HIS EXPERIENCES
DIR. GEO. A. RENSVOLD RELATES
HIS EXPERIENCES
OVERSEAS.

In a letter to his parents, Mr.. and

Geo. A. Rensvold tells of his expert

The censorship on whereabouts has
been lifted and | can now tell you
something of my wanderings in
France
We landed in Brest April Is. From
there we went to Bricon near Chau-
mont in Haute-Marne. We train
ed there about a month, then went
to the Marine river front and our di-
vision which is the 3rd regular army,
was given the credit of stopping the
big Hun offensive early in June. We
were at Chateau Thierry in the fight
ing of July when we stopped anot her
attack and began the counter-offen-
sive. We crossed the Marine on pom
toon bridges July Is just outside of
Chateau Thierry. | could tell you
names of villages we took, but you
would probably not remember read
ing of them. We were relieved on
that front the last of July. Then we
spent nearly a month resting I'M a
village near Barbecue in the Mouse
district. From there we moved about
September / eastward and took part
in the drive on what was then the
st. Mihiel salient. We were in re-
serve there and SO little resistance
was met that We moved westward in
to the Verdun sector. We were west
of the Meuse river in the Argorine
forest and it was there in October
that we had our bloodiest expert
ences. September and October were
the toughest we had-lots of NOV
ing around in rain and mud, never
under a roof and the hardest kind of
fighting. About the last of October
we were relieved and again went
back near Barbecue for rest and re-
placement. We were just leaving for
the front again when the report came
in that the armistice was signed, a nd
we were not to go. Then we were
happy crowd. But about a week ! at

front and No Mans land, but this
time it was a quiet place. We T oil

Use Cocoanut Oil
 For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with.
 Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsifed cocoanut oil (which is pure and en- tirely greaseless) is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair.
 Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two tea spoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex- cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man age.
 You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months

WAR ARGUMENTS AND
 BATTLE WITH BOTTLES
Five Men Arrested After Fight in a
 West Side Saloon.

Arguments that had their start, it is understood, over discussion of where Russia stood in the war situ- ation, led the way to a battle of bot ties in the Jacobson saloon at 176 West Main street early Thursday ey- ening.
 Somebody telephoned to police head quarters and Sergeant A. c. Matthews dispatched Officers Diveto. Allen. and Ebbets to the battle front. Hostilities had ceased when the officers arrived, but overturned chairs around the sa- loon and Felix Goyette's cut and bat tered Lead bore witness to the strug- gle.
 Four men, Tony Goyette, Felix Co., yette. Frank Obarowsl1i, the bartender. and Arthur Davis, colored, were taken to police headquarters in the patrol wagon.
 All got bail after charges of intox- ication and breach of the peace had been entered against them. Later John Sax, who is related to the Goyette brothers, was arrested. It is claimed he was also in the fight in the sa- loon. There is another man who is being sought also. Felix Goyette had his head sewed up by Dr. Louis T. Cassidy by go- ing. to the doctors office after he se- cured mail.

BOAT LINE SOON
 TO BE IN OPERATION
Will Carry Passengers and Express to Submarine Base From Smiths Cove

Possibly by the end of next week the boat to carry passengers and ex- press from Smiths cove at Best View across the Thames river to the submarine base will be in operation. The service will start just as soon as it is possible to do so.
 It will all depend on whether the pile driver from the T. A. Scott com pany can get into the cove next week to drive spiles for the dock, said President R. W. Perkins of the Shore Line Electric Railway company on Thursday night.
 The passenger station at the south end of the trestle at Riverside grove is under construction now and will be ready before the dock is ready. The dock will be reached by a stairway leading down from the station.
 The boat that will be used on the line can negotiate the Central Yer mont bridge at the cove all right without any changes at the bridge, it is stated. There is clearance of over six feet at the bridge, even at high tide, and this will be ample to let the boat under at any time

Douglas Fairbanks Portrays Role Diff
 ferent from His Usual Line.

In MT. Fix-It, a five part Aircraft comedy drama, featuring that aero battle film star, Douglas Fairbanks, now showing at the Davis theatre, the star leaves his usual role of west erner and is seen in a parlor role and asa fighter in the slums. The picture is full of good humor and funny sit pations, drawing many hearty laughs from the large sized audiences which saw the production.
 Another feature on the bill is Pauline Stark in Until They Get Me. five part Triangle western drama, full of many thrills. The third chap ter of The Son of Democracy is shown featuring Benjamin Chapin in the role of Abraham Lincoln. The Cur rent Events film concludes the excel lent bill. The augmented orchestra which played for the super production Intolerance has been secured to play for the motion pictures during the re- mainder of the week. The playing cf the symphony orchestra is in itself a valuable feature of the program.

SURVEY AT sALsBERRYs.
Civil Engineer Gets Material for Ex-
 hibits at Possible Trial.

On Thursday morning civil ei.. gineer's survey of the Salsberry house in Preston, where Arthur SalsberrJ on May murdered William Kinney and seriously wounded Herman ] Chapman, was made by George F. Pitcher. Measurements of the house were taken and several places about the farm were photographed. An .l- terior view of the kitchen was als: taken.
 In looking about the place Nil. Pitcher discovered some faint writing on one of the gate posts. The inscrip- tion was: Good bye. Good luck. God bless you May never see you agai.l while living on earth
 Mrs. Salsberry claims it was written by her son some time ago and referre to a popular song. There have bee several theories advanced as to is meaning.
