WANT CARS TO RESUME
STAGGERED-HOUR PLAN
Clerks of Department of Agricul.
ture Believe System Will I'm
prove Service.

Opinion among the clerks of the
Department of Agriculture that re-
turn to the staggered hours for be-
ginning work would bring about gen.
eral improvement of car service and
would also help the clerks was 1ndi-
Gated today by an official of the de-
partment. This man said that, con-
trary to general opinion. employees of
the Department of Agriculture voted
overwhelmingly few weeks ago
against a return to the old 9 o'clock
hour for reporting.
Carried by Big Majority.
The vote IN favor of retention of the
$50 hour is said to have been more
than $500 as against less than 500
who voted for a return to the old
opening hour. Employees of the
Treasury Department and the Post
Office Department also are said to be
in favor of a return to the staggered
hour system.
Charts showing relative congestion
on street cars during rush hours have
showed a steady tendency toward a
peak about the hour of S:45 am. since
the 9 o'clock opening hour went into
effect a short time ago, as against
the gentle curve showing relative
congestion, while the hour
order was in effect.
Alleges Erroneous Opinion.
The disposition appears to prevail
in many quarters, it was stated by an
employe of the Agricultural depart
ment today, that the discontinuance
of staggered hours was made on peti.
tion of the clerks themselves. This is
not so, according to the employe, al
least as regards the Agriculture, Treas.
ury and Post Office departments, and
this impression should be corrected.

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 sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie, and is very harmful. Mulsificd
cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure
and entirely greaseless), is much
better than 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. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund
ance of rich, creamy lather,' and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. 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 shampoo at most any drug store.
1t is very cheap, and a few ounces
is enough to last everyone in the
family for months.-Adv.

EASY TO DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Try this! Brush Sage Tea and Sulphur
Compound through your hair, TAX
ing one strand at 2 time.

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it's done SO naturally,
so evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home i mussy and trou-
blesome. At little cost you can buy
at any drug store the ready-to-use
preparation, improved by the addi-
ton of other ingredients called
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. By morning all
gray hair disappears, and, after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy
and luxuriant.
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is sign of old age, and as
we all desire a youthful and attrac-
tive appearance, get busy at once
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound and look years younger.

everything to make 1t as easy for
her as possible, but 1t seems of no

try and hold myself in hand and

I suspect that your wife Is not al

and it quite frequently happens that
mothers Of young children are
melancholy. This is not perma-
nent affliction and will probably dis
appear as she grows stronger. How
ever, I can only advise that you
talk calmly with your wife and ex-
plain that you love her and the
children; that you have no idea of
doing anything wrong, but that you
like diversion. Show her the folly
Of keeping quarrel going in the
home and how wrong it is to the
children to bring them up in such
an atmosphere. Your wife should
do her part toward making happy
home. When she tells you to "beat
1t" she does not mean word she is
saying. She may be little petulant
and say foolish things just as you
door, as you admit you do. Don't
forget to say nice things to her
after you have explained that life
would be impossible unless your
differences are Strengthened.

little Of my grief.
I am % years old and live in a
little town. / kept company with
a young man from another town for
four months, then we became en-
gagged; he was so good to me. At
he was called to service for Uncle
Sam I began to realize, he was so
much to me. He got furloughs at
different times to visit me. After
one of his visits in our, town he
went back to camp, and his letters
were farther apart. At last he told
me I didn't care for him, so we
broke our engagement. He told me
to keep the ring and pictures and all
other gifts. did, because they
meant a great deal to me.
He wrote to me all the time; sent
me pictures and little gifts, telling
me he cared more for me than any
one, but we could be no more than
friends. So friends we were. Just
recently I found out he was mar
ried, has been ever since we broke
our engagement.
What hurts me so Is to think
wrote to him after he was married,
but just friendly letters He never
told me he was married. Didn't he
show more disrespect to his wife
than to me?
Should I ignore him when I see
him, or should I speak? / hope to
seen an answer in your column soon.
Thank you. BROWN EYES.
Your soldier friend has acted in
a thoroughly dishonorable manner
Instead of being disappointed, I
should think you would be thankful
that you were not caught in the ugly
net. You are the lucky girl and she
is the victim. He has not shown half
the cowardice toward you that he
has toward his wife.
