THE public library idea was a new

N,,rld's Work. "They have seen it in
operation and leaders of Frenc;,
thought believe 1t is something France
needs. A committee, with the prcsi-
dent OF the French republic as it's
chairman, has been created to wurl,
out plans for the establishment in

plans are maturing for the estab.

schools and universities for the better
education Of our soldiers during the
period of rehabilitation. 1t will take
as long to get u men back as it has
taken to get them over-longer, prob
ably, because there will be no pressing
need for haste. Talleyrand said: You
can make a soldier out Of a civilian,
but you cannot make a civilian out of
a military man. Our government is
going to try to do what Talleyrand
said was impossible. Our men have
got to be educated for their return as

Within ten minutes after an appii-
cation Of Danderine you can not find a
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after a few
weeks use, when you see new hair. fine
and downy at irst-yes-but really
new hair-growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hnir. No DIFF
ference how dull. faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with Dan
derine and carefully draw it through
your hair, taking n small strand at a
time. The effect.is amazing-your hair
will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have
an appearance Of abundance; an in
comparable lustre, softness and luxu-
rance.
Get q small bottle Of KnowltOn's
Danderine for a few cents at any drug
store or toilet counter, and prove that
your hair is as pretty and soft as any
that it has been neglected or injured
by careless treatment-that's all-you
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
Of it if you will just try a little Dan
derine.-Adv.

Musician Has Travelled Far.

Sydney Nicholson, recently appoint
ed organist at Westminster abbey, is
a confirmed wanderer. This explains
why he holds the record for playing
in more churches and cathedrals in
England and abroad than any other
living Organlst. He started at Frank
fort, Germany, and from there he
drifted to Barnet, Elton and M%anches-
ter.
AT the latter city he founded the
popular midday organ recitals for
working people. These proved so sue
cessful that the scheme has now been
extended to the whole of the northern
counties.
1t is mot Gully in the Interpretation
of sacred music, however, that MI.
Nicholson has proved himself. He Is
an organist, composer and conductor
rolled into one, and has written an ex
quisite setting to some of Rupert
Brooke's poetry. The two were fast
friends at Oxford, and the ~organist's
music is an eloquent tribute to the
dead poets genius.

JAPAN UNPOPULAR
 AT RUSSIAN PORT
Members of Hospital Unit Says Bolsheviki Is Not Strong In
 Eastern Siberia.

TOKIO.-Bolshevism, as it exists in Southern Russia, does not seem to have penetrated Eastern Siberia, in the opinion of Dr. H. Q. F. Thomp- son, who has just returned from Russia with the Anglo-Russian Hos pital unit.
 In Vladivostock he saw officers in uniform, though they had been stripped of their shoulder straps. In Ukraine an officers uniform means sure death, he said. Vladi- vostock and Harbin seemed very quiet after the turbulent cities of the South. There seemed to be no excitement due to the presence of Allied warships in the harbor. All nationalities mixed quite freely and there seemed to be no more antag- onistic feeling toward the Japanese than toward others.

GIVES JAPAN WARNING;
 MUST ACT SOON
War Has Shown Dependence of Japanese Nation Upon Foreign
 Industry.

TOKIO.-Warning that adverse economic conditions may develop in Japan as result of the war was given by the Japanese Premier, Count Terauchi, in an address de- livered recently before the annual meeting of the clearing house banks. Responsibility of averting a disaster, he said, rested upon the bankers of Japan.
 The premier remarked that the necessity of industrial independence had been wildly brought home to Japan in consequence, of the war and it was because of this that the government had introduced into the last session of the diet projects tending towards the achievement of this independence. ..
 MT. Sboda, finance minister, who followed Count Terauchi, said that the government in compiling the estimates for the current fiscal year paid the utmost attention to the perfection of the national defense. A project was mapped out for the building of two battle-cruisers, three cruisers and sevently-five other war ships of all sorts at a total cost equivalent to $15O,25O,OOO, the dis bursement of which was to be spread over six years. This together with the expenditure of $141, 100000, which had already lived, would bring the total naval expenditure to be defrayed during the next six years to about $292,OOO, 1000.

LONDOM,s-Surrender of Ger man force of ,58,OOO men in East Africa was due to the chance drop ping of number of bombs by a British airman, according to a re- port from Capetown, which says:-
 '"An officer of the Flying Corps was out on reconnaissance in the region of the Rovuma river, but found nothing to bomb. Being forced to discharge his cargo of bombs to tighten his machine for the homeward trip, he chose quiet spot and dropped them all, causing of course, considerable noise.
 ''The German general, Tafel, was at the time marching to join his chief, Von Lettow, but news of the explosions was reported to him, and he, thinking a large force of the enemy must be somewhere in the district, diverted his line of march and :, before long bumped into British force.

The employment office in the office building of the Alaskan En- gineering commission is quite busy place nowadays, and many men may be seen signing up for work along the railroad
 The new location which is known as the D line is being prepared as rapidly as possible and actual con- struction work will be rushed as fast as conditions will permit.
 Locomotive No. and the Brown hoist have day and night crews, while the dragline will have three crews working two shifts of eight hours each and one of three hours, with a five-hour interval for any overhauling and repairing that may become necessary as the work prog resses.
 It is expected that double crews will soon be put on for working the locomotives 270, 272 and the Lidgerwood unloader.
 All of the necessary materials and supplies are now being assem- bled at an advantageous point on the right of way for the uninter- rupted continuance of the work of railroad building and the camps along the line are now the scenes of much activity as new impetus appears to have been givln railroad work recently.
 The services of all of the men that will be necessary for railroad work have not been avafled of, but they are being steadily signed on as conditions warrant and it is con- fidently expected that a large force of men will eventually be on the payroll of the Commission.
