COCOANUT OIL FINE FOR WASHING HAIR If you want to keep your hair in good condition, the less soap you use the better. Most soaps and prepared sham poos contain too much alkali. This driea the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just common mulsifled cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely grease less), is much better than soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abun dance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thor oughly. The lather rinses out eas ily. and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly «nd evenly, and it leaves It fin*- and silky, bright, lustrous, MufTy and easy to manage. You can get mulsifled cocoanut oil (1- must be mulsifled, plain co coanut oil will not do) at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a f«w ounces is enogh to last every one In the family for months.

MAJOR BENT, FORMER i STEEL HEAD, IS DEAD [C<)ptinue ton National Bank and the Steelton j Trust Company. Mr. Bent was a member of the First; Unitarian Church of Philadelphia. In Philadelphia club life he was a promi nent figure, being connected with the Philadelphia. Art, Engineers. Corinth ian Yacht, Merion C>»cket and the Au tomobile clubs of that city. The Major was also an active mem ber of the Loyal Legion of Philadel phia. Surviving Major Bent are his widow, who was Miss Mary Stern Felton, of Philadelphia, and three sons. .Felton, Stedman and Quincy Bent. Man Who Maile Steolton In Steelton. Major Bent Is looked up on as the man, more than any other, perhaps, who made the town what It j is to-dsy. Among the old steel work ers his death is the only topic of con- I versation. When Major Bent was at the head of the Steelton plant, it was a different | sort of a corporation from what it is, to-day. The human element predomi- j nated. It was a frequent occurrence j for a laborer to walk into Ma.lor Bent's private office and tell "the Chief" not' only the story of his difficulties around j the plant but of his personal troubles' as well. And the Major always gave | the right advice, says the steel : workers. And the Major had a habit- ! .of over-ruling his department headts j frequently. Many men in Steelton. whose hairs j are now gray, will remember "the Ma- ; jor's Police Court," a tribunal of sum- : mary conviction that held sessions j every Monday morning In Major Bent's. office. Major "the Whole Shebang" "In those days," said an old resi dent this morning, "it wasn't necessary to have any police here—the Major was the whole 'shebang.' " Before this "court" every Monday j morning the Major would call the] week-end offenders against his unwrit- i ten code of rules. Serious offenders I would be dismissed from the plant and, ordered out of town. Those who mere- I ly "strayed," as the Major would put] it. were given a reprimand or short i suspension. A great institution was ' "Major Bent's court." In all civic activities of Steelton.! Major Bent took part. For a number] ' of years he was president of the school j board and did much to bring the Steel-1 ton schools up to their present stand- | ard. In honor of his activities in] school affairs the new grammar school on Hygienic Hill was named the Luth- j er S. Bent school. Although taking an active part in the borough manage ment he held no other elective office. As a tribute to Major Bent's work in Steelton, the little hamlet of New Benton, settled by steel company em ployes, was named in his honor. "Bent's Row" is another monument to the Major and it is estimated that some two score of children in the bor ougVi have been named after "the Ma jor." . .Many a Story of "the Major" Not only did the scores of the older businessmen, bankers, lawyers, mer chants. manufacturers, of both Steel ton and Harrisburg who had dealings! with Major L. S. Bent on a larger scale! during his years of service at the 1 Pennsylvania Steel Works recall many! a story illustrative of his character to- j day, but those who came in contact with the popular stefel company offi cial in a lesser capacity told their own stories, too. Among those who remembered some of the characteristic high-lights of Ma jor Bent's services at Steelton was Marlon Verbeke. one of the city's vet eran printers and for years chief clerk in the office of the city controller and in the office of the department of fi nance and accounts. Here are some of his stories that date back to 1883- 85 when Mr. Verbeke was a printer in the office of the Steelton Reporter: Remembered Fares Major Bent probably did not know everybody on the Steel Company pay roll by name but it Is pretty safe to say thai he could remember the faces of all the employes. So accurate was he in this respect that It wa« not un common for him to readily pick out a man In a crowd. For Instance, iu the t HXRRISBURG . early "eighties" payday was a day to | Jbe dreaded by the citizens as well as 11 he merchants of Steelton in a way. I The issue of the pay envelopes always I j means so much more drinking and j carousing. Now and then gangs of foreigners would congregate and start I a fight that would assume proportions •of a small riot. In these instances Ma jor Bent would prove conclusively how I well he could pick out a face. As soon as such a gathering would be spied by I the horough authorities, the Major I would be sent for. Fearlessly he would go among the crowd, pick out a man | here and there and simply say: "Smith you come over to the office Monday and get your time. The same to you, Jones." That ability of the Major to pick out a face eventually had much to do with breaking up theso little dis turbances. Helped Organize Fire Company While Major Bent always liked to keep out of the personal limelight as much as possible he figured conspicu ously in all the big movements fhat aimed at a better municipality. He was particularly interested in the or ganization of Steelton's first fire com pany, the Citizens. Mr. Verbeke, with a dozen or more men who were em- I ployed at the big works, started the movement to organize a fire fighting organization shortly after several dis astrous fires had occurred. Major Bent while refusing any office, permanent or honorary, was one of the chief boost- I ers and hacked the new company with (the steel firm's moral and financial j support. Within sixty days after the ! company was formed enough money had been subscribed to provide a fire I engine and 1,000 feet of hose. Within ' four months the company owned Its [own house. Major Bent point blank ! refused to accept any credit for his i splendid assistance. The best he would | permit the company to do by way of j appreciation was to let the members | name the steamer "S. M. Felton" af j ter his father-in-law. Hclpetl Postlcwaitc I'p ladder : The first step up the ladder of fame for E. T. Postlewaite, now high In the official councils of the Pennsylvania railroad was made, it is said, with the assistance of Major Bent. Mr. Postle waite was a member of a business firm In Harrisburg which failed and the partner entered the office of Major | Bent as a stenographer. While a big i official of the Pennsy was in eonfer ! ence with Mr. Bent one day, Postle ! waite, so the story runs, had nothing jto do at the time and casually "took i down" the two-hour conversation be jtween the two. When a little later, i the major learned of .this he was so 1 pleased that he promptly recommend ! Ed Postlewaite to the railroad official's ! service. % I Always Drove to Office While residing in Steelton Major | Bent lived on the heights overlooking I Second street, since occupied by the j steel company heads. At that tinje the lawn, known as "Bent's Lawn," ex tended all the way to Front street. In after years Second street was cut through it. Major Bent invariably drove to his office. Bernard Blakey, a negro who was old In the memory of many of Steelton's older residents of the present day, always served as Ma jor Bent's charioteen. Got Fun Out of Affliction The former head of the Steel plant was a trifle cripple, his one shoulder being deformed just enough to give It the appearance of a lump on his back. His affliction never bothered the ma jor however; he frequently got fun out of it. Here's a story they tell about i that. On one occasion Major Bent ! came upon a lot of young employes ' of the works were were fighting. They [of course had been drinking, and the steel company off\cial promptly or dered the offenders to "the office" for "their time" the following Monday. "As soon as I get over there, the I first thing I'll do 'll be to knock that :; lump off yer shoulder," snarled j them. i! "Good," replied the major prompt i ly, "that's what I've wanted done for i years. So don't wait 'till Monday. ; Come over to-day." When in Culm I Ahout the time of Major Bent's ac tivities at Steelton, the Pennsylvania •steel works had begun Its operations in ithe Cuban ore banks and he spent I niuch of his time there. While al-i ways anything but dudish In his dress, | . ! the major was invariably fastidious, i i! particularly as to the summer cloth-1 i! ing he wore to Cuba, in the dead of; II winter when snow was several Inches 1 deep, -Major Bent would frequently get j i 1 ready for hfs southern trip. And at > first his shopping tours—to buy linen suits and light summer shirts—invaria bly attracted attention. Against Booze The Major was always more or less opposed to the liquor traffic at least insofar as the granting- of licenses for Steelton hostelrles was concerned. In borough circles it is still contended that Bent, although a friend of the proprietor of the Strine House, oppos ed his application for a license so strenuously that it was five years be fore the sale of liquor at the West Side Hotel was allowed.
