Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If 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 mulsified cocoanut
oil (Which is pure and entirely grease
lessl, is much better than the most ex-
pensivc soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't pos
sibly injure the hair.
Simply nioistcn your hair with water
and rub it in One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, and cieanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The latter rinses out easily,
and removes every particle of dust, dirt,
dzndruf 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 nu1sified cocoanut oil a.
most any drug store. 1t is very cheap,
and a few ounces is enough to last
everyone in the family for months.

COAL SHORTAGE
is PREDICTED
Fuel for Railroads Must Have Right

to Suffer Next
Winter

UNITED Press Leased Wire Servlce]
WASHINGTON, April 17.-Contro.
versy between Fuel Administrators
Garfield and officials OF the railroad
administration over the supply OF
railroad coal. threatens serious coal
shortage next winter
| Failure TO supply coal cars at the
mines is causing fifty per cent under
production in some fields, fl is
charged. Hundreds OF consumers,
aroused by the early buying campaign
are unable to obtain coal and accord
ing to the fuel administration, an ex
odus of miners is on from fields where
mines are able to operate only two to
three days week.
John Shelton Williams, purchasing
agents for the railroad administration.
is alleged to be seeking low priced
contracts with individual mines
which would slice s4O,000.oo0 from
McAdoo's coal bill. This carries an
inducement of 100 per cent supply
of cars for mines agreeing to low
prices. Supplying all car demands of
such mines interferes with production
by throwing miners idle and creating
labor unrest, it is charged.
Garfield wants to pro-rate the avail

cient cars to go around

to and conferees representing the

mfnistration and the war industries

War industries are seriously threat
ened by reduced output which for the
week ending April 6. fell fourteen Der

nation last January, may have to be
resorted to again next winter, Off
Gals warn, unless an agreement "a

Garfield openly admits that rail-
road demands for coal must be given
right of way. 1t is indicated, but he
objects to having the scheme of coal

action between individual mines and
the railroads. II is held labor would

T. r., Back From Capital,
Satisfied With Efforts
To Speed Up the War

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt arrived
in New York from Washington yester-
day and, after a brief visit to "The
metropolitan Magazine" Offices, went
to his Oyster Bay home. To the re-
porters who awaited his arrival he had
nothing to say on his experiences at
the capital or the prospects of speed
ing up the war.
Friends who saw him at "The Metro
politan Magazine" office said that he
was thoroughly satisfied with the re-
suits of his visit and that the effect Of
Senator Chamberlain's address in an
swer to the Presidents statement
would tend to wake up the country to
the imperative necessity of more eff
clent work on the part Of the War De-
partment.
1t was announced yesterday that
Colonel Roosevelt will be one Of the
speakers at the dinner of the Vigi-
lantes at the Harvard Club, when Fuel
Director Harry A. Garfield, Augustus
Thomas and Julian Street will also
speak. On February % he will be a
guest of the Lieutenants' Benevolent
Association, of which Richard Enright.

head. This is the first time in wears
that the Colonel has appeared at anv

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.--Statc au-

War Department that grave interfer-
cnce with vital war preparations is re-
sulting from insistent demands for mil
itary protection for public and private
utilities. In a ma ajority of cases, in
vestigation has shown, the situation did
not call for uniformed troops.
When requests for soldiers as armed
guards for waterworks, piers, shipyards
and other establishments are made di-
rectly to the commanding officer near
est q supposedly threatened point, it is
generally incumbent upon the officer to
furnish the men. The result has been
that training programmes and organi-
zation schedules have been seriously
