Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
Injurious, as 1t dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use Is just plain

REFUGEES WELL CARED FOR.
Italians From Hun Invaded Territory
Housed In South.

Correspondence Associated PresS]
Taormina, Sicily, Jan. 16.-Fourteer
hundred refugees from the countr!
north of the Piave have found shelter
in this old Sicilian mountain town, de.
scrlbed by some Americans as the mos'
beautiful place in the world. The ho-
tells which cared for tourists before the
war have been thrown open to the ref
ugees. They have rooms generally by
families and club together for their
meals in much the same way that ltal-
ian immigrants make shift on the emf
grant steamers.
English and American residents
joined with the towns people in pro-
vlding clothing. The two problems are
food and employment. and representa- :
tives of the American Red Cross who
visited here left fund with the local
war committee TO purchase wool and
pay the refugee women for knittins
warm socks and gloves for Italian sol :
diers.
Five hundred refugees arrived az
midnight at the Giardini station, two
and a half miles below on the coast
line railroad. in the midst Of a tor
rental downpour. The feeblest and
eldest were brought up in carriages,
hundreds climbed the steep tootpath in
utter darkness and in fear OF the eerie
height to which they were taken. y

in the night barely clothed.
Many had walked continuously for

the train which took eight weary days
and nights to bring them here. 1t was
so packed that many stood up the en-
tire distance. Two little children sue
cumbed to the hardsh!ps on the jour-
ney. Many of the families have miss
ing members. Before reaching their
trains they endured almost cloudbursts
Of rain, the difficult crossing Of swollen
streams and sodden plains, with ever
the horror Of the pursuing Austrans.
During this time families became sep
arated, children lost their parents and
the few little treasures from their
homes were gradually dropped aside 10

Pound Of Meat Weekly.

After much cogitation over various
proposals, Baron Rhondda, the food
controller Of England has issued a
meat rationing order. which gives each
civilian approximately one pound OF
meat weekly. The system adopted Is
somewhat complex.
The meat card, available for twenty
weeks, provides four coupons weekly.
three of which entitle the holder to
purchase uncooked butchers meat, In
Guiding pork. Each coupon represents
the value OF FIVE pence (ten cents).
The fourth coupon entities the holder
to purchase bacon, ham, poultry, game,
rabbits and preserved or prepared
meats In an amount equivalent to five
ounces OF butchers beef.
The coupons can be used in restau-
rants. each half coupon emitting the
holder to one meat meal. The present
prices of meat vary from about a
shilling (25 cents) q pound for Inferior
grades to one shilling nine pence az
cents) for the best cuts. so that the
persons contented with inferior cuts
could obtain rather more than q pound
OF butchers meat for three coupons
OF total value OF Is pence Gao cents).
Children under ten are entitled to half
a ration.
1t IS understood that the present
meat ration in Germany Is about
three quarters OF a pound weekly.

Documentary proof that Nicholai
Lenine. Leon Trotzky and other lead
ing bolsheviki engineered their revolu-
tionary movement in Russia with Ger
man funds has been furnished to the
Petit Parisien by an eminent Russian
patriot, whose name is not divulged
out Of regard for his personal safety.
The first of these documents. which
Is dated June Is, 1917, was sent from
Geneva to NJ. F'urstenberg at Stock
holm as follows:
"Sir: l request you to take note that
on the demand of katz the sum Of
$4,000 francs (normally $16,50O) on the
syndicates account has been handed
over for the publication Maximalist
socialist pamphlets. Please acknowl-
edge telegram to Decker also the ar
rival of the pamphlets together with
the number and date OF receipt.

The second document refers to Max
ime Gorky and is signed by Scheide-
mann, the German socialist. 1t was
sent from Berlin on August Is, 1917. to
NJ. Olberg and reads:
The desire expressed by you, based
on your correspondence with Maxim
Gorky. responds entirely to the party's
intentions in agreement with persons

thpu our banker, NJ. NJ. Furstenberg. the
sum OF 10000 marks (normally $751;

"Olberg is the correspondent OF yor-

Norway's Complaints Not Wall Founded
The war trade board has received
Norway's reply to the proposals made
by this government for the exchange OF
commodities between the two countries,
which involve the rationing OF Nor
way by the United States. The reply
Is understood to be unsatisfactory al
tho the board has not passed upon It
at formal meeting. 1t was learned
today that an answer would be de-
livered to tho Chrlstian!a government
after the communication had been
carefully studied.
Surprise was expressed In some Of
fetal quarters by Norway's effort to
create the impression that the United
States was seeking to take an unfair
advantage OF her and to induce her
to compromise her neutrality. It was
believed to have been because such
an attitude on the part OF Norway was
anticipated that the American propos-
ais to the Norway government were
made public by the war trade board.
It Is known that the United States
will not accept the Norwegian govern
ment's statement and that il the i'm
piled uldmatum in 1t is maintained
the negotiations will come to an end. It
is not supposed in official circles here.

Paw. Is Per Cont Of Income.


An idea Of how hard the rich men are
hit by the new income and excess war
profits taxes was presented yesterday
by a banker who told of a friend whose
payments to the government reduced
his income to one-quarter Of what 1t
would have been in the absence OF the
war taxi measures. This taxpayer nat
urally has an income running into
several million dollars year, and be-
sides he Is interested in a great many
corporations in which he Is large
stockholder. BY computing the taxes
paid by the corporations on the basis
Of his ownership in the concerns plus
the Individual income and excess
profits has has to pay, this man figured
out that his payments to the govern
ment amounted to rs per cent. This 70

genius. It promotes to some extent
the suspicion that that gentleman is to
be the It Of 1914 to the close of the war
and after and that he is to be the con-
spicuous success Of. the world. 1t Is
getting ahead Of the game quite dis
lance to say this, but he Is one Of the
individuals of the time who is worth
watching.
Why Is this dispatch so important?
Because 1t Is unusual, because 1t goes
directly to the source of the financial
power that the secretary OF the treas
ury wants. because It announces
sharp change in program, but change
in the same direction as the course OF
events, and because 1t places the fnan-
cial institutions OF the United States
in the hollow OF the secretary's hand.
1t is the biggest ripping up of red tape
that has been seen in the United States
ever. Financial plans and propositions
especially those involving large sums
are commonly conveyed on the digni-
ty Of linen paper embellished with the
formalities of a government under
taking. That Is what we have had in
our two liberty loans, and the bonds
are not yet distributed. And patriot
ism inspired the click Of the telegraph
instruments that conveyed this dis
patch Of 400 words to 10000 people or
more. Who ever engaged in such
performance as this before? Nobody.
Therefore the secretary has done an
extra ordinary piece Of advertising.
