Careful Brushing.

Often 1t is very difficult to keep ones
hair in good order and the scalp clean,
especially ION the road" At such times
make up for it by brushing my hair
about twice as much as I would ordi-
narily do and by keeping my brushes
very clean. I always have two hair
brushes-one wire one for brushing out
tangles and the other a bristle brush
for polishing and oiling the hair. The
reason why most brushing is virtually
useless is because the brushes are not
kept clean enough, and one is just
brushing the dust in again.
When you are brushing your hair to
clean It, rub the scalp over with a clean
towel or a piece Of linen. If the hair
is very dusty, dip the linen in bay rum
and rub the scalp thoroughly. You can
use a soft tooth brush. If you prefer,
This will keep the scalp in good con-
dition even if you have to let it go
several weeks without shampoolng the
hair, and it's a good way to do when
you are i'll and not able to have your
head washed.

By DIANA OSTE.

n UTE lot of people have asked
me what I do to keep my hair
X looking so well, and to make it
grow so long.
Now, ! can't say that | had anything
to do in making it grow long. My hair
always was healthy and strong, and
it's only since I've been on the stage
that l realize that you have to care for
your hair if you want to keep 1t in
good condition.
The heat Of the dressing rooms, the
paint and powder and the quantity of
cold cream one uses, all have their
effect on the scalp, and they are not
good for the hair any more than is
dust or other substances which clog the
pores of the scalp.
The hair of the modern girl really
does not get enough ventilation, and l
believe that is one reason why there
are so few fine heads Of hair, such as
we are told women used to have in
generations past.
In the first place, sunshine is an alb
solute necessity for the hair, especially
glints in it. You can notice right away
the difference in the color of the hair
of blonde If after a period of long
confinement in the house she spends
a whole day in the sunshine without a
hat on.
Whenever l get the chance l venti-
late my hair taking out all the hair
pins and letting it down, running my
hands through it, so that the air gets
to the roots. If | have the good for
tune to be In the country. l don't wear
hat at all, but go about with my
hair hanging letting the wind and sun
shine act as beauty agents.
The Open Air.
One day in the open air will tighten
the hair up wonderfully. and the
blonde who can stay out of doors will
never need the aid of the peroxide
bottle. But, of course, to tighten up
the hair in this natural way, you must
let 1t down and brush and comb it fire.
quently, so that the light and the air
will get to all parts Of it.
Bathing in salt water and then dry
ing the hair in the strong sun will also
tighten it considerably but you must
be sure and not try it too often. or
the hair will become brittle and break
off.
So many people have brittle hair that
it's no wonder people who sell bril-
liantine make fortunes at it.
I have my own special way of oiIing
my hair, and though | don't do it very

will see. Whenever l have vacation,

SUPPLYING A WAITER
pm the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Here's a way to get ahead of the cafe walters that know it all. The recipe was handed us by restaurant haunter. He does it as follows:
 He seats himself and says: Waiter, have you any nice Gorgonzola cheese?"
 "Yes, sir" says the waiter, tour Con- gonzola is very fine"
 ''Is it fresh?,n''
 Just made, sir''
 "Is it nice. and white?'
 Believe me, it is as white as snow, sir"
 Good. And is it hard in the middle?'
 Like a rock, sir"
 "Thanks. Georgel Gs your name George? Well, thanks, anyho1). Let me tell you something: Gorgonzola cheese should never be fresh. It should never be white, but green. It should never be hard in the middle, but mushy. If you are not a liar, you have no good Cor gonzola. If you have any good Gorgon- zla, you are a liar, George. In either case-well, bring us two Swiss sand wiches, with mustard.'
 The waiter then loses a whole night s sleep studying.

Concerning New skyscrapers

This is a skyscraper year in Bir- n1ingham. The American Trust build ing is going up, and it will be fol lowed, according to present outgivings and evidences not only by two hotels, but by county building and by an office building in Second ave- nue at the corner of Twenty-first street. There would thus be five sky scrapers, and the year is still young.
 The steady centering here of agen- cies of various sorts calls for more of flee room, and it would not be sur prising if one or two more skyscrap- CTS were erected this year. Formerly all southeastern agencies went to At lanta. Now at least half of them seek offices in Birmingham, and the num- ber of such locations will be increased year by year. The movement could be hastened if all Alabamians would turn deaf ear to all agencies that ignore this state.
 The modern office is development of the present generation. It is so much better than the old time office that no progressive citizen has any desire to turn back.
 Welcome then the skyscrapers. They may not be ideally beautiful. They do not readily afford opportuni- ty for the application of great types of architecture. They are simply com fortable and accessible from top and bottom, and we cannot have too many of them.

BEING ON 2 SINKING SHIP oa, inc New York Trihupa

 How must it feel to be on a ship and know that it is going down?" said one of luncheon party discussing the Titanic disaster When all had expressed opn- ion the silent man of the party said: You men thinlx'-I know. 1 was on ship in January, 1890, which for a time was considered done for.

On the morning of the second day of the storm, with hatches closed. companion way smashed and a foot of water in the saloon, we had to laugh at young man who, dressed in his bed clothes, with high hat on his head and a camera in his bands, mounted the long table and took a picture of the scene. But after we had landed in Liver pool from the partly dismantled ship, when danger was over, then everyone went to pieces. The resolutions of thanks which we gave the captain were signed by all but one of the passengers, and he declined because his clothes had been ruined by the water"

nNnEnMnnn,s nppoRTuNITY

From the Washington Post
 D. w. Barrett editor of the Birmingham Age Herald, stopped off on his way soulh from New York yesterday to have chat with Representative Oscar W. uh- derwood, and to take a peep into the Ala bama statesmans presidential headquar- ters. MT. Barrett is convinced that ms state is to furnish in the floor leader the next President of the great republic.
 oMr. Underwood's success in the demo- cratic presidential nomination contest IS already practically assured" declared MT. Barrett. 'tHe will go into the Baltimore convention with the southeast solidly for him. Alabama has instructed for him; Florida will go for him tomorrow and Georgia on Wednesday We also expect the Carolinas to instruct for him, and believe that Virginia will eventually in- struct for him in the convention. With Underwoods splendid record in Congress, which has commanded the respect and ad- miration of the American people, we feel confident that many other states will fall in line, and that he will finally be the nominee.
 If nominated, there Is every reason to believe that he is the one democrat who would be assured of election, regardless of who might be the republican nominee.
 MT. Barrett declared that he regarded MT. Underwood as the ablest man who has represented the south in Congress for many years. He has developed under his experience, MT. Barret declared, until he now ranks as one of the ablest leaders who has ever sat in Congress. MT. Bar rett's attention was caled to the claims which Colonel Roosevelt is making, that if nominated he might break the solid democratic south.
 Absurd" he replied. "Underwod would poll the old Tilden vote.''

Underwood md FIorIdn

B. M Allen and D. F. Turnbull, who went to Florida in February and started an organization for Underwood, are nat urally greatly pleased over Tuesdays re- suit in that state. When they returned from their first trip they brought encour- aging news. They made second trip toward the close of the campaign and B. M Allen, shrewd politician. expressed himself with confidence in an Underwood victory in the Florida primary.
 T am proud of Florida giving Under wood such decisive majority as it did in Tuesdays primary" said a native of the Flower State Tn Mir. Turnbull's old home town, Monticello, the vote stood Underwood, 122, Wilson 64. If Underwood had organized earlier in Florida he would have got a much larger vote. When an organization was affected Underwood de- veloped immediate strength, but the Will son forces had been at work and many men were committed to Wilson, who would have voted for the Alabama states man had they known he was going to en- ter the race. All of Underwood's friends are. of course, happy over the result in Florida and Georgia"

Elimination of Grade Crossings

The city and the Chamber of Com merce and citizens who belong to no organization are puzzled by the mag
 nitude and importance of the grade
 crossing problem. The dangers of such crossings are freely seen and ad- s1nitted, and the manner of getting rid of such dangers in this city is in- tricate and difficult. Viaducts are ex- pensive, and subways are dark besides involving troubles in drainage. J. D. Moore is convinced after a careful study of the situation that the true remedy consists in the elevation of the railroad tracks. And even this will be found difficult, for switches to warehouses would have to be changed.

"LrTrr.E WOMEN, ON THE STAGE

In the May Woman's Home Companion there is an account of a dramatization of Louisa M. Alcott's Little Women, which has recently been put on the stage. Miss Jessie Bonstelle arranged for the production, and Miss Marian de Forest well known writer, prepared the drama tization. For many years the attempt has been going on to obtain permission from the Alcott heirs to dramatize this famous book. The principal difficulty was in obtaining permission from Daisy and Demi, the twins of the book. two nephews of Miss Alcott. Daisy, who had grown up as Mr. Fred Pratt, objected strongly to the proposition, but Demi who in real life is John Alcott. recalling his aunt's love for the stage, was more favorably inclined. The recent death of Mir. Pratt has made it possible to con summate the plan, and the play has just been put on the professional stage under the direction of William A. Brady in Buffalo, with success.
 In the article Mir. Alcott is quoted as saying:
 T believe it is time to drop this op- POoitlOIl tp tit OI Auiii Louisas greatest piece of work. She had no prejudice against the stage. In fact she loved it. As girl she cherished a secret longing to act. As woman, espe- cially as a writer, she cultivated and en. | joyed the society of brilliant actresses A sympathetic and understanding dram. atization of Little Women would be
 matter of pride and satisfaction to her l If she had lived in this day of the sue cessful American woman dramatist, un
 doubtedly she would have been one O | them.

Music Festival Day

Birmingham's music festival begins to- day at the Jefferson theatre. The hour for the first performance is 2:3O D. m. Only popular prices will be charged, as the programme is arranged especially for school children. The Minneapolis orches- tra will be heard on this occasion for the first time in Birmingham. It is a great orchestra and all music lovers shall be eager to hear it.
 Mir Oberhoffer, the conductor. will give lecture this afternoon, in which he will explain the instruments of the orchestra, and his remarks will be illustrated by beautiful selections from famous compo- stions. A grand concert will be given tonight and there is every indication that the theatre will be filled to overfowing There will be a Saturday matinee and the festival will close with symphonic con- cert Saturday night.
 Young music pupils who fail to at tend the Friday afternoon concert will miss a rare opportunity of learning some thing about tone color and instrumental tion, and at the same time of hearing some of the most tuneful music ever writ
 
 from Schubert's c minor symphony, in which the oboe plays a sustained melody and the largo from Dvofak's New World symphony, in which the English horn is q solo instrument, would be worth going to hear if nothing else were on the bill. But the entire programme is full of charm.
 Not everyone who loves music is fa- miliar with all the instruments in the orchestra. Besides the violoncello and the bass viol, orchestral instruments most often heard, everybody knows the clario- net, flute, cornet and trombone because these instruments are used in military bands as well as in theatre orchestras. But how many can appreciate the differ ence between the tone of a French horn and an alto horn, or how many know just what part the bassoop has in an or chestra, or what relation the English horn has to the other reed instruments? The English horn, by the way, is not q brass instrument, as its name might suggest, but is woodwind It is simply an alto oboe. The Friday programme concludes with a brilliant Russian Polonaise by | Glazounow.

New Orleans New Ambition

News Orleans wants to take hand in theRmanufacture of finished prod nets from iron and steel. We do not propose" says the Picayune, that the from ore should be brought to New Orleansa to be smelted, but that the iron and steel after being made at Pittsburg and our own Birmingham should be brought to New Orleans to he manufactured into iron and steel shius. railroad cars and the other numerous uses which iron and steel are rapidly monopolizing. The metal and the coal can be floated to New Orleans from both Pittsburg and Bir- minghaan, and here is the place to manufacture it. Within a few decades a great steel shipbuilding plant has been established at Newport News, Va. and all the coal and iron must be carried there many hundred of miles by rail, whereas it could be brought to New Orleans in unlimited quantities by thetgreatest river in the country"
 New Orleans is looking more to Pittsburg than to Birmingham, but when New Orleans starts great fac tories on fuel and iron and steel drawn from points 2000 miles away it will be pgreas~ handicapped. All desired ma terial could be floated down the War rior and through Mississippi sound and Lake Borgne, and the distance saved would be about 1900 miles. The Picayune should cease to keep an eye on Pittsburg. It should turn more to- ward Birmingham, and the Lake Borgne canal.
 The opening of the Panama canal will lead to remarkable changes in manufacturing as well as in transpor- tation, and New Orleans is simply Nalert and vigilant.
