:. OUR BEAUTY CORNER:

IF you are troubled with enlarged
pores try covering the face al night
with oatmeal made into a paste with
rosewater, Smear it well over the face
and wipe off with a sponge or flannel
dipped in tepid water. When washing
the face few drops~of lemon Juice
added to the water may be used by
those bothered with very open pores.
The lemon Juice has a tendency to
close tpe pores and the friction of the
oatmeal is beneficial to the skin.
The Summer Shampoo.
The summer shampoo when done to
excess, like every other good thing, is
harmful. Every time the hair and
scalp are thoroughly washed the nat
ural oil SO necessary to the life of the
hair and the healthy condition of the
scalp likewise takes its exit. A certain
amount OF this loss will do no harm
provided il in the meanwhile normal
amount or oil has been acquired. but
when shampooing is. carried to excess
the constant washing out OF the. oils
leaves the roots starved: they soon
weaken and the hair falls out. Fur
thermore the hair loses its color and
luster. and to these evils may be added
the ruinous effects of drying by cleo
tricity. systematic brushing of the
hair every night before retiring will do
much toward keeping both scalp ami
hair clean. The brushing stimulates
the roots TO pour out their oil ana

If YOU WANT TO LOOK NICE

REMEMBER that in dressing
il is not by any means al
ways the person who spends
the largest amount of money
who gets the best results. By
buying carefully and keeping TO
one foundation color one can
get excellent results with small
expenditure.
A navy blue costume quite
plainly cut is suitable for nearly
every occasion, as II can be
worn with a plain shirt blouse
or with a smart one and a lacy

Never wear a shirt collar with
featheTed hat. The latter
must only be worn with lace or
other dainty neckwear.
And don't wear thin gloves or
patent shoes with shirt blouse
and hard felt hat.
Remember that a little money
at the tai,or's for pressing a cos
tune is money well invested.

THE SEASONS STYLE TIPS.

IT is the fashion among the most chic
OF Partisan women not to wear cor
sets at all.
Rough materials. such as cheyiots
and chinchiIlas. will be much used for
autumn coats.
Tunic skirts increase in favor. and
separate skirts generally are coming to
the fore.
Ornaments and tassels OF every de-

Disbrow Says Three
Miles in a Minute
Three miles a minute,

Three miles a minute,
That's our idea of being in a hurry,
says the New York Globe
It's also Louis Dsbrow's idea Of
what he expects to do.
Joking?
Nope, not ioking-serious as a
pitneture. Louis Disbrow, the speed
lsing of 1872, not only believes it can
be done, but expects to do it himself
before many pay days. {That's how
we figure time). NJ
Louis has been thinking about it
for several years now and will prob.
ably continue thinking about it the
rest of his life, or until the time he
attempts it.
Disbrow fully intended to have lis
ldee down to a working basis-mean
speeding basis, in time for the big
races at Indianapolis, but his plans
suffered puncture and one of the
pet idees threw tire. But Louis is a
game 'un, as we all know, SO just give
him time, and even little more If
necessary, and we will see him speed

for human being to drive that fast

The air pressure at that speed

to see. prevents all attempts to excel

the speed Bob Durham made when he

its the limit under present conditions.

during that race against time every
thing went black on him. and it
was by the greatest of luck that he
was able to finish the race alive.

is means of driving car as fast as
it is possible for a car to go-and,
