CARELESS USE OF SOAP
SPOIIS THE HAIR

Soap should be used very care
fully, IL 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 1t.
The best thing for steady use 10
Just ordinary mulsified coooanut
oil (which is pure and greaseless).
and is better than the most or
pensive soap or anything else you
can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls Will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub 1t In. 1t makes
an abundance Of rich, creamy
lather, which rinses out easily, re-
moving every particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil.
The hair dries quickly and even
ly, and 1t 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, and a few ounces will sup
ply every member of the family
for months. Acknowledgement.

AN SWE RS |
BY CYNTHIA GREY

Spasmodic economy is at pres
ent our most popular national
extravaganza.
The conscientious little cook
who has tempted her family all
week with corn bread and bean
soup is so apt to OvercOngratulate
herself OF a Saturday. "See how
must 1 have saved" she eXclaims,
then flies to the phone and Or
ders 5roiIers at $1.25 apiece for
Sunday dinner.
Or she spends weary hours try
ing to convert potroast into
something husband will take for a
tenderloin steak, and the next day
hands her savings across the deli
catessen counter in exchange for
expensive cooked delicacies.
Or she does the weeks wash
ing and ironing all alone, and then
sends for the doctor.
Focused close up, wartime
economy so far is too much look
ed upon as a patriotic device to
flaunt in public, like a flag on an
auto. 1t is accepted to osenti-
mentally, much as If it were one
phase of that glorious martyrdom
which war demands of woman.
All which is rather silly, for
woman gets out of patient, per-
sistent economy far more than she
ever puts into it. Thrift Is a
splendid individual asset and a
particular personal benefit to the
person who achieves 1t.
True economy stands for
discrimination, good taste
and restraint. Ii is MIND
and WILL applied to the me-
chanics of life.
A fast and feast are the way
OF all flesh, but a system of spas
modic economy gets woman no

The Pauper Railroads

Confidence in the interstate commerce commits
sion is strengthened by it's ruling on the 10 per
cent rate case. Its decision is conspicuously
right.
The railroads do not need the ID per cent freight
increase. No American business institution has
as good credit as the standard railroad. 1t can
borrow money, because it is making money. The
roads of the so-caled eastern districts last year
earned more than 1912 per cent on all their CAPT
tai stock outstanding, including water This is
according to the sworn returns made by the rail
roads to the interstate commerce commission.
Two-thrds of the traffic in the eastern railroad
district is handled by roads which earned on
average more than Is per cent on all their capital
stock last year.
The truth is our railroads tremendously
wealthy. Two-thirds Of the traffic of the United
States is handled by railroads having more than
1000 millions of surplus of which 800 millions is
cash ON deposit invested in the securities of
other companies.
1t is not patriotic spectacle presented by the
roads which have come hat in hand to Washing
ton begging for more income Everybody is
called upon to do little bit of sacrifice for the big
purpose Of war efficiency; lot of poor people
are going to sacrifice, whether they want to or
not The railroads will do well now to turn
their attention to the very pressing need for
making themselves efficient. If they do not do
30 soon, the government will take them over. And
perhaps that might be the best thing after ALL

ONLY 500 BIG GUNS
S.ARMY;;MUST
EXPEND BILLIONS

The expenditure OF billions OF dol
lars for field artillery alone will be
necessitated by the lack OF prepared
ness Of the United States for war with
a first class power.
The Ordnance Department estimates
that the United States will need thou
sands Of pieces of artillery before the
war Is won.
The War Department has 600 guns
At for use on the front. During the
last few years the War Department
has been constructing them at the
rate OF fifty a year-Just about enough
to make up for wastage in the regular
establishments.
The capacity Of the arsenals under
Government control is approximately
100 per year, but Congress heretofore
has declined to appropriate funds even
for this number, 20 that the supply for
the war will be bought at top prices.
When the War Department was
confronted with the vital necessity Of
getting guns without delay the Ord
nance Bureaus records showed that
II would be virtually impossible to
turn out any considerable number In
this country within the next year.
The French government immedi-
ately offered to turn over to the
American army now in France q sur
plus accumulated during the last
year. This offer was accepted.
General Crozier, chief OF ordnance.
also took steps at once to equip
great number OF forging establish
ments and is organizing machine
shops SO that they will be available
for the work. About one year from
now these shops will be able to finish
all the guns forged In American foun-
dries. Meantime all of the available
forgings in this country will be ship
ped to France and mAchined in the
