State Engineer Lewis Says
State ShouldNot Pay Royalties

laturc should not hesitate giving off
cials the necessary weapons to head off
some OF the tremendous pressure which
is welded by special interest having
proprietary or other materials to sell
to the public.

frauds where patent owners prefer To
mix their own materials and sell it to
contractors TO lay on the road. II will
head Off the pernicious practice Of in-
tlating the price and giving secret re-
bates to favored contractors.
''The Warren Brothers company fill
ed an agreement with the city Of Port

to furnish a licensed mixture to all cor

As soon as the present promotion game

The Barrett bill Is. 3, 81, does not
accomplish what the author INTENDED

the paving interests is sufficient ground
to warrant such action by the legisla-
J ture.

BE CAREFUL IN USING
SOAP ON YOUR HAIR

X x x 4; x x X X X X x x X x x
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for it is pure
and entirely greaseless. 1t S very cheap,
and beats most expensive soaps or any
thing else all TO pieces You can get
this at any drug store, and few ounc-
es will last the whole family for months
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy
and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens
and takes out every particle of dust,
dirt and dandruff.

ANXIOUS FOR TILT
Ann Arbor Goes Wild ut Prospect 0i
Game and Chance at the Confer

Ann Arhor. Mich, Nov. with the
announcement that Michigan was like
ly to play post-season game with the
University OF Chicago eleven for the
benefit of war charities, and to help
clear the question Of gridiron suprem-
acy OF the conference and the west, a
furore was created in athletic circles.
That the game seems not only possible
hut probable has caused interest in the
Wolverine eleven 10 rise fully 100 per
cent. and speculation as TO the out
come is rife.
Coach Bartelme, director or outdoor
athletics, said today that the Michigan
board in control of athletics had not
given its official sanction to the coh-
test, as a special meeting had yet to be
called, but that with other conference
elevens willing, the game was a sure
so.
Bartelme also stated last evening
that the game with Chicago would
certainly prove the undisputed western
title, and that both he and the board
we're willing and anxious to see it
staged.
When asked concerning the returns
from gate receipts, Bartelme stated
that they would go to some worthy
cause in connection with the American
soldiers or men in the service. Gate re-
ceipts, he also said, would more than
double those OF the games played on
the ordinary schedule and that from
both the point of view of the charity
worker. the fan, and the conference
the game would be a distinct feature
When the announcement of the plan
for the big game reached the campus
last night it was met with the widest
enthusiasm. Michigan student fans 10

in its chances for the title.
