Metal tissue has found it's way even
into sweaters. In some of the new

with the worsted. One such sweater
is Jade green wool and silver. 1t IS
knitted in an openwork dropstfck with
a band knitted in plain stitch around
the bottom of the sweater. The col

Corporal Lester f. Scott of the
Thirty-1fth company, United States
marines, who is stationed at Charlotte
Amalie in the little island recently
acquired by the United States, writes
as follows of the people and their be-
liefs:
"On the west shore of the bay lies
a settlement of French people called
Cha-Chas. These people came orig
inally from the Dutch and French
Leeward islands. They have not
married with the negroes, and they
live to themselves, resenting any out
side interference with their affairs.
"They are hard drinking race, yet
they are the most industrious people
on the island, and are especially good
canoemen.A Their boats are long, mar
row affairs made out of scraps of
wood. They supply the town with fish
and the women make straw hats that
find ready sale among the negroes.
"They will never rise any higher
than the true beach-comber, because
the race has degenerated, due to in
termarriage in so small colony. With
their ruddy faces, stiffly starched blue
shirts, tight white trousers and broad
brimmed hats, they present a curious
and unusual appearance.
"On the crest of two of the three
hills of Charlotte-Amalie nestles the
famous old castles of 'Bluebeard' and
'Blackbeard' These are the two places
of interest on the island. The old
buccaneers were alike as two peas in
their habits, but the castles are in
no way similar. Bluebeard's castle is
the more massive and is separated
from Blackbeard's by a distance of q
half-mile. After the death of the
two pirates, a secret tunnel was found
connecting the two castles.
"It is reported that it was through
this secret tunnel the two exchanged
the women they had captured on
ships"

HE DOUBTS SONS DEATH
Stillwell Man Not Sure Whether Avia-

Kansas City, Feb. 27.-John w.
Scott, Stillwell, Kan. father of Lieut.
Robert G. Scott, whose name appears
on today's casualty list as missing in
action, is in doubt whether his son is
alive or dead. Mr.. Scott wrote the
war department in regard to his son,
and received a telegram in reply stat
ing that Lieutenant Scott left the avi-
alton field at 2 o'clock on the after
noon of September and had failed
to return.
The telegram further stated that
Lieutenant SCOTS pilot, Lieut. Sam
uel G. Frierson, Madison, Ala, had
been captured September 9. Mr. Scott
received a letter from his son, dated
October 8, but he has received no
word since. He also received two let
tiers from Lieutenant Frierson, his
sons pilot, stating that his observer
Lieutenant ScotO had been killed.
Lieutenant Scott was admitted to
the second officers training school at
San Antonio, Tex, August "a, 1917.
and later was commissioned a first

Shortly afterward he was transferred
to the aviation section and was or
dered to Fort Sill. Okla. After short

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. mulsifled
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 thoroly. The lather
rinses out easily. and removes every
particle of dust. dirt. dandruff and
excessive 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 a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for months.

You can enjoy delightful shampoo
with very little effort and for a very
trifling cost, if you get from your
druggists package of canthrox and
dissolve a teaspoonful in a cup of hot
water. This makes a full cup of
shampoo liquid-enough SO it is easy
to apply it to all the hair instead of
just the top of the head. Your sham

time on the scalp and hair until both
are entirely covered by the daintily

CHARTER CHANGES
IRE FAVORED BY

N, a, Keleher Is Instructed to
Prepare Suggested Amend

Submission 10 Voters,

The commission went on record at
their regular meeting last night as
favoring the early amendment of the
charter, adopting a resolution includ-
ing the changes which they endorse,
City Attorney William A. Keleher was
instructed to prepare the suggested
amendments in proper legal form for
submitting them to the voters at
special election.
The questions to be submitted In
elude whether or not the commission
shall be enlarged to have five men,
bers. In the event that the increase
is favored two additional commission
ers would be selected Al large at an
other special election to be called lat
er.
The amendments also would pro-
vide for the election by the people
lin the event of a happening or con-
ungency whereby all offices in the
commission would be vacant at any
one time" and that candidates for
the commission be elected by the
highest number of votes This would
do away with the requirement Of the
charter for majorities to elect.
The commissioners compensation
would be cut off and rotation in Of
flee would be provided so that there
would always be on the commission
members who were familiar with city
affairs.
