garded as one of the greatest harness

Her masts and all her spars are

The upright parts OF the nickel

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much aIkslli. This dries

is very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut

tirely greaseless). Is much better
than anything else you can use for
shampooing, a. this can't possibly in.

Simply moisten your hair with va
ter rub It in. One or two teaspoon
fuls will make an abundance Of rich,
creamy lather, and cleanses the hair

rinses out easily. and removes every
particle of dust. dirt, dandruff and

and evenly. and it leaves 1t fine and

Wislander Barred
From Olympic Meet
BY Associated Press.

Antwerp, May Wislander, the
all around Swedish athlete who was
second to Thorpe in the 1912 Olym-.
pic games as individual champion.
has met with the same fate as Thorpe
from competition in the
1920 Olympiad. for his refusal to ac-
cept the prizes won by Thorpe but
awarded to Wislander when Thorpe
was declared a professional, accord
ing to Swedish athletes who attended
the Olympic ice events here.
Wislander has steadily declined to
accept the medals and statuettes on
the ground that they were not his,
but Thorpe's by right of victory and
these awards still remain in the
hands of the committee at Stockholm.
For refusing to accept the commit.
tees rulings, Wislander has been
barred from Olympic competitions.
Officials ir c"nrge of the Olympic
games to be held In August. have so
far found it impossible to arrange a
straightaway at the stadium for the
200 meter race-the nearest Olympic
equivalent to the American 220 yard
dash,
The maximum possible straight
track in the stadium is only slightly
above hundred yards and the 200
meter race will probably be run with
one gradual elipitical curve in the
course.
Athletes who wish to train for the
Olympic games at Antwerp would
find training in low altitude prefer
able. Antwerp is only few feet,
perhaps 6, above the sea level and
the climate is generally about that Of
London-some fog and bit of murk-
mess.
AS to what effect this climate
would have upon athletes trained in
high altitude, none of the. atmos-
pheric experts in Belgium ventures
prediction. During August, at
which time the games are held. the
weather at Antwerp is usually warm
and perhaps as dry as any other time
of the year. Records show that rain
is comparatively rare during this
month.
II the American authorities con-
sent, the American army rifle and
pistol will be used by at least one
European team--the Belgians-in the
craftsmanship events of the Seventh
Olympiad, to be held at Waterloo.
