BETTY JANE,
By Miss Ruby H. Martyr.
Copyright, 1922, by Wheeler


Syndicate, Inc.)
Betty Strengthened the dilapidat-
ed window shade and got the wild
disarrangement of the hired room
into some order before she sat dow n
on the edge Of the humpy bod and
began to peel the orange she had
brought for Elsie.
Il nearly died last night" said
Elsie slowly. Believe me, / was
scared here all alone"
Betty Jane braced her stout
young heart to venture upon the
thin ice of personalities.
Cant you run out to your home
for a visit? I'll hold down the extra
work your being away would make
at the office"
There amt no such country
place attached to me, grille. The
| last of my folks died when l was
in high school and I parked myself
independent under the bright
lights"
The glaring tragedy of that
dwarfed Betty James personal diff
| ficulties. Because life was being
difficult just now for Betty Jane.
She had come up to the city Joyous
~, bound by the promise to send the
/ home folks certain part of the sal
airy which had seemed fabulous to
her farm knowledge Of living ex-
penditures. It took courage to re-
main bingham clad in the midst Of
silks and vniles and linens. She
had never imagined that food could
cost so much. And her tiny room
was in a hive of its kind.
To the amazement of the other
office girls this tanned, well-cOv-
cred, shy Betty Jane took" with
| the Office men. The girls were
huffy about that and watched her
with cat-like eyes while they stood
aloof. It wasn't easy for Betty
Jane to have them gtggling about
secrets she could not share and She
had never imagined that such ma.
terial for tragedy as Elise unfold;
ed lay near their pert souls. Elsie
needed food and sunshine and home
happiness, and was without q dozen
cents to purchase them. Betty
Jane Just couldn't imagine how
dreadful the world would be with
out home folks.
You're going right straight out
to our farm" she told Elsie. you'll
have to get we'll there"
Because Elsie loved her own *
istencs and knew she was likely 4
die without some help, she &C.
guessed In Betty James plan. Fol
the moment she was too terrified
by the fear Of death to think ol
Michael. And Michael had beou
gravitating 20 toward Betty Jans
that Elsie's departure was hardly
an incident to him.
1t was when one Of her school
girl sisters wrote that Nat had
taken Elsie to the county fair IN

You read in The Argus Saturday that the
Hill Furniture company had awarded con-

house property, involving an expenditure Of
100000 and providing for one of the finest
furniture houses in this section. That must
have been bad news for the vice vultures.

The wet and dry question does not enter

COMMISSION FOR "SILENCER-

Sometimes public leaders when at a
loss to know what to do, or knowing,
are afraid to do it, suggest a COM
mission or a conference. Sometimes
from this eventuatcs public opinion
demanding that something be done.
That may be the result il the pro-
posed international commission to
investigate Turkish cruelties is
brought into existence, though such
a supposition is extremely doubtful.
Already there is ample proof. En-
cryone knows about Turkish cruel
ties; even the Turk is fiendishly
grinning over his self-appointed task
of killing any weak and helpless
Christians that may cross his patti
or occupy some place the Turk
wants. An international effort a few
short years ago defeated the Turks
ct war, had every opportunity to i'm
pose justice and didn't do it because
of conflicting selfish interests. Those
| conflicting interests still conflict.
i England wishes to avoid trouble with
her Mohammedan subjects, France
wishes TO secure her investments, all
of Which is just as influential today
as on the day the Armistice was
signed. So no one need get excited
though Austen Chamberlain has
urged the British House of Com
mons to try an international COM
mission to investigate. The appalling
truth about Turkish atrocities cried
to the heavens, hence the suggestion
Of a commission, we presume. There
is, however, the faintcst possible
chance of some relief in this way if
the proposed commission is not per-
mitted, to be "silencer" What
many English people would like to
see, no doubt, is Uncle Sam, he hav-
ing no Mohammedan subjects, take
the job of regulating the Turks.

Be Careful What You Wash
Your Child'S Hair With

IT You want to keep your child
hair in good condition, be careful what
you wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much; alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and is very harmful. Mulsified cocoa
nut oil shampoo (Which is pure and en-
tlrely greaseless), is much better than
anything else you can use for sham
poolng, as this can't possibly injure
the hair.
Simply put two or three teaspoon
RUS of Mulsified in a cup or glass with
a !ttte warm water, then moisten 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 out
easily. ard removes every particle of
dust, dirt, dandls:T and excess oil.
The ha.r cries quickly and evenly, and
il leaves il fine and silky. bright, fluffy
and easy 10 manage.
You can get Muls;ced cocoanut oil
shampoo A. any drug store. 1t is very
cheap and 4 few oInces is enough to
last everyone in the family for months.
BE sure your druggist gives you Null
