SHIPS, MORE SHIPS,
STILL MORE SHIPS
SAYS ARCHBISHOP

New York, March In appealing
today to the New York Chamber Of
Commerce to use all its resources to
help Great Britain win the war, the
Most Rev. Cosmo Gordon Lang, arch
bishop Of York, expressed the conyic-
ton that inevitable occasions in which
it may appear that there is some diff
ference of outlook between our country
and yours would not be allowed TO
stand in the way.
Gentlemen" he said, you will not
suppose for moment that I am here
in the guise Of n supplicant either for
sympathy or for help. Our old country
has many abuses. 4 chimney that has
smoked SO long must needs have some
SCOT within if. But | know that the
old country with all it's difficulties IS
still heart and mind strong and reso-
lutte and it is not as a suppliant, but
rather as comrade, who, because he
is fighting as strong as he can, wants
the grasp of a hand stronger and fresh
en- than his own, that | would ask You
to do everything you can with your
resources to hasten and speed the help
that you can give to us at this presen.
time.
you will. I am sure never allow In
evitable occasions in which it may ap-
pear that there is some difference of
outlook between our country in Eu-
rope and yours to affect our cordially
or the confidence. We will stand
shoulder to shoulder in this business
to the very end. 1t would be idle to
disguise the fact that the cry which
comes to us is the same-ships, more
! ships, and still more ships"

KENT'S HILL NOTES

In one of the most exciting games
seen at Kent,s Hill this season. the
Blue team captained by Miss Chase
outplayed the Black team lead by Miss
Brown and defeated them 6-2. Miss
Brann of the Blacks was by far the
best player on the floor and her fine
exhibition of skillful dribbling and fast
work in shooting were the cause IF
much favorable comment from the
SPECTATORS. Miss Chase and Miss Dow
worked together to splendid advantage
and the combination kept the bali
shooting towards their basket repeated
" by most excellent teamwork. Misses
Tihbetts and Marston were most effec-
tive guards.
The game Wednesday night was a
much better exhibition OF basketball
than the first contest in which the
Black Team were victors. Some OF the
girls have developed the passing game
in the interim between the two games
and this makes a better contest 10
watch. Very few fouls were called last
evening. all of the holding being elimi-
mated through careful coaching. Inc
SPECTATORS who expected rather cruoe
basketball were agreeably surprised to
find the girls quite improved in their
work. The small score was due largely
to effective guarding rather than ina
bility to shoot baskets. Miss Brann
was high point winner but unfortunate
lv she tossed one Of her baskets
through the wrong circle
Much interest will center in the ruO-
her contest to be played OFT between

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. which Is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp ana
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for 1t 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 1t in, about a teaspoonfuf is all
that is required. 1t makes an album
