RI0TING IN LAWRENCE
During Night of Terror Raiding Parties Assault Houses of the Mill Operatives Who Remain at Work.

Lawrence, Mass, March 2V.-The textile mills were opened today under orderly conditions after a night of terror in some of the mill workers tenement districts. Raiding parties of men and women went from house to house stoning windows, tearing down blinds and rapping at doors with clubs. They were not apprehended.
 All of the houses were those of mill operatives who have continued at work. None of the occupants was in iured, but women and children were frightened and spent the night sleep lessly. dreading return of the ma raiders.

 Iron
The Iron Age says:

v from the meeting now on at Wash-' ington (Wednesday,) the weeks mar ket, scant as business has been, has further emphasized the downward tendency. Reports have been wide spread of sales of basic iron at s25 at furnace. representing reduction of S5 a ton. One of these, assigned to the Chicago district has been de- nied by the reputed sellers The amount involved was 1000 tons An Ohio sale of ,000 tons seems better established, and one in the East. also at s25
 Representing 8 similar decline in semi finished steel is Q sale of slabs to an eastern mill at $40, while in heavy sheets there have been con- sessions of $6 ton from the prices prevailing early in the year. Ferro- manganese, spiegeleisen and fer rosilicon have all yielded, the first two being still conspicuously over produced.
 The weeks delay has added to the problems of the steel manufacturers committee. Merchant pig iron mak- CTS, at their separate meeting last week, formally declared against re- ducing their prices unless the way could be opened by reductions in raw material and labor costs. The class 3 steel works-those which must buy pig iron at the market price--strong- 1y protested that reductions in their products, without a cut in pig. iron, would close down their plants
 Among leading producers of steel there has been no change in the feel ing that price reductions at this time will not produce the desired revival in buying. Reductions in copper, more drastic than have been proposed in steel, have not stimulated demand, it is argued; and the spelter market with the price below the cost Of weil- equipped producers has no serlblance Of life.
 Meanwhile the Department of La bor at Washington has reinforced the position of the chief obiectors to re- auctions in steel by widespread pro- paganda urging that high level prices are no temporary thing, but perma- nent Buyers are told that in the absence of special reasons for de- clines in the case of particular pro- ducts Tit is safe to assume that prices are not going to drop"
 Another Washington development is the statement from the industrial board that a general expectation of radical cuts in prices can thwart the whole stabilizing proeram; that the main thing is not so much the extent of the reduction as convincing the public that the new basis will be stable.
 It must be said that the week has not clarified the situation but rather added to it's confusion. The fact that the government has no buying program and thus cannot give practi- cal sanction to steel prices that may be fixed is a serious drawback
 Mill operations have fallen off this week but it Is still true that the Steel Corpora tion's output is relatively larger than that of the independent companies, due to the carrying over of considerable tonnages that were put on the books in 1917. The blow

 His friends frankly admit the IIli5a
 governor is an actual candidate,
 his candidacy is being given publiE4 by friends wherever they can secn7 publication of an interview. ssssa9 ssa
 In Washington it is learned up8 excellent authority that Governu1 Iowdens candidacy has more thaa local backing, John w. Weeks, A4 Massachusetts, himself a candidak for the presidency until defeated foH reelection to the senate, is back ao4 Governor LoWden's candidacy, and, fx he will not actually manage it, WILL give his support. ito it. This is aas4 sumed to mean the existence of a Weil-formed movement in New Eng land to support MT. Lowden. Itsalso gives the candidacy of Governor Low- den an added impetus, since among the favorite sons he is the only one who, hallng from the West has an organized m ovem ent in his support in the East
 The projection of the Lowden can didacy has resulted in a more care ful canvass by republicans of their possibilities. Tn spite of efforts that have been made to head off a general "favorite son movement. such a movement is on and will go clear through to the convention
 Among the senatorial possibilities. Warren c. Harding of Ohio, con t1nues to hold the limelight as the most likely candidate. but movements already are on foot for other senate Among these are Watson, of Indiana Johnson, of California;; Kellogg, of | Minnesota, and Capper, of Kansas The recent, speech by General Leonard Wood is generally regarded an intimation that General Wood would not be averse to a consdera- tion of his name, and those who are examining the situation say that stranger things than the nomination of General Wood could happen. The movement for William Howard Taft appears to have run into 8 hoar frost, but this is the natural result of uncertainty as to the disposition of the League of Nations. Should the l League of Nations treaty be ratified, the movement for MT. Taft is likely to gather impetus.

Cocosnut 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 alkal. This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle. and
is very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better
than anything else you can use for
shampooing, as this can't possibly in
jure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub 1t in. One or two tea =
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich. creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. 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
shampoo at most any drug store. 1t
is very cheap, and few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the family
for months.-ALv ..
