GREETERS GATHER AT
THE COLONIAL HOTEL

Members of the Tri-City Greeters'
association were guests last evening
of the Colonial hotel management in
Rock Island and in view of the fact
that the attendance was not as large
as it should have been, one of the
faithful few moved that each member
who neglects to attend meetings here
after be fined 80 cents for each Of
tense. The motion was adopted and a
rule to this effect was incorporated in
the bylaws. 1t will be determined
what members are not on duty on
meeting nights and if they are not
present at the sessions the fines will
be assessed against them.

When your child is grown, the condi

hair will depend largely upon the way
it is cared for now.
The human hair is composed of about
$4,000 delicate oil plants.
Ordinary soaps and shampoos will
soon destroy the natural oil and the
fatty roots of these plants making the
hair dry and brittle or destroying it en-
tirely. EVERY WEEK SHAMPOO is
an Anti-septic Oil Shampoo that
cleanses and purifes the scalp thor

intended, soft, fluffy. silky, and the

FRESHIE CLASS HAS
WASHINGTON PARTY

A genuinely appropriate and patri-
otto party was held by the freshman
class of Rock Island high school yes
terday evening at I;30 in the form of
d Martha Washington party, held on
the third floor of the Manual Arts
building. The affair. which is the first
social function Of the class of 10, was
one of the most successful freshmen
gatherings ever held, and was attend
ed by 100 freshmen alone, exclusive
of faculty members present.
The decorations were carried out in
the national colors in a very attrac-
tive manner. Around the room all
sort of costumes could be OBJ
served from elderly hospitable ma
irons to fierce, savage Indians.
Some of the games, however, were
modern in their tendencies, the first
one to be played being the guessing of
untitled advertisements pinned on the
backs of all in attendance Then fol-
lowed Catching the cane" and others.
Matching cards for partners and the
Virginia reel came next and finally the
refreshments
A great deal of the credit for the
success Of the party must be given
to Miss Alice Rush, who takes charge
of all freshmen functions. and to Miss
Beryl Titterington, Miss Grady and R.
c. Ferguson, sponsors for the class.
The freshmen also have been working
hard for the success of the affair and
were greatly gratifed by the reward of
their efforts.

relative to the importance of the i'm
movement of water fronts and found
everywhere a cordial interest in the
matter.
Interest is Shown.
In some of the cities public meet
ings had already been held to discuss
the subject. AS representatives of the
steamboat lines, we explained our de-
sire to cooperate in any movement
looking to the improvement of ship
ping conditions on the Mississippi.
There did not seem to be any feel
ing among the people we talked to,
that there was to be expected any
sudden or exceptional increase in wa
ter transportation this year, but a
firm conviction that gradually the
Father of Waters would come back
to its own.
Through our conferences we tried
to impress upon the business men we
met the imperative need of improving
wharves and levees, for present needs
as well as for the future. The condi-
! tons of today must be met and in or
der to do this facilities must be made
modern.

IF mea would use EVERY WEEK
ANTI-SEPTIC OIL SHAMPOO instead
of the strong alkaI shampoos which
are so commonly used, they would pre-
serve their hair rather than invite bald
ness. EVERY WEEK SHAMPOO dis
solves and removes the dandruff (dry
or oily, opens the hair cells, feeds and
strengthens the famished roots and
leaves the hair clean, soft, fluffy silky

cation for men and children and every
other week for women keeps the scalp
clean, healthy and the hair in excellent
condition.
EVERY WEEK ANTISEPTIC OIL
SHAMPOO contains both mineral and
cocoanut oils which cleanse the scalp
and hair thoroughly, open the hair cells
and give the hair plant the oil which

any surplus oil, but does not remove the
natural oil which healthy hair requires.
