the very nature of the case there could
eign vessel could be employed as sug-
'gested and declared that we should
not reverse a policy which had existed
for a century and brought the greatest
results because Of a few special cases.
He pointed out that although for six
weeks the United States and Canada
had waived the provisions of law so
that American vessels are allowed to
carry Cargoes between Great Lake
ports and Canadian vessels may do the
same between United States ports on
the Great Lakes, Canada had not pro-
posed to repeal her coastWise laws and
reither should we. He showed that
these emergencies could be met as in
trade to foreigners.
Mr. Plummer pointed out the help
less condition as to transports this
country would have been in but for
the coastwise laws, which had given
US the great Hawaiian fleet and 9TH
er vessels now of the greatest value
to the country; and he showed what
would happen when oriental crews
began competing with American crews
On the Pacific, to say nothing of their
coming to the Atlantic.
Though sharply questioned by the
chairman of the committee Mr.. Plum
ner insisted that the best informed
shipping men believed that once this
coasting trade was opened to for
eigners even though the bill said it
was only for the war it would never
be closed again-and he referred to
the many attempts which heretofore
have been made to get this trade for
foreigners.
Mr.. Plummer in commenting on the
Influences behind this particular bill to
the Times, suggested that possibly the
fact that men who were formerly asso-
ciated with foreign steamship lines are
now in some of the departments of the
Shipping Board and might be RESPONSE
bile for this attempt to seize upon the
var as an excuse to secure this great
prize of our coasting trade--with the
result that our coasting fleets Of to-
day would soon follow the great ocean
fleets we had half a century ago.
Mr. Plummer will return to Wash
irgton before the hearings on this bill
are closed.

Mr. Plummer commented on the
feet that without any hearings hav-
ing been had before the Shipping
Board the solicitor of that Board had
come before the Congressional Com
mttee advocating this bill. as if it had
the support Of the Board AS soon as
members began asking him questions
which were suggested by practical
men he admitted that he was not ia
.miliar with the subject, and the chair
man of the committee stated that he
would have the Secretary of Commerce
come before them and give the infor
nation required.
The claim made for this bill is that
there are a lot OF foreign vessels which
could be used in our coastwise trade
and thus bring lower freight rates: but
when the solicitor was asked to men

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care
full what you use 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
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap. and heats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole

The Railway Association has made
arrangements for a certain specified
number of meals for the drafted men
at certain places. The outlay is con-
siderable and means should be taken
tC prevent the loss of these meals
through the well-meant and patriotic
offers of people along the way to
supply meals when such offers are
rot made so far in advance as to OBJ
viate the necessity for the railroad
company to supply meals. In normal
cases, therefore, the railroads should
receive meal tickets for a number of
meals equal to the number of men
travelling and they should not be re-
fused these meal tickets in cases
where volunteers have provided meals
at some immediate preceding sta
ton and at the last minute. To en-
courage the railroads to complete
these arrangements, they should be
protected against loss.
