COCOANUT OIL MAKES
A SPLENDID SHAMPOO

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what
you wash 1t with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and is very harmful. Just
Slain mulsified cocoanut oil
(which is pure and entirely grease
less) is much better than the most
expensive soap or anything else
you can use for shampooing, as
this cant possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub 1t in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather. and
cleanses the hair and scaly thoro-
lily. The lather rinses out easily
and removes every particle OF
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and 1t leaves 1T fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
| oil at most any drug store. 1t is
very cheap, and a few ounces Ia
enough to last everyone in the
family for months.

Dear Miss Grey: would
like you to advise me. l am a
young married woman with
three children. Two or three
months ago / took my sister-in-
law to live with myself and my
husband. She was sick and had
baby of her own. l did the
cooking, washing and general
housework, until she got better.
When she regained her health
| thought she could do her own
cooking and washing for her
baby. When / told her SO, she
got mad, and her husband and
mine both sided in with her.
And my husband told me to get
out IL | didn't like 1t. Now,
Miss Grey, would you have got
ten out or stayed?
MRS. MN.
Your husband and his relatives
have been horribly unfair to you
Did they think you were the gen
eral drudge of the family, thai
they should object when you ask
ed your sister-in-law to do hei
share of the work?
1t isn't right for me to tell you
that you should leave your hus'
band because of your children
but I do think he has treated YOU
most unfairly, and that he. owes
you abject apology. For him t.

simply asking that which wa'
due you, was q caddish, unmanly
disloyal thing to do.

TrOtSky'S Statement
written for the United Press Assn.

<AA"'AA'J
Leon Trotsky's remarkable statement. to the
United Press on Russia's foreign relations shows
that the bolsheviki government believes 1t Is inter-
nationally at bay, struggling for its own ideals OF
extreme democracy against world of enemies
To help Russia at this time, it is primarily neces
sary to know the Russian governments point Oh
view Trotsky has now supplied 1T.
He is wrong about Americas reasons Tor BENG III
the war; but America too has been wrong about the
character of the bolshevik leaders. America saw
the mistake first the bosheviki have not yet reaz
ed theirs
Trotskv's vehement denunciation of the western
democraces reveals the nervous tremors and snarl-
inc offensive of wounded animal fighting Tor It's
life against the pack. Trotsky shows that Russia
thinks it has been stabbed by its democratic ales'
for their own benefit. The news cannot have pene-
trated Russia that the bosheviki are winning
American opinion to their side by the highest test
of all-the test of results.
Trotsky's open diplomacy must be understood
anew 1t would be catastrophe if the old western
spirit of democracy arising in the east were to be-
come permanently antagonistic. There is immedi-
ate work here for western craftsmanship.

TEACHING AMERICANISM

 Very wisely the board of education of New Yorl City has decided to exclude German, and all other foreign languages from the elementary schools Ger will be taught in the high schools along witf French This is proper, for the desirabty of learn ing German has not been affected by the It is great language and will continue. Aboishine German from high schools, done, for instance at Los Angeles, is silly Germany will not be silly to abolish the teaching of English.
 But teaching German any other foreign Ian guage in the primary schools, is different matter New York, Chicago and other large centers poly gottic cities The New York World is authority foi the statement that most of the children in that city descendants of foreign.born residents, and the great educational difficulties grows out of the fac that many of the pupils be taught the Eng fish language before they be taught anything else To compicate this instruction with instruction ir other languages hampers the most important work o primary schools
 With the teaching of English there should be nc hand in hand the teaching of Americanism and teacher should be employed who is not fully compe tent to teach Amercanism, and what applies to New York City applies to every other city in the United States.

 The returns announced by the Red Cross officials from the recent Red Cross Christmas drive show that Alaska has won her place in the sun by the won derfu record which set by the workers Tn tnls campaign To many people living in the States and who unfamiliar with the character Of Alaskans the wonderful results achieved will be somewhat ill the nature of a mystery, but those who do know Alaskans it will be than the natural order of things.
 The helping hand principle of the Red Cross 50 cety is part of the creed of all Aaskans which is lived up to any and all occasions. It therefore came as second for them to dig down for the "wherewithal" to make themselves eligible for mem bershp in the organization of mercy.
 The drive officials in all parts of Alaska deserve great credit their successful campaign When the idea first preached there possibly some doubt as to it's success, but any pessmism encountered on carry it through
 The great success of the drive locally was duo in
 large to the work of the children, and the lists turned in by them made by personal ef forts and presentations To all of them as well the campaign managers. great praise is due.

MALONEY ON EIGHT HOUR

The Nenane News in an editorial refers to tt eight-hour and the opinion of William Maloney, Te ritorial Mines inspector, as follows
 Territorial Mine Inspector William Maloney declares that the development of the Territory will receive a teremendous setback if the law is enforced, owing to the shortage of labor which will be created
 We know little about the fishing industry beyond the fact that large numbers of foreign laborers imported annually by the fish com panies They not part of Alaska and the money they receive does not benefit Alaska, for the that they do not receive it until they have returned to the States at the close of each season If the eight-hour law is enforced, it probably will be necessary for the fish panies to import of the foreigners each and the wages likely will be reduced the products of the canneries advanced in price. But in any case, the problem, it. is one for the government to deal with rather than Alaska, since it does not working conditions among Northerners.
 With the mining industry, it is entirely diff ferent The men who work in the mines the who chiefly responsible for the enactment of the eighthour law. They voted for it at the polls and it is generally admitted that eight hours is quite sufficiently long per :, iod of labor for men engaged in that ardous industry In view of the fact that these men who have played such important part in the development of the Territory finally sue ceeded in securing the passage of law de- signed for their particular benefit it is not good logic for our mine inspector to argue that the enforcement of the law will cause shortage of labor It is easier to believe that a shortage of labor will result if the law is not enforced for comparatively few of miners will con tinue to work ten hours. in Alaska, when they can find eighthour jobs anywhere in the States To keep them in the country it will be neces sary to improve working conditions by making the hours Of labor more attractive and the pay ment of wages more certain

THE LONG ROAD.

I've banged about the world a bit Since I've been roamin' free; Most every sort of trail I've hit, By mountain, plain or sea. I've bummed it south and east and
 west,
 And northWard now and then, Though that cold climate ain't the
 best
 For rovin' gentlemen. I've heard them "tinkly temple bells That ring in Mandalay; know the sights and sounds and
 smells
 Of Mississippi Bay. Eve been in "silken Samarkand," I've beached in Borneo, I've baked on old Sahara 8 sand, And starved in Buffalo. Yet there is places I ain't seen, And so, until l do, I'll hit the trail with ardor keen, Like I'm accustomed to; And when I've finished up the job And stopped at every shore, I'll cock my hat upon my knob And wander round some more.
