ENGLISH OFFICERS
OBJECT TO RULE
Unwritten Law That Horse Guards
man Who Weds Actress Must
Resign Is Assailed.
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, December 6.-Announce-
ment that Francis Francis, wealthy
young subaltern in the Royal Horse
guards is resigning his commission be-
cause of his engagement to Sunny"
Jarmann, American comedienne, in ac-
cordance with the unwritten law that
officers who marry actresses must resign,
has started a violent controversy here
over the justice of that rule.
Lieut.. Francis himself seems entirely
resigned to the situation. saying:
Its the rule, and that's that. There's
no use trying to quarrel with it, even If
one wanted to-
Others, including some of whom have
been affected by the rule, freely ex-
pressed the opinion that it was about
time the "out-of-date rule" was abro-
gated.

since, weeping like lost child, he was
taken out of the shipping box in which
he arrived at the Zoo year ago. He
was one of the first gorillas ever
brought alive to the United States and
most of the others had died in a short
time. For months before he had had
the run of the house of his owner,
treated in every way like a human
being and for two nights after he came
to the Zoo the owner remained with
him all the time.
For a few months everything went
well with him and he performed before
thousands who packed in front of his
cage every day. The little gorilla
seemed to be making himself at home.
Then, with the coming of hot weather,
he stopped playing and sank into an
lneXplicable decline, which DR.. Mann
feared would be the end of him. It
was the common story of gorillas, with

Pantomime for Drury Lane.

Famous Drury Lane Theater, in Lon
don, has gone back to pre-war normalcy
and is presenting a Christmas panto-
mine this year. Ten years ago musical
comedy displaced the pantomine at the
old theater, but with the presentation
of THE Sleeping Beauty the old
Christmastide tradition is being revived.

Norway.
These creatures, which seem to be in
a curious transition stage between sheep
and bison, live entirely beyond the
Arctic Circle, where they subsist on
moss and the scanty herbage which
can be cropped through the ice on the
oarren Arctic islands. Very few of them
have ever been in captivity. The Zoo
has had one old muSk-ox for years. In
spite OF the violent change in climate

New Kind of Irish Stew.

Prince Peter of Montenegro, who is
an expert cook, is fond of Irish stew,
but he makes it little differently. He
stews the meat in butter and then adds
cabbage water with potatoes and other
vegetables. He believes in the use OF
cabbage water as stock, and no vege-

| Peter was just trying to make up his

he heard a whistling sound overhead.
He looked up quickly. Two ducks
passed overhead. flying high. Peter
wondered who they were. He suspected
they were some of Mrs. Quack'S family.
Then he noticed that these ducks were
smaller than the Quacks. It was just
as he noticed this that they turned
and a moment later passed high over
head again, the sharp whistle Of their
wings coming down to Peter. Again
they turned and then they began to
circle around above the pond. Evil

thoroughly. Evidently, too, they saw
Mr.. and Mrs. Quack standing on their
heads in the water. They knew what
that meant. 1t meant food. So they
swung around lower and lower and
presently. with splash they alighted
they sat on the water motionless for
a few minutes. Then they began to
swim slowly across to where Mr. and
Mrs. Quack were so busily feeding.
The sun fell full on the new ar
rivals. Peter almost caught his breath
at the beauty of one Of them. He knew
in an instant who 1t was. It was the
handsomest Of all the duck family He
was small, but my, how beautiful he
was!

claimed Peter under his breath MY,

be wonderful to be so handsome. I
suppose that that Is Mrs. Beauty with
him She's very trim, but she isn't
handsome But he is handsome enough
for two. I wish he would stay"
BY this time the new. arrivals had
joined and greeted Mr.. and Mrs. Quack
Then they, too, began standing on their
heads and searching the bottom for
food. Peter hoped around a little
nearer and watched them.
IF had as handsome head as that,
I'd never want to put it under water.
I should always want to keep 1t where
1t could be SEEN" said Peter. He was
talking to himself. He forgot that he
might be overheard.
Meaning whom?" inquired Mrs.
Quack with a chuckle.
Just as If you didn't know" replied
Peter.

HOW TO SHAMPOO

Many diseases Of the scalp ana
hair are caused by q lack of cleanli-
ness or lack of care In shamp0oing.
Dust and dirt collect readily upon the
hair and work down into the scalp,
clogging up the pores. When the
scalp is in this condition, 1t is very
easy for infections to develop. The
cure of almost any infection Of tho
scalp and hair IS more dependent
upon cleanliness than the use OF anti
septics or lotions.
Most people realise the necessity Of
keeping the body clean for health
but they do not realize that 1t is
just rs important to keep the scalp
free from impurities. Most people
take a bath daily or at least twice
week. but few people wash their
hair oftener than once or twice q
month because they do not realize
the Importance Of doing SO, or they
may believe that 1t dries out the hair
or causes a cold.
It is true that when shampoo is
improperly used. the natural oil of
the hair may be removed and the
scalp become dry, but this will never
occur If the right method OF sham
pooling is used. Whenever possible,
distilled water or rain water should
be used for washing the hair, as
either Of these dissolves tho dirt more
readily than ordinary water.
The hair should first be moistened
with warm water and then thoroughly
lathered with good toilet soap or
shampoo. The hair should be we'll
worked and the scalp massaged
gently, then all Of the soap should
be washed out. Repeat this process
with the water to which some lemon
juice has been added. Next. dry the
hair thoroughly. using large turk
ish towel and if possible. the sun
light or the heat from a good electric
heater, waving the hair in the fingers
under the heat.
After the hair has been dried, rub
a tcaspoonful Of cocoanut oil. olive
oil or some vegetable oil into the
palms of the hands and thoroughly
massage this into the scalp and hair
roots. This will give The hair another
coating Of oil to replace that which
has been washed out and in this way
the lustre will be restored. The ap.
pcarance Of the hair will be improved
for very much the same reason as
the applying of polish to your fur
niture or your automobile The en-
tire scalp should be rubbed vigorously
for several minutes and the excess of
oil should be removed with another
clean towel.
If you have any disease of the scalp,
such as dandruff. this washing and
oiling should be repeated every day
or every other day for several weeks
until the trouble has cleared up. Even
If you have no disease OF the scalp
1t is a good plan to wash your hair
in this manner once a week. If you
do SO YOU arc not likely to be
troubled with diseases of the scalp

The Lenten season should empha-

as the personal aspects of religion
The suffering and sacrifice of Jesus
that we commemorate were for
others. and the man who seeks to
appropriate the blessings of Christ
without sharing In the spirit and
purpose of Christ never understands
tho meaning of Christianity.
But true social relationships de-
pend upon true character. II we
would serve our fellow men, the
greatest service that we can render
is first of all to make our own lives
good. It is as We ourselves become
what we ought to be that vision OF

Talks PG&
- Parents



A gentle and charming woman, who
at 50 retains that delicacy Of feature
and trimness which Is only given to
those who in their youth were cx-
tremely pretty. told me with genu-
inc emotion that she knew she always
had been plain.
She recalled with distressing clarity
how. when she was little girl, her
mothers callers would smooth her
sister Emmaline's silky curls. COM
ment on what was then called her
alabaSter skin, and tease her sister
Edith about the dimple in her chin.
Then they would inevitably remark
at some point in the conversation
''Emmaline and Edith certainly will
be q pair Of beauties some day." And,
perhaps seeing the unhappy express
sion on her own small face, would
add, Never mind. dear. you'll be
! sweet, too"
On such occasions her mother
would draw Z protective arm about
her shoulders. saying, She's mothers
own girl. and she's going to be
mothers helper. You've no idea how
capable she is about the house.
The little girl played the part for
which she had been cast. She de-
| voted herself to that unselfistl SER
| vice of others which has always been
so highly recommended by moralists.
At so. she. who was so obviously cut
out to be q wife and mother, finds
herself alone, lonely and past the
period Of her usefulness. All her life
she wore upon her face the painful
humility which characterizcs those
Who know themselves to be inferior
who ask nothing OF life and receive It.
Comparisons are never more odious
than in the family circle, and especi-
ally are they cruel and harmful when
they are made about things which
even II they were true, no one could
change or help.
