HOW TO GOVERN DANISH INDIES PROVES PROBLEM

t WASHINGTON. Jan. 25. The form of government for the Danish West Indies was discussed at a conference to"day between Secretary Lansing and ' Senator Stone, chairman of the foreign ' relations committee. ' Senator Stone recommended, and said afterward that Secretary Lansing ' agreed that the present form of government 6hould be continued as near- ; ly as possible under the direction ot either an army or naval officer as ' deemed best by President Wilson. The present form of government is very Bimple and centers largely about a 'general council chosen on a limited suffrage. An American customs official also will be appointed. ; The chief question as to whether the islands should be under an army or a : naval officer. Senator Stone said, will be left for the decision of the President ' The navy, which was largely lnstrv 'mental In the purchase of the islands as a valuable naval base in the Caribbean and near the Panama canal desires a government somewhat like that of Guam. The army would like control of the islands on the basis that the insular bureau of the war department already controls' most of the island possessions.

A Habit of Mind Illustrated In the Case of at Least One Very Useful Household Article.

IT is a peculiar fact that many people get into the habit of being squeamish about nothing at all. Certain words, for Instance, are taboo when by every reason they should form part and parcel of the conversational medium of exchange. The thing is geographical too. In England, for example, no lady or gentleman would think of using the word "stomach" in an ordinary conversation. This led Mr. J. M. Barrie to write a very amusing play, "Little Mary." in which the aforementioned part of every man and every woman's anatomy

was referred to as "little Mary. Now, English people do not hesitate to speak about their "little Marys," whereas they would hesitate a long time before using the correct term. In our own country, quite sillily enough, the word "bed" immediately takes on some sinister significance in some minds. And yet if there is any one thing that adds more to man's comfort, that does more to make life worth living it has yet to be discovered. And if people rebel at the mere mention of one bed what is to be said when they come in pairs? To what a ridiculous extent such a prejudice may be carried wa3 illustrated in New York when announcement was made of a play by Salisbury Field and Margaret Mayo, called "Twin Beds." Miss Mayo has always been recognized as a brilliant writer of farce and a woman of refinement and taste, Who knows very well where to draw the line between wit and vul

garity. And those who hare seen the play say that while it is frankly and funnily human it does not draw aside the veil from anything thai should be hidden. The story Involves a . young man, Harry Hawkins and his exquisite little wife, Blanche. She believes in twin beds, and be is opposed to them. But Blanche, as Is a way with women, carries her point, and twin beds are established in the Hawkins menage. As a result, the little lady finds her-' self in a mixup with a sentimental opera singer and his wife, who live in the same apartment house and who also rejoice in the possession of sleeping apparatus of the twin family. How other tenants of the same apartment bouse are drawn into the complications neec" not be described in detali here. But i lot of highly exhilarating situations ?re developed before the final explanation opg Blanche from an unjust accusation.

Alkali in Soap Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,

It you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali.

This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. '

The best thing for steady use is just

ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which

is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive 6oap or any

thing else you can use.

One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse

the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich,

creamy lather, which rinses out easily,

removing every particle of dust. dirt.

dandruff and excessive oil. The . hair

dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and

silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy, and easy

to manage. .. . ' ,v v. a " .

You can get mulsified cocoanut oil

at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every mem-

ber of the family for months.
