:. NO INAUGURAL BALL.

New York Times.
= President Wilson has again shown
p: the Inauguration ceremonies OF that
gray old humbug, the so-called lnaug-
ural ball. With record Of two IN
augurations freed from the presence
Of this hoary imposter, it may be
reasonably hoped that its absence has
settled into a precedent. which Mr.
Wilson's successor will follow as q
matter of course. Innocent outsiders
imagined that the thing was q part
of the official ceremonies, conducted
BY the national government; the mis-.
leading adjective inaugural" helped
along the delusion. It was not an
inaugural ball at all; it was a ball
be]d in Washington at Inauguration
time. which is different thing. 1t
was q ball like any other ball, got
ten up for profit by private citizens
OF Washington; there was nothing
governmental about it, except that
the government regularly lent one OF
it's buildings to the money-getters
who conducted the thing. Anybody
with an evening costume or the abll-
ty to hire one, and some small bills
In his pocket to pay the admission
price, could get in, just as he could
at any other public dance held in
Washington or any other city, and
then 60 home and amaze the neigh
bors. 1t was to tickle this. human
& failing, and to make money out Of
It, that the Washington business men
ran the lance and plastered the word
s.inaugural" on it.
( !: It was all lamentable bit Of shod-
diness, exploiting the bounderism
that is one of the least admirable ele-
Sments in the national character: 1t
touched its highest point of vulgari-
ty in making the president Of the
United States pass under the yoke
Of money-making; for, to give the
thing some air or oficiality, and to
prevent the ticket purchasers from
suspecting the real nature of it, the
men who sold the tickets and got
the government to save them the
rent of hall used to wheedle the
incoming president into coming into
the place for few minutes and let
ting the so-called "guests" have a
look at him. President Wilson was
the first president who had the cour-
age to set his foot on the whole
wretched fraud and squash it, regard
less of the feelings and the profits
of the ticket dealers. His reputation
now of that act probably seals the
fate Of an unregretted inaugural
hall. .,.. ,.....,

KING OF SPAIN ORDERS FOUR
MORE WILLYS-KNlGHT CARS

A highest compliment to Ameri-
can manufacturing supremacy was
paid recently by Alphonso, King of
Spain, when he ordered four WHY'S
knight cars,-two touring cars and
two limousines-through the Euro
pean headquarters Of The WHY'S
Knight Overland Company, of Tole-
do, Ohio.
This order is all the more notable
because of the fact that King AL
fonso ordered one Willys-Knight
touring car last spring through his
ambassador at Washington. This
car, especially equipped with wire
wheels, was forwarded to him last
April.
Reports from Madrid after the car
had been delivered, indicated that
his Spanish Majesty was highly pleas
ed with his new purchase.
Yet no official word was received
until the arrival the other day of the
cablegram from the European head
qarters of the company, ordering
four more four-cylinder WHY'S
Knights, to be dispatched at the
very earliest opportunity.
This royal endorsement of the
Knight-motored car, manufactured
by The WHY'S Overland Company;
can be taken as supreme triumph
for American builders Of Knight
sleeve motors. Such a large single
order means, without doubt, that
King Alfonso considers the Knight
motored car, smade in Toledo, O.,
at least the equal in accomplishments
of the renowned Daimler, Panhard,
Mercedes, Minerva and various other
European Knight cars that sell from
$4,000 to $4,000.

USE COCOANUT OIL
FOR WASHING HAIR

II you want to keep your hair
In good condition, be careful
what you wash it 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
greaseless), Is much better than
the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use for sham
pooling. as this can't possibly in
jure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub 1t in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
ance of rich. creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out
easily, and removes every parti-
Gle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly. and 1t leaves it fine
and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsif!ed 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.

Whatever else happens In Ger
many, her courts of justice are de-
termined to save the food swind-
lers from the punishment for their
crimes.
An influential firm, the head of
which belongs to the Inner cir
Gle" OF the kaiser's court, was
charged in the Berlin penal court
with selling ''cocoa-substitute'
which proved to be rotten. The
Solingen "Arbeiterstimme" says:
THE cocoa-substit was ad-
mittedly rancid, and therefore I'M
consumable, but the court dis
missed the charge and acquitted
the criminals, the judge explain
ing his action in the following
terms:
Many worthless food products
are now being brought on the
market which are gratefully pur-
chased by the public simply be-
cause of the lack of food
Smart tradespeople will not be
slow to draw their own conclu-
sions from this case. The result
will be that henceforth more than
ever we shall have to wash with
soap that does not cleanse, strive
to nourish ourselves with soups
that contain not a trace of nutri-
ment, and season our food with
pepper made of ground stones.
I'VE shall have to sit down in
front of omelettes without a par
ticle of egg and wash them down
with fruit juice which has never
come into contact with fruit. We
shall also have to continue walk
