Hair Often Ruined
 By Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most. soaps and prepared sham Poos contain. too much alkali. This dries the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
 The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsihed cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or any, thing else you can use.
 One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply m!oisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich. creamy father, which rinses out easily, removing evety 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 n1ulsifed cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and few ounces will supply every member of the family for months.

ROTARY ANTI-NOISE
 SIGNS DESIGN CHOSEN
ROtarianS Also Decide to Attend ill Body Annual Meeting of Char
 ities.

Rotarians at the weekly luncheon session at the Hotel Pines yesterday were entertained by three members of the Orpheo theatre orchestra How ard o. Stein, pianist, Harry C. Cady, violinist, and Harry l.. Johnson, drum- 'mer and traps. Tine Rotarians enjoy ed the music so much that they eN- tended the young artists a vote of thanks.
 Members of the club and their guests enjoyed talks by Hunter A. Knox, A. G. Bedell. Harold Bluthon- thai and Walter Wilkins, the first nhmed speaking concernihG recent trips to the East MT. BIuthenthal said he saw troops leaving for France. and that everywhere the men of the Regular army, National guard and National army are hailed as patriots and self-sacrificing men. Discussing business conditions, he said the bus- mess men with whom he conversed were puzzled to know how the South would transport it's products to the markets and seaports; that the trans DOrtation problem was considered one of the most difficult facing the coun- try, and spoke of the need for CO operation of all in utilizing freight cars that the maximum service may be obtained.
 A. D. Foster, chairman of the clubs committee on anti-noisc slgns, sup mitted two models. These arc fash toned of wood, bear the Rotary em- blem, and request drivers of vehicles to avoid unnecessary noise. Ihese signs will be placed near churcnes' hospitals and hotels, and others. re questing care in driving, will be plac- ed near schools. The club selected the smaller of the designs. and tMf Foster said his committee would place the order at once.
 H. I. Holderness, president or the Associated Charities, announced that the annual meeting of that organ ization will be held next Monday eve ming at the Hotel Pines, and requested that Rotarians and their wives attend and thus learn something about the great work the Charities is doing m relieving distress in Pine Bluff" At the suggestion of Major w.

Christians Should Discharge Their Duties to Fullest
 Extent, Says Stephens.
DELEGATION FROM
 COTTON BELT SHOPS
Evangelist Breaches Housing Sermon Urging All Men to Become CllriS- tians in Word and in Deeds,
 and Not Make Excuses.
(By A. Homer Jordan.)

Another big delegation from the Cotton Belt shops was present at the tabernacle last night. They were formed at the Y. M. c. A. into a line of march which was quite eX- tended. They occupied seats in the center block of the tabernacle. The Cotton Belt double quartet sang, "Gently Down Life's River."
 The song service was uplifting and the audience seemed to enter deeply into the spirit of it. The chorus rendered the anthem chorus, "The Awakening Song" Rev. w. J. B. Cox led in prayer
 The subject of the sermon was Excuses" and the text was Luke 14:1S And they all with one con- sent began to make excuse" MT. Stephens launched boldly into his sub- ject as soon as he rose to his feet.
 ''It pains me-" said he, "to have to spend an evening talking about the small and flimsy excuses that men give for not being Christians. The mon mentioned in this chapter lied when they made their excuses. One said he had bought a piece of land and must needs go and see it. Now you know that this man would not have bought land before he had seen it. and he would not have gone to see it at supper time. The second had bought yoke of oxen and thought he had to go and try them. You know he would not have bought these oxen without having tried them. Both these mon lied. The third man was the biggest liar of all. He had married wife and asked to be eX- cused. No wife would have refused an invitation to a wedding supper like this onc but she would have gladly gone. These men had just as good excuses, however, for not at tending the supper as you have for not being Christian. I want to take up few, and cnly few of the excuses given.
 "There are some who say that they do not want to be Christians because there are hypocrites in the church. Now l Hnow there are hypocrites, and am sorry for it. But there are hypocrites in everything in the world, always have been, and always will be. Isn't it strange that hypocrites never bother in anything but the church. dare say that in the Masonic lodge, the Odd Fellows, and every other lodge of this city there are hypo- critics. plenty of them, and they do not bother the other members. You do not quit your lodge because there arc hypocrites in it. Why condemn the church and have nothing to do with it because there are hypocrites in it? There are hypocrites among doctors, lawyers, merchants and oth- CTS, but the men in these things do not wait because they have discover cd these false colleagues. Jesus is no hypocrite; God is not hypo- crite and you have no right to turn Them down. Would the fact that you had stayed away from Christ be- cause of hypocrites give you comfort in a dying hour? Usually the man who tries to hide behind hypocrite is a bigger one himself. Take the good big men of the church and stand yourself up alongside one of them and you would look like a rat terrier beside an elephant. I am willing to stake Christianity on the fact that

and, without preface or introduce

Fate?
You are Fate If, f%ashioning in every
Redeemed dawn the flame tipped spear
OF courage, you take the field,
And, single handed, stand against
the enfilade of adverse circumstance.
And, wearing all the armor Of self
faith, desert the camp Of yesterdays
defeats to ush the of today,s
success.
You, rich in the lore you learned
from lonely nights n hungered DAYS.
burst the bonds of sightless years.
break down the barriers precedent has
built, and fling into the lap Of life a
Discovery-and men cry Fate!
You, with bleeding fingers and ach-
ing heart and indomitable will, crush
from the bosom of the rock ribbed hills
their stores of gold-and men say Fate!
You, pursuing through the years the
fading tints of sunset, and hunting for
DINNER puppies in the cups of yiolets.
hang upon the walls of art q fresh and
unsupported glory-and the cry is
Fate! -
You, capturing the woman who made
q mock or men. take and wear her
forever like a rose upon your breast
and again the cry is Fate!
There is nc Fate-no Atropos to cut
the thread OF your endeavor-no blind
woman's skirts behind which the black
ness OF failure and defeat may hide.
You are a conquerer by inheritance
put here to fight, to besiege, to thun-
der IN the charge-not to sit in idle
ease among the flowers already bloom
Ing, but to snatch from the high cliffs
OF 1mpossibility blossoms closer to the
gardens that the angels keep.
n thing called Fate is the soul of
you-sWifter than the flight OF wings.
stronger than the blows Of accident q

OF Fortune and hang on the paisied'
limbs OF Destiny a robe more gorgeous
than the world has ever seen.
