USE COCOANUT OIL
FOR WASHING HAIR

II You want to keep your hair
In good condition, be careful
what you wash it 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
lure 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 out
easily, and removes every parti-
Gle OF dust, dirt. dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and 1t leaves 1t fine
and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mplsified cocoanut
oil At most any drug store. II Is
very cheap, and . few ounces IL
enough to last everyone IN the
family for months. adv.

ADMITS
BILL IS
ILLEGAL

Admitting that his proposed IL
brary bill probably is unconstitu-
tlonal in its present form, but in
sisting that its principle is the
only permanent solution of the To-
cal library problem, and is in
Keeping with existing legislation
in this and other states, Libra
rian John B. Kaiser explained
the measure to the civic depart
ment of the Womans club Thurs
day afternoon.
IF this bill is unconstitu-
tional,' he said, existing legis-
lation in three other states is
unconstitutional.
THE statement has been made
that the proposed bill is a slap at
home rule. If it is, so is the law
for compulsory education, and
legislation concerning park
boards. the debt limit for cities,
and much other state legislation.
And to what extent does the
present library situation repre-
sent home rule? Is it what the
city of Tacoma wants?
THE principle is already in eff
feet in library legislation in many
states. We are simply trying to
apply it in Washington. Oregon
has provision which would be
useful here, which is that the
library tax might be levied in ad-
dition to the maximum for all
purposes. Then there would be
no fight on the library tax be-
cause 1t would not be taken out
of what other departments would
otherwise get.
THE proposed minimum would
give us actually less than we
were asking for; but the princi-
pie would put the library on a
stable basis. AS it is now, the
school board and the park board
have something to say about the
amount which is needed for their
support, but the library board has
nothing to say. The library is a
part of the educational system
and the United States eonstitu-
ton makes education a state
function, Therefore library legis-
lation is also properly state
function
