cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair
Use Mulsified

II 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.
Mulsified4 cocoanut oil shampoo
(which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than anything
else you can use for shampooing,
Cd this cannot possibly injure the
hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. Two or three
tnaspoonfuIs will make an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out easily,
and removes every particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excess oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and
Il leaves it fine and silky, bright,
fluffy, wavy and easy to manage.

RULE ON TRADE

EXPECTED
U. s. Chamber, Stone and
Hoover to Confer Soon-Un-
certainty Hurting Business

A decision Of far reaching i'm.
portance, and Of considerable
political significance, relative to the
legal activities of trade associations,
is expected to result from the con-
ferences here Monday between
representatives of the United States
Chamber of Commerce, Attorney
General Stone and Secretary Of
Commerce Hoover, it was learned
today. Business men throughout
the country, through the chamber
of commerce, are endeavoring to
secure a definite ruling. from the
Department Of Justice, that will
clear up the uncertainty that has
existed in commercial circles
occasioned by the semi-officiaI rub
iEg of former Attorney General
Deugherty on trade associations.
The Daugherty decision, contained
in a letter to Secretary Hoover,
limited in an indefinite way. the
statistical functions of trade as
sociations. Certain practices were
said to be in conflict with the spirit
Of the Sherman antitrust law.
Officials said that the Sherman
law is not adequate to meet the
trade association problem. Legislas
ton oeIlnlteIN Qe1lnlng their IeRal
activities should be enacted, it was
said, as we'll as test case to go
to the United States Supreme Court.
A referendum was taken by the
chamber, OF commerce on all phases
of the question. This body will
point. out to Attorney General Stone
and Secretary Hoover that neces.
sity exists for trade associations;
that they should be unhampereh by
special forms Of government con-
troll and that they should be per-
mitted to collect statistics Of capa.
