RAISE THEIR QUOTA
Methodist Churches Collect Money for
Superannuate Fund.

Practically every Methodist church
in San Antonio has raised its full
quota for the first year in the super
annuate endowment fund campaign and
many of them have raised more than
the required amount, il was found at
a meeting of the Methodist pastors.
The whole fund is to be raised in
five years and the drive being con-
Quoted now is for the first years quota
which many of the churches have al
ready over-subscribed with the can
vass still incomplete.
A total of 81, 456.37 had been raised
until the time of the meeting Sum
day. OF this the Travis Park Metho-
dist Church has raised 81, 1921, the
Laurel Heights Church $500 and the
Alamo Church S420.
Others who have not completed their
canvass have raised the following
amounts: Prospect Hill, $40; South
Side. $3.50; Los Angeles, S123; Wood
lawn Place, $3.50; Government Hill,
SAL.
Some of the churches are building
and these plans will prevent them
from raising their budgets Immediately
but will raise them before the five
year period is up. The Denver Heights.
Mckinley Avenue and few other
churches will complete their campaig
for the year before Easter. Brooks
Memorial Church will raise its quota
later and Alamo Heights as soon as
it is free from its building program,
which is taking great deal of at
tention.

Be Careful What You Wash
Your Child's Hair With

If you want to keep children's hair
in good condition, be careful what
you wash it with.
Many soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much free alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and is very harmful. Mulsified cocoa
nut oil shampoo (which is pure and
entirely greaseless), is much better
than anything else you can use for
sbampooing, as this cannot possibly
sinjure the hair.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in. Two or three teaspoon
5uls will make and abundance of rich,
treamy lather, and cleanse the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather
sinses out easily. and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex-
cess oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky.
bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to man
age.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo at any drug store. 1t Is
inexpensive, and a few ounces viii
last for months.

"a or Lake Shore Demand Midsummer Attention

to be perfectly translated by her own
coquetry. There is hardly a shape of
hat offered by the milliners but what
has been adopted as a possible bath
ing hat. Since all hats it closely over
the hair nowadays, it is not difficult
to adapt their shape to those hats
which must fit SO close as to exclude
dampness. OF course, trimmed or
brimmed hats are never chosen by
the woman whose bathing costume is
first and foremost a costume for
swimming. One rather sensational
peacock bathing costume had for head
trimmed with large peacock feather
held in position with a silver buckle.
Hardly a hat for the swimmer.
Tho slip-on sweater as an accessory
for the bather is something that
ought to make a strong appeal to the
more sportsmanly among bathers.
Such a sweater should have long,
close fitting sleeves and should fit
fairly high at the neck and should. of
course, be made of wool. 1t is then
far better safeguard against chill
ing effects of the cool air after the
ocean dip than a cape or wrap of
flowing though more generous pro-
portions. Another practical sort of
wrap for the straightforward bather
is the long wrap of terry cloth. These
may be laid out on the sand to serve
rs beach rugs or used as capes. And
one terry cloth cape is also fitted up
to do as a carry-all for bathing cos
tune and accessories. When rolled
up and tied, the bather can easily
transport her bathing costume to and
from the bathing beach.
Well liked by the short-haired girl,
who wants a head covering that gives
real protection, is the little rubber
turban or bonnet that ties closely un-
der the chin or is fastened with.
straps fitted with snappers. Roman
striped ribbons and silks seem to
have found their way in generous
numbers to the bathing hats and caps
Of tho season and are used as bands
or bows on many caps Of rubberized
silk or satin

Put Out Your Fires!

IAN auto took them riding through
splendid wood.
4 luncheon set them eating around a FIRE
30 good,
They left it burning freely when they
went away,
City simps Burn Forest the papers said
next day"
The city simps." who read the
jingle. laughed heartily, not so much
because of the rhyme itself. but be-
cause Of the very clever and gayly-
colored cartoon which accompanied it.
They had been arrested at the cross
roads that led to a forest tract by
the flaming colors of the big poster.
OF course, it amused them-as it was
supposed to do. And 1t also lodged in
their memory a little resolve not to
leave their campfire burning-as it
was also supposed TO do.
Forest fire prevention posters are
the newest thing in publicity against
the great annual destruction which
threatens our western woods 1t has
been reckoned that forest fires black
en- 5e million acres every 1--WE years;
that they destroy lumber and rob
the home builder; that labor is di-
verted by them and industry is dis
rupted; that they impede production
and rob the community. Yet this man.
moth loss is in nearly every case due
to the care1essness of man.
A forester, o. T. Hazard, who felt
keenly the ruthlessness of campers
toward the great fire menace, arrived
at the conclusion that most of the
literature published in connection
with forest fires contained an official
tone which nettled its readers. He
then set about to find some way of
presenting the facts which would
meet the public fancy. The jingles
and cartoons were the solution. With
Russell Henderson, a newspaper and
advertising cartoonist, he worked out
six or eight varieties of posters which
have been printed and now are set
UP on the forest highways to amuse
and teach wayward fre-builders.

Stains on Tile Floor.

To remove stains from a bathroom
floor, in front of a fireplace, or other
place which cannot be removed by
ordinary washing. il is a good plan
to rub the tiles with a mixture of
turpentine and candle wax. Put the
turpentine into an old cup and stand
the cup in a bowl of hot water. Then
melt a little of the wax in tin and
pour this into the warm turpentine.
Allow about one part of the wax to
ten parts of turpentine. Stir the mix
ture and use it in a warm state, rub
bing it well into the tiles with a
cloth. The whole surface should be
treated, but special attention must be
paid to any very dirty places. Marks
which have resisted all other treat
ments can be remedied in this way,
and the general appearance of the
tiles will be very much improved.

Interestingly enough tho most
striking and most talked about bath
ing costumes of the season are not
the most abbreviated. There arc So
called beach pajamas in, terry cloth
that are regarded as among the
beach "sensations" of the season.
And these are made with fairly high
necks, long sleeves and wide trousers
extending we'll over the ankles. In
itself it seems quite the most modest
costume that a woman could choose.
Yet the young girls who appear on
the beaches this summer in these
most uncoquettish of costumes will
doubtless be looked upon As most
daring.
Many observers would concede that
quite the smartest costumes that
have appeared on the beaches this
spring and summer are those with
high neck and long, close sleeves. A
close kin to this is the suit with
close, high neck. but left sleeveless.
Made of black satin or taffeta. these
smart suits are usually buttoned
trinity up the middle Of the front.
There is hardly fabric that has
not been turned to account in the
making of beach costumes or &C
cessories. Long past are the days
when only a certain limited list OF
materials was regarded as appropri-
ate.

THERE Is more to the. seashore
than the sea. And SO there is
more to ones seaside or lake
side wardrobe than a bathing
suit. :.
Important as sea or lake bathing
Is. and important as the clothes arc
for this diversion, more important
still are the clothes one wears OUT
side the bathing hours.
Never before, perhaps, have there
been so many becoming and at
tractive clothes for summer vaca-
tion wear. All the. striped silks.
the colored nanncls. the white
heather. the myriad weaves of cot
ton and linen are appropriately In
cluded in ones trunkfuls of vaca-
tion clothes. And colors that would
be quite scandalous in the city are
only in good taste and repute in
the bright sun OF the waterside.
One clever woman, who likes to
dress well. but who dislikes spend
ing more time than necessary over
planning her clothes. has had six
frocks of colored pongee silk made
color, mauve, pale green, brown and
soft blue. They are made in the
simplest sport style, with turnback
collars bound with white, and with
bound buttonholes and white bone
buttons as the only trimming.
This is a good idea-the idea of
two or more frocks of a kind. Choose
style and fabric and colors that are
becoming, and then there will be
something distinctive and interesting
about your morning frockS. You
could do the same thing with ging-
ham or with striped silk or with
flannel
We are in an interesting period.
SO far as sleeve lengths are con-
cerned. We may wear them long
we may wear them short. Fashion
sanctions either sort.
At the shore a good many women
choose long sleeves this year, be-
cause they are a protection against
sunburn.
Parasols are revived to a certain
extent each summer, especially in
the glaring sunshine of the seaside.
But we are, somehow, not a race of
parasol lovers. At least, We are not
in an age when the parasol is a ma
tural outlet for woman's love of
finery. Some of us find parasols al
most as burdensome as we should
find the long chiffon wells with which
our mothers or grandmothers swathed
their faces when they braved the
sim of the
Therefore we choose long-sleeved
frocks and coats to ward off sun
burn.
When you wear a short-sleeved
frock, you can do much to protect
the arms by using a scarf or one
of the little capes that are hardly
more than scarfs. There are in
Vulnerable variations to the scarf,
which still bears the distinction of
being both popular and smart.
