MUD WOMEN'S
HAIR DRESS
IN AFRICA

XYERY probably Eve had some
ideas on hair dressing. And
undoubtedly she many times
leaned over the bank Of a rivulet
In the Garden of Eden, gazed at
her reflection, and tried various
ways Of doing her hair.
Since the beginning Of time, in
all countries, and among all tribes,
the manner of hairdressing has
always been Of keen interest to
women.
Even in art the manner of ar
ranging the hair distinguishes the
period and country in pictures
and sculpture.
AS soon as a little girl realizes
that 1t Is her own image she sees
in the mirror, and II at the same
time she discovers a comb and a
brush, she instinctively attempts
to dress her hair.
And some of the hair-dressing
fashions have been and are aTnaz-
ing-not only as to form and
style. but because of height, pro-
pOFLlOnS ana the peculiar Ornar
ments worn in the hair.
Another surprising thing is the
list Of various curious herbs and
strange connections which women
have put on their hair in the
hope Of making it grow.
Castor oil has been a general
favorite for this use for long,
long time.
It is amusing to the traveller in
the Belgian Congo in Africa to
find that the black bellies Of that
part of the world believe firmly
in the virtue OF the oil of the
castor bean for hair dressing pur-
poses.
Whether this is done to encour-
age the hair to grow or for
beauty is an unsettled question.
Because they do not use castor oil
alone. Castor Oil is merely the
base for their pomade.
For there they "anoint their
heads with oil' and soak lit well
into the hair. Then they plaster
their hair thickly with mud. This
Is the smart coiffure among those
African beauties.
There in that wild country q
"woman's browning glory" is COM
pletely disguised by q thick pasty
clay Of unromantic mud and I'M
aromatic castor oil.

Lucy Lowell Would Keep Enough
Romance to Color the Edge

By Lucy Lowell.
of Reality

RK AYBE you'll remember the
little story. And again
AvA maybe you never listened,
Wide-eyed. with your heart a go
ing pit-a-pat and your small
hands, you were wee thing
then, you understand, folded close
as close, and your thoughts rae
ing to the tale Of the fir-tree
fairies.
It was on nights Of the full
moon that they danced, you'll re-
call, II you did listen.
They came out Of the moon
beams to the whispering pines,
and, oh, how their misty, floating
garments shimmered and shone
in the blue-white light.
They danced in a circle while
the grasshopper piped his mel
ody. They danced until the moon
began to sink into the gray feath-
er bed that lies somewhere over
the edge Of the world, waiting for
the little stars and even the
great sun after they've become
weary with travelling across the
great, blue arc over our heads.
Shimmering lovely fairies dane
ing under the fir trees! And IL
you wanted to prove it beyond all
possible doubt all you had to do
was to visit the Fir tree and see
how their twinkling feet had worn
away the grass beneath the fra
grant branches.
And If you had been quite
friendly with the story of the
fairies when you were a tot, it
explained ever SO many things to
you when you grew up.
The Washington times., 1923-04-05

What 1t is the signing pine
branches are whispering to the
wind, for one thing.
Why the tonic spice Of the tree
cures WEAKNESS and ills
Why Hope and Courage flutter
into every heart that loves the
fir, standing sturdy and proud
and faithful, always faithful. un-
der the sky.
You love it. don't you, just as
I do?
I've been thinking about it, you
see. since reading Of the terrible
winged-sea-serpent that now Is
rolling in the Sea of Marnora off
the Princess Isles.
Greek fishermen, whose blood
courses straight from the day of
Sappho and her imagery, have
seen the serpent.
A noble thing 1t is, all gold and
green with spreading silver wings
huge enough to toss an ocean
liner into the world beyond. Why,
even the commotion that follow
ed far behind the terrible creature
threw the Siri Sefain, their fish
ing craft, about like a toy ship.
And how frightened they were as
they made for shore.
OF course, the armed launches
the Greek government instantly
sent out haven't seen tip nor tale
of the monster as yet. Probably
they never will. though they may
find a very frightened whale.
But isn't there something rather
fascinating and likeable about 1t
all? Why don't we hold fast
to romance, just enough Of it to
border the edge OF reality with
color.

DIFFERENT WAYS OF DEALING
WITH THE HOT SCHOOL LUNCH

The idea of at least one hot dish at
the noon meal for rural children has
developed rapidly in the counties Of
North Carolina through the influence
of food production and food prepare
| ton demonstrations carried on by ex-
| tension workers. In some places
questions concerned with obtaining
materials for the lunch, equipment
for heating and serving it or time to
prepare it, have arisen. These have
been met in various ways, according
to a report received by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The Women's Club at Lilesville,
Arson county, N. c., partly financed
the hot school lunch last year, and
it was also supplemented by things
brought from home. Each teacher,
with the aid Of the larger girls, pre-
pared the hot soup for her own room.
The rural children enjoyed it immen-
sely, and all the town children want
ed to stay, too. In the summer $50
quarts of soup mixture and tomatoes
were canned by mothers and donated
for winter lunches.
In two schools in Halifax county
the larger girls do the work con-
nected with serving the hot lunch,
under the supervision Of the teacher.

MILK INSPECTION A HEALTH
SAFEGUARD IN MANY CITIES

The development of modern SAM
tary science and the increasing In
terest in public health have resulted
in many cities passing milk ordin-
ances and practicing milk inspection
for the protection of the community.
This has become more necessary as
the growth of our cities has COM
PEELED them to obtain milk at farms
at greater and greater distances and
has resulted in increasing the num-
Der of city milk plants.
There are three distinct and essen
tial features in successful milk in
spection, according to the United
States Department of Agriculture.
They are: Dairy inspection, dairy in

struction, and laboratory control
Dairy-farm inspection regulates the
conditions surrounding the source of
supply. Without it the safety of the
finished product cannot be assured.
This inspection also extends to city
milk plants and to the workers In
them. Dairy-instruction work Is
largely educational 1t teaches the
dairymen to know the proper meth
DDS of handling milk in order to as
sure its being of first quality, and
gives training in sanitary practices
| in and around the barn and milk
house. The milk laboratory enables
health officers to see that the quail
ity of the milk supply is maintained,
and enables them to control the var
ious methods used in production,
transportation, processing and deliv-
cry.
Studies of city milk supplies made
by the Department of Agriculture
show that most large cities have had
milk ordinances for comparatively
long periods. Some cities as large as
$4,000, however, have practically no
facilities for such work. This is
condition that needs attention, de-
partment workers believe, and should
be met by sanitarians and city Off
Gals as rapidly as possible.
The Bingham County news. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1918-1930, 1923-09-21

1t is so divided that only two or three
are taken away from classes at time.
When the girls are on duty they plan
their menus and see that the sup
plies are on hand.
In one community a woman gives
all the milk needed. Some if it is sold
for 3 cents glass. This money is
used to buy other supplies. All
lunch dishes are sold at cost. In
another place the children bring a
great many Of the supplies from
home, such as potatoes, canned toma-
toes, milk and eggs. No charge is
made for the hot dish. Considerable
improvement in the quality OF the
