Keeps Hair Curly in
Most Trying Weather

You needn't worry about damp or
windy weather smelling the wayv
appearance of your hair if YOU use
the silmerine' curling method And
you can dance all evening without
having your tresses stringing all
about your face.
If you've never tried this simple
method by all means procure a
bottle of liquid silmerine from your
druggist and follow the accompany
ing instructions. 1t will enable you
to have just the prettiest waves and
curls, so natural looking no one will
guess they were artificially pro-
duced. The curlincss is quickly ac-
quiTed and lasts considerably longer
than where the heated iron is used.
When the hair is combed out it will
be delightfully."- soft and fluffy. The
life, lustre and beauty OF the hair
are preserved by the use of this
hal mless product. Therefore il is
also priced as n beneficial dressing
for the hair. 1t is quite pleasant
to use and leaves no sticky or
greasy trace.-Adv.

NEW YORK. Aug. 2H--With the re-
turn to New York today of Samuel

Grafton of Labor, the real crisis is eX-
pected IN the actors strike, which has
spread to the musicians and stage
hands and threatens to result in the
formation OF a playwrights' union.
with approximately 12,OCO Equity
actors on strike. nineteen theaters
and three roof gardens closed here,
and eight theaters dark" in Chicago,
the prospect of an early settlement OF
the controversy is remote.
A complete deadlock between ac-
tors and managers was maintained
throughout yesterday. At strike head
quarters the demand of Daniel FrOh-
man for mediation was scOffed at, and
il was said that with the return to-
day OF Gompcrs, the managers would
be forced to capitulate.
To Confer Tonight

and the labor leader will be held this
evening and arrangements will be
completed to call out every scenic
artist in the state.

day in the attempted formation of a

as the latest idea to germinate from
