Alkali Makes Soap Bad For Washing Hair Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is just plain xnulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole fam ily for months. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in about a teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abund ance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and Is soft, fresh looking, brignt, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff. Resorcs ATLANTIC CITY. N. J. HOTEL KINGSTON PKoof Ocean Ave.. Ist hotel (100 feet) from Beach.

LABOR DAY REGATTA TO BE FIRST "KIPONA" [Continued From First Page] llton, and according to Dr. Hamilton's interpretation it is a "North American Indian combination of words which means "on bright or sparkling waters." How to Say It "Na," according to Dr. Hamilton, is the Indian equivalent for "to be upon," "po" means "water," and "kl" means sparkling or bright." Arranged more euphoniously "Na-po-kl" is transposed to "Kl-po-na." Until you grow accustomed to It you'll probably try one of three or four pronuncia tions. However, the name is mighty easy to say: "Kl" is pronounced as "key," the second syllable Is "po," and the third is pronounced "nah." The accent is on the second syllable. Now, then, have you got it? The committee which recommended the name was headed by Thomas M. Kelker and serving with him were F. H. Murry, J. Allan Donaldson, E. M. Forney and Henry Nachman. Sug gestions were invited through the newspapers, and others were hunted up by individual solicitation and per sonal effort.

WAR GUNS ECHO IN COUNTY OFFICE All Three Witnesses to Signa ture of Will Are at the Front Lentz Learns The distant thunder of the war guns in a faraway Lost Province figurative ly echoed through the matter-of-fact flies and records of the office of Dau phin county's register of wills yester day when a bulky letter bearing the imperial double eagle reached Regis ter Banner's desk. The letter was from the register of the village of Dambach, district of Hagenau, Altace-Loraine, Germany one of the tiny villages, you remember, through which an imperial son of the Hohenzollerns hurried his armies not so many moons ago to hammer away at the ever-growing masses of cav alry across the border. This is the story: Nearly three years ago Katie Thom as, a German domestic, accumulated about $3,000 in personal savings and about $2,500 worth of real estate and decided to return to the "old country" to rest. On the very day that Ger many set the world a-rocking with a declaration of war against Russia, Ka tie was gathered to her fathers. She left a will, naming her step-mother as beneficiary. The property, how ever, was in America, and most of it in Dauphin county, and the letters of administration necessarily had to issue fromthe local registrar's office. The Harrlsburg company, by the way, was named for the Job. George Schaefer. George M. Gasser and M. Wagner, ail friends of Katie in the village of Dambach, witnessed her signature. Register Danner had to send the papers across a blocked ocean, through the warring country of Germany and on down into Alsace- Loraine to be identified. "If living have witnesses identify signature and prove It," were the instructions to the deputy registrar. Whether or not any or all of the three are living, however, vas very simply disposed of by Ger man officialdom in these half dozen words: "They are off to the war!"
