Weaknew a captain of/nfantry. He drilled his
men earnestly, steadily, expertly When each lot
trained by him went overseas it was smooth
running military machine.
This captain was capable; he did his part to
perfection. ....- r..
Despite that, he was ashamed to wear the bars
that bespoke his rank. The reason he gave was
sincere:
What they had to go through over there to earn
the same distinction.
The mans face flushed with conflicting emotions
the desire to deserve his rank and the embar
rassment it meant under the conditions he held
it--as he told us.
Yesterday we met another man. He was the
hero of many swivel-char engagements as chair
man of a draft board. He yapped to US half an
hour about bill about to be launched before con-

of oak desk campaigns in which countless hips
were fractured by feet slipping from polished fiat

WHEN YOU BEGIN TO GET BALD

That worried, fear-stricken, haunted express
sion first appears on your face when you discover
that your hair is falling out and your friends begin
kidding you like this: "Oh, boy, what high
forehead you're accumulating' and "Oh, we'll, you
don't show your age so much at that"
Then's when you start slyly slipping into the
drug stores and in husky voice, asking the sus-
picicus clerk who eyes you as though you were a
criminal with your victims body concealed about
you somewhere, for quart bottle of hair restor-
er. You beat it away with sharp glances hither
and yon-in order to dodge inquisitive friends and
acquaintances-and you handle the bottle with as
much loving care as though you were an ancient
tank in a dry town who had secured quart of
the old jazzerno.
Up in your room you carefully pull down the
shades and then rub the stuff in your scalp with
high hopes and an exact regard for the printed
directions Next, you lightly and cautiously brush
your thinning locks and, with gulp and gasp
of intense anguish discover more than the normal
number of loose hairs adhering to the bristles.
Finally you go down to the evening meal with a
morose look and distinctly sweet scent clinging
about your head like damp cloud hugging hill
side on a misty morning.
Your family giggles at you behind your back
and anonymous miscreants send you skull caps
and toupees through the mails.
When you drift into barber shop for a shave
you expect commiseration and coarse laughter
from the razor wielder. Instead, he runs his hand
through your hair with gladstone smile and
emits this gloom destroying line of dope: what
thick hair you have! You have wonderful head
Of hair! You'll never become bald But you must
take care of your hair! Now this preparation
have here will keep your hair as it is forever,
and Oh, boy, you forget about your previous
hair restorer experiences and you buy everything
in the shop! Who says BARRIERS don't know hui
man nature?

Give a Lovely Complexion.
The reason why Stuart's Calcium
Waters beautify the skin is their
natural tendency to seek the surface.
The wonderful calcium sulfide is
one Of the natural constituents OF
the human body. You must have
it to be healthy. 1t enriches the
blood, invigorates skin health, dries
up the pimples and boils, eszerha and
blotches, enables new skin of fine
texture to form and become clear,
pinkish, smooth as velvet and re-
fined to the point Of loneliness and
Oeauty. This is "how to be beauti-
full" Stop using creams, lotions,
powders and bleaches which merely
hide for the moment. Get q 50-cent

The Australian blacks have pref

creation of the. turtle. than, that they
were just one of the many things God
put upon the earth. They say that
while Wayambeh, an Australian
tribesman, was roaming the bush. he
came across Oolah. the Lizard-woman,
with three children, digging for yams.
He stole her and the children and
took them to his camp. The, other
members Of the tribelwere angry with
him. because they had sayedla young
girl for him to marry, and told him
they would not help him fight Oolah's
tribe, when 1t came to get her back.
When the savage tribe came to do
battle Wayambeh went out to meet
them, wearing q shield In front and
behind him. When his enemies shot
at him he drew his head and limbs in
between the shields. He did this three
times, then he realized the enemy was
upon him and his only escape was in
the river. He threw one shield away
and jumped In. They waited on the
bank for him to reappear, ready to
shoot him as soon as his head came
above water. To avoid them he turned
himself into turtle, the tribesmen
say, and he is In the water to this day.

anyone comes to harm him he draws
his head and limbs under his shield.

The original of "Where MacGregor

remains in dispute. 1t is not in Scott's
Rob Roy" that Highland cattle
poacher and LEVER of blackmail, while
redressing his own injuries. But it
was peculiarly a Scottish idea Of
precedence, shared, however, among
all people. There is Johnny Groat's
octagon house at the northeastern ex-
tremity of Scotland having these
geometrical sides so that each son and
head of eight Groat families could
enter at his own door and sit at each
upper end of an eight-sided table.
Ralph Waldo Emerson In his "The
American Scholar" says: "The great
man makes the great thing. Where
Macdonald sits, there is the head OF
the table," Now Theodore Parker, the
famous Unitarian scholar, insisted that
MacGregor was the proper name. But

Committee Of Fifteen to In
vestigate Conduct Of Dip
Iomatic and Military Lead
ers During War.
tBy The Associated Prennl

10y luz AhbOtiAtcu TTt1H
BERLIN, Sunday, June 8-The
constitutional convention has COM
pleted its consideration Of a bill Great
ing a state court which would try
those accused Of starting, frightening
and losing the war. II will be pre-
scnted in the national assembly soon.
The measure provides for a commit
tee of fifteen members of the nation
al assembly to investigate the political
and military leadership of the country
prior TO and during the war, and re-
quires the government to produce any
documents needed at the projected
trials. The court would be composed
of fifteen members, including the
presidents of the imperial, military,
Prussian, Bavarian and Hanseatic on
preme courts, five members Of the ma
tional assembly and five senator's. The
accused would be permitted 10 have
counsel and would be given the privi-
lege OF te~stifying. Deliberations OF
the court would be secret and there
would be no appeal from its verdict.
The people demand an e%xplana-
ton as to who Is guilty for the war,
why 1t was not ended earlier and
whether the balefui result could moi
have been partly or wholly avoided
says a statement which will accom-.
pany the bill when it is presented &c
the national accembly. This is the
task OF a state court, although il can
render no final verdict because it is
unable to see the archives of other
countries participating in the war.
Nevertheless Germany's desire to
withhold from the rest Of the world
and not to spare the guilty ha, caused
the government TO apply for ale crea-
ton of an international investigation
