testified to the belief that the prison

"Can you mention any occasion
on which the prisoner behaved in a
manner to warrant your statement?"
he was asked by the learned counsel.
"Yes." answered the witness.
"Once at work he got half a crown
too much for his wages, an'—"

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.

YANK'S LOVE GRAMMAR
A boy with the medical corps of
the American Army of Occupation
in Germany writes to his mother:
"You see a beautiful girl walking
down the street. If she has silk
stockings on, she is feminine. If she
is singular, you become nominative.
You walk across to her. changing to
verban and then become dative. If
she's net objective, you become plur
al. You walk home together. Her
mother is accusative. You become
imperative. You go In and sit down.
The little brother is an Indefinite
article. You talk of the future. Bhe
changes to the object. You kiss her
and then she becomes masculine, her
father is present, things are tense
and yo.u are a past participle.—On

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
