Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which Is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
raulslfled cocoanut oil, to r this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store, and
a few ounces will last the whole fam
ily for months.
Simply moisten the lialr with water
and rub it in abouf a teaspoonful is all
that is required. It makes an abund
ance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft, fresh looking, brignt, fluffy, wavy
and easy to handle. Besides, It loosens
and takes out every particle of dust,
dirt and dandruff.

TIIE CAPITOL'S ARCHITECTURE
You drop down into a tunnel in the
basement of the House Building and
proceed through that tunnel into the
cellar of the Capitol, and there, taking
the direct air-line route for Gardner'B
•office, you turn to the right and walk
along a corridor for quite a while and
then turn to the right again and walk
along another corridor for quite a
while and sight an elevator and hail it
and enter it and rise to the next level
arid turn to tho left and walk along a
corridor till you perspire gently and
turn to othe right and walk along a
•corridor till you get your second wind
and find yourself in a tropical jungle
of massive squat pillars through which
you pick your way in a generally left
wardly direction and at last emerge
and descend a few steps and then de
scend a large number of steps and
then descend a few steps more and
march perseveringly along a corridor
and turn briskly to the left and bound
up a flight of beautifully designed
steps and swerve sharply to the right
and stagger down a tlight of charm- ■
ingly executed steps into a dark hole!
}n which there are wooden partitions. |
and there you are! That's Gardner's
office.
All that the Capitol needs is to get
rid of the elevators and install a bat
tery of sure-footed mountain burros.

MONDAY EVENING,
NATION READY
FOR WAR FOOTING
Fleet to Remain on Alert at
.Guantanamo to Strike at
Moment's Notice
WILSON SEES CHIEFS
Mobilization Orders Are Ready
For Regular Army and
National Guard
Washington, Feb. s.—The country is
prepared to go on a war footing to
day.
Immediately on returning from the
Capitol President Wilson summoned
Secretary of War Baker and Secretary
of the Navy Daniels to the White
House. He desired to take up the mat
ter of necessary precautionary military
measures without delay. The Presi
dent, realizing that the hope to avert
hostilities is a slender one. asked for
a statement concerning the military
and naval establishments from the
point of view of preparedness for even
tualities. Ho also wanted suggestions
as to the first precautionary moves that
should be made at once.
The conference lasted about half an
hour and bristled with decisions sug
gested by the two secretaries and In
dorsed forthwith by the President. Ad
miral Mayo, commanding the battleship
fleet, is to his vessels in readiness
at Guantanamo and see that everything
is shipshape aboard all the vessels un
der his direct command.
Mobilisation Orders llroilr
Mobilization orders for the regular
army and National Guard are ready and
await only a word from the President
to be put into cfTect. Without addi
tional authority from Congress Presi
dent Wilson can direct that the regular
army be Increased at once to its full
war strength of 286,000 men and the
navy to $7,000. There are in the Na
tional Guard about 150,000 men. The
full strength of the gual-d, 440.000, can
not be required under existing law
within four years. The regular army
now numbers about 120,000 and would
not be recruited to full strength ex
cept on order of the President in an
emergency "of threatened war."
The President and Mr. Baker discus
sed the most expeditious means of
bringing the country to a war footing
in the shortest possible time the mo
ment hostilities with Germany became
a certainty.
The War Department's mobilization
plan, drawn up by the General Staff, is
regarded as fitting any imitial trouble.
It will be used also as the basis for the
establishment and equipment of a new
army which the President now real
izes must be speedily put into shape
if war confronts the country.
The tentative plans discussed revolved
about the actual mobilization and the
creation of the new forces. Orders
were sent out to every fort, arsenal
and depot of military supplies to re
double the guard against any purprise
attempt to damage them, but the main
features of the conference concerned
the plans for really putting the coun
try on a war footing.
So far as the mapped out mobiliza
tion is concerned, it is probable that
during the cold months at least the
National Guardsmen, after being mus
tered into federal service, would re
main at armories or in camp. Training
would be the watchword.
The plan for raising an army is be
ing considered on the basis of the
War Department's universal service
bill. Major-General Scott, chief of
staff, and army officers generally re
gard this as affording the most prac
tical means of providing a nucleus for
an efficient force and Secretary Baker
has indorsed this view.
| This plan, the details of which have
been withheld from publication, would
provide for the raising of approximate
ly 600,000 men by calling to the colors
all fit citizens of the age of 19, for
example. It Is estimated that there
are approximately 1,000,000 of this age.
Discounting those who would prove
physically unfit or for other reasons
would be rejected, and also discounting '
those who might be assigned to duty
in munition factories, etc., there would |
remain, roughly, 500.000 men for the
Intensive training which the War De
partment would require.
By this scale the War Department
calculates it could provide another
500.000 men by calling to colors men
of the age of 20 and another 500,000 at
the age of 21. Thus 1,500,000 men
could be called out by confining the
<tge limit from 19 to 21. The policy of
the department is to take first the men
who would have the least responsi
bilities.
Intensive training would equip raw
recruits for war service in approxi
mately nine months, it is estimated.
This was the conclusion reached by
Great Britain after the actual experi
ence of training men in tb* present
war.
I'M of the Navy
The War and Navy Departments were
I full of gossip to-day as to what steps
lay beyond the severance of relations.
The question of the use which might be
made of the navy occupied most at
tention as one that would have imme
diate bearing. Navy officials would not
say what plans were in contemplation,
whether American merchant craft
wduld be convoyed, patrols against sub
marines set up off American ports, or
submarine chasing squadrons organi
zed.
So far the fleet is concerned, offi
cials appeared to agree that Its present
situation was most desirable, even if
war is to come Immediately. It Is high
ly Improbable that any element of the
great organized fighting unit of the
navy would be employed in convoy or
other duty that would scatter its ele
ments. Presumably navy practice would
I follow that of other countries in the
> event of war and the fleet be kept at
some secret mobilization point, ready
to strike in any direction in which
fighting strength might be needed.
Officers who have been urging uni
versal service legislation are hopeful
that the bill prepared by the General
Staff for this purpose would be prompt
ly enacted should war come and the
organization of the army proceed along
the lines it lays down. Details of the
bill will not be disclosed until it has
been completed and submitted to Sec
retary Eaker and Congress.
Offer* From Plants
Secretary Daniels is understood to
have informed the President that a
deluge of patriotic offers already had
been telegraphed to him from private
firms throughout the country offering
to make every sacrifice to equip speed
ily the navy for any emergency,
i Shipbuilders, steel manufacturers,
projectile and armor plate concerns all
came to the front in a wave of patriot
ism to offer the best and quickest ser
vice they can provide. Munitions for
the Kntente and other European war
orders will be held up If the United
States regards it more Important for
energy to be devoted toward supplies
for the United States.
E. G. Grace, president of the Bethle
hem Steel Company, was one of the
first to offer the facilities of his cor
poration without restriction to the
government. He called Mr. Dank;* up

in declaring that the Penrose men did
not have the votes.
In the event that any trouble is
started it is understood that Senator

in which the administration will be j
raked. Reports were heard to-day i
that Senator Norman A. Whittcn, Al

Coal Appeals For
Dauphin County Court
The Public Service Commission by
Counsel Berne H. Evans, and by its
special counsel, William N. Trinkle,
to-day filed a petition to the Dauphin
county court asking that the appeals
from the decision of the Public Serv
ice Commission in the cases involving
rates for hauling anthracite coal to
I Philadelphia be placed upon the
j phln county court list. The commis
sion tiled answers on the part of tho
commission to the appeals from tho
decision which were entered by tho
Pennsylvania, Philadelphia and Head
ing, Lehigh Valley, Central of New
Jersey and Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western railroads. These appeals
were both separate and Joint and wero
taken_before the passage and approval
of the"act providing that appeals from
the decision of the Public Service
Commission should go to tho Superior
Court Instead of to the Dauphin
county court.
The petitions filed to-day ask that
the appeals be placed on the list for
argument end also that in the event
that the court has doubts whether
it has authority to dispose of the ap
peals that argument be beard.
