Why Society Women Wash
Their Own Hair

They do, not because 1t is fad, but
because they wish to obtain the great
est possible hair beauty and be sure
they are not using anything harmful.
They have found that in washing the
hair 1t Is never wise to Use make
shift, but Is always advisable to use
preparation made for shampooing
only. Many of our friends say they
get the best results from a simple
homemade canthrox mixture You
can use this at a cost OF about 3 cents
a shampoo by getting some canthrox
from your druggist and dissolving a
teaspoonful In 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 disap-.
pear in the rinsing water. Your hair
will be 90 nuffy that 1t win look much
heavier than II II. Its luater and soft
ness will Also delight you.---Ads.

referred TO the people,
The assertion is made that the pro-
hibition in the state constitution Of
the levyiny of special asse ssm ents on
abn:ting property owners for the i'm =
provement of sire cts has had the eff
feet of retardirg the proper paving
OF roadways and of placing a burden
on the general revenues of Richmond
1t is declared that this provilege is en-
ioyed by most cities. 1t Is suggested,
as a remedy. that movement be
begun among the cities Of Virginia to
amend the state constitution SO as TO
permit the levying OF betterment as

About the city debt, the pamphlet
says:
There are only two OF the forty
five cities in our class with a greater
per capita gross debt than Richmond
These cities are Omaha and Hous-
ton. There are only three with a
greater per capita net debt than Rich

debt OF Richmond for public service
enterprises was 1906 as against 1899

PRESIDENT DECLARES
RATES NOT EXCESSIVE

Thomas S. Wheelwright, president
Of the Virginia Railway and Power
Company. yesterday took issue with
the citizens OF Chester and other
Chesterfield towns on the Richmond
Petersburg interurban line, when he
declared that the proposed increase in
rates is not excessive.
President Wheelwright stated that.
according 10 reports which a d
reached him, there evidently must be
some misunderstanding among the
people OF Chesterfield This. too. he
pointed out, despite the fact that the
proposed increases were, in great de-
tail. on file with the state corporation
commission.
He laid especial stress on the point
that, while the company had full
power and authority to do so. there
was no change proposed in regard to
school tickets, and that they would
remain as heretofore. approximately
haif-a-cent a mile; second, that while
there was an increase proposed in TO-
cal fares and through rates, the com
pany was not proposing to exceed the
rate fixed by contract with the county
of Chesterfield and the franchises I'M
der which operations were conducted
in Petersburg and in Rich m ond; third.
that communication tickets will be sold
as heretofore at an advance of only
10 per cent, although no Communication
tickets are required in the county
franchise.
The county franchise. according to
President Wheelwright, provides for
rate not exceeding . cents a mile,
with no requirement as TO school
tickets or any other reduced rates
The rates prevailing now. he said, are
substantially those which were orig
lnally in the contract with the super
visors of Chesterfield county twenty
wears ago, while steam railroad rates.
he said. have increased in the last
two years as much as so per cent

RISING PRICES AND
INCREASE OF MONEY

The L. s. Department OF Labor.
through the information and educa
ton service, is issuing the results of
a study of prices during the war and
readiusrment period made by the di-
vision of public works and construc-
ton development Discussing the
worldwide phenomenon Of rising
prices, accom- panied by an increase OF
money, the report says:
"A study OF the index figures OF
commodity prices in the United States
ana certain foreign countries shows
that while prices have risen very con-
siderahiy in this country through the
war period. the rise In other countries
has been greater.
According to the fgurea OF the
bureau of labor statistics, the whole
sale prices of all commodities in Sep
tember. 1918. were 10T per cent over
the average for the year 1913 This
was the highest figures reached In this
country. The price level in Canada.
according to the Canadian labor de-
partment, reached the high point in
November. the price level then being
lis per cent over the 1919 figure
According to the figures OF the
London Economist, the price level in
the United Kingdom was highest in
the month OF August. being at that
time 1913 per cent above the 1919
average. Figures on the increase of
prices in france are not available for
any time later than June, 1918; how
ever. the index figures as published by
the Statistiaue Generate for the month
of May showed an increase OF ass per
cent: over the 1918 price level.
Not only do the countries nearer
the scene OF actual warfare show
greater rises in the price level. but
it is also true that In these countries
the price began to rise at an earlier
date than they did in the United
States.
The general rise in commodity
prices was accompanied I'm all these
countries by a considerable increase
in the amount of money In circulation
and In The amount OF bank deposits.
In this country. the average amount
OF money In circulation per capita in
the year 1918 was ss4s5. This in
creased TO sss.23. the figure for De
cember I, 1918. an increase OF 81
per cent.
There has been a slight decrease
since that time. the figure for March
/ being ss3,7s, which is SIS per cent.
above the 1913 figure. During the
same time. bank deposits in the
United States have Increased almost
three-fold In European countries.
during the war period, bank deposits
more than doubled.
Professor Irving Fisher. Of Yale
University. published about a month
ago a monograph entitled The New
Price Revolution in which the facts
the increase OF the amount
of money and of credits were thought
out. and the statement was put for
~nrd that this increase was respon-
ihle for the general rise in the price
level.
but Professor FISHER also pointed
out that II is extremely unlikely that
there will be decrease OF money and
credits in either this country or
European countries within the next
few years. and that the price level
will remain permanently high as
with the pre-war level"
