WHY SOCIETY WOMEN WASH
THEIR OWN HAIR .
They do, not because it is a fad,
6ut because they wish to obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and be
sure they are not using anything
harmful.. They have found that in
washing the hair it is never wise to
use a makeshift, but is always ad
visable to use a preparation made
for shampooing only. Many of our
friends say they get the best results
from a simple home-made canthrox
mixture. You can use this at a cost
of about 3 cents a shampoo by get
ting some canthrox from your drug
gist and dissolving a teasnoonfurin
a cup of hoKwater. This makes
. enough shampoo liquid to apply to
all the hair instead of just the top
of the head, as with most prepara
tions. Dandruff, excess oil and dirt
are dissolved and entirely disappear
in the rinsing water. Your hair will
be so fluffy that it will look much
heavier than it is. Its luster and
softness will also delight you,

Senator Calls on Republican
Women at Their Headquar
ters and Explains His Views.
"There is no combination be
tween myself and the Wood people
in Nebraska," replied Senator Hi
ram Johnson when quizzed yester
day afternoon by , Mrs. Draper
Smith, chairman of the republican
women's committee.
The senator, accompanied by E.
L. Bradley, called for a social visit,
but before he left, the women put
hiin through something of a third
degree.
Mrs. Draper asserted, that she un
derstood that Frank Harrison.
Johnson's campaign manager in
Nebraska, had arranged some kind
of a combination involving tne
Johnson candidacy and the Wood
delegates, and she said she believed
the women wanted to know all about
this affair. -
The senator graciously told the
nnniM that triers was no combina
tion so far as he was concerned;
that he understood .the fcebraska
delegates ; would support the pri
mary choice.
Mrs. Smith asked the senator for
an expression on the league of na
tions and why he opposed the
league so vociferously. -
I yeld to no mother in her soe
eir fnr neace." he reolied. "but I
will not lend myself to any plan that
may require the sending of your
son or my son to police the world.
"She burden that would be imposed
by article 10 would be-too great for
us to assume; it would tie us up ev
ery war in the future. It is quite
natural that Europe should want a
partnership with us." '
The senator and the women sat
around in a circle and chatted in
formally. ,

WHY?-
Do We "See Stars" When
Struck On the Head?
(Copyright 120 By Wheeler Syndicate,
Inc.)
Each of the five senses sight,
hearing, feeling, taste and touch
has its special set of nerves
through which' sensajtions are
recorded in the brain. With the
exception of the nerves of touch,
which extend to all parts of the
body, these perform special func-.
tions for certain individual or
gans the nerves of sight being
connected with the eye, those of
smell with the nose, those of
taste with the mouth and those
of hearing with the ears.
Whenever the brain receives a
sudden shock, such as would fol
low a blow on the head, the vi
sion nerves are disturbed in such
a way as to produce the effect of
seeling flashes of light or "stars",
as .the resultant impression is
usually called. The extremely
sensitive eye nerves cannot be
jarred without producing this ef
fect of light while a severe blow
will often react in a similar man
ner upon the nerveSMf hearing,
thus' leading the person who is
struck to imagine that he is
listening to odd, unusual sounds.

Dirt Begins to Fly as
"Cleanup Week" Opens
Yesterday was the first day of
"Cleanup Week" officially desig
nated by Mayor Smith.
Aided by clear weather, citizens
and haulers of refuse and garbage
were making deep impressions on
the accumulations of winter dirt.

"The dikes have to be watched
and mended all the time," said
Father Vedder. "And the wind
mills have to work and work to
keep the fields drained. No one can
be lazy in Holland. Each one has
to work well for what he gets. If
Holland should grow lazy she would
soon be baclc again in the Zuvder

that is all my sermon today."
"It is a better sermon than the
Dominie will preach, I know," said
Kat.'
"Tut, tutl ,You must never say
such things,"' said Father Vedder.
He got up and held out bis hands
to the Twins. -
"Come, we must walk along, or
we shall be late for church." he
said. "Here comes the Dominie
how." - - ' v . .
s There indeed was the Dominie!
Kit and Kat knew him well. No
one else dressed as he did. He wore
a high silk hat, and long, Alack coat
and trousers, such as city people
wear.
As he came along the road all the
ucoole bowed respectfully; the little

laid his hand on Kit's head.-- -..
"I wish he'd come to see us
again," said Kit after the Dominic
had passed by.
Father Vedder was pleased.
"I am glad to see that you love
your pastor, my son," he said.
"Wellsaid Kit, "I don't really
like him so very much, because we
have to be washed and recite the
catechism, and mind all our man
ners when he comes. But mother
always has such good things to eat
when the Dominie comes doesn't

everything!"
"If it weren't for the catechism
and such things it would be some
thing like St Nicholas day." sighed
Kat. "But the Dominie never for

said Father VeddeY; "then they are
glad to see the good Dominie as
well as the cakes. Now no more
chatter- Here is a penny for each

He gave them each a penny. Kit
put his in his pocket. Kat didn't
have a pocket, so she held hers
tight in her hand.
At the church door they met
Grandfather and Grandmother.
Grandfather looked very fin$ in

I'M THE GUY!
By R. H. ALLIE.
I'M THE GUY who expectorates
in your waste basket when he's
chewing tobacco.
Why shouldn't I? '
' I've got to spit. The waste bas
ket's handy. ' (
;.Wrhat difference does it make if
you ; Jtave a ? cuspidor somewhere
around. I can't bather to get up
and locate it. r
1 know the waste basket wasn't
intended for that purpose. It's a re
ceptacle for trash; but it can serve
a double duty it necessary.
Just because you think it' unsight
ly is no proof that.jt is.v Besides
I'm not going to be there long. 'So
it won't bother me. '
' And anyway you" shouldn't be so
finicky about such, things. A waste
basket's fit for only bunk stuff and
makes as good a cuspidor as it does
a waste basket.
If you don't like it, that's your
worry, hot mine. Have a cuspidor
handy. Don't kick. Turn your head
away and dump it out when I leave.
That's how I feel about it.
"Thermos Bottle House"
Is Invention of Omahan
Air castles art to i become a real
ity; and they will batter down the
high cost of building, according to
David C. Patterson, Omaha lawyer,
who has just been notified that his
patent for "thermos bottle houses'
has been approved by the United
States government. A
Mr. Patterson has invented me
chanism to work re-enforced con
crete in the construction of homes
and buildings, into double walls
confining a continuous dead air
space. . - t y
This dead air space, which wilt
not only be in .the walls, but also
in tne rooi ana unaer xne Dasement,
will keen the interior :lof the build
ing Varm in winter and cool in sum
mer on the same plan as the thermos
bottle Mr. .Patterson claims.
The walls can be constructed for
one-half the cost,' per square foot,
of frame walls, and for one-third
the cost of brick Walls, according
to Mr. Patterson, who says that his
"thermos bottle house'- can be
heated in winter with one-half the
fuel, and that electric fans in sum
mer will be unnecessary. Mr. Pat
terson has applied, for foreign
patents.
