DON'T WASH YOUR
HAIR WITH SOAP

When you wash your hair, don't
use soap. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali,
which is very injurious, as it dries
the scalp and makes the hair brit
tie.
The best thing to use is just
plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for
this is pure and entirely grease
less. It's very cheap and beats
soaps or anything 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 tea
spoonful is all that is required. It
makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather. cleanses thorough
ly. 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 par
ticle of dust, dirt and dandruff

FIRST AID
Bill GETS
BY; LABOR
TO Fight

OLYMPIA, March 10.-Before
the house of representatives got
through with the first aid bill
late yesterday. the state came
very near to learning the truth
about 1t.
How the governor bargained
last fall with the employers to
use his influence against the int
tiative measure which proposed
real first aid, for promise that
they would support bill which
a commission he was to appoint
should draft; how a part of the
employers frankly broke that
agreement when they found they
could make better arrangements
with the present Legislature; AMI
how the bill which passed the
house was drafted with the sole
intention of pleasing the manu-
facturers-all these facts were
told by one speaker or another
on the floor with the most amaz-
ing frankness.
Worse Than Other.
1.-The bin passed yesterday aft
ernoon by the house is even worse
than the one which Gov. Listers
commission proposed, said
President Marsh Of the State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor here today. IF
the governor does not veto 1t,
we surely shall start referen-
dunn and also initiate another act
of our own.
ut is absolutely an employers
association bill. 1t is rotten
through and through. The gov
ernor can kill 1t IL he wishes"
When the bill as it finally
went through came up for Sec
ond reading, Lowman of Skagit,
a democrat who avowedly repre-
scented the governor, said:

state are not ready to break

pledge we made so solemnly las;
fall"
He then told how the governor
had appointed a commission, on
which we're three members of the
very committee which had called
on him, that had prepared the
bill he favored. He declared that
the senate bill did not keep this
faith. His motion to amend was

General Fund 10
Borrow $500

Because Tacoma has received
no tax money from the county for
operating expenses this year, ana
the general fund of the city Is
depleted to a few hundred dol
lars, Commissioner Atkins today
introduced an ordinance calling
for a loan OF $4,000 from the
light department. s
Although the city would have
to pay interest II It made pay
ments by warrants, as Is usually
done when the treasury Is de-
pleted, the ordinance calls for no
interest to be paid the light de-
partment for use Of the money.
