Jean.-The split hairs and brittle
ness indicate that your scalp is not
secreting enough oil to keep your hair
in COCO condition. Try massaging your
scalp every day until you loosen IL
from the bones and also quicken the
circulation. After each shampoo, work
into the scalp a small amount of olive
oil with finger tipS-ten droiss TO a
teaspoonful, Just enough to make up
to the scalp the natural oils that have
been removed by the shampoo.
Lemon rinse Is drying, and II that is
what you are using. 1t would help to

SPRINCTIME
BY D. c. PEATTIE.

For a moment thought I had seen,
through the French windows, a shoot
ing star, or one of those worlds that
Is said to blaze up suddenly in distant
space. And then, when the violet light
appeared little lower down and glided
softly away, I realized had beheld
the first firefiy of the year. And / was
reminded OF another June night, when
a friend OF mine. Scotch gentleman
newly come to this country, first beheld
firefiies. and 1t was my pleasure to wit
ness his delight.
For in Europe there are no firefiies.
The click beetles that science calls
pyrophorus, meaning fire bearers, are
confined to the Americas, and are most
abundant as one ranges southwark to-
ward the tropics. The light proceeds
from pair of prominent, smooth;
roundish spots on the beetles pronutum
and from an area beneath the base of
the abdomen. The luminous organs
themselves lie just below the cuticle,
a series of fatty cells. So powerful Is
the luminous element that 1t pervades
even the larvae, which we call glow
worms. and the eggs themselves.
Such. BADLY stated. are the facts
about flrefiies. But who knows what
makes the light, or why the insect
turns 1t on and off? Courtship. 1t Is
suggested. Perhaps, but OF what use
Is the light to an egg? You may catch
one of the fiIefiies easily in the hand
and put him under tumbler for OBJ
servation. But watch him as long
as you will, you will not solve this
pretty riddle or unearth this dainty
miracle.

KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
BY JOSEPH JASTROW.

and typical also such fears as fear of
thunder and lightning, fear of dark,
perhaps echoes Of situations most ter
rifying to our remote ancestors--tIey
are not as typical phobias as those as
sociated with bodily posture. of which
the most typical Is fear of falling.
This equilibrium or Ioss-of- balance
fear we all know. in walking on a
trestle, or on plank crossing stream.
or at the edge Of precipice. The
greater the height. the greater the
panic. But the fixation of the mind on
the danger makes IL true phobia, or
a dread. The thought becomes the start
OF an impulse, the fear OF throwing
yourself of the height or on the tracks
The other common type of phobia
divides into two: ~ the fear of being
shut In and no escape, and ~ the fear
Of being adrift, lost and no shelter. To
some III Is tunnel, TO others a seat
under a gallery, or too far away from
an exit. Others walk around two sides
Of public square near the buildings
and won't cross diagonaily. So the first
In the nervousiy disposed becomes the
phobia Of closed spaces, and the second
OF open spaces. We want to be sheltered,
have a longing for home.
PhobiaS, imaginatively elaborated
fears. are natural TO all, yet workmen
In perilolis positions on modern bridges
and skyscrapers, in course Of erection,
are by nature or training fearless OF
what scareS others.
It should help all this army Of fear
victims to know that they are not pc
culiarly afIiicted--just like other folks,
only much more so. Some have feel
ing Of fainting or being sick at the
stomach: but 1t Is predominansIy men
tai. The training out of 1t mast be
| mental also. It's all a matter Of well
arranged discipline, gradual getting
used To a little more calm. A little less
"ninding" Of these awful feelings. a
| stronger and stronger conviction that
you can and will pull through.
/ Only in the extremely rleurotic are
| these phobias serious, because they
combine with other nervous tendencies
( that prevent their victims from bchay-

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Wednesday, June IS.

Benefic aspects will dominate tomor-
row. according to astrology, which finds
the planetary government most auSpi-
cious for many human ambitions.
Women are subject to the best pos
sible direction Of the stars, which en-
courages their public work.
Success for a woman who enters the
political arena again is forecast but she
will be one of the few who attain elec-
ton.
In the coming national campaign
women are to exercise tremendous
mass influence, 1t is prognosticated, but
they will meet with much bitter oppo-
Sition.
This is read as happy wedding day
in which women will attain to the right
of domestic partnership.
Lovers may take heart tomorrow,
which seems to presage for them Joy
and prosperity. Quarrels are vaguely
discernible, but they will not be serious.
.Theaters should benefit from this rule
of the stars, which promises the pres
entation of better dramas than have
been produced recently.
Once more the seers predict success
from community efforts of all sorts to-
ward public entertainment.
The best conditions for musicians will
prevail In the coming Summer, when
many outdoor concerts will educate the
people.
The afternoon should be an auspi-
cious time to seek employment of coun-
sci.
The day Is most favorable to the am
billions Of men who have occupied po-
Sitions In the Government.
Persons whose birth date 1t Is have
the augury of prosperity to which elder
ly relatives may contribute.
Children born on that day probably
will reach unusual success in their lives.
The subject of this sign often attain
supreme heights.
