ARE WOMEN GROWING BALD

AXE WOMEN GROWING BALD
When the bobbed hair vogue frs,
appeared, there was considerable dis.
cussion as to whether it would re.
suit in women becoming bald, as many
people believed that the frequent
cutting of the hair was responsible
for the numerous cases of badness
with men. There is no truth In this
J theory. however. as cutting the hair
does not have any tendency toward
producing badness. The loss Of hair
is always caused by something which
affects the nutrition Of the hair
roots, or by local disease Of the
scalp.
There is some ground to the belief
that the tight hats which men wore
a few years ago were responsible for
many cases of badness. If women
adopt tight-fitting hats which inter-
fere with the circulation of the hair
roots, there may be more cases of
badness among them, too.
Some people have a natural ten
dency toward longer hair than others
because their hair grows more rap
idly, or it may become longer be-
cause it does not break off as readily
because it contains q natural oil
which makes it less brittle.
AS people grow older. there is q
tendency to have less circulation to
the top of the head and badness be-
comes more common. It might be
a good idea for bald-headed people
to initiate Father William who stood
on his head every day of his life to
keep young.
Dandruff is another frequent cause
Of badness. Daily brushing the hair
helps to increase the circulation. Cir
culatory lifting, kneadtng and press
ing the muscles in massage is very
beneficial. It is also a good plan to
wash the hair at least once a week.
The skull separates the scalp from
the brain, and of the commonest
causes of badness is what is called
a tight scalp. The skin Of bald
headed people is usually thin, and the
bald-headed person cannot, as q rule,
wiggle his scalp back and forth.
One with a tight scalp can avoid
becoming bald if he will use some
method of increasing the scalp cir
culation. TONES are practically of
no value, but a good treatment is the
daily application of ice to the scalp.
Hold a piece of ice to the different
places of the bald spot until the skin
reacts and becomes red. Then mas
sage thoroughly with the fingertips,
rubbing in a small amount of cocoa
nut oil OF almond oil. Sunburning
scalp with short treatments from the
sunlight or from actinic ray lamp is
also helpful. All vigorous physical
culture exercises to increase the gen.

TOO NEAT
by Alice JudsOn Peale)

- - AV0AoO Ia 6C0NVAxuxs
The floors shine, the woodwork is
immaculate. The perfection of the
living room is never marred by care
lessly thrown belongings and miscel-
laneous litter.
Shelves and closets have been ar
ranged In the most perfect order. The
exquisite housekeeping of Mrs.
Ewing's home is the wonder of her
neighbors who add to their marveling
the remark that it Is strange that
Mrs. Ewing's children should all be so
slack and untidy.
with a mother like that you would
think they would learn to be neat If
they never learned anything else"
say the neighbors.
Yet that, If you are wise. is exactly
what you would not think. You
would know that wh:re neatness has
become a matter of such outstanding
importance the children are almost
sure to rebel against its tyranny.
While they r little they may be
compelled to conform, but as they
grow older their suppressed resent
ment breaks forth and they revel in
SlovcnlineSS.
A reasonable degree of order is de-
sirable in every home. but when or
derlineSs becomes an end in itself, as
it does with 50 many jealous house,
wives, it succeeds in making mlser-
able everyone but the housekeeper.
The children learn to hate all neatness
as an odiouS reminder of the naggingS
and seedlings 1t has caused them.
Don't be too neat. Be neat enough
and reconcile yourself to the casual
disorder caused by pleasant living.
Remember that q living room is not
q museum but a living room. Chill
dren who grow up in a home which
does not exact too many sacrifices in
the name Of neatness will be as neat
as it is sensible to be.

THE CHANGES OF 70 YEARS

It is interesting to note that just 70 years ago the 25th
OF this month the first producing oil we'll in the United
States was drilled in Pennsylvania.
Seventy years-precisely the s~criptural three score
and ten Of the average lifetime! The results that have
followed on the drilling Of that first well are almost
incalculable.
We are a motorized n~ation-which means, Of course,
that our economic and social machine could not function
without oil. That one we'll has multiplied to more than
325 900. Oil has completely changed our entire life.
Somehow, it seems as If that first we'll ought to have
some kind OF tablet in memorial. It was the beginning
OF a new era.

1T IS FALL

Lodges are getting their winters activities under way.
Young folks are wooing tcrpischore. There is a smell of
camphor in many homes as NAH jong sets are being
opened up. New loud speakers are being installed for
the radio. Study circles are rcsuming. There is hot
competition around the reading lamp for possession of
the home town paper. Bridge is still played. There is
some demand for corn-poppers. The ice man looks a
little glum but the electric light meter reader wears a
smile like a split watermelon as he sets down the figures.
It has been a wonderfully fine summer with more than
usual opportunities for outdoor enjoyments. But it will
be fine to have the fall rains, too. and later the nip of
frost and the sheen Of snow. Just as one Of the fine
things about going away from home is to come back
there. so one Of the fine things about summer is that

SAVING AND %ESTROYlNG

It is so much easier to destroy life than to save 1t
that it seems odd that most of our monuments and
memorial wreaths should go to the destroycrs rather
than to the saviors.
That, however. is the way We do things. Some day,
perhaps, we shall have a better sense OF values. Mean
while
The latter part of the 18th century and the first part Of
the 10Th saw about as much wholesale destruction as
has ever been crowded into a similar period of history.
The men who led in that destruction became famous.
Nelson, Napoleon, Wellingtpn-scores of books have been
written about them, scores Of statues have been erected
to them. Every school boy knows who they we're and
what they did.
1t happens that there was an Englshman living in
those days who managed to save more lives than the
combined efforts Of Wellington. Nelson, Napoleon and the
rest destroyed. He has been dead q century but he is
still saving lives. and he will continue to do so for cen
turtles to come.
His name was Edward Jenner. Is that name familiar
to you? Probably not: most history books dismiss hin
with q paragraph. But the name is far more worth
knowing than the names Of the fighting men mentioned
above.
Jenner, born in l749, was the son Of a country clergy
man. He grew up in a day when smallpox was the most
dreaded disease known. One out of every four people
in Europe and England either died Of smallpox or carried
its d~isfiguring scars throughout life. Medical science was
utterly helpless before it.
Jenner studied medicine and resolved to devote his life
to the problem of smallpox. He had noticed the current
belief in his native country district that milkmaids and
farmers who had contracted the mild cowpox were i'm
mune from smallpox. and he set to work to find out
about 1t.
Many years OF study and experiment followed-untl in
1900. he was able to present the results Of his researches
to the world and get the endorsement of q prominent
physicians. During the years that ensued Jenner him
self vaccinated more than 6o0.0O0 persons, and vaccina-
ton became recognized by medical men everywhere as
the great weapon against smallpox.
The battlefields of Europe were bloody during these
years. Armies moved and fought almost without ceasing.
generals built vast regulations. the unwieldy ships of
Lord Nelson sent their broadsides crashing into French,
Danish and Spanish ships and Napoleon made his name
. household word. Thousands upon thousands of men
were killed. But Jenner, the quiet son Of a country
parson. was saving more lives than all Of these battles
were destroying.
Nelson has a great memorial column in London.
Napoleon has a mighty tomb in Paris-and not one man
In . hundred can even tell who Jenner was!
Some day, let us hope, we will be better able to recoc-
nize the higher form of greatness.
