GIRLS WERE
SAVED BY HIS
QUICK ACTIONS

Tacoma, Sept S,-Two adventure
some girls, Gladys Flaskett, daughter
of local attorney, and Hazel Holmes,
are none the worse today for their ex-
perlence yesterday when they narrow
ly escaped drowning in the Sound. The
girls were spending the day at Man
zanita Beach, near here, and, despite
warnings, they venutred out on the
rough water in canoe.
Fearing a tragedy, ]. Clyde Gazeley
an Oakland, Cal, youth, visiting at the
summer resort, put off in skiff, and
followed the girls. Shortly after he
left shore the canoe was caught by a
big wave and capsized. Neither girl
could swim, and both owe their lives
to the prompt action of young Gaze
ley.

The man who wears a toupee does
not like it, but has the courage of his
convictions.
Nature never intended that the top
of the head should be left entirely
without protection. A bald head is
very susceptible to contraction of
colds and neuralgia. Wearing an arti-
ficial top piece counteracts this ten
denscy, and, aside from the improve
ment in the personal appearance, is
amply justified.
How much better it would have been
had the man, now chronically bald and
wearing toupee, but realized earlier
in Iife.the approaching danger and de-
voted little regular attention to his
hair, which would have saved it.
