BEAUTY CHATS BY EDNA KENT FORBES

entirely cured.
q. P. C.-Tar soap Is all right for c
shampoo If your hair is dark. Some
scalp specialists advise washing the hair
every day for some people. and there
are men who have done this for years
and have an abundance of hair. Tho
point about this is that cleanliness IL
essential, and If the scalp and hair can
be kept clean through other means than
daily washing it will do just as well
For instance, brushing the dust out OF
the hair with brush kept clean all
the time, nasSaging the scalp to in
vigorate it and airing the hair: in fact,
any other means that contributes to
cleanliness will answer. Not every one
could take the time to shampoo daily,
SO it Is well to adopt other methods
than this.
M. e. P.-Use the cream as It Is. for
it is Just as nourishing as II 1t had not
separated. Pour OF the rose water and
keep 1t for q future combination.
Mrs. M. Nan exercise for reduc-
ing the hips follows: Take squatting
position, which will mean that knees
will be bent so that the thighs will be
at a right angle to the trunk, heels
raised and one foot slightly ahead of
the other for balance. Place hands on
hips and rise to a standing position.
then crouch again. Keep this up. at a
moderate rate until you feel all the
muscles have been exercised.

Everyday Psychology
The Group-Mind.
By DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

For more than 100 years scholars In
social science have been trying to de-
velop and support the theory that every
group of people has its own group
mind. This group-mind is represented
as a sort of over-mind, separate and
distinct from the minds Of the individ-
uals who compose the group.
They tell us that the members of any
organization are dominated by this
group-mind quite as completely in the
presence of the group as they are by
their individual minds when away from
the group. A few students of the sub
ject go so far as to say that the group
mind dominates the individual even
when he is isolated from the group.
There Is no group-mind. It's merely
a philosophical assumption employed
to cover UP Ignorance about the nature
of the individual mind, which alone has
psychological reality.
What so many of the older students
call group-mind is really nothing but
a name for the behavior of minded
people once they are thrown together.
1t would be more to the point to say
that like-minded people constitute a
mind-group than to say that they are
influenced by a fictitious group-mind.
-mindedness means that people
have acquired the same habits in re-
spect to a given situation. You go to
church with church habits, to lodge
with lodge habits to a picnic with pic
mic habits These are situations. And
the situations set certain set of habits
to unwinding. The habits operate to
lend connectedness to the behavior.
Those who have acquired the same
habits act alike The observer who
doesn't understand the situation flies
to the conclusion that some mysterious
over-mind is operating to make all act
alike.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. H. D. S. writes: "I enjoy your
column very much and think your
ideas and viewpoints are excellent. I
thought perhaps some of your readers
would be interested in my methods.
Since my baby was tiny he has had
his nap out OF DOORS even in the coolest
weather Though he was always well
wrapped. began giving him sun
baths, one minute on each side, when
he was just month old, and that
was in October, and have continued
ever since. He is now Is months old
and runs around every day In his sun
suit for about two hours.
my family and friends have been
shocked and have insisted he would
take cold. I have maintained 1t is
is inside. At any rate, he Is well
and strong and has had but one cold
In his whole life, which, think, proves
that SunbathS do not hurt him.
HE drinks his milk from glass
(began this at II months) and feeds
himself entirely. I began by using two
spoons, one for him and one for me.
At first did most of the feeding with
my spoon, but he gradually learned
to use his own, and now merely as
sist and he does most of the work."
Answer-If child becomes accus-
toned to sunbaths gradually and builds
up a resistance to the air as 1t gets
colder, he doesn't chill as does the
person who Is wrapped in warm cloth
ing and Is then sent out Into cold air.
In Switzerland, where sunbathing was
begun as measure for curing tu-
berculosis, the children are put out in
the snow and sun after having become
accustomed to 1t by the slow methods
of summing that are always advocated.
We are getting to be sunworshipers In
truth these days, with our sunbaths and
ultraviolet ray baths, and so far there
seems to be untold benefit from them,
though ultraviolet ray bathing Is not
to be done except under the super
vision of a doctor.
Mrs. M. O. T-You are full Of old
fashioned superstitions. 1t is more
than likely that what you suspect is
true. Go to doctor and cease wor-
rying.

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

February 7, 1S69-Mayor Bowen,
with committees from the Boys in Blue,
the Soldiers and Sailors Union and
other local groups, has made applica-
ton to the House committee on public
buildings and grounds for permission
to use the rotunda and the hall of the
House Of Representatives at the
Capitol to give grand Inauguration
ball and banquet" on March 4, when
Gen. Grant will become President OF
the United States. The committee, at
meeting held this morning, unani-
mously agreed to accede to the request.
Political Washington Is alive with
gossip today as a result of the speech
delivered in the House Of Representa-
tives yesterday by Representative WASH
burne of Illinois, in Whit he suggested
a policy of government economy and
retrenchment in expenditures. In view
of the fact that Mr.. Washburne usually
speaks extemporaneously and that on
this occasion he read from printed slips
of paper, some persons drew the con-
clusion that he was speaking in behalf
of President-elect Grant and FORE
shadowing the policy of the incoming
administration.
curry today that Mr.. Washburne was
speaking for himself and had no Spe-
cial message from Gen. Grant, although
it Is no secret that he and Gen. Grant
hold similar opinions on the matter
of government economy and retrench-
ment. From this time forward it seems
certain that Representative Wash
burne's speeches will be very closely
scanned by all those persons who are
seeking to probe into the political flu
ture and get an inkling of what Presi-
dent-elect Grant may propose to do
after he enters the White House.
Meantime plans for inauguration
ceremonies on grand scale for Gen.
Grant are going forward. The enthu-
siasm which is being exhibited by resi-
dents Of the city and leaders of the
Republican party in the States seems
certain to make this one of the most
memorable Inauguration ceremonies
ever held.
Word has been received by the local
authorities indicating that there will
be many delegations from the States
to take part In an inaugural procession
and the proposed grand ball.

East and to a certain degree IN our
own country. It Is an art, simple and
effective, whereby absolute duplication
of two sides of a design can be attained
without effort.
A mother may often find the method
practical herself. Indeed, when pockets,
collars, ETC., in a pattern for frocks are
wanted she instinctively resorts to
folded paper cutting to get accuracy.
Fashion patternmakers have TINS
method In mind when they supply half
of a section, one edge of which Is to
be laid on straight fold OF goods be-
fore the section Is cut out.
The cutting of folded paper should
be encouraged in children. Supply
them with blunt scissors. When they
get to cutting fairly good things, give
them colored paper and a scrapbook
or some sheets Of wrapping paper on
which to paste the figures and objects.
Stimulate them to arrange the objects
to form picture.
Pine trees are very easy to cut. A
rail fence between two, with girl IN
the foreground, is simple composition
A window with ported plants or q win
dow box on the sill and green blinds
wide open offer another suggestion.
After showing the children how to form
groups leave them alone to develop
original arrangements.
One of the ways in which this ability
can be used is in the making OF valen-
tines. Little folk will find this fun
and mothers can have the satisfaction
of knowing when they are so occupied
that they are out Of mischief and happy.

Health VS.. Diet.

One specialist recently said that al
most all illnesses could be cured by
diet Some exceptions could be taken
to this statement, but there is need for
reflection upon the curative possible
ties of foods. We need foods that will
supply the body with whatever ele-
ments are required to replace tissues
that are constantly broken down, or to
build up over periods Of growth, or to
produce energy for the usual activities
and store reserve for extra strain.
Few of us care to be experts on the
values of foods, but some knowledge is
necessary since eating is one OF our
important affairs, not to mention the
great pleasure that also accompanies it.
It would mean much toward the health
of every family if whoever handled the
catering for it would become acquaint-
ed with the relative value of the differ
ent foods and the needs of the differ
ent members of the family. 1t Is an
easy matter to get such information, as
the Government will mail pamphlets
covering all their experiments with
food to any one sending for them.
The United States Agricultural De-
partment has made over 1000 analyses
determining the caloric value OF nearly
every article of food imaginable. Not
every member of a family needs the
same kind of foods, for some will re-
ouire more proteins than others, and
others perhaps more carbohydrates. It
may appear involved, and a matter for
increasing the work Of the housekeeper,
but 1t is not hard to understand and
really adds interest to the catering.
