Where There Are 1000 Cars,

Washington, Jan. 4.--Serious con
gestion on certain railroads while
others adjoining or connecting are

rector General McAdoo by Interstate
Commerce Commissioner McChord in
charge of the commissions inspec-
tors.
THE worst conditions reported so
far said the report, "are on the
New Haven, Pennsylvania lines west
of Pittsburgh, on the Connellsville
and Cumberland divisions of the Bal
timore and Ohio and on the Western
Maryland and the Cumberland Val
ley railroads. On the New Haven
the principal difficulty appears to be
the shortage of both men and mater
ial to make repairs,
1.-THE congestion at Conway yard at
Pittsburgh is due to shortage of pow
er and inefficient help. The conges-
ton on the Western Maryland and
Cumberland Valley and in a measure
on the Connellsville and Cumberland
divisions of the Baltimore and Ohio
is due to embargoes."
The Baltimore and Ohio at one
point was reported to have 1000 cars
of coal, although 1000 is normal
number.
These reports were forwarded i'm
mediately to A. S. Smith assistant di-
rector general at New York, with in
structions to reroute traffic from the
heavily burdened roads to those OPP
Grating normally.

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

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 null
sihed cocoanut oil, for this is pure and
entirely greaseless. Its very cheap, and
beats the most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store. and a few ounces
will last the whole family for months.
