tons. Often Ii l. not the shape
Of the arms, but the condition
Of the skin that offers real
beauty consciousness.
One Of the most usual skin
blemishes found on che arms In
what u commonly called dry
pimples. This condition can be
remedied by the daily use Of n
stiff brist1ed brush and plenty OF
warm water and pure soap. IA
generous amount of soap should
be rubbed on the wet brush and
then the brush should be passed
over the arms for two or three
minutes.
Naturally, the treatment should
be gentle, yet enough pressure
should be put on the brush 80 ns
to stimulate circulation which
makes the skin IA pinkiah hue. lt
ID this increased circulate which
causes the little dry pinples to
disappear
One treatment will not entirely
remedy this condition but fol-
lowed each day, the skin should
be cleared within o. week. Daily
continuance il necessary, how
ever, 20 keep the skin thoroughly
cIeansed and free from such
blemiAhas.

~ Y shampoos are OF especial
interest to women because
SO many have bodied hair
and their i no question that
bobbed hair becomes oily more
quickly than does long hair.
There is a perfectly simple reason
for this.
Nature supplies oil to the hair
to keep it In good condition This
oil il exuded through ducts and
the scalp in sufficient quantity TO
supply long hair In other words
nature hasn't adapted herself to
our feminine fair for short hair!
Consequently the oil keeps COM
ing out Of the ducts in the scalp
and not having long hairs upon
which to distribute itself, doubles
back on the short locks and we
have too much oil SO that the
beauty Of the hair II marred.
When the hair becomes oily
two or three days after the
weekly shampoo, dry shampoo
powders will serve the purpose Of
removing the excess oil and keep
ing the hair fresh and clean.
Orris root may be used salts
f~actorily by the blonde haired
maidens, but used on dark hair,
often causes dull drab tresses be-
cause it il almost impossible to
remove every trace of the pow
der.
For the brunette women equal
parts corn meal and almond meal
may be used effectually. Simply
brush the hair well, sprinkle a
bit Of the dry shampoo over the
entire head, run the fingers
through the hair, then, brush
again to remove the powder.

Bannick Will Pick Out Place to
Build Vashon Island Jail.

Construction of concrete Jail
on Vashon Island near Vashon,
appeared assured Monday as Sher-
if Bannick, backed by county
Commissioners, prepared to visit
the Island and select a site. The
Vashon Island Commercial and
Vashon Businessmen's clubs have
requested Jail. The sheriff re-
ports it will cost about $500 and
will be built by F. j. Shattuck,
resident deputy sheriff, and two
TRUSTEES. Persons arrested on the
Island will be held in the Jail
there and their cases disposed by a
local justice of the peace instead
Of being brought to Seattle.
The foregoing news item, clip
ped from Tuesdays Star, has
caused great deal of comment
locally.
The site being considered most
seriously is on the lot west of the
highway, OH which the tower OF
the Vashon water system is locat-
ed.
The Inconvenience of the pres
ent system of taking care OF
offenders is so obvious that the
officials hav decided that local
means of. handling minor cases
would be an economy, and this
decision apparently is meeting
with the whole-hearted approval
Of the majority.

$4,000 MILES BY STEAMER

Mr.. and Mrs. George Park OF
Vashon Heights, living in what
is commonly known as the "Shor-
ey" home returned last week to
the Island after a most enjoyable
trip.
On November 18th they left the
Island, via Tacoma, and drove to
Oakland where they visited
several weeks with their children.
On December 18th they sailed to
Honolulu on the S. S. Aorangi.
Here they were joined by r. II.
Denny and wife, and G. d. Wason
and wife, who were their COM
panions for the remainder OF the
trip.
After two days spent in
Honolulu they sailed for Australia
touching at the FIJI Islands.
where they spent day at Suba,
the capital, veritable South Sea
Island paradise.
They continued TO Auckland, a
lovely old English city Of some
100000 inhabitants, spending
four days there. Here they
chartered ear and spent two
weeks driving over the island,
which is one of the most interest
ing trips to be had The island
is 600 miles long and from 80 to
200 miles in width, with many
thermal belts. 1t has many boil
ing lakes of mud and water, and
innumerable geysers.
One day was spent in a trip
down the Wanganui river, which
Mr.. Park eharacterizes as the
most beautiful river in the world,
with which even the Rhine does
not compare in beauty.
They next visited Wellington,
another seaport city on the south
end of the island. This beautiful
city. of 100000 inhabitants, with
its tremendous ocean traffic, is
situated on hills and reminds one
of Seattle.

Multi-Milionaire Was Former
Resident of Vashon
Island

Very few OF the newer residents
of the Island knew when they
read of the recent death in San
Francisco of James A. Moore, the
multi-millionaire, that he was a
former resident of Vashon Island.
He and his beautiful young bride
came to the Island in 1886 and
made their home near Center.
AT that time he was beginning to
interest himself in Seattle prop
erty where he was later credited
with creating nearly a billion
dollars in property values and a
fortune of $15,000,000 for him
self. He gave Seattle its first big
boost which started it on the road
to future prosperity.
While living on the Island Mr..
Moore interested himself in the
activities of the First Presby-
terian church at Center, taught a
class Of young men in the Sunday
school and he and his wife were
regularly members of the choir.
Later on the family moved to
Ellisport and lived at what is
now known as the Jackson prop
erty, then the Reese Hotel.
Always interested in the good Of
the community Mr.. Moore and
members of his family took an
active part in the Chautauqua AS
sembly then located at Ellisport.
They later moved to Seattle
where. they lived until the death
Of Mrs. Moore in 1912. She was
a sister of Mrs. Ira Bronson,
well known society woman OF
Seattle
