Don't Spoil Your Hair
By Washing It.

When you wash your hair, be
careful what you use. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain too
much alkali, which is very inju-
rious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap and beats anything else
all to pieces. You can get Mulsified
at any drug store and a few ounces
will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the haif with wa
ter and rub It in, about a teaspoon
full is all that Is required. It makes
an abundance Of rich, creamy lath-
er. cleanses thoroughly. and rinses
out easily. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and is soft, fresh look
ing. bright, fluffy. wavy and easy
to handle. Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle Of dust,
dirt and dandruff. Be sure your
druggist gives You Mulsiped.-

tee on roads OF the house and the
senate, to the secretary Of agricul-
ture and to the Office Of public
roads:
Efficiency Of intelligent and sym
pathetic cooperation. between the
federal and state governments has
BEEN exemplified in the adoption
and administration Of the federal
aid laws for highway Improvement
No more effective object lesson for
the inspiration to patriotic en-
deavor on the part Of our citizen
ship is presented than that of the
national and local governmental
agencies working together in the
task of providing roads disable all
the year round for the marketing
Of the products Of the fields, for
ests, mines and streams where mil
lions toll daily. Primary use Of
the roads is basically a local prob
lem and the extension Of help by
federal and state legislation is a
demonstration Of the interest of all
the people in the economic and So
cial needs Of the man at either end
of the road and in the comforts Of
his family.
Good Road Is Shortest.
THAT some highways may be
connected in an interstate system
subject to other uses does not de-
tract from the fact that good road
is the shortest distance from pro-
Queer to consumer. To foster the
very essential home support and at
the same time to maintain the gen.
eral supervision necessary for an
extensive road program, a combi-
nation of state and nation is de-
sirable.
BASED on information gathered
in the states of the Mississippi val
ley. the conclusion of your petition
ers is that the Office Of public roads
should be enlarged into one of the
most energetic and useful in the
department of agriculture and that
the present federal aid system be
undisturbed.

 The reconnaissance party estab- lished seven camps on the way into the Kantishna on each route, but did not have occasion to camp as often on the way out
 Two years ago a reconnaissance was undertaken by F. D. Browne, engineer in charge of the A. E. C., but this had to be abandoned when the party reached the Savage fork owing to the heavy mantle of snow which covered the ground and ren- dered impossible the gathering of data which would indicate the pres ence of material necessary for road construction. It was deemed neces- sary then to traverse the route for the purpse of determining the extent of glaciation and the actions of the streams crossed along the proposed route. MT. Browne expressed him. self as being very anxious to make the trip, but, owing to the volume of other work that demanded his attention, he was unable to gratify his wishes. The route traversed by MT. Browne was the same as that traversed by MT. Sterling and com menced at the mouth of Riley creek
 It is altogether probable that the Alaska road commission will obtain the additional data necessary regard ing glaciation some time during this winter.
 MT. Sterling is, at the present time busy preparing maps of the regions treated and profiles of the routes accommodated to accompany his final report and recommendations.

ROMANCE ENDS IN MARRIAGE
 AT TANANA

NENANA, Nov. S.-Miss l.. Bea- trice Nuneville, former member of the nursing staff at the government hospital, and M. c. Edmunds, drafts man in the local offices of the Alas kan engineering commission, were married at Panama in the Mission of Our Savior. Those present at the ceremony as witnesses were Miss Mabel Pick and Bon Mozes.
 The bride reached Tanana from the states shortly before the close navigation and was to have come to Nenana on the steamer Yukon, which was forced to go into winter quarters at Gibbon. AS soon as trail conditions would permit, after the trip of the Yukon had been abandoned, MT. Edmunds started for Panama overland, and the marriage took place almost immediately upon his arrival there.
 The newlyweds will return to Ne mana over the trail and will reside in the Browne cottage on the rail road reserve.

police call box and into the wall OF the
building occupied by Warren Bros.
Paint company.
Gentry claimed the car refused To
stick on the slick track after the emer-
gency brakes had been applied.
An examination of the brakes after
the wreck bore out his contention that
he had applied the emergency brakes

in the service OF the street car COM
pany for six years. No blame Is at
tached TO him by company officials.
Passengers on the car for the most
part were women They were returning
