Hair Often Ruined
 By Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully if you want to keep your hair looking it's best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkaH This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
 The best thing for steady use is just ordinary nulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless). and is better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use.
 One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Sim ply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy father. which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leayesAthe scalp soft. and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can get mu1sifled cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and few ounces will supply every mem Der of the family for months.

STCECkEL ON AUTO LAWS. Commissioner to Visit Nearby States in
 Interest of Cooperation.

Robbins B. Stoeckel, state automobile commissioner. started Tuesday on a seven or eight days trip during which he will visit the state automobile off, cials of Massa chusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont in an effort to brin g a bout closer cooperation between the automobile departments of these states and that of Connecticut. Mir. Stoeckel said that he hoped to be able to ar range a conference of all the New Eng land auto commissioners to be held agreements and programs of co-opera- tive action could be formally consid- cred.
 The commissioner said that al though the conferences he will hold on his trip will be informal in cha acter he expects to discuss the possibility of framing identical legislation in the three states concerned which would enable the commonwealths to CO., operate on a reciprocity basis in mat ters affecting interstate automobile traffic The laws of the various states are conflicting at present and auto drivers find it difficult to comply with a new set of laws every time they cross a state boundary.
 The need for reciprocity is especial cases of jitneys which travel regular from one state to another as in the case of lines between Hartford and Springfield At present jitney owners who do an interstate business have to take out license in two states or run the danger of violating the law. The commissioner proposes the passage of a special law requiring one specific in- terstate license for such a business.

MILK QUESTION IS
 CREATING APPREHENSION
Cost of Feeding Cattle Shows Big In
 crease Over Last Year.

Studies from the survey on the cost of market milk production made under the auspices of StorrS college show that the cost of milk production, due to the abnormal increase in prices for feed, labor and other items, is creating great interest and apprehension. To secure facts regarding the cost Of pro- ducing milk under present conditions, a survey was made, covering 193 rep resentative dairy farms.
 The interest shown and the CO., operation given by the dairymen who were visited shows the stern necessity of having at present figures which will ena ble localities to approximate as close al possible a fair price for milk.
 It is important, too. at this time, that a figure be used as a basis for price
 making that represents every iterA of cost.
 It is true that in business activity there are times when production costs are greater than the sale price, but in the majority of cases this condition is only temporary and the loss entailed is a minor item at the close of the year. In studying cost figures on milk production it is evident that the mar gin for profit in the past has been too small to represent a thrifty business condition. Even with the increased prices paid recently, indications are that in general this increase has not taken care of the increased cost.
 It is not directly vital from the v ton be increased or decreased, for at present it appears that the more cows he keeps the greater is his loss. It is not inferred that the dairymen are be- yond criticism from an efficiency stand point, but in many cases the most off, cient have not been remunerated in proportion to their efforts and invest ments.
 In making the survey, the total num- Der of COWS reported as having died was 50, which Is approximately Is per cent. of the total number.
 The number of milking machines in use on 179 farms was s22.
 With the quality of silage fed last year Silo owners produced milk at onH' tenth of a cent per quart cheaper than those without.
 The average cost of keeping a sire for the ear was $51.49 when credited with manure and outside service While in some instances the cost Of keep was the majority did not permit their sire to be used for other cows.
 The cost of labor at PAS cents per hour represents something near the actual cost to the farmers In many instances. where the operator did the work himself. this was put in at 30 cents per hour It is necessary to pay considerably more at the present time and this condition will likely continue for some time to come. to meet com petition. If the time had been calcu- cost would be s4S90 instead of s3964 per COW per year.
 At present grain averages about S51.25 per ton. Upon this basis. the cost would be s53S1 for feed per year instead of s42.25.
