Boone University
 Claims First Honor

Chicago, June 2.-Credit for organ izing the first Boy Scout troop in China is claimed by Boone University. a Protestant Episcopal institution at Wuchang, representative of which, Rev. Alfred A. Gilman, has arrived in this country In the Scout troops of the school the boys of official and wel1-to-do families are taught to use their hands in fire drills, bridge and hut making, fence and tree climbing. cooking and tent making, according to a statement from the Department of Missions of the Protestant Episco- pal church.
 During the last few years" Mr. Gilman said in telling about the uni- versity. the international and inter nal political problems of China have been source of great trouble to those in charge of educational insti- tutions. No Chinese are better in formed concerning the facts and the opinions of leading foreigners and Chinese than the students of Boone and similar institutions. They have heard their teachers and the daily newspapers say that the outstanding failings of the Chinese are cowardice and callousness. When, then, these men try to be brave and outspoken and to feel for their country and their oppressed fellows, there is de- we'll mean trouble for a missionary institution carried on under for eign flag in the city of an oppressive, ignorant, military dictator.
 Practically all are agreed that the first student strike was one of the most effective demonstrations of uni fled national feeling that have ever been exhibited. It is also agreed that the second strike was mistake. bo4ng engineered for private political purposes. This second strike almost resulted tn a tragedy at Boone through a misunderstanding between the faculty and the students. but it finally became an exhibition of the ability of our students to judge wise ly of a whole situation. For the last two years the judicial reaction of the Boone men to our various crisis has shown the great value of their train ing.
 ''At the Boone Debating society, in reference to political and social ques- ttons, the thought is constantly ex- pressed that immediate or showy re- suits are not desired. but rather what Is sought is the lasting good of the whole people,
 Rev. Y. K. Yen, father of the pres ent Chinese foreign minister w. w. Yen. was one of the founders of Boone.

indicate attendance of large delega- tions of American business men dur ing the exposition
 The Governor of Louisiana was said to have indicated his intention of appointing a special committee to attend the celebration as repre- sentative of the state. New Orleans business interests were said to have taken the leadership in the formation of a Mississippi valley delegation and were ready, it was announced, to challenge all other regions to make a better showing at the exposition New Orleans claims to be the Lat in American gateway and has particular interest in the coffee trade
 Secretary Hughes has requested Congress to authorize the appoint ment by the President of a special delegation to visit the exposition on a. mission of courtesy.

Flames Government
 for Bad Business

Sydney, N. & W, June 2.-A re- adjustment of all factors contribut- ing to industry in Australia, so that selling costs may be decreased, is necessarily at present. according to the conclusions reached by the recent congress Of Chambers of Commerce in Hobart
 The president of the associated Chambers of Commerce of Australia declared that many of Australta's s financial difficulties are se1f-imi) osed and due to unnecessary government interference that amounts to a pas sion for controlling business, for the creation of new government depart ments and the mobilization of armies of employees until one out of every nine adults of the population is on a government payroll.
 "A debtor nation like Australia has to export its products. in excess of imports in order to meet overseas ob- legations! The occasion calls for a resolve on the part of employer and emp1oye to recognize their mutual in terests in giving to each other and to the comm nifty a, fair and square deal" he concluded

OPENING OF BRIDGE
 CAUSES MUCH DELAY

The opening of the draw bridge in Bridgeport has been a time worn ex- s-cuse for many people for being late in the morning for work Again. this m orning some excuses were necessary elby many East SiGe residents who were compelled to cross the Congress 5 street bridge
 At just a few minutes after this
 morning. long before the tug and barge ii was guiding, began to ap- proach the railroad lift bridge. the Con Sress street bridge was lifted and traffic held up need lessly for five rnin- utes. At most any other time dur ing the day this is inexcusable, at o'clock in the morning when people rare hurrying to work this is most un- pleasant at least the comments of those who saw this mornings per \ forInance would indicate that they thought so.

ATTEMPTS MADE LAST NIGHT TO
ROB STATE BANKS AT CORDOVA
AND PORT BYRON ARE FAILURE

Cordova, Feb. 21.-Attempts made
last night to rob the state banks at
Cordova and Port Byron failed.
Both banks were entered by
unknown robbers who gave up the
attempt when they failed to open
the vaults. The job is thought to
have been the work of amateurs, as
crude methods were used in enter
ing the buildings and in trying to
force the vaults.
No definite time for the attempted
robbery can be set by either village
as the discovery of both robberies
was not made until this morning.
when people passed the banks on
their way to work. The fact that
the methods used in both jobs are
similar indicates that the same
persons made both attempts
At Cordova the thieves gained en-
trance to the bank by forcing the
back window open with a railroad
spike. The combination knob of the
bank vault was knocked of and
officials are waiting the arrival of
insurance agents before forcing the
door open. The cashier. Frank E.
Bruner, stated that he was certain

Be Careful What
You Wash Your
Child's Hair With

If you want to keep your child s
hair in good condition, be careful
what you wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie, and is very harmful. Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo (which is
pure and entirely greaselss), is
much better than anything else you
can use for shampooing, as this
can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply put two or three teaspoon
fuls of Mulsified in a cup or glass
with a little warm water, then mois-
ten the hair with water and rub it
in. 1t Will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lather, and cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses cut easily, and re-
moves every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excess oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and il
leaves it fine and silky, bright,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo at any drug store 1t
is very cheap. and a few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the fam
lily for months. Be sure your drug
gist gives you Mulsified.-(A dVer-

that the robbers had not gained en-
trance into the vault. ]. C. Mackey
or Cordova, is president of the
bank
At Port Byron the robbers en-
tered by the front door, forcing it
open with a crowbar taken from the
railroad station. The first door of
the vault was blown off but the time
lock on the second door evidently
baffled the visitors as they did not
get it open. The vault has been
installed recently. The officers OF
the Port Byron bank are L. J. W.
Simonson president, Frank Schafer
vice president and cashier and Earl
Wendt, assistant cashier.
This is the fifth attempt made to
rob the Port Byron bank during the
last Is years. Two of the attempts
were successful and two as well as
the one last night, proved failures.
No attempt was made to enter the
other bank in Port Byron nor any
of the stores or business houses in
either of the two cities. No clues as
to the identity of the visitors have
been found, but officials are making
a strenuous attempt to round up the
yeggmen.
