 to Be his Wife

 Her cousin, Carmelio Cavallaro, was held on charges of Kidnapping and carrying loaded revolver. Gae- tano Bruno, who owns the camp, and Joseph Cammarato were charged with being accessories after the act of kid naping. Sam Buffalo and Mario Tosta, arrested earlier in an automobile in. Methuen, are charged with Kidnapping. All were held in s5.000 bail each.
 The girl told the officer that she was forced into the machine in which were her cousin and Buffalo and Tosta. They drove to the camp where the last two named left them. Her cousin, she said. then placed @ revol- yer in her hand and told her either to kill him or 10 promise to marry him. She refused.

Be Careful What You Wash
 Your Child's Hair With

If you want to keep cfiildren's hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with.
 Many soaps and prepared sham poos contain too much free alkali. This dries the scalp. makes the hair brittle. and is very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo twhich is pure and entirely grcaseless), is much bet- ter than anything else you can use for shampooing. as this cannot possibly injure the hair.
 Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. Two or three teaspoon tuls eill make an abundance Of rich. creamy lather, and cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. The father rinses out easily. and removes every particle Of dust. dirt. dandruff and ex- cess oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly. and it leaves it fine and silky. bright, fluffy, vary, and easy 10 man. age.
 You can get Mulsified cocosnut oil shampoo at any drug store. It is in. expensive. and few ounces will last for months.

LARGE CROWD SEES
 SOUTH CHURCH PLAY
Rewritten by Rev. Dr. (. ". C.
 Hill From We'll Known Book

| 4 well filled junior room at the South Congregational church last eye- ming greeted the second night of the
 production of Harmed Out" a com edy of college life in three acts and prologue. written by Rev. Dr. George w. c. Hill from story by and with permission of Fannie Kilbourne.
 The story tells of the embarrassing predicament Tn which 8 young col lege girl finds herself when sine be- comes hopelessly involved ;n debt on the eve of her sweethart's visit, just as the faculty threatens the expulsion of all students who cannot pay their bills.
 She apparently is saved by the idea conceived by a group of girls who met one night in the dormitory and sug- sested that she charge each girl a Hat price for the privilege of her sweetheart's company. This seems all right until one girl who objects to paying the full price and incurs the displcasure Of the other. quietly buys Up all the young mans time from the other girls and finds she has purchas- ed monopoly on the time of her schoolmate's sweetheart.
 And of course, the story leaks out, the young man grows angry, the girl is penitent the debts are paid, every tody laughs at the joke, and the in- evitable reconciliation follows and all is well.
 Characters in the play in the order In which they appeared included Will liam F.. Fay, who took the part of 'Vinton Lester "Stub," the janitor; Charles R. Newton, as William Me- Kay, "Slats." the messenger boy: Con- stance Y. Carrier as Miss Straight, the stenographer; Raymond w. Wat kins as Mir. Roomc, a factory official; David F.. Magnuson as Bob Prentice, the leading man; Ruth V. Henry as Dorothy Gardner. "The Girl in the case: Anna V. Foberg as Elaine Pep per. the villainess: Ruth F.. Bristoll as Lydia Qilliams, Helen c. Smith as Helen Carle, Gladys NJ. Stevens as Betty Byrnes, Airline Root as Mary Caroline Hardy, Gerda c. Fay as Give Rogers, took the part of college girls; Inez r. Babcock as Mrs. Field, the house mistress; Estelle F. Molander as Rosamund Page, Mildred K. Barrows as Nancy Page. Beatrice Neal as Jean Mcintyre and Irene Molander as Kath- crime Jones, also were college girls. Misses Ruth s. Perry and Airline Whitbeck as waitresscs completed the cast.
 Furniture for the tea room and the scenes were made by William F. Chapman, sexton. The play was given under the auspices of the Young Women's department.
