A cross-eYed man will have the

The circus has specialized in trained

COCOANUT OIL MAKES A
SPLENDID SHAMPOO

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what
you wash 1t with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and is very harmful. Just
plain mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than the
most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing,
as this can't possibly injure the
hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water aud rub 1t in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
anee Of rich, creamy lather. and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out
easily and removes every particle
of dust, dirt, dandruff and excess
sive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and 1t leaves it fine
and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at most any drug store. 1t is
very cheap. and a few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the
family for months.

REGULAR
ARMY TO
GO FIRST

WASHINGTON. ID. c., April 4.
BY the time congress acts on
the war resolution all plans for
assembling all the nations forces
to strike at the imperial govern
ment of Germany will be ready
for presentation by the president.
Army legislation, based on Sc
lectiye CONSUMPTION of the coun-
try's young men as rapidly as
they can be equipped, differed
and trained, is considered proba-
bly, the most important of the war
plans.
All men except those exempted
such as married men, mechani-
cal experts, scientists, etc.-will
be expected to come under the
colors.
The government will have some
ldesignation-a button probably
which will be given to those ex-
empted and otherwise serving the
country, but who are not under
training. This is the same
scheme followed by England to
protect those not actually in the
army from being dubbed slack
ers."
Under the three-year basis plan,
it is the intention of the govern
ment to train men in increments
of 100000 until there are suffi-
cient to beat Germany.
No men will be sent to Europe
Immediately; probably none will
go for at least six months. The
present regulars believe they will
be the first expeditionary force,
leaving the newly-trained men as
home guard until the second in
erement of 100000 Is trained.
Age Limit, 10 to 23.
The maximum and minimum
age limits of men for the first Is
expected to be Is and 23.
Pending the raising of Ameri-
cas- army, this government is
making preparations to ship un-
limited supplies to the allies-in-
GLIDING not only money, but food
and ammunition.

NEED
FOR NEW
SESSION
Especial to The Times)


SPOKANE, April 4.-Gov. Lis
ter said Washington state was
ready for war. He said there was
no need of special session Of the
Legislature.
Everything that is possible to

cooperation will be instant when
the need is made known, but the
leadership of the federal govern
ment will be sought and recog-
.nized.
Il don't like to be away from
Olympia very long during these
times and am keeping in constant
telegraphic touch with the office.
Our guard regiment at American
Lake will be held within the state,
I understand, as the original or
der of the war department was
to mobilize it for the protection
of transportation lines"
Gov. Lister today issued a proc
lamation calling on the people to
cooperate in great agricultural
preparedness campaign and direct
ing that immediate action be
taken in the matter.

TO HELP
FRANCE

Give a billion dollars to France
for the cause of liberty!
This proposed method of show
ing the gratitude of the U. S. to
the people of France for their
brave fight for democracy, was
suggested In The Times a week
ago, taken up by Tacoma's Home
Guard, approved by the CONNER
cial club trustees, and finally
unanimously endorsed by the
members of the Commercial club
in resolutions adopted at a rous-
ing patriotic meeting Tuesday
night.
The resolutions, presented by
the Home Guard, declare that "as
an expression of our gratitude
and appreciation and the warm
friendship now existing between
the two nations, we hereby recon-
mend that our government, with
as little delay as possible, proceed
to provide by an issue of bonds or
otherwise. the sum of 81 100000
900, this money to be presented to
the government of France as a gift
from the people of the United
States of America for the cause of
liberty, that government of, by
and for the people may not per-
ish."
Copies of the resolutions are be-
ing sent to Washington represen-
tatives in congress, with the re-
quest that they follow it up with
action.
Describes Shipyard Work.
One of the most interesting
parts of the meeting was a talk by
Charles B. Hurley, who gave an
account of the work at the new
Todd shipyards, and outlined the
big benefits Tacoma will derive
from the plant.
when completed the Todd
yards will be greater than any 9TH
er shipyards | have investigated
on the coast" said Hurley. He
said the first keel will be laid in
July and the first ship launched
from the yards next January
The company will have 1000
men employed by July, he added,
and 5000 by Oct. 1. and he warn
ed that the big problem before the
city will be to house its many new
residents.
J. T. s. Lyle. speaking on the
army cantonment at American
lake, said that with the mobiliza-
ton at the lake, the government
probably will acquire a large por-
ton of the site for immediate tenn
porary use.
Praise Wilson's Message.
John Hartman of Seattle said
the work on the Washington Ship
building Co. plant is being pushed
rapidly.
Capt. Carter of the coast artil-
lery urged cooperation in recruit
ing all the national guard organ
izations up to full war strength.
Bishop Keator. in stirring pa
triotic address, brought cheer
after cheer from the members.
Mentioning President Wilson,
great message to congress he said :
THAT was the most wonderful
message ever addressed to the citi-
zens of the world, splendid with
its true soul of democracy.
