A NEW WORD has been coined at the United States
N Senate anance committee -"dye-gyper" 1t
has a peculiar interest to Delawareans
These "dye-gypers,' according TO testimony at the
finance committee hearings are INSCRIPTIONS manufac-
turers Of dyes who Willingly unwttingly are aiding
the Germans in their propaganda against American
dyes
According to witness, Philadelphia dyer dye
gyper' is dealer who buys a barrel or two OF full
strength dyes and by dluting ten barrels Dyes
he said must be used full strength proper
will be obtained The diluted dyes are peddled to
dyers OF certain materials which, when sold to the
sumer, fade when submitted to the sunlight or
water.
was further brought out at the hearings that America
today is furnishing foreign countries with
dyes principally European buyers. England France,
Italy and Japan, however closed to American manu-
facturers-Engand for ten yearsthe purpose In these
four countries being to develop their own dye industries
as essential in time for the manufacture Of poisonous
gases and hgh explosives OF the larger nations Amer
lea and China alone open TO the big German pro-
ducers
Al this talk about the dyes being superior to
those made in America pro bunco pubco and not pro
bono pubico, Marietta manufacturer testified ut is
al German propaganda This country to round up
these dye-gypers and until we do that America will con-
tnue to hear complaints about her poor dyes
Echo OF further German propaganda against American
dyes heard from nearly every witness, testfynl
that American gold had built up industry an,
now the Germans were trying to break down the Ameri

winter, il may be due to the fact
that there are more dogs on the
streets then than during the cold
weather.
The fear aroused by this disease
is well founded and is a heritage Of
the centuries. Just as we do, the
barbarians scurried to safety when
mad dog was about. The disease
has always meant certain death
until the memorable work OF Pas
teur gave to the world a treatment
that has proved successful in pre-
venting IT,
A lack OF accurate knowledge in
the past has led to much speculation
and conjecture as to the nature OF
this disease. In recent years careful
Investigations have brought to light
the fact that it is a definite disease
due to a specific infection.
The germ that causes rabies is
lpresent in the saliva of a rabid ami.

PINE STREET VS..

To the Editor OF The Evening Jour
nal.
Sir:-Win II be asking too much
to have put this little letter in your
paper II is my Views of the Pine
Street bridge question given in re-
sponse to a little article written by
John S. Hamilton in yesterdays Star.
First-Have any bids been asked
or any designs made in regard 10 the
bridge? Did not the state Legis-
lative grant a bond issue FOR the
bridge? Has not n committee OF
men viewed the sites and said we
need a bridge at Pine street? Has
not our county engineer given an
opinion in favor OF the bridgeg
Second--Mr. Hamilton forgets
that a city or town is built Of streets
and alleys. There are very few men
who own their homes in the section
referred TO as being the place where
intelligence would spend the peo-
pies money in improvements. That
the section to be accommodated by
the future Pine street bridge is
largely composed of home owners
who are only fighting for their rights
and a convenience needed to allow
an expansion OF their neighborhood.
Third-Mr Hamilton writes that
there have been other plans for the
Improvement of this section.

ToDAY's AID TO BEAUTY

Hair is by far the most conspic-
uous thing about us and is proba-
bly, the most easily damaged by bad
or careless treatment II we are very
careful in hair washing. we will have
virtually no hair troubles. An es-
pecially fine shampoo for this wea-
ther, one that brings out all the ma
tural beauty Of the hair; that dis
solves and entirely removes all
dandruff, excess oil and dirt; can
easily be used at trifiing expense by
simply dissolving a teaspoonful OF
canthrox (which you can get at any
druggist's) in a cup of hot water.
This makes a full cup OF shampoo
iiquid-enough so II Is easy to ap-
ply II to all the hair instead of just
the top of the head. This chemically
dissolves all impurities and creates n
soothing. cooling lather. Rinsing leaves
the scalp spotlessly clean, soft and

tiuffiness which makes II seem much
heavier than IL is. After a cmthnox
