Hurry Call for Engines.
-Four engines and two chemical
trucks responded, but before they ar

out and the flames were raging i'll the
second story.
Hose attached to the hydrant on the

correspondence exchanged between
President Wilson and William Gibbs

number Of pertinent and impertinent

First. why does Mr.. McAdoo resign

Mr.. McAdoo's friends had answers

particle of soap has been removed. Then dry it thoroughly in the sunlight and air if possible.
 Should a diseased scalp be the cause of the hair losing it's health and beauty consult a hair specialist at once. In many instances it will be found that dandruff has formed which is robbing your hair of it's life and causing it to drop out. This con- dition of the scalp is not one to be treated by an amateur. If you desire to preserve the beauty of your "crowning glory" consult some one who is thoroughly familiar with hair ills.
 Unhealthy hair is often split at the ends and or an, uneven length. To get rid of the split. ends it: is some times advisable to singe the hair. This is done by rolling the strands of the hair into hard, twisted ropes, and holding a lighted taper to the scraggy ends, which stick out like the bristles of a brush. They will only burn as far as the twisted hair. Cutting halt an inch from the ends of the hail every two months will keep it an ever length.
 It is most important to spend lit. tie time each day in caring for the hair. Why not begin now to give i the treatment it deserves?

the blood through the scalp. To get the best results from brushing, divide the hair into strands, and then brush each section separately. It is also very important that the brush be kept scrupulously clean.
 The hairs get their sustenance from the scalp. You can aid by massaging the scalp systematically with the fin gertips. If the scalp is dry, rub vase line or castor oil into it while mas saging. Persons who do not care to use this form of tonic can apply a liquid tonic made according to the following formula:
 Pheno1 ..-.-.....-.- 1-2 dram
 Tincture of mux vomica 1-2 grains Tincture of cinchona 1 ounce.
 Tincture of cantharides 1-2 dram
 Cologne ....-.......-... 4 ounces
 Sweet almond oil --.... 2 ounces
 Apply to the roots of the hair with a soft toothbrush or small sponge, once or twice a day. This tonic is particularly good for very dry hair.
 Sometimes the oil glands of the scalp are .overactive and the hair be- comes heavy and greasy looking. Tc remedy this condition the following tonic is excellent:
 Sulphate of quinine 1 dram.
 Rosewater ounces.

BEADS MUCH
 USED ON HATS

Beads are effectively used on many of the new hats. Sometimes beaded ornaments are used and sometimes the beads are embroidered directly on the hat. One charming hat of cream colored georgette shows dora1 colored beads fastened in rows around the rim with heavy floss.
 Beads are likewise as much used on the new frocks as if they were dis tinctive note of this seasons fashions. As we all know, they are not new this season but have been shown in ajbund- ance on the frocl1s of the last year or so. Colored beads are much used on very light frocks of georgette that are now worn at the southern resorts.
 A new touch is the chain of beads and silk braid braided and woven to- gether to be worn about the neck with white fblouses. It may also be worn with a navy blue serge rrock to strik- ing advantage.
