JOSEPHUS DANIELS'S NAVIGATION
New York World !


 Gratifying the unanimous report Of the Naval Affairs Committee of the House must be to the Amer ican people it is vindication of Secretary Daniels almost beyond precedent.
 Few men in public life have been more merci- lessly assailed. From the beginning of the first Will son Administration became a habit of critics and testers make light of the new Secretary For years he the butt of vaudeville wits, and elements ln the naval service itself ves with the end men ln holding him up to ridicule.
 Eventually this sort of thing reacted upon the navy and fortunately for all concerned, there were officers of distinction who recognized the injustice oi it and by their influence called halt. There IS no exaggeration in the statement that as regards the navy what a great committee of the House calls q triumph of preparedness and efficiency is due in no small degree to the ability, industry and democracy of Josephus Daniels.
 Most of those who persist in their detraction of him and the powerful of the Nation which he controls of the class which for partisan or worse is attempting to dscredit Secretary Ba ker and every national agency in war.

The esteemed Dispatch says Joseph E. Davies had the sympathy of the La Toilette proGerman in the recent Wisconsin election. The facts are just the contrary The Democratic candidate was the partiu lar antipathy of the La Toilette pro-Germans. The most radical of them supported Victor Berger and the others were for Lenroot rather than Davies While Davies was defeated the plurality against him was so small that it indicates if anything at all decided swing in popular sentiment towards the Demo cratic party.

There is question of the right of Congressmen-and others tooto criti else the National Administration. Nor must it be constructive criticism some say True, it may not be beous, yet of aid and comfort to the public enemy. The critic is responsible in such instances What the Washington statesmen seem to be engaged in is quarrel entirely outside the domain sketched One group appears to harbor the belief that, having the right, it is the duty of the members of the oppo stion party constantly to urge objection to the actions and policies of the government On the other side the
 friends of the Administration judging from the record convinced that their duty lies in mpugning the motives of all who disagree with their leadership. As result of this fundamental dispute there is much noise and little sench where there should be quiet action and sweetness To those who suffer thereby the consoling thought that the hectic debaters might be doing something really As it is, they only harmless nusances.

Diagnosis. The physician had examined the patient carefully.
 Well, sir" announced the phy- sician, your condition is the re suit of lack of exercise and fresh air. You should get up early in the morning and take long drives and alternates these with brisk little walks and short runs. You should get the early morning air before it is contaminated by the activities of the city. Don't do your driving in a luxurious automobile. A horse drawn vehicle would be better, as the jolting will make your liver ac- tive. If you follow these instruc- tions you will soon be all right By the way, what is your occupation?"

WHY SOCIETY WOMEN WASH
THEIR OWN HAIR.

They do. not because It is . fad,
but because they wish to obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and be
sure they are not using anything
harmful They have found that in
washing the hair 1t Is never wise to
use q makeshift, but Is always ad-
visable to use a preparation made for
shampooing only: Many of our
friends say they get the best results
from a simple homemade Canthrox
mixture. You can use this at Q cost
of about 8 cents a shampoo by get
ting some Canthrox from your drug
gist and dissolving q teaspoonful in a
cup Of hot water. This makes enough
shampoo liquid to apply to all the
hair instead OF Just the top Of the
head. as with most preparations
Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear In the
rinsing water. Your hair will be so
fluffy that 1t will look much heavier
than It is. Its luster and softness
win also delight you-Adw
