Prussian Tactics Barred
 From the American Army

~ APT. HOWARD E. SULLIVAN NJ of Battery D, 105th field artil- lery, was tried by courtmartial at Spartanburg, s. C., on charges of or dering and witnessing the whipping of a private. He was found guilty The sentence of the court was that he be suspended from his command for thirty days, restricted to the camp for the same period and that he re- ceive reprimand from his command ing officer.
 The courts finding was submitted to Brig. Gen. Charles L. Phillips, temporarily in command of the Twen- ty-seventh division. He disapprovad and returned it for revision. The court held to it's decision and the sentence was made public.
 General Phillips order to the coart- martial was strong condemnation of Captain Sullivan. General Phillips stated that the punishment decreed was entirely inadequate,' that the evidence presented "discloses cow ardly abuse of authority on the part of the accused" who should have been convicted of violating the ninety-fifth article of war, which would have caused his dismissal from the ssrv- ice.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger new thing. Mars overcame Vulcan in the contest for the favor of Venus. Ever since supremacy in love has fol- lowed supremacy in arms. Khaki has a charm for the fair no less than gold lace. Is it any wonder then, that there quering heroes? An unnamed citizen, described merely as well dressed" has called upon the New York board of health to interfere. "Everywhere you go," he says, you see girls kissing soldiers and sailors. Nobody else has a are those who would forbid such tokens of affection on the germ theory, but this critic leads us by his own words to suspect the purity of his motives. Nobody else has a chance That is why the kissing is "an outrage and a%s menace to humanity" It would pre- sumably be neither an outrage nor ~ menace were the attentions of the young women less exclusive. But the alienation of their devotion from tie men who stay at home is one of the inevitable perils of war.
 It is hard to see what can be done to appease this perturbed spirit. Boards of health and other guardians of phys- ical ethics have tried before this to suppress kissing by denouncing it. Laws have been passed under which in discreet practitioners of the art could be arrested. Vain, vain the endeavor! Human nature has way of holding its own in spite of artificial restrictions.

To Accommodate
 Overflow Crowds

e o popular have the community g concerts at the Bijou on Sunday afternoon become that the overflow crowds are as large as those gaining admission. In order to accommodate the surplus Director Robert Lawrence hes arranged to have each programme repeated.
 By moving the schedule for begin ming back to o'clock and allowing fifteen minutes for the house to be cleared after the first performance, the second will be over by 5:30 or 5:45 at the latest. It may be that not all of the eager throng turned away when the doors are closed at 3 tomorrow will wait or come back for the second concert, but many of them will. And after the "continuous performance" plan has been in opera tion two or three Sundays conditions will, it is believed, adjust themselves agreeably to all concerned. Not a few people will prefer the later hour and it will not be surprising to see capacity house at both concerts.
 The new arrangement should work well while Birmingham is waiting for the promised auditorium. At any rate Mr. Lawrence is to be commended for trying it.

 Now, I found out that both MT. Lee and MT Davison were more than anxious to meet any just demands on their time They cared nothing about social enter tainment, but they were gluttons for work. This is the true spirit of the tied Cross worker. Both of them brought out the fact that swhile $l0o,oo0,o0o had been raised in money, that equally as much had been contributed in labor.

That if this nation lis not competent to make the slight adjustment necessary to compensate for this scientific selection, then it is not competent to enter this war"
 The principle of selection has been tried and proved by the people and General Crowder was led to believe that they approved it with substantial Iunanimity. The volunteer method of raising armies has gone forever. If it was ever effective conditions have so changed that it fits poorly into great war scheme like the present.
 General Crowder is the right man in the right place and if more strenu- ous talk is needed he can be depended upon for it.

Tcday's Beauty Hint

1t is not necessary to shampoo
your hair SO frequently II it is en-
tirely and properly cleansed each
time by the use of really good
shampoo. The easiest to use and
quickest drying shampoo that we can
recommend to our readers is one that
brings out all the natural beauty OF
the hair and may be enjoyed at very
little expense, by dissolving a tea
spoonful of canthrox. which can be
obtained frcm any druggist, in a cup
of hot water. This makes full cup
of shampoo liquid, enough SO it is
easy to apply it to all the hair instead
of just the top Of the head. This
when rubbed into the scalp and onto
every strand of hair, chemically dis
solves all impurities. 1t is very sooth-
ing and cooling in its action, as well
as beneficial to both scalp and hair.
After rinsing out the lather so Great
ed, you will find the scalp is fresh,
clean and free from dandruff, while
the hair dries quickly and evenly. de-
veloping bright luster and soft
fluffiness that makes it seem very
heavy.-Adv.
