MOVIE ACTRESSES AND THEIR
HAIR

Did It ever occur TO you that every
movie actress you have seen has
lovely hair, while the most popular
count their curls as their chief
beauty In fact. many are leading
ladies just because of their attractive
looks. Inquiry among them discloses
the fac, that they bring out all the
natural beauty of their hair by care
ful shampooing, not with any soap
or makeshift, but with a simple mix
turc by putting a teaspoonful Of can
throx (Which they get from the drug
gist) in a cup Of hot water and ap-
plying hi, instead Of soap. This full
cup Of shampoo liquid Is enough so
il Is easy to apply il to all the hair
instead Of jus, the top Of the head
After its use. the hair dries rapidly
with uniform color Dandruff, excess
oil and dirt are dissolved and entirely
disappear. The hair is so fluffy that
j, look. much heavier than II is, its
iuster and soi,ness are delightful.

Off GIicer Shoots
 Youth
Boy Fatally Injured As Policeman Fires At
 Fleeing Tickets. SHOTS AND RIOTS MARK CAR STRIKE

New York, Aug. ERioting and the firing of shots at a wrecking crew early today marked the beginning of the second day of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit strike. Max Kaufman, a 12 year old Brook lyn boy, was shot in the back and probably fatally injured today by 8 stray bullet fired by 8 policeman.
 The officer was pursuing three strike pickets after the latter had at tackled and beaten a guard on a. Can arsie-Broadway L train. The pickets escaped.
 At 8 a. m. the company reported 1S7 surface cars, or approximately 15 per cent of the maximum, to be in oper- ation. From one to three polio emen were stationed on each car. On the subway and l. lines, the company stated, the service was 15 to r per cent of normal.

JOBS TO DISCHARGED
 SERVICE MEN

Bridgeport banks and trust compa- nies not only restored discharged sol diers and sailors to their old positions but retained those who had been hired to fill vacancies caused by war neces- sity. This was learned today in con nection with the reply made to an in- quiry by the American Bankers asso- ton, which is conducting a campaign for the re-employment of all banking employees returned from the national service.
 In the case of smaller banking in stitutions in this city the return of service men and the retention of those engaged during the war means a staff that Is larger in point of numbers than actually necessary at thh tirAe of year. But 1t was decided by bank officials that this policy was the fair est to all concerned.
 The American Banking association is also desirous of discovering if bankers find that discharged service men wish to return to their old jobs and if there Is any marked change in their general attitude toward their former positions.

Inspection Of Food For
 Bridgeport Has Started SHIPMENT OF CANNED VEGETABLES WILL
 PROBABLY FOLLOW DISPOSAL OF HAM COMPANY OFFERS EQUIPMENT.

With John O'ConneH, local butcher, designated as the city's inspector of the government meat products which are to be brought here by the Muni- cipa1 Food Committee, in New York today, 1t can be said that the first step in the movement of the food to- wards Bridgeport has been taken.
 Accompanied by James A. Turner, chairman of the committee, O'Connell went to New York today and when the purchase of 30,000 pounds of hams had been ratified by the gov ernment officials, the inspection start ed. This will take a few days and for the sake of economy no move ment will be made until almost the entire lot can be brought to the local firehouses.
 Transportation Associa- ton, waited upon Mayor Wilson to- day and offered the company's full equipment to move the foodstufs from New York to this city. The of fer was accepted and the company will be called upon the first of next week to send it's trucks to New York to be loaded.
 A shipment of canned vegetables will probably follow the disposal of the shipment of hams, 1t was stated after the committee conference with Mayor Wilson this morning. It was pointed out, however, that nothing could be too definitely stated the committee desiring to keep all plans open so that the best opportunitie es may be taken advantage of as they arise.

SYSTEMATIz'ED
 LAUNDERING OF TRANSPORTATION

Washington, Aug. 7-Leading di- rectly from Wall Street, and from the banking house controlled directly by the Morgan and Rockefeller groups" information which has come into the possession of the railroad brotherhoods shows that there has proceeded a systematized plundering of virtually all of the public trans portation highways in the United States" the House Interstate Com merce Commission was told today by Glenn E. Plumb, of Chicago
 Plumb, who appeared in support of the so-ca1led Plumb plan for the reorganization of the railroads, said the information tended to show that the "wrecking and looting' of the New Haven, Chicago & Alton, Rock Island and Frisco lines were mot sporadic examples of the highway robbery to which the American na- tion has been subjected as to it's public transportation highways"

BRIDGEPORT, BOSTON, :. NEW LONDON AND NEW
 HAVEN SHOPS CLOSED
SIXTY QUIT IN THIS CITY AND 800 STRUCK IN NEW HAVEN AT THIS MORNING. WATERBURY SHOPMEN ALSO
 HEED STRIKE ORDER

Serious curtailment. if not q complete tie-up threatens the passenger and freight service of the New York, New Haven and Hartford road. This was forecasted this morning by the management of the company. in a statement issued from their New Haven offices fol- lowing a wall1out of the shop men employed in practically everey repair center on the lines Of the road between New York and Boston.
 Throughout Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. the shop men in all cities simultaneously laid down their tools in response to na- don-wide strike orders In Bridge port this morning, the night and day shifts, totalling 75 workers served mo- tice that they had struck. In Stam- ford 40 men employed walked out. These shopmen repair electric loco motives and a protracted strike might mean complete t1e-up of the lines in the energized zone between Stamford and New York
 One hundred men went on strike from the East Hartford shops of the N. Y, N. H. and Hartford railroad. They included maehinists boilermak- CTS and helpers They quit without giving any notice to the master me- chanic in charge of the shops. Five hundred men are employed in these shops.
 An estimate of the number who have stopped work on the Connecti- cut end of the system is 2,200 of 1900 are in the so-called New Haven shops.
 The New Haven office of the road issued the following official state ment this noon:
 At nine a. m. today, employees of the mechanical department of the New York, New Haven and Hartford engaged in the maintenance of Ioco- motives and cars and the inspection of trains at terminals at practically all points on the New Haven road, walked out. No demands have been made upon the officials and no cause given for the withdra wal from service, which we are advised is unauthorized by the executives of the organizations and therefor illegal.
