ACT SUSTAINED.
TOO, BY COURT
Injunction Proceedings
OF Three States Are
Dismissed

WASHINGTON, June Both
the federal prohibition amendment
and the enforcement act passed by
congress were held constitutional to-
day by the Supreme Court which dis
missed the injunction proceedings
brought by Rhode Island, New Jersey
and Wisconsin.
The opinion, rendered by Justice
Vandeventer, was short, setting forth
the courts conclusions. Chief Justice
White rendered supplemental opin-
ion going into the issues involved
Justice McReynolds, while not dis
senting, said he confined his ''con
clusions to fact. 1t is impossible to
say what construction should be Civ
en- to the Eighteenth amendment. A
multitude of questions will arise and
| prefer to remain free when they
arise
Validity of the prohibition amend
ment and portions of the enforcement
act was involved in seven separate
proceedings before the Supreme
Court.
In all the cases a general attack
on the amendment was made on
ground that it was revolutionary and
constituted legislation in the guise of
, constitutional amendment design
ed to regulate the private habits of
individuals: that it interfered with
the states police powers; that it was
invalid because adopted by two
thirds of the members of congress
jresent when the vote was taken, and
not by two-thirds of the membership,
and that the amendment was not rat
fled by three-fourths of the states,
owing to requirements that amend
ments b esubmitted to a referendum.

Use Cocoanut Oil
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. his dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is
very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo (Which is pure and entirely
greaseless, is much better than any,
thing else you can use for shampooing,
as this can't possibly injure the hair
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily, and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly and it leaves it fine ard
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsfied cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store. 1t

this been preached when the plant originally was
founded, the plan undoubtedly would have been
opposed bitterly.
The latest proposal will entail the purchase
of additional equipment for the plant sooner or
later it is said. In of an accident to the ma
chinery, the additional demands on it will mean
prolonged interruption in making repairs, it is
pointed out. The plant now is carrying about all
the load it can produce.
This is not an opportune time to buy machin-

IDENTIFY believed machinery will sell for much less
than it does today. If this is true the city will be
forced to pay interest on much greater invest
ment than would be the case if it turned down
the petition of the Wayne Light and Power COM
pany.
The additional costs for equipment to take on
this kind of business is estimated to be about
100000. The citizens of Richmond will not be
in favor Of this expenditure. They believe the
plant should be made highly efficient for the use
of the homes, business houses and factories of
Richmond They are opposed to equipment to
produce electricity to be sold to private COM
panies.

Selling Current to Private Companies

The policy of permitting the municipal light
plant to sell current to private companies which
in turn furnish it to small centers of population
is questionable one, and the board of public
works did well in deferring action on the request
of the Wayne Light and Power company, which
sought this privilege.
The municipal light plant originally was built
by the Richmond taxpayers to furnish the utility
for their homes, business houses and industrial
concerns. They put up the money and have
financed the improvements that since have been
made. The original scope of the plant did not
