10 DON'T WASH YOUR j HAIR WITH SOAP i ' , | When you wash your hair, don t j use soap. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, ; which is very injurious, as it dries the su;lp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is .just plain mulsified cocoanut oil. for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats soaps or any thing else all to pieces. Yod can get ! this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a tea spoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy | lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries < quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff. MOTOR TRUCK FIRM SELLS 17 MACHINES INONE WEEN International Company Exceeds All Previous Retail Sales in This Pe riod—Most Customers Were Entire ly New and Came Unsolicited The International motor truck de partment is now located in their new and well-equipped quarters at 619 Wal nut street. The International motor truck is backed by a manufacturing experience of more than seventy-five years, and hundreds of service stations are main tained for the protection of its pa trons. This Harriiburg branch stands for service and square dealing, as evi denced by their constantly increasing trade. The expressions of satisfied cus tomers and repeat orders make this In ternational motor truck department a pleasure to its owners and employes. To the modern business man this motor truck is as indispensible as the tele phone and daily papers. During the past week the actual re tail sales of motor trucks numbered seventeen. It exceeded anything ever accomplished in one week's period of time. A very satisfactory feature of it was that, it consisted mostly of en tirely new customers, who came to us unsolicited and without effort on our part. In making comparisons between the motor truck and the horse, we are in clined to place motor truck transporta tion in direct competition with horse transportation, totally ignoring the mo tor truck's superior flexibility, its business-building possibilities and its utility in ways for which the horse is entirely unfitted. When considered in this broaderscope and the motor truck is given full credit for all its advan tages, the comparison takes on the same aspect as the comparison between the efficiency of a horse car and a modern trolley car; in other words, the motor truck belongs to a new e.a. It is the result of the demands of modern busi ness for a better, faster and more effi cient means of transportation. The business man cannot afford to overlook the business-building possi bilities and the economies that an In ternational motor truck presents. Adv.* GERMAN MISSION'S JOURNEY HALTED BY ITALIAN REFUSAL! Rome. March 24.—The Italian gov ernment is said to have refused a re quest made k<v Germany that a mission sent to Erythrea be permitted to con tinue its journey through that district into Abyssinia. Italy's refusal is re ported to have been based upon the be lief that the object of the mission was to incite an attack by Abyssinians upon British forces in the Sudan. Erythrea is an Italian protectorate in East Africa, bordering on the Red tea opposite the Turkish territorv in Asia. AUSTRIAN ENGINEERS BLOW UP BUILDINGS IN LINE OF FIRE Geneva.

The buyers have returned from I'aris. Almost all the Parisian dressmakers hold their openings, and the buyers bought their models and hurried them to the steamers to get them well on their way before the maritime blockade should be enforced. The New York openings occur imme diately. after the Parisian openings, merely giving the buyers and their booty a chance to arrive. A brief summary of what is shown from Paris in our openings here in New York are: Skirts are short and full, coats are long, three-quarters and very short. Narrow lower skiTt sections are placed beneath a wide overskirt which almost covers this lower section which is often of chiffon or lace—an odd but effective feature of summer modes. Simplicity is the marked tendency in all these new gowns. The colors are Jess vivid, and in a crude khaki, biege, sand ami the numerous plum colors. m The New Basque Waist and Fulled Skirt The high waistline and the normal one has taken the place of the moyen age line in many of the models, although the long line is often expressed in the girdle which comes down over the hips. The short round and pointed basques are combined with fluffy, frilled skirts. In my illustration is shown a dress made of striped taffeta. The short waist is round, with a slight point directly in the front. The square ( allot neck is a very much more becoming line at the neck than the straight Dutch or round neck. The full skirt is especially attractive and "summary" with ruffles, which dip in the front and back, and are about knee-length at the sides. For some time the corset-makers have been making their corsets to curve in a little at the sides, and give the slightlv smaller waist effect, and then they added a little to the height of the corset and added inserts of elastic to the backs and fronts. Some of the very newest models which are being sent out to trv the market are undoubtedly pinching the fronts a trifle. It is hard to tell whether this is a forerunner of what we may expect in small waists, or merely a compromise in order to take care of such a contingency if it should suddenly come upon us. Parisian sketches show a strong tend ency toward straight girdles, which are worn at the normal waistline. These are more becoming to the waist that is "nipped" in a trifle than the one which is straight up and down. The dainty muslin frocks, which are already being made for summer, have three-inch belts of black velvet ribbon. The high collSr is very smart, but Paris has swerved a trifle from her alle giance to it and is wearing oue which is high in 'be back and open in the front. One vei pretty collar which I noticed was a s jght band of batiste buttoned in front ith tiny buttons, and, around the top. our triangular pieces of the same ed id with narrow lace overlap ping one knottier around the neck and falling over the high, boned band. Lace and taffeta are combined a great deal for afternoon frocks. One charm ing dress of taffeta is four yards wide at the hem. The waist is tight, and from the waistline begins a band of the same color, which winds in spiral effect Omega ... Oil Swellings & Inflammation Rub Omega Oil gently over the plactt that hurts. Then soak a piece of flan nel with the Oil, lay it on the painful part and cover with a piece of dry flannel. This simple treatment usually gives quick relief. Trial bottle ioc.

For the frocks for warm weather there are quantities of voiles and i crepes, in plain colors and figured, [ which are stunning. In the illustration is a white crepe dress with an embroid ered design in white, which marks the fabric off into diamonds. The simplicity ! of style by which it is developed is ! charming, indeed. The waist is round and full with a narrow round yoke of lace. The three-quarter sleeves are tin - ished with a frill of lace. The plain full skirt is finished at the bottom with a i wide flouncing of crepe with a design which matches the material. j /) !

Mull, embroidered with simple but- ! tonholed edge in blue and other colors, is used to make and to trim the charm ing period hats, poke-bonnet 9 and quaint, old-fashioned leghorns, which ' are the novelties in millinery for sum- i mer. The hats of tulle and chiffon with transparent brims are very smart and decidedly attractive. I saw one not lonjf nyo of tulle with a pleated crown and a brim of the tulle doubled.

There's a Vast Difference Between a Hov/itror rnd a Big Gun. Not every civilian can tell offhand the reference between a gun and a howitzer. According to the Army and Navy Journal, the howitzer. In propor tion to its weight, throws a shell very much heavier thau that which a gun throws, but gives it much less muzzle velocity and has a correspondingly shorter range. Take, for example, a modern gun that weighs forty tous, gives a muzzle velocity of 3.000 feet a second and has a range of anything up to fifteen miles. A howitzer of the same caliber would weigh only 0.3 tons and would give a muzzle velocity of only 1,100 feet a second. The gun can be mounted only on board ship or In permanent fortifica tions. but the howitzer can be taken Into the field. It has a special trans porting wagon, from which It can be readily shifted to Its firing carriage. The foreign 0.3 Inch howitzer is capa ble of being fired up to 05 degrees of elevation and at 43 degrees has a range of 10,900 yards, Its maximum. The shell weighs 760 pounds and carries as a burster 114 pounds of high explosive. It is said that the shell contains no shrapnel, but that assertion is open to doubt. The Longest Courtship.
