PROBABLE FREIGHT
 EMBARGO DISCUSSED
R. (. Hughes of Traffic Bureau Takes Action on Poor Conditions of
 Freight and Shipping Facilities.

According to the statement issued hy Raymond c. Hughes of the traf- Hc bureau of the Chamber of Com merce the possibility of freight en- barso against New Britain is great Because of prevailing conditions. he has called a. meeting of the bureau for late this afternoon in order that the conditions may. be discussed and some betterment brought about if possible.
 NO threat of an embargo has becr. mad" by the railroads" said Afr. Hughes but unless something is done it will become u fact. If an em- bargo is laid the factories will prob ;tblN have to close down. The con hition is due entirely to the snow storm. Mr. Hughes took issue with clerk at the freight depot, who said that freights are now being received and are being shipped out daily. '''rhe truth of the situation is not fully dis closed. said Mr. Hughes.
 During the past several days the Stanley Works, American Hardware corporation. Landers. Frary and Clark. the Stanley Rule and Level company and the Traut and IIine Manufacturing company have loaned their labor to the railroad. This was done so the tracks as the yards and the switches could be cleared for in coming and outgoing freight. It is hoped that the traffic bureau can lieve the conditions here and assist in getting better freight and ship ping facilities for the local manufac- turing concerns.

COMPLEXION EXERCISES AND
HAIR CULTURE
ADVERTISEMENT
BY BARBARA BOOTH

solve a ounce of powdered Grexite
in / ounce of glycerine, and add a
pint of water. These ingredients
cost little at any druggists, and
they will make more than a pint of
massage cream that will aid in re-
moving wrinkles, give the complex
ion clear, velvety appearance and
remove roughness.
If you are losing your hair prompt
action should be taken, otherwise
badness or partial badness may en-
sue. The scalp should be properly
massaged, then apply a good hair
tonic. In massaging the scalp, do
not let the finger tips slip along the
scalp, but make the scalp move on
the skull.
For Dandruff
Here is a simple mixture which
you can make at home, that will
quickly remove dandruff, aid the
growth of the hair, and in prevent
ing it from falling out. Merely dis
solve l dram of powdered sano-
eide in 3 ounces Of bay rum, and
add ounces of water. These In
gradients can be bought at any drug
gist's at little cost, and mixed at
home. Apply to the scalp once
day after properly massaging. This
mixture is not only a stimulant and
astringent, but it is a very powerful
germicidal agent, and dandruff can
not exist where it is applied. Tbs
hair will stop falling out and dan
druff disappear within one to thres
days after beginning its use.
For Gray Hair.
As to gray, streaked or faded hair,
you can gradually darken it with this
simple homemade mixture. To u
pint Of water add l ounce Of bay
rum, small box Of Barbo Com
pound, and Il ounce of glycerine.
These ingredients can be purchased
at any druggists at little cost, and
mixed at home. Apply to the hair
every other day, until it becomes
the required shade. This is not a
dye, nor does not color the scalp, is
not sticky or greasy, and does not
rub off. It gradually darkens the
hair, and there are no quick, embar-
RAISING changes.

Midwinter is the time when roll
licking Jack Frost takes liberties
with US. Dipping his brush in Old
Winters paint box, he splashes rose
and carinine indiscriminately on

Then, too, is the time when every
well-dressed girl needs at least one
good, all-round sport suit it for no

tailleur for dressier occasions. The
outdoor costume is not only an
economy, however, but a necessity
from the standpoint of becoming
and appropriate attire. The one
shown is developed in heavy blue
wool Jersey cloth, with angora trim
ming. The jacket is plain and snug
fitting over the bust and back for
Fahe sake of warmth and slightly full
around the bottom. Its jaunty tri-
angular pockets have angora reyers
to match the collar. A belt of jer-
sey cloth gives the correct finish.
The skirt is cut circular and full two
wards round to insure freedom of
movement. Metal buttons and Jer-
sey cloth loops are the only trim
ming aside from the angora. The
tam is the correct hat for such a

HOW TO ACQUIRE HAIR BEAUTY

You can enjoy a delightful sham
poo with very little effort and for
a very trifling cost, if you get from
your druggists a package of can
throx and dissolve a teaspoonful in
a cup of hot water. This makes a
full cup of shampoo liquid, enough
so it is easy to apply it to all the
hair instead Of just the top Of the
head. Your shampoo is now ready.
Just pour a little at a time on the
scalp and hair until both are en-
tirefy covered by the daintily per
fumed preparation that thoroughly
dissolves and removes every bit OF
dandruff, excess oil and dirt. After
rinsing the hair dries quickly with
a fluffiness that makes it seem heav-
ier than it is, and takes on rich
luster and softness that makes
arranging it . pleasure.
