WAR DELAYS ARMY BALLOON FLIGHTS Public to Be Invited to Witness Activities When Plant is Repaired.

But within a few days the first flights will he attempted, savs Captain C. Del-. Chandler, U. S. A., who is in charge. 1 he public will be admitted to the grounds and permitted to watch the activities there, although greater pre cautions are now being taken than ever before in peace times to guard military secrets. Much information concerning the balloon establishment here is withheld. "With Omaha's tine, mild weather slipping by day after day lately while we have been impatiently waiting since last November for repair ma terial to come from the east, we have become very disappointed and dis couraged," 'said Captain Chandler. "There is no possibility of our at tempting a balloon (light before Tues day, but we hope to be ready to do something then or soon after." Repairs Were Needed. The Fort Omaha balloon plant, in cluding huge shed, hydrogen plant and outfit of large ruhheriaed cotton gas bags, was installed by Captain Chandler a number of years ago. When the post was recently redesig nated as a balloon training station, it was found to need extensive repairs. Many special parts and materials, both metal and rubber, were ordered for the necessary repair work last fall, but have not yet arrived.

One hundred men, newly enlisted in the army, are now at Fort Omaha. They have kept the experienced men busy giving them general army train ing, and will rapidly be instructed in the work of handling ballooning equipment on the ground. Captain D. H. Bowen and Lieuten ant L. C. Davidson of the army are also at the fort to receive instruction as observation balloon pilots. Cap tain Chandler and Leo Stevens, a civ ilian expert and maker of balloons, are the instructors. While stormy weather will not in terfere with balloon voyages, wind conditions must be right.

TODAY'S AID TO BEAUTY Hair Is by far the most conspicuous thing about us and is probably the most easily damaged by bad or care less treatment. If we are very care ful in hair washing, we will have virtually no hair troubles. A,n espe cially fine shampoo for this weather, one that brings out all the natural beauty of the hair, that dissolves and entirely removes all dandruff, excess oil and dirt, can easily be used at trifling expense by simply dissolving a teaspoonful of canthrox- (which you can get at any druggists) in a cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair instead of just the top of the head. This chemically dissolves all impurities and creates a soothing, cooling lather. Rinsing leaves the scalp spotlessly clean, soft and pliant, while the hair takes on the glossy richness of natural color, also a flufliness which makes it seem much heavier than it is. After a canthrox shampoo, arranging the hair is a pleasure. Advertisement. , . , , 7 , m , r,.,r
