FUND ORGANIZER
QUITS HIS POST
Allen Resigns From the State
Workmen'S Insurance to
Establish Business

Albert L. Allen, who organized
the State Workmen's Insurance Fund
four years ago, and contributed
materially to its growth and its sue
cess, to-day sent his resignation as
assistant manager to State Treasur-
er Harmon NJ. Kephart, chairman of
the Workmen's Insurance Fund
, Board. Mr.. Allen will enter the in
surance business himself, feeling
that it affords a larger field for his
experience ard knowledge of liza
bility insurance.
Tells of Funds Growth
Mr.. Aliens letter of resignation
gives some interesting history re-
garding the growth of the fund from
an idea and an act to a business
with a premium income of millions.
1t is as follows:
Il hereby tender my resignation
as assistant manager of the State
, Workmen's Insurance Fund to take
effect September 10, 1919.
Having served almost an exact
four years in this position during
the period of organization and de-
Velopment OF the State Workmen's
Insurance Fund and feeling that the
maximum of possibility has been
reached so far as my personal op-
portunity in State employment is
concerned, l am entering the open
business field for the purpose OF
obtaining an improved opportunity.
1T is with feelings of both regret
and satisfaction that l relinquish my
connection with the State Fund to
enter in a private capacity the COM
pensation insurance field of Penn
/ sylvania.
The severance of the associations
! built up during my four years in the
service of the Commonwealth
naturally is attended by feelings of
regret. However, this feeling is
somewhat offset by my satisfaction
/ in having participated in the de-
velopment of the State Workmen' S
! Insurance Fund from a mere name
to a compensation insurance insti-
tuition having an annual premium
/ income of approximately S2,500,000,
having a surplus of over s1,5O0,00C,
having returned to policyholders
each year substantial dividends and
standing to-day as a safe and secure
/ compensation insurance medium
with the confidence of the public.
1T is my desire to express at this
time to the members of the State
Workmen's Insurance Board my sim
cere appreciation of their friendly
attitude and cooperation which has
always been accorded me-"

Great Britain had repeatedly pledged
he said. that her occupation II Egypt

publican members of the committee

powers as made the Treaty. and that

by the American State Departments
Referring to the outbreaks against

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what Won
wash it with.
Most soaps land prepared shanpoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle. and
is very harmful. Just plain muIsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaselesa}, is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing. as
this can't possibly iniure the hair.
Simply rnoisten your hair with
water and rub it in. noe or two tea
spoonfuls viii make an abundance of
rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily, and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves 1t fine and silky,
bright, fluffy and easy to manage,
You can get mulgitied cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. It is very
cheap, and a feW ounces Is enough Ia
last everyone in the family for
months.
