surances that every legitimate assist
ance in profiting by war experience
would be afforded was given the dele
gates by John Cutter. chief of the
Industrial ce-eperatien~service of the
Department of Commerce.
1t was suggest ed that the restriction
of paper shades to forty colors, In
use during the war, instead Of re-
turning to the old. system OF having
several hundred colors be kept In
force. The delegates said that the
lesser number of shades made Tor
economy in both manufacture ana
distribution and does not cause n
convenience to consumers. 1t was also
proposed to standardize- we lights. sizes
and trade customs, including various
charges. ;.
The government representatives de-
clined to undertake to deal with any
questions of price. believing they
should be settled on the basis OF pro-
duction costs. A report on the meet
ing will be made to the two assoc1a-
tions, which are expected TO adopt
MANY of the recommendations.

D. c. CALLED IDEAL
EXPOSITION SITE
Writer Fav0rs Great Area of
Land for Exhibits by Ma
tons and States.
ASKS BIG MEMS SUPPORT

To the Editor of The Star.
The virtue and value of a movement
are often measured by the personality
of those behind 1T. From the first the
plan of establishing a permanent inter
national exposition at Washington at
tracted the attention of leading men all
over the United States; governors. bank
ers, manufacturers, boards of trade and
chambers of commerce from Trenton to
Seattle hailed it with satisfaction and
approval. and the vision of it's unbound
ed possibilities was clear TO most people
-outside of Washington itself.
In the city which is to be it's only logi-
cal site the proposed exposition was
regarded as IL sort of chimera by some.
as an exposition scherre by many. and
as means of-personHl tTof1t by Stlil
others, with whom the movement could
we'll dispense, while a few believed in Its
final success.
The writer, in the fall of 1905. while
going the rounds of The diplomatic corps
with the idea, was met with the ques-
ton: :aiS MIR. Roosevelt cthen Presidenp
behind :his PLAN? Others desired TO
know what Congress would do. Still
other (rotably the German and Russianl
diplomats aud some of the South Ameri-
cans declared that New York city was
the site for such an exposition, as it
seemed to them of prime Importance TO
get as close as possible to great multi
tudeS of people.
Six years later. when formal cam
paign was opened by a self-constitutet'
committee to push the scheme, several
members of the diplomatic corps gave
written Endorsements of the general
purpose and promised aid; President
Taft did the same. If the campaign
then failed because some of the promo
tiers were more interested in their own
personal advantage than in the devel-
opment of the idea for the public good
it was no indictment of the merits of
the plan.

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 alkai. This drie;

is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless). is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. noe or two tea :
spoonfuls will make an abundance Of
rich, creamy lather, and cleapses TIE
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily. and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and e&-
cessive 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
at most any drug store. 1t is very
