How to Judge a
Woman by Her Hair

There are always the well-known
and semi-humorous methods, such
as saying brunettes are quick-tem-
pered or blonds are keener in their
mental activity But there is real
common sense in just noticing whether
the hair is well-kept to judge a wo-
mans neatness, or in looking at her
style of arranging her hair, to decide
whether or not she has good taste If
you are one of the few who try to
make the most of your hair, remember
that it is not advisable to wash the
hair with any cleanser made for all
purposes, but always use some good
preparation made expressly for sham
poolng. You can enjoy the very best
.by getting some canthroX from your
druggist and dissolving teaspoonful
in a cup of hot water when your sham
poo is all ready. After it's use the
hair dries rapidly with uniform color.
Dandrutf, excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear. Your
hair will be so fluffy that it will look
much heavier than it is. It's lustre
and softness will also delight you,
while the stimulated scalp gains the
health which insures hair growth

1lty officials today expressed the
belief that {. NJ. Haas, secretary of
the Commercial club, was without
complete information as to the city's
stand in the water rate case.
Officials stand by their original con-
tention that such rates should be fixed
for concerns having consumption of
more than $4,000 gallons Of water,
meeting the deficit on those corpora
tions which had failed to reduce their
fire hazards by installing the auto
matte sprinkler systems.
They took issue with Mr. Haas
statement that the commission order
ed the city to pay 80 per cent of the
water company's total revenue. In
the original order, based upon valu-
alton of $750,000 it was found that the

MOORE'S EXPLANATION
OF TORRID WEATHER

The only chance of this territory
getting any temporary relief from the
great hot wave which has settled
down on it is through thunderstorm
which may come at any time and
which may not come at all This in
formation was given out today by
Weatherman Moore.
The great hot wave is due to a great
area of high barometric pressure from
.he Atlantic ocean and the central
part of the Bermuda islands. 1t shows
no signs of breaking up. Low baro-
metric pressure over the great west
ern plains is causing generally clear
weather throughout the Mississippi
valley.

city was paying 80 per cent of the
companys revenue of $4,000.
Recently the valuation for rate max
ing purposes has been increased to
$S50,000. City officials point out that
the city should not be required to
meet 80 per cent of the increased
revenue demanded by this new valua-
ton This, they say, would make the
cost of fire protection in Richmond
exhorbitant because the city has not
expanded in size enough to warrant
payment of any additional amount.
