The Care of the Scalp
(By United states Health servtce.)

(Dy United states Health Servfce)
ETERE are a few very important
L i things for you to know about
your hair, and the proper way Of car
ing for it:
First, and most important, is the
fact that except for the root the hair
is nothing but dead tissue.
It is the scalp and not the hair that
must be treated.
"Gray hair" cannot be cured, that
is. restored, except by dyes.
Badness cannot be cured, except on
rare occasions.
The scalp is just like the rest Of
the skin on the body, and should he
kept as clean as the face or the hands.
In order to do this the head should
be washed at least once week with a
good tar or sulphur soap. This will
not only help to keep the scalp free
from dandruff, but will open the pores
of the scalp and permit of the free
flow of oil to make the hair glossy.
1t is folly to have the hair singed as
it is entirely useless. So-called "hair
foods cannot ".nourish" the hair and
should be wisely avoided.
II YOU want pretty hair, keep the
scalp clean and healthy. Wash the head
and hair clean and rinse out all soap.
Then dry thoroughly with hot towel.
If the hair should become "dry" from
too much washing. apply a mixture of
grain alcohol and castor oil, about five
teaspoonfuls Of oil to the pint Of alco-
hol. This will restore the gloss to the
hair, and also act as an excellent anti
septic for dandruff.
When the hair persists in falling out
and bald spots appear, the fault is not
always with the scalp, but may be
some remote underlying cause. Con.
suit a physician instead Of barber,
as the falling hair may be symptom
of some disease he could readily rec
ognize and cure. Often when the hair
is falling out it is being replaced By
new hair.
Gray hair is caused by loss Of pig
ment, OF coIoring matter, and small all
bubbles getting into the hair and giving
it the white appearance. There is nc
way Of curing this condition, although
it may sometimes be prevented By
keeping the scalp healthy and clean
This is not always possible, however
as heredity plays an important part in
the tendency Of the hair to become
gray.

NOW KNOWN TO BE CLOUDS
Up to Year 1900 the Projections On
Mars Had Been Thought 20
Be Mountains.

The first observers Of projections on
Mars had attributed them to the same
cause that produces projections on the
moon-that is, mountains. Such they
were said to be in France and at Lick.
This view, however, was in 1892 dis
puted by w. II. Pickering, who consid-
cred them to be not mountains, but
clouds. This view was supported by
A. E. Douglass, who observed them in
1892 at Flagstaff, Ariz. The mountain
theory Of their generation was shown
to be untenable and their ascription
to clouds proved to be the correct
theory in December, 1900. Only sim
gle projection was visible in 1900, 1913
and 1905. AS mountain does not
change it's place, and as nothing was
seen where something had been Wis
ible, the phenomenon was proved to
not be a mountain peak. Now the only
other thing capable Of catching the
light before it reached the surface
would be something suspended in the
air-that is. cloud. Deductions,
therefore, from the rarity Of the phe-
nomenon alone showed that the pro-
jections must be clouds. Furthermore,
the projection was smaller after the
lapse of "a hours. The something that
caused it was not only not attached to
the soil, but was moving and dissipat-
ing as it moved along. Clouds are
the only bodies known to us which ac-
count for these metamOrphoses
Clouds, then, and not mountains, are
the explanation Of the projections OF
Mars.-"a1ars and It's Canals" By Per
ciyaI Lowell.

BUSY RE0RGhNZING
SAVINGS SOCIETIES
z IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Boys and Girls Who Did Such Fine
Work Last Year Soon Will Be
Active Again.

School boys and girls in all parts os
this State are reorganizing the say
ings societies which did sucn excellent
work last session, and it is believed
that even better records will be made
during this school year. In the nine
months of the 1919.1920 session more
than s2,315,000 was invested in Say
ings Stamps, Thrift Stamps and other
government securities in this districe.
In order that thrift in its various
phases might be taught to greater adj
vantage this session, Miss Mary G..
Shotwell, director OF the educational
division of the district War Loan Or
ganization, last summer visited all Of
the summer schools In Maryland, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia, North Carolina
and South Carolina, and was instru.
mental in having regular courses In
practical thrift incorporated in the
curriculum not only in the State sum-
mer schools but in the county schools
and teachers Institutes. In all, more
than $50 lessons and demonstrations
in thrift principles we're given to up
wards of 1000 teachers: Many OF
these teachers-most of them, very
likely-will correlate the thrift idea
with their class work this session.
The savings movement is being con.
Quoted in the schools, and elsewhere.
under the direction Of the United
States Treasury Department. Work
and Save" is one of the slogans. In
other words, effort is being made to
make everyone realize7;-particularly
the boys and girls OF today who will
be the men and women Of tomorrow
the Importance of increasing produc-
ton, of curtailing waste, of wise
spending, of systematic saving, and of
investing in such securities as govern
ment bonds, Savings Stamps and
Thrift Stamps.
Last session the hundreds OF saw
ings societies in this State gave ample
Aevidence Of the patriotism and intelji-
gent endeavor Of their, members. This
session, with the foundation already
laid and with the pupils knowing how
TO conduct their savings societies and
clubs, a record is anticipated Of which
the State will have good reason to be
proud.

In Savings Stamps, the. report from
washington shows, is more than

This is taken to indicate the steady
growth OF the thrift and savings
movement in the United States. Much

school children in the governments

by them, and a large part OF i

LONG LOST USE Of WINGS
Ground Parrot, Found Only In New
Zealand, Interesting to the Stu.
dent Of Evolution.

The wingless birds of New Zealand
sxe particularly interesting to the ma.
ture student as illustrating the process
Of evolution. Nowhere but In their
native land could these birds have
survived, and, therefore, nowhere else
would they have become wingless.
New Zealand is the only region on
earth where there are no destructive
animals. Being unable to fly, the birds
could not, Of course, have escaped
from any swift hunting animals suck
as abound in all other lands. 1t is in
teresting to note that the kakapo, or
ground parrot, once had the use Of its
wings, but being a grass seed feeder
and finding no enemies on the ground
gradually ceased to fly and eventually
lost the use Of its wings entirely,
though it can run very swiftly. These
birds are so gentle and so unconscious
OF having any enemies that if per-
son sits down near one and keeps quf-
ct it will presently tuck its head un-
der its wing and 60 to sleep. The
kakapo breeds but once in two years,
and the mother bird carefully hides
the nest from her mate, though why
she does so is unknown, the male
showing no desire to harm the. eggs or
young birds. In this infrequent breed
ing is demonstrated nature's thought
fulness-having no destructive ene-
mics the kakapo would multiply to too
great numbers if the breeding season
occurred as frequently as with other
birds.

''The Forbidden Woman Showing at Trianon, Is Based on Life of

'"rhe forbidden Woman" with Clara Kimball Young, which is playing at the Trianon all this week, is actually based on the life of famous European prima donna, whose name figured in French and Italian newspapers for many months just previous to the outbreak of the war
 Lenore J. coffey authoress of the story, was at the time of the wide publication resident of Naples, Italy She was living at Bertolinis Palace hotel far up the side of a mountain, just ~opposite Mount Nesuvius, and overlooking the Bay of Naples. Tn m adjoining suite was a mysterious young lady, who was rarely seen at meals and who spent most of her day on an iron balcony. and most of the time sobbing or crying,
 Miss Coffey, who was doing jour nalistic work, inquired as t6 the iden- tity of the young lady who seemed so beautiful yet so sad, and was informed that she was the noted prima donna, principal in the case then occupyin 2 public attention all over the continent, and that she had not only retired iron, public life, but that she had sacri- ficed a most promising career in opera. Miss Coffey, through the usual roper torial method, secured an interview won the confidence of the beautiful singer-and The Forbidden Woman was the result.
