The new battle line is more than

fighting is in three distinct centers-
one against the north flank toward
Arras; the second astride the Somme,
against the center; the third. against

HAIR OFTEN RUINED
BY WASHING WITH SOAP

Soap should be used very care
fully, il you want to keep your
hair looking its best. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain
too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
ruins 1t.
The best thing for steady use Is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut
oil (Which is pure and greaseless) 1.
and is better than the most expen-
sive soap or anything else you can
use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thoroly.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub 1t in. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle Of dust. dirt, dan
druff and excessive oil. The hair
drives quickly and evenly. and 1t
leaves the scalp soft. and the hair
fine and silky. bright, lustrous,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap. and q few ounces wfll sup
ply every member Of the family
for months.

N"The water should remain just
below boiling.
In most planes, aviators do not
attempt to rise more than 1000
or 5000 feet at a time. II they
do. the water boils. After the

however, it is possible to reach ex-
treme heights quickly and to
maintain high speeds at those al
titudes. I believe 1t entirely pos
sible for the Liberty to work ef-
ficiently at 10000 feet.

1--WE are preparing for our avla-
tors to do much of their flying at
extreme attitudes, and our men
are being provided with special
respirators and clothing to enable
them to remain up at such
heights.
with the Liberty radiation sys-
tenn and provision for special gas
mixtures at those heights, and
respirators and electrically heated
clothing for the aviators, we will
be able to carry the war higher
into the air than any other army.
The current for the electrically
heated clothing. 1t may be said,
is provided by specially designed
generator which operates from a
fan which is driven by the speed
of the plane itself.
