MOVIE ACTRESSES AND
THEIR HAIR
Use Canthrox)

Did II 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
a simple mixture by putting
teaspoonful of Canthrox (Which
they get from the druggisD in
a cup, OF hot water and applying
this Instead Of soap. This full
cup Of shampoo liquid is enough
30 It Is easy to apply II to all
the hair instead Of just the top
of the head. After it's use, the
hair dries rapidly with uniform
color. Dandruff, excess oil and
dirt are dissolved and entirely
disappear. The hair is so fluffy
that It looks much heavier than
II is, Its luster and softness are
delightful.

instance, who can easily be called
one of the few great English etch-
ers OF today and man whose work
is well known to the architects in
America, has announced his inten-
ton Of leaving in September for
America.
"I am greatly interested" says
Walcot, "in the possibilities that the
films offer. more especially now that
there seems to be some wish for bet

be more interesting to experiment
with than a fine production of the
ancient Roman period of italian his

UNPAID CHINESE
|. THREATEN LIFE
. OF NEW REGIME
Only Four Employees In Twen-
ty.three Bureaus
Paid Up.
by HARRY l.. ROGERS,
international News Service.

These are sorry days for govern.
ment employees in China. Not only
are they in constant danger OF los
ing their jobs entirely. as one faction
rises. smites It's opponent and looks
with envious eyes upon Peking. but
they run very substantial risk OF
not being paid even II they remain
In the service.
Out Of twenty.three departments
Of government there are only four
employees of which have their salar-
les paid up to date, according to ad-
vices reaching here from Peking. A
table which has just been made pub
lie in the Chinese capital shows that
some government workers have re-
ceiyed no pay for nearly two years,
while others have been compelled to
resort to strikes in order to obtain
their money.
The general staff heads the list
with back salaries unpaid for more
than werty-two months, employees
Of the ministry and marine have not
been paid in six months, and those
in the ministry of war are five
months In arrears.
Soldiers Pay In Arrears.
The most annoying feature Of the
situation from the government 8
point of view, is that the workers go
on strike with great frequency in at
tempts to enforce payment Of what
Is due them. While the government
occasionally Is able to persuade it's
employees to go back to work upon
partial payment of salaries due, In u
ma jority OF cases these payments
are so small as to convince the
worker he has little chapce of catch
ing up. For the most part the em-
ployes return to their desks, satisfied
II they can exc q bare livelihood, as
there is little chance of bettering
their condition. tS
Situation is Bad.
The situation, according to the re-
port, Is particularly bad in the min
istry OF education, where teachers
periodically go on strike for several
months at a time in an effort to col
lect their back pay. Soldiers and po-
lice, especially the latter, seem to
fare considerably better than the av-
erage government worker, for ex.
perience has shown that when they
are not paid they take matters into
their own hands, looting houses,
shops ana even pillaging whole
cities when there appears to be no
other convenient method of making
up the deficit. Consequently the gov.
ernment has found 1t advisable to
keep this class of employe contented,
even at the expense Of other classes
Of workers.

THE RIVER SITUATION.

began to fall gradually as q. result

Des CLASSES, until it reached 35.5
has remained almost stationery at
that level for the past three days.
The 'sacking' Of the levee in front
of the Sims property in Faubourg Ia
Pipe, which was begun last Satur-
day, was completed in the early part
of the week, and proved very effect
i've in checking the seepage and rein
forcing the embankment. 1t did not
require near as many sacks of earth
to do the work as was at first eX-
pected.
The other seepage points in the
faubourg and below, as we'll as back
of the power house have b+en made
perfectly safe ard those charged
with the work as well as the people
generally feel reassured over the
improvement in the situation.
The levees at other points in the
parish are reported in good condi-
| zion, and with the river falling rapid
at points above Red River Landing,
which fall will soon be effectively felt
here, the belief is general that the
crisis has passed; that the levees will
