HOW TO SHAMPOO YOUR
HAIR, GIRLS
or, Long May She Wave

The prime requisite for a good
shampoo is hot water. Finding
that there is none, wait for a
kettleful to heat. This will add
zest to the performance later, as
one kettleful will be found in
adequate.
Wet the hair and massage Wig
orously with shampoo jelly, Bon
Ami, or whatever you prefer.
Let few lukewarm trickles of
soapy water run down the back of
the neck and along the chin, tax
ing. care also to rub plenty into
the eyes.
Try to find bath towel, falling
over the kettle, which you have
previously placed on the floor.
Rinse several times in cold water,
which you have forgotten is hard
and will not dissolve soap. Lemon
juice or vinegar in the rinse will
bring out the golden glints of girl
hood, and are also fine for the
eyes.
Dry over a warmish radiator or
in the sunlight, achieving gummy
mass, and break three teeth out of
the comb trying to reduce the dis
order.
Make an appointment with the
hair-dresser for shampoo.

BUREAU STARTS
SCHOOL PROBE

Investigation of alleged misman-
agement of the five-year public
school building program was begun
today by the Bureau of Efficiency,
which opened the inquiry assigning
an investigator to the office of
Albert L. Harris, municipal archi-
tect.
Bureau experts have been at
work for several weeks at the
Franklin School, headquarters of
the Board of Education and super.
intendent Of schools. The work
there, however, has been confined
largely to checking school atten.
dance statistics and similar records.
During the past winter the bu-
reau made preliminary study of
the Western High School contracts.
after members of the Gibson sub.
committee of the House District
Committee received information that
an item of $4,000 appropriated
for the building had not been ac.
counted for to their satisfaction.
Thorough Probe
At the request of the Gibson sub.
committee the entire building pro-
gram will be thoroughly inves.
tlgated with a view to determining
whether there has been waste,
whether the District in being over.
charged for school sites and con-
struction and whether the law is
being efficiently enforced.
Owing to vast quantity of new
information accumulated in the
traffic light investigation, during
the course of hearings last week,
bureau experts today were forced
to check some of the new material
against the former records Of the
investigation.
We have gone into this matter
thoroughly" declared Malcolm Ker.
I'm, bureau official in charge OF the
local Inquiries. There is still con.
siderable checking to be done
against the former records. Our
final report will be comprehensive. !"
1t is understood that the check
ing back is almost entirely due to
new evidence duplicating Traffic
Director M. o. Eldridge in the
transaction which led to suspension
OF his assistant, Col. /. C. Moller.
Eldridge testified under oath that
ne had no knowledge of violations
OF contracts or Justification of
vouchers. New testimony shows
that he signed letters directing that
terms of the contracts be disre-
garded.

subcommittee. is expected to return

subcommittee hearings are to be
held during the coming week or

40 CHANGES IN
TRAFFIC DUE

Forty changes in the traffic regu-
lations have been recommended to
the District Commissioners by
Traffic. Director NJ. o. Eldridge, who
is planning to get out a new book of
regulations governing Vehicular
traffic here.
Most of the proposed changes are
of a minor nature. The two most i'm
portant would legalize passing on
the right" and make uniform the
left-hand turn regulations for all
Controlled" intersections.
The new regulation for making a
left-hand turn would make the pro-
cedure for left-hand turns at inter-
sections controlled by crossing po-
licemen the same as at light-con-
trolled intersections. n
Instead of stopping next to the
policeman in the middle of the inter
section, the motorist would draw up
to the right side of the intersection
until traffic changed, and then pro-
coed.
Another proposed. change in the
regulation would forbid parking
within 20 feet of car stop sign. An
ether would require funeral process
sions to display illuminated head.
