Alkali Makes Soap
Bad for Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkai, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil. for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap, and beats the most expen-
sive soaps or any thing else all to
pieces. You can get this at any drug
store. and few ounces will last the
whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance OF rich, creamy lather.

Washing Won't Rid
Head OF Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid OF
dandruff is to dissolve 1t, then you de-
stroy it entirely. To do this. get
about four ounces OF ordinary liquid
arvon: apply 1t at night when retiring;
use enough to moisten the scalp and
rub it in gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight. and by morning.
most If not all, OF your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more appli-
cations will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace Of 1t, no matter how much dand.
ruff you may have.
You will find. too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus
trous, glossy, silky and soft. AID look
and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive and never
fails to do the work-Adv.

pounding at the Dardanelles His
story was amazingly interesting, but
doubted it, until I met the captain Of
one of the Zeppelins which had taken
part in the operation. He confirmed
everything the Turk told.
After the Allied feet had pulverized
several Turkish forts, and after troops
were landed on the Dardanelles.. the
whole world expected the fall of Con-
stantinople within few weeks, If not
days. Turkey was spending every
shell she possessed to defend her po-
sitions. The German and Turkish bat
tleships had to give up their supplies
kept hammering, and the situation be-
came more desperate.
Germany had promised Turkey sup
port, so the Krupp interests tried to
send powder and ammunition to Tur-
key via Rumania. Servia at this time
was still unconquered. Rumania, how
ever. placed an embargo on the ship
ment of war supplies through her ter
ritory. so Germany shipped powder in
beer kegs and shells In cement blocks.
For some time Rumania did not dis
cover the German tricks, and 1t was
not until key Of powder on a sup
posed beer train exploded In Ruman-
ian freight yards that Rumania dis
covered what was going on. The
Krupps had shipped train load Of
powder in beer kegs. On one car
they had real Bavarian beer for dis
tribution to Rumanian border officials,
but one night when the train was on
q side track four Rumanian railroad
men broke into a car. took out key,
and when they hammered in the bung-
hole the barrel exploded, killing three
of the men and wounding the fourth.
That put stop to the shipment of
war supplies through Rumania.
But the Allies were still attacking
the Dardanelles, and Turkey needed

SAYS ROWLAND.
BY Mark Shields
Manager Clarence Rowland is out
with one of the most cheering bits of
information of the winter. The
White Sox pilot declares that the
best man will be selected to play
right field on the South Side during
the coming season. Hap Felsch is a
fixture in center and there is no
chance to displace Joe Jackson in
left.
But that bare statement about
right field is the meat of the bust
ness. It means that the race will be
open to John Collins, Eddie Murphy,
Memo LeboId and Bruno Haas, the
new fellow from the New York State
league.
And there is better than an even
chance that John Collins will not be
able to hold the job regularly again.
Much conversation was spilled about
Collins in 1916 and frequently he
was labeled the best Outfelder in the
American league. All of which was
the widest exaggeratiOn. Collins is
a fine fielder defensively. but he did
not hit a big league clip in 1916 and
never has done as well as a base
runner as his speed warrants.
Eddie Murphy is not in Johns
class in the field, but he is one of
the best men on attack in the
league, as good as any Iead-off man
in the business. He is adept at
bunting, can hit them out and is one
of the most patient walters a pitch
er has to face. Once on base, he
works well with the batter and
forces himself around the paths
through trickery and speed. He had
a few chances last season, but was
Ebenched nsshort order. He should
mot have been.

to shagging flies. He is as good as
Collins in that respect. He, also, is
a good Iead-Off man because Of his
diminUtive stature.
Haas is an unknown who has yet
to prove himself. Much is made of
the .3O1 he hit in the minors last
year.
Great publicity is given to Ban
JOhnson's threat to act against John
Henry, Washington catcher, for
Henry's alleged activity in support
ing Dave FUltz's strike plan. Henry
is representative of the fraternity on
the Washington club. The story is an
old one, and fired up some time ago.
At that time Manager Griffith in a
long statement said he wanted no
outside Interference in disciplining
his players and was capable of hand
ling the situation.
johnson says Henry will be ex-
PEELED if the case against him is
proven. Imagine how easy it would
be to deprive Washington of it's star
catcher. When Ty Cobb fOmented
the strike of the Detroit Tigers a
few seasons back Ty wasn't expelled.
But the talk makes news on a dull
day.
Henry denies emphaticaIIy he has
communicated with any players but
members Of the Washington club,
and the league recognizes his right to
do that.
Cub players will be ordered to re-
port here Feb. Is for the spring
training trip. That is two days be-
fore date of departure. President
Weeghman says he wants the ath-
letes to meet Manager Mitchell and
get acquainted, but the bunch is that
the North Side executive wants to
see where he stands and how badly
the players strike and the hOldouts
have hit him.

IMPORTANT MATTER OF LIGHT
Excellent Reasons Why 1t Should AL
ways Fall From the Left Side of
Writer or Worker.

The well-known fact that, when
hsing the eyes for any hear work, the
illumination should come from the left
side rather than the right, is often dis:
regarded.
Let anyone who considers the matter
of little Importance once demonstrate
TO himself the difference and he will
never forget it. Take a pencil and pa,
per and try to write While in such u
position that the light will fall from
the right side.
The shadow of the hand or pencil
or both is thrown on the paper in such
Il way as partly to cover the characters
n is making. This nccessitates q
closer viewpoint and Il conscious strain
on the eyes. Now let the position of the
writer be reversed SO that the light
falls from the left side.
He will notice that the shadows fal!
away from the work he is doing, and
leave the field unobscured. In making
the change he cannot help but notice
the feeling OF ease that Immediately is
experienced by the eyes.
This applies to any other kind of
near work in which the fingers act I'M
der the guidance of the eyes. This fact
should be remembered in planning
schoolrooms, workrooms, offices and
any places where steady, close work is
to he performed.

The Word "Cannibalisn,." ;"

The word "cannibalism" Is really the name of a people. It Is identical with Carib, many of the Carlos, who for merly flourished in the West Indies, having been consumers of human flesh. The letters "l," '.n" and "r' are interchangeable in certain aboriginal American languages, so that Columbus found one West Indian island saying "Caniba" where another said "Carib," !" while Shakespeare's Caliban is another variety of the name. Columbus own conjecture was that the name was con- nected with the great khan, and later philologists of the old slapdash type associated 1t with "canis." dog. Ap- parently, however, the meaning Of "ca- rib" was brave and daring.
