Soap should be used very carefully,

dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is Mul.

pure and gTeaseless), and is better
than anything else you can use.

The Theatres
WASHINGTON,

Frequently when a scene on the
screen is pictured where an actor
takes hazardous chances. the wise
ones will tell you dummy" or
double is being used. AS a matter
of fact, the better actors never fake
and consider 1t a point of honor to go
through the dangerous scenes them.
selves. This was illustrated forcibly
during the screening of an Mizzoura,"
the new Paramount-Artcraft picture,
starring Robert Warwick, which is
showing at the Washington Friday
and Saturday.
Hugh Ford, the director went to
Robert Cain, the "heavy," and told
him break-neck horseback ride was
: scheduled, in which Cain was to be
epursued by Major Warwick, and
knocked headlong from the saddle
Mr.. Ford offered to have an extra
double for Cain in the scene.
Not by jug full" said the actor.
The ride was undertaken and came
out successfully, except that Major
Warwick gave the plucky Cain a beau
tiful black eye and knocked him into
clump of prickly shrub. But Cain
was satisfied. If not exactly happy

Tom Mix, in all his daring career
on and off the screen, has done few
more dangerous things than the jump
he made from bridge to window in
filming one of the episodes Of Desert
Love-" the Fox picture, scheduled for
the last half of the week at the
Murrctte theatre.
The story required Tom Mix to fol

TO Jump from a broken railroad track
that once had led into the window,
but was now cut off about fifteen feet
away. Below was a drop of so feet,
the track being elevated on a wooden
bridge. Mix ran along the ties and
made the long leap to the window
Tom Mix wore his regular cowboy
outfit, which made the difficult stunt
more difficult. He had to jump with
unusual force in order to break
through the window frame as well as
the glass. Had he missed the window
or failed to crash through, he would
have fallen to the rocks below.

SANDCnEEK FRIENDS
TO HAVE centenary;
EDWARDS To PREACH

COLUMBUS, Ind, July 16.-Special
centenary services in celebration of
the Tooth anniversary Of the founding
of the Sandcreek Friends church near
here will be held next Sunday.
David M. Edwards, president of
Farlham college, will deliver the an
niversary sermon.
Included in the program for the day
is an historical pageant, in which the
men and women members of the
church will worship separately, as in
the old Quaker days, with their hats
on except when preaching or praying.
Another feature Of the pageant will
be a Quaker wedding representing the
time when no civil license was re-
CURED, but instead the license was
granted by the church.
The ceremony will be the same as
was used for the wedding of the late
Mr.. and Mrs. John Hall, charter mem
bers of the church, and young
couple Of the church will represent the
principals at the wedding

The pageant will also include re-
productions of scenes and incidents of
the underground railroad" on which
a number Of Quaker homes were sta
ton and at which fugitive slaves were
given seclusion, food and shelter and
sent on their way farther north prior
to and in the first years of the civil
war
A scene to be reproduced will be
one enacted at the home of John Hall,
when owners Of runaway slaves called
at the home, and explaining that they
suspected some Of their slaves were
being harbored in the home, demand
ed permission to search. Hall replied:
II want thee to understand that thee
cannot search my home unless thou
hast warrant" whereupon the slave
= owners announced that they would get
"a warrant and went away.
Transferred During Interval.
AS it so happened runaway slaves
were secreted in the home at the time,
but while their owners. we're gone for
a warrant they were transferred to an
other station" and were never re-
captured.
When the church was organized
log structure was built for the wor-
shippers and at about the same time
log schoolhouse was built near the
church. A seminary that later gained
much educational prominence for those
times was established.
The late Willis Newsom of Sand
Creek township was one of the found
ers and charter members of the
church, and his son, the Rev. David T.

LAW ATTACKED
 BY M ADOO
DISTINGUISHES BETWEEN THE EARNED AND THE UNEARN- ED INCOME.

Washington, April 25.-RepIying as "a private citizen" to the question aire issued to all candidates for presi- dential nominations by the National Board of Farm Organizations, former Secretary McAdoo tonight outlined his position on various propositions be- ing agitated in the pre-convention campaign.
 Present tax laws, Mr. McAdoo de- clared, should be simplified and the burden of taxation "redistributed so that men who earn their incomes by the sweat of their brows and with their brains shall not be required to pay as heavy taxes as those who live an idleness and drak incomes from safe investments"
 "A distribution should be made" said he, between earned and un- earned incmoe." He declared himself opposed to all tax free bonds.
 If after two-year period of private ownership the railroads failed to function properly, Mir. McAdoo said, he would favor reopening the railroad question. He declared for a flair trial' of the new railroad law, but de- clared it 'cannot settle the railroads problem because it does not reach fundamentals"
 
 MT. McAdoo declared himself for broader publicity for operation of the farm loan system; for means to bring producers and consumers closer; for representation of agriculture on the boards and commissions "when con- sistent with public welfare" for a secretary of agriculture who under stands actual farm conditions" for reduction of farm tenantcy; for the same service and supplies for farmers organizations in interstate commerce as apply to private enterprises in the same circumstances; for regulation of monopolistic control of corporations in interstate commerce and as "abso- lutely opposed to any abridgment of the right of free speech, free press or free assembly,"

egarding fl ipdicafa

Figures recently egardlng the coal resources 01 nd indicate that the Silesian-P Polish coal beds con- tain approximately 100,OOO,0O0 900 tons of coal, sufficient to last for 1,5OO years at the rate of production which ob- tained before the war.
 The favorable geological formation of the beds and the wealth of their ex- ploitable seams make Poland logical source of supply for the balance of Europe. With proper equipment, such as that which has brought American production to such enviable figures, Poland would be able to do much to relieve the fuel and power shortage which is hampering the reconstruction of Europe's industrial life. An added factor which makes Poland's wealth of coal of increasing importance is the plenitude of labor which is available at costs which are relatively one-fifth that of similar labor in the United States.
