nevertheless is the largest, most pros
porous and most important of them
all. It's railroads. metropolitan cities
and agricultural developments make it
one of the chief islands of the Antilles.
If Great Britain's price for all these
islands were to be fixed at the rate
per acre paid for the Danish West
Indies it would amount to about
81, 50O,00O,O00.
Undoubtedly the islands belong geo.
graphically to the American continent.
For the past several decades the Brit
ish possessions have belonged to the
United States economically, for the
bulk of their trade has been with
America and only small part of 1t
with the mother country. Linguistical-
ly there is no choice. Sympathetical-
ly, assuming that the wishes of the
inhabitants are to be taken Into con-
sideration, there is little doubt that
the islanders would vote to join them
selves to the United States. The ex-
ample of Porto Rico before their eyes,
where poor people prospered with
American aid, is too striking to pass
unObserved. Moreover, they realize
that they are no longer the favorites
of England. The Indies under British
rule are not particularly prosperous.
Probably the production of the Is
lands could be greatly stimulated un-
der American control. and with an in
creased market. Sugar. cocoa and ba-
nanas are things that everybody wants.
Strategically the position of the
| tcl, Is TN
our viewpoint. The purchase of the
islands might be an extension of the
Monroe doctrine-by which Uncle Sam
sets great store.
And what Job it would be to
straighten out the various complica-
tions of these many Islands! There Is
now Joint resolution before congress
appointing a commission to report on
conditions in the Virgin islands. In
the documents 1t is related that there
is urgent need for action. Danish GUS
toms, Danish laws. Danish methods of
judicial procedure, are still in vogue
in the Islands. There is great need
to Americanize them. The land ques-
ton needs serious attention. The ma
tiyes own but per cent of the land

Danes or by those to whom the Ger
mans have transferred title. The own
ers of the land will not lease It or sell
1t. This is resulting in condition
where the inhabitants of these Islands
have no part In the sale of the land
and no chance to make living out of
agriculture. The great necessity is
some land law that will enable the
people to acquire land. The Amerl-
cans, since their occupation, have done
considerable work along lines Of sani-
tation.
The people of the islands feel that
they have been neglected by the Unit
ed States; that when the American
flag went up in the Virgin Islands II
should have been followed by Amer
lean laws, customs, and ideals as soon
as possible.
Congress is without sufficient infor-
nation to act In these matters. and
there would be great benefit. in the
opinion of the committee, in having
! small commission visit the Islands.

Why Golf Links" !"

The term "links" in connection with
golf is of Scottish origin. 1t originally
was used to designate stretch of land
covered with short grass and stubble
which lies between the high point OF
the coast and the water In parts OF the
Scottish seaboard. The first golf cours-
es were laid out along these stretches,
nence the name. When the sport
spread to other countries the name
"links" clung to 1t. but the. original

the name might awaken memories OF
onions in the minds of some-isnt
strictly one of the Indies, but is often
classed with them, Its 300 Islands,
iutting out of the sea nearly 600 miles
of the Carolinas, attract many visi-
tors from America.
The Bahamas-3,00O of them-are
also well known to the winter resort
tourists who flock to Nassau. They
stretch off to the southeast from Flor
ida, for the most part uninhabited.
All the island interest centers in the
winter trade. There is no other live
lihood for the 10000 residents, and
there is neither fertility nor rains or
heat to produce the wealth and beauty
that make the more southerly Indies
famous.
Beyond Porto Rico lie more of Eng
lands possessions. Many of them are
very small. st. Kits and Nevis. of
course, are historically famous In their
association. The latter was the birth
place of Alexander Hamilton. Bar
buda is the game preserve Of the
region.
Montserrat might be called distin-
guished for its red-headed, freckled-
face negroes with Irish names who
have even kept the brogue of the or
iginal Irish settlers. DOminlca is one
of the real beauty spots of the sort
that remind one of Nice and the Medi-
terranean and raise the question why
Americans should go to Europe when
this fairyland lies so near. Its only
drawback is the rain, that falls every
day, sometimes from clear blue sky
and gives Dominica the name of one
of the wettest spots on earth. On this
island live the few remaining pure
blooded, yellow Caribs, the warlike
people who fought the European set
tiers through 300 years before being
almost exterminated.
st. Lucia is important on the map
because it is coalng station for all
the Caribbean. The inhabitants know
no other employment than carrying
fuel to the many ships that seek har-
bor there. The island, ritel in agri-
cultural possibilities, lies idle beneath
tropic sun, for coaling pays well,
the hours of labor are short and in the
days between jobs people take it easy.
Barbados, where live an average of
200 people to the square mile, is dis
tinctly English. To most of the Islands
Great Britain is little more than
stepmother, as discOverers from
other countries reached them first.
But Barbados is and always has been
English. If Great Britain had senti-
mental attachments to any of her In
dian possessions, they would tie her
closest to Barbados. st. Vincent and

as this, which may be asked:
Does the United States want the
British West Indies?
Is Great Britain willing to sell them
to the United States?
Can the two nations agree on a
price?
Answers to these questions will have
to be guesswork largely. 1t was first
rumored in diplomatic circles In Wash
ington In 1917 that the transfer was
being considered. Nothing official.
however, has ever been made public.
Secretary of State Lansing says he
knows nothing about it.
Giving color to the possibility of the
transfer are two facts: One is that
the United States is apparently in the
market for West Indian islands, as
shown by the purchase In 1917 of the
Virgin Islands from Denmark for S2o,-
100000. In this connection 1t is to be
kept in mind that the Panama canal
is located in this part of the world,
which fact may have something TO do
with Uncle Sans apparent desire to
invest In Islands off its Atlantic ap-
proach. The other fact Is that Great
Britain owes the United States about
four billions, has national debt now
in excess of S25.OOO, 100000 and is ap-
parently finding her West Indian is
lands more of liability than an asset.
The British West Indies comprise
the greater number of the string OF
pearl-like islands that is flung like Il
necklace from Florida to South Amer
lea, around that corner of the ocean
known as the Caribbean. All told
there are some four thousand of these
bits of land. though not many more
than a hundred are populated, and
most of the Islands are only great reefs
thrown up from volcanic sea in some

The British West indies have total
area of 12,10O square miles-equal to
the states of Massachusetts and Con

nearly 100000, for the most part ne

Care Of the Hair.

Women who have not the time or
money to take scalp treatments can
do about as much for themselves as
specialist can do for them in the
treatment of ordinary hair troubles.
Ten minutes attention given to the
hair and scalp each day is more bene-
ficial than infrequent professional
treatments. The remedies for the
usual scalp and hair difficulties are
simple and inexpensive. 1t Is regu-
lar and persistent care that can be
depended on to repay the effort.
Cleanliness requires shampoo at
intervals of two to four weeks. If the
scalp is healthy and the hair sufficient
ly abundant this, with n brisk. brief
brushing every day will keep the hair
in good condition.
To Cure Dandruf.
Take thimbleful of powdered re-
fined boraX, let 1t dissolve in n teacup-
ful of water; first brush the head we'll
and then wet brush with the solution
and rub the scalp well with It,. Do
this every day for week, then twice

found.
To Improve Hair.
The best shampoo for oily hair and
