Admiral Benson who has reached
the highest rank in the United States
navy is said to have "fiunked" in
school. This is encouraging, young
man, but don't go "flunk' now just
to get in line for Admiral Benson's
place. Remember, "funking" was not
all the Admiral ever did.

Why SOCIETY WOMEN WASH
THEIR OWN HAIR

They do. not because il is q fad,
but because they wish TO obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and be
sure they are not using anything
harmful. They have found that in
washing the hair it is never wise 70
use a makeshift but Is always advisa-
bic TO use a preparation made for
shampoOing only. Many Of our friends
say they get the best results from a
simple homemade canthroX mixture.
You can Use this at a cost Of about
three cents a shampoo by getting
some canthroX from your druggist,
and dissolving a teaspoOnful in a cup
Of hot water. This makes enough
shampoo liquid to apply TO all the
hair instead of just the top of the
head as with most preparations. Dan
drum, excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear in the
rinsing water. Your hair will be so
fluffy that it will look much heavier
than it is. Its luster and softness will
also delight you.-Ady.

Venus are in benefic aspect. Uranus

There is a sign making for con-
fusion in financial matters and uncer-

1t is a lucky day for seeking posi-
tions and employment OF any sort,
provided the employer is not past
middle age. The old should be avoid
ed, as the stars are believed to be so
aspected that severity and lack OF

Under this rule women are believ-
ed to attract men easily. and through
their personal charms TO attain favors

The injury or death Of . prominent
man, who wi. be the victim of blind

This should be an auspicious date
for weddings, banquets and all Tesuvi-
ties that bring together persons OF
discriminating or refined taste.
A new fad that will compete with
