Mex Obtains
Leniency as
Interpreter

Kid Mex's ability to speak Eng
lish saved him thirty days in Jail
when he was arraigned before
Judge John A. Murray last night
Mex was implicated with Eddie st.
Clair and Jack Pencelton. Both
Mex and st. Clair are local fight
tiers.
Judge Murray first assessed Kid
Mex a s25 and sentenced him to 30
days in jail. When City Attorney
r. N. Ogden suggested that the sem
tence ought to be made lem
lent since the city could use Mex's
abilities to great advantage as an
interpreter the thirty-day sentences
WINS set aside.
Jack Pendleton was fined $50 for
being drunk and driving n car
while in that condition. Eddie St
Clair who with the Mexican was in
the car driven by Pendleton was
fined SIS for drunkenness.

Edwin Carewe has brought to THE
Girl of the Golden West such stars
as j. Warren Kerrigan. Sylvia
Bremen, Russell Simpson. Rose Mary
Theby and many others.
As a rule, western dramas, espe-
cially those which depict life of the
gold rush days, are over-crowded
with cheap. meaningless melodrama
which leaves no impression upon the
mind and does not really entertain.
In The Girl of the Golden West -
however. Director Carewe has, as he
did in Mighty LAX a Rose
brought in the strong. human
touches and developed the odd rom
ance of the famous Belasco stage
triumph in a way that holds ones
undivided attention from the first
title to the last flash.
First of all. The Girl OF the

boys, no Indians. no running gun

Be Careful What You Wash Your Hair With

IF you want to keep your hair In
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Many soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much free alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and is very harmful. Mulsifed
oil shampoo (which is pure
and entirely greaseless), is much bet
ter than anything else you can use for
shampooing, as this cannot possibly
injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. Two or three teaspoon
fuls will make an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, and cleanse The hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses
out easily, and removes every particle
of dust, dirt, dandruf and excess oil.
The hair dries quickly and evenly, and
il leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy,
wavy, and easy to manage. You can
