HER SMILE is
HER SAFEGUARD
American Red Cross Courier Is
Not Molested by Bandits
in Balkans.
FACES MANY Difficulties
Life of Balkan Courier Is Far From
SimpIe--TraveIs Take Her to
All Parts of the Intricate
Balkans.

Bucharest.--A New York young
woman, with a smile, dog and a tan
leather dispatch bag, is Drawing the
floods, torn up railroads, broken
bridges, snow-clad mountain passes
and all the other hardships that make
up the substance of present-day travel
in the Balkans.
She is Mrs. Helen Grannis, formerly
librarian in the New York Public
I library. The smile is the famous
Grannis smile that carries her through
all sorts of unexpected difficulties in a
country where difficulties are real.
That smile decided the American Red
Cross authorities to give to her a POI
sition as courier. The dog is a eau
casian shepherd, half wolf, which was
given to Mrs. Grannis by an admiring
Roumanian peasant woman. And the
dispatch bag contains valuable papers
for the American army and the Red
Cross which Mrs. Grannis delivers
from headquarters in Bucharest all
over the intricate Balkans.
Life Far From Simple.
The life of a Balkan courier is far
from simple. Railroads have been de-
stroyed everywhere. Bridges are lying
in the beds of streams. Roads in
many districts are morasses of mud.
Through the mountain districts roam
bands of comitadji who prey upon lone
travellers.
Mrs. Grannis he's braved her way
through everything. When she cannot
take a train she uses a donkey, a
camionette, cart drawn by a waite
buffalo. She is familiar with narrow
gauge railways that threaten to roll
Off the mountains into gorges. She
knows the wheeze and strain of a one
lunged river steamboat, painting
against a Six-mile current. She can
cross a bridgeless stream on horse
back or with a rowboat.
And with the nonchalance of a sub
way straphanger she drops from one
mountain top to another on the swing
ing aerial cables left behind by the
enemy armies of occupation.
Smile Takes Her Through.

Mrs. Grannis' travels start at Bucha-
rest. The cities she makes" include
Belgrade, Sarajeyo, Ragusa, Cettinje,
Podgoritza, Tirana, Scutari and Sa-
lonika. 1t does not matter to her. On
her latest trip she carried a letter
from the governor of Albania to Col.
Henry w. Anderson of Richmond Va,
Balkan commissioner for the Red
Cross, thanking the American people
for the relief work done in his country.
Her first work for the Red Cross
was with the bureau of personnel in
Paris. where she labored nights, days
and Sundays getting personnel off to
the front. She left Paris January 1,
1919, to join the Balkan commission,
and at length was permitted to take
the courier position which she insisted

Care of the Hair.

Women who have not the time or
money to take scalp treatments can
do about as much for themselves as
a specialist can do for them in the
treatment Of ordinary hair troubles.
Ten minutes attention given to the
hair and scalp each day IS more bene-
fetal than infrequent professional
treatments. The remedies for the
usual scalp and hair difficulties are
simple and inexpensive. It IS regu-
lar and persistent care that can be
depended on to repay the effort.
Cleanliness requires a shampoo at
intervals Of two to four weeks. If the
scalp is healthy and the hair sufficient
ly abundant this, with a brisk, brief
brushing every day win keep the hair
in good condition.
To Cure Dandruff.
Take a thimbleful of powdered re-
fined bOrax, let it dissolve in a teacup-
full Of water; first brush the head we'll
and then wet a brush with the solution
and rub the scalp well with it. Do
this every day for a week, then twice
a week, until no trace of dandruff is
found.
To Improve Hair.
The best shampoo for oily hair and
dry scalp is an egg shampoo, made by
adding one ounce of cold water to one
well-beaten egg; rub mixture well into
the scalp and on the hair, rinse in
warm water, then in cold water, dry
thoroughly apply a tonic and massage
the scalp for ten minutes. Each night
use tonic and massage for ten min
utes.
Stiff Hair.
The first remedy for woman whose
hair has begun to be stiff is to expert
ment nth slightly oily liquids until
she find one suitable. A lotion made
from one tablespoonful of glycerin,
half a pint of rose water, with ten
drops of tincture of benzoin added to
