Use Cocoanut Oil
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 alleali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. Just plain nlulsifed cocoanut
oil (Which is pure and entirely grease
1ess), is much better than the most ex-
pensive soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't pos
sibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub It in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly The latfer 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 nluisifed cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. It is very cheap,
and few ounces is enough to last
everyone in the family for months.

TOP.R.T T.CARMEN
c o m p ny Voluntarily
Raises Wage Rate to 48 :
! Cents Hourly
DOUBLES PAY SINCE 1911
Action Follows Agreement
Between Officials of Corpora.
ton and Employees

On the eve of an expected decision of
the war labor board, headed by former
President Taft and Frank P. Walsh,
covering wage increases and recognition
demands of trolleymen associated with
the so-called Pratt Union" the COM
pany has announced its fifth voluntary
wage increase this year-a jump of
from five to nine cents an hour.
Under the latest agreement the min
umum wage for surface line motormen
and conductors is forty-three cents an
hour. the maximum forty-eight cents
The same scale applies to subway con-
ductors. Subway motormen will now re-
ceive maximum of fifty-one cents and
q minimum of forty-six cents.
In 1871 the maximum wage for both
motormen and conductors was twenty
three cents an hour. Only last April
1t was thirty-eight cents an hour.
How the new expenditures, which,,
with the other increases granted this
year aggregate $4,0O0,000. will be made
up is has not yet been decided by the
company. On one point all the officials
are clear-fares must be increased, they
contend.
Approval of the transit lease by the
Public Service Commission is expected
to clarity matters. If that approval Is
not forthcoming. the company says 1t
will appeal to Washington. there to say,
I'VE have done our duty by the nation,
we hope the nation will do its duty by
u.s."
The increase followed an agreement
between the employees cooperative COM
mittee and officials of the company. Ac-
cording to a statement issued by the
company. 1t was made to save the war
labor board the anxiety" of passing
on the carmen's wage question in this
4 city and to give incentive to the men
to further facilitate the transportation
of war workers. -
The minimum wage applies to men in
the company's employ only three
months. After that period of service
they are advanced three cents an hour
until the ninth month, when they re-
ceive an additional increase of two
cents, reaching the maximum.
AS heretofore the maximum wage
was paid only to employees who had
served five years, many men will i'm.
mediately jump from the existing wage
to the maximum. No employe will re-
ceive an increase Of less than five cents
an hour, as the present maximum rate
is forty-three cents and the minimum
thirty-eight cents.

Extension of l8 to rs
Would Call l,75O,OOO
in State
CITY'S S H ARE $4,000
Murdock Figures Additional
Men Would Outnumber
Present Selectives
Ten to One

: Approximately 1,750.000 elgibles will
be added to the Pennsylvania quota II
the draft age Is increased from eighteen
to forty-five years.
This estimate was made this after
noon by Major w G.. Murdoch, head of
the selective service system In the State.
The new men would outnumber the
present draft men ten to one, according
to the figures at the State headquarters
in Harrisburg.
The first draft. including men from
twenty-one to thrty-one years. totaled
175,000 registrants. OF that number
Philadelphia furnished $4,000.
Philadelphia's quota, IL the age limit
Is extended, will be $4,000.
To carry on the work of registering
and handling such huge quota, Major
Murdoch believes, the efficiency of many
Of the local and district boards will have
to be materially increased. In addition.
the new draft will necessitate the hire
of thousands of additional clerks.
Major Murdoch said 1t would not be
necessary to increase the number of
boards in this city, but that additional
members might be needed in some cases
to handle the tidal wave of work.
II such an extension of age is approx.
ed by Congress, 1t is Major Murdock's
belief, a ruling will be sent out to In
corporate the new registrants in the
work-or-f1ght order which went into ef.
feet on July 1.
The wide scope of the new draft, he
said, might seriously affect industrial
conditions in many lines of business
particularly among the nonessential In
dustries.
TT can be readily understood that
the work fight order would be made
applicable to the new registrants as q
matter of fairness to the other eligi'
bles," remarked Major Murdock
Naturally. as all the men between
the ages Of eighteen and forty-fivt
would affected. I think that industria
conditions would be shaken up con
siderably.'
The new plan would virtually pu,
nine-tenths of the country under mill
tary supervision and would give tn,
Government tight reinhold on the in
dustrial workers of this country, is tn,
opinion of Major Murdoch and Other
draft officials.
Such a move would coordinate thu
efforts of the men in line and those
back of the fighting line, thus attaining
the highest percentage of efficiency II
achieving the war aims Of the country.
Hundreds of thousands of men in tn,
State would be found fit only for lin
tied service, and probably pressed int
the noncombatant forces, the hom,
forces, the munition, shi ipyard and con
| struction plants.
