And with overalls and milking stool she’s going out at the call of the Woman's Land Army of America to help avoid a predicted milk famine for the coming summer. “There is @ pressing demand for women to work in dairies," Mrs. Henry Wade Rogers, Chairman Exo- cutive Committee of the Land Army, said yesterday. “Officials of the Land Army have been assured by agricul- tural experts and by physicians that no demand on thelr patriotism can be more vital than this, t year’s experimental camps was proved beyond general dairy which a Conscientiousness, work woman ia are tasks well qua cleanliness gentieness In caring for animals are essentials successful dairy worker, and women hav these to @ degree.” Unite will bo formed at the office jof the Land Army, No, 19 West 44th Street, and women volunteering for | dairy work will be enabled to take a course at the Connecticut Agricultu ral College of one week, and will be | sent immediately to one of the ten or | twelve units which it is planned will | be established at once in Connecticut | Miss Kitty Sampson, a New York |girl, who is with the Bedford Unit, | tells some of the joys of being @ | dairymatd. “LT liked It 80 well,” Miss Sampson sald, “that after caring for six cows all last summer, I stayed right on through the winter and continued my farmeretté work. “Why, cows are the mort gentle and affectionate creatures in the world, I | learned to know all of my cows and | their pecullarities, It was in the wee jsma’ houre—for a city girl—that we got so chummy, You see, the cows had to be all milked by 5.80 ¢n the morning 80 a8 to catch the milk train with our milk.

You soo, I was born in England, and I have a brother fighting over there with the Royal Engineers, Our women at home think nothing of doing dairy work—in fact they enjoy it.” Miss Alice Goobel, a Barnard Col- lege girl, who went with the Bedford Unit last year to the farms near Mount Kisco, 1s enthusiastic about returning with the new dairy unit. “Milking requires skill and a knack, rather than strength,” she said “And T think it ia the finest, most healthful work in the world.

Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and en: tirely greaseless) is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with wae ter and rub it in, One or two tea- spoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly, The lather rinses out easily and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil, The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy, and easy to man- age. You can get mulsified cocoanut oll at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last every one in the family for months.—Advt.
