COcoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

II you want to keep your hair
in good condition. be careful
what you wash 1t with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali.
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
the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use for sham
pooling, as this can't possibly in
jure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub 1t in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses oct
easily and removes every particle
OF dust, dirt, dandruff and exces-
Isive 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. II
is very cheap, and . few ounces
is enough to last everyone In the

ing distillate as substitute
for gasoline to combat the high
price of gasoline.
Officers of the Standard Oil
Co. here today said that they
expected to see distillate come
into use more each day now. A
mixture of distillate and gaso-
line makes a good fuel, it is
said, but the accompanying
odor is unpleasant.
Gasoline is quoted at 1911
cents today as compared to 10
cents for distillate.
1t is not advisable to use dis
tillate for fuel unless the
driver has a special cleaning
apparatus, as it causes consid-
cradle carbon to gather on the
plugs.
Several jitney drivers are
using it for fuel and they claim
that they got more milegas out
OF it than they did out of gaso-
line.

Make Wall st. Pale

To spend $4,000 to find
OFT whether your car can COM
pete in the indianapolis race is
some extravagant sport. Yet
this is what one New York
sportsman did two years ago.
He sat for six boiling hot hours
on an empty oil can and saw
his car dash home a winner.
Drivers of these cars make
the Wall street gamblers pale
in comparison. For instance,
take one Dario Resta, who came
to America last year from Eu-
rope. His earnings in four
months totaled $4,000. To
annex this much of perfectly
good made-in-U. S. A. money,
ID. Resta, travelled LOO miles.
Figuring Resta drove at the
rate of 80 to 100 miles an
hour, every mile that he trav-
eled was worth $22.94 to him.
He has received $1,746 an
hour, or about $29.10 a min
ute.
An effort will he made to
bring Resta to Tacoma this
year.

Care for Spare Tires

Did you ever stop to wonder
why a spare tire that has been
carried for a considerable time
fails to give the mileage you
expect when you finally place
1t on the rim?
If you have experienced
short service from a spare, you
will probably be able to trace
it directly to the lack of the
care you give your spare tires
at least, this is the state
ment made by a local tire sales
branch.
There are two things that
would save lot of tire ex-
pense for motorists. These
are a proper rack and a proper
covering for spare tires.
When a tire is carried on
the running board, unprotect-
ed, 1t soon dries out and be-
comes covered with surface
cracks.

Dear Miss Grey: | would
like to correct a slight error
which appeared in your col
umns a short time ago, in
regard to the grape fruit,
sometimes called Pomelo and
Shaddock. This delight
some fruit grows singly and
also in clusters of from
three to six like grapes, as
the name would imply. 1t is
a native of southeast Asia,
but is extensively grown in
Florida, along with other
citrus and semi-trOpical
fruits. 1t is not an uncom-
mon sight to see a small
tree of but 2 " or 8 inches in
diameter at the base and
but six or seven feet high,
producing a dozen or more
large fruits averaging from
one to two points apiece) in
clusters of from three to five
each, hence the most COM
mon name-grape fruit. Re-
spectfully,
