After Some Very Exciting Heats at
Charter Oak Park.

Hartford, Conn, Sept s.-Two world S
records were set here yesterday after
noon when st. Frisco won the classic
Charter Oak stake for 2:0s trotters after
six of the most exciting heats of light

by the judges a dead heat, the time,
in 1904 on the Brighton beach track,
New York, when Sweet Marie and Arsto
raced dead heat in 2;os14. The other
worlds record established was the fast
est six heat race, the average time for
the six heats being 2;07A, against 2:07
1924, set at Lexington, Ky, in 1910 in
a race won by Spanish Queen.

ignorance OF the facts, asserted that
while il had been said in its favor that
society favored the eight hour day, so.
ciety had nothing to do with the meas
ure, and declared emphatieally that that
kind of virus in our life" would bring the
nation 10 disaster in the end.
Mr.. Hughes first appearance in New
England was marked by cheering crowds,
packed houses from which many were
turned away, street demonstrations and,
here in Portland last night. by an old
fashioned torchlight parade. Much OF
the day was spent in motor cars and the
nominee reached this city, travel-stained
and weary, TO face an audience in the
city hall auditorium.
Arriving at the auditorium, Mr..
Hughes spoke from the platform where
Raymond Robins, chairman of the Pro.
yressive national convention at Chicago,
lad just told the audience why he was
no longer Democrat or a Progressive
md why he supported the Republican
ticket. Previously, the nominee had spok
m at Beverly. Mass, Hampton Beach

because Of their attractive locks.
Inquiry among them discloses the
fact that they bring out all the nat

makeshift, but with a simple mix

DANISH ISLAND SALE
NEAR C0NSUMMATI0N
Formidable Barriers to Agreement
with L. =. Reported To Have
Been Removed.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Negoti-
atoms between the United States and
Denmark for the purchase of the
Danish West Indies are understood
TO have reached a definite stage
where some important development
may come soon While the purchase
has not been concluded, there were
indications Monday night that some
of the more formidable barriers to
an agreement had been removed
giving the negotiations promise of a
succ essful outcome.
The negotiations, a continuation
of conversations carried on unsuc-
cessfully in 1901 and again in 1910,
were resumed several months ago. 1t
is understood that Denmark, feel
ing the pinch of war, desired TO rid
herself of the islands not only as a
financial proposition but 70 eliminate
one troublesome element in main
tanning her neutrality. Lying near
Porto Rico. the islands are said by
naval officials to possess excellent
advantages as a naval base and coal
ing station.
It was understood that American
Minister Egan at Copenhagen, had
been entrusted with considerable
latitude i'm the preliminary stages of
the negotiations. 1t was pointed out
however. that no actual purchase
could be effected until the senate as
we'll as the Danish parliament had
ratified the action.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
for Washing Hair

If you want TO keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash IL with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
pOOs contain too much alkah. This
dries the scalp. makes the hair brit
tie and is very harmful. Just plain
mulsified coCOanut oil (Which is pure
and entirely greaseless). is much
better than the most expensive soap
or anything else YOU can use for
shampooing. as this can't possibly
injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with wa
ter and rub il in. one or two tea
spOonfuls will make an abundance
OF rich. creamy lather and cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily. and il leaves
10 fine and silky. bright. fluffy and
easy TO manage.
You can get mUlsified cocoanut oil
ct most any drug store. II is very
cheap. and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for
mOnths.-AdVt
