former aren't so skilled and their
places might more readily be filled,
but even so they should not be
crowded. 1t is not the purpose of
the country to compel men to accept
the least possible wage. Supply and
demand work to that end but we be-
lieve the public want and are willing
to pay a reasonable wage. Not few
think eleven dollars a week, which

the railroad get. is not enough.
No one dissented from President
Harding when he declared that the
wage worker should be placed in an
economically sound position. This,
Of course can't be done at once, if
ever. but all regulating agencies
should keep that principle in mind
and endeavor to bring it into effect.

the Railroad Board made the award

Meanwhile it may be difficult for the

slowness in adjustment. Reconsider
alton of the matter should, however,
help them to believe this better than
resorting to extreme measures, that
the Railroad Board is handling a
very difficult problem with at least a
reasonable dispatch and with evident
disposition to accord justice, insofar
as that may be.

Alkali In Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep Your hair looking

shcmpoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp. makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Mulsifed cocoanut oil shampoo (Which
is pure and greaseless). and is better
than anything else you can use.
Two or three teaspoonfuls of Mulsi-
fed in a cup or glass with little
warm water is sufficient to cleanse the
hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply

for highway improvement. which will
mean quicker and cheaper tTanspor-
tation, have been made. Under this
heading comes also the ship subsidy
plan, which will mean extension of
transportation facilities to foreign
markets for American agricultural
products. The administration also
directed it's effort to removing old
snags in the way of fair price move
ments, and to this end put through
the packers act, which safeguards
livestock interests from unfair mar
ket manipulation. 1t is now working
out legislation that aims at protect
ing grain growers against gambling
trade transactions that have so often
in the past injuriously affected pro-
ducers.
In addition t6 these legislative
measures, the Department of Agri-
culture has a long list of notable
achievements to it's credit. Increased
appropriations and reorganization on
a more efficient basis have enabled
it to expand its activities in scion
tific research and investigation, and
this means better service to the
