' Declares in Address
J New York, Sept. 12.—"The Amer

Pershing, on account of your poten

Alkali in Shampoos
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 Mulsified '
cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure j
and entirely greaseless. It's very
I cheap and beats anything else all to
I pieces. You can get this at any drug
store, and a few ounces will last the
| whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
i and rub it In. about a teaspoonful is
i all that is required. It makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and Is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to han
dle. Besides. It loosens and takes out
every particle of dust, dirt and dand
ruff.

State Powers Will
Be Investigated
Machinery of the State govern
ment was ordered set to work by
Governor William C. Sproul to ascer
tain what powers the Common
wealth possesses to remedy a situa
tion wherein between six and seven
thousand dwellings are alleged to
be kept empty in Philadelphia for |
purposes of rent profiteering and to
investigate charges of collusion be
tweon speculators and some building
and loan associations. This action
was taken by the Governor after
hearing Isaac L. S. Smink, general
secretary of the United Tenants Pro
tective Association, and M. J. Con
way, chairman of the association's
lgeislative committee, both of whom
are heads of ward tenants' organiza
tions.
The two men made such startling
charges about the conditions in
Philadelphia that the Governor call
ed in Attorney General William I.
Schaffer and asked that he under
take an inquiry as to what powers
the State had in such eases and sent
work for Banking Commissioner
John S. Fisher to see as to his
authority in regard to the building
and loan associations. "What seems
to be a very serious situation was
presented to me and I have been
much impressed by what has been
said. We will see what powers we
have in the matter," said the Gov
ernor, who added that he thought
the subject was one which the Wel
fare Cojuniission could look into.
The tenants' representativs charged
that the profiteering landlord and
the speculator were subverting the
laws passed to protect property own
ers from bad tenants and were using
them for oppression. They charged
that over 6,000 houses are being
kept empty and that sale and rent
rates were being driven up through
the machinations of a lot of specula
tors who were also accused of hav
ing undue relations with building
and loan associations und able to
swing large blocks of properties,
many of which were kept idle. They
produced notices showing advance's
in rent from sl4 to S2B and one list
showing advance of IS a month
in 56 houses in the neighborhood of
Eighteenth and Itttner.

Allison Hill, Paying-Taxes on Nearly One-Third the Assessed
Valuation of All City Property, Demands Adequate
Representation in City Council
To the Voters of the City:
You will find herein some very interesting and important information for the Rent and Tax Pay
ers of Harrisburg. These figures show the increased assessment of the various wards of Harrisburg for
the year of 1919 in comparison with the year of 1918. The increase has been in one year from fifty-four (54)
million dollars in 1918, to sixty-two (62) million dollars in 1919, an increase of eight (8) million dollars.
This, in the opinion of the writer, is the largest increase of any tax period in the history of t he city.
The above figures are correct and beyond dispute, being an exact copy of the City Assessor's records.
A brief comparison of these increases in the various wards will show the unfairness of the assessment.
Particularly is this so in the Allison Hill section and in wards where people own their own homes or are
paying for them.
The Ninth Ward has always been unfortunate at the hands of the Assessors, both past and present.
Notwithstanding the great number of people in the Ninth Ward who are paying on their homes, they have
had their burden increased this year by an increase in their ward assessment of $1,388,211.00.
2nd Ward which also consists largely of home owners has had an increased assessment of
The Bth Ward is in a similar position, having a large number of home owners and their assess
ment having been increased by $565,000.00.
The. wards mentioned above are selected to show only the manifest unfairness of the city's assessment
Desiring to place the responsibility and to know the real reasons for this large increase in the assessed
valuation of the different wards, we naturally turn to the members of the City Council. They, as candi
dates for re-election, were unwilling or lacked courage to increase the millage rate. They therefore resorted
to the old political deception of obtaining revenue required, by increasing the valuation of private prop
erties, when an increase in the mill rate would apply equitably on all the people in every section of the city.
These conditions show clearly that the people of Allison Hill and other wards have been "asleep at
the switch" and the necessity of their getting together to secure proper representation for tHeir present
as well as their future interests.
The following figures show the increased Ward Assessment of the various Wards of Harrisburg
for the year of 1919. A careful study of these figures will show how the Allison Hill Wards and the other
"Home-Owner" Wards have been heavily burdened by a large increase in property assessment. The Allison
Hill Wards are designated by the letter "H."

MOUNTAINEERS
OF MONTENEGRO
SUPERSTITIOUS
Keep Their Windows Sealed
at Night to Keep Out
Evil Spirits
Paris, Sept. 12.—Inhabitants of the
mountains of Montenegro live in
ignorance of the most elementary
rules of hygiene and the strangest
superstitions concerning diseases
still flourish among them, says a
report of the mission of the Amer
ican Red Cross which has just re
turned from that country.
The mountaineers believed that
physical ailments were carried on
the wings of baleful breezes and
that contagious diseases were dis
tributed during dark nights by evil
spirits. Vhus they slept with their
windows hermetically sealed and tu
berculosis reigned supreme. The
peasants received the advices, sug
gestions and medicine of the Amer
ican Red Cross without enthusiasm.
One aged man suffering from a
chronic affection of lite throat in
sisted that it was caused by his
tongue being too small. He refused
to make use of the antiseptic g.irgle
supplied by the Red Cross until a
doctor told him it would make his
tongue grow. He was the most sur
prised Montenegrin in the world
when after a few days he was cured.
