MOVIE ACTRESSES AND
THEIR HAIR.

Did it ever occur TO you that every
movie actress you have seen has lovely
hair, while the most popular count
their curls as their chief beauty? In
fact, many are leading ladies just be-
cause Of their attractive looks. In
quiry among them discloses the fact
that they bring out all the natural
beauty of their hair by careful sham
pooing, not with any soap or make
shift, but with a simple mixture by
putting a teaspoonful Of canthrox
(which they get from the druggist) in
a cup Of hot water and applying this
instead Of soap. This full cup Of sham
poo liquid is enough so it is easy to
apply 10 to all the hair instead Of just
the top Of the head. After its use, the
hair dries rapidly with uniform color.
Dandru1, excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear. The hair
is so fluffy that IL looks much heavier
than It is, its luster and softness are
delightful.

Mr.. Myers, one of the senate's lumi-
narios when the subject is 'law and
order"-an after war "Americanism"
that ignores profiteers and dollar pa
triots, but would silence the workers
discomfort and smash their unions.
The measure was passed at spe,
cial night session of the senate when
IL members were present. The vote
was to 5. AS no one raised the
point that quorum was not present,
the vote stands as the sense of the
senate.
Trade unionists have repeatedly
shown to these senators that the
American Federation of Labor has no
power to call strikes and that this
power is vested only in the union di-
rectly interested
These claims are ignored by the
anti-union lawmakers who declare
they will renew their attempt to lock
out trade union employees of the gov
ernment.

"OPEN SHOP"
FALLACY
Revealed by United States
Senate

Washington.-The United States
senate has recorded its friendship fo
the so-called "open shop" by declaring
that no union of government -.
ployes shall affiliate with an organi-
zation that strikes.
The declaration was rejected, how
ever, when the appropriation bill to
which it was attached went to confer
ence between representatives of CON
gress The anti-union clause was not
in the house appropriation bill and
the conferees agreed to stand for law
by eliminating this attack on the
rights of government employees
The senate action reveals the fall
lacy and hypocrisy of so-called "open
shop" advocates and it indorses every
charge of trade unionists that the So
called "open shop" is subterfuge
and trick phrase to conceal an EN-
ployer's lockout of organized workers.
The measure would affect every
trade union that has members work
ing for the government and it would
annihilate the unions of postal
clerks, federal employees, railway mail
clerks, letter carriers and other or

Washington, d. C.-That the Inter
national Labor Conference of the
League of Nations, now in session
here, will exert profound influence
upon world industrial conditions is
admitted by all who are observing
closely and who understand the status
of the conference in relation to the
League of Nations.
The conference may act under two
heads:
1t may adopt draft conventions,
or agreements, which will in turn be
presented to all governments within
the League of Nations, for acceptance
or rejection.
PIT may adopt recommendation
these to be presented to the member
nations, but requiring no action
1t appears practically certain that
all important European nations
practically all of the settled Euro
pean nations, in fact will adopt
whatever draft conventions are for
mulated here.
This means that if an eight hour
day, or forty -eight-hour week draft
convention is approved here the reg
ulations it contains will become the
law of Europe.

ture that gives the International
Labor Conference its most potent
force.
North America is In Class
By Itself
The North American continent is in
class by itself because of the fact
that the three great governments.
United States, Canada and Mexico,
are federations of states. In none of
these can the central government
pledge the country to adoption of such
an agreement as, for example, the es-
tabhshing of an eight-hour day. Rec
ognition of this is to be found in the
labor section of the peace treaty.
However, America will not be ex-
