Jewelers' Magazine Has
Account of Harrisburg
Jeweler and His Store
Harrisburg occupies a prominent
place in the current fiftieth anniver
sary number of the "Jewelers' Cir
cular Weekly," of New York, issued
in recognition of the fiftieth anni-,
ve'rsary of the "The American Horo-!
logical Journal." founded in 1569,
and merged'with the "Jewelers' Cir
cular" in November, 1573.
The present publication is the
leading organ of the trade. The aim
of this issue was the chronicling of
the jewlers throughout the United
States who have been in active busi
ness more than lifty years. Two
pages are devoted to the stores of
Francis E. Commings, 14 North
Fourth street: C. Ross Boas. 28
North Second street. and Jacob
Tausig's Sons. 420 Market street-,
There is also an interview with Wil- I
liam P. Denehey, who retired from
active business in 1919, and who en
joys the distinction of being the
oldest living jeweler engaged in
business at one location. His old
place at 206 Market street is now
conducted by the P. H. Caplan. Be
sides cuts of Messrs. Commings and
Denehey, the issue contains cuts of
the store front of the Boas estab
lishment and of the Denehey store
as it looked in its early days.
Mr. Denehey tells how business
was conducted in those days. "The
interiors of the stores were plain
and there was not the same large
variety of wares to select from.
Business hours were much longer
and as a clerk T sold watches to re
luming Civil War veterans as late
as midnight. As an apprentice 1 was
required to put up at night
and take down in the morning
from the display front no less than
thirty-two metal shutters, jewelers
of those days not having the protec
tion of burglar insurance."

Senator Jones, of Washington, pre-i :
senteii a petition signed by the ]
"minute men" of the American Pro-|
tective League of his Slate, embrac
ing more than 1800 signatures. Ii
They urge the deportation of those j
aliens who have taken out their first | i
papers, but who when the war came ;
on in order to escape military serv- j 1
ice denounced tlieir declaration," L
said Senator Jones. "They particu-l
larly call attention to the fact that!
out of 205 persons who renounced
their citizenship, fifty-four, or nearly j
27 per cent., had I. W. W. cards in
their pockets.
"There is a very strong sentiment
in the State of Washington for the
deportation of theSe people. They
are not considered desirable citizens .
from'any standpoint." *
Senator King interrupted to say
(lie Department of Labor had taken
| the matter up. and that as soon as'
• shipping accommodations could he!
j made "some of these alien anar-
I ehists and Bolshevists who are seek
j ing the destruction of our govern-
I input will be deported."
Senator Penrose asked if the coun
• tries from which tjie objectionable
I aliens came would be willing to take
them back.
"It occurs to me that we might
| ship them home and their own.
I countries refuse to accept them,"
I said Senator Penrose. "Perhaps.they
j could not be landed from the ves-
I sels."
' Senator King thought that under
the alien law passed last October'
] there would he no difficulty in de- j
I porting undesirables,
j "1 can see bow the anarchists'
| might pass their lives going from!
. one shore to another," commented I
i Senator Penrose.
Senator Jones said the State De
partment took a different view from!
that of the Department of Rabor. It
had once received a protest from
one government against the deporta
tion of its nationals rn this country,
"ft seems that this government
] does not want them returned," said
I Senator Jones. "So it protested
I against our taking any action. 11
! think, thought, that we ought to]
| find the way to get these people outL
lof the country. I do nH care where)
I they go, so long as they get out of
here."
"Where would-they go?" demanded j
Senator Penrose.
"Maybe to the North Pole," sag-1
gested Senator Penrose.
Senator Jones insisted (hat they]
be deported, no matter where they!
went.

Alkali in Soap
Bad For the Hair
i !
Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair look
ing its best. Most soaps and prepar
ed shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing loY steady use is
Just ordinary mulsided cocoanut oil
(which ia pure and greaseless), and is
better than the most expensive soap
or anything'else you can use
One or , two teaspoontuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
ly Simplv moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. It makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
I every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
auickly and evenly, and it leaves the
scalp soft, and the hair line and
I silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and
