Why do we claim to be a free
people when we are all the time
buying things we do not want or
need? Some group of dress MAX
ers back east decide that women's
dresses should be shortened one
year. and every woman, except a
few of Spartan mould hike them
up to their knees. The next year
this same mysterious authority
says that dresses shall be longer,
reaching below the shoetop and
the women leap as one woman to
let 'em down. Why do not the
women insist upon elections to
determine who shall give orders
like this, and require the candi-
dates to run upon platforms, one
for short and one for lonr dress
es, and decide the thing by a
majority vote?

No More Gray Hair

Science again has scored a

Science again has scored a
triumph in the discovery of a
very remarkable liquid known as
Kolor- Bak. III you are gray, just
apply this liquid to the hair and
scalp and your hair will soon take
on the actual color it had in the
past. Not a trace of grayness
viii remain.
Kolor-Bak comes in the form of
a clean and colorless liquid, con-
tanning properties which quickly
restore the lost color to the hair
and give it renewed vigor. And
note that the one preparation is
for all colors of hair. No special
solution required for each color
no samples of hair required. ..
You will find also that with
Kolor- Bak the hair has the Same
shade throughout. 1t does not
appear streaked, faded or dyed. "
Every scientist, every physician,
knows that gray hair Is hair that
has ceased to receive its normal
supply Of coloring matter or pig
ment from certain tiny cells
(called follicles or papille) in the
scalp, because these cells have
become inactive from illness,
shock Of some kind, scalp disease,
dandruf, infection, neglect of the
hair, or lack of circulation, etc.
But no matter what the cause Of
the grayness, it is simply amazing
to see how it disappears when
Kolor- Bak is used. 1t is a real
substitute for the natural pig

should be part and parcel of our
educational system. But COM
mericialize it as has and is being
done in most of our institutions OF
learning Neverl
What occurs TO US as being
most hopeful view OF the present
situation, was urged in a report
made recently by Dean Douglas
Anderson of Tulane University, 10
the association of American Col
leges. The report was made fol-
lowing a survey of a large num-
Der Of the leading colleges and uni
yerSities.
Among the leading abuses
which the committee discovered
were commercialism, excessive cx-
penditure Of money. scouting for
athletes in preparatory schools,
too much newspaper publicity,
gambling and the over emphasis
on the part Of the alumni and the
general public of the relative i'm
pottance of athletics" Dean An
derson stated.
THE first step in eliminating
these abuses" declared Dean An
ccrson, IS to give the faculty con-
troll not only over the eligibility Of
players, entrance requirements
and scholastic training, but also
over finances, schedules and the
employment Of coaches. Each
coach would have the standing of
q full professor, under the plan.
THE average expenditure of
southern colleges for athletics is
$24,334, per year." the report
said. One institution last year
spent S109,797 for athletics. The
great and ever increasing cost of
conducting sports is one of the
gravest phases of the problem. 1t
eXaggerates the relative impor-
tance Of athletics. 1t should be
the serious business of each insti-
tuition to reduce these excessive
costs. A suggestion has been
made that gate receipts be elimi-
mated and admission to games be
made strictly a matter of invita-
ton"
