Careless Shampooing
Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully.
II you want to keep your hair look

pared shampoos contain too much al

hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo

is better than anything else you can
use.

SALVATION ARMY
DRIVE ACCUSING
DEEP INTEREST
Nations Big Men Wishing to
Support Drive for $13,OOO,OOO

Tremendous interest is being
shown in the coming drive for the
Salvation Army, the leading men
, throughout the country being among
those who are to work actively on
the various drives. and every posi-
BILE kind of organization as we'll as
religious bodies are taking I'D the
cause. Perhaps the most significant
fact which attests to the high esti-
| mate with which the work of the
Salvation Army had been held in the
overseas work, is that many re-
turned Y-D officers are ON the vari-
GUS committees.
Brig. Gen. Charles H. Cole is
chairman of the Boston campaign
committee and associated with him
are Brig. Gen. John H. Sherman,
Col. Geo. w. Bunnell. Col. Robert f.
Goodwin. Col. Edward L. Logan,
Col. William J. Keville and Major
Carroll J. Swan.
United States Senators Lodge and
Walsh. Mayor Peters: District At

General Of the K. Of c. throughout
the United States: Lewis A. Crossett,
who organized the Y. NJ. c. A. for
war work and largely directed the
activities of that association: Julius
L. Elsmann. who did the same for
the Jewish Welfare Board and many
other men whose names are promi-
nent in New England are actively
engaged in the raising of funds in
this drive.
Augusta has never fallen short in
any good work, never has she been
among those who have not raised
their quota, so 1t is hoped that each
will give as generously as possible
that at least the minimum will be
reached.

Not only is it embarrassing, but it
is sometimes unfortunate to mistake
an old mans wife for his daughter.
But that is just what happened to
Chester Calhoun. He didn't apollo
gize, though. He rather kept on
paying his attentions, the old man
died and the two young people then
married.
That justihints at some Of the un-
usual situations that develop in
"Vicky Van." the big Paramount fea-
ture that will be shown at the Colo
NAL theatre this afternoon. Ethel
Clayton appears in, the principal role
and if there is anyone whom screen
fans adose, It is this same Miss
Clayton. She has been attractive in
other parts she has played, but. in
''Vicky Van," she is simply irresis-
tible. That's why Chester couldn't
be blamed. perhaps. >:
The story Of the piece Is by Caro-
lyn Wells. Miss Clayton plays the
role Of Ruth Schuyler, the dashing
young wife Of hating old man. She
becomes tired Of the bondage and
when she is left money in her own
name. she decides to have her fling.
She hires a house next door, connects
it with her home by a secret pas

OF the many big things that are
offered in the production, two giants

ARGENTINE STRIKE
FAR FROM SETTLED
Maritime Federation No Longer Con-

Buenos Aires. March 6,-The
strike of port workers, which has
caused a serious tieup to shipping
business here, took another tuln to-
night when representatives of the
port workers approved the action of
the Maritime federation in deciding
no longer to adopt Il cOncilia tory at
titude toward the ship owners. The
strikers also decided to frame new
demands.
The ship owners conferred for sew
eral hours today and discussed pro-
posed steps for reaching Il settlement
of the strike. The owners adjourned,
however, without taking any action.
A report that tho shipping agents
had decided not to insist that the port
workers abolish boycotts was later
denied.
German owned vessels in Argentine
harbOrs have not been affected by the
strike. The ship owners claim that
halt of the money earned by these
vessels goes to the support of the
strikers.
