tan ridiculo, que 81 Supreme Consejo

Cocoanut Oil Makes
a Splendid Shampoo

II 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. Mulsifed cocoanut oil sham
poo (which. is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than anything else
you can use for shampooing, as this
cant possibly iniure the hair
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub IL in. One or two teaspoonfuls
of Mxlsihcd will make an abundance Of
rich' creamy lather, and clcanses the hair
and SCALP thoroughly. The Iather rinses
out easily, and removes evtry particle of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and il leaves
it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy 70
manage.
You can get Mulsifed coooanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store. IL is
very cheap, and a few ounces is enough TO
last everyone in the family for months
BE sure your druggist gives you Mulsifed

POLITICAL STAND
/ OF WOMEN'S LEAGUE
1t is Bipartisan and is Aiming to
Accomplish Much for Gen.
eral Good.

The Delaware branch of the League OF
Nomcn's Voters, which convenes at the
Hotel du Pont tomorrow, is bi-paItixan
in its political stand and upholds the
following planks: Child Welfare
Realizing that the hope of the nation hes
in the children of today, the citizens OF
tomorrow, We pledge ourselves to support
Adequate appropriation for the Children s
Bureau; the prohibition of child labor
throughout the United States; the pro-
lection of infant life through Federal
program for maternity and infancy care.
2.-Education. We recognize that the
appalling percentage of iliteracy among
both native and foreign born In the United
States is a blot upon our civilizatioo; the
lack of understanding of the ESSENTIALS
Of good government, a menace to our
future. We therefore advocate: federal
Department of Education; Federal aid
where necessary for the removal of Hitter
acy and for the increase of teachers
salaries; instruction in the duties and ideals
of citizenship for the youth of our land
and the newcomer to our shores.
3.-The Home of High Prices. As q
means of increasing the efficiency of the
home and reducing the cost of living we
favor: Increased Federal support for
vocational training in home economies;
such Federal regulation and supervision
of the marketing and distribution of food
as Will tend 10 eQualize and lower prices,
and the enactment and enforcement of
such other measures as will freely opdp
the channels Of trade, prevent excess pro-
hts, and eliminate unfair competition and
the control of the necessities of life.
4-Women in Gainful Occupations.
In order to promote the welfare of millions
of women engaged in gainful occupations,
we advocate: The appointment of women
IN tho Mediation and Cancellation Ser
vice Of the United States Department Of
Labor and on any industrial commissions
and tribunals which may hereafter be
created; the establishment of a joint
Federal and State employment service
with womon's departments under the
direction Of technically qualified women;
a reclaSsiication of the Federal Civic Ser
vice with the merit system of appoint
ment and promotion, free from discrimlna-
ton of the ground of sex, and with a wage
ur salary scale determined by the skill
demanded for the work and in no wise
below the cost of living as established by
official investigation.
5.-Publc Health and Morals. We
commend the effort for moral protection
of the fighting forces of the nation made
during the World War, and we urge q
continuance Of appropriations to carry on
an active campaign for the prevention of
venereal disease and for public educa-
tion IN sex hygiene.
6.-Independent Citizenship for Mar
ried Women. Believing that American
born women resident in the United States
should not forfeit their citizenship by
marriage with aliens, and that alien women
should not acquire citizenship by marriage
with Americans, but rather by meeting
the same requirements as those provided
for the naturalization of alien men. we

1t required but The touch OF finger
to set off the hoard Of munitions in
the loft Of the adobe storehouse,
nevertheless It took all he force l
could put into my thin white hand to
turn on the current. As soon as the
, deed was accomplished. / came out
of my delirium, II was as if the will
power which had carried my sick body
/ on It's awful mission had at last clear
ed my troubled brain.
I came out Of my delirium TO find
myself saying, In ten minutes" and
] was aStonished to find myself stand
ing at the door OF the haunted room.
However, 1t did not astonish me to see
the ghostly figure OF a woman moving
slowly through the moonlit spaces of
the place.
l trembled with weakness, l shlver-
ed with the cold OF q bright December
| night as / chung to the handrail of
, the outside stairway and watched the
willowy, white form OF the murdered
wife glide toward a window.
"Delirious or sane, I'm not TO be de
ceived n second time by the same old
ghost" / said to myself. In ten min
| utes, this building will blow up, and
that poor ghost is going TO be robbed
Of a habitation," 1 added. In ten
minutes
And then l realized for the first time
that unless l got away from that
doomed building at once, /, Jane
Lorimer, would be-in ten minutes
even as that white deceiving shade!
I Clutched at the handraiI and tried
TO descend the stairs which | had late
ly climbed 50 swiftly. But my muscles
were as soft as those of an infant and
my body collapsed In a heap OF the
steps.
In ten minutes, / win know all that
that poor wondering ghost knows" l
thought, but l was quite unafraid of
the prospect.
What would happen to me after
the horrible roar of the explosion?
Where would 1 be?
Far-very far-from my dear hus-
band!
That thought hurt me. and reused
me. Bob would miss me. Bob would
need me. 1 tried to call his name but
not a sound left my lips. Though l
hadn't the strength to speak, my hear
ing had grown acute. Listening for
the explosion, 1 caught the hurry of
running feet on the pavement of the
patio. l hoped prayed that no
body was coming neal he doomed
building, but I couldn't even whisper
a warning.
Half OF the ten minutes OF waiting
was gone. 1 felt sure. L opened my
eyes and looked up at a glorious star
which hung In the zenith.
This Is a queer place for a nice,
conventional, much adored properly
cared for. and perfectly respectable
girl to die, isn't it?" 1 asked the star
But l didn't want sympathy. / didn't
feel sorry for myself as q young girl
about to die is supposed to feel.
grieved for Bob's grief for me!
AS death came closer, second by
second, J thought Of the thousands
and thousands of soldiers who had
died in the war-alone-and u~nnotic-
ed except by the cold stars above
