 Americas much -heralded victory medal soon is to be distributed
 The Birmingham recruiting office has received copies of the design, which are here reproduced
 Some 4.500,000 American soldiers and sailors soon are to receive the victory medal tribute of a grateful nation to all the men in uniform who aided in crushing German ambition to dominate the world.
 During the spring of 1918, while hostilities were still at their height, the different allied and associated na- tions agreed to adapt a medal which would be the same for all to com memorate the great war.
 In order to carry this plan into execution. an interallied commission met in Paris after the armistice The commission found it was impractical to adhere strictly to the original plan It was decided, however to have an identical ribbon and allow each coun- try to design ts own medal according to general specifications which were drawn up by the commission. Tha ribbon is a double rainbow having ths red in the center and with a white thread on each edge 1t symbolizes the dawn of a new era of calm after the storm.
 
 adopted by the commission are as fol- lows:
 To be bronze, 1.4 inches in diameter. and suspended from the ribbon by q ring. the same as most of our medals. On the obverse a winged victory. standing full length and full face. On the reverse. the inscription. "The Great War for Civilization.'' and either the name or the arms of the allied and associated nations.
 system of clasps was adopted for this medal. To designate the posses sion of a battle clasp small bronza star is worn on the service ribbon. In accordance with the general prin- ciple that senior decorations are to the right. silver citation stars should be worn to the right of bronze stars on the service ribbon. fSilver stars designate special citations.)
 The medals are expected to be dis tributed here within a week or SO

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash it
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo which is pure and entire
ly greasless), is much getter than any
thing else you can use for shampooing,
as this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with wa
ter and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonsfuls will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily, and removes
every particle of dust, dirt dandruff
and excessive OIL The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store. 1t is
very cheap, and a few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the family
for months. Advertisement.

I agree with you, that it was all
right for the young man to take your
sister to the show, but wrong for him
to try to deceive you. He probably
thought you would be hurt if you
knew and he wanted to save your
feelings. This of course was the
wrong attitude, because he should do
nothing which would make it neces'
sary for him to deceive. Tell him
that there cannot be love without
trust and he must not do such a
thing again. This time try to forget
