Work Is Wanted
Prospective Students
Of Willamette University

Inquiries are coming in fast at the
university from young men and women
who are willing to work to pay part Of
their college expenses. Many are not
able to come unless they are assured
of this work. There has not been much
difficulty in finding places for the
young women who are willing to do
housework for their board and room,
although several who would be glad to
do this work have not been placed. The
difficulty comes in securing positions
in offices for young ladies who are
graduates of high schools in the com
mercial courses and competent to han
die office work.
Inquiries from many young men in
dicate they are willing to do any kind
of work, but they too cannot come un-
less this work is assured.
The employment work this year at
Willamette is TO be handled on an en-
tirely different basis than in the past
Burgess Ford, the new principal Of the
academy, has charge of the employ
ment department. It Is his intentions tc
inquire carefully into the ability Of the
student before recommending him for
any special work, in order that those
who. do give Willamette students en-
ployment, may feel assured that care
has been taken in sending them young
man or woman adapted to their work,
Mr.. Ford is holding up applications
from several young men and womer
who will come here this fall, provided
they get work, and he would regard il
as a favor, if parties who are situated
so as to extend this help, would tele
phone him at the university.

USE CoCoANUT OIL
FOR WASHING HAIR



If you want to keep your hair in good
condition, the less soap you use the
better.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is
very harmful. Just plain mulsified
coeoanlt oil (Which is pure and entirely
greaseless), is much better than soap
or anything else you can use for sham
pooing as this can't possibly injure
the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub il in. One o, two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance Of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanscs 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 IL leaves
it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and
easy TO manage
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. II is very cheap
and few ounces is enough to last
everyone in the family for months.

from this point to the center of town

that nothing developed which might ind-
