The business Of the mob is to get the
mind of the prospective victim of the

does the actual robbing.

DIXIE JUBILEES,
FOR 'STEENTH Time,
DELIGHT AUDIENCE

Real jubilee music, the kind which
cannot be given by any other set Of
people, was given by the Dixie Jubilee
Singers, in an afternoon and evening
concert which every one in the audi
ence seemed thoroughly to enjoy. The
Dixies are old favorites here, having
appeared In Richmond several times.
Encore after encore they gave and
everybody wanted more. They sang
everything from fairly highbrow stuff
to the wooliest camp meeting chorus,
and their comedian, Louis A. Morris,
who has not appeared with them be-
fore, added materially to every quar-
tette selection as we'll as his own solo
work
Morris Is also a cartoonist Of no
mean ability, and in the evening he
set the entire audience laughing with
his caricatures. While he drew these
he also made remarks on life and
things in general, his jokes being new
and we'll done.

THE dead philosophy that the
worlds problems can only be settled
by force Of arms, has cost enough a.
ready, and while Germany may have
been responsible for the war we are
Just as much responsible for peace and
its preservation, said the Rev. Roy l..
Smith, Of Chicago at the chautauqua
Monday afternoon, in a sincere plea
for a new world. Smith came to the
Richmond chautauqua last year and
entertained his audience, but Monday
afternoon he explained that he would
not endeavor to entertain them, but
rather to present as cold facts some
things which were very near to his
heart. However his humor came to
the front.
Spirit Of Trust Needed.
"If we are going to make peace we
must first have a spirit Of trust" said
Smith. I'VE can not have trust stand
ing on our old mistakes and crimes.
When earthquake destroyed the city
of San Francisco, the debris was
cleaned away and a new city was built
on the site Of the old. But it was &C
cording to a new plan.

more substantial, and more symmetric-

building Of the new to avoid the mis-
takes of the old. This generation.

Of the world today face no greater
obligation than stamping out the spirit
of militarism, and I say this as a
Methodist and not a Quaker.
America has taken her place as a
world power but she has not found
her way ahead clear yet. We went
into this war to- make peace. Is 1t
not our business and our duty to make
the world safe for peace?

Monday sales were very slim in

The biggest item being purchased
by local residents is canned peas.
However, as there are over twelve
thousand cans available and Mondays
orders were for approximately three
hundred and sixty cans. it can readily
be seen that RichmoIdites are not
taking advantage Of the sale to COM

baked beans are third.

Ideals, Not Armies, Must Build
New World; Says Chicago Preacher

the race riots OF East st. Louis and
Chicago have shown that the negro
problem is not a matter Of geogra ply
but, of the human heart.
I'm India, the coming Of Christianity
sees the beginning OF the decay Of the
caste system. Here in America we

These strangers at our gates have

of immigration, and we have put them

did not create the slums. He Is forced
there by circumstances. Long hours,
low wages, unsanitary houses, polite
ians, exploiting tradesmen, have been
so out Of key with the Immigrant
ideal of Americanism that he has
rushed into social radicalism in pro-
test.
RadcaIlsm In Protest.
Much radicalism among foreign
peoples is but a reaction against the
discrepancy between what they expect
ed and what they found. The Chris.
tan Church faces the task of show
ing the real Americanism and bringing
Kim to loyalty to that ideal. The task
is ours. We profit by his labor, we
may even induce him to take out his

have trained him to think American
our task is incomplete.

Be Careful What You
Wash You Hair With

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkili, which is very
injurious, as 1t dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo. for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap and beats anything else all to
pieces. You can get this at any drug
store, and a 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. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
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.-Adv.

it is a step. Something must be done

Again speaking Of the president.
"Mr. Wilson's attitude in Mexico is
undoubtedly the most Christian one.
1t is time that the American people
knew a little more about the Mexican
side Of the question, and when you
read that 80 or 40 or 100 American
soldiers were shot remember that
there were undoubtedly 80 or 40 or
