Widen Crossing.
John NJ. Campbesf was present
representing the Shcre Fast Line
Mr.. Campbell submitted a map
showing the property lines of the
Shore Fast at Mortified Avenue
and Zion road, which shows that
some of the land now being used
by the railroad for shrubbery, they
have no jurisdiction over. He said
that Mr.. Purinton, Superintendent
of the road, was willing to ask the
West Jersey and Seashore r. r.
to widen the crossing here, to in
clude the Mortified Avenue cross
ing which Council has requested.
Mr. Campbell thought it might be
necessary for the city to acquire a
small strip of land to do this. The
map was turned over to the road
committee.
Councilman Albert Barkoff asked
if the Shore Fast could be induced
to place signal lights at Mill road
crossing. This is especially hazar-
dous on foggy nights as the prox-
unity of buildings; shrubbery and
cars on siding make it impossible
to see the lights of oncoming cars.
Mr.. Campbell promised to call this
to the attention Of Mr.. Purinton.
Charles Fenton raised the ques-
ton of the dangerous crossing at
Zion and Tilton road. He said:
I'm scared to death every time
come to it. There. should be some
danger signal there for strangers
are not aware of the danger and
approach it pretty fast" The road
committee said the matter had been
previously taken UP, but as it was
a county road they could only call
the attention of the Freeholders to
it.
City Clerk George H. Muller re-
ported the receipt of letter from
+. w. Willetts, clerk of the Board
of Freeholders. stating that the
condition of Shore Road near Re
we're avenue. following storms had
been referred to the county engin-
Ger and the county supervisor of
roads. =
A resolution was offered by Har-
~ Turner authorizing the advertis-
ing of $4,000 of school bonds to be

.ROCKNE AGAINST CHANGING SHIFT
N0tre Dame Coach Thinks Foot.
 ball Is at the Crossroads

i New York, Feb. 2 Pl-Knute K.
 Rockne. Notre Dame coach, thinks football is at the cross roads. He told Notre Dame alumni last night that the agitation against the shift, | in his opinion, menaces the color If
 not actually the life of the present. day game.
 There are shifts and shifts" he
 said, however it is simple. Either a team stops O. it does not. The question of momentum or lack of il
 can easily be decided. It is not a
 question of time. As in seconds, it
 may be only half second. I think with proper rhythm a team can cease it's momentum with a halt of , half a second.
 ''The shift has done much for of- fensive football. It has made the
 game colorful and a more pleasant ! spectacle. I see in the movement
 for abolition of the shift a tendency
 to revert to the old rock 'em and sock 'em game with both teams playing a defensive game and cry 1 Ing come on lulllDle, SO we Can win this game.'
 If the shift is to be made what 1 it is represente /. smooth work
 ing piece of machinery designed on-
 ly for deception, it might be accom-
 plished by penalty of say IS yards.
 Clipping from behind has been stopped because a player knows If
 he is detected clipping from be- hind his team will be penalized 25
 yards and a 25 yard penalty is likely i to be fatal. If Is yard penalty should be imposed on illegal shifts, I am convinced that the sloppy and
 ragged shift will be effectually curbed."
 Rockne who ha, recently returned from a visit tc Hawaii paid tribute to Honolulu as a city filled with football enthusiasm and boasting of teams who play real football with out the elaborate equipment in vogue in the United States. The Notre Dame coach will present to his faculty an invitation from the University of Hawaii for a game with Notre Dame at Honolulu during the Christmas holidays.

 Proper shampooing makes the hair soft and silky. It brings out all the real life and lustre, all the natural wave and color, and leaves it fresh looking, glossy and bright
 While your hair must have ire quent and regular washing to keep it beautiful it cannot stand the harsh effect of ordinary soaps The free alkali in ordinary soaps soon dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle and ruins it.
 That is why discriminating wom- en, everywhere, now use Mulsified Cocoanut Oil Shampoo. This clear, pure and entirely greaseless product brings out all the real beauty of the hair and cannot possibly in- jure.
 Two or three teaspoonfuls Is all that Is required. It makes an abundance of rich. creamy lather which cleanses thoroughly and rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff.
 It leaves the hair soft and easy to manage and makes 1t fairly sparkle with new life, gloss and lustre.
 You can get Mulsifled Cocoanut oil Shampoo at any drug store.
