Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

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.
Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo
(Which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than any
thing else you can use for sham
pooling. as this cannot possibly in
lure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub 1t in. Two or three
lteaspoonfuls will make an abun-
dance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
|oughly. The lather rinses out cas-
lily, and removes every particle of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excess oil.
THE hair dries quickly and evenly,
and 1t leaves it fine and silky,
bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to
manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo at any drug store. 1t
is inexpensive. and few ounces
will last everyone in the family

Drainage of Crank Case
Is Highly Important

Because of the accumulation of wa
ter In the crank case, frequent chang
Ing Of the engine oil is highly impor-
tant.
Water does not collect In the crank
case because of leaks in the water
jacket or through any occult means ;
1t is simply a product Of combustion
which works down past the piston
rings in the form of steam and con-
denses In the case. In some cars wa
ter actually drips from the muffier tall
piece, and in nearly all cars steam Is
visible in the exhaust on cold days,
but this is only a small part of the
water produced in the engine itself.
Samples taken In a series OF tests
showed as much al three pints Of wa
ter in a ~seven-quart crank case. Badly
worn parts result from the continued
use Of such a liquid. To avoid the ex-
pense or ref1nishing cylinder bores, re-
fitting pistons, rings and bearings, the
crank case oil should be changed at
no greater intervals than every 1000
miles, and preferably once in 800
miles.

CHRONIC TROUBLE
IN ALL MACHINES
Same Make and Model De-
velops Peculiar Ailments
When Not Given Care.

(By ERWIN GREER. President Greer
College of Automotive Engineering,
Chicago).
The sensible motor car owner is sat
isied IL his car gives a reasonable per-
Torrance. If the fan belt breaks he
puts on q new one. If a washer leaks
In the rea axle and the axle begins
to throw grease, he cleans out the
grease on the brake bands, puts In q
new washer and then tries driving
more in the center of the road. Driv-
Ing to the right-continually-tilts the
axle housing to the right and works
the grease out a lot sooner than 1t
would otherwise. And he doesn't
howl about it, realizing that 1t was
his own fault for driving to the ex-
IRENE right.
Chronic Trouble of Cars.
Every car has some sort of chronic
trouble. Even the same make and
model of car is capable Of developing
varied troubles. 1t is common to hear
a motorist say, "She always did that"
"Or that never did work properly"
And such comments are as readily
made about the $4,000 machine as the
5000 one. But the big reason why COM
plants are confined to a certain class
Of drivers is because the other class Of
driver knows that a car needs constant
attention, and gives 1t.
/ know q fellow who Is continually
bewailing the fact that one Of the ig-
milton wires was always dropping off
a spark plug. Instead Of inserting a
new fastener at the end Of the cable
he chose to sit back and yell about 1t.
Meanwhile the car runs on three or
four cylinders, depending upon how
ef%fectually he swears. The car Is me
chanically perfect outside of this small
defect and six cents would remedy
that. But to hear him talk you'd think
that the machine was a veritable
wreck.
Nothing Goes Wrong.
I invited this same chap to take a
ride in my car, which is an expensive
make. "This is the sort of car for
me! !" he exclaimed. as we glided down
Michigan boulevard. Nothing ever
goes wrong with this make of car"
But just then he beheld my chauffeur
acting exactly the same as he had
acted the day before. "Blast it," the
chauffeur exclaimed. "The horn Is out
Of order !"
There you are, folks. Half the auto
mohi1o drivnrs nrp to hla ma-not the
machines. Give your machine reason
able attention and care. And always
remember that the car owner who ap-
pears to have a regular car" Is the
fellow who, nine times out Of ten,
knows how to take care of it-or has
learned to be satisfied with what he
has.

Carburetor Adjustment
Is Need Of Automobile

Automobile wner who are having
trouble getting mileage out of their
gasoline consumption may find that by
having their carburetors adjusted
carefully increases In fuel economy
can be obtained.
This is the advice given by the AS
ISOLATED Advertising Clubs in a bull
letin issued by its vigilance commit
tee reporting investigation of claims
made for a carburetor advertised as
sure to save one-half to one-third on
fuel and t O Increase the power of any
motor from 80 to so per cent.
The bulletin states that tests made
by the United States bureau Of stand
ards was to the effect that the ex-
travagantly advertised carburetor
showed no marks Of superiority over
others, and that the government bu-
reau stated great numbers Of automo-
biles are being operated with a consid-
cradle excess of fuel under average
conditions, and careful REIMBURSEMENT
of the carburetors would in many
cases bring about worthwhile econo-
my. The government bureau also
pointed out that the apparent superb
ority Of some carburetors for which
overdrawn claims are made Is due to
the care with which they are adjusted.

Intelligent Braking
Will Save All Tires

When you consider that In
railroading the so-called fiat
wheel" Is produced by too sud
den braking, you will be able to
appreciate the effect which a
similar practice must have on
the rubber tires Of a motorcar.
The best method Of using the
brakes is that which applies
pressure on them so gradually
that the forward movement of
the car and the rotation of the
wheels are stopped at the same
time.
Nothing is more v on the
car than the spectacular stop
ping often INDUCED In by igno-
rant drivers In an effort to
SHOW off,"
The careful driver shuts his
power Off before he reaches the

brakes, to a halt at the exact
spot he desires.

There are a few per !. ent facts II,
connection with this water question
| wish to recite and which | trust yoUt
will take home with you, in addition
to those which / have already given
Here are several sound reasons 70;
voting bonds:
/. Fire hazards practically would
be eliminated.
2. Insurance rates would be great
ly reduced, at least 15 per cent in the
residential district.
g. The danger of water famine
would be eliminated.
4. The price which the railroad has
agreed to pay for large quantities OF
water for its use would guarantee the
town profitable investment.
5. A big saving would be made If
Flagstaff can get its non-taxable bond
issue through before congress dee
cides to make it impossible to issue
such bonds, as is now under consid-
GRAFTON.
6. The town would have, of ample
capacity, one of the best waterworks
projects in the country, and yet one
of the lowest in cost Of operation.
Z. A dependable water supply
would give an added impetus to in-
dustrial development in Flagstaff
s. Added advantages would be
given Flagstaff as a summer resort
and a most desirable stopping place
for tourists.
9. The cost of the project is rea-
sonable; and with the financial arg
rangement made through the rates to
be paid for water by the railroad, it
is made an entirely safe and sound
investment.
TO- The increased size of the pipe
line makes it possible to fill quickly
The large reservoirs when an abund4
4nce Of water is available from the
springs.
II. The proposed interest rates are
low and the bond market is excellent,
thereby insuring available funds al
5he lowest possible cost.
H. An ample supply of pure water
is the strongest kind of an induces
ment for securing a thoroughly mod
ern high class hotel or Harvey House.
13. Sufficient water would be OBJ
tained to allow for unrestricted use
on the lawns and gardens, and would
make further park Identification pos
sible.
IA. Encouragement would be given
home owners for modernizing homes
for bath tubs, lavatories, and other
domestic uses. 8
Is. Water, clear, pure and spark
ling, would be available for drinking
fountains, baths and swimming pools
16. An ample supply of pure water
is the biggest asset any community
can possess. 1t is the foundation of
all other community activities, the
backbone of industrial enterprise, and
cannot help but add to the future
growth and prosperity of Flagstaff.

new pipe line and new reservoir.
Some people say why not just build a
new reservoir. The answer is sim
ple-more water came from the
springs this year by double the
amount than was put into the reser-
voir. Why? Because the pipe line
was not large enough to carry it
down. Then some people will say
why not just build new pipe line
and use our present reservoir? The
answer is that even though we were
to fill our present reservoir the sup
ply would be inadequate for our needs
and we would have nothing to sell to
the Santa Fe at the handsome price
of 20 cents per thousand gallons, and
our fire protection would be affected.
We have had years when our reservoir
has been full at the beginning of the
dry season and we have had to cur
tail the use of water at its close just
as we are doing at this time.
1t is necessary to build the reser-
volr first in order to have storage,
then it is necessary to be able to fill
the reservoirs after we have them,
and then it is advisable to improve
the collecting system up at the
springs so that all the water which
flows can be turned into the pipe
lines and brought down to the reser-
voirS.
/ It's funny the angle some people
get on this question and if | may be
permitted to be facetious for a mo-
ment let me recite a little incident
that happened with one of our citi-
zens the other day who, when told
about the advisability of improving
the collecting system remarked that
in his judgment our collecting as it
was now lined up in the city hall
with Pulliam and Thompson. doing the
collecting was ample. There are peo-
pie IN this town, good citizens, who,
through lack of familiarity with con-
ditions are, if not opposing the sale
of the bonds outright, expressing
themselves as not favorable to it.
some even going so far as to intimate
that it is a scheme of the lumber COM
panies and the railway company to
| get more water at the expense of the
small taxpayer.
Permit me to quote from the rec
ords of the tax office, which records
are open to everyone of you if You
care to take the trouble to look them
ap. You will find that the additional
taxes which will have to be borne by
the citizens of Flagstaff to take care
of this bond issue and for the purpose
of acquiring our own waterworks vii
fall very largely on five Of the prin-
cipal concerns. To be exact 4712 per
cent, almost half of the total tax bur
den, will be paid by the following
concerns:
The Babbitt interests, Is per cent.
Arizona Central bank, IL per cent,
Arizona Lumber & Timber company
and allied interests, 10 per cent.
The railroad company itself will be
taxed to the extent of an additiona,
! Z per cent.
Tan Flagstaff Lumber company an
/ additional per cent.
