Hun Planes for Museums.
CRy United Press.
MEJ,ROITRNE Aug 6-(By

MELBOURNE, Aug. 6.-(By mail.)
The Australian government has
planned the establishment of war
museums in Australia after the war
for the exhibition of trophies and
relics Among these are to figure
enemy airplanes which are captured
without being totally destroyed by the
Australian flying corps.
Such wrecked machines, are of
course thoroughly inspected by the
technical department Of the royal air
force, for examination Of German de-
vices, and German adaptation of Brit
ish devices. They are eventually
handed over to the Australian govern
ment, to take their place along with
other trophies won by the Australian
force.
They will be permanent memorials
of Australian prowess in the war, and
memorials, too, of a period of air
plane construction to which 1t is like
ly that young Australia will look back
very much as we look back today on
the early models of the steam engine.

Hair Often Ruined
BY Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully, If
you want to keep your hair looking its
best. Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alblali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle.
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use Is Just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two tcaspoonfuis viii cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
in. It makes an abundance OF rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get r1uIsifed cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, its very cheap, and few
ounces will supply every member of the
family for months.

little town of Lorraine, very near the

the result Of the Boches' work when
they invaded this area In 1914 and
1916. Our place was a store room,

We went out to pick out house
among those in ruins for new home.
Most all of the houses were battered
and many had holes in them. We
finally chose one which had not been
used since the war started, except
for stable. 1t had big loft and
the roof leaked. 1t was terribly dirty.

do with 1t.
Next day we came back, and the
officers assigned US details to clean
up the place. 1t was big Job to

Not canes, but swagger sticks.
He may not have the "foxiest buds,
his shoes may be unpolishable, and
his hat hasn't the snap" that's in a

boy from being the dude OF the army,
If he SO desires.
The doughboys never took to canes,
They were monopolized by aviators
and ambulance drivers in Europe.
Swagger sticks are different. They

enough to dress and see him, the
