the delightful contrslto voice OF Miss

Because she invested in Liberty
bonds the hundreds OF dollars that
formerly went for gowns, Miss Bayes

she has a repertoire OF new numbers,
the most delightful OF which Is George

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 shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
Is very harmful. Just plain mulsifed
cocoanut oil (which IL pure and en-
tirely 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
water and rub It in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance OF
rich, creamy lather. and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The Iather
rinses out easily, and removes every
particle OF dust, dirt, dandruff and
excessive OIL. The hair dries quick
" and evenly, and II leaves II fine
and silky. bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsined cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap. and a few ounces Is enough to
last everyone in the family for
months.-Advt.

Capitol Heights Congregation
Adopts FOrceful Resolution.

Overtime work by employees Of the
Bureau Of Engraving and Printing
many Of whom recently have been
working Sundays as well as week
days, has been unequivocally con.
demned in a resolution adopted by the
congregation OF the Capitol Heights
Congregational Church.
Inc representative of the Fifth
Maryland Congressional District, In
which Capitol Heights 10 situated, and
the two Maryland Senators are asked
In the resolution to take measures TO
compel the director OF the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing to reduce the
working hours OF the employees of
that bureau to q reasonable length
and to omit Sunday work altogether,
or to have him removed"
Long Hours Denounced.
The resolution 10 signed by the Rev.
q. Albert Cook, acting pastor Of
the Capitol Heights Congregational
Church. and Z. H. Hamilton, clerk. 1t
follows:
Whereas Il Is credItably reported
that men and women in the United
States Bureau of Engraving and
Printing are and have for months
been compelled to work twelve or
more hours per day during the week
and frequently on Sundays also. under
penalty OF suspension or discharge.
and,
Whereas # has been found every
where II has been tried, and especially
in the warning countries, since this
war begun. that, although the reQuir-
ing OF such long hours OF labor gave
some temporary gain OF production
for Q time. but soon injured the health
of the workers SO that there was more
loss than gain in the long run, and
whereas the alleged consent OF 90
per cent OF the workers to work for
the longer period and increased wages
and thus make It easier to compel the
remaining 10 per cent to work thus
also. Is no excuse for such overwork-
Ing either Of themselves or of those
who are unwilling to work such long
hours. since Il Is everywhere found to
be the condition, whenever people
have q chance to make q little extra
money, they are willing to cheat even
their own children out OF the school
time, play time, and health, as well as
sacrifce their own health for the sake
Of temporary gain, and

BE II resolved, That the congfega-
tion OF the Capitol Heights ConEre-
gational Church urge the representa-
tive Of the Fifth Congressional dis
trict and the Senators OF the State OF
to take measures to compel
the director OF the Bureau OF Engrav-
Ing and Printing to reduce the work
