WOMEN DORMlTORIES
Senate Recommends Bonds for Build
inss at State Schools.

One of the few important bills rec
commended for passage by the. senate
Tuesday authorizes the state board of
administration to issue 100000 worth
of . per cent bonds for each of the
state educational institutions for the
purpose of erecting dormitories for
women. The bill was introduced by
Senator Carroll of Wabaunsee
n total of half million dollars IN
bonds is authorized-S10O,0 1000 for
each of five institutions. The institu-
tions to issue bonds are the state
university, the state agricultural col
lege, the state normal at Emporia,
the state normal at Hays and the
state manual training school at Pitts
burg.
The state board of administration
is authorized to take the proceeds
from the rent of the dormitories and
pay off the bonds. principal and inter
est. Senators Plumb of Lyon and
Carroll of WabaunSee smoothed over
whatever opposition there might have
been by explaining in detail the made
quate housing facilities for girls at the
different institutions
Under the present laws the state
institutions could not issue bonds but
there is a companion bill in the SEN
ate authorizing them to incorporate.
In order for the bill authorizing the
issuance of the bonds to become oper-
ative the companion bill must be
passed.

Careless Use Of Soap
Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully.
if you want to keep your hair looking
it's 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 evenly,
and it leaves the scalp soft, and the
hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous.
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap. ana
a few ounces will supply every mem
Der of the family for months.-Adv.

five minutes.

If your stomach is in a revolt; if sick
gassy and upset, and what you just
ate has fermented and turned sour;
head dizzy and aches; belch gases and
acids and eructate undigested food !;
breath foul. tongue coated-just take
a little Pape's Diapepsin to help neu-
tralize acidity and in five minutes you
wonder what became of the indiges-
ton and distress.
Millions of men and women today
know that it is needless to have dys-

they eat their favorite foods without

If your stomach doesn't take care of
your liberal limit without rebellion:
if your food is a damage instead of
a help. remember the quickest. surest,
most harmless relief is Pape's Diapep-
sin, which costs only fifty cents for a
large case at drug stores. It's truly
wonderful-it stops fermentation and
acidity and sets things straight, 50

New York, Feb. 2S.-Germany
campaign of unrestricted summarizing
has been in operation a month With
out demonstrating it's effectiveness Tor
bringing the allies to terms.
Serious damage has been done to al
lied and neutral shipping, but not suf-
fcient to give real hope of victory to
the German government
More than twice as much destruc-
ton of shipping as has occurred dur
ing February must fall to the subma-
rines monthly before a real danger
line of defeat may become visible to
the allies.
If the Germans have put forth their
best efforts during the past month, as
is probable, the February record cam
not be seriously surpassed while the
submarine campaign proceeds
Advantage to Allies.
On the contrary, the increase of
precautions by the allies, including
chiefly new mine fields off the Ger
man coast, the most effective arming
of merchantmen and the fastened
construction of new ships, ought to
give a slowly increasing advantage to
the allies. Germany's largest totals
of victims occurred during the early
days of February before the British
government had made fully ready to
meet the new menace. The rapid i'm
provement of defensive methods has
been shown by the frequent falling off
in submarine victims during. the last
days of the month.
The restrictions upon imports into
the United Kingdom, announced by
Premier Lloyd George on February
%, are in themselves more than suf-
ficient to counterfeit the additional
effects of the new submarine cam
paign. beyond the average shipping
losses that occurred before the indis-
criminate sinkings began. If Ger
many's attacks upon the vessels of
neutral countries were to cease any
unusual importance of the submarine
campaign would vanish.
Aiming Neutrals Hurts Germany.
In proportion to their numbers
merchantmen of the allied powers cali
take care Of themselves. 1t is the
unarmed neutral shipping that pro-
portionately has contributed most ser
iously to the increased sinkings since
the submarines began to fire on all
vessels at sight. If neutral vessels
arm themselves and defend their
right to traverse the seas. there will
be still further drop in the number
of submarine victims.

TO GIVE TWO PLAYS
I'll. S. Dramatic Club to Present "Pru-
nelIa'' and "A Box of Monkeys

The High School Dramatic club will
stage the most pretentious entertain
ment it has yet attempted at the high
school auditorium the evening of
March 8. In lire with the theatrical
fad now prevalent in the east of pre-
senting several short plays in one
evening, the club will present "Pru-
nella," a three-act comedy, and "A
Box of Monkeys" two-act farce.
''Prunella" is an excursion into the
lands of fancy and allegory and is
distinguished by poetry and elaborate
scenic setting. The club is having
two sets made for the staging of
the play. "A Box of Monkeys" is a
laughable short farce by Graces Fur
Miss. Both plays will be presented
before the drama department of the
Women's club some time IeXt week.
The leads in "Prunella" are carried
by Miss Gertrude Thompson and
Cranston Vincent. In the farce Miss
wanger have the main roles.
