Why Society Women
Wash Their Own Hair

They do, not because It Is a fad. but
because they wish to obtain the great
est possible hair beauty and be sure
they are not using anything harmful.
They have found that in washing the
hair it is never wise TO use a make
shift, but is always advisable to use
a preparation made for shampooine
only. Many Of our friends say they
get the best results from a simple
homemade C9nthrox mixture. You can
use this at a cost Of about three cents
a shampoo by getting some Canthrox
from your druggist and dissolvlng
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 pre-
paratiohs. Dandruff, excess oil and
dirt are dissolved and entirely disap-
pear in the rlnsing water. Your hair
will be so fluffy that 4 will look much
heavier than it is. Its lustre and soft
ness will also delight you.

GERMAN INTRIGUE FAILS.
No Longer Able to Deceive People in
Latin America,

George Rothwell Brown in Washing
ton Postl.
German intrigue in nearly all of
Latin America is being surely under
mined under the steady influence Of
American friendship and an increas-
ing trade between the two continents
that is uniting the United States and
the southern nations with commercial
bonds stronger than propaganda. Teu-
ton intrigues are collapsing under the
weight Of their own falsehoods, which
the people Of South and Central
America are now seeing exposed daily.
Reports have reached Washington
OF most gratifying nature showing
the healthful growth in the neighbour
ing republics or a much more whole
some public spirit. This applies not
only to governments but to the people
themselves.
1t is not true with respect to all OF
Latin America, for in Mexico especial
ly and in the Argentine republic and
In Chile, where German intrigue is
making its last stand in South America.
the Teutonic influence is still strong.
Public opinion in the Latin coun-
tries has become enlightened and Ger
man propaganda is not making the
Roadway it did formerly. South and
Central Americans have penetrated the
deliberate fake in all of Germany's
efforts to prejudice the interests Of the
United States.
Most Of these falsehoods, ridiculous
as they appeared in this country, were
at first believed by the Latins. Ger
man money diligently falsified news,
and in some important cities supplied
to newspapers supplements reeking
with propaganda.
Stories were circulated about negro
uprisings in the United States and OF
revolutions In New England. II was
reported that the battleship Texas had
been sunk. and that German submar-
ines had the American feet bottled VI

In the Hudson. German victories and
American defeats were exploited.
The people for whom they were in
tended have ut last realized that none
of these things has materialized. The
reaction against all this nonsense has
started and public sentiment Ia swing
ing strongly toward the United States.
No counter propaganda in Latin
America has been conducted by the
United states except that certain
documents and papers bearing upon
American participation in the war have
been translated into Spanish, and
widely circulated in South and Central
Amerca.
The creation OF better relations be-
tween the two countries has been
brought about thru the regular consti-
tuted channels Of communication eN-
esting between governments.
There is an evident desire on the
part of this government to avoid do
ing anything that could be construed
as unfriendly to neutrals.
German propaganda in the few neu-
trail countries is endeavorine to arouse
sentiment against the United States
by the circulation OF reports that,
WASHINGTON is exerting pressure. 1t
is not succeeding in the face OF facts
that the Latin Americans are able to
see for themselves.
That the United States is maintain
ing a fair and clean policy is shown
by the pains taken by the war trades
board with respect to Latin American
firms put on the black list" under the
trading with the enemy act;
Where protests in behalf of certain
firms so listed have been lodged, an
of each case has been
made, and upon the presentation OF
evidence various firms have been taxi
EN- from the list.
This has been accomplished in some
instances by the purging Of these firms
Of their German connections and affili-
atoms. incidentally. II is apparent
that in this way the German CONNER
,ial hold upon Latin America has been
still further weakened. 4

prisoners are complaining Of the in
efficiency Of their junior officegss who

majority Of the professional Junior
officers still Al for service, had been
transferred TO the depots and instruc-
ton camps IN the Interior to train the
boys OF the 1919 and 1910. classes now
called for service. These vacancies in
the ranks were filed by youths from
the universities and by the sons Of
merchants and manufacturers.
The number Of officers also has
been reduced. At the beginning Of
hostilities each company OF German
infantry had FIVE, the captain and four
l:eutenants or second lieutenants. Early
in the war the creation Of new ma
chine gun, trench mortar. gas and
grenadier officers from the infantry
battalions brought the number attach
ed to each company down to only
three
Owing to the frequent absence Of
officers on furlough or FOR the purpose
of following some special instruction
course, there are often only two Off
GERS, sometimes one, on duty with a
company, even when it is holding the
front line trenches.
Among the German prisoners taken
in recent battles on the French front
the number OF active officers is very
small Battalion commanders and the
commanders Of companies are nearly
always reserve officers. The chiefs
of sections are sergeant.maJor-lieu
tenants, who bear the insignia OF Off
GERS on their shoulder straps but wear
the non commissioned officers collar
and hold their rank only for the dur
alton Of the war. Since the end Of 1916,
however. simple sergeants are often In
command of platoons. 4.
The reason given by the prisoners
for the creation Of so many temporary
ranks Is that the regular officers OF the
German army are determined to main
tain after the war. the military caste
which has 50 long existed in Germany,

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
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 teaspoonful 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. Be-
sides, It l1osens and takes out every
particle of dust, dirt and dandruff.
