Hardwick of Georgia in
Sarcastic Speech. '
Washington, Jan. 9. Senator Hard
tvick of Georgia today assailed the
senate resolution to have the trade
commission take charge of the news
print paper industry, with an attack
on newspapers and a declaration that
regulation of the news print paper
situation was no more necessary t3

the cotton or potato fields.
"Surely we are not going to send
over-zea'.ous newspapermen to fight
the Germans," he sair1 "although I
would like to take a .ow and stick
em in the front firing ranks of the
men they've drafted. If we could win

Senators King of Utah and Sher
man of Illinois also asked Smith of
Arizona, in charge of the resolution,
why it is any more necessary to have
government control of print paper for
public safety and defense, than of any
other business.
Senator Smith replied that the print
paper industry was trust controlled
and that the government should in
tervene if the president believed it
desirable.

Petrograd correspondent of the Daily

The foreign minister, who was in
terviewed as he was : starting for
Brest-Litovsk, said . that Premier
Lloyd George had niade a statement
permitting such art interpretation and
he spoke along the same lines in an
editorial printed" earlier in the Bol
sheviki organ, Pravtla.
Premier Lloyd George, the cor
respondent assured Trotzky, had
never made such a statement, but the
Bolsheviki . leader was hard to con
vince, and said: "That is the allied
policy." 1 !
He added that the attitude of the
Bolsheviki would not be influenced
by tnc attitude of the allied govern
ments, but by that of the allied peo
pies. '
' Germans Need Settlement
Trotzky was asked what hope he
himself had. of a general acceptable

such a peace, but he was sure the
Germans must need it.

German deserters as saying that the
Germans were unable to remove
troops from the eastern front in
large unit, iney were removing
them one at a time and the men
knowing where they were being sent,
jump from trains in attempts to es
cape. He reiterated the story that
25,000 German troops had deserted in
the Kovno district, adding that the
Germans Cannot get their own men to
attack the deserters and are trying to
reduce them by starvation.
Asked what tems he actually hoped
to -get, Trotzky refused to reply, and
said laughingly: "If we were really
logical we would declare war on
England now for the sake of India.
Egypt and Ireland.
The Daily News correspondent pro
tested that Great Britain made noth
ing out of India, to which Trotzky
replied: "Then give up being so al
truistic. You English are the most
chauvinist nation on the earth with
out knowing it."

Hair Often Ruined
By Washing With Soap
Soap should be used very carefully
if you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsified cocoanutoil (which
is pure and greaseless),and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the "hair with water and rub
rt in. It makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out eas
ily, removing every particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and it
leaves the scalp soft, and fre hair
fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy
and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
ber of the family for months. Adv.
