Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

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 null
SIZED coc1anut oil, for this is pure and
entirely greaseless. Its very cheap, and
beats the most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can get
this atany drug store, and a few ounces
will last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub il in, about teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abundance
OF rich, creamy lather, cleanses thor
oughly, and rinscs out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is soft,
fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and
easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle Of dust, dirt and
dandruH.

.U-poiTS Baked
BY AIR FIGHTERS
AirpIaneS are of Great Assist
anCe IN Finding Enemy
Submarines.
NECESSARY ALLY Of NAVY
Great Britain Sees Need Of folding
Command CT Air as Well as of
Sea-kir1raft Either Attack
or Summon Patrols.

Londou.-1le measure OF the sue
cess Of the a- submarine campaign Is
the safe crossing Of the Atlantic by a
million American troops.
There is very properly good deal
Of official r.ticeuce regarding the
methods by which submarines are d.
stroyed, bit il is an open secret that
the royal air force hus contributed
largely toward the defeat Of the u
boat campaign.
Just rs airplauc> have become an
essential auxiliary to the army So air.
craft have become an Indispensable
ally of the navy making 1t clear Jhat
ascendauey in the air in future viii be
as vital to Britain as her present as
cendaucy at sea.
AirshipS Of two main types, the
smaller known as the submarine scott
and the larGer MS the coast patrol
type. and syupMueS, are the CHIEF in
struments for dealing with submarines
from the air. The first business of all
aircraft or submarine offensive is To
lind the submarine.
See Submerged Boats.
From certain height in the air,
submerged U-boats are visible TO Oh
servers and their position is commune
Gated to the nearest naval patrol. The
work OF aircraft is By no means con
fined TO detecting the U-boats. They
have means of Immediately attacking
their prey without waiting for the ar
rival of the naval patrol.
There is the obvious means of drop
ping bombs. fully effective when the
submarine is caught on or just below
the surface. Modern antlsubmarine
dircraft are almost equally at home in
The air or on the water. Should the
U-bOat dive through the water, its pur-
suer can dive through the air and re-
lease depth charges, which have a con-
siderable range of action, and are much
feared by U-b0at commanders.
In claiming for the Il. A. r. large
share In winning the safe landing of
Americas first million the reservation
must be made that the range of air.
craft from their bases Is limited, but
their bases are not necessarily On land,
and sesplanes and submarine scouts
have accommodation on shipboard and
are carried to the area of their deep
sea patrols.
Where They Are Thickest
Again, il is naturally in home wa.
tiers and especially in the North sea
that submarines are thiCkest, outward
bound from Germany, so that aircraft
patrols are effective from home bases
over the sea zone most frequented by
U-boats.
Coast patrol airShips accompany
conveys through home waters "spot.
ting submarines, to be dealt with
either by themselves or By destroy
ers; and if the U-boat menace Is not
vet mastered 1t Is steadily and IN.
mistakably being brought under con.
troll.
Safe landing Of a million Americans
in France is big fact, the signlfi-
canoe Of which can hardly be missed
even in Germany, where, according to
neutral witnesses, scepticism has been
rapidly growing lately concerning the
possibilities Of the U-boat campaign.

orioin of Moon In Doubt.

Many theories of the origin of tho moon have been advanced. but all seeA, to present some difficulties. Our satellite furnishes us many url' solved problems. A belief in the meteoric. origin of the moon is now quite general. According to :sis be-
 ief the earth was surrounded in the early stages of its existence by a ring of sneteoric matter. The material forming the ring gradually gathered Into one lnass, our present moon. whose pitted face gives evidence of the bombardment 1t received from me teoric mat,scs within the ring. Accord Ing to this theory our satellite has al- ways been a dead world, cold and lifeless mass of meteoric rock. It haa never felt the pulse of life or under gone the mighty changes that have passed over its ruling planet. It has remained a cold and silent witness 70 vast evolutionary processes going cn upon a neighboring world such as t could never experience for tA self.

.tFresh Greens for tho carary.

Canaries are very fond Of lettdce celery tops and cther young and ten' der greens, as all birdlovers know. When the birdman tells us we must not give these things to our pets too frequently the temptation to go con. trary to advice Is strong, for we sym' pathize keenly. An accident showed me the way to gratify our pets without harm to them, as experience has proven. Some months since, a little birdseed was spilled on the earth in a large tub containing rubber plant, Soon these seeds spreuted, stad we hit upon the idea of removing the bottoE, Gom the cage and setting 1t over th= young sprouts. The joy the canaries found in their greens, and the conse- Quent discovery that the birds were really gaining in health and song con- vinced us that,a box of sprouting b;rd' seed was. the thing to keep on hand for them.-Exchange.
