Alkali in Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair look
ing its best. Most soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much
alkali. 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 anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. 1t 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 mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy. it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
her of the family for months.

ed only with rifles and with few
machine guns, they poured scythe-
like streams of bullets into the
enemy at several different times until
the weapons were so hot as to be
useless.
This handful of American soldiers,
who were not hardened to such ter
rife slaughter were sickened by the
shambles they created, but fought
furiously for several days, helping
TO hold the enemy all the way from
St. Quentin to the vicinity of Noyon.
These were the Americans men,
toned at the time in the official COM
muniques, but these details of their
exploits it has only now been pos
sible to obtain.
When the German attack began
the Americans were working in the
rear lines with the Canadians, under
Canadian command. They quickly
threw down their tools and seized
the weapons with which they had
been armed for some months and
formed themselves into fighting
unit. The Germans came on and
finally reached the positions where
the Americans were waiting.
The exact numbers of the en-
gineers cannot be given, but they
were comparatively small. They had
no intention of retreating, however,
and were bent upon killing all the
Germans possible.
Tore Gaps in Lines
AS the first gray enemy advanced,
I,a them
until they were within certain range;
then opened fire. pouring in storm
of bullets. Gaps appeared in the ad-
vancing lines at many places, some
of them large, where the machine
guns had chewed through. Still the
German waves came on, without
firing a single shot-just advancing.
The Americans, were unable to un-
derstand these tactics, but, neverthe-
less, were certain that it was a ques-
ton of slaughtering the enemy or
being themselves smothered under
the advance. BY this time their
wea pons were so hot that they could
not be used effectively and the
enemy was close. so that the en-
gineers retired fighting. took up an
other position; then turned and be-
gan operations again. A British Of
ficer who witnessed the engagement
is reported to have said:
They held on by their teeth un-
til the last moment, inflicting ter
rife casualties on the enemy. Then
they moved back and waited for the
Germans. and repeated the perform.
ance."
BY the time the engineers had
reached a place somewhere near
Noyon they were nearly exhausted
and almost without equipment.
There they were given a chance to
rest and re-equip. According to all
reports they We're entitled to it. for
certainly they gave the Germans a
generous sample of what the enemy
is to expect from the American
Army.

CUT TDOWN HUNS
IN BIG BATTLE
With Canadians They Tore
Huge Gaps in Ger
man Line
BY Associated Press

With the American Army in
france, Monday. April s.-American
railway engineers who helped to
stem the tide of the onrushing Ger
mans during the opening days of the
battle now in progress fought shoul-
der, to shoulder with Canadian en-
sineers in carrying. out their task.
They held their ground stubbornly
and only retired to previously pre-
pared positions when forced to do
so and inflicted casualties by the
thousands upon the Germans as they
advanced in close formation, in one
wave ten men deep and 100 yards
apart.
The Americans, with the Cana
dians, had all the ammunition they
needed. and, although they were un-
supported by the artillery and arm
