SENIORS HEARD OF
 COAST GUARD SERVICE
Lieut.. w. N. Derby Addressed Social
 Gathering at the Y. m. c. 4.

The r. NJ. c. A seniors and friends at well attended gathering in the hall Wednesday evening heard Lieut.. W. N. Derby of the U. S. Coast Guard Academy at New London deliver an interesting and instructive address on Coast Guard Work. Lieut.. Derby said in part:
 At the conclusion of the Revolution ary war the Continental navy was disbanded and there was no navy or coast defense until 17s0 when the rev. enue cutter service was established. This service was created primarily for the protection of the customs revenue and was placed under the treasury de-
 partment which equipped small. fast. armed sailing vessels These vessels were for protection against smusgiers and subsequently against slave trad ing, piracy and mutiny and still later for the enforcement of navigation and quarantine laws. This service is also used for the protection of seals in Alaskan waters and in assisting yes- sels in distress and in the destruction of dereIicts
 An ice patrol was established In the revenue cutter service in 1912 at the time of the Titanic disaster. This was brought by international conference and the U. s. service was assigned to this duty. Examples of the emergen- cy service is shown when a. herd of seals in the Arctic relief expedition in 1896 was driven across Alaska to the relief of eight whaling vessels on the Arctic coast.
 In the early days the revenue cutter service was assisted by shore stations in rendering aid to vessels in distress. Thi branch of the service became in 1876 separated from the original and was called the life saving service of modern days.
 The modern revenue cutter is of 1o50 tons, has seven officers and about 75 in the crew. There are 2s0 shore stations on the coast of America which includes the Great Lakes, the. Pacific, Gulf and Atlantic coasts. In 1916, 1219 lives were saved, 1453 ves- sells at value of $10. 800 ,00o with 15,- 600 people on board were saved The service destroyed 30 dereIicts-
 The Coast Guard is part of the U. s. Military service and the officers have the same ranking. as the officers in the navy and army.
 Lieut.. Derby also told of the achieve ments of the service in the differet wars which this country has seen.
 Two reels of motion pictures were shown following the address, relative to the Navy and Coast Guard service. Reginald Ashbev played the piano during the pictures.

Use Cocoanut Oil
 For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good condition. be careful what you wash it with.
 Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkah. This dries the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain muisified cocoanut oil (which is pure and en- tirely greaseIess), 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 and rub it in. One or two tea spoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather. and cleanses the hsfr and scalp thoroughly. The iather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, daT.drstff and ex- cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright. fluffy and easy to man age.
 You can get muIsifed cocoarut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap. and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months.
