MOVIE ACTRESSES AND THEIR HAIR
Did it ever occur to you that every movie actress you have seen has lovely hair, while the most popular count their Curls as their chief beauty? In fact, many are leading ladies just because of their attractive looks. Inquiry among them discloses the fact that they bring out all of the natural beauty of their hair by careful shampooing, not with any soap or makeshift, but with a simple mixture by putting a toaspoonful of Canthrox twnich they get from the druggist) ln a cup of hot water and applying this instead of soap. This full cup of shampoo liquid is enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair instead of just the top of the head. After its use, the hair dries rapidly with uniform color. Dandruff. pxcphs oil and dirt are dissolved and entirely disappear. The hair is so fluffy that It looks much heavier than it is. It« luster and softness are delightful.— A fly.

OFFENSIVE ON ITALIAN FRONT NEW FAILURE

tack in the north on the Asiago plateau and between Brenta and the Piave collapsed almost at its inception before the stout resistance of the French and Italians. Although their offensive began Saturday, the Austrians on Monday had given up. at least momentarily. their efforts to rcach the Venetian plaiu to the south. In counter thrusts the Italians had regained several positions in the mountains.
Around Montello, just below wnere the battle line reaches the Piave, the British still hold their positions, awaiting further efforts, but the enemy made no attacks there Monday.
Enemy Units Shattered. The enemy commander is reorganizing the units shattered in the attempt to overcome the important height.
Between Zeson and FosSalta, a distance of less than three miles, the Austrians succeeded ln crossing the river after having been defeated in efforts to debouch north and south of these points. Zenson is east of Trevlso and if the Piave line should break

while the northern line holds, the Venetian plains would be opened to the invaders.
Rome, however, in its latent statement, reports that all the Austrian efforts to enlarge their gains on the western bank between Zenson ana Fossalta, have been checked by counter attacks. Prisoners taken by the Italians, French and British now total 5,000. The latest report from Vienna makes claim of no marked gains except the capture of Capo Sile, on li»e west bank of the Piave, south of Fossalta. The number of prisoners is now reported r.t 12,000.
Emperor Charles is reported to be in the southern Trentino directing the offensive and dispatches from Switzerland say that thousands of troops are being sent into the Trentino. Further Austrian efforts undoubtedly may be expected.
Heavy Forces Engaged.
The forces engaged comprise tareefourths of the whole Austrian army and the choicst trcops, under the command of Field Marshal Boroevic. (The number of men in an Austrian division is i.:t exactly known, but the number of Uivit.ons engaged would indicate thai approximately one million Austrian soldiers have been thrown into the battie.) i'aptrs found on officers show that after forcing the pasvuge of the iiiive, the

days of fighting the enemy columns ha.i succeeded only in realizing the minimum assigned for the first day according to the official note issued at Home. but one single allied aviator has been lost during the Austrian offensive, while 44 enemy rnachi'ios have be-*n troap.ht down.
Washington Is Confident. WASHINGTON, June IS.—W 11 practically all official and unofficial reports today indicating that the Austrian drive in Italy had been sharply checked by the reorganized Italian army and the British and French units supporting It, officers here discussed the situation with an increasing air of optimism.
In some quarters it is believed that these operations may have a decided effect on the situation on the western front.
There is a strong feeling that if the Austrian drive breaks down, the Italians will launch a counter offensive on a large scale. In that, event officials are certain that Germany would rush divisions of its troops to aid its ally because of the effect an Italion success would have upon the already turbulent internal situation in Austria.
May Affect West Front.
Some officers are confident (hat the lack of success for tne Austrians now disclosed already has resulted in a shifting of the German forces on the western front in preparation to rush divisions to the Italian front to prop up weak spots in case of a center drive. Certainly German reserves must '.if held for that service. It was argued, as the disorganization resulting from the failure of an attempted drive to g»'t through is almost as demoralizing .o an army as an enemy advance.
While there is any doubt in the minds of the German leaders as to the progress of events in Italy, a considerable force of German shock troops probably will be kept out of the western front fighting and held at points in Germany where they can be hastened to Italy if needed gome officers hold that the lull in the west may be due in part at least to the fact that tii» G«r-

No confirmation has oeen obtainable, but the fact that. General Wood has been regularly assigned as commander at Camp Funston. is not believed to have anybearing on his ultimate duty, as there are indications that he is under consideration for more important service.
