A B C POWERS SPLIT
ON U-BOAT QUESTION
Argentina Is Neutral" But Brazil Backs
President Wilson, Although Not
Breaking OFF Relations.

Buenos Aires, Feb. 9--Hope of further
concert of action or continuance of the
"a B Gu unity of action among American
republics apparently is at an end.
Inability of the Argentine, Brazil and
Chil< to agree on the answer to Ger

boat war or in their reply to President
Wilson's appeal to neutral nations was
believed by diplomats yesterday to indi-
cate complete dissolution of the plan.

terday, the Argentine's note to Germany
regrets that the imperial government had
adopted such extreme measures, but an
nounces the Argentine's strict adherence
to principles of international law-mean-
ing apparently that Buenos Aires intends
to maintain entire neutrality.
Brazil, on the other hand, has practi-
eally joined with the United States in
adWdging Germany's blockade illegal. No
break in relations has been made, how
ever, the government for the present
merely contenting itself with vigorous
statement of its views.
Official information from Chile is lack
ing.
The greatest interest is manifested
here in SPANS attitude on the question.
A dispatch received from La Nacion's
Madrid correspondent yesterday declared
that Germany was negotiating with
Spain" as to that nations fruit cargoes
and had announced its purpose to avoid
sinking Spanish ships carrying such
commodity, even if destined for the al
lies.

nifty to go on record as to his conviction

Proper Comb for Hair

Dear Madam--Do you think a fine or a coarse
comb Is better for the hair? Also, how often
should the hair be shsmpooed? Are wire brushes
good for It? V. l.. NJ.
A coarse comb, preferably one of hard
rubber, with smooth. rounded edges, that
will not split the hair IL the best kind.
Never use comb with broken teeth. Sham
pooing all depends on the individual. The
average person requires "A shampoo once
every two or three weeks. Some persons re-
quire one every week, while. on the other
hand l have known persons with beautiful
heads of hair who did not have 1t washed
