HALF THE ROAD is YOURS.

An auto came rambling peace
fully along. Yes, it was Lizzie.
On the windshield we noticed small
card bearing the prominently, easily
read type: "Howdy. Half the road
is yours" That was a K. o. for
us-we who have seen so many
automobiles whose drivers wanted
all the road Half the road is
yours" What pretty sentiment
that conveys-and what fine
phrase it is if lived up to--not only
on the roads of life. In the eternal
strife and struggle that makes bust
ness life, most of the fellows who
get far ahead are those who crowd
the other fellow off the road-and,
maybe, wreck the machine by fore

there are many entertainments and
treacherous places in the road of
life-just as there are in the road
Of travel. If we are to enjoy life
in its fullest measures there isn't a
better slogan to go by than "Howdy!
Half he road is yours" Don't try
to hog the road-the other fellow
has as much right to travel on it
as you have-and when you let him
have half the road to pass your
machine, you're showing courtesy
and good manners. There won't be

BEAUTY CHATS
Split Hair.

In taking up the little points, one
b. one, which the beauty seeker con-
tends with we find that hands and
hair are of the first Importance. The
well groomed woman has perfect
hands and perfect hair; the careless
woman neglects these two items The
hair must always look as though it
had been shampooed that very day;
it must be soft and glossy and
smoothly brushed so not hair is out
of place, as though a skilled hair
dresser has just finished with it.
That's a hard ideal If you have to be
your own skilled hair dresser, but it
isn't an impossible one.
Now as to the hairs health The
first signs Of trouble are split ends
and dandruff. Both can be cured by
oil rubs. proper shampooing, and
tonics. | can help you in two ways

it to use as q general tonic and slim

simply brightens the color of the hair
and leaves it clean and fluffy when il
is dry. You can use tn" tonic three
times a week, and the shampoo once
a week If the hair grows greasy,
provided you rub oil into the scalp
the night before the shampoo, and
clip off the ends OF the hair once a
month if they split.
If your hair is hopeless to comb
for a day or so after washing, do not
dry, but while it is fairly wet, set

Words.

1t makes 4 world Of difference
what words children are taught to
-Igc. It makes world of difference
which words they dwell upon as they
live through each day. There Is a
" de choice. You may present any
word III the dictionary to them and
a good many that cannot be found
there, but the decision is important.
Why? Because each word carries
with it a bit OF human story. There
has been written into it the essence
OF the spirit of people, and that
spirit affects the spirit of the per-
son using the word just as truly as
would the wine from an ancient cask
set the blood in your veins a-throb-
bing, could you get it.
The youth of a people love to ex-
pertinent with language. They want
to put little life and color into the
words they find so trite because the
poor deaTs, they are too young yet
10 have glmpsed the inner meaning
o. some of the commoneSt. They
seem, for instance, to tiOut the word
nan. A man is a guy generally
sometimes Il bird, or glnk Rareiy

guy. There are two distinct pictures
in my mind since the days of the
first reader. The first one is of a
gray haired teacher standing before
US reading from the Bible the story
Of mans creation. l remember that
man was created IN the image and
likeness Of God. That always makes
me feel that there is some hope for

more often in Ireland than in Scot
