Dust Threatens Destruction to
Croscns of Glory.

The women who motor drive. ride. walk
or take any form of outdoor exercise dur
ing the warm summer months are fore
most among the many that complain bit
terly later OF that for some unknown rea-
their hair is falling out. They are
also the last to awake to the fact that
thorough brushing after each outing VIII
do much toward keeping their treasured
locks in good condition. Dust is the cause
of most of their tribulation. for the dust
of the present day Is not the harmless
dust of the oldtime country roads. 1t Is
laden with oil and filth from roads travelled
by hundreds of automobiles. and comes In
thick clouds instead of thinly as from a
carriage. In order to see just how much
dust can accumulate In the hair in a
day out of doors, take perfectly clean
brush, and after few strokes, rub the
brush well with a Turkish towel; each
place where the fingers hold the towel will
be defined by black smudges. and by the
time >the head has been entirely brushed.
the towel will be streaked with CRIME from
end to end. The harm to the hair with
this sticky dust forming a veritable paste
at the roots can be imagined. And il Is
not only the pedestrian who is treated to
these dust baths. The fair motorists who
SO for short run in the evening after
dinner to cool on and who for some
| reason never put on the protecting wells
that they wear In daytime. quite forget
| ting evidently that dust flies quite as
thickly at night from the other motors
passing, although fewer cars are out. SUI
Ter just as much, and as hair cannot be
washed too often, the dust question is
even more serious than it appears to be
at first for daily brushings, however
| thorough, are not sufficient to keep it

one without any greasy properties, for that
would mean a foundation for the next
batch OF dust to adhere to. After the
tonic is on, the hair should again dry out

Dark hair, as it does not show the effects
