Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash it
with.
Most soaps and prepared shanpoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. Mulsihed cocoanut 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 injurc the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
ia,her, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily.
and removes every particle of dust, dirt.
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly. and it leaves
i. fine and silky, bright. fluffy and easy
to manage
You can get Mulsifed 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.

CHIEF Of RAILWAY
OUTLAWS" ORDERS
MEN BACK TO WORK
PRESIDENT GRUNAU ISSUES LET
TER URGING SWITCHMEN TO
MAKE APPLICATION FOR OLD
PLACES BACK.

Chicago Sept lG.-Complete and
official announcement that the strike
of the outlaw switchmen is at an end
was made Tuesday by john Grunau,
president and chairman OF the board
of directors of the United Association
OF Railroad Employees OF America.
In the Chicago switching district
it is now declared iairxto work for any
railroad on and after Sept. - the
statement reads. We also advise
that our members in other districts
resume work on the best terms pos
sible in their respective divisional
points.
With reference to seniority rights,
though we have lost our seniority We
have won one OF the greatest battles
in the history of the railroads by
forcing the government to appoint
the United states Railroad Labor
Board,
I'VE believe that every railroad
man in this country is in sympathy
with the socalled outlaw urganiza-
ton whether he has been on a yaca-
ton or not. We feel that they know
we were instrumental in getting the
recent increase.

Time was in the motion picture
production game when nobody
cared particularly what q director
was or wasn't, and no one looked
eagerly for the information whether
their favorite director preferred
peaches and cream or blondes. But
times have changed, and the private
life of a director is as interesting 10

second, and third and permanent
last but not least-the screen.
"Pick out the smallest dot you

Mr.. Trimble's school days were

William Farnum's latest picture
presented by william Fox, which
comes TO the Crescent Theatre today
is called The Joyous Trouble
makers" The attractive title prom
ises more than a glimpse of the IA
mouse Farnum smile.
The story itself. so far as outlined
by Manager Charles E. Tenney. Is
just as promising. The Joyous
Troublemakers' Is the story of a
youth who finds gold where Nature
has hidden 1t 70. ages. Farnum APP
pears first as the care-free youth
spending golden hours on a rock in
the sunshine, trying to coax lsh to
swallow a hook. But he finds more
than fish in the water-and they are
golden hours indeed. He acquires
secretly, from the Government, the
acres where the gold lies.
Later Farnum appears as the man
come back after years to claim his
own. Again he gets more than he
has come for. The rest OF the story
must be guessed from the fact that
Louise Lovely is playing opposite Mr..
Farnum. Louise Lovely, as all pic
turegoers know, is at her best in
love passages.
