WHAT'S WHAT
By HELEN DECIE

In these times of widespread unem-
ployment, every advertisement for Help
Wanted" receives hundreds of answers.
Tho advertiser classfes these by process
OF elimination. For instance, II he has
a preference for neatness, legibility and
clearness of expression, ho will discard
all the reply-letters which are slorenly
in appearance. scribbled with n pencil
or a bad pen and expressed in awkward
phrases.
A letter applying for q position should
state the writer's qualifications clearly.
II references are required. these should
be named, or II may be stated that ref
erences will be given in an interview.
In these times, 1t is advisable to leave
the question of salary to the employer.
The applicant must not be too timid
about stating his qualifications for the
Job advertised. This is one occasion
when It is wise policy to- put all the
goods in the window" since the ad.
Vertiser has no other means OF learning
the stocN.in.trade of the applicant.

What Happens
1V1en you shampoo our zUay

The first result is softness you have never
before experienced after washing. The usual
dryness and brittlencss are absent.
Your hair is glossy and silky in texture
every strand CLEANS. Most important, your
scalp is purged from every trace of dandruff.
Only palm and olive oils can accomplish
such results. They have been famous since
Clcopatra's day for their soitenng, beauti-
Tying qualities both on hair and skin.
These costly oils, imported from overseas,
arc the basis of Palmolivc. Their combina.
ton produces the soitenng, bcautfying
shampoo.
