DeVoe Has Tax Bills

NEW BRUNSWICK, Feb. l.
Assemblyman Fred w. De Voc, Of
this city, is now working on two
tax bills which he will present to
the conference committee of the
assembly Monday night as a means
of offering relief in the present
high tax situation.
The first bill now being prepared
by Assemblynan DeVoe would limit
the budget making of any county or
municipality so as not to permit
the total to exceed the 1921 appro-
priation. The local assemblyman
believes that the expenses in 1921
were as high as they should be at
any time and that no future bud
gets should be greater than tn 8
amount.
In his second bill, Assemblyman
De Voc would fix the appropriations
under a sliding scale in compar;-
son to the valuation of the prop
erty in that particular county or
municipality. Mr.. De Voc has not
completely worked out this bill as
lyet, but he plans to make the Valua-
tion upon which the debt limit as
to be figured, the average valuation
OF the years 1920, 1921 and 1922.
At the present time municipalities
can bond to nine per cent of the
valuations and the county to four
per cent.

SIGN ARTICLES
For Control of DardeneIIes
and Bosphorus, Lausanne
Report Says Today

LAUSANNE, Feb. 1.-(By The
Associated Press 1.-The Russian del
egation at the near east conference
announced officially at the meeting
of the straits commission today that
Russia would not sign the conven-
tion providing for control of the Dar-
denelles and the Bosphorus.
The convention, declared M. Tchit-
cherin, menaced the security of Rus
sia, the Ukraine and Georgia, inn
posed naval armament on Russia,
and violated the treaties of Moscow
and Kars between Russia and Tur-
key. The proposal showed the inn
potency of the conference to make
peace. Russia had her hands free
and henceforth would maintain COM
plete liberty of action.
Even though the convention was
signed by the others, for Russia the
question remained open.
Marquis Curzon said he had al.
ways held that the adherence OF
Russia was necessary to g permanent
and satisfactory solution OF the
Straits problem. and hoped that Rus
sia would sign later.

Mellon Calls for Meeting of
American Funding Commits
sion to Plan Legislation

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Seere-
tary Mellon, chairman of the Ameri-
can debt funding commission today
called meeting of the commission
for late in the afternoon to make
plans for presenting to congress the
American-British agreement accept
ed in London yesterday.
The call for the meeting followed
official notification of the state de-
partment by the British embassy
that the British cabinet had acted
favorably on the American funding
plan.
Plans for presenting the neces-
sary legislation to congress as soon
as possible were discussed during
the day at a conference between
President Harding and Senators
Lodge Of Massachusetts, and Wat
son Of Indiana, two of the admin
istration senate leaders.
The President was said by Sena-
tor Lodge to consider acceptance
Of the settlement plan at this ses-
sion of congress as of prime i'm
portance.
Later Representative Burton also
talked over the situation with the
president.
More details of the British action
are expected through diplomatic
channels during the day and upon
the completeness of these advices
will depend how far the American
commission can go at today's meet,
! ing in outlining its next move.
4 Some reports received in govern
| ment circles indicated. it was said
that the British acceptance which
was reported to Ambassador Harve,
as Sin principle" was on a bash
which would not materially change
even minor details of the plan, a.
suggested by the American commits
sion. Lacking final information or
this point, however, debt commission
officials declined tc indicate the
amount of payments which the Y
lper cent amortization payment
would bring to the United States an.
nually in the retirement of the Brit.
.sh obligations.
Various estimates of the annua
payments ranged from $135, 5,OO0,00C
to more than s20O,000,000. The in.
terest rate of 3 per cent, effective fol
the first ten years, would on its face
mean a payment of about $135, ,000,.
900 a year, but other phases of the
program may operate to change this
amount.
One of the first questions before
the commission is a decision whethe,
to ask for a general amendment Of
the present law to encompass the
British settlement or to rely instead
upon acceptance of the British
terms specifically by a resolution o.
congress.

Careless Shampooing
 Spoils the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best Many soaps and prepared shsmpoos contain too much free al- kali. 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 iisc.
 Two or three tesspoonfuls of Mulsi- fled in a cup or glass with q little warm water is sufficient to cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Sim ply moistcn the hair with wster and rub the Mulsified in. It makes an abundance of rich creamy lather which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excess oil. The hair dries quick ly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can get Mulsitied cocoanut oil shampoo at any pharmacy. it is very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months. Be sure your druggist gives you Mulsified.
