Innings for Summer Gowns.
from the New York Evening Post.)

(trQm the New YORK Evening POSt.)
When French lawns, organdies and sheer
and beautifully patterned lawns can be
travagance to line them with silk at nearly
three times the cost of the dress fabric OF
course if one can afford it there is no lining
that makes dress look and feel and hang
quite as well as silk enc, and there are
many women who would greatly prefer one
than expend their money on six transparent
gowns and then be obliged to use cotton
lining for each dress. A very economical
plan is to utilize the silk linicgs OF hand.
some gowns that have had their day for the
foundation skirts and low bodice Innings of
for summer. For those, however, who wish
fresh toilets entire, but not silk lined, there
are now shown number of textiles exactly
suited for inexpensive Innings for inexpen-
sive dresses. among these are beautifully
tinted dimities with a fine cord and lus-
trous surface, moired sateen, satin finished
silesia, a fast black cotton surah, and a very
good substitute for taffeta silk, which is so
soft and glossy in it's effect that the manu-
facurers claim that it will this season rival
real taffeta for lining summer gowns. The
weave and finish is such that it has the
gentle rnstle of the best taffeta silk, and
not the unpleasant rustic of inferior grades.
The prices for these Innings vary from %
cents to 81 cents yard.

CARE OF THE BABY's HAIR.
The Head Must Be Washed Daily--A Ger
tain Mixture to Use.
New York Journal. J

New York journal
Many mothers think that the heads of in
fants. whether covered early by thick
growth of hair OF a fine, almost invisible
down, need little washing. Consequently a
thick coating, as white as the scalp at first,
but gradually darkening with age until of
an ugly brown color, covers the scalp.
Through this growth the hair must force
itself if it grows at all, and often the weak
little hi rsute arrangement becomes dis
couraged and sends out only few stray
Cling hairs where q thick, short down
should appear.
To encourage a healthy growth the in
fant's head should be washed daily just as
the body is by lathering gently with CASTLE
soap and rinsing in warm water. This
keeps the head clean and free from the pc
cul1ar growth. If, however. it has made its
appearance, very gentle, but decided means
should be employed to eradicate it.
MIX together teaspoonful of borax, pow
dered, and tablespoonful OF white vase
line, and with the mixture and the finger
ends rub gently but thoroughly the head.
Let 1t stand half an hour or less and then
wash with plenty of CASTLE soap and warm
water. Ii all the scurf is not removed by
the hrst application, renew it next morning
until the head is perfectly Clean When
chlldren's hair is unruly, lacking life and
gloss this treatment will be beneficial also.
Rub the mixture in thoroughly and then
wash out, brushing the hair thoroughly when
dry. ever use wet brush on the child
ren's heads to kesp them in order rather
brush them and wash them until they be-
come silken and pliable, remaining as ar
ranged by the natural life and oil of the
hair.
Never use oils or dressing on a child's hair,
Perfect cleanliness is more to be desired
than the sickness oil imparts Moreover
head well creased will catch and hold dust
that settles upon the scalp, injuring the
growth and vigor of the hair materially.
Clipping the ends of the hair when they
have become frayed and split stimulates
II ew life and causes the hair to thicken,
which with perfect cleanliness and persist
ent brushing will soon repay in silken luxu-
rance the care bestowed.

Concord, N. H., April 2S.-The bien-
NAL report of the state bureau of labor
was made public tonight. 1t devoted
a long chapter to the shoe industry and
shows that there are "a establishments
inNew Hampshire engaged in the panu-
faoture of shoes. paying for wages 81. 400, :
9lS annually; giving employment to
S,096 people. The cost Of the material
useh Is IS. 749, 1923; annual product, s11,-
$50, U0S; an increase during the decade of
ISL per cent; in mum Der of establish
msnts of employees, 1904 per cent; in
amount in paid wages, 1877 per cent;
in material used, go A. and in value of
production, 20. 81 per cent. The report
Says in regard to wage earners to this
industry: Of 1895 Who responded to in
ouirleH from the bureau, "a report an
increase in wages and 173 report a re-
duction iu wages, and 759 Tor 42.2 per
cent Of the total number) reported hav-
ing saved portion of wages earned; and
1Oe report no savings whatever. BY
this showing it is shown that So per
cent of all reporting to the bureau ack-
nowledge living SO extravagantIy as to
expend all their wages, and some OF them
Mead guilty to living beyond their full
income from all sources; in short, the
reports of living expenses of shoe work
ara received by the comm issiouer Of labor
indicate that perhaps much of the feel
ing OF unresG ana consequent dissatis-
faction which leads to surlkes and other
labor troubles may be due to this style
of living whloh makes ones expenses
exceed wages earned.

SUNDAY CLOSING.
Down In Rockland They Shut Up the
iDrug Stores and Sell Newspapers.

The strict enforcement of the Sunday clo-
sing law went into effect in Rockland Sum
day, and Main street was very quiet thor
oughfare indeed. The two lunch carts
which have victualers lie enses, were open in
the evening, and Huston s news stand was
open for a brief while after the arrival of
the Sunday papers, but these were all that
did open through the entire day, excepting
one drug store.
81 had an experience with the enforcement
of the Sunday closing law, remarked a To-
cal physician to the Courier Gazette was
called Sunday in case that required imme-
diately certain medicine for the relief ,of
pain. 1 drove down street and made the
rounds of the drug stores, but finding the
doors closed, L met druggist on the street
and told him what wanted.
60 Il can't let you have it, he replied. IF
open my store l shall be fined by the au-
thorities.'
"Aiter some expostulations drove along
and found another druggist, who also an
swered me with shake of the head.
"'Can't do it, he said in reply to my
urgency. 'Pve been warned not to sell
goods on Sunday
'But finally in answer to my pleading he
said if would bring an order from the May
or he would sell me the medicine drove
to the Mayors house, but he was not at
home. Then 1 remembered another patient
at whose house had left some of the same
drug week before, and driving there l
borrowed some of 1t and returned after two
hours to my patient, who all this time had
lain suffering.
81 don't think much of that kind of Sun
day closing law concluded the physician.
"What do you think of it?''
In its editorial column, the Courier Ga
zette answers the doctors question as fol-
lows
"We do not think either the letter or
spirit of the statute would be violated by the
opening OF drug stores on Sunday for the
sale of medicines. 1t would come as clearly
under the designation OLA work of neces-
sity as the visits of the physician to the
| this action OF the municipal officers any pllr-
pose of malicious persecution or the evival

| certain elasticity in the statute is evident
| by their permitting u news stand to keen

| Boston Sunday papers, as to whose right to
II CURE as work of necessity there mi lit
1alrly be raised question. 1t is not against

| OF medicines that the statue was framed, but
| against the indiscriminate carving on of
secular pursuits contrary to the well being
