French Women as Judaes

Women as judges are undesirable,
according to the Paris chamber of
commerce, the Montreal Herald
states. Tho experts Of the chamber
were asked TO advise parliament
regarding the proposal that women
be declared eligible to all court posi-
tons now held by men, a bill to that
effect in the chamber of deputies
being intended as the first important
wedge to electoral equality. To the
great surprise Of the deputies, many
of whom arc noted as suffragists, the
chamber Of commerce committee says
that such quality is undesirable just
now, as apart from the pCculiaT'tics
Of the feminine temperament, women
seldom are endowed with broad
enough knowledge Of judicial affairs
to warrant their dealing with deli
cate questions Of absolute justice.

nations were forced TO pour gold into

For months business men, finan-
ciers and government officials were
alarmed at the food of the metal into
this country. 1t tended TO upset the
financial balance between this and
ether countries. 1t disturbed dones-
tic finances. 1t tended to keep prices
at Il high level. For the last Few
months, however. the flow of metal
towards the United states has been
not so great Alarm is disappearing.
Whether the pre-war distribution
ever Will be recstablished is qucs-

England now has approximately 10
per cent Of the world reserve and
France 9 per cent. Japan stands

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in
sood condition, be careful what you
wash 1t with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and is very harmful. MulsiSed CO.
coanut oil shampoo (Which is pure
and entirely greaseless), is much bet
ter than anything else you can use
for shampooing, as this can't possibly
injure the hair.
Simply put two or three teaspoon
fuls of Mulsiflcd in a cup or glass
with little warm water. then mois
ten your hiir with water and rub it
in. 1t will make an abundance Of
rich, creamy lather, and cleanse the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lath-
er rinses out easily, and removes ev-
cry particle Of dust. dirt, dandruf
and excess oil. The hair dries quick
y and evenly. and il leaves it fine
and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get Mulsifed cocoanut oil
shampoo at any drug store. 1t is
very cheap, and q few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the family
for months. BE sure your druggist
gives you Mulsiied.-Adv.
