Bo Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which la very
Injurious, as It dries the scalp aad
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use la Just plain
mulslfled cocoanut oil. for It Is pur
aad entirely greaselesa. If a very cheap
and beats th most expensive soaps or
anything els all to pieces. Ton can
get this st any drug store, and a few
euneea wlli last the whole family for
months.
Mmply moisten the hair with water
and rub It In. about a teaspoonful la all
that la required. It makes aa abund
ance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily. Ths
hair dries quickly and evenly, and Is
soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy,
wavy and easy to handle. Besides It
loosens and takea out every particle
of dust, dirt and dandruff. Adr.

SINN FEIII WILL HOI
ACCEPT HOME RULE
Only Complete Separation of
. Ireland as Sovereign State
Will Be Considered. .
CONSCRIPTION HOPED FOR
Enforcement, It It Believed, by Ens-
land, Would Drive Entire Irish
Population Into Sinn
Fein Party.
BT CHARLES N. WHEELER.
DUBLIN. May L (Special.) Th
Sinn Fein will not accept any eystem
of dominion homo rule, however lib
sraL Only the complete eeparatlon
of Ireland from England as a eov
erelgn state will be considered, and
they are opposed to Ireland In any
way helping in the war under the
present government- Leaders ara hop
ing that Ena-land will attempt to en
fore conscription, believing it will
fore nearly th entire Irish popula
tion Into the Sinn Fein party.
De Valera today explained to me the
Sinn Fein attitude:
"The Sinn Fein Is not Interested in
home rule. It means nothing In ou
programme. Complete separation from
England la our demand, and until th
la granted there will be no settlemen
of the Irish problems.
Irish Republic Wasted.
'S!nn Fein alma during the war for
International recognition of Ireland as
an Independent Irish republic. And
then for the republle to determine
whether It shall engage in war for or
against any nation. Meantime we hold
Ireland should maintain absolute neu
trality during the present war Just as
Spain or Norway.
"We deny the right of the British
Parliament or any foreign government
to legislate for Ireland. Tho Irish r
tlon never in Its heart has admitted
the right of Any foreign government.
England Included, to govern It In any
way. In the peace conference after the
war Sinn Fein binds Ireland to attend
a aoverelgn Independent atate and
not as a province of England.
"The fear that Catholics will per
secute Protestants under an tndepen
dent government is 111 advised. If it
were not for the British ministers.
there would be no Ulster question. Ths
proof of this Is that the Protestant
unionists of South Ireland are living
peacefully with their Catholic neigh
bors.
Free Goverasaeat Demaaded.
"The Sinn Fein recognises no creed
class or race, and would be the laat
to auggest persecution of any person
for rellgloua views. We hold that Ire
land comes under the definition bf self
determination now, and as a smaller
nation must demand right now to set
up an Independent and free govern
ment.
We do not expect American news
papers to understand or support our
contention - as the American press is
affected by British thought. The Sinn
Fein will carry on the light, and there
will be no truce' with any party or
group In Ireland or elsewhere that
compromises our demand for absolute
Independence.
The truce declared a week ago be
tween all parties Is already shattered.
The Sinn Fein holds the agreement
only affected the opposition to con
scrlptlon and haa ripped old party sores
open In placing Arthur Griffith in the
field for the Parliamentary vacancy
of East Cavaa against the Nationalists.
Aatharlty fimt Recognised.
Although attempting to secure Par-
llamsntary seats, the Hlnn Fein prohib
its Its members so elected from taking
seats at Westminster, holding that to
be an acknowledgment of English au
thorlty.
The Nationalists, who now hold 77
seats In Parliament to six held by the
Sinn Feiners, are willing to accept
satisfactory" home rule If the princi
ple of conscription Is withdrawn by
the British government. The hope of
maintaining a united Irish opposition
la considered now faint unless ths en
tire Nationalist party is willing to Join
ths Sinn Fein rebellion, which Is out
of tho question, leaders say. If an ad
justment is made regarding conscrip
tion.
AMERICANS CRUSH BOCHE
Continued From First Pag.
for the hill positions in the Kemmel
region.
A few more hours, however, will
suffice for their reorganization and
another assault may be expected im
mediately.
The seriousness of the German in
dentions here has been evinced in nu
merous ways. On Monday, for ex
ample, they pushed at least one field
(run forward to within 700 yards of
the battle line and other (runs were
brought close up.
Artillery Tire Heavy.
Heavy artillery firing continued at
various parts of the battle line dur
ing the night and there were the usual
outpost actions. The back areas be
tween Ypres and Harebrouck .were
heavily shelled by the Germans. An
enemy attempt yesterday afternoon
to cut the barbed wire at VVieltje was
dispersed by artillery fire.
Emperor William appears to hare
been an interested and active visitor
in the Flanders region yesterday. Ac
cording to prisoners, he has been mak
ing his usual flamboyant speeches to
troops, and he stated the other day
that the Germans were trying to sep
arate the French and British armies,
adding characteristically that the Ger
mans were going to "put the British
back on the English Channel, where
they belonged."
Hun Boys at Front.
Prisoners say that the 1920 class of
Germans is being mustered in at Kreis
Offenbach, and they have been mus
tered in at Kreisnimptsch. Some of
this class already are in the field, but
they are not to be used in the fighting
unless their aid is absolutely neces
sary. The recent fighting in Flanders has
furnished many unusual and trying
experiences for civilians living near
the front, but none of these was more
amazing thai, that of two tiny French
children, who are in a British military
hospital. These tcU were among the
few unfortunate persons in Neuve
Eglise when the Germans over-ran that
place. The town Immediately became
a storm center which was continually
changing hands and German soldiers
took thess two babies Into trenches for
their protection.
British Reeeao Children.
During a counter attack the British
tortned and captured the trench. They
found the little onea aale and sound
and brought them back. Th children
had been living under terrlflo gunfire.
and how they escaped death cannpt be
accounted for.
Another French baby was found by
two signal men at another place. Ai
the child had no protection, the eol
diers took it with them to their billet
in a barn. That night the signal men
went to sleep with the baby between
them so that no harm might come to it.
German airmen bombed the barn, both
the Tommies being killed. The child
escaped injury and later was rescued
by other so'dlers.

Henry Howard, head of the Board's

are In training to be seamen. The
Board expects soon to establish train

than 4000 additional sailors will be

The Shipping Board has opened re

a bunch of Spring flowers and a basket
of choice fruits.
And tl.at, expressed in smiles that
mellowed wrinkled cheeks and bright

stir the hearts of all the residents sf
the farm who shared In the bounties
and entertainment provided by the mis

Mission to the poor farm, and never
was a May day more happily spent by
the women of the organization, who
went out with flowers, fruits, maga
zines, playing- cards, tobacco and other
articles that appeal to the lonely and
the aged and poor.
And the entertainment that was the
feature that thrilled. Albert S. Brown

Constitutional Amendment Necessary

Ralph E. Williams, Republican Na

hereafter for soldiers and sailors ac-
Ively in their country's service to par

though they may be temporarily ab

amendment will be submitted to the
voters at the November election. The
nltiative petitions will, be ready for

Between 10.000 and 16,000 of the
best young; manhood of this state are
today at the front flghtlnff ror their
country and it is not right that they
should be deprived of the privilege of
vcting- when that service makes it nec
essary for them to leave tne state,
said Mr. Williams yesterday. "In an
other year, an many more of these
ounsr men will have Joined the colors.
My amendment will make It possible
for these men who are In active serv
ice to take part in all elections In the
state as Ions; as that service involves
their temporary absence from the

LONDON. May 1. The Catholic
Union of Great Britain, an influential
organization, whose membership in

prominent Catholics, has sent to Car
dinal Gasparrl, the papal secretary of
state, for submission to Pope Benedict,
a series of resolutions passed by it re

hierarchy In Ireland in opposing Irish
conscription, "thereby apparently sup

the operation of the national service
act, or conscription, as respects Ire
land, beyond May 1. to which it had
been postponed previously.
Some of the morning newspapers say
the postponement is due to the govern
