WOMEN ORGANIZE
DIVORCE LEAGUE
German Feminine Group Is
Seeking Abolition of
Discrimination.
BY Gable to The Star.

BY Gable to The Star.
BERLIN, January 18.-The fact that
the number of divorces granted an
nually in Germany has doubled be-
tween 1918 and the present time has
convinced the women here that they
ought to do something about it. Having
founded a League for the Protection OF
Divorced and Deserted Women, they
are now conducting an extensive cam
pagn for members.
Branch organizations are being eS-
tablished all over the Reich and II
the l.. P. D. D. w. has its way the
first thing that the parents of girl
baby will do after registering her birth
will be to enter her provisional mem
bership in the league. Just a matter
of foresight, nothing more. bus one Is
never too young to be careful.
Avoiding the question Of whether 1t
might not be wiser to apply its efforts
in the field of unhappy marriage to
prophylaXiS (before the mischief is
done, rather than to easing the con-
valeScent period, the Divorce League
emphasizes that it is not by any
means, simply an alimony club. though
it will help its members to collect what
is due them. If that fails it will find
them jobs
The L. P. D. D. W. has, indeed, a
higher purpose, which is to force the
amendment of certain German laws
now discriminating against the trails.
The main changes demanded refer to
the civil laws Anticipated restrictions
of the property rights of females-the
necessity of having the husbands sig
nature for opening bank account, for
example.
The ladies also wish the penal code
wouldn't make adultery an offense
punishable by fine or even jail SEN
tence, or prohibit mothers divorced on
grounds of adultery from governing the
upbrinaing of their children. It is
moreover, inconvenient to have simple
"disobedience Of the lord and master
basis for divorce without alimony.
One man and one man only is a
member of the Divorce League. He is
it's lawyer. He has been under criti-
cism for contending that SO per cent
of all marriages are failures. Most OF
the league think it's 80 per cent.

Oily Hair and Dandruf.

~ EAR MISS LEEDS-G) Please
tell me what to do for oily
hair and dandruf. I wash
my hair on an average OF
once a week. but by the third
day it Is oily. (2) Also my face be-
comes oily and my nose always shines.
(3) / am 10 years old and feet 5l2
inches tall and weigh 122 pounds. Do
you think that Is too much? 1 am
bothered with a few pimples on my
forehead and have tried several rem
edies, but they do not help them any.
Thanking you for your help and your
answers, which hope to find in your
column very shortly. H. M.
Answer.-Excessively oily hair with
dandruff is due to disorder of the oil
glands in the scalp, resulting in an
Increase of altered secretion Of these
glands. Internal as well as external
treatments are necessary. Build up
your general health by wise diet. ex-
ercise. sufficient sleep, fresh air and
sunshine Include more raw fruits,
green vegetables and salads in your
menus. Give your scalp and hair a
sun bath every day. Use a mild liquid
shampoo to wash your hair and use an
antiseptic scalp tonic several times a
week. Do not allow 1t to come near
your eyes, however. The following
scalp tonic may be used regularly for
several weeks: Two ounces witch
hazel, two ounces alcohol, one ounce
distilled water, 40 grains of resorcin.
Shake well. Apply it to the scalp with
a small brush or medicine dropper or
pads Of absorbent cotton. Before the
shampoo you may use a little of the
following oily lotion to soften the ac-
cumulated dandruff: Fifteen grains
salicylic acid, two ounces olive oil.
Rub it well into the scalp. Leave it
on the scalp for half an hour or more
and then shampoo as usual Be sure
to rinse your hair thoroughly (2)
After washing the face with mild
soap and water, rinse well and apply
a little of the following lotion and
allow it to dry on the skin: One dram
boric acid, two ounces witch hazel, three
ounces orange flower water. Shake
well. Use it during the day when your
face is oily and your nose shiny. Do
not use too much face powder, and
never apply it while your skin is oily;
first, remove the excess oil with soap
and water. Rinse well in cold water.
Dry thoroughly and apply a skin

The trees grow very straight, and the
Americana Indians make their canoe
paddles of them.
In rich soil the tree will reach
height of $50 feet, with trunk feet
through. The leaves are from 70 ~
inches long and have from to y
leaflets. They are glossy green above
and whitish beneath They are set op-
posite upon the twig. Only the horse
chestnut and the ash have compound
leaves so arranged. 1t is one OF the
first identification marks to look for.
Bv many the bark of the white ash is
said to be the most beautiful OF all tree
barks. The branches and twigs are
smooth and rather coarse, the twigs
are marked with white dots.
The flowers appear in May, some
time before the leaves. The pistillate
flowers make the twigs look very un-
kempt. The flower is inquisitive looking
and appears to go on the lookout Tor

style slender and long, and divided
into a purple stigma. The staminate
flowers arrive even earlier, and they
appear like knobs on the points of the
coarse twigs They are grouped in
masses of thick green anthcrs, with
strong filaments.
The seeds are packed in crowded
packages, which are pale green and
are attached to a slender stem from
two to five inches long. These stems

Joined two or three of the keys. In
other words, the keys are winged seeds
and the wings are twice as long as the

lodge them. This is wise, for a strong
wind can lift and carry them far. Have
you not seen them skimming over the
ice and snow?
The Winter leaf buds are very pretty.
