N CLEWS'

The weekly letter Of Henry Clews is trimming over
with optimism. Being in close touch with all the great
money kings and centers as well as with all the great in
dusries Of the country, including agriculture, his opinion
is. looked upon by those in high authority as being abso-
lutely reliable and later facts almost Invariably prove his
reason it is heartening just now when the liberties of
the world are the stake of desperate and doubtful battle,
to read his calm review of conditions and be strengthened
by his cheerful optimism. His opinion of the ultimate
result is contained in a few short sentences, in fact in on
where he says: "The longer Germany delays submission
and the more damage she infiicts upon others the more
severe will be the terms of settlement, and the worse her
ultimate breakdown" Then he adds this: Count
Czernin's latest peace talk is merely camoufage intended
to conceal the enemy's growing anxiety for peace; te
best answer to which is the presidents call for additional
men and the announcement in Great Britain that the age
limit of army service had been raised" If you failed to
read this letter get yesterdays Journal and do it today
1t is cheering.

Praeoer denied being a spy or of pro-German proclivitles,
and That his last request was that he be given the Amer

victim of unreason. There are occasionally conditions
which make mob rule, or rather the rule OF the people
iIst;fobia and necessary. but they are few and far be-
tween. Under existing conditions there is no excuse for
mob violence. The law should be relied on, and while II
is sometimes exasperatingly slow, it is pretty sure IN the
long run. At any rate if it is slow its work can De cor r.

GIRLS! HAVE WAVY,
THICK, GLOSSY HAIR
FREEFRON DANDRUFF
Save Your Hair! Double Its
Beauty In a Few Moments
Try This!

If you care for heavy hair, that
glistens with beauty and is radiant
with life; has an Incompatible soft
ness and is fluffy and lustrous, try
Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it imme-
dfately dissolves every particle of
dandruff; you cannot have nice, heavy
healthy hair if you have dandruff.
This destructive scurf robs the hair of
its ~lustre, its strength and its very
life, and if not overcome it produces
a feverishness and itching of the scalp
the hair roots famish, loosen and die;
then the hair falls out fast.
If your hair has been neglected and
is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or too
oily, get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine at any drug store or toilet
counter for a few cents; apply a lit
tie as directed and ten minutes after
you will say this was the best invest
ment you ever made.
We sincerely believe, regardless Of
everything else advertised, that if you
desire soft, lustrous, beautiful hair
and lots of it-no dandruff-no itch
ing scalp and no more falling hair
you must use Knowlton's Danderine-

Wool Supply Will Be
Investigated by Baruch

Washington, April 11.-Wool is the
next Of the long line of necessaries to
come under the sharp eye of America Is
new industrial director general, Ber-
nard M. Baruch, chairman of the indus
tries board.
AS part of his sweeping overhauling
of the nations business rapidly being
revamped to fit war time needs, Baruch
will soon consider the question of wool
supply and prices. Intolerable conditions
are rapidly developing which will
throw unwarranted burden on civilian
populations. Army and navy demands
for wool, over sixty per cent of the
total product, are cutting disastrously
into civilian needs.
Prices are leaping while the supply
being rapidly sinking to the point
where shoddy is used heavily in wool
en- clothing.
Cotton manufacturers are here to
help Baruch shape his price fixing pol
icy on finished cotton goods. Leather
industries are expected to appear on the
docket shortly.
Following practical requisitioning of
wool looms by the qu%artermaster gen
eral last week, fixed prices on wool
goods are looked on as necessary if civ
ilians are to be protected from spec
ulators in the wool left after army
needs are met.
Officials declare the strain on the
wool supply for the next two or three
months will be far greater than origin
ally anticipated.

WAYS AND MANNER1sMs.

Gregory Polka, usually SO unrespon-
sive to women's charms, was forced
TO admit that Christine Wanderlust' s
many irresistible little ways had quite
conquered him.
The cunning little way, for instance,
in which she smaeked her lips before
beginning "a speak.
And her adorable htt'e way of wrink

And her appealing little way of say
ing "deah" for "dear' and "heah"
for ''hear'', etc.
And her charming little giggle.
Not to speak of her fascinating lit
tie way of blowing back the Grant
wisp of hair that insisted on straying
from her forehead.
So he married her.

It wasn't long before Gregory Polka
discovered maddening little mannerisms
about his wife that nearly drove him

The irritating little mannerism, for
instance, of smacking her lips before
beginning to speak.
And her stupid little mannerism of
wrinkling her nose like a rabbit to help
her think.

Councilman Ward would kill two birds with one stone
in the ordinance he intends introducing at the next meet
rich or poor, who is able would have to work, or at least
keep busy at something. 1t also provides that the chief
of police keep in touch with farmers and ascertain who
of them are in need of laborers. The proposed ordinance
and the suggestion as to the keeping track of the farm
ers, gives a hint as to how those found idling would be
