fall and it attoined a good growth be-

a big yield. Then came the hot, dry

bushels he feels that his fears were

SO far reported, although there are
many other fields in the valley that

Though we talk of Marcel waves as
one Of the browning features of the
new hair dressing. we may think it
rather strange when we learn that
ivory carved images from tombs as
old as $500 B. c., were found in Egypt.
Evidently these are portraits of great
ladies who were buried in Abydes. On
three of the images the hair ahngs
long in back, but the top and sides are
beautifully marcelled as well as part
of that which hangs down the back
These images are supposed to be re-
pleas of the souls of the dead and the
hair is evidently dressed as when the
person was alive; it was a current be-
lief that Immortality lasted as long as
the tomb was undisturbed.
Fashions may be inspired by old
styles, but there are so many modifi-
cations and changes that finally there
only remains a semblance that one
might call after the style of certain
period" though the coiffures may be
taken from the period of 1880 the
characteristics then were hardness and
stiffness, which in our day is replaced
by lightness and irregularity-the lat
ter which is infinitely more artistic.
The new vogue in ceiffures is marked
by elaboration for dress wear. Dame
Fashions dictum that the hair should
be beautifully waved in soft, large,
loose waves has been needed. The
curling iron should only be hot enough
so that the fingers can hold it with
hai, h,rrr fol-
tie longer, but the result is just as
pleasing. If the hair is inclined to be
curly wave may be produced by
dampening the hair and inserting side
combs for a short time.
If your face is long and thin, have
your hair puffed at the sides, for it is
ever so much more becoming. The
one with a high forehead can part her
hair and draw it back as full as pos
sible from the sides of the face, while
the one with a low forehead should
wave her hair loosely and carry II
back to the crown Of the head, ar.
ranging it in a figure eight or loose
coil. The pompadour with it's many
variations is still with us. But ir
dressing your hair be careful of the
line about the ears. Be sure and take
a profile look before being satisfied
with the result.
No one fashion prevails. You may
wear your hair high or low, as fancy
dictates, but every strand must FIND
its place, for no loose locks are toler
alter. The hair is kept close to tn,
head in most instances. A style be
coming to many has the hair brough
high to the top of the head, with
small low pompadous over just on
side The simpler low styles are bes
liked for day time wear as they ar
much easier to achieve.

Tho Snread of Evil

The general tendency Of evil is to-
ward FURTHER evil. Bodily illness rem
ders the body more susceptible of dis
ease; it produces incapacity of exer-
ton, sometimes debility of mind, and
often the loss of means Of subsistence
Poverty is the parent of a thousand
mental and moral evils. What is still
worse to be injured or oppressed
when habitual, lowers the whole tone
of the character One bad action leads
to others, in the agent himself, in the
bystanders and in the sufferers. All
bad qualities are strengthened by hab-

AVERT NATION
WIDE STRIKE Of
SHIP BUILDERS
tzy unaaed Ersus.)

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2l.-A nation
wide strike in steel ship yards working
on government contracts will be pre-
vented by wage increases paid by the
government.
In his first clash with organized labor
on war work Uncle Sam will recognize
the claim that increased cost Of living
warrants a higher wage scale.
This developed today from the diff
Guilty into which the requisitioning of
ship construction faced the shipping
board. Ship yard owners refused to
make new wage scales with the Inter
national Metal Trade Union until the
shipping board approves the increases.
The final decision is to be left to a spe-
cial commission of three members-one
appointed by President Wilson. one by
President Gompers Of the American
Federation Of Labor and the third men,
ber to be appointed by the shipping
board.
