Wood Urges Women to Join Red Cross; Services Are Needed

Major-General Leonard Wood, U. S. A., has. written an article to be issued in bulletin form by the American Red Cross under the head, "What Women Can Do in the War." -; "There are two very important ways in which women can help the nation in war," General Wood writes. "By working In Industry thereby releasing men tor the front, and by joining the American Red Cross. ' - ; "The time Is not yet here 'when women need go Into factories to take the places of men. But the time is here, not merely for the Red Cross to prepare, but to meet the actual test of reai service. "When the call comes, the Red Cross must act quickly. It must take care of a Vastly increased army and navy. Therefore its growth must parallel the growth in both branches of the nation's fighting force. . As no chain is stropger than its weakest link, so no army Is stronger than its Red Cross."; RESOLUTION EMPOWERS PRESIDENT TO CHECK TRADING IN FUTURES WASHINGTON, May 22. Regulation during the war by the president of grain trading exchanges is proposed in a resolution introduced today by Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, as an amendment to one of the food bills.

Boy Scouts in Alexandria will plant seventy-five acres of potatoes. Alkali Makes Soap Bad for Washing Hair Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkai, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp 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 the most expensive soaps or. any thing 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 water and rub it in, about a teaspoonful 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. Adv. The 3
