Just see how much their hair has to do with
their appearance.
Beautiful hair is not matter Of luck, it is
simply matter of care.
You, too can have beautiful hair, if you care
for it properly.
In caring for the hair, proper shampooing is
the most important thing
1t is the shampooing which brings out all the
real life and lustre, the"natural wave and color,
and makes your hair soft, fresh and luxuriant.
While your hair must have frequent and
regular washing to keep it beautiful, it cannot
stand the harsh effect of ordinary soaps. The
free alkal in ordinary soaps soon dries the scalp,
makes the hair brittle and ruins it.
That is why leading motion picture stars and
discriminating women, everywhere, now use
Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo. This clear, pure
and entirely greaseless product cannot possibly
injure, and it does not dry the scalp or make the
hair brittle, no matter how often you use it.

Taking this quotation in part as his text, James Harvey Robinson, late professor of history at Columbia university, in his recent book, "The Mind in the Making" has given us a "percentification' of the history of civilization of the world in terms of Here" and Now" which makes us look extremely young and little.
 He assumes that single genera tion of men has in 50 years managed to accumulate all that now passes for civilization-the further assump- tion being that the world Is five hun dred thousand years old. Each of the 50 years. therefore, would con form with ten thousand years of hu- man progress.
 "In this "percentification," 49 of the 50 years would be occupied in cave dwelling and in learning how to row and reap: six months of the fiftieth year in learning how to write in a crude manner. Three months more would have been occupied in learning how to write in some Ian guage besides hieroglyphics. Christi anity would be but two months olo i, the printing press a fortnight, the steam engine a week, railroading and steamboating two or three days, only yesterday would electricity have been understood and aircraft, the submarine and radio would have been unknown a few hours ago.
 This is a vivid "percentification" of our boasted civilization. Only within the last few months would we have learned how to live.
 Have we yet learned?
