STRIKE MOVEMENT FALLING
TO PIECES. PAPERS ASSERT
CBy Associated Press)


German newspapers generally esti
mate the number Of strikers at 100000
They all say that the disintegration
OF the movement is proceeding rapidly
The riots of yesterday are said to
have been due to the danger Of the
strikers on realizing that the move
ment was doomed to early failure.
The trades unions are declining to
pay out strike benefits. AS an indi
cation of the lack Of centralized direc-
big plants of Berlin were forced to
The governing board OF the Social
Democratic party announced yesterday
that 1t had not taken over the man
agement of the strike. The trades
unions through the general commits

the strike appears consequently to
have been orphaned. so IA. as these

mann. Friedrich Ebert and Herr Braun
Socialist leaders, is explained on the
ground that they are anxious to pre-
organization and rioting. While the
party as such indorses The political
demands regarding domestic affairs
which were made by the strikers, II
Is generally believed that it definitely
disapproves the present strike as an
instrument for forcing the govern
ment to meet these demands.
The Tageblatt warns Scheidemann
and Ebert against playing Trotzky's S
game and appeals to the Radical lead
ers to bring the outbreak to a con-
ciliatory conclusion, on account of
the effect abroad and for the sake Of
the future prospects for the internal
reforms championed by the reichstag
majority parties.
The official bulletin OF the National
Liberal party declares that the Berlin
strike leaders are playing into Trot
zky's hands. Most Of the newspapers
OF the reichstag majority parties con.
tinue their criticisms of the Socialists
The Germania says that by associating
themselves with the strike both sec
tions of the party have displayed very
bad tactics which might we'll have
consequences inconvenient to them
selves. The Freisinnigs Zeitung says
the progressive peoples party will
have nothing to do with the latest
acts of the Social Democrats, on whom
it throws full responsibility for all con-
sequences of the strike.

The UNITED Colonies

The phrase united colonies" was
used for a little while before the rev.
pulmonary war began and before the
phrase United States was adopted.
The second continental congress as
sembled at Philadelphia on May 10,
1775. Independence was in the air,
but the time was not ripe for action.
The colonies were united, but they
were not quite ready to call them
selves states. On June Z, congress
passed a resolution that Thursday,
July 20, next, be observed throughout
the twelve united colonies as a day Of
humiliation, fasting and prayer" The
resolution said twelve united colo
Mes" because Georgia was not rep
resented in that congress. A year
later congress declared the colonies
free and independent states"

Iris Bath Luxury of Japanese.

Each year on May s the japanese
public lighthouses furnish their guests
with an iris water bath. From of old
it is popularity believed that bathing
in water in which is immersed the
leaves and roots of the iris is eff
cacious gin preventing colds. When
placed in warm water the iris leaves
give off a volatile oil having an agree
able odor. This oil penetrates through
the glands of the skin of the bather
and stimulates circulation. The thin
film of oil left on the skin after the
bath prevents an excessive loss of heat.
Bathing for too long a fine is to be
avoided, however, as the great stimu-
lation brings on a feeling of drowsi-
ness.

He saw in the southern states thous-
ands and thousands of acres of land
titled and irrigated for the spring
planting of cotton over the increased
production of which the holders of the
plantations have gone wild, because of
the greatly increased demand and the
resultant high prices offered due to
the war.
Similarly the growers of alfalfa have
bent their every energy toward devel-
oping vast acreages hitherto unculti-
waited, in order to increase the alfalfa
production several hundred per cent
in consequence of the enhanced value
of the crop last year, which increased
in price from SIS to $32 a ton.

MOVIE ACTRESSES AND
g. TIL ER EAIRS

Did it ever occur to you that
every movie actress you have seen
has lovely hair, while the most
popular count their curls as their
chief beauty? In fact, many are
leading ladies just because of their
attractive looks. Inquiry among
them discloses the fact that they
bring out all the natural beauty of
their hair by careful shameooing,
not with any soap or makeshift, but
with a simple mixture by putting
teaspoonful Of Canthrox (which
they get from the druggist) in cup
of hot water and applying this in
stead Of soap This full cup Of
shampoo. liquid is enough SO it is
easy to apply it to all the hair in
stead of just the top of the head.
After its use, the hair dries rapidly
with uniform color. Dandruff, ex-
cess oil and dirt are dissolved and
entirely disappear. The hair is so
fluffy that it looks much heavier
than it is, its luster and softness are
delightful.

Standardizes Grade
OF Mill Corn Products

Changes in corn milling grades
affecting grits, cream, meal. corn
-four. and common meal, are an
nounced by Gurdon w. Wattles
federal food administrator for Ne.
braska.
The purpose of these changes are
to further standardize corn prod
uets so that the housewife. when
purchasing, may be sure that she is
getting the same grades under tie
same designations.
The new grades permit these
products to have a moisture con-
tent OF from l2A to 1874 per cent
while the fat content may range
from ~ to 24 per cent, instead
of being limited to ~ per cent
as formerly. In no case, however,
shall, the sum total of the two ex-
coed IS per cent.
In the past meals not stand
ardized have spoiled in transit
which has caused dissatisfaction
among housewives. who used corn
products as substitutes for wheat.
The food administration has
standardized in the same manner
