and not at variance. The skill of the
decorator is shown in the correct as

Training Hair.

Jack had lovely thick lustrous brown
hair, but it was stubborn" I could
not keep part in it and consequently
he Just wore 1t in bangs" But when
he was ready to go into the third
grade I decided that something would
surely have to be done about that
hair. SO got good hair lotion and
rubbed quite a bit onto his hair after
washing. Then I parted it nicely
and put q small cap on him to wear
to bed so that his hair would stay
in place at least overnight, which is
one-half Of his time. made the cap
from an old stocking of mine, which
I cut of about eight inches from the
top. Then I tied a knot on the cut
end, forming a cap which fitted snugly
on Jacks head. At the end of a week
there was great improvement and
now, at the end of two months, Jacks
hair is as well groomed as any young
mans.

Shampoo for Wavy Hair.

Dear Miss Leeds--t1) What kind Of
@ shampoo do you think is best for hair
that Is slightly wavy? Have you any spe-
cial hints for coaxing the natural wave
in the hair after washing?
PERPLEXED.
Answer-(D There are several rules

never rub the hair with cake of soap,
but reduce the soap to liquid or jelly
first. Second, do not use hard water.
Third, do not use water that is too hot;
Just hot enough to make rich lather
and dissolve the grease, oil and dirt in
the hair. Fourth, rinse thoroughly at
least three or four times in clear, tepid
water. Fifth, do not use strong artificial
heat to dry the hair, but squeeze it
gently between warmed towels. You

MY Neighor Says:

The most delicate fabrics may
be washed in bran water. To
prepare, fill a cheesecloth bag
with bran, pour boiling water over
it, leave for 10 minutes, then
squeeze out the bag and remove.
The water is tssen ready for use.
To remove covers from preserve
jars place the far top downward
in a dipper of hot water (not
boiling and allow 1t to remain
5 or 10 minutes. Remove the jar
from the dipper and insert steel
kitchen knife at different points
under the rubber. This will let
in the air. The cover can then
be removed easily.
II silk stockings are washed
Out each time after they are
worn. they will last months
longer.
To avoid scraping carrots, wash
them well and put them on TO
boil for about 10 minutes. Then
remove from fire, peel and resume
cooking as usual.

 In democratic circles here and elsewhere in the state opinion 's that the party leader in the senate will be Frank S. Bergin, of this city. who so served last session, while the democratic leader in the house will be epresentative William NJ. Citron of Middletown, who was the leader four years ago.
 Dean Wilbur L. Cross, governor elect said yesterday that no one knows what will be in his inaugural message.

.F0G ALONE COULD
 NOT CAUSE DEATH
Contamination Of Some Sort
 Present in Mystery Mist

Brussels, Dec g LPy-An emphatic declaration that the fog in the Mouse valley which took 67 lives last week could not have killed any, one if it had been uncontamlnatcd. was made today by Prof. Nolf pres- ident of the Belgian Red Cross at the opening Of an official inquiry into the disaster.
 His statement aroused lively in- terest by giving some support to belief that noXious fumes from in- dustrial plants in the Engis district were responsible for the deaths. The health commission, after hurried investigation last week. announced that the deaths were attributable to the weakened respiratory system of the victims.
 Members of that commission who sat with the board converting today said their work had been difficult because by the time they reached the Engis area the fog had disappeared.
 Dr. Felix Bertyn, Of the Royal Me- neurological institute. and Prof. Bor- det, the noted bactcriolosiSt, agreed with Prof. Nolf. that the fog alone could not have caused all the deaths.
