Shampoo For the Journey.

Every woman has known the mis-
cry of needing a shampoo after a
journey and not being able to have
it at once because of lack of facili-
ties. The hot and cold water may be
handy, but not the shampoo medium.
So prepare this before you leave
home and carry it along in a tightly
stoppered bottle-a three-ounce vial
would do. Boil CASTLE soap shaved
to a powder-about two heaping
tablespoonsfuls-in a little water
putting in about two salt-spoonfuls
OF washing soda. When getting
ready to wash the hair massage a
wee bit of cold cream into the scalp,
then slightly wet the hair and work
in the soap jelly or liquid-into the
scalp OF course. Rinse as usual, try
ing to keep the successive waters at
an even temperature 1t is the sud-
den change from hot to cold water
which makes the hair harsh as it is
so often found to be after the most
careful shampoo. The reason given
by the beauty people for boiling the
soap used in shampoos is that this
preparation makes 1t still more
bland; if the hard cake is rubbed di-
rectly upon the hair it is bound to
be harsh and less bright than If the
head is washed by regularly-pre-
pared soap as directed.

Apron For Traveller.

For the woman who expects to
spend one or more nights aboard a
sleeping car the travelling apron is
mighty convenient possession. 1t
may be fashioned from the same ma
terial as the tarveling kimono-that
is, pongee or china silk-or of a
more substantial fabric, such as
cretone or linen. 1t is a very simple
affair, bound with tape or ribbon,
and fastens about the waist with a
tight-fitting buttoned strap. 1t is
fitted up with pockets for toilette re-
Quisites of all sorts-brush, comb,
hairpins, powder, soap, manicure i'm
plements, etC.-which are ready to
hand in the confined dressing quar-
ters that the railroad companies
place at the disposal of their femin-
inc patrons. When not in commits
sion it is rolled up to a convenient
size for suitcase or grip.

Be it resolved by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in
General Assembly met, That the fol-
lowing is proposed as an amendment
to the Constitution OF Pennsylvania.
in accordance with the provisions of
the eighteenth article thereof
Article TX.
Section Is. No obligations which
have been heretofore issued, or
which may hereafter be issued, by
any county or municipality, other
than Philadelphia, to provide for the
construction or acquisition of water
works, subways, underground rail-
ways or street railways, or the ap-
purtenances thereof, shall be con-
sidered as a debt of a municipality
within the meaning of section eight
of article nine of the Constitution of
Pennsylvania or of this amendment,
If the net revenue derived from said
property for a period of five years,
either before or after the acquisition
thereof, or, where the same is con-
structed by the county or munich
pality, after the completion thereof,
shall have been sufficient to pay in
| terest and sinking-fund charges dur
! ing said period upon said obliga-
tions, or If the said obligations shall
| be secured by liens upon the respec-
tive properties, and shall impose no
municipal liability. Where munich
palities of counties shall issue obli-
| cations to provide for the construc-
tion of property, as herein provided,
said municipalities or counties may
also issue obligations to provide for
the interest and sinking-fund charges
accruing thereon until said proper
| ties shall have been completed and
in operation for a period of one
year; and said municipalities and
counties shall not be required to levy
a tax to pay said interest and sink
ing-fund charges, as required by Sec
ton ten of article nine of the Con-
stitution of Pennsylvania, until after
said properties shall have been oper-
ated by said counties or municipali-
ties during said period of one year.
Any of the said municipalities or
counties may incur Indebtedness in
excess of seven per centum, and not
exceeding ten per centum, of the as
sessed valuation of the taxable prop
erty therein, if said increase of in
debtedness shall have been assented
to by three-ifths of the electors vot-
ner as shall be provided by law.

CHESTNUT BLIGHT.
Insects in Relation to the Dying of
the Chestnut Trees.


The Importance of having the best
information that can be secured on
the subject of insects in their rela-
tion to the chestnut led the Secre-
tary of Agriculture to project an ex-
tensive investigation through the
Branch of Forest Insects of the Bur-
eau of Entomology.
General Investigations since 1893
have shown that more than 45O
species of insects inhabit the chest
nut While all of these are not de-
structive, some are especially so.
One, the so-called two-lined chestnut
borer, is directly responsible for the
death of more timber, perhaps, than
all the others combined. This is a
small, elongated beetle which flies in
May and June and deposits eggs on
te bark OF living and dying chest
nuts, oak, beech, and ironwood in the
Southern, Middle and Eastern states.
The elongate, slender larvae mine in
the inner bark and outer wood in
such a manner as to girdle the trees.
When they attain their full growth
they transform to the adult stage in
the outer wood, or bark, to emerge
the following spring and repeat the
process. Investigations have shown
that it can be controlled by dispos-
ing of the infested trees in such a
manner as to destroy the bark on
the main trunks during the fall and
winter months.
The extensive dying of the chest
nut in the Southern States during
| the last century, whore the chestnut
blight disease was not known to oc-
cur, together with extensive inves-
| LEGATIONS in this region, indicate
| that there are a number OF agencies
of destruction which must be inves-
tigated before the problem of pro-
| tecting the chestnut can be solved
In some sections of the South
where more than fifty years ago the
| chestnut trees were abundant, very
| few are present today. Observations
| by DIR. A. d. Hopkins, in charge OF
Forest Insect Investigations, during
! the past twenty years in the appala-
chians show a widespread death OF
both chestnut and chinquapin during
the period.
In order that Investigations may
be extended in all sections where
the chestnut grows, owners OF tim
ber should report to the Bureau OF
Entomology as to the healthy or un'
healthy condition of their timber
Information Is especially desired
from localities representing the most
northern, western, southern, and
southeastern parts OF its distribution
namely in the North from Maine
New Hampshire, and New York, II
the West from Michigan, Ohio, In
diana, Kentucky and Tennessee; II
the South, from Mississippi, Ala
bama and Georgia, and in the South
east, from South Carolina, Nortl
Carolina, and Virginia.

Some Don't for the Summer Girl.

Don't allow the hair to get wet
while in bathing. Cover it with an
oilskin bathing cap. Should the hair
accidentally become wet while bath
ing in the surf, it should be rinsed as
soon as possible after the bath, as
salt water has a tendency to make
the hair streaked and rusty looking.
Don't stand, walk or ride in the
sun without suitable covering for
the hair. Such thoughtlessness often
is responsible for dry and faded hair,
which will need a lot of labor and a
considerable quantity OF tonic to re-
store it to its natural soft glossness.
Don't be careless in the matter
|of regular attention. Shampooing
and brushing must be thoroughly
done or the dust and grim will make
the hair brittle and lifeless. Then

Fashion Notes.

The chiffon scarf draped fichu
fashion and with ends cut diagonal
ly makes a very pretty drapery in
sash form at the back of thin mus
lin frock.
Lace blouses are worn, but they
are no longer yelled with chiffon, al
though mmings-coliar and re-
vers-of chiffon, usually black, are
allowed.
Smart and practical are the high,
soft collars and four-in-hand ties of
wash silk. Those in white silk, strip
ed in either green or red are partic-
ularly striking.
The coat of white satin, worn over
skirt of black satin, cloth or some
other dark material, is smart.
A belt of black patent leather,
edged top and bottom, with soft
white kid, is very effective. The eye
lets are white and the small buckle is
of mother-of-pearl.
Small and fat are the newest hats,
displaying the hair, and trimmed
with wisps of feathers, flowers and
small bows of velvet in a fascinating
manner.
Long coats of ratine or eponge in
white and black with satin foulard
Innings are worn instead of the pop
ular polo coat of last year.
A new garment suggesting a red
ingote has been evolved for wear over
thin Summer gowns. Made of satin,
crepe or taffeta and sometimes of
chiffon, it is open in the front-fast-
ened at a single point-usually the
waist line-and is usually cut away
downward to the back, where it is

MILADY'S CORNER

but the new is injured greatly, be
cause it Is tender and delicate. The
scalp is more susceptible in warm
weather and, therefore, the roots of
the hair are more easily affected.
Don't pin on any unnecessary ex-
ira hair in summer The head may
become overheated and hair gets
tired and needs a rest as well as the
head of hair, ventilate it often, ar
range it as soft and fluffy as possible
and avoid tension in arranging it.
Don't substitute a dry shampoo for
a wet one, even If your hair is oily.
1t will do no good and may do lots
of harm. The summer is no time for
dry champooing. Between the dust
and the oil already in the hair and
the addition of dry shampoo power
you may ruin your hair with such
treatment. When necessary give the
hair and scalp a thorough liquid and
water shampoo. No dry shampoo
can equal a wet one properly given.
However, do not shampoo the hair
oftener than every two or three
weeks. If the hair is very oily or
becomes moist with perspiration, it
may be separated into strands when
taken down at night, and with a
wide nail brush dipped into equal
parts of witchhazel, alcohol and rose
water brush the scalp very gently all
over; when finished, if the hair
should feel damp, dry it with tow
els. This treatment, of course, is for
intervals between shampoos.
