A joke is being told on an absent
minded eastern professor. He was TAX
ing some students to the country to
study rocks. At the station he said,

"Yes," said the professor pulling
out his watch, you have about Is

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

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 alkali. This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle, ana
is very harmful. Mulsifed cocoanut
oil shampoo (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaselcss). is much better than
anything else YOU can use for sham
pooling as this can't possibly injurc
the hair
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls of Mulsificd will make
an abundance of rich. creamy lather,
and clcanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out easily
and removes every particle of dust
dirt. dandruff and excessive 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 any drug store 1t is very
cheap. and few ounces is enough tn
last everyone in the family for months.
re sure your druggist gives you Null
eitied.-Ady.

Mr.. Leonard has served as county
"Y" secretary since July 1920. In
reporting on his work during that
time, he pointed out that the chief
thing has been the development of

II of these clubs, each undcr the di-
rection of q young man as leader.
-Four vocational guidance courses
We're conducted for nine weeks last
winter. During the past year and a
half, besides the Father and Son
banquets, there have been held about
90 socials in the county with a total
of about $500 in attendance. Father
and Son banquets have recently
been held in a number of places with
total attendance of about 533
"daddieS" and dads. Most of the
clubs have carried on Bible, study
courses in addition to their athletic
and educational activities.
The county emblem test is a new
feature that has been worked out in
the y. NJ. c. A. program of the
county and State. This has been de-
clared by a member of the internal
tional committee to he one of the best
contributions TO boys work yet made

greatly needed in the work. Two

Mozart was always partial to the
high soprano voice and when writ
ing this famous opera he created two
prima donna soprano roles requiring
coloratura sopranos of the first wat
er. All the soprano arias of the OPP
era are of bravura character, taking
the voice to High Z numerous times,
and often sending them skyrocket-
ing to F. above High c.
To fill these difficult parts manager
Hinshaw selected two of the finest
singers before the American public,
Regina Vicarino. the famous
Italian prima donna, and Hazel Hunt
ington, who also possesses a remark
able coloratura voice. Seldom, if
ever, has Augusta had an opportunity
to hear coloraturas of their equal.
Miss Huntington, the Mile. Uhlic"
of The Impresario" possesses not
only a marvellous coloratura voice,
perfectly schooled, but also possesses
the figure and the charming PERSONAL
ity so necessary to a successful ca
reer as an operate heroine. Her
voice is of a bird-like quality, and
she does the most difficult pyrotech-
niques of vocalism with the ease and
grace of a Melba.
From coast to coast music critics
and the press have been unanimous
in their praise of Miss Huntington's
singing. Will e. Hill of the famous
Bowling Green. Ky, Musical Course,
wrote: ''Vicarino is an artist to her
finger tips. Miss Huntington was the
surprise of my life, her voice being
more beautiful than Mabel Garrison's
which was heard here in concert re-
