GIGANTIC BATTLE
IN WEST ENTERS
SECOND MONTH

The greatest battle OF all time
entered its second month at dawn
today.
Hindenburg started for Paris. via
AmienB, early on the morning OF
March 81. He is stalled ten miles
east OF Amiens, and more than eighty
hve miles from the French capital
The greatest advance made by him
in this Picardy drive was a little
more than thirty-five miles.
Baked in his march on Paris, the
German commander started for the
channel ports. via Hazebrouck. on
April Q. He is blocked four miles
east OF Hazebrouck, and more than
TWENTY-FIVE miles from Dunkirk. the
nearest port His farthest advance
in this Flanders thrust has been about
twelve miles.
Hoped to Split Armies.
Hindenburgs main objective, Of
course. was TO drive a wedge be-
tween the British and French arm.
les. rolling the former back upon
the North Sea. There he intended
TO annihIlate It at his leisure. after
which he would Robble up the French
army. with whatever other allied
forces chsnced to be south OF the
Somme But he bOasied he would be
in Paris by April Just three weeks
ago.
Aside from the murderous casual
ties inflicted on the Germans and the
definite checking OF the two greatest
military assaults In history. the
greatest advantage accruing to the
allies as result OF Hindenburg's 5
drive has been the coordination OF
strategy under General FOch.
Foch was appointed commander
in-chiet OF the allied forces in
France on March IS. Even before
this was officially announced Cen
eral Pershing visited Foch at the
front and placed the entire Ameri,
can expeditionary force at his dis
posal. The American troops began
to move toward Picardy three days
later. The frst announcement of
their appearance on the British
front was made April 10.
The battle front has gradually been
extended uOTthwsrd until ii has in
cluded the southern portion OF the
Belgian lines, just north OF DiNmude.

the fascinating new science of
psyche analysis, which holds some
interesting explanations of our Vari-
Gus states of mind. According to
these authorities our doubts and
fears all lie in the subconscious or
unconscious part of our minds, that
vast area of which we know so very
little.
One of these writers states that,
''all of the natural and uncontrolled
cravings of the unconscious are in
fantile.''
intellectual sloth," he says, ''is
tho characteristic of by far the
greatest majority of even the So
called cultivated people, and hav-
ing accomplished a few hours of
mental work they think that they
are tired out that is will injure
their brains to work constantly,
and so on, all these generalities be-
ing pretexts furnished by the un-
known Titan within them. But
the Titan within us must be har-
messed, and he will work for us
and with us as does the horse"
On this theory it was "Infantile

Therefore, it made dreadful rue
tions, and did everything to pre-
vent me undertaking anything
new. But by going on working

whether l had a strong impulse to
write or an equally strong one to

picayune doubts and fears are go

Thereafter, whenever my pet,

his favorite whine, You can't do

Immediately mentally whack him
over the head and say: "Oh. shut

The result is, that 1 am now per-

Hotels VS.. Housewives
Woman Traveller Finds HOstelries
Are Helping More in Meatless
and WheatIess Days.

MY trip East proved on" thing to
me and that is, that the hotels and
public eating places are doing more
systematic food saving than we
hcusekeepers are accomplishing"
She had come from the Middle West
and it was her first visit to the East
ern cities.
'Why l was astounded." she con-
tinued, ito find such patriotic coop
Grafton in every hotel we were in.
And from travellers who had been out
through the Vest" she went on, Il
learned that the same thing is true
in all the big hotels clear to the
coast. You see l have never known
much of hotel life. I've never travel
ed, to speak of. and when | go to the
city to shop it is only for the day and
| have no occasion to stay at a hotel
But | have been helping in this food
saving campaign at home and l feel
like going back and starting a regu-
lar crusade among the housewives TO
urge a mere definite and systematic
program"
And she was right. The reason the
saving IN hotels and public eating
places stands out in such amazing
figures is not only because these
places are dealing in such quantities
of foodstuffs but because they have
set for themselves definite programs
for the definite saving of definite
foods. That is the real secret.
The housewife. on the contrary, has
too often begun her saving in desul-
tory way

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 sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie, and is very harmful. Just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil (Which Is pure
and entirely greaseless), 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
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 particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and it
leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy
and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified 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.-Advertise

|Life'sProblems
Are Discussed

I get many letters from discour-
aged young people. Letters that be-
gin this way; 1 quote from some
before me:
Il am a lonely, disheartened girl
years old and very unhappy" L am
despairing. l may live to be an old
woman and l do not see how L can
bear my life" And here is a letter
from a young man: II am miserable,
because l seem to be incurably dis
contented. Everything annoys me
and nothing ever pleases or salts
fies me. And L want to know how
can overcome this"
The only trouble with all of you
is, that you haven't yet got your sec
ond wind. You've lost your nerve
and your spirit. Your feet are nag
ging, and you think this state CT
mind is eternal when it is merely a
temporary phase. You'll get your
second wind presently and be able
to go on indefinitely.
You are all seeking something,
the bluebird of happiness. Every
one i'll the world is We wouldn't
| be alive if we were not. We all OF
us want those particular things, that
we believe will beautify our lives and
| fill us with an abiding content. And
we all return to find that our search
might have begun and ended al
I home.
When we get the things we seek
| they Immediately become common-
| places, and again we begin to grasp
at that which is Just out of reach
But no matter how varying anC
various our needs and demands ma!
be, we all want happiness.

is to get it. Here, let us take the

The engineer understood the rea-
son. He was an employe of Mac

him. Even though Gordon intended
only to right a wrong, it was better
that Paget should not be a party to
it. Reluctantly Peter went home.
Gordon turned to Strong. II owe
you a lot already. There's 40 need
for you to run a risk of getting into
trouble for me. If things break

Gordon shrugged his shoulders
"All right. Might as we'll play bal
