you can use.
Two or three teaspoonfuls of Null
sifled in cup or glass with a
little warm water is sufficient to
cleanse the hair and scalp thor

with water and rub it in. 1t makes
an abundance of rich creamy lath-

DRAFT RECORD
SECRECY UPHELD

Washington, Jan. 1.-The secrecy OF
the selective draft records Of the war
Department was upheld today by the
Court Of Appeals of the District OF Co
lumbia, which reversed ruiing OF tiie
lower court holding in contempt AdJu-
tant- General Peter c. Harris because
he refused to produce such records III
a court proceeding.
For the present at least AdJu1ahe-
General Harris will not have to go 70
iail or pay fine on the contempt
charge. However it was announced,
following the decision of the appellate
court. that the controversy will be car
1ied TO the Supreme Court of the
United States.
Some months ago Justice Siddons,
of the District Supreme Court, ad-
Judged General Harris in contempt
for refusing to produce an ai1ldaVit
comprising part of the selectlVe ser,
vice record of soldier This record
was desired in connection with d.
vorce case concerning Harry Il. Walsh
and his wife, Mary Walsh, pending
in the Ohio courts.
The husband sought to get the afil-
davit into the record of the divorce
proceeding, contending that 1t CON
tanned statements at variance with
certain allegations made by the Wlte
in the divorce petition. AdJutant-Gen-
eral Harris declined to produce the
record before notary public or the
District of Columbia courts, and JUS
tice Siddons held him in contempt.
General Harris appeared in court and
Immediately appealed on the ground
that law forbids publicity OF the draft
records of the War Department.
In this view of secrecy the Court OF
Appeals concurrcd today. 1t held that
so long as the wife, Mrs. Walsh, maker
of the affidavit in question. elects to
avail herself of the protection the law
affords the affidavit need not be pro
duced, even at the demand Of the SOL
der husband.
Attorneys for the husband, Ansell
4 Bailey, 7. T. Ansberry and Charles
c. Caldwell, announced their inten-
ton to take the case Immediately to
the Supreme Court.
1T is our purpose" they said, ito
appeal this case from the Court of APP
peals of the District of Columbia to
the Supreme Court of the United
States"
Major-General Harris is brother
of Senator William j. Harris, Of
Georgia, and regular army officer of
many years service. His refusal to
produce the selective draft records
and consequent citation for contempt
attracted much attention and consti-
tuted a ties case to compel production
Among the attorneys in the case
are two former army officers, Col Ed
ward S. Baily and Brig Gen. Samuel
I. Ansell who were attorneys for
Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, the draft
evader. General Ansell, as judge
vocate- general, was in more or less
controversy while occupying that post
because of his protest against the
courts system in the army and
the severity of its sentences, and his
resignation was partly due to his de-
termination to fight the courts mar
tial system from the outside of the
service.
