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 shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tlrely 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 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 thoroly The lather
rinses out easily and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and t leaves 1t fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man.

These include paper flowers, candle

The electric vehicle, whether truck
or pleasure, is of necessity city ma
chine. The periodic recharging of the
storage batteries makes it impossible
for the car to travel very great dis
tances from It's base Of supply, for the
charging stations In outlying districts
are few and far between.
The construction of a battery is COM
paratively simple. 1t consists of a
positive plate (of a reddish brown
rolor) and a negative plate (of gray
ish COLOR, separated by ribbed wood
or hard rubber separator. The frame
work of a plate, which, In battery
technique, is called a grid, consists Of
lead, and into this the active material
is pressed. The active material is
made up of red lead mixed with proper
chemicals for the positive plate, and

to give the desired amperage, are con-

Decorating the Table

To make the chidrens party at
Christmas time brilliant success is
not at all difficult. All they need is
room to play in, games and pastimes
planned ahead to fill up the time, some
one to supervise them and Christmas
goodies to eat. This last item iE the
program of the Christmas party means
great deal to them, but they are cas-
lily pleased.
The old fashioned games, "blind
mans buff" drop the handkerchief"
hide and seek" have unfailing charms
for the youngsters, but they will not
play at one game long. A fishing
pond" pleases them and is easy to
manage. A lot of toys and trinkets
are wrapped in paper and tied up,
sufficient number to provide some
thing for every child. Before the par
ty these are piled up in some conven-
tent corner and a curtain of some kind
hung across the corner to hide them.

The Storage Battery Is Supposedly
Complicated Continuance, but It's
Very Simple to Understand.

This causes evaporation, and the cleo
trolyte must be replenished with dis
titled water to its accustomed level.
All wiring on the car should be
periodically inspected for damaged in
sulation, especially If acid has been
spilled upon 1t by any mishap, for the
acid eats through the wire insulation
In very short time. Bear in mind
that the electrical power in battery
is limited, and everything done to con-
serve 1t will mean a saving of expense
and labor. All movable contacts
should be cleaned frequently, for dirt,
grease, and foreign substances prevent
the controller working properly and
prevent good contact being made,
which wastes current. The gearing
and wheels should be looked over and
creased about once a year.
Causes of Trouble.
Dragging brakes, poor contact, I'M
der-inflated tires, also cause surpris-
ing amount of trouble.
Be sure to keep the battery solution
above the plates. Do not let the tenn
perature exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit
when charging. Do not let the battery
stand idle when discharged. Keep the
battery and all its connections clean.
Follow the manufacturers instructions
when charging.
Use the hydrometer to ascertain the
density of the solution.
Avoid excessive use Of current.-H.

GAMES FOR CHILDREN
AT CHRISTMAS TIME.

1t may be for Christmas party, or
for the family gathering, that you will
need ideas; for either, the following
games will furnish fun for young and
old alike.
The Game Of Tip.
This old English game requires the
use of enough assorted Christmas can
dies, nuts, raisins, and other dainties,
to make a small pile upon table;
also pair of sugar tongs. One of the
party Is chosen, who must retire to an
other room while the remaining play
ers decide upon one of the dainties
in the pile to be known as Zip" The
chosen person is then recalled, and
with the tongs removes pieces from
the pile, trying to avoid the piece
named Tip, OF which, however, he does
not know the location. All pieces
removed belong to him, unless he re-
moves Tip, when all must be returned
to the pile, and the turn passes TO the
next player, who retires to the other
room while another Tip is named. A
player may pass his turn when, after
drawing several pieces, he wants to
