PARCHMENT MOVE

Developments in the war are encour-
aging in the direction of peace Upon
the whole the allies are making steady
gains: not so much in territory as in
the persistent wearing down of the mill
tary strength of the central powers,
while the allies strength is steadily
maintained and even increasing. Sue
cess in this war is not TO be measured
so much by territory won or havoc
wrought. as by the relative fighting
abilities of the two sides There is no
question about which side is in the as
tendency and which on the decline Signs
of dissension and even disruption are
evident in Germany's present govern
ment crisis, but these should not be
taken too Seriously, Although Germany
is tired of the war and dissatisfied with
its recent conduct. the kaiser's power
is by no means broken. 1t should be re-
membered that both Great Britain and
France have had several government
crises. and Russia a great revolution
but none of these events had any other
result than determination to carry on
the war with still greater vigor 1t is
premature also to suppose that the
present crisis in Germany means an
early end of the war. Germany is not
yet conquered. and there is no assurance
that her people are yet ready for the
sort of peace terms that the allies are
bent on debating.

What promised to be a serious riot

Harbor, was presented Saturday night
only by the prompt action of a squad of
six policemen.
About one hundred fifty meen, most
of whom were said to be Lithuanfens,
were congregated at the above corner
and would not dispense upon request of
Officer 10th. In fact, they began to call
the officer names and to heap most in
sulting epithets upon him. He called
for help and Officer Fuzzy was sent to
the scene.
But the two officers were greatly
overwhelmed by numbers and were COM
PEELED to stand all sorts of insult. Final
ly. a squad consisting of Captain Kerr
and Officers Budich, Biehl and Rybowial.

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious. as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsifed cocoanut oil. for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap.
and beats the most expensive soaps or
anything 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 ii in. about a teaspoonful is all
that is required. IT makes an abund-
ance of rich. creamy lather, cleanses
thoroughly. and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft. fresh looking. bright. fluffy. wavy
and easy to handle. Besides. 1t loosens
and takes out every particle of dust dirt
and dandruff.-Adv.
