BRITISH REPORT SAYS All
GERMAN ATTACKS FAILED
7<ondon, April 23, 11.30 A. M. —
There was given out in London this
morning the regular semi-weekly re
port on conditions at the front. It is
dated April 22 and reads:
"The German attacks on Hill No.
which had stopped at the time of
issuing the report of -last Monday,
have been renewed several times*
attacks all failed, and for the
■time being they have ceased. We hold
the entire crest of the hill and so deny
its use to the enemy, who have at
tached great importance to it. ,
"There is not and there never has
been any truth in the German official
communication that the enemy had re
captured this position. During the
Operations around hill No. 60, the
enemy fired shells seventeen inches in
fliametcr into the town of Yypres.
s "On April 21, in the neighborhood
of La Bassee, the enemy exploded two
mines opposite our right. They failed i
to damage our' trenches, having dis- :
covered German mining operations in ;
the neighborhood of Le Tourquet, near !
Armentieres, we forestalled their ef- :
fort this morning by exploding a mine i
which we had prepared there.
"On April 19 one of our airmen 1
carried out a very bold and successful
single handed attack on an airship
shed near Ghent. He had to run a
gauntlet of lire from the ground, e.reet
fi.v a captive balloon, in order to at
tack his objective. In spite of this he
came down to within 200 feet of the
ground and effected his object, caus
ing a serious explosiou in the shed.

I DON'T WASH YOUE
HAIR WITH SOAP,
When you wash your hair, don't
use soap. Most sonps and prepared
shumpoos contniji too much alkali,
which is very injurious, as it dries
the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just com
mon mulsified' cocoanut oil, for this
is pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap, and beats soaps or any
thing else, all to pieces.
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, anil
rinses out easily. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh
looking, bright, lustrous, fluffy,
wnvy, and easy to handle. Besides,
it loosens and takes out every par
ticle of dust, dirt and dandruff.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
(it must be mulsified, plain cocoa
nut oil will not do) at any phar
macy, and a few ounces will supply
every one in the family for months.
This is the first year that the Penn
sylvania relay sports have been spread
over two days, it being the object of
the athletic authorities at the univer
sity to have the meet conform in a
measure with the Olympic games.
In the sfrint medley two men run
220 yards each, the third man runs
440 yards and the fourth man 880

yards. In tho distance medley, the first
runner goes 440 yards, the next man
half a mile, tho third three-quarters
and the last man a full mile. The third
feature on to-day's card was tho pen
athlon in which each of the athletes en
tered will compete in five events, the
hroad jump, discus and javelin throws
and the 200 and 1,500 metre runs.
The other new events were the 4 40-
yard hurdles, throwing tho 56-pound
weight for discus and the hop, step
and jump.
The interacademic, suburban high
school and local grammar school, high
school and college championship relays
were also on to-day's bill.
PAVING OF BERRY STREET
WILL START NEXT WEEK
Preliminaries Are About Completed—
Another Month Will See Wind Up

Work on New Sewers Being Bushed
Actual paving work on the mile
section of Derry street extending east
wardly from Twenty-third street prob
ably will be begun next week, so
Highway Commissioner Lvpch an
nounced to-day. The Central Construc
tion and Supply Company has yet a
few feet of granite curbing to set and

Railways Company will start relaying
its tracks. Then the concrete base will

W. H. Opperman, contractor, is
rushing the work on the sewers in
Market Square and Second street and
should complete the job within the
next two or three days. Sewers also
are being constructed in Derry, Car
lisle, Wiconisc'o, Reel and Fifth streets.
The contractor expects to have the up
town sewers finished before circus day,
Mav 6.
Less than a month's construction
work remains on the Paxton creek job.

sodding of the bankß. The improve
ment should be completed by July 1,
according to the estimate of Boarii of
