The Uncle Sam" memorial is not the
only monument that Representative

Mad" Anthony Wayne. a hero of the
Revolution, holds strong appeal for
the Hoosier, and he has taken up the
cudgels in his behalf.
He wants a memorial to Gen. Wayne

MILADY BEAUTIFUL
By LOIS LEEDS.

Dear Miss Leeds.~-My hair is ma
turally q dark brown, but / have been
using peroxide on it to give it red
tint. Instead. 1t made my hair straw
color and It Is growing In dark at the
roots. Please tell me how to bring back
the natural color. PEGGIE.
Answef.-You have overhleached
your hair. 1t is possible to keep brown
hair a reddish shade by using peroxide
correctly, but few girls who bleach
their hair at home know how to do this.
Your mistake has been to go over
the bleach instead of just touching up
the roots. Now all you can do Is to
wait for the dark hair to grow In.
The color you have bleached out Of
your hair can never be restored, but,
of course, you can have 1t dyed to
match the new growth of hair II you
wish and then cut of the dyed ends
when enough new hair has grown out.
Give your hair hot oil treatment to
improve its condition. If your hair
Is badly burned with the peroxide 1t
may be impossible to dye 1t success
fully. On no account try to dye 1t
yourself. LOIS LEEDS.
Dimples.
Dear Miss Leeds.--u) What causes
split ends on hair that is apparently
healthy? / wear my hair in curls
and dampen it each morning for
brushing. (2) Is there beauty shop
where dimples are speciality?
HAZEL.
Answer.-Q) As the individual hairs
get old they split at the ends and
need to be trimmed; this is normal.
Divide your hair into small strands
and twist tightly. The split ends will
stick out all around the twisted
strand SO that you may cut them of
with scissors (2) Not that I know

count has been taken Of soil and cli-
matte conditions.
It is Monteith's job to see that clubs
which have money to spend on turf
spend 1t wisely.
Representative David Hogg Of In
diana believes that In his district is a
site of national historical significance
that has been neglected too long. He
wants Congress to do something about 1t.
The site is the grave Of one Samuel
Wilson in cemetery In the town OF
Merriam. This Samuel Wilson, says
Mr.. Hogg, Is the man by whose So
briquet, Uncle SAM" the United States
of America is popularity designated.
He has introduced a bill authorizing
an appropriation Of $4,000 to erect a
suitable memorial. -'er
Mr.. Hogg knows a lot about the his
tory of Sam Wilson and how his So
briquet was applied to designate the
United States.
In the Government commiSsary ct Troy,
commiSSary was located in the store of
Ebert Anderson.
AS each Government consignment
came to him he would inspect it and
place the mark e A U S" on the pack
ages. They would then be taken to the
docks for shipment.
One day new wharf hand asked a
longshoreman the meaning of the mark.
He was told it meant that the consign-
ment had been approved by Uncle
Sam" and came from the store owned
by Ebert Anderson.
The story was told up and down the

Very Oily Hair.
Dear Miss I.eeds.-What can I do
to take the oil out of my hair? Two
days after my shampoo 1t is very oily
and hard to curl NANCY.
Answer.-Excessively oily hair Is
usually found upon persons who are
below par physically. Nervous, thin
types often complain of this trouble.
You see, the oil glands In the scalp
become relaxed when the muscular
tone of the whole body is poor. So
my advice to you Is to build up your
health.

Shrimps With Eggs.

Shell about three dozen shrimps,
dust them lightly with cayenne pepper
and put them in the oven with melted
butter to get warmed through. Mean
while, put one ounce Of butter in a
saucepan, break into 1t three eggs and
season to taste with salt and pepper.
Stir for two minutes, then add the
warmed shrimps and stir all together
until it begins to set. Then draw the
pan to the side of the fire so that it
will not cook too quickly. When the
eggs have thickened lay the mixture
on squares Of hot buttered toast and
serve.

Springtime Diet.

Diet is more important now than at
any other time Of the year. You have
been eating heavier foods during the
Winter. You must have done so in or
der to make your blood thick and supply
your body with the heat necessary to
resist the cold weather. Now that the
necessity for that Is passed, the blood
which is too thick causes the skin to
break out in ugly marks or makes the
stomach actually distend, and in any
case creates a great deal of discomfort.
The only thing to do is to bring your
diet down so it is less rich in calories.
AS we said yesterday, vegetables and
fruit are IDEAL foods that have. bulk and
that do not tax the digestive powers.

reduce the weight.
This sort C. diet acts both ways
There are an extraordinary number Of
women who are inches and inches too
stout around the waist and who cannot
reduce a distended stomach merely be-
cause they never digest their food prop
erly and the stomach is actually en-
1arged by gas. know this sounds aw-
full, but women go year after year in
this condition, piling up flesh some
times. filling their systems with poisonS
at other times. letting their figures lose
Slenderness and grace, merely because
they eat the wrong sort Of foods.
Try diet for q few days which Is
almost all liquid. Coffee or tea for
breakfast, with a boiled egg and one
piece of toast; midmorning, if you feel
unbearably hungry a cup Of clear bouil-
Ion and small cracker; lunch, vege-
table soup or one of the delicious peas
ant soups containing all the leftovers
with cheese grated over the top and a
bit of toast, a cup Of tea about o'clock,
and dinner of soup and toast or a
salad and toast. This diet will break up
chronic constipation, if you suffer from
that, by the way.

better grass for putting green's and
fairways.
1t is not an uncommon thing for
golfers to become thoroughly disguised
with the turf around their courses.
More than one club management has
been changed on account of this. It is
Monteith's job TO eliminate this condi-
ton so far as possible.
Bobby Jones is one of the strongest
supporters of Mcnteith's work. Bobby
has been complaining that he is not
able to do his best putting on the
Bermuda grass green's that prevail in
the South. He wants them changed,
and has appealed to Monteith.

In an effort to aid the famous golfer
Monteith is endeavoring to have located
at Atlanta what he calls a turf garden.
BY means of this turf garden, he will be
able to find out just what grass is best
suited to the soil and climatic condi-
lions of the South, and club officials in
the section may be governed accord
ingly.
Last season there were established Is
new demonstration turf gardens on golf
courses in different sections of the
country. These are supported and cared
for by the local clubs, under the direc-
ton of the green's section of the U.
S. G. A.
They are at Minneapolis, Chicago,
Grand Rapids. Detroit, Pittsburgh, Bos-
ton, New York, Atlantic City and Rich
mond.
Experiments of all kinds are carried
on at the turf gardens. Grass seeds for
putting greens and fairways are planted
and watched carefully. Various kinds
of fertilizers are tried out, and those
found to be the most satisfactory are
recorded. Cutting experiments are con-
Quoted and the best length for grass on
the green's and fairways determined.
And the countless other details neces-
Sary to the maintenance of golfers good
dispositions are attended to.

Monteith says one of the reasons that
golf is described as "a rich man game"
IS the fact that too little attention has
been given the turf problem by club
officials.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars have
been spent needleSsly on golf courses. A
club located in the South will send a
golfer to Braeburn or another course
There he will putt on greens that are a
source OF everlasting joy. He returns
home ana persuades his club to provide
the same greens. Several hundreds of
dollars will be sunk to no avail. No &C.

"In pursuance Of the functions

Chambers Of Commerce, it is Of ur-
gent Importance that we have the
cooperation of every man and
woman who may operate a vehicle
upon the highways for the very
best possible results in this work.
cit should be borne in mind and
stressed, that the secret of all law
enforcement is a strict, practical
application of keen sense of a
personal moral responsibility.
'The daily chronlcling by the
newspapers of serious accidents on
the highways, should be sufficient
to warn the public of the impor-
tance Of the strictest observance of
the road rules which are in a sense
a code of highway ethics, adopted
by the legislature, and penalizing
the violators thereof.
"We are now acting in con-
ciliatory and advisory capacity. We
want to keep you out of the courts
and we are asking you to help us
to help yourselves. Learn the rules

Be careful in backing out from the
