TRAIN YOUR HAIR AS AN ACTRESS DOES No class of people devotes is much time to 'beauty as do actresses, and no class must be more careful to re tain and develop .their charms. In quiry develops the information that in hair care they find it dangerous to shampoo with any makeshift hair cleanser. The majority say that to have the best hair wash and scalp stimulator at a cost of about three cents, one need only get a package of tanthrox from your druggist r dis solve a teaspoonful in a cup of hot water and your shampoo is ready.

GROH My my. hut aren't some people the suspicious things, Take, for instance, two questions suggested to me for discussion in this column. One of them crept in, very mysteriously, without date, salutation or signature, like a message from ti.e "Mystic Seven." (But I have a clue. The paper is watermarked, "Termi nal. ) Now, all 1 nave to do is find out who uses that kind of paper and I'll be on the way to discovering who asked this question. On the mystic paper were read these words: "Write on what you know about Dan Butler's connection with the ouster suit." ' . Hist I Mr. Anonymous, give me the password of the "Mystic Seven" and bend your ear this way. Listen closely. What I Snow about Dan Butler's connection with the ouster suit is found between this paragraph and the next one. Another chap turns on the red rib bon on his typewriter and breathes out the following on a post card: "Very well, Mr. Wizard, just, to test you: What was the mysterious 'en closure,' which so effectually turned off the Rev. Savidge's flow of lan guage? G. E. H." The enclosure, my dear G. E. H., was a check to be used for the poor. Mr. Savidge lias so used it, retaining no part for himself. A letter accom panied the check, apologizing for the treatment of the minister and stating that the writer wanted to live a bet ter life. So Mr. Savidge pursuing the policy of love for. his enemies mate ad of revenge, forgave them.! Hoping that my elucidation of this subject is perfectly lucid, 1 beg to remain, sir, yours, etc. ' Delves in History. : s Axel Anderion, 1923 Dodge street, postcards me that he "would like to suggest the question, 'Who are the. historic races ot Europe.' uwing, to the world war going on it would not be an untimely topic." ' Quite right, Axel. It would not be an untimely topic. However, I think the subject has been covered in "Historic Races of Europe," a lit tle book of 967 pages, even better than I could cover it in this column. Of course, I could treat it super, ficially by writing 200 or 300 articles about it, but that, perhaps, might be come tiresome to some of our readers. "Races of Europe," another little work in six volumes of 4S0 pages each you may1 also find interesting. Ask at the city library. ' , ' Wants to Be Saved. i From F.'.B. M 293PU street, Lin coin, comes this; "I would like to have the Well of Wisdom explain the following subject: 'What must I do to be saved?'" ' ... My dear F. B. M., in Lincoln there are more than fifty churches of 'clergymen in charge of them, who can answer this question tor you much better .than I could. They are not only willing, .but anxious to answer it and I respectfully refer you to them. mere, i ve answered those tour questions.' .- , All work stoooed in the navy re cruiting station at the federal build ing when an attractive young woman approached Lieutenant Waddell with blushes and hesitation and asked if she might join the navy.

Bought Up by Investors ' That practically all of the $375,000 Athletic club bond issue will be sold to investors of Omaha and Nebraska is predicted by Sam Burns, jr, head of the Burns & Brinker company, which purchased the bonds from the club. More than $100,000 worth have now been sold, tflough the formal campaign has not yet started Mr. Burns said country bankers and women are the principal buyers of these bonds. The money for the entire issue is now all available for the club. , covering the case, Lieutenant Wad dell could not sign the unexpected ap plicant She gave her name as Alice McCain and said she was 19 years of age. She was visiting Omaha friends, whose names and address she refused to divulge. She last worked as a stenographer in Lincoln, she asserted. "Come in again soon," the lieuten ant said, invitingly. Members of the recruiting staff cordially echoed the' invitation and then tried to settle down again to the office routine. Miss McCain went away, uncertain as to becoming a yeowoman in Uncle Sam's navy. Unofficial advices from Washington are to the effect that Secretary Dan iels of the navy has issued orders that shore station commandants and re cruiting officers be prepared to enlist women for yeoman service on shore in case of emergency. Difficulty of securing men for such clerical positions is given as the rea son for planning to enlist women. The plan would release men from yeoman service in time of -war and permit them to serve arfighters with the fleets, which are still under manned. Lobeck Says that Congress Will Be With the President Congressman Lobeck, when advised by The Bee of the president's call for an extra session, said: "pi course. I will be there. Congress will stand by the president, regardlese of party lines. '"I also believe that conscription will riot be necessary in time of war. This country ia not very keen for a large standing army, but when it comes to defending the flag there will be plenty of volunteers. We are getting the navy into excellent con dition, added the congressman. Passover Appeal to Aid Jews in the War Zone A Passover appeal to the Jews of America to come at this time to the aid of the Jews in Jhe war zones, has just been issued by the central relief committee, and has been distributed broadcast throughout the United States.. The appeal begins with the words: "Our people abroad cannot work. They cannot earn money. The cannot feed their families. But they can starvel Will you let them?" The appeal then goes on to contrast the exodus of the Jews from bondage with the present fiight of refugees without clothes, without food and without hope from the battle areas of Europe. This is the third Passover since the beginning ofthe war and finds the Jews in a more dire plight than ever. The alternative to help from Amer ica is, the appeal concludes, ruin, starvation, deathl Shall the answer be: Bread for the living or shrouds for the dead? is the final sentence. The appeal is signed by Leon Ka maiky, chairman of the central com mittee for the relief of th; Jews suf fering through the war, 63 Park Row, New York, N. Y, and of which Harry Fischel is treasurer. 1 ROMANCE OF YOUTH SHATTERED BY LAW fonrteen-Year-Old Girl Runs Away from Home and Come Here to Wed. BACK TO NORTH PLATTE A blue-eyed, flaxen-haired girl, 14 years od, looked out upon' the world Wednesday morning from her cell in the police matron's room and volun teered to marry the man who wronged her. "I will marry him," she said, "just to save him trom the penitentiary And then, if we don't get along, 1 can get a divorce from him." The child, who is wise far beyond her years, is Ruby Eloise Hutchin son stepdaughter of Ed Cahill of North Platte. The man n the case is Walter Raueche, also of North Platte, whose brother, W. E. Raueche, lives at 2851 Ames avenue, Omaha. Both were arrested by the morals squad at the Raueche home here Tues day night and charged with being fu gitives from justice. The additional charge of incorrigibility is lodged against the girl. Big City Bride. It does not seem to disturb Ruby to know that her love-dream which was to have led her to the altar as a "big city bride," brought her in stead to the police station. She talked of herself and her home quite freely. It was on Saturday night, back in her cozy North Platte home, that the shattered romance started,, she said. She wanted to attend a dance at Her shey with Raueche, whom she knew, she says, for more than a year. Her stepfather objected to her going on the grounds that she was too young to attend dances. But Ruby had a-date with Walter and slipped out of the house to meet him. ' Ruby says she enjoyed every num ber of the dance and she and Walter had a good time. But when they prepared to go home she found that the buggy and driver who had brought them to Hershey had re turned to North Platte. She suggested that she spend the night witji some of her relatives at Hershey. "No," said Raueche, according to her story, "let's go to Omaha and stay with -fhy brother there. Then we can get married." , It was as much the wish to see the big city as the desire to get married that prompted the child to say "yes," she says. The couple arrived in this city Sunday night and straightway went to the Raueche home here, where Walter introduced Ruby as his wife. She permitted the introduction, she says, believing that on the next day she would really become Mrs. Walter Raueche. . Meanwhile, Ruby's parents had no tified the police of her disappearance from home. Sheriff Salsbury will take Raueche and Ruby back home, where a ' marriage ceremony will probably be performed. Eight-Year-Old Girl , ' j Has Spinal Meningitis Olga Skar, 4022 Wirt street, has, been reported, to the health office on account of an attack of cerebral spi nal meningitis. She is 8 years of age. Wifey Says Hubby Barks at Her Just . ? Like Vicious Dog Cornea now a wife who has side tracked the threadbare and stereo typed allegations for divorce, enter ing the legal lists with a unique com plaint against' her spouse. Mrs. Ruth Ross asserts that her grocer-husband, George Ross, "barks at her upon the (lightest or most trivial excuse. Yes, sir, "barks" just like a dog. She alleges that he die plays these canine-like proclivities at the slightest provocation. - Ross, who is the proprietor of a grocery store at 2717 North Twenty fourth street, ha a "violent temper," his wife further alleges, "and ma ligns her and her relatives and speaks in a scandalous manner of anyone who happens to be around." ' v She asserts that these "paroxysms of violent temper" have affected her neaitn. ' . ; The wife sets forth that her "bark ing hubby" has a. $5,000 equity in a house at 2234 Mapte street and has accumulated about $20,000 in the gro cery business. She wants suitable alimony and custody of a minor daugmer,, Betty Koss. ) , Old Fiddlers With Old , ' Fiddles to Compete Monday The Young Men's Christian asso ciation will hold it annual old fid dlers' contest this coming Monday evening.
