SEASONABLE BEAUTY AID

We find you can bring. out the
beauty of your hair to its very best
by washing it with can
throx. 1t makes a very simple. in
expensive shampoo, which cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly OF all
the dandruff, dirt and excess oil,
leaving a wonderfully clean, whole
some feeling. After its use you will
find that the hair dries quickly and
evenly, is never streaked in appear
ance and is always bright, soft and
fluffy; so fluffy, in fact, that il
looks more abundant than il is, and
so soft that arranging it becomes a
pleasure. Just use a teaspoonful of
canthrox, which you can get from
any good druggists, dissolve II in
a cup Of hot water; this makes a
full cup of shampoo liquid, enough
so It is easy TO apply II to all the
hair instead of just the top of the
head.-Ady. -

.DESIR9YERS SEIZE OIL

Washington, July 27.-Seizure by

Navy supply officers indicated the
belief that several oil companies on
the Pacific Coast, which have re-
ported their output as being sufficient
only to supply private contracts, were
withholding delivery of their appor-
tioned quotas to the navy to compel
eseizure. ~" Such course might be
held, they said, to place the compan-

WOULD CALL MEETING
Of LEADING POtI' FRI; y

London, July 27.-A feature of the
suggestion of George Tchitcf1erin,
Russian minister of foreign affairs,
for a peace conference at London
which fixes first attention here is that
it differs widely from that proposed
by Earl Carlson's recent note from
Spa. The present Soviet proposal
instead of accepting discussion under
auspices of the peace conference with
Poland and other states bordering on
Russia, calls for meeting with the
leading entente powers which, in the
view of commentators here, involves
something like two world congress,
affecting the affairs of the greater
parts of Europe and Asia, in what it
is thought likely the United States
might find it desirable to take hand.
While the Times and some other
papers dissent on the condition ask
ing for general wrangles, another diff
ficulty raised against compliance with
the Russian suggestion is that it
would practically involve deputy rec
ognition of the Soviet government.
1t is assumed in some quarters that
today's conference between Premiers
Lloyd George and Millerand at Bo-
logne will be mainly concerned with
this difficulty.

AMERICAN DESGRIERS IN FRANCE
now HUMBER ONE HUNDRED

Paris, July 27.-Deserters from the
American army that came to France
still number 100 in the Paris district
alone, according to report made by
the Paris police to Captain ]. A. War
den, who is supervising the apprehen-
sion OF the deserters in addition to in
vestigating bills still being presented
against the American Expeditionary
forces.
All these deserters have the reputa-
tion with the police of carrying guns
and being bad men generally, the po-
lice siaply notify the American au-
thorities from time to time of their
presence in some particular place, but
do not attempt to. arrest them.
In some weeks the arrests of desert
ers have averaged as high as ten. The
men not only carried guns but were
armed with remarkable sets of per-
sonal papers including forged army
discharges and forged army orders.
With these papers it was simple to
obtain the necessary French identity
cards. Often the men are Americans
of foreign birth.
The lairs Of the deserters are most
ly in Montmartre in secret under
ground passages in which the Apaches
of Paris have managed in the past to
hide their trails from the police.
Their communications are So well
established that instantly raid, is
carried out by American military po.
lice from Coblenz/the alarm is given
in every quarter.
The deserters are penned up ir
Paris, not daring to stir outside the
Icity. If they leave Paris it mean:
leaving an income which often come:
fssrn Sths nlicits s&as ofsSfugs, being
beng separated a.ou -rhdIs-ss.s.. :. 80 5
and being Investigated by the Frencf

The number of deserters in Paris
| is steadily decreasing however. A
soon as all alarms have died down tn
military police swoop down again OF
suspected places and usually the mex

money was his own, but that he ex-
pected to pool whiskey among other
saloon men after he secured it.

where to get the liquor" Nelson
said, but he left me as soon as we
