T0DAY's BEAUTY HELP

You can keep your hair at its very
best by washing it with teaspoontul
of canthrox dissolved in cup of hot
water, afterward rinsing thoroughly
with clear water. One finds that the
hair dries quickly and evenly, is un-
streaked, bright, soft and very fluffy,
so fluffy, in fact, that il looks more
abundant than it is, and so soft that
arranging it becomes pleasure. This
simple. inexpensive shampoo cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly of all
dandruff and dirt and leaves a clean,
wholesome feeling. All scalp irritation
will disappear, and the hair will be
brighter and Qlossier than ever before

We had left the Famous Players
Studio at about six o'clock, after a
happy, busy day, and the evening
passed merrily. Two pictures were
finished. "The Founding" and "Pep-
PIMA" which were soon to be re-
leased and were locked in the safe
as ten valuable reels.
The studio was on the top floor OF
large factory building, and it was
there the Famous Players Company
had started its existence, taking
up its quarters in this spacious loft
which had formerly been an armory

Zukor was startled. "In case it is any

Zukor got out, growing more and

the studio. He hardly dared to ask

There we found Mr.. Zukor alone,
silently watching the destruction OF
nearly aemillion dollars worth OF

"I'm sorry you weren't spared this

to me.

New York. January II.
to return to fashion would be a turn of
styles that few women would have pre-
dicted a few months ago. Those separ-
ate belts were such troublesome arrange
ments. They needed so much coaxing
and wheedling to induce them to stay in
position They had to be adjusted with
such accuracy and skill In order to be
made to stay in place that most of us
were glad when they went the way of all
fashions that are passe and We wore our
tailored skirts with attached belts or
with no belts at all.
But from Paris has come the news that
already the separate belt of leather or
fabric is appearing in the exclusive
shops This is. say fashion prophets,
only the natural outcome of the return
of the well-defined waistline. Many of
these belts are of bright colored patent
leather, and the buckles are of all sorts
of fancy metal and jeweled construction.
Among the newest are those of tortoise
shell.
Low Collars to Return.
am told that neckwear manufacturers
are fully prepared for a return to fashion
of low collars. Even collars that are
mod eled on high lines will be opened in

those especially designed for tailored
effect and sports-the high collar will
not be much In evidence.
Whether or not you welcome this piece
of news depends on one thing-whether
or not low collars are more becoming to
you than high ones. And since probably

New York, Jan. 17.-Mr. John ID. Rookie
feller, jr., is a very earnest young man.
Some two years ago his influence and
money secured the founding of the Bu-
reau of Social Hygiene, whose real oo-
ject is the suppression and-so far as
possible-the elimination of vice. It's
an offensive and nasty crusade. There
is little glory to be had from 1t and a
great deal of enmity to be incurred.
At the time, Mr.. Rockefeller was pretty
severely criticised for soiling his hands
by deliberately handling pitch. But he
kept right on and said very little. 1t
was a subject that could not be freely
discussed any way. I imagine the gen.
eral public had pretty well forgotten Mr.
Rockefellers Bureau OF Social Hygiene
in view of his other activities in the
West But the New York police had not
forgotten 1t, nor had Mr.. Rockefeller.
Vice Graft stopped.
In talking about it the other day, I
found that he Is enthusiastic on the sub
ject His society has practically achiev-
ed what 1t set out to do. II has broken
up the close alliance between the polics
force and vice promoters and put q stop
to vice graft. Incidentally he paid
very high compliment to the police force
as now administered and the normal
atmosphere whicn, ne dsseflS, poiFaues
1t. He says:
"CoIluston between exploiters of vice
and officials in the police department has
ceased Petty grating still occurs. The
man on the beat may take a small bribe
to overlook a breach of the law, but pro-
lection can no longer be purchased, for
the next moment the offender may fall
into the clutches of the law. An offender
may succeed in propitiating a patrolman.
but this will not prevent a raid from
headquarters.
This is indeed the largest and most
promising gain than can be reported.
New York possesses a police administra-
ton absolutely honest at the top. The
force too, has been immensely improved
in~morale by the improved tone at head
quarters II this can be continued, and
IL the work of the police force receives
Intelligent public support, what has so
far been accomplished will become a per-
manent gain.
Vice will not thereby be destroyed,
but its commercialized exploitation on a
large scale will be reduced to a mini
mum"
