Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash it
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. Mulsified coepanut oil sham
poo (which is pure and entirely grease
less). is much better than anything else
you can use for shampooing, as this
can't possibly iniure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
of Mxlsifed will make an abundance of
rich creamy lather, and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses
out easily, and removes evtrv particle of
dust. dirt, dandrtiff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store 1t is
very cheap, and few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for months.

Two Tankers Now Being Built

AND MEXICAN TRADES

The oil tanker type Of boat, such ~ are
now being constructed at the Harlan
plant Of the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Cor
poration, Ltd, is coming into its own in
building UP the United States Merchant
Marine. As matter Of fact the oil
carrier is most vital TO the development
Of tho merchant marine, since the day Of
the coaLburping ocean steamer seems to
be passing. Fuel oil, such ns will be trans
ported in all four Of the big tankers that
Harlan is now constructing for the SIN
clair Navigation Co, a subsidiary Of the
Sinclair Oh Co, will furnish the sort Of
energy which will propel the worlds
merchant marine of the future.
Two Of the big tankcrs now on the
Harlan ways, the Albert r. Watts and
the Eugene " Thayer, are of 10000 tons
carrying capacity, which will permit the
conveying Of $1,000 barrels Of fuel oil
These vessels will be used, for the
greater part, in the Mexican and Cuban
trade. Portions Of their cargoes will be
absorbed by the great cane crushing ma
chinery in the Cuban sugar mills, and
also the fuel oil for the railroads Of the
island republic. Cheaper fuel oil trans
portation, because Of the advanced design
and capacity Of the Sinclair ships, may
contribute to the lowering Of the cost Of
Cuban sugar production. Hence Harlan
workmen may feel that they are con
tributing something to economic, as well
as scientific advancement, IN constructing
the big Sinclair tankers.
The Albert T.. Watts and the Eugene
v. Thaycr are two Of the largest ships
ever built in the Harlan yard. They are
named for the president Of the Sinclair
Navigation Co, A. T.. Watts, and di-
rector Of the concern, f. V. Thayer, who
is also president of the Chase National
