THE UNKNOWN soLDIER
Rv NJ. c. LoueH.

BY NJ. c. LoUGH.
The unknown soldier lies under the
Capitol dome
While his unknown mother silen|y
weeps at home.
The unknown father brushes away
the uubidden tear
AS he thinks of the ashes in the
flower.covered bier.
The unknown sister remembers
the wonderful day
When her stalwart brother marched
proudly away.
The unknown sweetheart, over
whelmed with sorrow
Is sad today and will be sad1er
tomorrow.
She cannot forget the sweet words
at parting
Nor can she hold back the hot tears
from starting,
Her burden seems heavier than that
of the rest.
OF the high hopes Of life she gave
up the best.
We all pause a moment as we think
OF the day
When this boy and others Vent

MOVIE ACTRESSES AND
THEIR HAIR

Did it ever occur to you that every
movie actress you have seen has lovely
hair, while the most popular count
their curls as their chief beauty? In
fact, many are leading ladies just be-
cause of their attractive looks. Inquiry
among them discloses the fact that
they bring out all the natural beauty
of their hair by careful shampooing,
not with any soap or makeshift, but
with simple mixture by putting
teaspoonful of canthrox (Which they
get from the druggist) in a cup OF
hot water and applying this instead
Of soap. This full cup of shampoo
liquid is enough so it is easy to apply
it to all the hair instead of just the
top of the head. After its use, the hair
dries rapidly with uniform color.
Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear. The
hair is so fluffy that it looks much
heavier than it is; its luster and soft
ness are delightful. Send &c to cover

REALLY FLOWERS OF SPEECH
Sayings. Witty and Wise, That Are
Worth Being Preserved in
an Anthology.

{ Prof. Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch.
in the course of his lively lectures
ION the Art of Reading" gives some
examples Of Irish peasants sayings
with the large simplicity, the cadence.
the accent of Scriptural speech. The
best is the benediction bestowed upon
one of the two authors of the incom-
parable Irish r. NJ" by an old wom-
an in Skibbereen: "Sure ye're always
laughing That We may laugh in the
sight of the glory of heavenl" The
writer once thought of making an an
thology of such wild flowers of way
side speech. He would have included
in it some far-traveled sayings, such
as that of the freighter in the alkaline
districts Of Alberta, who said, point
ing with his whip to IAN intensely blue
lake on the horizon, 'Bitter as dy-
ing mans sweat is that same water"
and the perfect definition of ghost
implied in the words of Newfound-

upon thousands of distressing cases.

ROOM FOR YOUNGER CRITICS
They Have Place in the World and
Duty That Is Well Worth
Performing.

The younger critics. says Haywood
Broun, are the lineal descendants of
that little child in Andersons fairy
tale who, when the emperor was be-
ing made a spectacle of and all the
world was being fooled by the sharp
tailor, refused to be quiet and cried
out, HE hasn't got anything on" These
young enthusiasts who have no posi-
lions TO lose and no dignities to live
up to go about pointing to all our
literary emperors and calling attention
to the scantiness of their attire Of
greatness, and refuse to be silenced
by their scandaliZed or terrified elders.
Good sense bids us welcome their hon
est gaze at even the sacrosanct per-
sons. 1t can't hurt anything really
fine, and it's about time we came out
of some Of our illusions. William AL
len White sized it up about right from
the conservative point of view when
he said in praising main Street.: "Of
course, I'm on the other side of the
street myself, but that's just the rea-
son why I like this book. 1t gives us
fellows something to answer"

PROPOSES FEDERAL CONTROL

Westinghouse Johnson, Re-

resolution proposing constitutional
amendment to give Congress authority
to regulate state primaries. 1t is de-
signed to meet the situation arising
from the decision of the supreme curt
in the Newberry case that Congress
was without power to regulate pri-

his seat in the Senate, following an
nulment in the supreme court of his
conviction in Michigan of violation of
the federal corrupt practices act. He
