Alkali In Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
Il you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkaii.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greascless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoOnfuls viii cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub
it in. It makes an abundance of ricH,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
! dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
khe scalp soft and the hair fine and
4llly, bright, lustrOus, fluffy and easy

a few ounces will supply every mem

HIGH COMPLIMENT TO
CITYS FIRE FIGHTERS

Joseph W. Lcverton pays tribute
to the city's fire department in a let
ter written after he had personally
observed the answering of three
alarm call at No. "a engine house. He
writes to The Times as follows:
Editor The Washington Times:
Dear Sir: Commenting upon or
fire department, permit me, as an
individual, to congratulate the Dis
trict Of Columbia fire department
through your most valuable columns.
I happened to be in No. - engine
house last evening when the great
fire at lexington was started. 1le
box came in over the tape. and The
men were on their feet and about
their work in less time than is re-
quired to tell the story. Knowing
the fire was out OF their district, the
horses were returned to stalls. etc
In "A few minutes a second alprm
was sounded, and the same attention
given TO the preparation of gOir-.
Lieutenant Leaman, being in charge
OF the house. paid particular atten-
ton to his men acting i'm such a cool,
manly manner and without even tie
least bit Of excitement, as is usually
the case in large fires. when the men
arc sometimes over anxious to begin
action And in commenting upon
this point said that in his seventeen
years Of fire service nc had never
seen such "A wonderful set Of IRE
fighters under one roof
Captain HaiSht. Of No. /, Engine
and Engineer Minnick. or No. -,
thought they vcrc off duty until the
saw the light they came in the engine
house ready for action.
At this time tho third alarm vas
sounded That meant action for the
pride OF PetwOrth. and in few sec
onds they were of and on their way
10 do their bit.
Private HenniG was driving the
wagon. with Lieutenant I.Raman at
his side and from the way they left
tho cnginr-hOUso. ! know absolutely
the run only consumed few min
Uics. Sergeant Swan and Bob Nc
AuIifTe were on the horse drawn en-
gine. and when they started down
Sherman avenue the people in the
neighborhOOd thought it was the
homestretch of the great Kentucky
Derby.
On arriving at the FIRE everything
vas prepared by the wagon men for
the Cnine crew when they pulled up
at the plug at Fourth and r. Swan
and McAulifre had shot q stream of
water on tho fire in less than one
minute.
Altogether it vas wonderful feat
performed. and / again say ! con-
CratuIate the Fire Department in

! ]. II. Stephens, superintendent of
! service, said it is not possible for
officials to compute the loss, until an
/ examination is made of the burned
cars. He said it is probable that

as other parts not badly burned.
II is known, however, that the loss
will exceed S1O0.OOO
Mr.. Stephens said there would be
/ impairment on some of the lines to-
day and probably tomorrow, but that
a sufficient number of cars. now held

the loss of the thirty-One cars last
night.

Fire" telephoned to the Fire De-
partment.
FLAMES Spread Rapidly.
With such rapidity did the flames
spread through the rear end of the
shed, OF frame and corrugated iron
construction, that when Fire Chief
Wagner arrived on the scene he
ordered, in quick succession, second
and third alarms.
Employees of the railway company
were able to save only a few cars.
Those that were burned were mostly
OF the mandrake type. The most
serious feature OF the fire is this loss
of cars so badly needed in the Dis
trict.
Service on the North Capitol. Brook
land, and other northeast lines was
crippled by the blaze. The throngs OF
residents of the vicinity were in
creased by several thousand other per
sons who fiocked to the scene.
Traffic Tied Up Three Hours.
Traffic was tied up for about three
current from the lexington sub
power station, which IS adjacent 10
the sheds. This compelled hundreds
of persons to. walk to their homes.
After two hours the blaze was got
ten under control. Current cables
were readjustcd. and this enabled the
renewal Of service.
The heat from the blaze broke win
dows OF nearby houses, and the flames
ignited roofs and sheds.
81 70 nriynn from their
beds were those of G.. T. Warren,
Benjamin W. Debois, William Boycc,
