Special to Tbe State Journal.

MASuN, Aug. 21. Tue outrages committed by drunken autoists in this locality are becoming more and more frequent of late. Sunday evening when Ralph Adams was driving west on the Columbia road, he was held up, and struck across the face and shoulders several times by a drunken autoist, who was angered because Mr. Adams had not turned out to let him pass quick enough to suit.

Mr. Adams was taking a young woman who had been a guest at the Adams home that evening, to her home west of Mason, about 9 p. mJ In the west part of town they passed an auto load of six men, most of them in their shirt sleeves, and apparently all Aery drunk. The men had stopped their machine on a coi ner, under an electric light, when they were passed by the Adams machine. A little later, out on the Columbia road, the same gang came up behind Mr.

Adams, and tooted their horn for him to allow them to pass. Just there the road was not in good condition, so Mr. Adams drove on a little farther before turning out. The gang passed on, but stopped their machine out by the Pink school house directly in the middle of the road. As Adams came near to them one of them, who' had stepped out of the machine motioned tor him to stop, which he did, thinking they wished to inquire the way, as this is a four corners.

The man, however, stepped up on the running board and leaned across over toward Mr. Adams, and without a word, struck him a blow on the jaw that made the blood spatter. He followed this up promptly with another, and then climbed into the. machine and began to strike at him again, all the time swearing he'd teach him to turn out when they tooted their horn. Adams was taken by surprise, and in behind the wheel, he had scarcely got roused and in position to strike back, when one of the fellows in the apparently not so far gone as the others, rushed over and hauled the assaulter away, telling him not to "bang" him up any more, "there's a lady in don' you see?" Adams then drove on to the home of the young woman, leaving his machine in the yard while he went in to wash off the blood, and telephone the officers.

At the jail, however, they stated that practically all the force were already out after drunken autoists and that there was no one to respond to his call. The young lady had taken the number of their machine, however, and officers are now at work on the case. Mr. Adams having sworn out a John Doe warrant for the offenders. Both he and the young woman claim that they could identify at least two of the gang.

Most soaps and prepared shampoo? contain too much alkali.

This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and jless), and is better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather.

which rinses out easily, removing every particle uf dust. dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the arr.lp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy, and easy to manage.
