Soap should be used very carefully, if
you want TO keep your hair looking its best
Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain
too much alkali This dries the scalp,
makes the hair brittle and ruins it.
| The best thing for steady use is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo (Which is pure and
greaseIess), and is better than anything
else you can use.
| One or two teaspOonfuls Of Mulsified will
| cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly.
Simply moisten the hair with water and
rub it in. 1t makes an abundance Of rich.
creamy lather, which rinses out easily, re-
moving every particle of dust. dirt, dan
druff and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly. and it leaves the scalp
soft, and the hair fine and silky, lustrous,
fluffy and easy to manage.
| You can get Mulsified cocoanut ell

and a few ounces will supply every mem

PUTS BLAME ON CONGRESS
Writer Charges Disaster to PAIRING
Funds and Jobs for Constituents.

To the Editor CT The Star:
Washinstonians are sick to death
of Investigations inevitably leading
nowhere. The blame for the Knicker-
booker Theater disaster lies pri-
marily at the door of Congress. Our
estimates for salaries are pared to
such an extent the services Of capable
men are impossible to command.
Moreover, what we require in our
municipal offices are educated, capa-
bic and responsible men. not congress
sional constituents.

|. R. 7. NOTEHOLDERS
URGED TO EXCHANGE
Hedley Explains Seeming Dis
crepancy Between z and
8 Per Cents.

Having met the semi-annual interest
due January l on its S161, 100000 first
and refunding per cent bonds. the
Interborough Rapid Transit Company is
preparing to meet the interest due
March / on the s3S.14400o extended
per cent. notes. Frank Hedley, presi-
dent of the company has sent letter
urging holders OF the three year per
cent. notes to deposit them under the
extension agreement. About S3,000.000
OF the rs remain undeposited. He says
in part:
Many of the holders of the z per
cent. notes have been deferred from ef-
fecting the exchange of their securities
into the per cent. notes by reason OF
q nisapprehenson as to the basis upon
which the two classes of securities have
been quoted upon the New York curb
market. The per cent. notes are
quoted flat. The quotation for the D
per cent. notes, on the other hand, does
not include accrued interest. Conse-
quently the per cent. notes are gen.
orally quoted point or two higher than
the per cent. notes. This seeming
difference in market value Is, therefore.
apparent, but not real. AS a matter OF
fact, the market value of the two sets
of notes is at all times substantially the
same. The reason is not generally
known to our noteholders, and we be-
lieve the facts should be given so that
all outstanding Z per cent. noteholders
may have no further hesitancy upon
this score in depositing their z per cent.
notes for extension.
THE last date upon which both the
Z per cent. notes and the extended 8
per cent. notes We're traded in upon the
New York Curb Market was January Z.
1922. The closing quotation upon that
date for per cent. notes was 161a, ana
for the per cent. notes, "a. These quo
tations. on their face. would seem to ind.-
cate a difference of 2h points in market
value in favor Of the Z per cent. notes.
This difference. however, does not exist.
because the Z per cent. notes are bought
and sold fiat-that is, without interest
from September !, 1921, while the per
cent. notes carry the attached interest
coupon and are bought and sold with in
terest at per cent. from September J..
1921"
So far no notice has been received
by the New York Stock Exchange re-
! garding the regular quarterly dividend
! of 1% per cent. on the stock of the
Manhattan Railway Company, which is
| guaranteed by the Interborough. This
payment was due January l. Since the
latter company has been forced 70
| adopt the policy of making the payment
| out of current receipts, in the last sew
\ eral quarters there have been delays of
! from ten days to two weeks after the
due date before the dividend checks
were mailed.

SIGNS SEEN OF RAIL
MEN YIELDING A BIT
Officials Look for Revision of
Working Conditions at
Hoover Conference.

The second OF a series of conferences
among Secretary Hoover. railroad ex-
ecutives and the chiefs OF the five big
railroad brotherhoods will be held in
Washington on Monday in an >effort to
agree to wages and working conditions
for the train service employees with
out carrying the dispute to the United
States Railroad Labor Board.
Called by Secretary Hoover with the
approval OF the President. the confer
ences and their possible results form an
issue upon which local railroad officials
are divided in opinion.
The discussion will center upon the 10
per cent. reduction In wages for men
engaged in train and yard service. on
which the railroads will begin confer
erccs with ,vCai li.','i c:;acials on jan
uary IL, u36 upon :l,c Iro:.o: al of the
carriers to revise the working rules of
these classes of employees, to eliminate
extra pay for overtime duty and other
compensatory rules. as soon as the
wage reduction question has been
settled.
Since the attitude OF the local union
officials in these individual conferences
is gov srned entirely by instructions
from their national leaders. some rail-
road officials regard the consent of the
latter to attend the Washington confer
ence as an indication that the national
leaders are vesring around to a point at
which they may be willing to yield
ground in the stiff fight they have so
far put up for the maintenance of
wages and working rules gained during
the war.
Thus 1t Is considered possible that the
brotherhood chiefs may agree to a re-
vision of their working conditions that
would increase the efficiency and earn
Ing power of the railroads in return for
the abandonment In whole or in part OF
the 10 per cent. fiat wage reduction the
carriers are preparing TO place before
the Labor Board after the necessary for
malities of conferences with the en-
ployees on each road have been dis
posed of.
Few railroad executives here seem 10
share the fear of Secretary Hoover that
if the railroad wage issue should come
TO a head before the Railroad Labor
Board about the time that the national
agreement on coal miners wages cx-
piros, on March /. the stage would be
set for a nationwide strike in two of
the country's basic industries.

Against Adoption March rs.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.--Forty-nine Of
the larger railroads OF the United States
serving virtually all sections OF the
country were ordered by the Interstate
Commerce Commission to-day TO show

the order tentative decision making II

of experimentation. while exhaustive
tests have been made under the COM
MISSIONS observations on several lines
The roads made subject TO the installa-
ton requirement to-day, the commission
said. are those on which traffic condi-
tions and other considerations make
