X TOW that social activities are
IN in full swing we simply
must work out a series Of
beauty treatments that are easy
to take. Then, too, II Is well to
favor those that accomplish more
than n result. thus simplifying
u routine so that we gain the
most beauty with the least effort.
Although this article is based
on making and using an egg
shampoo. / want to include some
suggestions for the general care
of the hair and scalp.
Science assures US that under
ordinary conditions the scalp
area Is the most unclean skin sur
face on the body. This is because
it not only IS not cleansed as
often an the rest Of the body. but
the hair istelf retains the natural
oils which in turn hold all accu-
mutations Of dust and lint. Con-
sequently we find the scalp and
hair In an actually uncIean state
within o few days after sham
pooling.
The old idea that the life and
beauty of the hair is ruined by
frequent shampooing is IN old
idea and one which science dis
proves in shOrt order.
Look at the subject from an
unprejudiced view point for a
moment Skin surfaces are,
practically speaking. the same all
over the body under normal
conditions We already have
proven. 0hat cleanliness. no mat
ter what treatment we take to
attain L. Is the basis Of beauty.
In 30 cases out Of a 100 all skin
blemiShss disappear after the
correct outer and inner cleansing
methods have been found and
used. This being true. what Is
mora logical tkren. than the scalp
and hair be kept hmmaculately
clean to Improve their health and
beauty?
- Certainly If the ducts and
glands that nourish the hair are
not functioning adequately, tho
frequent use of the wrong sham
poo will aggravste the condition.
Under such circumstances we can
only admit that too much wash
ing is injurious. But that has
nothing to do with the actual fact
that proper cleansing methods
can be used frequently and viii
only improve the condition
If a soap or cream that has
astringent qualities is used on a
dry skin, unfavorable results will
result. If their use Is continued

BROKERAGE
RACKET"
Barred

Complaints and investiga-
tions indicate that bucket
shops are operating in the
District of Columbia, Louis
Rothschild, director of the
Washington Better Business
Bureau, said today.
"'These illicit firms, conducting a
fake brokerage business in stocks
and bonds, are not only dealing
with innocent investors in the Ma
tion's Capital, but by mail and tele-
phone are doing business with out
siders, especially in Virginia, Mary
land. West Virginia, the Ca-olinas
and even as far south as Arkansas"
he declared.
Texan Fleeced
"Only the other day." he added,
"a rich Texan came to this office
and told Of being mulcted of $4,000
by such a firm" Rothschild ex-
plained that the bucketshop had
accepted the money but had not
bought the stock as is done by a
legitimate brokerage house, figuring
on a drop in the market.
However, there was a slip in the
scheme. The post.election rise in
the market drove the stock to a
top price. The Texan asked for his
securities and the broker refused
to deliver them. Thus the Texan
is left holding the bag for he can
not prosecute the broker without
losing his money and the only other
recourse is to bring suit for his
securities or his money.
"a bucketshop," Rothschild de-
clared, operates best in a slack
market"
when the market is climbing y
he added, 1.-The broker tries to get
the investor to switch from a sup
sposedly good security to an un-
known mining or oil stock"
He asked that investors "investi-
gate before they invest" and thus
save themselves grief. "Thus far"
he claimed, I'VE have been able to
save a lot of money for persons who
have asked US about certain outfits
before they bought stock. Schemes
like those of a bucketshop strike at
the legitimate broker and tend to de-
stroy the faith of the public in in
vestments," he added.

The plans have not yet been gone
over by the President but it is ex-
pected that with slight changes
actual work win be undertaken
when Mr.. Hoover goes on his sum
mer vacation SO that on his return
larger quarters for the increasing
office forces will be ready for
occupancy.
It is provided nj the plans for. a

FARM AND
: TARIFF TO
TAKE Up
TIME

| There are very great differ
ences Of opinion at the Capitol
about the possibility of enact
ing District legislation at the
special session Of Congress
which begins next month.
Many Of the Congressional lead
Ars now in the city confidently ex-
press the prediction that legislation
at the special session will be con-
fined to farm relief and the tariff.
Others, however, are doubtful OF
their ability to hold things in con-
troll and expect that before the end
OF the session it will be wide
open"
Hold Whip Hand
The possibility of enacting legis.
lation other than farm relief and
the tariff is frequently discussed
on the hill these days. And nearly
every time it is mentioned a new
view Is expressed.
House leaders hold the whip hand.
They have announced that only a
few committees will be organized.
But Iney nave dOHlAICSu Tic pOSSA-
bility of enacting some Legislation
under a special rule without send
ing it through committee. If they
start that there is no telling how
far the movement will 60.
Also it is almost certain that the
House will complete action on the
farm relief and tariff bills long be-
fore the Senate does because of its
stricter rules. What will it do then?
If the Senate meanwhile has passed
other legislation how can the House
leaders refuse to act upon 1t. Those
are questions frequently asked.
Senator Smoot of Utah believes
that legislation will be strictly lin
tied in the coming session. But he
admits the possibility OF the Senate
acting on legislation other than farm
r>lief and tariff. His contention is
that such legislation will not get
through the House.
There will" not even be a deficiency
appropriation bill, in Senator Smoot's
opinion. Failure to enact de-
ficiency bill would hold up many
local projects.
The consensus Of opinion IS that
the Senate session will be more or
less open, and that only few IA
vored bills will get through the
House, But everybody admits any
thing may happen"
