Recognizing in the program OF the
Boy Scouts of America one OF the
kreatest movements toward the ma
king of good citizens, and training
koldiers in their fundamental require
ments, the War Department of the
United States has issued an Official
circular designed to assist in the pres
emit nationwide campaign to secure
d large number of new scout leaders.
The circular is signed by Gen. Peyton
c. March, Chief of staff, by order of
Secretary of War Baker and carries
the Official stamp Of Adj. Gen. P. c.
Harris.
This ia the highest official honor
paid the Boy Scouts since Congress
granted the organization federal
charter on June Is, 1916, and in the
kame month, under section 125 of the
Army Reorganization Law, the Boy
Scouts of America were given per-
mission to wear uniforms similar to
those worn by the men of the United
States Army.
Military life and scouting have
much in common excepting the man
nal OF arms and the carrying of guns,
which play no part IN the scout pro
gram. Their common ground is in
the development of discipline, the
making of healthy bodies through
outdoor activities and the creation or
loyalty and good citizenship.
Thousands Of civilians, men OF ex-
salient character, who entered the
Army-and Navy as well-during the
war have acquired through their ex-
perience I'm service qualities Of lead
ership that may have been dormant
during civilian life. Many OF them
are of last the sort to inspire boys,
the kind that will make good scout
masters, OF whom there is a dearth.

Sign Treaty And

CONFERENCE RESTS
Nothing Important to Come
Up While Wilson'S
Away.
(By Assooiated Press.

LONDON, June 19-The flight OF the
British dirigible r "a to America is
postponed until Germany decides what
she intends to do regarding the peace
terms.
Should Germany refuse TO sign ac-
cording to one authority, the flight OF
the R "a will be eastward instead or
westward. The airships which are
over Germany viii return to their bas-
es tonight and remain there until the
German decision is announced.
Bombs and machine guns were I'M
necessary in the present flight, said
the officer. Should they have 10 go
eastward again however, these things
may be needed
The foregoing appeared In the re-
port in London that the R 80 and r "a
were armed for their present eastward
cruises.
German feeling toward the peace
meeting treaty appeared TO he taking
a more favorable trend although the
peace delegation headed by Count Won
Brockdorf Rantzau is represented as
decidedly opposed to acceptance OF the
revised allied terms, The latest dsi-
patches from Weimar where the Ger
man cabinet and national assembly are
considering the treaty reflestsa differ
ent viewpoint.
The majority Socialists, the present
dominant political force in the German
republic are declared in these advices
to be more favorably inclined toward
the treaty than at first. while the
Clericals and Democrats OF the left
wing are reported to be swinging In
the same direction. One report from
Berlin represents the people Of the
capital as resigned to the future de-
string only to see the treaty signed
and the suspense ended
In the meantime, however, rumors
OF an exciting nature are printed IN
London newspapers. It is being said
that the British grand fleet IS prepared
to sail on short notice for German wa
ters and that British dirigibles are al
ready near the German coast n not on
German soil.
Only minor affairs are being taken
up by the minor officials OF peace cou-
ference in the absence OF President
Wilson in Belgium. Efforts are being
made to adjust the railroad communi-
cation between Fiume and Triest and
Vienna to the satisfaction or Italy.

Many symptoms peculiar to women,
such as dizziness, fainting spells,
backache, headaches, Kidney and
Bladder troubles, languor and nerv-
BUSINESS are in a large part due to
impurities in the blood - or worse
still, anaemia, which means that the
Blood is thin, watery and lacking in
nourishment.
If you are rundown, If your energy
or strength are below normal, il you
have to force yourself to do your
daily tasks. you should enrich your
blood supply at once. In this way,
you start a sure foundation on which
to build your health and happiness.
You may easily and quickly renew
both the quantity and quality of

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. Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo (Which is pure
and entirely greaseless) is much
better than 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
teaspoonfuls will make an abun-
dance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out cas-
lily, 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 manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store. 1t
is very cheap, and a few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the fam
lily for months.

City, will address the membership
of the Harrisburg Chamber of Com
merce on "Sidelights of the Express
Business, Humorous and Tragic" at
a luncheon meeting to be held in the
Penn Harris ballroom next Tuesday

Mr.. Conwell is general attorney
for the American Railway Express

dress the Chamber members in view
of his wide experience in the express
business, which qualities him to
speak with authority on matters
pertaining to express service. Ship
pers and manufacturers who belong
to the Chamber of Commerce are
especially interested in the forth
coming address as it will give them
a chance to air their grievances
against the express companies, and
learn some of the causes which
make for good and poor service in
the express business.
