This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harm- ful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oll (which is pure and entirely greaseless), is much better than any- thing else you can use for shampoo- ing, as this can't possibly injure the hair. «Simply moisten your hair with wa- ter and rub it in. One or two tea- spoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the bair and scalp thoroughly. The lat- ter rinses out easily, and removes avery particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil, The hair is fine and 'silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. ; You can get mulsified cocoanut ofl at most any drug store.

And in view of the amiably communistic civiliza- tion, informed by brotherly love, which MacMillan describes, (it is not altogether surprising that they find the intricacies of international rival- ries a little too hard for. them, and comprehension of the Qerman idea entirely hopeless. MacMillan started north in July, 1913, and before the end bf sumer established his headquarters at Etah, the metropolis of Northwestern Greenland--a settlement consisting, under normal conditions, of four families, eaeh housed in an igloo of rocks and ice, half buried in thé ground. He was at Etah when the war broke. out, but mail doesn't reach the Far North very often, and it was the late spring of 1915, when the war was already nearly a year old-----when Americans were waiting for the answer to the first Lusitania note, when the Germans were driving the Russians backward through Ga Hicla--that he first learned of the dis appearance of the world that he had known. | It was Peter Freuehen, the Danish trader at North Star Bay, 120 miles] south of Etah, who brought him the news. -By the! first boat that pushed its way northward through the fréaking ice and then by overland INDEPENDENT ARABIA. 3 | British Aided King of the Hedjaz tn | His struggle. It is probable that many years will done by the historians fo some phases of the great war. Ii has truly been a world-wide struggle and some of the minor campaigns waged with great Heroism afd yielding results of temporary obscurity but possibly ultimate major importance in world history have been enacted all unbe- known to the vast majority- of the malilons gf people who believed they were watching closely the whole of the.war's activities, For instance, HOW 'many of those who believed themselves to have been | students of the war gud who hung _PAGE FIFTEEN, maps all over thelr library walls can | tell aught that is of importance about | the struggle of 'the Arabs to free themselves from Thrkish control? Who knows of the siege of Medina or of the efforts to sever the Turkish liné of communications between Da- mascus and the former city? Yet out of this campaign may come an indeperident world state just as out of the Russian efforts in Armenia and the British efforts in Palestine, may come new small nations. To Great Britain, which has played £0 large a part in bringing this about, the chief advantage in the years to come would then be the row of buffer states these new nations would inter- pose between European influence and India. There was a time whén Brit- ish statesmanship looked upon Tur- key as such a buffer state. But the Turks turned fo other friends and what was once a protection to India became, in late years, a menace with the approach of German influence, But to the world at large the chief interest would be found dn the Tecre- ation of an independent nation that at one time played a proud and his- toric part in the world, The home of Mohammedism and, before the trans- ference: of -the seat of the Mohami- medan power from Damascus to Bag- dad, its leader, Arabia, gradually lost its influence and importance and be- came split up into a number of inde- pendent principalities. In 1570 the tribes of Yéman and Hedjaz acknowl edged the sugzerainty of the Turkish Stan.
