BUREAU OF EMPLOYMENT"
Is Recommended BY Sec. Wilson of De-
partment of Labor.

Washington, d. G., Dec. 9.--Expansion
of the governments public employment
service by creation of separate bureau
of employment within the department
of labor is the chief recommendation OF
Secretary Wilson's annual report made
public to-day. The work, it is declared,
has outgrown the facilities OF the bu-
reau of immigration, from where it has
been directed. Beginning in small way
in 1907 1t now covers the country through
the postofiice and other departments.
The assistance of the postoffice depart
ment, Secretary Wilson says has been
particularly helpful. Some sixty thous-
and postofices are distributing blanks
which the seeker of a job may fill out
and send through the mail free of post
age. When applications of employers
and employees in the same neighborhood
enter the same postoEce the postmaster
brings them together without forwarding
the application.
One feature of the employment work
emphasized in the report is the depart
ment of labor's cooperation with state
and city public employment work. The

WON'T ADMIT THE EVIDENCE.
Judge Morton Bars Out the Hampder
Railroad Claim.

Boston, Dec. 9.-Counsel for certain
stockholders of the Boston & Maine
railroad who are opposed to receivershlp
were not permitted to introduce evidence
bearing on the merits of the claim OF
$40 ,00O0 900 of the Hampton railroad in
the Federal court yesterday.
Judge Morton ruled that evidence in
support of the minority contention that
fraud and conspiracy entered into the
roads receivership would be limited to
the term of the present board OF di-
rectors, which began in October, 1914.
The Hampden road, a short connect
ing line in western Massachusetts,, was
built while Charles S. Mellen was pres
ident of the Boston & Maine.
Conrad W. Croker, counsel for one OF
the stockholders who seeks to have the
order for temporary receivcrshlp va
Gated. endeavored to introduce evidence
in line with the assertion tiint the pres
ent board of directors was informed OF
the situation affecting the Hampden rail
road.
He stated that the Public Service com
mission of Massachusetts had character
lied the claim of the Hampdcn against
the Boston & Maine as fraudulent. AIT
er being refused opportunity to develop
testimony on this point and on several
Others affecting the Mellen administra
ton, Attorney Croker made detailed

purpose of taking Hampden road in out

Keeping the Hair Properly.

Proper care of the hair means, first,
proper care of your health. This Is i'm
perative. There is no part of our bodies
that shows i'll or neglected health more
quickly than the hair. When the hair
starts to get thin and lifeless it Is far
wiser to consult doctor than hair
dresser.
In the care of the hair, cleanliness is
of vital Importance. This does not mean
that you should wash your hair too
often. for there are other ways of keep
ing the hair clean, and never should the
hair be washed oftener than once in three
weeks. This is best for both dry and oily
hair.
To wash the hair first comb it out
thoroughly, then rub the scalp with the
tins of the fingers until it is aglow and
the scalp loose II there is quantity

soap and water, the consistency of cream,
may be rubbed in with toothbrush.
Then wash the hair in warm water and
the soap solution. rubbing the scalp thor.
oughly until all the particles of dirt and
dandruf are removed.
The real secret. however, in washing
the hair well is in the rinsing. The trou-
BILE usually is that the soap is not thor
oughly removed and nothing is more in
furious than to leave any soap in the
hair. 1t makes the hair sticky and grad
ually rots and breaks it. To rinse the
hair start first with warm water and
keep changing until cold water is used
A bath spray is excellent to get out all
the soap. Do not wiring and twist the
hair-this breaks it; and do not mop 1t
ND and down so that it will be hopelessly
snarled. Squeeze the ends in towel,
then start and work the scalp with the
finger tips, lift strands of hair and shak-

departments aim, it is declared, is to

Garner needing employment or wanting
better employment"
! The department of labor should not
make itself medium for conveying in
f, formation of demands for wage earners
where labor disputes are the cause of the
demand. That there is already a suffi-
cient supply of labor there is as true
| if it is unemployed on account of dis
pute over terms as if it were unemployed
from lack of employment opportunities
from other causes"
! Extension of the service is urged to
provide for the employment of the aged.
Modern industrialism, it is declared, con-
dennis to the scrap heap too many able
bodied and active brained men, whose
only defect is their having passed an
arbitrary age limit.
The report relates at length the de-
partment's mediation efforts during the
year and argues for collective bargain
ing in matters of employment.
Large employers are usually incor'
porated companies with many stockhold-
ers of diversified industrial connections
! and with boards of directors having in
Incorporate affiliations. An individual
wage worker is weak indeed as a bar
gamer against such employers. He must
take what they offer or go without en-
ployment; and going without employ
ment means to the wageworker what
bankruptcy means to the bushes man
except that it is UNNECESSARILY worse"
The department was created in the in
terest of the wage earner-both organ
lied and unorganized = and its great
guiding purpose, Secretary Wilson's de-
scription of its policy declares, is pro-
motion OF the welfare of the wage-earn'
ers of the United States.
I'm the execution of that purpose,
the report says. ''the element of fairness
to every interest is of equal Importance
