If there is any place in the United States where
there ought to be an old fashioned 100 per cent
interest in politics 1t is in the state Of Ohio, yet
early returns from the state wide primary election
held there yesterday indicate that very light vote
was polled. The unusual lack Of interest on the
part Of the real public has been apparent from the
beginning Of the pre-convention campaign, and If
there is not a speedy change campaign managers
will do well to stop trying to pick issues for the
public and get down to old fashioned efforts to get
out the vote.

With the exception Of sporadic efforts made N tie

are plenty Of owners Of cars who will not venture out
at night or during The hours Of he day time when
traffic IS dense unless they are compeIedto. .
In view Of the supneness Of the local authorizes the
only way IN which that state Of affairs may be cured
is BY building up abody Of public opinion which will

With the legislatures Of Tennessee and North
Carolina now in session and the obstinate governor
Of Connecticut having refused new appeal made
by Republican Chairman Hays, the matter Of
whether women are to vote in all the. states this
fall may be said to have got down to bed rock. I'm
less the suragsts are able before the end Of this
week to feel sure that they have the situation well
in hand in one OF both Of the states where the leg
islatures are nowstting there will be real occasion
for pesslmism regarding the matter.

President George 7. Watson proved last evening
at the booster banquet that in him the Chamber
Of Commerce has an ideal presiding officer. He
knows where he is going and how to get there all
the time, and he does it with grace and COM
raderie which makes most favorable impression.
His management Of the dinner last night the first
big affair since he became head Of the body, was so
good that those who did not know that 1t was his
first probably thought that presiding over Chamber
Of Commerce dinners was an old story with him.
This fine quality Of leadership is going to be great
asset the chamber as it gets set in the harness
for the movement to make this the most important
industrial city in northern West Virginia.

TRAIN YOUR HAIR AS AN
ACTRESS DOES

No class of people devotes as much
time to beauty as do actresses, and no
class must be more careful to retain
and develop their charms. Inquiry
develops the information that in hair
care they find it dangerous to sham
poo with any makeshift hair cleanser
The majority say that to have the
best hair wash and scalp stimulator
at a cost of about three cents, one
need only get a package of canthroX
from your druggist; dissolve a tea
spoonful in a cup of hot water and
your shampoo is ready. This makes
enough shampoo liquid to apply it to
all the hair instead of just the top of
the head. After its use the hair dries
rapidly. with uniform color. Dam
druff. excess oil and dirt are quickly
dissolved and entirely disappear when
you rinse through hair. After this your
hair will be so fluffy it will look
much heavier than 1t is. It's luster and
softness will delight you, while the
stimulated scalp gains the health
which insures hair growth.-Adv.
