CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
SECRETARY STUDYING
PAST HISTORY AUGUSTA

History has been studied for many
reasons and from many standpoints
but an entirely new viewpoint will
the Chamber of Commerce in his
presentation of "Augusta-Past, Pres
ent, and Future" before the Augusta
Current Events club Friday after
noon. Augusta history is replete
with examples of civic enterprise. of
COR bined efforts, of able and disin-
terested leadership that - ought to
prove an inspiration to her citizens
of today. Using these examples as
starting place, present needs of the
city will be pointed out, with lay
irg out of broad general lines along
which the city of tomorrow ought to
grow. incidentally a high school
survey taken last April shows much
dissatisfaction among the young
people with their city. a dissatisfac-
ton that is based on lack of appre-
citation of the city and its opportuni-
ties. The actual answers to the
question, DO you plan to remain-4n
eff not, why not?" will
be read at this meeting and their
discussed. It is in lust
such study groups as these that the
possibility of development con-
sciously a greater and better city is
to be found.s Other cities will be
studied in turn by this club during
the winter months.

The Hair-Desfrowng
Curling Iron Passes

The heated iron makes the hair dry
and parched looking. burns off the
ends, giving a most untidy appearance.
Youaw who have learned this from ex-
perience will be glad to hear of a
very simple, method which is open to
none of the objections referred to and
which gives better results than the
curling iron.
Just get a. few ounces of plain liquid
silmerine at your druggists and apply
q little with a clean tootA brush be-
fore doing up the nair. drawing the
brush down one stlahd at time from
root to tip. In three shours your hair
will be as beautifully wavy and curly
as though Mother Nature did it, and
it will be quite manageable, no mat
ter what style of couture you adopt
The effect will be much prcttier than
IL you used waving iron, will last
much longer. and the health Of your
hair will not suffer. Silmerine is not
sticky or greasy, but Is quite pleas
ant to use.-Adv.

kept up later in the fall than any
other course of New England. The
sandy soil of the coruse makes this
possible.
