Why Society Women Wash
Their Own Hair

Few realize how many society women
now wash their own hair, not because u
is fad but because they wish to obtain
the greatest possible hair beauty and be
sure they are not using anything harm
full The thousands who have found
that in washing the hair it is never wise
TO use a makeshift but is always sd-
viSsble to use a preparation made for
shampooine only, say they get the best
results from simple homemade can
throx mixture. You can enjoy this, the
best that is known, for about three
cents a shampoo BY getting some can
throx from your druggist, and dissolv-
ing teaspoonful in a cup Of hot water.
Your shampoo is now ready. After
its use the hair dries rapidly with uni
form color. Dandruff. excess oil and
dirt are dissolved and entirely dissp-
pear Your hair will be so fluffy that IL
will look much heavier than il IS. Its
luster and softness will also delight
you, while the stimulated scalp gains
the health which insures hair growth

about him but did not suspect
anything had happened to him.

Finger Print Deposits

their finger prints has been for a
long time a recognized police
practice, but it is only within re-
cent months that this method of
Identification has been put to
more constructive use.
1t has been the custom in
most banks to refuse to take ac-
counts unless the depositor
could sign his name. Thus many
foreigners and even a few Amer
leans, who have never learned
to write, were barred from open
ing savings accounts.
In number of banks IN large
cities, however, the finger print
system has been adopted, and
persons who have never learned
to write may now open savings
accounts. The fingers of the
right hand are pressed lightly
on a glass plate that has been
covered with specially prepared
ink. The impression is trans
ferred to a card, which is filed in
the bank. Then, whenever a
depositor wishes to draw out his
money, he can easily identify
himself by his finger prints. 1t
is believed by the institutions
that have installed the new
method that it will always be
used for minors, because the
markings on the hand form a
far more reliable means of ident-
ification than the signature.
Handwriting changes with ma.
turity, but the finger markings
remain the same from youth to
the end of a mans life. One of
the phenomena of life is that out
of millions Of finger prints that
are on file in the cities of the
United States, no two finger
prints have ever been found that
are exactly alike.

Appeal For Aid for Flood Suf.
81 fers

That there is destitution and
need in certain flooded districts
of Western North Carolina,
especially in Ashe, Wilkes, Al
legheny, Watauga counties on
the upper waters of the Cataw-
Iba and Yadkin river valleys, is
the information received by The
eObserver and along with the in
formation comes the request for
outside aid. Governor Craig
has issued a proclamation ap
pointing a State committee to re-
iceive and handle funds and to
the end that The Observer may
cooperate, it urges such of its
readers that may feel constrain-
ed to aid in this enterprise to for
ward subscriptions to this paper,
which will make the proper ac-
acknowledgements or send them
TO the State committee in Raj
.eigh direct.
The need is said to be very
great and the situation is such
that instant action is imperative.
In these mountain counties
where there are so many streams
and where the people made their
homes for the most part in the
valleys, the destruction of prop
serty and the isolation of com.
fmunities has been much greater
than elsewhere. In many of
these localities the devastation is
said to have been on a parity
with the Catawba valley in the
actual path of the flood. Forum
ately for the lower reaches of
river, few people resided on the
blanks of the stream and hence
escaped, but in the mountainous
sections conditions were differ
.ent.

Great Poet, James w. Riley.
Dead

indianapolis, Ind, July H.
James Whitcomb Riley, the Ind
lana poet, died this evening.
Riley suffered from the ex-
treme heat all day but was
thought to be resting easy to-
night. He asked his nurse for a
drink of water at IL o'clock.
When she returned with it he
was dead.
Death was due to stroke OF
paralysis.
Riley, born of the Middle
West, sang the joys, sorrows,
fancies and humors of its folk,
largely in its own dialect. The
world was so touched by his
inspiration and the realism of
his homely symbols that he was
one of the few, that, devoting
their lives to poetry, gained a
fortune.
Riley was peculiarly sensitive
as to the advance of age and
eyaded inquiries as to the date
OF his birth but the most accu-
rate information available indi-
Gates that he was born in 1S4S.
Should you ask his age" one
OF his friends said, ''he would
answer This side of forty and
leave you to guess which side"

Coolest Over Equator.

Geographical Review.
Winds blow not merely along
the surface of the earth, but up-
ward and downward throughout
the atmosphere. They whirl
about in directions. So it is i'm
possible to construct weather
chart that will really show the
direction of the winds, for such
a chart would have to be in
three dimensions.
Prof. Alexander McAdie of
Harvard describes some of the
fecent experiments in the upper
Rair performed BY sounding bal
looms. The atmosphere has,
roughly. two layers, the lower
called the troposphere and the
upper, the stratosphere.
The statosphere is highest over
the equator and lowest over the
poles, but its height varies with
the season. AT the equator"
says Prof. McAdie, "as we rise
in the air the temperature con-
tinues to fall to a much greater
height than in temperate lati-
tudeS. Indeed, the lowest tenn
perature is found above the
equator"

Monroe Enquirer.
Clerk of Court r. w. Lem
mond in re-filing old county pa
pers last week ran across a
number of papers and instru-
ments that are not only interest
ing from the standpoint of the
sentimental references they
make but from the information
they give that has been practic-
ally forgotten by the people of
the present age.
Few persons in Monroe or
Union county remember that
something like 20 years ago a
man had to give a heavy bond
before he could get married, nor
is it we'll known fact that the
money standards here were
made out in the old English
pounds, shilling and pence sys-
tenn.
An old paper telling of the
marriage of Mr.. w. Nj. Richard
son and Miss Jane Laney will
strike deep interest to the many
descendants of this venerable
old pair, both of whom have
passed to the world beyond, but
just fead how their marriage Ii
cense was worded:
State of North Carolina,
county of Union. Know all men
by these presents: That we, w.
M. Williams and Russell Rogers,
in the State aforesaid, are held
firmly bound to the State of
North Carolina in the just and
full sum of Five Hundred
Pounds, current money of the
State: To the which payment,
we'll and truly to be made and
done, we bind our heirs, execu-
tors and administrators. Sealed
with Our seals, and dated this
10th day of March, 1874.
The condition OF the above
obligation is such, that whereas
'thesabs'ves bounder, VIM. Rich
ardson, hath made application
for a license for a marriage, to
be celebrated between him and
lane Laney, of the county afore-
said: Now in case 1t shall not
appear, hereafter, that there is
any lawful cause to obstruct the
said marriage, then the above
obligation is to be void, other
wise to remain in full force and
virtue.

ence of w. M. Richardson, R.

Some years ago, when Nan
sen, the explorer, visited this
country after his return from
one of his Polar expeditions, he
was the guest of honor at re-
ception given by a women's
club in Philadelphia. The men,
bers passed him in single file to
shake his hand and express their
pleasure at meeting him.
Presently there came along a
little middle aged woman, plain.
ly in a high state of embarrass-
ment. Nansen took her hand
and bowed his head to hear
what she might have to say.
Owl-eyed, she stared at him
without word. There was an
awkward pause. 1t was the lady
who broke it.
"Oh, Mr.. Nansen," she blurt-
ed, "our cook is a Scandinavian
too!"
