vestigation of the motive for the at
tack made on Mrs. d. A. Rupp. wife
of Lieut.. ID. A. Rupp, U. S. A,
which occurred at her home on

Mrs. Rupp was stabbed twice in the
left shoulder and once in her back in
her room on December Z. Lieutenant
RuVp. at the time OF the assault, de-
clarcd his wife had been attacked by
a woman. lie exhibited an earring
which he declared had been torn from
the ear of his wife's assailant by Mrs.
Rupp.
Later he confessed that he alone
was responsible for the attack. a
ladder found under Mrs Rupp's win
dow added to the sensational features
OF the attack.
Rupp at first said the woman as-
Saillant was accompanied by man
and that they had gained entrance to
Mrs. Rupps room by ascending the
ladder. When he confessed that he
assaulted his wife, no explanation as
to how the ladder came to be under
Mrs. Rupps window was given.
Colonel Hensley. commanding Of
fccr OF the Langley Field reserva-
tion. said he wanted the matter thor
1ughly Investigated. lie said Lieu
tenant Rupps confession did not
satisfy him. and a board OF inquiry
was summoned and investigated the
matter.
The report OF this board was sent
to Washington, but it's findings have
never been made public. The police
Of Hampton. Va. investigated the af-
fair Independently OF the military au =
thorities, and they discovered that the
earring in the case belonged to a
woman residing in Hampton who is
well known to several officers sta
toned at Lanlcy Field.
They also asCcrtained that another
officer was involved in the cast, but
his name has never been made public
by officials at Langley Field. II was
stated. however, that this officer
would probably be arranged for
court-martial when the case was thor.
oughly aired.

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 a1kali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle. ana
lis very harmful Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
anything else you can use for sham
pooling, as this can't possibly injure
the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
|of Mulsified will make an abundance
of rich. creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
riDses out easily, and removes every
particle of dust. dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessiye 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. Be sure your druggist gives
you Mulsified.-Adv.

Afraid of Pneumonia took VinoI

Mrs. Mary Lock of 50 North San
Pedro street, San Jose, Calf, writes
as follows
"A neighbor recommended Vinol and
I took it for a hard cough which was
accompanied by pleurisy. 1 was afraid
might have pneumonia. tried some
remedies and physicians medicines but
did not seem to gain very much. 1 do
housekeeping and work in the fruit
harvest during the season. 1 took four
bottles of Vinol and began to gain
from the very first doses. and am now
feeling fine. 1 think Vinol is one Of
the best remedies
If more people took Vinol when they
began to feel out of sorts, rundown and
otherwise debilitated, there would be
fewer cases of long siegessof illness.

psrtment of Justice no adequate ex-
planation has been made. 1t may be
assumed that if President Wilson
had similarly named, on the ground
Of personal political service, an at
torney for Morse, and lawyer
whose career was more related to
promoting legislative action than to
practicing in the courts, Senator
Harding would have been among the
first to criticize.
So the new Cabinet as a whole
is to be rated as a disappointment
tempered by Messrs. Hughes and
Hoover. Great is the pity that the
President-eect did not perceive the
need of selecting advisers whose
mere presence would have started
the new Administration brilliantly.
But, though advantage Of an oppor-
tunity was not seized to the full, this
will lead none. to be lax in coopera-
ton. Responsibilities have way Of
stimulating growth, and eager is the
desire of all for the success Of the
Harding Administration.
