POWER RATES CHARGED CITY TO BEPROBED Old Merchants Heat & Light Co.'s Contracts to Be Scrutinized. Thorough ii vestigation of the city’s contract with the Merchants Heat and Light Company, now the Indianapolis Po’. er and Light Company. was ordered today by the board of works. The investigation is in line with the board s policy of sifting all contracts in which the city is interested, with a view to possible improvement whereby the city would save money, T. H. Dammeyer. president, declared. in announcing the inquiry. M. J. Johnston, assistant city engineer, has been instructed to make a study of the contract and file a report of his findings with the board. It is expected Johnston’s report will be presented to the board at its next meeting, Friday. "If the city is entitled to better rates, we want them,” Dammeyer said. "Those called for in the con* tract were regulated by freight rates, the price of of other commodities. If these prices have gone down, the power rates should be lowered.” The contract was entered into in April, 1925, by the former board of works, of which Charles E. Coffin, W. H. Freeman and M. H. Spencer were members. As the first of a series of investigation into city contracts, the result of the power probe will be watched eagerly by board members and other city officials. It is believed a. large saving for city will be made by the investigations, which haye been planned for some time by the board. Emsley W. Johnson and John C. McClosky, board members, expressed themselves heartily in favor of the move and are optimistic about the possibility of tangle results in cutting rates on several utilities.

Personality!

When Ziegfeld selects them, you 'can be sure they have personality. This lovely New York girl, now appearing in “Rio Rita,” has talent—and beauty, too—enhanced by wonderful skin and the softest waves of dark brown hail’. % “When friends ask me what I do to make my hair so soft and gleamy,"* says Miss Hargrave. “I have to think twice to tell them, because I give so little time to it. The method I use is very popular among New York girls. I just put a little Danderine on my brush each time I use it. I am letting my hair grow; but you'd never know it, Danderine keeps it so soft and easy to arrange and holds it in place so wonderfully. It gives my hair such a silky, soft and lustrous appearance. friends are always commentig on it. There isn't a trace of dandruff left now that I'm using Danderine regularly. And it keeps my hair and scalp so clean and comfortable that I don't shampoo half as often as I used to.” Danderine quickly removes, that oily film from your hair, brings out its natural color, gives it more lustre than brilliantine. It makes the hair easy to dress; keeps it in place. It usually checks dandruff. It isn’t oily: doesn’t show. All drug stores have the generous 35c bottles. A delicately' fragranced necessity for the well-groomed girl!—Advertisement
