HAVE LITTLE TO WEAR
Women of Odessa Not Worried by
 Fashions

odessa, April 25.-Spring fashions do not bother the women of odessa. They have no new fashion journals nor cloth with which to make new dresses. Women sometimes have a hat and a few yards of rough cloth to clothe themselves.
 Underclothing is an unknown quantity. So are stockings for the unlucky. Women who have cloaks or furs wear them in daytime, but at night leave them home. If they did not they would be robbed in the darkened streets.
 People who go to the theatre trav- el homewards in groups for pro tection.
 This lack Of clothing hits very hard the younger girls. One of them said to the correspondent: "I should like to go abroad, if only to get nice clothes"
 The older women in Russia, when talking of the chance of ever getting abroad. say, After all if we got abroad We would be very poor and feel our poverty more by the con trast Here We are all dressed alike and more or less in rags and so long as We can get food enough perhaps it is best that we stay in Russia

In the manufacture of rubber tires, just sufficient rubber should be sup piled to fill the mold. and any excess used results n waste. By weighing the tires on their metal cores before they go to the molds. the exact amount of rubber required can be de- termined To do this accurately scale has been devised, according to an illustrated article in the Popular Mechanics Magazine, which has a short arm projecting from one side on which the tire Is hung and weigh ed just before going to the mold. The scale is designed to maintain its ac- curacy under rough usage, and the usual knife-edges are replaced by metallic spring plates.

A few yards beyond the finish the rabbit ducks into trap door whle the dogs are clocled as they cross the line.
 The dogs for five weeks had chased the rabbit when an inquiring black cat wandered onto the couhe. One of tke judges to save the kitty from rough handling by the hounds did 100 yards in ten seconds flat and cap tured her. The cat was released be- hind the grand stand with warning and it was believed she would stay put. She didn't
 The first race got under way and the stuffed rabbit was making a streak down the course with the greyhounds in full tilt afte it. At the post marking sixteenth of a mile things began to happen. The casing of the trolley flew into the air and bunny came to a halt Six greyhounds bounced upon 1t.
 The eat. disregarding the warning, had wandered onto the track again and had climbed onto a rafter under the trolley casing for q siesta. The management issued rain shocks to the spectators. sent for several car penters to repair damages, raided a taximermists shop for another stuff fed rabbit. and the races were re- sumed the next day.

In studying the hab- its of bees they desired to learn the number of bees leaving the hive dur ing the day. so a gate was devised which would permit only one bee to pass at time. and an arrangement was made whereby the number of bees was counted automatically. The little counting device which is used for registering the number of tele- phone messages on given instru- ment was employed as a recording device. A series of these registers were installed In such & way that the number of bees passing the gate was recorded

SEMENT.
Cocoanut Oil Fine b
For Washing Hair

If o want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash 1t with. =
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
lis very harmful. Mulsiffed cocoanut
Oil shampoo (Which is pure and en-
tirely g~reaseless), is much better than
anything else you can use for sham
pooling as this can't possibly injure the
hair.
Simply put two or three teaspoon
fuls of Mulsified in a cup or glass with
q little warm water. then moisten the
hair with water and rub it in. 1t viii
make an abundance Of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanse the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lathef rinses out eas-
lily, and removes every particiesof
dust dirt, dandruH and excess oil. Th4
hair dries quickly inc evenly, and it
leaves 1t fine and silky. bright, fluffy
and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsfied cocoanut oil
shampoo at any drug store. It is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for
months. Be sure your druggist gives
you Mulsified.
