Sim Fein Hopes
To Avoid Split
Over Free State
Convention Votes to Have OPP
posing Leaders Get Together
for Settlement.

DUBLIN. Feb. 21-There is a pos
sibility that a split in the Sim Fem
over the Anglo-Irish treaty will be
avoided. The Ard Fheis, national
Sim Fein convention. which met at
the Mans on House Tuesday 20 de-
fine the attitude of the Sim Fem
clubs on the treaty whether for a
free state or a republic, adjourned
until Wednesday with instructions
TO the leaders of the two parties
to come together and devise a plan
to keep the Sim Fein organization
united,
The unexpected outcome was due
TO the direct views Of the meeting
in general and was not prompted
by the leaders.
Richard Mulcahy. minister OF de-
Tense and head Of the army. framed
a resolution directing that the lead
ers meet Tuesday and seek a basis
of agreement for SUBMISSION Wed
nasday
Several leading members of both
sides questioned later. expressed
doubt as to possibility Of accommo-
dation. Mr.. Collins. however, was
strongly Of the opinion, which he
voiced forcibly. that the situation
would so improve that three months
hence united decisions, impossible
now. might then be reached.
Despite the long. drawn-o out and
arduous session in the cold and
draughty hall. the general tone Of
the convention was unexpectedly
harmonious. II is unquestioned that
the rank and file are earnestly de-
sirous to prevent a split and every
move toward the continuation of
unity was heartily applauded. Just
before adjournment both Mr. De-
Valera and Mr.. Collins admitted
they had entered the meeting be-
lieving a compromise was impossible
and that the attitude of the dele
gates SURPRISED them.
So strong was the sentiment for
unity that a priest, WHO suggested
that the party leaders should be
deposed if necessary to keep the
organization intact received ap-
plause.

Victims Met Death,
Not Through Agony
But InStantaneOuSLy

NORFOLK, Va. Feb. 81
Masks OF men for the most part
lay incrusted within a charcoal
shell OF blackened flesh. 1t was
evident. however, that death had
come TO some Of them. not
through agony, but instantane-
ously In almost every case the
features retained a strange calm.
In a room apart lay figure
unburned Here was a hooded
Hercules-a giant OF a man, his
skin still suggesting the pink Of
the splendid fellow he must have
been in the moment when he
was called upon 10 make the in
slant decision. He made it. While
others waited to fall with the
great bag, this man leaped. He
died, but his people will know
him at glance.

SENATE LEADERS
PATH FOR
PACT APPROVAL
Blanket Reservation to Cover
All Disputed Points Be-
lieved Acceptable.
MAY STOP PACT FIGHTS
General Acceptance of Pro-
posal Will Lead to Quick
Ratification.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 21.-Admin-
istration leaders in the senate clear
ed away many of the obstacles in
the pathway Of the four-power Pa
cific treaty Tuesday by indicating
that they would accept without a
fight "a blanket reservation drafted
to cover the objections of those who
oppose unreserved ratification.
AS presented 20 foreign relations
committee by Sen. Brandegee, re-
publican, Conn, and virtually agreed
to by those in charge of the treaty.
the reservation provides that the
United States accepts mo legal or
moral" obligation to maintain" the
Pacific interests of any other power
and that none of the adjustments
reached under the treaty provisions
are to be binding upon this givern-
ment except by the consent Of con
gress.
Leaders Approve Reservation.
The administration senator's on
the committee, including Sen. Lodge
of Mass. republican leader. and
member of the American delegation
TO the arms conference are said 10
show any approval Of the proposal
during the two-hour committee de-
bate, although they held all reser-
vations were wholly unnecessary.
Sen. BOrah, republican, Idaho, and
Johnson, republican, Calf, were
said to have been consulted in the
preparation of the reservation, but
it was not apparent Tuesday night
whether they would vote for ratif-
cation with the reservation attached.
Ii was evident. however. that con
siderable debate on the senate floor
was certain to precede a ratification
vote, regardless of what action
might be taken in the committee.
Procedure Undecided.
At sessions Wednesday the COM
miutee leaders hope 20 complete con
sideration Of the treaty and perhaps
formally adopt a recommendation
that the treaty be ratified. It was
uncertain whether reservation would
be offered in committee. several
democratic and republican members
being undecided whether TO prolong
further the committee discussions
or reserve their views for presenta-
tion TO the senate itself
Should the treaty be ordered
formally reported Wednesday. it is
considered unlikely that II actually
viii be brought into the senate until
all the arms conference treaties also
have been given committee approval.
II is planned 10 keep the committee
hard at work. however, and to re-
port the entire group Of interna-
tional agreements as soon as pos
sible.
The only pronounced opposition
to the Brandegee reserva ton at
Tuesdays committee meeting was
said by members to have come from
Sen. KeIiogg, republican. Minnesota.
who insisted that qualifications were
unnecessary and could only be a
source of mbarra ssment.

The best thing for steady use is
Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo (which
is pure and greaselessl, and is better
than anything else you can use.
Two or three teaspoonfuls OF Muisi-

water is sufficient to cleanse the hair
and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten
the hair with water and rub 1t in. II
