YIVO have gray hairs appear long
before expects them Is often
very discouraging. There are
many young girls who face this
beauty dilemma and are anxious TO
get rid or the offending white hairs.
And here are a few ways 10 do IL.
There are a number Of reasons for
premature gray hairs. prominent
among them being lack OF proper
care OF the hair and physical condi-
ton. Far too many girls today have
thrown away their hair brushes.
Brushing is as essential TO the life
and health OF the hair as shampoo
ing. You may not notice any III
effects for a while after your failure
TO observe the old maxim OF fifty
strokes OF the hair brush night and
morning." but as you continue TO
ignore this basic rule you'll find tina.
the color fades. the texture coarsens
slightly and the life goes out Of the
hair.
Brushing is a form OF exercise
for the hair just as bending and
twisting Is exercise for the body.
Brush the hair from the top OF the
head down 20 the ends: brush from
underneath the hair upward: brush
from the back OF the head L. the
front and from the front OF the head
10 the back. The brushing not only
will vitalize your hair. stimulate cir
culation and keep II healthy. but II

win remove the daily accumulation
OF dust and powder.
The second thing 70 consider IN
warding off gray hair is to deter
mine whether or not your hair Is
getting sufficient oil. With soft
waves so popular. many girls are
using strong remedies for oily hair
and. by doing so. are encouraging
gray hair at a much earlier date
than when the normal amount Of oil
Is allowed 10 remain in the hair.
nourishing 1T and keeping IL alive.
Once each week apply olive oil 10
the scalp. then massage the head for
ten minutes, pressing the fingers
firmly against the scalp. rotating
them until the entire scalp moves
freely and easily. Follow this with
a good shampoo and brushing.
Another preparation that has
proved splendid in forestalling the
advent OF gray hair too early in life
Is made from the following formula:
Four ca unc OF cOcoanut oil. two
and one-half (2al ounces Of bay rum.
one o. ounce Of glycerin and five
t5l drops OF oil OF bergamot.
Your local druggist will mix this
for you and do a better job than you
ran. Shake the bottle before using
and apply to the scalp once each
week. rubbing Il in wei. Let the
preparation remain on the hair over
night and then shampoo IT the fol-
lowing morning.

Home Making Helps
BY Wanda Barton
The NeI1 Importance of
Ironing Dcy.

TyHE modern ironing day has be-.
come one OF real importance
to housewives. Formerly II
was considered one OF the hardest
days in the weeks round by women
who did their own work. with or
without help. The washing machines
have prepared the way by making
Mondays work easy. That is. OF
course, II the washing has been done
al home instead OF az the wet.wash
laundry. The latter Is rather a
doubtful help n many cases for.
being brought home wet. the clothes
must still be hung and dried.
Gone is the laundry stove and the
old-fashioned flat irons and with
them a lot OF drudgery. The electric
iron is very generally used today
and with its popularity new improve
ments have made their appearance.
One on the new irons has a thumb
lever regulator. Is hot or cool as the
thumb presses. This iron has no
plug but a permanent cord attached
to the side where ii is out OF the
operators way.
Another new iron has an auto
matte heat control. a lever under the
handle having eight gradations and
by placing the lever at the point de-
sired the heat remains as wished. II
the iron cools too much the current
may be turned on again. The iron
is hotter at the point than at the
heel. which is quite ar advantage as
the hot end strikes the damp cloth
first. This iron has a hinged plug
which puts less strain on the cord
The iron rests on an attached heel
base. Some Of the others have
stands.
Changing ironing board covers
used 10 be a tedious Job. II vas diff
ficult to get the covers well padded
and smoth. Today the covers and
pads come In tho desired sizes and
lace snugly in place. II takes but a
few minutes TO adjust the and
the beard IL then ready for use
Extra covers come for the same pads.
Then there Is the small home mangle
which does all the fiat work beauti-
fully while the operator sits down e
