SUN BATHS AND FRESH AIR
ARE GOOD FOR THE SCALP

The care Of the hair is always a sub
ject of interest to women, and in these
days when so much false hair is worn
the woman's own tresses require extra
attention lest they grow sparse and thin
from the overheating of the head by
the weight Of rats and puffs.
Sun baths and the fresh air treatment
of gently massaging the scalp with the
fingers, by an open window, where the
wind may penetrate to the roots Of the
hair, are all good for the locks. as well
as regular shampoos.
If little tonic is needed for the head.
however, the wise woman will purchase
one Of the new tonic sprayers, which
cost a dollar. and may be purchased now
in most first-class shops.
They consist Of a short comb with hol-
low teeth, and bulb at the top. A small
medicine glass which comes with them

measures the amount Of hair tonic used
and this is then drawn into the bulb
and sprayed into the roots of the hair
while gently combing it.
The result Is far better than that
achieved by rubbing the tonic in with the
fingers, and. what is more. gets the
liquid down to the roots in all parts of
the scalp.
Electric brushes are now also shown
for the hair, while dry shampoo pow

rubbed into the scalp form a fine, cleans
ing lather and then evaporate in a few
minutes, and after the hair is brushed
it is as clean and glossy as after a
regular wet shampoo.
The question as to how often the hair
should be washed must be determined
by circumstances. The girl whose hair
is dry and brittle should not wash hers
as often as the girl whose hair Is in
clined to be oily.

Time Something Is Done.

To the Editor o. the Evening Star:
Attention has been called repeatedly
to the overcrowded City Hospital, and
it is time that something be done
about it. The STAR has given the
matter plenty of publicity in the past,
but l think the Board of Health COM
m~issioners might be given a gentle re-
minder that the public is not as for
getful as the commissioners appear to
be. Queries to the board bring the
answer that the Legislature last win
ter passed a bill empowering the
finance committee of the Newark Com
mon Council to issue bonds for the
purpose of enlarging the hospital, but
when it came to Governor Wilson for
his approval and signature he vetoed it.
While this action appears to be one
of the many samples of poor judgment
displayed by the chief executive it is no
reason for the local authorities to drop
the matter. The Common Council ap-
pears to nave enough ready cash to
supply committees with neat sums for
travelling expenses to attend conven-
tons in other States. Several other
enterprises which appear to be far less
important, from our point of view,
than the enlargement of the City Hos
pital, receive the hearty cooperation of
the Common Council and its finance
committee. .
The urgent need for the Improvement
in the available space at the institution
and the foolishness in waiting too long
does not need any further e~mphasiz-
ing. e. NJ. p.

cTa HE New Jersey State Bar Association. at its annual meeting,
appointed a committee to investigate and report a plan to
improve the procedure in the administration of justice in
this State. The committee will meet at Trenton tomorrow. There
is much room for improvement, as every lawyer knows, and the
step taken by the State bar was too long delayed. 1t is needless to
say that the reform should be as thorough as the committee can
devise, and the reform should favor the public. Following this
action the State Bar Association should at it's next annual meeting
appoint a committee of its best qualified members to draft amend
ments to article VI. of the State Constitution relating to the
Judiciary of a character that the people will accept.

TAFT'S OPPONENTS ACTIVE.

IT N Chicago on Monday the antiTaft Republicans, to the number
of several hundred, will meet to consider the party situation.
Senator Cummins, of Iowa, gave out an emphatic statement
this week to the effect that Mr.. Taft could not be renominated; that
his principal supporters would soon realize that his candidacy
would involve a great party defeat, and they would have to take up
some other candidate. Progressive Republican leaders agree with
Senator Cummins, but they relax none of their efforts to knock out
the Taft candidacy. They propose to start a national organ in
Chicago, to appear next month, and to be financed with $4,000, 900,
the paper to be used as an anti-Taft weapon in the Middle West.
But there is a fly in the Progressive Republican ointment. The
leaders IRE not agreed upon a candidate to oppose Mr.. Taft. Sena
tor La Toilette is an avowed candidate, but he represents a senti
ment that does not appeal at least to Eastern Republican pro
gressives, and he is not the man that the progressive vote in the
national convention would unite upon. ,4p

STATE ELECTIONS THIS YEAR.

1Ta HERE will be State elections in nearly all States, but only five
States will elect governors. The most important guberna-
torial election will take place in Massachusetts, where Gov
ernor Foss. Democrat, is running on a tariff revision platform, his
Republican opponent being Il stand patter. If Massachusetts shall
reflect Governor Foss the result will have a marked effect in Wash
ington next winter in tariff legislation. The Republican candidate
stands upon President Tafts yetoes of tariff legislation, and his
defeat will be a rebuke to Mr.. Taft by one of the strongest of the
Republican States. Per contra, should Governor Foss meet with
defeat the result will be hailed as an indubitable sign of a popular
reaction. II may decide the fate of tariff legislation next winter:

A Prayer Before Dawn.

Beyond the boundaries of night,
The first pink morning ecstacy
AS darkness turns to light.
And as the adoring sun shall rise
Sure and serene to It's high goal,
So may my hope flames up blue skies
A pathway for my Soul.
And as a bird whose anthem breaks
Across the dawn on eager wing,
May my heart be a voice that wakes
From night to soar and sing.
May no man look upon my face
And fail to find a glory there,
That lightens up with fragrant grace
The n of despair.
May no man walk a little way
Beside me through the dust and heal
And fail to find the common day
A human thing and sweet.
And when the twilight hour is here
Still may its deepening shadows be
All golden with human cheer
The glad day brought to me.

THE BOARD OF WORKS WAY.

G1o HERE has been abundant time since the repaving of i}road
and Market streets was decided upon for the Board of Works
engineers to ascertain all the conditions of the two streets
and to provide for them in the anticipation of the paving work, but
it is left to this late day, when the work is contracted for and
was about TO be begun, to find out that certain difficulties had II be
overcome. There are sewerage problems to be worked out. Many
buildings have no sewer connections, and distractions exist under
the street that must be removed. Hence street paving has been
indefinitely postponed, after having been delayed for an unconscion-
able period, during which the two streets have been neglected to a
point of diapidation. From the official point of view this may be
ordinary public business. From any other point of view it is mex
cnsable neglect.

1Ta HE electrical trust, by it's surrender to the government prose
cution, confesses that it is a bad trust within the meaning

to dissolve its unlawful relations, refrain from doing what it has
illegally done and hereafter do business with strict regard to the
law of the land. The electrical trust has been a stiff proposition
for the government TO tackle, and its surrender indicates that there
is no lack of power TO the government elbow in it's dealings with the

Court. But the supreme test is the question of the prosecution of

BELATED STATE school APPOINTMENTS.

1ITA HERE has been no appointment as yet of high school inspector
and elementary school inspector by the State school com
missioner, only one of the three assistants authorized by the
new school law having been appointed. Superintendent, principals
and teachers and others interested in educational matters are puz
zled by the long delay in completing the organization of the execu-
tive department of the new State school board. 1t is not known
whether the appointments are to be credited TO the commissioner
or to the Governor, but in either case there seems to be no reason
for the delay. As for the State board, its proceedings thus far
have been attended by apparent indifference. At the last session
not more than six commissioners were present and the board is
short of two members, as one is in Europe, while another, Senator
Frelnghuysen will be DISQUALIFIED until his senatorial term is
ended.
