WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES AT
THE FRONT. August IL (Delayed).-
French cavalry is playing an impor-
tant part in the present advance. The
divisional squadrons are not only act
ing as dispatch bearers. but are ac-
tually scouting ahead of the infantry
during battle, reports of which. now
beginning to arrive, relate many de-
tails of the heroism of these cavalry
detachments.
One platoon. pushing ahead of the
infantry wave. encountered the enemy
fire. The lieutenant had his horse
wounded under him. The sergeant dis
mounted and remained beside his
disabled officer under a hail of bull
lets. helping him to disentangle him
self. In another platoon. cavalry
man having his horse shot from under
him quietly unstrapped his belong
ings from the saddle and carrying
them on his own back. returned quiet

Rode Through Barrage.

On another occasion the liaison be-
ing lost between the infantry and ara
tillery of a certain division. a cavalry
man volunteered to ride through the
barrage of machine gun bullets and
seek the artillery. He succeeded and
the liaison was instantly re-estab-
lished and the infantry continued its
progress.
Finally. platoon, reconnoitering
the enemy's line and meeting machine
gun fire. continued. nevertheless. to
dash ahead at a gallop into a little
wood. The lieutenant commanding
the platoon espied a German artillery
sergeant skulking away through the
underground and summoned him to
surrender. He captured him and also
three field pieces carefully hidden in
a ravine.

Johnny Tells About a Terrible
Monster.

On his way back to the corner where
were Sammy Jays temper cooled of.
And as his temper cooled he began
to see the funny side Of the mix-up.
SO that by the time he reached the
corner he was quite ready to laugh at
himself. Besides he was beginning
to itch with curiosity over the cause
of Johnny's queer performance in
leaving such a fine home as he and
Polly had SO long in the far corner
of the Old Orchard.
Johnny Chuck was still sitting on
his new doorstep and he wasn't in
good temper at all. In the first place
he hadn't anything to eat, as prob
ably You remember. You recall how
just as he had started out to look for
breakfast an automobile had come
along the dusty road on the other
side of the stone wall and had honked,
soaring Johnny almost out of his wits.
He was not yet over that scare. 1t
was because of this that he was still
sitting on his doorstep instead of eat
ing breakfast in the nearest clover
patch.
Johnny" cried Sammy. forgive
me for not recognizing you before.
You see, l didn't know you had
moved and didn't dream that such
a fat, lazy fellow as you have grown
to be would think. of doing such a
thing"
Huh" shifted Johnny Chuck.
so. when 1 saw you up here !
thought you were some one else" con-
tinued Sammy. What made you look
SO scared when you first came out?

Five of Six Crash to Earth

Inasmuch as in those quick Sec
onds all the machines engaged were
moving nearly $50 miles an hour, they
were soon~out of sight, but observers
on the other side of the wood saw
five of the six Fokkers crash. while
only the sixth got away. It was an
inspiring sight to see the victors
come back safely a few moments
later and pass above our heads, one
by one. AS they passed by the pilots
leaned out of the cockpit. waving
their arms to the cavalrymen, who
responded gayly. much as to say,

and, Eyes. we know il, old boy"
Since the first days of. this third

has been created between the cavalry
of the air and that of the earth.
chiefly due to the utilization for the

Careless Use of < 1 ( :.
 Soap Spoils the Hair

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 all<ali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle and ruins it.
 The best thing for steady use is just ordinary rnulsi6ed 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 teaspoonfuls will 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; dandruf 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 few ounces will supply every member of the family for months,

SENATOR THOMAS PRODS TOO hIGh
 U. s. IN SPEECH
Charges Secretary Daniels and Attorney General Gregory With "Much
 "Zea1."

Washington, Sept. 19.-Senator Thomas of Colorado made sharp at tack upon Secretary Daniels and At- tcrney General Gregory in the senate today, charging them with usurping the duties. of the secretary of the interior and with barring the pas sage of pending legislation looking to the development of government owned oil and gas lands.
 Responsibility for the present oil shortage and the necessity for the United States to depend upon the out put of Mexican wells to supply it's army was placed upon the govern ment by, Senator Thomas, who de- clared the development of the oil lands had been restricted ever since 1909. ,s,
 q believe that if the secretary of the, interior could have his way, if he were secretary of the interior in fact as swell as in name, this bill would have passed long ago." declared the senator, referring to the oil land leasing bill now deadlocked in con- ference. { If, he would insist upon the operation of his own department, it would be unnecessary for me to take m the 'senate's time." <.
 Senator Thomas declared the, bill is demanded to meet our domestic as we'll as our foreign consumption of oil.
 ''We are depending for our oil sup ply for the use of our own army and those of our allies on the oil wells of MeNico," he said. 'Never has there been such an exhibition of unfriendly attitude to the United States as dur ing the last six months.
 ''Mexico has placed every obstacle short of hostile attack. in our way in obtaining this oil supply, imposing heavy duties and frequently interfer- with contracts which has often serious ly embarrassed our armies"
