Causes of Superhuous Hair.
B. F. A. asks: What causes super
fluous hair to grow on a woman's face
and what could you suggest as a pre-
ventive? Does worry cause 1t to grow
more?"
Superfluous hair originates in I'M
natural capillary growth. The condi-
ton may be acquired or congenital
The apparent causes are by no means
uniform, being more or less obscure
in origin. Racial tendency. so-called
heredity and nervous influences are
probable factors. Constant applications
of poultices will sometimes cause a
growth Of hair. also constant exposure
of the arms or any part of the body to
extreme heat or to the sun. There is
no preventive save in the avoidance
of undue exposure. and the electric
needle is the only safe and permanent
method of destroying superfluous hair.
Great care should be taken to patronize
only q skilled operator. or the work
may have to be repeated. Peroxide may
be used to bleach the unwelcome
growth and SO render 1t less conspic-
uous. Although worry does play a far
larger part in our physical condition
and appearance than is generally rec
ognized, still l should hesitate to say
II either caused or would lessen the
growth of superfluous hair.

SAFE AND SANE.

When Florence Nightingale eN-
planned why she opposed woman's
suffrage she gave as her strongest
reason the fact that women were in
capable of cooperation and con-
certed action, which in her opinion
were necessary if they were to use
political power to advantage She
knew no instance where women
working together had accomplished
anything of great Importance. 1ndi-
vidual women, to be sure, achieve fine
results, and women working with men
had influence, but women, as women
working in unison-never.
Well, maybe the heroine of Sou
tart judged fairly for the women she
knew. Perhaps there was lack OF
cooperation in the nurses whom she
directed in the Crimean war; per-
haps in England at the time she
sought to raise the nursing profess
sion she failed to get the sort of con-
certed action from women that she
was able to secure from men. But
either women have changed lot or
the women Florence Nightingale
knew were not representative OF their
sex.
If you want an example of what
big results can be accomplished
simply through the concerted action
of women working with women take
the case of the safe and sane Fourth
of July. The total number of casual
ties from the celebration of the
glorious Fourth are less than a quar-
ter of what they were Ave years ago.
The day used to be day of hor
rors, of fire and explosions, of rum
away horses and OF shattered nerves.
And today, throughout the greater
part of the country, it is a day OF
sane and safe celebration And if it
had not been for the cooperation of

JULY GARDEN TALK.

Some >one once told an ardent
gardener that IL she kept her garden
free from weeds until the first, Of Au-
gust. she would have no more trouble
with weeds until the following spring
She never found out whether or not
the promise was true. for the hot days
Of July always overcame her de-
Examinations to root out each weed
as II appeared. So by the end Of
July is an important time in the
i garden. 1t is not time Of planning
and planting. like autumn and spring.
| and IT Is not. like June. q time Of
| transplanting and getting the garden
into shape. 1t Is a time of tending.
For what good is all the planting
of April and May. all the transplant
ing Of June. all the work of the pre-
| vious autumn. II in July heat and
| drought and weeds are allowed to
| overrun and devastate the garden?
| Watering the garden is the most
| important thing that must be done.
To be sure. water makes weeds grow,
| and weeds root out other plants. but
II you only have time for a little
tending spend much of that time on
systematic watering of the garden in
July.
II you cannot water all the garden
every day. make a systematic plan
out, just as you would about the
weekly cleaning of the house. And
remember that no watering Is better
than a bare sprinkle of the surface
Of the earth. 1t 10 far better to water
plant only once a week and then
to soak its roots and the earth far
below its roots. than IL is to sprinkle
1t every day. For watering the top
of the soil calls the roots to the sur
face for water, and makes the plant
weak and unable to endure the very
heat and drought from which you are
trying TO protect it. Deep watering
draws the roots down into the earth.
and then when a real drought does
come. the plant Is able to find some
moisture.
There are some plants that do not
need frequent watering. 1t is a safe
rule to water plants in bud or bios
som more literally than those that
have not yet flowered-and, of course.
those that have already Powered do
not need such constant watering. But
dahlias and chrysanthemums do not
need watering oftener than once
week. twice in very hot weather. even
| when they are towering. Then they
should be. thoroughly soaked. Aside
from these sturdy plants. try to water
the others at least three times a week
in hot weather. Take one part of
the garden to water Monday and
Thursday. another Tuesday and Fri
day. and another Wednesday and Sat-
urday.
Ten minutes spent in the cool part
of each early morning will do wonders
in the way of keeping weeds up
rooted. And five minutes spent each
day. in cutting OF faded flowers from
the plants that bloom throughout the
summer will do wonders in keeping
the flowers in good condition.

eter at the base. The bell Is similar to
those used at Christmas time and may
be procured at almost any stationery
store. Red and white paper festoons are
then draped from the sides of the pole
to the point from which the bell hangs.
The basis of the body trim is white
crepe paper fringe made as follows:
Stretch a fold of paper and then cut in
thirds and fold up three times. leaving
an uncut border at the top. Make the
fringe by cutting across the grain of the
paper. Glue this border of the fringe to
cloth tape and fasten the tape to the
car. This method does not damage the
car in the least.
When the fringe is on the car cut out
shields from decorated crepe paper. and
after pasting them on thin cardboard
fasten them on the car with covered
wire.
The large red white and blue poppies
The Washington herald., 1915-07-02

are made easily from tissue paper. A
row of them is pinned to the top of the
fringe and others are fastened in the
spokes by their wire stems. Large tissue
paper poppy petals are fastened around
the hub of each wheel and around the
lamps
The crepe paper flags and plumes are
fixed to the four corners of the car as
shown, and the hood is crowned with a
paper eagle or some other appropriate
emblem.
AL the materials for trimming, with
the exception of the pole may be pur-
chased at practically every stationery
and department store. The best crepe
paper comes in packet folds and sells for
10 cents a packet. The garlands and fes-
toons are equally inexpensive. Leaving
out the eagle. which would have to be
made to order. the entire trim shown in

Now that school is over what are
the children of your family doing to
spend their time? Experts in child
nature tell us that more bad habits
are formed in vacation time than in
all the rest of the year put together.
Young minds freed from the re-
straint of study are more impress
sionable now than at any other time
of the year. Make the most of this
and let the influence be in the direc-
ton that you would want it. to be.
Every boy and girl really needs a
complete change. The city child
ought to be sent to the country for
at least month. Perhaps you can't
afford to send your child to one OF
the vacation camps which is the
ideal summer outing for the school
girl or boy. But we most of us have

try where the youngsters can culti-
vate their natural love for the woods
and stream, the open field and the
