If you want to keep your hair in good

Most soaps and prepared shampoos

Simply molsten your hair with water

to italian aspirations in the Fiume
question. The Democrats would prob
ably be happy to see the Fiume con-

To the German voters the appeal of

Appeal to Poles.

To the Poles the Republicans and
Democrats will present iifferent aspects
of Poland's plight. The Democrats Will
say the troubles in Poland today are
due to neglect by the pow9rs and es-
pecially the inability OF America to
help through the league of nations;
while the Republicans would answer
that, II this be true, President Wilson s
stubbornness kept America from being
in the league to render that help.
Among the CZecho- SlovaKs and Jugo-
Slavs, the assistance already rendered
by America to the new republics in
Central Europe will be used to political
advantage in the claiming o. credit by
the Democrats for the part played by
President Wilson in the establishment
OF those countries and by the Repub-
relief rendered in Austria, and else
where in Central Europe, by Herbert
Hoover, who has announced his support
of Senator Harding.
But fundamentally, Harding has
opened up wide the question Of the
sympathies of the foreign-born in the
event that dispute arises between the
United States and the country of their
birth. The dissentions inside America
with Germany occurred, say the Dem
ocrats. when there was no league of
nations and they declare moreover that
the Irish Americans have sat in the
Hobbies of congress and influenced the
passage of resolution after resolution
offensive to Great Britain. On the
other hand, Wilson himself has con-
made up of various nationalities her
people could bring friendly influence to
bear and could better understand Euro
Dean controversies
