Under'the new plan of speeding up . it. is understood, that a major part of the l.QpOyOOO men in this country will .leave the country by August 1, mak 'ing it necessary to , send Something like 200,000 men a month or more if the schedule is to be carried out. This will make necessary the radical change in plans for drafting men this i year, which the' provost marshal gen eral's department is now considering, the object is to keep the army camps, accommodating about 1,2QO,000 men, as full as possible, and to that end it mav be necessary,- to send approxi mately 800ff00 drafted men to camp by August 1.

America can become a ''composite and .purposeful nation and impose no authority other than the compelling influence '.of af- ifection, sympathy,uuderstandiag and education, Secretary Lane declared today- in aa address, which sounded the keynote -of a conference called to plan the, Americanization of manj millions of foreign born The secretary spoke to an assem blage of staf; governors, chairmen of state defense councils, heads of civk organizations, industrial leaders and business msrt; gathered at tho invita tion of the Department hi Interior. , A federal legislative program which calls foi an appropriation to the bureau of education is to be fully-considered and Americanization deall with as. a war measure, toounterajjt the anti-Ameiican propaganda among aliens. v A Great Experiment.

This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and en tirely gfeaseless), lisTnuchJ better than the most expensive soap or any thing else you can use for shampoo- ping, as this can't possibly injure the hair. . ' Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two tea- spoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky-j bright, fluffy and easy to man age. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces-is enough to last everyone, in the family ior months.
