ed to the better babies, All the

The opening of the eutrv list

skilled help will be provided for
caring for the babies. Mrs. Negus,
superintendent of the better ba
bies department, states that she
would not be surprised if there
were a thousand babies entered
for the contest this year. She
doubts if the department will be
able to care for so many and an
nounces that the babies will be
LISTED as entered and the entries
accepted in their order up to the
humber she feels can be properly
examined and judged. Last year
There We're 672 entries. In 1921
There We're All and in 1920 there
were 2S6. Mrs. Negus pronounces

WILL BREED CHIMPAMzEES
TO REJUVENATE HUMANS
Pasteur Institute Establishes
Ape Farm In Africa.

London,-The hope that those in
search of the fountain of youth would
find It in an African monkey colony
was expressed by DR.. Serge Voronotr,
director OF the experimental !abora-
tory OF the College of France, known
for a decade for his work with gland
transportation.
He told nearly 1000 eminent physi-
clans and surgeons from all over the
world attending the sixth triennlal
congress of the International Surgical
society how the Pasteur institute had
constructed an immense park In
Africa, where 1t would breed chlmpan'
gees whose glands, he asserted, were
valuable in rejuyenatIng human be-
ings.
He said that while African apes
were so difficult to obtain grating
operations necessarily would have to
be limited, but he believed that the
colony would place the elixir of youth
within the reach of every one.

notable strides made last year toward
conquerlng tuberculosis, diabetes,
pneumonia, paralysis, rheumatism and
even insanity, but In spite Of all these
remarkable advances Sir William Mac.
Evan, president of the congress, re-
marked regretfully:
Regarding nature as Whole, we
are still In the deepest darkness"
He asked If there was not within
every one mystery which never has
been fathomed.
"If we pursue our quest with a
single purpose In search of truth for
truths sake only" he added, 1--WE may
get glimpse of the spirit of nature
and feel the touch of the hand that
weaves the wool"
Noted surgeons also cited improved
methods for alEevating human suffer
ing by bone and skin grating and
cheapening and making more effective
operations of all sorts.

new U. S. RIFLE
is AUTOMATIC
Demonstration Of Latest Infantry
Arm at Aberdeen Meets
Government Tests.

Wnshlngton,--Eyery doughboy may
be practically machine gunner In fu-
ture wars due to progress made by
ordnance experts in developing
semiautomatlc shoulder rifle to replace
the regular service magazine guns.
Recent demonstration firing with
the latest postwar model, the Garand
semlautomatic, at the Aberdeen (Md)
proving grounds, Inns convinced many
officers they are on the road to the
Ilcng-sought solution of the proper
weapon for the infantry.
The Garand, named after its inven-
tor John c. Garand, long employed Mt
the Springfield arsenal, Is one of nu.
merous semiautomatlcs with which
army experts have been working.
1t Is approximately the same size
and weight as the army standard
Springfield magazine action rifle, with
which all American forces are
equipped, said to be the most efrec-
tive military rifle in the world. The
| Springfield, however, with operation
of the bolt action necessary to reload
for each shot, has maximum rate of
fire of about twenty-five shots min
ute, while the Garand developed 4
speed of sixty shots a minute during
the firing at Aberdeen.
Like 1908 Springfield.
In many respects the new gun is an
exact counterpart of the 1903 SPRING
field and it is lighter than the modified
Enfield produced in quantity during
the war, The automatic device APP
plies only to the breech action for the
purpose of ejecting shells and reload.
ing.
1t is necessary to pull the trigger
each time to fire.
In the tests at Aberdeen a War de-
partment memorandum says:
"This gun was fired with great sue
cess and It at once became matter
of great interest to those who are
watching 1t because of its possibilities
for rapid, accurate and sustained fir
ing from the shoulder, though being at
the same time light, portable gun
which can be carried without fatigue
to the individual soldier"
At another point the memorandum
said the performance of the Garand
under severe tests as to endurance
promised ito fulfill the many require
ments that will be imposed upon it."
Still TO Be DeveIoned
"Results thus far" concludes the
memorandum, "justify the belief that
such a weapon "a semlautomatic
shoulder rifle can be suitably devel-
oped and manufactured to replace the
well-known magazlne-fed hand-oper-
ated shoulder rifle"
Semiautomatlc guns have been used
for sporting purposes for years, but
no mechanism suitable for military
purposes has been produced. The
Garand Is still in It's development
stages; but there is no doubt that
i military experts expect It ultimately
to replace the Springfield.
What changes in tactics will result
have not yet been worked out.
With the infantry equipped to de-
liver nearly three times its present
maximum volume of fire, however and
with infantry companies relieved of
the Job Of packing present-day auto
matte rifles to the front and being
greatly slowed down in movement
thereby, 1t is obvious there will be
radical changes in battle tactics when
the new gun Is issued.

Careless Shampooing
Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
II you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Many soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much free al.
kali. This dries the scalp, makes the
hair brittle. and ruins It.
The best thing for steady use is
Mulstfied %cocoanut oil shampoo
(which is pure and greaseiessl, and
is better than anything else you can
use.
Two r three teaspoonfuis of Null.
rned in a cup or glass with a little
warm water is sufficient to cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simp.
ly moisten the hair with water and
rub the Mulsified in. 1t makes an
