Russia S Breakdown
Not a Misfortune by Any Means for
the Allied Cause

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Every one seems to take very pessi-
mistic view of the collapse of Russia. 1t
does not seem as if this gloom is alto
gether justified. In the first place, | be-
lieve the United States has been relieved
of a great burden which would have grown
in weight as time went on. We have been
loaning money and selling supplies to the
Car and his encourage and we can now see
very plainly that the efforts were all prac-
tically wasted. Russia never has been any
thing more than a geographical expression,
and Germany in loading herself down with
such burdens as Austria and Russia in ad-
dition to the hatred of the entire remainder
OF mankind, is making herself hopeessly
weak.
When the Kaiser tries to carry out the
policy of slaughtering helpless women and
children all over European and Asiatic
Russia the edge of the sword that he needs
to fight England, France and America will
have grown very dull. 1t required huge
standing army under the Gar to keep any
kind of peace in the empire, and 1t will take
an even larger force of Germans. With
Moscow, Petrograd and Odessa in the hands
of Germany and the whole interior in a con-
slant state of revolt, where are the men 20
be found to meet the armies crossing the
seas from this country?
1t must be remembered that it is possible
for our forces to cross either the Atlantic
or the Pacific. If We joined Japan in help
ing the English army march from Bsgdad to
Constantinople, We should be rendering fully
as great service TO the common cause as IL
we had defeated the submarines and we're
pouring troops into France. X. S. II.

Arms Of WASHINGTON,

The arms which Washington used
are heraldically described as follows:
Argent silver, two bars gules Uedl, In
chief three mullets tstars) Of the sec
ond, gules redl The crest: a raven
with wings addorsed, sable (blackl, is
suing ont of ducal coronet, or tSoldl.
Although these arms were used by
Washington. the arms of the family i'll
Yorkshire are materially different,
bearing lion and being surmounted
by crest with an eagle, not II raven.
The Yorkshire arms Were the original
arms, according to Albert Welles,
whose Pedigree and History of the
Washington Family gives with edify-
ing detail the descent of the Father of
His Country from Odin, first king of
Scandinavia. Fifty-iiye generations
were required to evolve George Wash
ington from Odin.

How lard nubber = Made.

We're all of US coming in contact
with hard rubber every day of our
lives. our fountain pen, our inkwell
tops, the magnetic parts and telephone
receivers are all made OF hard rubber.
But how is it made? Where does it
differ from the rubber in an automo-
bile tire, for instance? Well wager n
guess that not one man in a thousanG
knows.
INFLAMMATION consists of uniting sui
phur with rubber to give it certain
properties Of elasticity. durability and.
still more important, make it To retain
these same properties under all normal
conditions of heat and cold.
When larger proportion of sulphur
than is found in ordinary soft rubber
is present and vulcanization is contin-
ued for much longer time we obtain
as Il result a substance vastly different
in physical properties rubber.
Before vulcanization it is quite elastic
and we can mold it to suit our needs

Alkali In Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair look
ing its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless). and
is better than the most expensive
soap or anything else you can use. =
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in. 1t makes an abundance
Of rich, creamy lather, which rinses
out easily, removing every particle
of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and even
ly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and
the hair fine and silky, bright, lus-
trous, fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
ber of the family for months.-Adv.
