Use CocOaHut Oil
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair
in good condition, the less soap
you use the better.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkaK. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and is very harmful. Just
plain mulsified 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 pos.
sibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or
two teaspoonfuls will make an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses
out easily, and removes every par
ticle 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 manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at most any drug store. 1t is
very cheap, and a few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the
family for months.

The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1915-07-14
By E. A. Peters

Tacoma has read with only
passing interest during the last
few months of the stage stars of
the big eastern cities who have
been lured away from the "legit-
innate" by the golden magnet of
tho movies.
1t didn't make much difference
to Tacoma who acted for the
movies, as long as we had good
pictures in our own celluloid
shows and kept up with the pro-
auctions Of the east.
But when the movies reached
out and seized Miss Valentine
Grant. popular and accomplished
coloratura soprano, from Ia
coma's musical world, all Tacoma
sat up and took notice.
1t was an affront for which
the movie men will be held ac-
countable by music lovers of Ia
coma for many a day. Because
Miss Grant is forever and forever
in love with the silent picture
world, and she has already gain
ed such flicker fame that it. Is
doubtful she will ever give her
voice to the public again.
Miss Grant is getting there"
We class her among the Ia
comans who are getting there be-
cause, although she has recently
hied herself permanently away
to the movie marts of the east,
her home and her heart are In
Tacoma, and all her friends live
here.
This young artists career has
been metooric and colorful.
Born in Indiana of musical par
ents, she was sent to Chicago as
a young girl and studied voice
under Nine. Zimmerman. at that
time rated as the best vocal teach
err in the middle west.
At the age of 20 she became
leading woman in comic opera
company that her uncle, Elmer
Lassinden, was managing. Las
sinden was comedian and lead
ing man, also. For two years
Miss Grant appeared as star In
comic opera, but she cut short
her stage career when critics fin
ally convinced her that SIZE had
too fine voice to waste on pat
rons Of light opera.
Her father had died in the
meantime, and she moved to Ia
coma with her mother. She
opened studio in the Temple OF
Music, and almost Immediately

Eleven thousand dropped their

III the old-time warfare between

Fem, notorious gunman, will be
to blame, say labor representa-
tives, who charge he is an en-
ployers' spy.
Arrested last fall, this gangster
began to peach at once. As a

in a week or two. it is expected
that not only will the revelations
be sensational, but the touchy in
dustrial situation may blow up.
The famous protocol was
supposedly a perpetual treaty of
peace, signed by the employers
and workers in the New York
garment trades as settlement of
the bitter strike of 1910.
1t provided that all disputes
should be settled by mutual
board of grievances, or, that fail
ing, by a board of arbitration OF
which Louis d. Brandeis is chair
man.
The protocol was hailed as a
magma charta for the working
man. Even the New York manu-
facturers, in the Cloak and Suit
Review" said in September,
1911, ANY one who in any capac-
ity is working for the permanency
OF the protocol is serving his
country"
Then why did the manufacture
ers abrogate the protocol?
Miss Gertrude Barnum. who
has just come to take charge of
the employees case here after a
year of work with the Industrial
relations commission, answers:
The threat of the garment
workers is that unless their
union officers now charged with
murder are given q fair trial,
