EXPECT PRICE DROP
. TO BOOM BUILDING

Prices on more basic commodities
are scheduled to hit the tOboggan
Shis week.
Continuing fits conferences with
leading industries, the Government
Industrial Board, within the next few
days, hopes to reduce the cost to con-
-sumers OF coal, coke, lumber, glass,
Gement, building hardware and brick.
With assurance that the prices es-
Sablished will stand throughout the
year, an unprecedented building boom
IS expected. The boards first efforts
are concerned with building materials
IN the hope Of affOrding labor to
thousands OF unemployed in the
country.
Agreement on lower cement prices
vas practically reached by the board
and the cement men late last night,
and it is expected that the new price
schedules for this product will be
announced today.
Interest Centers on Coal.
Interest today, however. centers on
the efforts to agree on prices for next
winters coal with the National Coal
association, which represents nearly
tall OF the mining industry. Coal pro-
iduction is now nearly 100000 tons
a month behind the war time prOduc-
ton OF last year, according to Fuel
Administrator Garield's figures.
Unless this production is stimu-
lated by a demand for coal, there is
bound to be a shortage when the
demands are heavy next winter, Of
ficials believe. In addition, many
miners now are idle.
The prevailing high prices of coal,
at is agreed, have caused the situa-
tion- Though labor, whose wages
cannot be reduced now, is one of the
chief mining costs, members of the
board believe that, with a greatly
increased production, coal bills can
'be reduced substantially.
Final coal prices probably viii
not be determined today, as the

Building Hardware Next.
Building hardware prices will be
taken up after the coal hearing.
Representatives of the industry
have assured the board they favor a
leubstantial price reduction.
Glass prices will be considered to-
morrow morning. With the de-
lTnand for some kinds Of glassware
l]ikely to be greatly reduced after
July I, representatives of the in

hions can be made.
A committee Of lumbermen IS pre-

reduction on the various grades of

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie, and is very harmful. just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil (which is
pure and entirely greaseless), is
much better than the most expensive
soap or anything else you can use
for shampooing, as this can't pos
sibly injufe 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, 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 at most any drug store. II is
very cheap, and a few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the fam
lily for months.-Adv.

Insurance Rates on
Low-Prced Autos Go
Higher Next Month

The rate of insurance against
theft of low-priced automobiles is
to be more than doubled by March
/. according to Joseph Barker. The
insurance rate\on the highest priced
cars will be somewhat lower. The
higher priced cars have been com
parativeIy immune from the activi-
ties of the car thieves and~the rate
of insurance on these cars therefore
shows a decline, stated Mr., Barker.
As the cars grow older the insui~
ance rates against theft decrease,
while FIRE insurance rates increase.
Mr.. Barker explains this by saying
that as cars grow older they are
more apt to be destroyed by fire,
but their value in the meantime is
decreasing and therefore the insur-
ance rate against theft also de-
creases.
