The Less Hair on Our Heads
the More Elsewhere!

Our women bob their hair-for comfort,
it seems Bobbing relieves the scalp of
weight tension, and thus reduces the cir
culation there. Short hair needs less comb
ing and brushing, and this absence of slim
ulation is also detrimental to scalp ciroula-
ton If the hair is straight, our women
curl it every few nights, to keep the curls in
curls much. Others get their waves weekly
with hot irons. These also may not be
brushed and combed
At the same time, American women bathe
daily, giving their limbs thoroughrubbing,

for physical improvement.

1HoR. c. NESTLE, the worlds most
= Nf famous hair research authority,
wv after examining thousands of indi-
viduals, comprising many classes and ma
tions, has just brought to light conclusions
of utmost importance TO all of US whose first
duty to ourselves is beauty and charm.
American men and women, especially Of
the af1luent classes, produce more hair than
any other nation, some disoharging as much
as three ounces of hair every year. But it
must also be said that every year more and
more of this hair is discharged from the
limbs, and less and less from tbe bead.

The Nestle "LANOIL Wdye Is The
Only Solution

Badness or thinness of hair does not mean
less hair discharge, but merely perversc hair
discharge. 1t means transposition OF the
discharge to those follicles which are in the
active circulation areas. Therefore, brushing
and combing of your scalp is all important
to normal, healthy hair discharge there.
A Nestle ''LANOIL" Permanent Wave
gives you hair which you may brush and
comb Nay, which you MUST brush and
comb. And brushing and combing it will
give you real pleasure because such treat
ment will imtrose your hair. The handling
of Nestle-wavcd hair means more circula-
tion of your scalp, and therefore, naturally,
a greater dischar &c of hair there instead of
on other parts of the body.

Hair. Growth Depends on Circulation

Thereason for this is not far to seek Many
people think that our hair grows from the
scalp, but this isnot SO. The substance which
forms hair is merely deposited by the blood
which carries it, and is discharged on the
scalp only provided that the scalp attracts
sufficient circulation, in competition with
other parts of the body.
My accumulated evidence, drawn from
examinations conducted in Europe as we'll
as in our country, clearly shows that THE

scalp, THE bette, tbs hair g,owtb.

slieht Change In Plans Ordered

A slight change in the plans has had
to be made as result of what Lieut.
George c. Mcdonald and Lieut.. Victor
B. Bertrandias learned in flying the
cruiser Boston II to Pictou, Nova Scotia.
1t was originally planned that a direct
route between Pictou and Boston, Mass,
would be followed, a distance of 525
miles. In following this route it was
contemplated that the flight would be
made direct from Pictou to the Bay of
Fundy. overland for about 40 miles
after leaving Pictou, passing over Truro,
NAva Scotia. This has been found i'm
practicable, and the route which will be
followed, after leaving Pictou. is west
along the coast of Nova Scotia, border
.ne tho Northumberland Straits to Bale
ve~te. and from that body of water
south over q narrow strip of land to the
Cumberland Basin and along the west
ern shore Of the Bay of Fundy.
This change in the route lengthens
the distance between PictoL and Bos-
ton to 500 miles, and 1t will be i'm
practicable for the airplanes Of the
round d-the-vorld flight to make such
4 long hop after they have arrived 1t
Pictou. Their pontoons win be heavy

SEES GAMES,
 THOUGH BLIND
Atlanta FanrRegular Att tendant, Despite Lack
 Of Sight

ATLANTA, Aug. 3.-Whenever the crowd of baseball fans at Spiller's mark in Atlanta rises to its feet to cheer some scurrying funner or brand some unlucky umpire with scathlng epithets, in the stand directly behind the plate, yelling out the proper chores or passing out the appropriate razz, may be seen Paul DonehOO, blind cor Oner of Atlanta, who, despite what to some men would prove to be an 1n- surmOuntable handicap, thoroughly understands and enjoys each and ev- cry play the players make.
 DonehOO has attended ball games ever since he was boy, he declared in an exclusive interview, although not having gotten his enjoyment from them as have most of his fan friends through seeing the plays made.
 It's the noise of the crowd, he declared, that tells him what is hap pening.
 ''Why, close your eyes and try it yourself sometime" he told this cOrre- spondent, "and see if you can't tell whether some fellow has just slam med out homer or whether the umpire has made a bum decision. It's easy enough.
 ''I sit directly behind the plate be- cause then I'm more nearly in the center of the crowd. Before going to the game I memOrize the lineup of the teams and then by keeping count l can tell just who's up.
 When a play is made all I have 10 do is to listen-and not so very hard either. If some deep-throated fan nearby yells out step on it boy 1; stretch it home,' know right away so and so hasn't famed. Or, on the other hand, if hear say, what's eatin' you; that was a mile wide Throw him out; let me throw that bOttle!' Then I'm sure the umpire doesn't exactly measure up to the fans idea of competent and i'm partial judge.
 But interest in the game being played is absolutely necessary he warned. Once I attended a game be tween two teams with which was not familiar, but I didn't get a thing cut of it. You've got to be interested and then you can enjoy it whether you can see it or not"
 DOnehOO's baseball attendance fame recently earned for him the position of umpire in a game between local club teams. The game was benefit af- fair with a goOdly attendance, and the blind coroner safely umpired the plays throughout one inning without once having to ask for police protection.
 (Which is more than a certain reg Flar umpire on the southern circuit can boast" declared DonehoO.
 DOnehoO, whose ability to carry on real mans work despite his blind ness is manifested in his holding the position of city coroner, attends, he declared, on an average of 49 out oi every 50 games the home team plays here.
 Yes, about 49 out of 50, believe he said. But then anybody is liable to be sick some of the timer

GOLF TOURNEY
 STARTS TODAY
Edith Cummings Favored; Many
 SOutherners Enter

CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-The largest field in the history of the event will start tomorrow in the twenty-sixth annual women's western golf cham pionship at Onwenzia club, 152 having signified their intention to participate. Among the many champions from na- tional titleholder, Edith Cummings, down to premier girl golfers of vary ingly smaller baliwicks, these are listed to contend for title now held by Mir jam Burns of Kansas City:
 Mrs. Dave Gaut, Memphis; Mrs. Elaine Rosenthal Reinhart, Dallas l; Mrs. F. c. Let's, Onwenzia; Mrs. Per ry Fiske, Aurora, H.; Mrs. Melvin Jones, Chicago champion, and Mrs. Myra Helmer Pritchard of Battle Creek, former titleholders; Louise For dyce, Youngston, runner-up to Miss Burns last year; Mrs. H. D. Sterrett, Hutchinson, Kan. Mrs. J. H. Arm strong, Jackson, Miss. Virigina Pepp and Mrs. R. J. Kohn, St. Louis Miss Elsie McElvoy, Detroit; Bernice Wall of Oskosh, Wis, champion, and Mrs. R. c. Greenlease, Kansas City.
 The links is in fine shape and in practice rounds several good scores have been made. Though Miss Burns does not need to qualify owing to her title, she will play tomorrow for the low gross prize. Miss Cummings, who has never held the western title, is regard ed as a favorite, owing to the fine game she has developed in the past two years and the fact that the play is over her home course

STATES THIS AFTERNOON Annual Local Tennis !. Classic Begins At
 Two O'Clock

Play commences at 2 o'clock this aft ernoon in what promises to be the fastest tennis tournament ever staged in the city. There is more interest than ever before, the entries have been nu- merous and, all in all, the Cotton States tournament, which has become almost an institution, appears set for it's biggest session yet.
 Birmingham will have it's largest and most capable contending list in the his tory of the meet. Besides the Country club team, usually regarded as the Magic City's official representative, there are teams from the Alabama Pow CT company and Crane company, be- sides numerous independent, unattached competitors from the district.
 It is understood that Bessemer will send strong representation this year, while several other Alabama cities ex- pect to make a good showing. Foremost among these, of course, is Montgom- cry. The capital will place the largest share of her hopes in Bliss Edgar and R. E. Young, both of them veterans and highly efficient racquetsmen. Selma, Anniston and possibly others will at- tempt to retain the title for the "sHere We Rest" state.
 Lee Allen Brookes and Ray Lang, Birmingham's fondest darlings at the net game, are both in great condition for the struggle. Ever since the initia- tion of this affair, they have been among the first three or four rated and 1924 should prove no exception.
 Brookes' spectacular c0nrt-covering ability should show to it's finest advau- tage this summer. He is in excellent trim from a rather strenuous summer and is just at the peak of his form. Lang, with his bulldog persistence and tendency to rise to the occasion when he most direly needs his, best form, will be very dangerous. Only the last point in any set beats this player, and he has any number of last-minute Garrison finishes to his credit.
 Both of them are scheduled to enter the southern championships to be held next week at AsheviIle, N. C., where they are among the most deeply feared ccntenders. Most of the out-of-state stars entered here will travel hence to the Blue Ridge district for the big meet too, and local bugs are slated to wit ness, in all likelihood the future cham pion of Dixie.
 One glimpse at the Country club courts will convince the most finicky that they cannot be surpassed any where in the southland. They gre in absolutely perfect condition for the ( "l- ing tests. The brown and white e. 'r combination against the vivid summer foliage contrasts with remarkable beau ty. Rolled and re-rolled until they are fast as the proverbial chain lightning, they will offer barrier that should be a pretty definite test of anyone's ability in tournament of this kind.

DOMINION SOLONS

LONDON, Aug. 3.-Among tine many events in which King George and Queen Mary have participated dur ing members of the Dominion Parlia- minister hall adjoining the House of Commons recently was probably the most interesting to them. Here they met, informally, virtually all the lead ing members fthe Dominion Parlia- ments, who are visiting the mother country.
 The gathering was the first meeting between the king and his empire legis- lators. There were no formal speeches, just a homely chat between king and empire rulers.
 The king and queen were received at the entrance by the Lord Chancel- Tor, the speaker of the House of Com mons, Labor Cabinet members and other high officials, after which they were presented individually to the various overseas representatives.
