is not derived from resemblance to
any conventional tank. In England,
when the tank experiments were
started, a big enclosure was con-
structed and no one was allowed in it
except workment and others engaged
in the work. Civilians were kept a
safe distance by the circulation of a
story that terrible explosives and poi
son gases We're being manufactured
in the enclosure. As the work pro-
crossed it became necessary to invent
a better story to account for the ex-
istence of the plant. So, very clan
destinely, it was allowed to become
known from the war office that oil
tanks for Russia were being manu-
featured in great numbers. From this
story the name tank" came to be ap-
piled to the new form of armored car
before their use in battle, and the
name stuck-The Home Sector:

Dead from the Neck Up.

The total lack of comprehension be-
tween the American negro and his AL
gerian brother will go down in history
as one of the outstanding features of
the war.
There was, for instance, the case of
the dusky stevedore at Brest and one
of the colored French troops on duty
there. Long and laboriously the Yank
tried to establish some means of lin
guistic communication, but there was
no response.
Then a brilliant thought struck the
boy from Georgia. He produced a
pair of ivory cubes and rolled them
enticingly under the Algerian's nose.
Intelligence still registered zero.

 If Japan and America continue to deal with each other frankly, he said, no diff ference would arise which could not be adjusted in the forum of truth.

 Japan is a country with a history of 5000 years. The Japanese, consequently are fond of talking about the past. For instance the port of ShimonoselSi, where you first touched the shores of old Ja- pan, reminds us of a deed of generosity on the part of your country that makes us feel grateful

Hair Curling Troubles
 Are Over-Read This!

Have you heard about the newest way to keep the hair in curl? If not. by all means cut out these simple directions and try this wonderful method. Procure a new tooth brush and few of plain liquid sil- merine from your druggist. Apply enough of the liquid with the brush to moisten the hair from root to tip just before doing it up. You will be quite astonished when you find you have such lovely waves and curls they appear altogether natural instead of having been artificialiy acquired. Best of all, the wavness will last very much longer than it would otherwise.
 Your hair, of course, will have more "body" and flufiness than where the dry ing, singeing, waving iron is used. It will appear glossier and livelier. for silmerine has proved equally desirable a dressing for the hair. You'll find it pleasant to use, and it will leave no sticky, greasy or streaky trace-Adv.
