COCOANUTOIL MAKES
A SPLENDID SHAMPOO

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition. the less soap you
use the better.
Mos; soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkaN. This
dries the scalp. makes the hair brit
tie. and IS very harmful. Just plain
-nuls!fed cocoanut oil (Which is
pure and entirely greaseless). Is
much better than soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply motsten your hair with
water and rub II in. One or two
teaspoonfuls Will make an abund-
auce Of rich. creamy lather. and
cleanses tho hair and scalp

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. a.
Ralph De Palma, 32 years old,
worlds greatest driver of racing
automobiles, poised his wrench
and pliers over his dismantled
car as he discussed the part he
would play in the Vanderbilt cup
race to be run at the worlds fair
today.
81 will not say am going to
WIN this race" De Palma stated:
Il will say, instead, that l am 60
ing to TRY" And when a race
driver says he is going to try he
means that only the fate that
rules mems destinies can prevent
his winning.
MY brother John and I always
tune up our car. This is because
of the pleasure we derive and also
because-well, If you do q thing
yourself you think 1t is satisfac-
tory. But don't get me wrong;
l don't mean that John and I are
the ONLY auto fixers in the
world. 1t is hobby of mine
to go over the car personally be-
fore a race"
Ralph De Palma has driven in
three Vanderbilt races, in the
first of which he took second, and
winning the other two-a record
unprecedented by any driver for
this trophy.
This race will be hard to win
because OF the large list of en-
trants, 33. more than any of the
Vanderbilts," said De Palma.
and the cleverest drivers of tho
game are in 1t.
1T is a combination of things
that wins races; the necessity of
being good driver and me-
chanic, a good judge of pace, and,
above all. above all, keeping your
head. But tires play the biggest
part In the racing game today"
De Palma has driven in 20 road
races, winning nine of them and
taking fourth place in the Corona
tCal.) and the Santa Monica
(Cal.) road races. He has won
more races than any speed king
in the game.
De Palma began his racing ca
reer in 1908. He first sprang
into prominence by defeating B. |
Oldfield twice at the Readville
track meet in Boston in 'OS.
There may be such thing as
fear" he said, "but / have never |
yet run up against it. II ever do,
I suppose then my racing days
will be over.
But 1 am not fast driver"
De Palma continued. "124 miles
an hour is the best I ever did. |
100, you know, is the record.

LOST HIS TOE, GOT INSURANCE,
MADE $4,000 600: PRETTY SOFT

Twice a millionaire and now
estimated to be worth $4,000
600, Harry F. Sinclair, Tulsa,
Okla, oil magnate, has invested
a few of his simoleons in tile
Kansas City Federal league fran
chise which will be taken to an
eastern city.
Baseball is one of Sinclair
hobbies. He rode it when he was
millionaire before, for he won
and lost one fortune in the game
of oil. When the Independence,
Kan, club of the Kansas-Okla-
homa league won the pennant in
1908 Sinclair owned the fran
chise. Not a worlds champion
ship series has he missed since
his last batch of millions came to
him.
His start toward his present
fortune came when he lost toe
on which there was a large in
surance policy. Business is the
least of his bothers. Recently
his partnership firm, White and
Sinclair, contemplated and aban-
doned a pipe line project to the
gulf to take care of their product
from the mid-continent field.
TITS just as WELL" said Sim
clair, at will give us more time
at the seashore."
His brother Earl who is a con-

applied to the entire four miles
of the circuit, aside from about
three-quarters of a mile at one
end, where the course made use
OF part of a mile track, designed
for horse racing. The start and
finish were to be made on the
mile track. From either side of
this modified oval the course was
routed through a maze of state
and, foreign nation buildings. The
straight stretches enclosed most
OF the exposition's main build
ings.
In addition to Carlson and De
Palma, the field of starters today
included such notable drivers as
Barney Oldfield, Earl Cooper,
Louis Disbrow, Dusenbergm, Ca
leb Bragg, Marquis, the Italian,
and others.
A number of prominent auto
mobile manufacturers witnessed
the race. Among these were
Henry Ford, John w. WHY'S, II.
3. Firestone and f. A. Wilson.

VANDERBILT cup
RACE ON TODAY
AT EXPOSITION
EXPOSITION GROUNDS, San

EXPOSITION GROUNDS, San
Francisco, Feb. 22.-One hun
dred and fifty thousand spectators
gathered at the Panama. Pacific
exposition grounds here early to-
day to witness the Vanderbilt
cup race--Amerfcas automobile
road classic. The race was unique
In several respects. 1t was the
first time road race was ever
held over an entire enclosed
course and IL also was the first
time that q big automobile con-
test was ever staged on exposi-
tiOn grounds.
The distance to be covered by
drivers today was 294.062 miles.
There were rs laps to the race,
each lap representing 3.9053
miles. The crack drivers OF
America and four other coun-
tries were represented in the race.
There were rs entries, but Ralph
De Palma, twice winner of the
Vanderbilt cup, driving a Mer-
csdes car, was the favorite in the
betting. De Palma purchased his
car abroad last fall and 1t was
Q money winner in the Grand
Prix Of France last year. If De
Palma won today's race he would
attain permanent possession OF
the Vanderbilt trophy and in
such an event the Vanderbilt cup
race would be removed from the
list Of road racing classics.
The course itself was unique.
Instead OF racing over macadam
--as the Vanderbilt racers did at
Long Island and at Elgin-the
drivers contended over a track of
newly laid sheet asphalt. This
