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. Mulsifed 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 wa
ter and rub it 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, dandruf and
excessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright. fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get Mulsified eocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store 1t is
very cheap. and few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the fam
lily for months.

Motor Vehicle Bill
Through the House

The Dithrich motor vehicle code,
the subject of many hearings and
numerous amendments, was passed
finally in the House at the night
session and goes to the Senate. The
vote was 1872 to 4.
In discussing the bill, Mr. Dithrich
said: 'Mr. Speaker, the bill now
under consideration is a motor We
hicle law, which l introduced at the
beginning of the session at the re-
quest of the Pennsylvania Motor
Federation. The amendments offered
tonight on this bill are not material,
changing the registration fee on cars
other than commercial vehicle cars
from forty-fve cents to forty cents.
The bill originally represented a
registration fee of forty cents, but
certain members interested in this
legislation requested a fifty cent fee.
AS a compromise, 1t was agreed to
make it forty-five cents. but the
automobile clubs throughout the
State protested so much against that
figure that we went back to the orig
inal bill as originally drawn, provid-
ing for a registration fee of forty
cents. 1 would like to say further,
that this bill represents the best
thought on the subject; however,
the sponsor has had very little to
do with that, but the Highway De-
partment and the Governor of this
Commonwealth, with whom we have
had conferences and members who
were interested, and manufacturers,
and users of automobiles through
out the State gave their thought to
this bill. 1t repeals the act of 1913
and provides general law upon
the subject. Practically every ques-
ton pertaining to the use of auto
mobiles, both for pleasure cars or
commercial vehicles, have been TAX
en- up and inserted in this bill. SO

"Replying to your communication
