Oily Hair.

OAlJ 4AoAAs
Dear Miss Leeds-My hair is very
oily. 1t will not keep curl in one
day, even after it is washed. My head
itself is very dry. Will you please tell
me what can use on my hairp Thank
ing you, JESSIE.
Answer-Very oily hair is often the
indication of a rundown state of health
and then, of course, the first step is
to tone up the health in general. II
you feel that your general health Is
not what it should be, should advise
you to consult a physician.
Now, for the care of the hair It
self: First, see that the hair is thor
oughly aired every day. Let 1t hang
losely while it is shaken and famed.
Do not wear tight, unventilated hats.
Brush your hair thoroughly every day,
and when brushing use forward, up
ward strokes so that the air may get
to the scalp.
Here is a splendid tonic for oily
hair: One-fourth ounce bicarbonate
of soda, two ounces cologne water,
one ounce distilled water, two drains

night and the scalp massaged for ten

Use an eyecup and battle the eyes in

Another exercise which is good for
the eyes is to close them and roll the

BELIEVES RUBBER
MAY GROW IN u. S.
Or. SwingIe Sees Possibility
of Production in Two
States.
BY JOHN F. SINCLAIR,

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 18.-Will rubber
be produced in the United States before
many years pass? DR.. Charles F. SWIM
gle, botanist of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, thinks there Is
much hope for it in the introduction of
the intisy shrub, or three, brought over
from its native home in Madagascar and
now growing in Southern California and
Florida.
It's a small shrub or tree, leafiess,
scraggiy in appearance, but with an
ability to grow in very dry regions. The
roots resemble links of sausage and act
as reservoirs for water.
Discovered in Madagascar in 1891. the
annual rubber exploitation moved up
from $4,000 pounds to almost 1000 900
pounds a year. But ruthless exploita-
ton caused it to become almost extinct
in its native country.
1.-THE yield of rubber from stems less
than one inch in diameter is so slight
that it does not pay to tap them" says
Dr. SWingle. During the time of COM
mercial exploitation spiral cuts were
made all the way up the tree, and yields
of Is pounds or more of rubber was
obtained from a single tree. But in
many cases the tapping was so severe
that the tree died outright"
The experiments proceeding now in
Southern California and Florida are be-
ing carefully watched by the United
States Government authorities, as well
as by the rubber manufacturers.
Newfoundland may have been cold
and wintry and far away. but her paper
mills operated at 98.5 per cent of ca
pacity during January, February and
March: those in the United States at
303 per cent, while Canadian paper
mills operated at but 1914 per cent Of
regular capacity.
Canada, the big noise in news print
manufacture, shipped out more than
she produced in the quarter. Her pro-
duction amounted to 207 ,435 tons and
her shipments to 208,629 tons. The
United States did not do so well. Her
paper mills produced 113,328 tons, and
shipped los, 1856 tons.
Digging in little, the Canadian mills
produced 15,076 tons less in the first
three months of 1880 than in the first
three months of 1929, a decrease of but
2 per cent over the first quarter of 1929.
The United States increased per cent,
but Newfoundland increased IA per cent.
What about paper stocks on hand?
At the end of March, Canadian mills
had on hand 80, SOL tons of paper, while
the United States mills had 24,004 tons
Putting them together we find 81 ,665
tons, equivalent to but 81 days average
production.
Not bad at all-really, record to
be proud of.

ADVANCE IN SUGAR
PRICES DISCOUNTED
Official Circles Believe In
crease in Crop viii
Prevent Rise.
BY ]. C. ROYLE.

Possibilities of startling advance in
the price of either raw or refined sugar
are being discounted in official circles
here This opinion takes full cognizance
of any possible increase in tariff rates
which may be agreed upon when the
tariff bill finally is passed.
1t is based largely on the report OF
the Bureau of Agriculture Economics,
just made public, which fixes the esti-
mated 1929-30 sugar crop Of the
world at 29.833, 900 short tons, COM
pared with last seasons record crop
of 30,281 900 tons. The worlds visible
supply of sugar has increased. Visible
supplies before the beginning Of the
grinding of the Cuban crop, which is
Just getting under way, were over
100000 tons more than they were a
year ago.
Large Visible Supply.
The 1929-30 sugar crop seems likely
to be larger than that in any year pre-
vious to 1928-29. Consumption has in
creased but it has not kept pace with
production and the visible supply Is the
largest in history.
Cuba has tried various methods of
sugar price maintenance, including gov
eminent marketing control, but none
has proved effective. 1t has been almost
impossible to restrict production in the
island because the growing of cane is
almost entirely in the hands of tenant
farmers or "colonos," as they are called.
If they are prevented from planting and
producing cane to the utmost, they drift
away and become lost to the land own
ers when the latter need them.
Europe is striving to become inde-
pendent of imports by raising its own
sugar and some countries provide a
subsidy for beet sugar production.
The statistical position outlined
above accounts for the low prices which
have obtained for year. The aver
age wholesale price of raws at New
York in 1929 was 3.8 cents a pound,
compared with AZ cents in 1928, and
was the lowest on record except in 1918,
when the average was 3.5 cents. No
improvement in prices is anticipated
here until the statistical position has
been corrected, although the size of the
Cuban crop still remains a matter of
some speculation.
Other Industries Aided.
While this situation has depressed
the sugar producers of this country, the
stability of the price level has aided
other industries materially. The ice
cream, confectionery, candy and soft
drink lines count on satisfactory sea-
son as result of this factor.
The can and container industries ex-
pect big and prosperous year.
Producers of the newer forms of
enamels and paints also will find their
supplies stabilized, as will all users of
industrial alcohol, much of which is
produced from molasses. This will open
new avenues of distribution for can
products.

DEMAND FOR AUTOS
SHOWING INCREASE

With automobile sales to date more
fully sustained than production. unsold
stocks of new cars at the start of the
current quarter were some IS per cent
smaller than those of year ago and
amounted TO little more than months
supply at the entrance to the normal
season of heavy demand, according to
the Standard Statistics Co. of New
York, portion of whose current survey
follows:
with this condition currently pre-
vailing and with the success recently
met in the disposal of used cars, manu-
facturers' production schedules for
April have been increased appreciably,
and output this month will undoubtedly
be substantially above that of any pre-
vious 1880 period. although still well
below that of April, 1929.
For the second quarter as a whole
there is no reason to believe that the
usual expansion will be unrealized, and
production of cars and trucks for the
period may we'll approach 100000
units, although any exact forecast must
await more clearly defined indications
of demand during early future weeks.
For the full year 1880 we still expect a
total output around 100000 vehicles"
