JUST a FRIENDLY TIP.

Tho Lynchburg Ne1cs is up against the same
trouble which confronts every one who saws a
word for capital punishment From Tazewell
correspondent it receives the glib assurance that
capital punishment does not operate as a de-
terrent because ii has not wiped out crime The
only answer to that statement is frank adj
mission. Capital punishment does not wipe out
crime, no one ever said that it did and no
one ever expected that it would The peculiar
thing about 1t all is that anyone should take
the trouble 10 make the assertion that it does
not.
That capital punishment does not entirely
prevent crime has absolutely no place in a
discussion Of the question unless it can be
proven that life imprisonment does The only
point to be considered is which penalty has.
greater deterrent effect If capital punish
ment is a better deterrent than life imprison.
ment and the fact is established the argument
ends If life imprisonment is better deterrent
and 1t is proven so, the opponents of the death
penalty have won their case They have not
done So certainly, since the present agitation
in Virginia begun Few of them have tried
to do so they have wasted their ammunition on
questions foreign to the issue or have suddenly
to qualify as commentators and interpretations

these attempts have been rather amusing was
to be expected, for such a result is inevitable

conceived opinions

Well Kept Eyebrows
Add Greatly to the
General Appearance

Women and girls know that the eye
5rows are often ruined by dust when
motoring or by exposure to the sun,
extent that the glands are unable to
nourish the hair roots.
If your brows are getting thin, strag-
gly or losing their natural gloss you
have reason to suspect something has
happened to them and every effort
should be made to better the condition
by feeding the roots.
In this treatment one of the first
essentials is to keep the brows thor
oughly clean This means more than
superficial washing, for while mere
dust may be loosened. 1t cannot be
taken out, and so the pores get
choked. Many a pretty eyebrow has
been hopelessly ruined by just being
neglected, and its owner probably did
not know why because many women
do no more for the eyebrows than
to wash them when performing the
daily ablutions.
To properly wash the eyebrows
small soft brush is necessary
(brushes that come for the purpose
may be purchased at almost any drug
store, but II desired childs small,
soft tooth brush, kept for the purpose.
will answer just the same), and some
bland soap which contains pure oil,
either olive oil or CASTLE, are good.
The soap should be liquid, the water
tepid and. after dipping the brush into
the water. then into the soap, a Wig
orous scrubbing should follow Scrub
down into the roots. Rinse several
times to make sure that all the soap is
removed. A good way is to thorough
ly cleanse the brush, freeing 1t from
soap and then scrub the brows with
clear, clean water, otherwise the roots
and pores become clogged, Just as
those do on the head, when the hair
has not been properly rinsed after a
shampoo.
Always when coming In from the
summer wind the brows should be
given a gentle but thorough brushing
In order to remove as much of the
dust as possible before 1t settles to
the skin. Then they should be bathed,
they need not at this point be scrub
bed. If you form the habit Of scrub
bing them once a day and If per-
formed in the morning or before re-
firing at night 1t will suffice. This
washing, in the very nature of things,
extracts the natural oils and their
equivalent must be restored
AS substitute for natural oil of the
skin vaseline is excellent. SO is sweet
almond oil. II the former is used It
may be applied rather thickly with
the finger tips. wiping off any super
duous amount with old, soft cloths
No grease should be allowed to get
on the skin beyond side the hair line
or there will be mussy look The
slightest amount that remains on the
brows enhances the line and their
beauty by giving luster with no
look of RrassA II almond oil is used
