Akali in Shampoos
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared sham.
poos contain too much alkali. which
is very injurious, as it dries the
scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use Is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is
pure md entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap and beats anything else
all to pieces. You can get Mulsi-
fed at any drug store. and q few
ounces will last the whole family
for months.
Two or three teaspoonfuls Of
Mulsified in a cup or glass with a
little warm water is all that is re-
quired. 1t makes IN abundance Of
rich, creamy lather, cleanses thor
oughly. and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and
is soft, fresh looking, bright. fuzzy,
wavy and easy to handle. Besides,
1t loosens and takes out every par :
ticle Of dust, dirt and dandruff.
BE sure your druggist gives you

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Sale of
the shipping board s fleet of 226 wood

Francisco, for $750,000 was announced
today by Chairman Lasker of the ship
ping board.
These vessels cost the government

Perry is II member of the law firm
of Humphrey and Perry. He was repre-
sented at the sale by William }. Hum

an increase of about 500 per ship over
the best offer received heretofore.

MRS. HARDING

Wife of President Passes
Crisis in Illness;
Doctors Declare

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Mrs. Har
ding is now virtually out of danger, un-
less an unexpected relapse occurs, Dr.
C. w. Sawyer announced today.
Six attending physicians reported at
9:45 a. m today in an official bulletin.
The bulletin read:
"Mrs. Harding's condition at s a. m.
Temperature 98.S; pulse "a; respira-
tion 80; early part of night restless.
Latter part comfortable. General ap-
pearance improved. Enlargement due
to the nephrosis decreasing. Labratory
findings favorable. Crisis seems to
have passed. Surgical procedure oeem.
ed unnecessary for the present.
"(Signed) c. E. Sawyer
A note of warming against too great
optimism came from the White House
early today. 1t was pointed out that
Mrs. Harding's excellent condition now
is only comparative and she is still
extremely weak and in great danger
of her life because of the insidious
character of the kidney malady from
which she is suffering.

SEPARATE PEACE
in RAIL STRIKE
ASSURED-JEWELL
Government Scores Against
Strikers in Court
Action Today

! CHICAGO, Sept. l2.-Acceptance oil
the plan for separate peace between the
striking railroad shopmen and inGividu-
al lines by the policy committee of the
shopcrafts was forecast this afternoon
by Bert NJ. Jewell, president of the
! organization. Emerging from a meet
ried on by the policy committee over
the proposal submitted by Jewell, the
union president, said a statement could
be expected about 6 p. NJ. on the action
of the conference.
81 believe my recommendation Will
be accepted - Jewell said, although
it is too early to say for certain yet.
''In ease it is accepted, the men will
be back at work on hany lines within
five days.
At the same time reports from other
sources were that Jewell had met siren
uous opposition from some members of
the committee.
Even if the policy committee should
act favorably on the separate peace
according TO tneSe reports, tic Stfihe
would not be settled on more thar
dozen roads.
0he real battle over the Daugherty
injunction was launched today.
The federal government attempted
to prove the existence of q gigantic
nationwide conspiracy to paralyze the
railroads of the country.
Blocked i'll every move of the first
skirmish over the injunction, attorneys
for the Shopmen bitterly assailed the
writ and attempted to gain sweeping
notifications.
In the meantime, the preliminary re
straining order was continued for 10
days to allow Il full presentation of the
case.
The government scored heavily on
three points in the early stages of the
battle:
|. The court continued the operating
time of the writ,
>. The court refused, at least tenn
porarily, to dismiss the injunction.
$. The court admitted, under advise
meut, a mass of evidence consisting of
telegrams, letters and reports detailing
incidents of violence, killings, bomb
ings, burnings, etc, in connection with
the strike.

IMPERIAL ROAD
TO BE FINISHED
BY. JANUARY |
Estimated Cost of Two Mile
Highway Is $4,000;
Second to None

Construction of the two miles of
state highway between Ell Centre and
Imperial, which is estimated will cost
about $4,000, is in full swing under
the supervision of j. +. Knapp, Tur-
lock contractor. 1t is estimated the
work will be completed about Janu-
airy |, when there will be u road be-
tween the two cities second to none i'll
the state.
The specifications call for a six inch
concrete road, 20 feet wide, with 10
foot rolled surface on either side OF
the pavement, making a roadway 40
feet wide. The sand and gravel for
the work is furnished without charge
ty the county from its gravel pit at
Frink, the state transporting 1T to a
point on Imperial avenu north of the
San Diego and Arizona railroad tracks
where it can be used as desired for the
Imperial highway.
Preparatory to the actual work OF
construction, it will be necessary TO
excavate approximately $4,000 cubic
wards of earth, and this alone will take
the greater. part of month or SIX
weeks, and is expected to cost about
$4,000. Once the excavation work Is
completed, pouring the concrete Will ez
started and the work rushed through
as rapidly as is consistent.
Contrary to various reports as to the
length of the section to be paved, En-
gineer F.. f. Watson of the County
Highway Commission says the distance
is exactly two miles. The distance on
either end of this stretch will be paw
ed by the cities of I'll Centre and I'M
perial and by Imperial county. 1t IS
hoped to have the entire stretch De-
tween the two cities paved mt the same
time, but no provision mas as yet been
made by the county for its share or
the paving. The city of FL Centre has
already instructed the city engineer 10
submit estimates for its section or
paving and similar action is contem-
plated by Imperial.
j. f. Knapp is no stranger TO I'M
perial valley having done considerable
road work here, including three mile
stretch on the highway between tins
city and Calexico.

IS THREAT
Great Britain, France and
Italy Will Defend
COnstantinOple
NOTICE GIVEN TURK
Fear Turk Army Will In
wade Neutral Territory
as Greeks Defeated

LONDON, Sept 12.-War between
Turkey and the allies, with Constantine
ople as the prize, threatened today.
Nabv Bey, Turkish delegate in Paris
issued n statement announcing that
Turkey would demand return of Con
stantinople.
Allied high commissioners notified
Mustapha Kemal that invasion of the
Constantinople neutral zone would not
be permitted.
The victorious army il Kemalists
having crushed the Greeks, is, reported
eager TO advance upon the citH, which
is now held by the allied forces.
Great Britain, according to word
given out here today, has concentrated
her entire Mediterranean fleet III Near
Eastern waters prepared for any event
uality. II is understood French and
italian ships are en- route.
Lloyd George is given credit for
bringing the French into line and per-
suading them to join the other allies
in presenting an unbroken front to
the moslems. Hereto fore they have
favored the Turks.
Allied troops in Constantinople are
lut ibifiSH dtfOlulHp
to dispatches received here today, to
prevent recurrence of the riots there
yesterday in which Turks looted the
shops of Christians. Several persons
were reported killed.
A move against Constantinople might
have the backing Of the Moslem world
and devolp into holy war. The city
of Delhi, India, is understood to have
cabled congratulations to Mustapha
Kemal on his battle successes. Upris-
ings against the British government in
India, Palestine and other Moslcm ter
ritories probably would be essayed sim
ultapeously with the attack on Con.
stantinople.
The allied troops in Smyrna and
Constantinople are few compared to the
Turks. Several squadrons of blue
jackets and marines are on duty at
Smyrna and the allied garrisons at
Constantinople would have to be rein
forced heavily in event of actual war.
Constantinople was taken from the
Turks and neutralized after the world
war; Since then it has been held by
small force representing all the allies,
with the British predominant. The
Sultan is permitted to remain there
with his personal bodyguard. The
Sultan, being under the eye OF the
allies in Constantinople, has had no
hand in this uprising.

FIVE FIGHT TO BEAT
SEN. LODGE TODAY
Massachusetts, Primary To-
day to Determine Opp0-
nent of Veteran Senator in
November Election.

BOSTON, Sept. 12.-Campaign ex
citement grips Massachusetts, The pre-
! liminary skirmish in the battle to pr,
Henry Cabot Lodge out of the Unite,
States senate is being held today.
Lodge himself is the calmest, cool
est person in the state.
His opponents, some republicans ant
all democrats, are excited, not because
| they think Lodge will be beaten fo
the republican nomination, but becaus,
they are trying to work the state int
enough of sweat to give the demo
cratic candidate a chance in the Nov
ember election.
Lodge is calm and cool because it il
his nature; also because he knows, JUS
as the democrats privately concede
that only an earthquake can prevent
his nomination.
Joseph Walker, former speaker o,
the Massachusetts, house of represent
less job of trying to beat Lodge in the
primaries.
Few are rash enough to bet OF
Walker s chances. All the betting cen
ters in the fight for the democratic
nomination.. These are the candidates
Sherman L. Whipple, lawyer and
former counsel U. S. Shipping Board.
Col. William A. CASTOR, chairman
National Shawmut Bank.
John Jackson Walsh, former STATE
representative.
Dallas Lore Sharp, professor of Eng
lish, Boston University.
The democratic race is thought to be
between Whipple and CASTOR. The
latter, former candidate for both gov
ernor and United States senator, is
backed by John +. Fitzgerald, former
mayor of Boston and now candidate
for governor. Whipple has the back
ing of the other political boss, Mayor
James NJ. Curley, of Boston.
The primary fight is curious in that
five men-one republican and four
democrats-are vigorously lambasting
Lodge, while the public looks on with
languor and apathy.
"Beat Lodge!' That s the cry. But
few believe anybody can beat Lodge.
The public is enjoying the joust, but
with certain jealousy; they bitterly
resent the disposition of senator's and
congressman and private citizens in
other states joining in the lambasting
of Lodge. Ts them Lodge is an insti-
tuition, a monument, local deity-sen
ator for 80 years, as permanent as the
Plvmonth Rock.
National interest is greater in the
Massachusetts fight than in any other
political struggle of the year, particu-
larly because Lodge is regarded--in
his capacity as chairman of the senate
committee on foreign relations and his
leadership of the fight against former
President Wilson and the League of
Nations--as the arch-enemy of the
democratic party.
Democrats in Massachusetts and the
United States generally are praying
for the defeat of Lodge in his sixth
senatorial fight. But they are gloom
lily experimenting no earthquakes, GER
tainly none at the primaries, and prob
ably none in November.
