 PANAMA, Jan. 30.-The board ap- pointed by Acting Governor Harding to consider revision of wages and conditions of employment of alien canal laborers, mostly negroes, has granted an increase of about 20 per cent in pay to the lowest paid la borers. making the minimum wage 12 instead of 10 cents an hour. Minor increases are given for the more skilled labor, and those on hazardous jobs. The new wage scale went into effect January 1. The beard went on record as recognizing the obligation of the government to pay it's men a wage sufficient to main tain them in reasonable comfort and decency, and stated that the higher standard to which the West Indians had become accustomed was a req son for maintaining improved con ditions.
 The desirability of housing the employees on the Canal Zone were stated, and Acting Governor Harding has recommended an additional ap- propriation to take care of this. This feature has military aspects, as dur ing the recent strike 1t was brought out that inimical interests operating in Panama might prevent any of the laborers from going from their hous- es to work and thus cripple the ope- ration of the canal

These pieces should be cleansed by wash ing in hot water, and when there are enough they should be thrown into q saucepan with a little warm water and about a teaspoOnful of boraX to quart of melted soap. When it is well melted and mixed it should be poured off into old jelly or jam glasses and kept on hand Tor shampOos.
 A few tablespoonfuls of this paste poured into glass and diluted and mixed with very hot water is just what you want for shampoos. First, the hair should be completely moist yued in warm water and then lit tie of this liquid soap should be added. It should be worked into a good luther, with the constant addi- ton of more water After the hair and scalp are thoroughly CleanSed care should be taken to rinse the head thoroughly After you feel sure that every bit of soap has been rins- ed out continue rinsing conscien- uou5ly for four or five minutes.

 The woman whose 0rk is in the home has an advantage over the girl who works in store, office or school when it comes to the question of shampoos. For tie girl away from home must wait till a holiday or a Saturday afternoon for her shampoo, or else go to the hair shop for it, while the housewife can be sure of finding time for it almost any day. There are dozen differ ent tasks about the house that can be attended to while the hair is drying, and so the shampoo takes only the actual time of washing the hair for the woman in the home
 Some women imagine that if they do not expose their hair to the dust and dirt of the streets they need not have a shampoo very often, but as a matter of fact the housewile's hair needs just as much attention as any one else's, for it is constantly eX- posed to dust in sweeping and dust ing and to fumes and yapors from cooking. For the sake of cleanliness three weeks, or, at the most, four, is the right interval for the shampoo and carefully dried this is none too often for the health of the hair.
