Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared sham
poos 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 it is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about a tea
spoonful is all that is required. 1t
makes an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, cleanses thoroughly, and
rinses out easily. The hair dries
quickly and evenly. and is soft,
fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy,
and easy to handle. Besides, it loos-
ems and takes out every particle of
dust, dirt and dandruff.

After recounting his enlistment in
the r. +. c. in Canada, May, 1917. and
his transfer to France via England for
active duty, Lieutenant O'Brien tells
of bringing down two German air
planes and of his last flight, in which
he was brought down, wounded, be-
hind the German lines.
After recuperating he was sent to
an officers prison camp at Courtrai.
There he planned his escape, and by
great sacrifice saved two daily rations
of bread. He also cleverly conflscated
a map of Germany. Just half an
hour later he was on a train for a
prison camp in Gedmany. On the
train, deciding it was his last chance
for liberty. he opened a window and
jumped while the train was going
thirty miles an hour. before his guard
realized what he was contemplating.
Although badly bruised and suffer-
ing from the reopening of his wound,
he was sound of limb and free. For
nine days he crawled through Ger

"Blue Devils" Return to France
The eighty-four battle-scarred vet
erans, members of an Army which
has never known defeat and represen-
tatives Of a people who would rather
die than not be free, who came to this
country a few weeks ago in order that
we might see with our own eyes the
kind of men with whom the soldiers of
this country are fighting side by side,
and who made a tour of the United
States, booming the Third Liberty
Loan, this week said farewell to the
Capital and set out on the first lap
on the return journey to France. When
bidding these French soldiers, known
as the Blue Devils" goodbye, Sec
retary Baker announced that upon
their return to the homeland they
would find more than 100000 Amer
lean soldiers there fighting with their
people in a common cause. The Amer
leans stationed on the extreme wings
of the sixty mile line from Ponta
Mausson to the now famous Chateau
Thierry have, during the past two
weeks, served deadly warnings on the
foe of what they can do. The Yankees
scored the first large scale success
with the capture of Cantigny north
west of Chateau Thierry, and on the
Marine itself have leaped from VIC
tory to victory, building wall of
bayonets, artillery and valour which
are thwarting German hopes that
were limitless last month but are
dwindling now hopes of crushing
France and debating peace terms in
Paris.
Flag Day
June fourteenth, the one hundred
and fifty-frst anniversary of the
adoption of our flag, was observed
with the greatest solemnity by every
one in the National Capital from Pres
ident Wilson to the smallest school
| boy and girl. During the patriotic
exercises which were held beneath
the Washington Monument, Lieuten-
ant Edgerton of the Aeroplane Mail
Service circulated overhead and drop
ped tiny American flags on the big
| crowd assembled. John Mccormick,
the worlds sweet singer, celebrated
his thirty-fourth birthday by coming
to Washington and singing to rec
ord crowd to swell the War Service
funds. McCormick's matchless voice
has already contributed $1O9, 100000
to the Red Cross, Y. NJ. C. A. and X.

Coastwise Shipping To Be Conveyed
The German submarine situation
this week has taken a more annoying
turn than ever. Two more ships are
reported to have been destroyed off
the Virginia capes, bringing the to-
tai up to eighteen vessels destroyed
AS a result of the U-boat raids off
the Atlantic coast, the Navy Depart
ment announces that all coastwise
shipping will be conveyed.
