TO PROTECT JITNEYS
Another Ordinance Has Been Drawn
by the City Attorney.

Topeka's proposed jitney ordinance
is to be revived. At d meeting of the
city commission today, such an ordi-
nance was introduced by title and will
be up for consideration Monday.
Several months ago a jitney ordi-
nance was drafted by George p. hay
den. city attorney, which was never
enacted on account of objections to a
provision requiring q bond from the
jitney operators. The new ordinance
eliminates the bond.
The primary object of the ordi
nance is to protect those who are en-
gaging in the jitney business eXclus
ivelY' said the city attorney. 1T will
eliminate the mushroom operator
and the outsider who engages in the
business only on special occasions.
Circus day jitneys from other cities
were here doing business without any
license of any kind, and competing
with local operators who pay the city
for the privilege.
The license probably will be $25
for five passenger cars. $35 for seven
passenger machines, and $50 for the
big BUSES. special jitney license
tag must be displayed and the rates
for service must be painted on the
wind-shields of the cars so that pas
sengers cannot be overcharged. Lii
censeS will be issued only to expert
enced operators over 8 years of age"

CHANGE is COMING
Roy Crawford Sees New Policy for
Combination Theaters.

Roy Crawford, general manager of
the Crawford theaters in Topeka, who
returned today from st. Louis, sees
change coming in the policy of the
com binatiOn theaterS over the country.
On account of the scarcity of attrac-
lions, the Olympic theater in st. Louis
which has played Klaw & Erlanger
attractions in the past will show the
Birth of a Nation, motion picture,
at 81 top prices. The picture will
open Sunday for five weeks engage
ment. This is unprecedented for
theater such the Olympic.
THE combination business over the
country is up in the air. said Man
ager Crawford this morning, 'and it
will be some time before the theaters
will know just what to expect for this
fall. The Birth of a Nation has been
making a great showing in the east
and on the coast. 1t is the newest
plan in motion pictures
While in ST. Louis Manager Craw-
ford attended the opening of the Gay
ETY. theater with burlesque. He says
that the show was the best burlesque
performance ne has even seen and
that the house was packed.
1.-The burlesque business opened
fine" said Crawford, and if it is any
indication as to the general theatrical
business this year should be a good
one. This is a little early to forecast
a general condition, however

TODAY'S BEAUTY AIDS

To clear up and whiten the skin
and secure that charm of pink and
white youthful freshness so much de-
sired by all women you will find it
far safer to rely upon a good face To-
ton rather than powder. To get rid
of that shiny and muddy appearance
in your complexion, dissolve four
ounces of spurmax in one-half pint
hot water, and add two teaspoonfuls
of glycerine. Apply this to your face,
neck and arms, rubbing gently until
dry. This lotion does not show or
rub off like powder and is much bet
ter. 1t is splendid for removing tan,
frec1les, pimples and sallowness.
You can make a delightful shampoo
for very trifling cost if you get from
your druggist a package of canthrox
and dissolve a teaspoonful in a cup of
hot water. Pour a little at time on
the scalp and rub briskly. This ere
ates an abundance of thick, white
lather that thoroughly dissolves and
removes all dandruff, excess oil and
dirt After rinsing. the hair dries
quickly, with fluffiness that makes
il seem heavier than it is, and takes
on a rich luster and a sOftness that
makes arranging it a pleasure.-Ad-

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 alkai. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
soap or anything else you can use for
shampooing. as this can't possibly in
lure the hair
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub ii 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 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 manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap. and few ounces is enough
to last everyone in the family for
months.-Adv-

Mrs. Chichester gazed at Peg and

Peg looked at Mrs. Chichester and at
the significant action. There was ND

She turned to Aaric and found him re
