GOVERNMENT TAKES STEAMER
 POLLARD TO NEW YORK

The United States government has requisitioned the steamship Pollard, which was constructed and launched at the Grootn Iron works several weeks ago. The requisition was effected through the agency of the United States Emergency Fleet corporation and the ship was taken over by Dep ufy United States Marshal William J. Hayes of New Haven.

 Deputy Marshal Hayes came to New London shortly before o'clock Wednesday night and immediately served requisition papers upon Deputy Sheriff J. II. Tubbs and on the law firm of Hull, McGuire & Hull, which has attachments on the vessel and other property at the plant of the Groton Iron works for several of it's creditors. Deputy Sheriff Tubbs placed the attachments and has had a keeper on the vessel After serving the papers the deputy marshal went to the plant in Groton, where early in the evening he took actual possession of the vessel.
 The Pollard, which recently had her first trial trip. coming up to all re- duirements, left Thursday morning for New York in charge of the deputy United States marshal, under whose orders the captain is acting. Unoffi- cially it is stated that the Pollard will take a cargo of provisions in New York fer emergency use in Belgium. Previ- ously 1t had been planned to send the ship to Piraeus, Greece.
 The compensation for the vessel will have to be determined by the presi I dent. Several payments on account I have already been made upon the yes ! seI and the government will pay the ! balance due with extras amounting to ! a considerable sum.
 l The money which will be paid for the vessel affects no creditors in par ! ticular, either secured or unsecured l but will eventually be apportioned { among all.

Alkali Makes Soap
 Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contai in too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle
 The best thing to use is just plain mulsified cocoanut oil for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap and beat sthe most expensive soaps or anything else all to pieces, You can get this at any drug store and few ounces will last the whole family for months.
 Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy Iather. cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff.

Lloyd ran upstairs and protested.
Angry words led to blows and Lloyd
ran downstairs again, secured a

to shoot him.
Three of the shots fired at Arch
