P. Freeman Addresses
Omaha Rotarians.
.1. P. Freeman of Chicago, naftonal
field commissioner of the Boy
Scouts of America, delivered an in
spiring half-hour talk yesterday
noon to Omaha Rotarians in the ball
room of Hotel Fontenelle.
- The visitor spoke'as a Rotarian to
Rotarians, his theme being the wel
fare of the scout boys. Omaha Ro
tarians are big brothers" to the
scouts and this meeting' was in con
nection with "Good Turn Week,"
now being observed in Scotland.
Attendants at the meeting en
' countered at the door of the dining
room a small bridge which had
been made by . Tine Tree patrol.
Charles Gardner led in community
singing, Henry Cox was at the piano
and Dr. F.. C; Henry presided.
Let Boys jSxpand. '
"We remember the old idea that
a boy shoiild be seen and iyt heard,"
Mr. Freeman saicT "The old method
was one ot repression 'Don't do
this,' or 'Don't do that.' 'No matter
what you are doing, don't do it.'
Scouting has demonstrated the
value of the boy here and now, a.s
well as his potential value. The boy's
safety valve is in play in which he
finds his best expression. Scouting
is organized play, with leadership,
activities worth while, and'a code of
ethics for the development of char
acter. ' Scouting is a Mippleniental agency
to help the church, school and home,
contributing a real interest to the
life of the boy. Scouting tends to
gtiard against social unrest by
bringing to the boy a sense of civic
responsibility. It comes to the. boy
just at a time when. he begins to
change from his individualist'-:
period to the period which develops
the gang spirit, as we say. It is
at a time when the boy begins to
think in groups. Scouting appeals
to the fraternal spirit of the boy.
"The boys of Omaha need your
persouality. You have done well
and will do well again in giving
your money to promote his move
ment, but it is your time and per
sonality the boys now need."
John W. Welch, local scout com
missioner, made an appeal to Ro
tarians to volunteer to serve on
scout troop committees.
y Friday Is Tag Day,
The Scouts will tie 40,000 small
twine knots on Omahans Friday,
the significance of the knots being
that they are reminders to do good
turns. The scouts have been doing
good 'turns all week and they, want
everybody else to do likewise. The
scouts are not afraid of "Friday, the
13th," as tomorrow happens to be.
Saturday, the last day of this spe
cial week of scouting, will be fea
tured by a visit of James E. West,
thief executive of the Boy Scouts of
America. Mr. West will arrive in
the morning from Denver, and will
meet local scout officials at Hotel
Fontenelle. During the afternoon
he will address the Boy Scouts in
theCity council chamber. A trip to
, Camp Gifford has been planned, and
a dinner in the evening at' Hotel
Fontenelle will be the social event
of the visit of this distinguished
scout executive. Mr. West is the
leader of 400,000 scouts of the
United States.

HOME-MADE TOILET
PREPARATIONS
. BY BARBARA BOOTH
Anyone can make, at home, at lit
tle cost, a' number of toilet prepara
tions for the hair and complexion
' that will, with simple scalp exercises
and face massage, give wonderful
results.
When the sealp becomes tight on
the skull, so a proper JMood supply
does not reach the .roots of the hair,
or the scalp becomes incrusted with
dandruff, the hair will fall out. The
danger signal for women is to find
the comb and bnish full of stray
hair, after combing and brushing.
' A man can quickly tell if he is los
ing his hair by pressing the hair flat
on each side of the part, and not
ing if the part is becoming wider.
If you are losing your hair,
'prompt action should be. taken,
otherwise baldness or partial bald
ness may ensue. The scalp should be
properly massaged, then -apply a
good hair ..tonic. In massaging the
scalp, do riot let the finger tips slip
along the scalp, but make the scalp
move on the skull, back and forth
and in circles. -
- Danger Signal for Women.
Here is a simple mixture which
jrou can make at home, that will
quickly remove dandruff, aid the
crowth of the hair and in prevent-

nig it from falling out. Merely dis
solve 1 dram of powdered sanocidcj
in 5 ounces of bay rum, and add 3
sunces of water. These ingredients
fan be bought at any druggist's at
h'ttle cost, and mixed at home. Ap
ply to the scalp once a day, after
properly massaging. This mixture
is not only a stimulant and astrin
gent, but is a very powerful trermidi-
al agent, and dandruff cannot exist
where it is applied. The hair will
stop falling out and dandruff disap
pear within one to three days after
beginning its use. -
For bray Hair.
As te.gray, streaked or faded hair,
you can gradually darken it with
this simple home-made mixture. To
'i pint of water add 1 ounce of bay
rum, a small box of Barbo Com
pound and V. ounce of glycerine.
These ingredients can be purchased
at any druggist's at little cost, and
mixed at home. Apply to the hair
every other day, until it becomes the
required shade. This is not a dye,
does not color the scalp, is not sticky
or greasy and does not rub off. . It
gradually darkens the hair, and
there are no quick, embarrassing
changes. '
For the Complexion. -
As to the complexion, you can
make 'at home a greaseless vanishing
cream that will beautify the com
plexion, make the skin soft and pli
able and prevent the hands from
chapping. It is greaseless and can
not cause the growth of superfluous
hair. Dissolve ounce of grexite
in 1 ounce of glycerine, and add 1
pint of water. These ingredients
cost little at any druggist's, and they
will make more than a pint of van
ishing cream that will give the com
plexion a clear, velvety appearance,
and remove roughness. It will also
aid in removing wrinkles. Men will J
find it excellent after shaving.-

AT THE
THE coming of "Robin Hood" is
proving an interesting topic.
Ralph Dunbar, a product of the
midwest,, concluded that if the mil
lions of music-lovers were accorded
a square deal in the production of
real comic opera with the same
standard of uprightness prevailing
that govern legitimate merchandis
ing, a relationship of confidence
would result which would make pos
sible the bringing to middle western
cities productions equal to the best
offered anywhere. To test his judg
ment he invested a large sum in a
complete new production of "Robin
Hoad" and since then more than 100
cities have enjoyed real comic opera.
The engagement at the Brandcis is
for three days, with a matinee on
Saturday afternoon.
A soubrctte gives more than her

Defendant Says Newberry
Campaign Cost $800,000
Grand Rapids, Mich., Feb. 11.
The candidacy of James W. Helme
in the democratic senatorial pri
mary of 1918, was under fire by
the government in the Newberry
election conspiracy case at both ses
sions of the United States district
coaft Wednesday.
Attempts to snow that some sig
natures to Helme nominating pe-'
titions alleged to have been circu
lated at the behest of the Truman
H. Newberry senatorial campaign
committee were forged were fol
lowed by festimony of a Grand
Rapids printer, who swore that Wil

fendant, arranged with him for
printing the blanks.
The government also put into the
record a quotation from one de

With a cast of 20 people, headed

Orpheum this week is the rollicking
musical coincdy, "The Overseas Re

I picture, "Strictly Confidential,"
which opens a three-day run at
the Moon (heater commencing to

part story. s
This photo-production story tells
of a provincial English actress who
marries a lord whose servants are
all relatives of hers. Early in the
story she comes to the lord's castle,
an orphan; but the rigid decorum of
the servants make life impossible
for her. She runs away, goes back
to the stage and makes an instan
taneous hit. During this phase of
her career she meets an artist and
falls in love with him. She docs
n5t know that he is the Lord Ban
tock from whose castle she escaped
not very long since. However, they
are married and return to his an
cestral home to live. Here the new
Lady Bantock finds herself hedged
about by her relatives, who are now
her servants, i Her position is made
more difficult by her decision not
to disclose her family relations to
her husband. When she can no
longer bear the burden of silence
and constant disciplining from her
uncle, the butler, she confesses to
her husband and discovers that life
at the castle -is henceforth to be all
joy and sunshine.
Strand Manager Watts is very
much elated over the success of
"Mary's Ankle," the Thomas H. Ince
pioduction starring Douglas Mac

theater. The public has so heartily
endorsed "Mary's Ankle" that the
management has extended the en

picture is being shown at the Strand
two weeks ahead of any other the

handed to the fteople to be main

"Tiie Land of Opportunity," a Sclz

comes to the Rialto theater for three

a delightful entertainment, but also
shows that there is no room in this
country for the radical element. The

coln, and the action revolves around
two periods in his life; first when he
was a poor boy, unheard of in the

The lesson the picture conveys is
that this is a good government, a
great country, and those who do not
like it have the opportunity of mov

First of all, "Mary's Ankle" is having its first showing anywhere
in the United States at this theater, in fact two weeks in advance
of any other theater, and it all happened in this way:
Thomas H. Ince "discovered" these two delightful stars and pro
nounced them the "find" of the season.
Their success in "23y2 Hours' Leave" and "What's Your Hus
band Doing?" was instantaneous, and naturally Mr. Ince was curi
ous as-4o how their third play, "Mary's Ankle," would be received
by the public, as he pronounced it 100.
A test showing was decided on in advance of release date and
this theater chosen. No big promises were to be made and the
picture announcedonly in the regular channels.
The verdict has been rendered by those who have attended the
showing; we have received compliment after compliment and the
theater has been in a constant state of laughter.'
Therefore we feel we would be doing those who have not had the
pleasure of seeing this wonder-play an injustice by not extending
the she ing, and we are pleased to announce the engagement for
the entire week.
