Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want 70 keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash 1t
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali This dries the
scAlp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. Just plain mulsihed eocosnut
oil (which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than the most ex-
pensivs soap or anything else you can
use for shampooning, as this can't pos
sibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub il in. Ono OF two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out cas-
ily and removes every particle Of dust,
dirt, dandruh and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and it
leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and
easy TO manage.
You can get mulsiied cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. It is very cheap
ard a few ounces is enough 20 last

THUS Sir Hiram Maxim was driven
out OF this country, as was Lewis OF

other American modern inventors OF

of American inventors to let war ma
chinery alone.
"The Navy Department, however, has
been far more progressive than any
other department. and within the last
10 years has shown commendable en-
terprise In adoption of new ideas. This
has been due to the far-sightedness of
men like Admiral Taylor, Admiral
tiske and others.
"Thus, with the help OF the Navy De-
partment Elmer A. Sperry has been
enabled to develop his marvellous
gyroscopic compass and that remark
able series of nautical inventions that
makes him the Edison Of the Seas
"Sperry has done more for naviga-

is now applying his genius to solving
the most difficult Of the remaining
problems Of aerial navigation.
"Sperry IS so modest few know OF

PASSES MEASURE OVER Veto

IMMIGRATION BILL.
Advocates Certain of Success in Senate
Had Been Vetoed On Account
of Literary Test.

Washington, Feb. 3.-President Will
sons veto of the immigration bill
because of it's literacy test feature
has been overridden in the House by
vote of 2S6 to 106. Party lines
were ignored in the fight, Democrats
and Republicans being almost equally
devided on either side.
An effort to override the veto viii
be made in the Senate. Advocates
of the measure say it is certain of
success.
For 20 years there has been a fight
to establish a literacy test as a re-
striction upon immigration. Four
times such a provision has run the
gauntlet of Congress and been vetoed
at the White House.
Three Previous Vetoes.
President Cleveland first disapprov-
ed bill on this ground and Congress
sustained his action. President Taft
was the next to reject it. On that &C.
casion the Senate voted to override
the veto, but the House failed to give
the necessary two-thirds majority by
nine votes. In 1915 President Wilson
refused his signature. The House lack
ed only four votes to override his
action then The Senate did not con-
slider the veto message.
This time the House had 25 votes
more than the necessary two-thirds
Republican leader Mann and
Democratic Leader Kitchin voted to-
gether against the President.
