ENGLAND LOSES TRADE.

The United States and Japan have taken, ever since the beginning of the war, virtually all of the big ex- port trade which the Central Pow CTS had with India, says an official report, which adds that, undoubted- ly, American competition in India has come to stay.
 The place of the Central Powers has been taken by the United States so far as iron and steel, machinery, hardware, and instruments are con- cerned. Japan has taken the trade heretofore held by the Central Pow CTS in such articles of electrical accessories, copper, paper, glass ware, textiles, beer. and clothing. The bazaar trade in cheap, showy goods has been entirely captured by Japan.
 The primary reason for the in- creased shipments of American manufactured goods to India has been the inability of the established Brit ish exporters to supply the market. owing to war conditions. says the report. Improved shipping facilities between the United States and India are declared to have very largely contributed to the expansion. ...-
 "There is no doubt" adds the report, "that American competition in India has come to stay. A de- termined effort is being made to secure a large share of the trade of this valuable market in steel and steel work, machinery of all kinds, including machine tools, mill stores and hardware; canned provisions motor-cars, lorries and cycles, and lumber"
 Japan now occupies the second place in India's import and export trade. It is in Great Britain's sta pie trade of India, namely cotton yarns and piece goods that the most serious inroads have been made and that Japanese competi- tion in the future is expected to be most permanent and insistent.

LODGE POLE PINE MAY
 BE MADE INTO PAPER

HELENA, Mont.--State Forester J. c. Van Hook thinks newspaper publishers of this section err greatly in not going vigorously after the oft-broached proposition of making paper of lodge pole pine. There is little commercial demand for this timber and forests of it, he says, go to waste.
 Experts are said to have declared repeatedly that there are good pros- poets that the lodge pole pine would produce newsprint paper. The state forests are largely in lodge pole pine.
 Mir. Van Hook, in recent state Iment, urged the press of Montana to combine and go into the question.

Diamonds have been advancing
since 1890. They will never be
lower. Just twice as many dia-
monds were mined in 1918 as were
taken from the earth last year.
The most important feature in
the buying of diamond is the dea-

CLUES POINT TO WOMAN AS
 MURDERER OF J. D. ELTELL

New York, June 1i-Jeaiousy over a woman or vengeance for heavy losses sus- tained at cards-which. if either. furnish ed the motive for the murder here last Friday of Joseph Et Elvel. wealthy turf man and whist wizard"
 The police tonight were nuctuating be- tween these theories in their efforts to solve a crime which they admitted was the most bafhing they had encountered in years.
 Clues point to the woman theory, ae- cording to the majority of the detectives working on the case. They claimed this theory was strengthened today when it was learned that Marie Larson, ElweIrs housekeeper, had found in the bedroom of his handsome home, where he was shot, a woman's silk undergarment This garment is reported to belong to q New York society woman, whose name is be- ing withheld pending her examination.
 Conviction that the husband of this woman, an ex-army man, killed the whist expert was expressed by some detectives. The size of the fatal bullet and the fact that it had a steel jacket point to the fact that 2 government automatic pistol was used, they said. A .45 is too large weapon for popular civilian use, they explained, and the steel jacket indicated
 
 matic.
 On the other hand. the police were re. 1 luctant to discard the theory that , 1 gambler broken at whist by an inter. national authority on the game may hay, done the shooting. They sought to trac' the source of a report that such gam l bier had threatened to kill Elwell, snS in continuing today examination of 50 ciety women. sporting men and prorsi nent figures in New York's financial dis trict. where Elwell occupied a broker ! office, devoted most of their questions L "big play" in which he had engaged. Stories of ElwelTs ''killings''-onoe es timated by his wife, from whom he va separated, as high as $S0.ooo one evenini I-were contrsdicted by Wilbur C. wh'S head, associated with the banking firm o E. N. Bretiung & Co.

Use C,ocoanut Oil
For Washing Hail

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. Mulsifed cecoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and en- tirely greaseless), is much better than anything else you can use for sham pooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair.
 Simply Inoisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoenfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The father rinses out easily. and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruft and ex- cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly. and 1t leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man. age.
 You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo at most any drug store. It l is very cheap, and few ounces is
 enough to last everyone in the family fors months.
