Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care
ful what you use. 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
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap and beats the most ex-
pensiVe soaps or anything else all
to pieces. You can get this at any
drug store, and few ounces viii
last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about a tea
spoonful is all that is required. 1T
makes an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, cleanses thoroughly, and
rinses out easily. The hair dries
quickly and evenly. and is soft, fresh
looking, bright, fluffy. wavy and
easy to handle. Besides, it loosens
and takes out every particle of dust.
dirt and dandruff.

State "War Board" Will

Governor Historian

The State War Board" will not
meet until after Inauguration, it was
said on Capitol Hill to-day, and when
it does its previous action eIecting
Governor Brumbaugh to the position
of state historian for the war will be
revoked. The membership of the
board will change next Tuesday by
the substitution of Governor-elect
Sproul and Lieutenant Governor elect
Beidleman for Governor BrumbauEh
and Lieutenant Governor MoClain.
state Treasurer Kephart is authority
FOR the statement that the Governor
has no Chance of retaining the office
of historian.
The Governor would not comment
to-day upon the story from Philadel-
phia that he has been rendered a
position with the federal government
in somewhat the same capacity as he
served when he reorganized the
schools of Porto Rico after the Span
War. 1t was said, how
ever, that the Governor would not be
averse to such a position. if it We're
forthcomingg, but that il is doubtful

parable to your work. Consequently
1t Is absolutely necessary that our wo-
men enjoy the benefit of social work
such as yours. All those who have
seen your Foyers think as I do and
very much hope that the Y. w. G. A.
will leave some of its members here,
now that war is over, so that their ex-
ample may be followed in France"
Such tributes are. typical and ex-.
plain why four departments of the
French vernment-Finance, Com
merce, War and Labor-requested the
I. w. @. A. to do social and recreation
al work for the girls and women en-
ployed by them and why they assisted
the women at Y. w. G. A. headquarters
in Paris in getting buildings for Foyers
and parks, such as the island in the
Loire at Tours, for recreation centers
last summer.
The needs of the reconstruction pc
riod-while these French women are
readjusting their lives to a new order
of things-are greater even than dur
ing war. While they are learning to
begin a lifelong work in factory or Of
flee such as was unknown to women
in France five years ago, it is more
necessary that American women stand
by them and help them than 1t has
been during these eighteen months
past, says Miss Henrietta Roelofs. d.
rector of Y. w. G. A. in France. 1t is
because of this that Miss Dingman is
returning to France at once to develop
the work which she began and to tell
these women that the women of Amer
lea are stretching forth their hands in
sympathy and encouragement to the
women of France.

so the Foyer des Alliees, which means
in English Hearthstone of the Allies,
became known as "the house with
the light" for inside it was cheerful
and 1t was bringing happiness back
into the grief-crazed eyes of these un-
fortunate victims of the war.
Inside the Foyer during the two hour
luncheon period there is always an en-
tertainment by the girls themselves or
by professionals. There is always mu-
sic and always Blue Triangle letter

France and begin Industrial work.
Large Foyers des Alliees were es-

showed to Miss Dingman, the pioneer
of the work, that what the women
needed was a place for recreation.
Moral conditions were serious be-

women-many of them refugees, 9TH

male labor employed, Chinese, Cihga-

5 MEN UNHURT
AS AUTO GOES
THROUGHFENCE
Driver Steers Car Off Road
to Avoid Head-on
Crash

Five men from the ordnance de-
pot at Marsh Run, escaped serious
injury at o'clock this morning.
when their automobile plunged
through the fence and over the en-
bankment of the Market street roa d
on Island Park, and stood straight
up on end.
Private A. f. KuIl, of the ordnance
motor transport department, driver
of the automobile, turned off the
road and through the fence to avoid
collision with an oil truck, which he
declared was coming directly toward
him
The other men in the automobile
were IL. e. Seitz, electrical superin
tendent at the depot, and Electri-
clans Scott, Lucas and Maurquitz.
All five men braced themselves in tn
car when it went over the bank
and the top kept them from being
thrown out.
Seitz declared that as they got
across the Market street bridge go
ing toward the West Shore, they saw
another machine, owned by Samuel
Miller, East Main street, MELVILLE.
standing in the stretch of road con-
Meeting the two sections of Market
street bridge. AS they approached
the stranded automobile, the oil
company truck, coming toward Har
risburg, is said to have turned to the
left of the road, to pass 1t. To avoid
a head-on collision, Private Kull
steered into the fence at the side of
the road and crashed over the en-
bankment.
The Miller automobile had skidded
last evening on the road and receiv-
ed a. smashed mudguard and damag-
ed front wheels. The ordnance de
partment automobile was badly
damaged and it was necessary to
prop 1T on truck and convey it to
the camp at Marsh Run.

had proper recreation. Andre Citreon,
the big French munitions manufactur-
er, was soon convinced of the prac-
ticability of the work and built or
turned over a part of some building in
each of his factories for Foyer des
Alliees, equipping each completely
with anything which Miss Dingman
felt was necessary. He has commend
ed the work highly and advised that 1t
be continued.
Recently M. Loucher, the French
minister of arms and munitions manu-
facture, wrote Miss Dingman as fol-
lows:
II must express to you the very
great satisfaction and most sincere
gratitude of the French government
for the service rendered to the women
working In government factories
through the establishment of Y. w. G.

ness by two men who left him,
bleeding and unconscious, in the
snow. Patrolman Nalen, of the po-
lice force, discovered him and sent
him TO the hospital in the police
patrol. He was unconscious for
hours.
He had a hole in the back of his
