Don't Spoil Your Hair By Washing It When you wash your hair, be careful what you use. Most soaps | and prepared shampoos contain too I much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the ! hair brittle. Tle best thing to use Is Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap and beats anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with I water and rub it in, about a tea [ spoonful is all that it required. It I makes an aboundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly I and rinses out easily. The hair dries ! quickly and evenly, and is soft, j fresh-looking, bright fluffy, wavy ! and easy to handle. Besides, it | loosens and takes out every particle I of dust, dirt and dandruff. HUGE DRYDOCK IS DEDICATED Mrs. Josephus Daniels Presses Button That Floods Structure Honolulu, T. H., Aug. 22.—With j Mrs. Josephus Daniels, wife of the j Secretary of the Navy, pressing the j button that flooded the structure, i the great Pearl Harbor drydock was dedicated by Secretary Daniels yes ' terday. The drydock is one of the largest in the world. It is 1,001 feet long and has an inside width of 138 feet land inside depth of 32Vi feet. It I will accommodate any ship afloat. | and represents an investment of more than $5,000,000. The dock and naval base have a i setting in what is considered one of the finest natural and most beautiful harbors in the world. En tirely landlocked in a Km of hills. Pearl Harbor could anchor all the naval fleets of the world out of view from the open sea. Pearl Harbor has an area of ap proximately 10 square miles. Its depth is approximately 60 feet. En trance to the harbor has been made safe for all time by dregging and other work done by the United States. The dry dock had been under construction since 1910. Its open ing had been planned to take place long before to-day but various de lays and the war caused postpone ment. The most serious delay occured when the entire bottom of the dry dock upheaved suddenly, ruining all work that had been done and de laying construction for a year. First theories were an earthquake had caused the mishap. Then engineers decided the dredged out bottom left a floor softer than surrounding terrain and the pressure of the lat ter caused the center to upheave. The accident necessitated a new plan of construction. Concrete was moulded into huge blocks, sub merged and securely anchored. From this beginning the other work went rapidly forward. The dock is operated by the latest type of machinery. Electrically driven pumps free the dock of water after entrance of a ship for repairs.

HXHJEUSBTTRG TEJLEGItAPfI WOMEN MAY SUIT THEIR OWN STYLES Fashion Show Displays Wide Latitude in Designs of Feminine Apparel New York, Aug. 22.—This is the land of the free and the home of the brave, and you may have any kind of a "silrouette" that you think is becoming next winter and still remain a woman of fashion. In other words, consult your own type of beauty in having your clothes made. The general tendency will be to ward long, straight lines. The coats of suits will be a trifle longer, the skirts of evening dresses a trifle shorter—quite short if you have a pretty foot and ankle. Russian blouses will be good and your tail ored suits may abound in ripply ruffles. Such is the verdict of the fash ion show which has just opened ill the Ritz-Carlton ballroom under the auspices of the Shelton Looms and associated majiufacturere. The purpose of the show, as ex pressed In the catalogue is, "first, to stimulate interest in garments of American design, made from tex tiles of American manufacture." A special feature is an exhibit of more than fifty coats -of cloth which closely imitates the textures of the popular furs. Imitations of mole skin, cheetah, Persian lamb .and sealskin were shown made up alone and in combination with real fur. A few of the garments were of cloth of American manufacture made up by Paris designers. A group of unusually pretty mannikins displayed the beauties of the garments yesterday. A riding habit of black and white, with leather facings, a velvet dressing gown with a little cap, and an even ing gown of velvet, "illuminated" in color by hand, were among the cos tumes that elcited most applause from the large assemblage of buyers.

PAINTINGS ARE ON EXHIBITION Famous Whistler Pictures Now on View in National Gallery London, Aug. 22.—One of Whist ler's most famous paintings, the "Little White Girl," is now on view in the National gallery to which it was presented together with two other Whistler paintings, "Cre morne Lights'* and the "Fire Wheel." The "Little White Girl" was painted in 1864 and exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1865 where it created a sensation and aroused much hostile criticism. One critic regretted that Whistler should make the "most bizarre of bipeds" out of the women he painted, and an American critic described it as a "powerful woman with red hair and a vacant stare In her eyes." Among the few who appreciated its charm was Swinburne who after seeing it wrote the poem, "Before the Mirror." The picture, for the model "Jo" sat, shows a girl in a simple white gown leaning against the mantle, her face re flected in the mirror. "Cremorne Lights" is a nocturne WOMEN SHAVE UNKNOWINGLY When yon only remove hair from the surface of the skin the result Is the same as shaving.
