WHY SOCIETY WOMEN WASH
THEIR OWN HAIR

They do, not because it is a fad,
but because they wish to obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and be
sure they are not using anything
harmful. They have found that in
washing the hair it is never wise to
use a makeshift, but it is laways adj
visable to use u preparation made
for shampooing only. Many of our
friends say they get the best re-
suits from u simple homemade cam
throx mixture. You can use this at
a cost of about cents a shampoo
by getting some canthrox from your
druggist and dissolving a teaspoon
full in a cup of hot water. This
makes enough shampoo liquid to
apply to all the hair instead of just
the top of the head, as with most
preparations. Dandruff, excess oil
and dirt are dissolved and entirely
disappear in the rinsing water.
Your hair will be so fluffy that it
will look much heavier than it is.
It's luster and softness will also de-
light you.

JUDGES HEAR
ARGUMENTS ON
WIRE RATE CASE
Will Make Decision Later in
Controversy in This
State

Pittsburgh, Pa, April 22.-Argu-
ment on the United States govern
ments application for an injunction
to restrain the Public Service Com
mission of Pennsylvania from set
ting aside the new wire rates recent
ly ordered by Postmaster General
Burleson, was heard by three Fed
eral judges here yesterday. Follow
ing the presentation of argument by
counsel for the government and
State, the court said that a decision
would be announced later.
The arguments yesterday centered
about State police powers" it being
contended on one side that the Post
master General had no right to in
crease rates without submitting the
question to the Public Service Com
mission, while, on the other hand, 1t
was said that if police powers" eX-
clude rate making, then Mr.. Burleson
acted within his powers.

TWOLOAN HONOR
FLAGS UNFURLED
Quota of Cumberland County
Subscribed Two Days Be
fore Campaign Opens

Carlisle, Pa, April 22.- Opening
of the Liberty Loan Campaign in
Cumberland county was marked by
the unfuriing of two flags marking
the county's service in the various
Liberty Loans. The one was the
the honor flag for the county. Cum
berland county subscribed her quota
to the Victory Loan two days before
the opening of the campaign, and
the flag was placed on the Court
House yesterday.
Raising about s10.000,000 for war
purposes the county got another hon
or in the special emblem awarded by
the Treasury Department to the dis
tricts which have been 100 per cent.
in the five loans. Cumberland county
exceeded the quota in every loan and
the new flag, somewhat similar to the
honor emblem for the Fourth loan,
but with five white stars, was also
unfurled.
Owing to the unique action of the
banking institutions in putting the
county over ten days before the terms
of the loan announced by guaran-
teeing the quotas. there will be no
canvass in the county, the bonds to
be sold through the banks. to whom

SUPERIOR COURT
ORDERS RETRIAL
Presiding Justice Says Jurors
Must Have Been Partial
or Prejudiced

New Bloomfield, Pa, April 22.-
Considerable interest has been ere
ated in Perry county in the i'm
pending retrial of the suit of Mr..
and Mrs. Albert J. Hammaker. of
Watts township, against the town
ship for damages for the death of
their two daughters, which occurred
when an oil wagon slid over a steep
bank in Watts township.
In the recent trial of the suit, a
Perry county court brought in ver-
Dict of S110 for the two deaths and
then a week later brought in YER
dict of more than $2,10O in a suit
Tor damages for a broken leg,
brought against oliver township.
Branding as "unconscionable" the
verdict of the Perry county jury, the
opinion handed down in Superior
Court at Pittsburgh held that the
award was inadequate and ordered
a new trial. Perry county judges
had refused the application for a
new trial requested by the parents.
In his opinion, the Superior Court
judge felt that the damages were
so unreasonable and disproportion-
ate to human life that we are con-
vinced the jurors must have been
influenced by partiality or prejudice,
or by some misconception of the
evidence. 1t is not necessary to hold
that there must be substantial dam
ages allowed for the negligent
death of child in every case. There
may possibly be exceptional cir
cumstances which may justify Il jury
in awarding nominal damages. but
those circumstances do not exist in
this case,
1t was the opinion of the Court
that the lower court erred in the
exercise of his judicial discretion in
refusing a new trial.
In the original case. negligence
on the part of the Watts township
supervisors was alleged. 1t was held
that the guard rail was not of the
strength that it should have been.
When the oil wagon started to slide
on the slippery hill in the township,
it crashed through the guard rail
and went down over the step bank.
The two Hammaker children, who
were riding with the driver, were in
stantly killed, but the driver suffer-
