Scientific Scalp Massage.

Many people pretend that the only
value In using hair tonics is the stim-
uIation that the necessary massage
gives to the scalp. This is not en-
tifely true. Certain conditions Of the
scalp can be overcome by the use
Of proper tonics when only a very
little bit Of rubbing is used. These
could not be overcome with even
tho most faithful massage.
A combination of both is the best.
Find out what your scalp needs IN
the way Of ointments or tonicS and
use them faithfully. At the same
time give the scalp sufficient massage
to keep 1t stimulated.
A little should be done every day,

What Are the Lighting Condition
in Your Home?

Not long ago explained to very
young housekeeper, who asked me,
the modern ideals Of home iilumina-
tion.. I carefully pointed out to her
the dangers of a direct glare of arti-
ficial light. and the benefits of the
new direct-lighting system. And she
said, THANK you, so much!"
But vest ,rday I dropped into her
new. little home lshe is bride)' and
found there the old fashioned lights,

semi-shaded bulbs throughout the

tured. "Oh. yes" she replied. Il did
think it would be nice-but one can't
have everything that's ideal. Most or
these lighting fixtures were wedding
presents and the rest were already In

What can one say to a viewpoint
like that? AS if the best were not for
each and every one of us? Further

Summer Colors.

Green has the reputation Of being
one of the coolest of colors. There is
something refreshing about the girl
in a green organdy frock or green
linen on a midsummer's day. But to
look coolest green should be worn
alone or with white. Combine it with
rose or blue or yellow or brown and
you have something that is anything
|. but refreshing on a warm day.
Pure white is supreme in very warm
weather, and every summer we find
that, after all other coIors have been
boosted and talked about and praised,
white wins out in the race. The COL
ored frocks are discarded sooner than
those of white. 1t is always your
pure white things that receive the
hardest wear on your summer outing
In general, blues, violets, and green's
are cooler than. reds, yellows or
browns. But. there are shades Of
lemon yellow or the real empire yell
low that look attractive even in warm
weather. For sports wear there are
shades Of rose and red that have
strong appeal in summer. though for
evening wear these shades are bet
ter left for winter.
In every woman's wardrobe there
should be some frock suitable for
street wear, made of some dark, cool,
silk fabric. A frock of this sort an
swers admirably for the unexpected
trip to town. that catches you with
your light clothes at the cleaners or
laundry, or undergoing renovation.
Moreover, the dark, cool, silk frock
looks spotless and fresh at the end
OF your trips as at the beginning.
Black is a good selection for the
woman who does not look insignifi-
cant or too pale in black. Navy blue
is good selection-though better for
this type of frock is the blue that is
darker than true navy. Brown in gem
eral is warm shade, but there is a

ASTOUNDING SETTINGS FEA-
TURE OF THE SHEIK'

One OF the most impressive features
of "The Sheik," George Melford's la
test production for Paramount, which
comes to the Liberty Theatre next
Wednesday and Thursday, are the
many magnificent and spectacular
settings in which the various scenes
are enacted. These include:
A remarkable conception of pub
lie section of the ancient City Of Car
thage under Roman rule: birdseye
shot Of the city Of Biskra, the Monte
Carlo OF che Algerian Sal,ara, taken
from minaret with Arab praying
in the foreground; fifteen actual shots
about the city of Biskra, especially
made for the picture by representa-
tive from Paramounts London stu
dio; picturesque African oasis, es-
pecially constructed on desert site
near Hollywood; complete Arabian
village stronghold of the bandit
chieftain, OMAR; the beautiful exotic
interiors, such as the interior of The
Sheik's tent and the desert palace Of
OMAR.
In the Carthage episode, which is
a vision in the picture, very unus-
ual effect is presented. Agnes Ayers,
playing the principal feminine role,
is shown as the naughty queen who
rules the city under Roman dominion.
When the scene first opens, it shows
the proud English girl, later to be cap
tured by the Sheik, encamped at night
among the ruins of Roman splendor in
the ancient city. There are broken pill
lars and crumbling ruins.
Then the girl becomes Carthagin-
ian queen, the architecture is re-
stored and scenes of splendor, peopled |
with the royal court, flower girls, |
harp girls, slaves, centurions and Ro-
man soldiers follow. This vision es-
tablishes the naughty, dominant char
acter of the girl, who insists upon TAX
ing a journey into the desert, despite !
her brothers objections.
The role of the Sheik is played by
Rudolph Valentino, the popular "Ju-
lilo" of 'The Four Horsemen of the
Apocalypse" The cast further in
cludes Lucien Littlefield, Adolphe
Menjou, George Wagner, Ruth Mil
Ter, Walter Long and F. R. Butler. !
