G. Converse, state tax commission
er, and Independent oil companies
regarding payment Of contested back
taxes, amounting to some $4,000.

agreement of the companies to pay
all back taxes which they had here
tofore refused to pay plus six per
cent interest from the time when
they became delinquent.

today, that the Independent compan-
les will continue to pay the present

POLICEMEN
UNDER RISK
LAW, DECISION
Supreme Court Holds Widow
OF MinOt Policemen Will
Get Compensation

Policemen are employees of cities,
and as such come under the pro-
lection of tho Wnrkmer's rompen-
satfon Law. the supreme court de-
cided here In the case of Wanie s.
Fahler, as Administrative of the
estate of Leo s. Fahler, Minot po-
liceman, who was killed while on
duty as a policeman in Minot.
The Workmen's Compensation
Bureau had denied libality on the
ground that Fahler- was an "offi-
Ger" and not an "employe" of the
city.
The court decide that cities
are within the compensation
act to the extent they are
required to pay into the
compensation fund to protect en-
ployes, that policemen are entitled
to compensation as provided by
law If injured, and that where an
employe brings an action against
the city instead of the compensa-
ton bureau there is no liability on
the part of the city.

Be Careful What You Wash Your Child's Hair With

If you want 10 keep your child's
 hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with.
 Many soaps and prepared sham poos contain too much free aikali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and Is very harmful. Muls!- fled cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and entirely greaseless), is much better than anything else you can use for shampooing as this can not possibly injure the hair.
 Simply put two or three teaspoon fuls of Mulsified in cup or glass with a little warm water, then If1oisten the hair with water and rub the Mnlsified in. It will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and re- moves every particle of dust. dirt dandruff and excess oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
 z You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo at any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces will lest everyone in the family for months Be sure your druggist gives you Mulsifed.

GIRL BANDIT WAS
 'STICk.UP' ARTIST Slight Little Miss Wanted to Wed
 Led a Gang of Boys
By Roy Gibbons NEA Staff Correspondent

e Chicago, Jan. 9.-Elizabeth (Hon- ey) Sullivan, 21, who police say is confessed queen of bandit gang of eight sleek -combed youth, bemoans the loss of her pearl handled auto matic while in jail here preliminary to facing a score of robbery charges.
 No big Amazon, this hodup tigress de luxe, clad in her up-to- the minute regalia. She is fragile slip, with wide staring eyes and mouth that intrigues even as 1t pouts.
 From behind the bars of the jail here today Elizabeth told the story of her life-how she first took up banditry in quest of thrills and con- tinued it to secure money to fill her hope chest to be used when she was to wed her alleged bandit "sheik,"
 She said:
 T want excitement like most girls do. l wanted to wear the latest clothes and be a fapper up to the minute.
 "All day long I worked in my mothers candy store and life looked pretty stale inside the little shop when I watched the automobiles filled with women all dolled up pass by and me with only one glad rag to my name and no place to go.
 About year ago I met Glen. He got to be my sheik and we planned to get married some day, although he's not 21 yet

cousins and in.laws came to wath the building progress and remained to advise. In the strain of pleasing all the kin, Mccarthy and Tierney declare they almost wished they'd never had those checks. And the houses, while they might have suited the relatives, were spoiled for their owners by "too many cooks"
 WILLIAM A. BRADY
 So in London when William A. Brady, impressed by "Irene," offered the friends any show he owned for a musical comedy, they seized upon Too Many Cooks" in which young man was hampered in his house-building venture just as they were-by too many cooks and too much advice.
 They called the musical version, which bids fair to be more profitable for them even than Trene," Up She Goes" and included in its score "Journey's End" for a theme song and 'Lady Luck" an enchanting fox trot both composed during their own home-building days.
 Among other distinguished honms that have come to Up She Goes" is that of being the first musical comedy invited to play in Mr. Bradys artistic Playhouse"

Too many cooks, paradoxically though, spoiled couple ot houses tor Joseph Mccarthy and Harry rierney, but also gave them snug fortune.
 The story begins with two fat .oyalty checks received by Mccarthy and Tierney for the writing of Irene" a musical comedy which oeat all records on Broadway.
 These two, known as the Damon and Pythias of Broadway, have done everything together since their measles and humps days in New England, so they looked at the checks, then at each other and had a simultaneous inspiration to build a new house.
 FAMILIES INTERFERE
 At that time, they thought there was nothing to 1t but inspiration. Afterward, when they discovered that every member of their large families had something to say about how the houses ought to be built, they weren't SO sure. Oncles, aunts,

nents we'd have to have lots of coin and the only way left for us to get it quick was with gun.
 Needed Sash
 Maybe I was working for my hope chest. Glen and his bunch were swell dressers: they used to hang around mothers shop in the afternoons when they got out of high school and often they told me that could have the swell clothes they had too, if I'd only go out with them. They said they'd show me how to get them.
 But the clothes really weren't what I wanted 50 much as it was nest-egg for me and Glen to set up in little love joint of our own with the preacher and all the trimmings to go with it.
 "The first job I pulled was on the sidewalk. had watched the rest of the gang and Glen work when they took me along and decided I could do as well.
 "On my first job it was a man and a woman I stuck up. I held the gun and one of the boys went through their pockets and the woman's hand bag. It netted us about 200 iron men and some jewelry.
 Leads to More
 That one seemed so easy that de- cided to go in for the thing in ear nest During the day folks thought I was a sweet young thing, and it thrilled me to think of leading a dou- ble life.
 Well, after we had been at it sev- eral months with the money coming easy and going the same way, Glen and both decided to put off the mar riage act for while till we got the lay of the land better. At times I was in dread of being captured. but he cops all are bunch of buns.
 With a few glad rags myself and the rest of the gang dressed in prop er cake-eating fashion, we were nev- er suspected.
