testify falsely against Thomas J. Moon-
ey, under sentence of death for one of
the bomb murders here in July, 11)10.
The defense of Mooncy and other de
fendants in the bomb murder cases was
financed largely by the International
Workers Defense league. '
This money was paid Rlgall through
his attorney, Slaude O. Ellis, who accom
panied him here from Grayvllle, III., Ri
gall testified. Amount of the total paid
him was not brought out '
"Did you, in company of Attorneys
Thomas O'Connor and Edwin V. Mc
Kensie, visit the offices of Attorney Job
Harriman, who defended the McNamara's
in Iios Angeles?" Attorney Samuel M.
Sbortridgc, Oxman's counsel, asked the
witness,
"We visited some lawyer's office in
that city I don't remember whose," Ri

Canadian Headquarters In France,
Sept 21. (By Canadian Press Limited)
A captured letter, written by one Ger
man soldier to another, gives some indi
cation of what is happening in the occu
pied territory. He soys:
"I am attached to the requisitioning
servlco in Fouotles district We take
from the French population all their
lead, tin, copper, cork, oil, candlesticks,
pots, and anything, at all like that goes
off to Germany. It is not very nice often
to have to take their wedding presents,
but the necessity of war forces us to It
I bad a good haul the other day with one
of my comrades. In a walled up room we
found 10 instruments in copper. Those
alone weighed 25 kilos. And there was a
whole lot of stuff besides. You can
imagine what kind of a noise the old hag
who owned them made. I just laughed.
She deserves nil she got There was ten
thousand marks worth of stuff there, for
I did not count a lot of bales of pure
wool and lQts of other things. The com
mandant was very pleased, and we ought
to receive a reward."

Saturday Is Day in Which All
Women Are Asked to Fill and
Sign Cards.
Saturday is the day upon which all wo
men of Lane county are requested to fill
out one of the registration cards left at
their homes Thursday and turn them in
at the Red Cross headquarters.
The Honor Guard girls who distributed
the cards report a very good reception
in most Eugene homes, though in some
few cases they received scant courtesy.
Mrs. Anna B. Shaw says:
v"Tho first suggestion that the wo
man's committee makes to women, par
ticularly those busy in their homes, -4s
that they do exactly what they have been
doing only a little better if possible,
than before.
The committee believes that most wo
men can help best by better management
in their own homes, so as to save food,
save fuel, avoid waste of all kinds, and
make no unusual demands for service or
commodities. If all women do this, the
resources of the country in men, ma
terials and money will be more available
for war purposes.
Then if there is any time and oppor
tunity for work outside the home, do that
which is nearest you. But by all means
get in touch with your local unit of the
womaVs committee; to help you find
your place in the war ia just what it has
been organized for."

Most soap and prepared shampoo
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as It dries the scalp and makes1
the hair brittle.
The best thing to use ia just plain mol-,
sided cecoaaut oil, for it is pur and en
tirely groaaaleas. It's very cheap, and
beats the most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. Ton can get tins
at any drug store, and a few ounces will
last the whnlo family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it la, about a teaspoonful is all
that Is required. It makes an abundanc
of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thorough
ly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and ia soft fresh
looking, bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to
handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out
every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff.

Marshall Issues Statement Re
garding Von Bernstorff's
Message to Berlin Asking for
Fund to Influence Congress.
Washington, Sept 21. In voicing tho
general resentment in congress over dis
closures of Count von Bernstorff s mes
sage, Vice-President Marshall today gave
out a statement declaring tho disclosure
was proof of the German government's
effort to divide America into factions, by
corrupt means, if necessary.
"This ought to end forever any and
every doubt in the mind of any Americans
as to the justice and necessity for this
war. It proves that the German govern
ment was seeking all along to split us
into factions by corrupt means if neces
sary and possibly hoping In time to win
the war in Europe and then to humiliate
and subjugate us. - He who is now not
wholeheartedly for the war runs a grave
risk of being suspected ot getting part of
the $50,000. This Is an honest congress
and all its members will resent this in
sult to its intelligence and honor."
