Among the most popular of the new
blouse materials is Arlette Krepe,
which is about the weight of a heavy
georgette crepe. but has a peculiar
twist in its construction which gives
it somewhat the appearance of ier-
sey cloth, without the undesira BILE
elasticity of this material. 1t is
likely to be popular for negiigees and
lingerie as it is soft and yet durable.
Pierrette crepe, a new crepe very
much on the order OF georgette, is
being used for many of the snsrtest
and loveliest blouses Of the present
season.

MICH. PRIMARY
AROUSES SENATE
Ford Quoted in Debate on
Suggestion For an
Inquiry

Washington.-Senato Pomerene,
Democrat, of Ohio, chairman of the
Privileges and Elections Committee.
ate when he introduced a resolution
for an investigation of campaign
expenditures of Senatorial candidates
in various states.
The recent primary in Michigan,
where Henry Ford, President Will
sons picked candidate, lost the Re-
publican nomination to Truman H.
Newberry, was specifically men,
toned in the resolutions, but it is
understood the Democrats want to
investigate also the expenditures of
Republican candidates in Illinois
and West Virginia. The Republic
ans. on their part, indicated that If
the Democratic Senators insist upon
an investigation in Michigan, Illi-
nois and West Virginia, the inquiry
will be extended to include the can
didates for the Democratic nomina-
tion in West Virginia and Georgia.
while the Senate was discussing
the resolution it became known that
the Department of Justice had be-
gun an investigation into Campaign
expenditures in New York, Illinois,
Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia and
other states. The progress of this
investigation or the time it was. be-
gun were not made known.
Resolution Raises Storm

created storm in the Senate.

inittee would have their hands full

senator Townsend, Republican. of

Pomerene's resolution as purely a
political move" The resolution was
referred to the Privileges and Elec-
tons Committee for examination
after an hours debate. The resolu-
ton says, in part:
whereas, A political committee
In the state of Michigan has report

Senator Pomerene explained he

that S17S,OO0 had been contributed
and $176,000 expended on Mr.. New

that this is purely political move"
said Senator Townsend. "A man

admitted he had contracts with the

there was no possible chance for the
contractors to lose. 1t was argued
in the primary that Mr.. Ford. the

of the profits of the concern would
be turned over to the government

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair In
good condition, be careful what you
wash 1t with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie, and is very harmful. Just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil (Which is pure
and entirely 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
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 particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff 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 mulsified 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.-Advertise
