Hair Often Ruined
By Careless Washing

Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle. and ruins it
The best thing for steady use is Null
sified cocoanut oil shampoo (Which is
pure and greaseless), and is better
than anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will 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. dir,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get MUlsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap, and a few ounces will supply
every member of tn family for
months-Adv.

 Hatfield announced that he was not making plea for himself alone, but for the public at large, who ought to be given more warning of the parking ordinance.
 After hearing the mans protest, Judge Wilder found him guilty, and imposed a fine of $1. He fixed bonds for an appeal at $10 but Hatfield de- clared that be would carry the case no further.
 Despite the protests which have been coming in as the result of the enforce ment of the new ordinance, the police declared today that they would con- tinue to carry out the provisions of the ruling. Signs are being completed as rapidly as possible and will be posted in the near future on all the streets which come within the re- structed zones.

ANOTHER SLEEVE
 QUESTION

While one question as to sleeves that of length, seemsa to have been fairly well settled, another one is now replacing it. It was said, when the season opened, that whether or not the long and three-quarter sleeves re- placed the very short ones, the drop shoulder and the kimono cut would continue good. Since the buyers have been coming into the market however, one hears repeated com ment that bEouses made with the smooth shoulder lines are not finding favor in their eyes.
 Several manufacturers have report ed that buyers are reque esting changes in samples. That is, they want blouses that are made with the kinono line recut and made with the set-in- sleeve. In a great many cases man. ufacturers had already anticipated this call for the set-in sleeves; but the number of such samples availab ble evidently does not satisfy the buyers and consequently remaking has al- ready been necessary.
