BEAUTY CHATS
By Edna Kent Forbes.
Permanent Waving.

Ever had a permanent? Here's
what happens-after you've paid your
money.
First your hair is washed most thor
oughly, to make it as clean as possible,
and rinSed most thoroughly so no alkali
from the soap remains in it. Then the
still wet hair Is divided into thin strands
and each one is twisted round a curler
Here is where your money counts, for
a good shop will employ skilled people,
and skill is needed to wind the hair
properly. Most use the half-twist meth
cd and fiat winding as well. (Flat
winding needs a little finger waving
after the shampoo each time for real
beauty.)
Once wound, spools are put over the
curriers' and the heating begins. There
days little borax is used, some use an
oil process. Heat need not be applied
more than IS minutes. Don't let 1t be.
hair, 60 to q shop with newer methods.
The worst Of permanent waving used to
be that the long steaming harmed the
hair. But IS minutes Is all right, and
some heads take less than 10.
What really happens Is that the char
acter of the hair is changed. Real wavy
hair takes up moisture and curls; this
Steam1ng process so opens the cells OF
each hair that they stay open and take
in moisture, while the winding fixes
them in q nicely done wave to begin
with.
After the spools have been removed,
the curriers' unwound. the hair is washed
again and set in place with a finger
wave. To keep a permanent nice look
ing, you must before every single sham
poo use a lot of olive oil. Otherwise
the hair looks crisp and dull after the
washing. But by using ever so much
oil on the scalp some hours before the
shampoo, your permanent will have no
bad effects and your scalp will be
healthy.
v. G.-Gray hair at 18 years of age
shows there is something wrong either
with your nervous system or your scalp.
Better have a specialist examine your
scalp, and he should also know If the
trouble Is coming from your general
health.

Another Grave Problem.

II it is not one thing it is another.
Just about a month ago the United
States Lawn Tennis Association sue
cessfully disposed of the latest "Tilden
case" when it persuaded the tennis
star to play on the Davis Cup team
and break his contract to write of the
matches for a newspaper syndicate.
And even though the United States
lost tn France the u. S. L. 7. A. had
the satisfaction Of knowing that its best
performer had been kept free from
any faint of professionalism, which, Of
course, would not have been possible
if he had, as a noted authority, &C
cepted money for covering the play.
But now real problem has arisen, and
one that will probably take much de-
liberation to solve.
Described by one tennis ofiicial as
poser" the situation that has arisen
is this: Helen Wills Moody, champion
of champions OF the feminine court
contingent, was left twenty Thousand

James d. Phclsn in appreciation oil

Public Base Ball Diamonds.

The four base ball diamonds on the
Ellipse where Washington's sandlot
league base ball teams battle it out
every afternoon, are in better condition
this year than last, but it is unfortunate
that more effort has not been made to
make them the perfect layoutS they
might be. The base paths are narrow
and rough. Fielding a sharply hit
grounder in the infield becomes almost
as much a matter of luck as of skill.
The dust in spots is ankle deep. Every
slide sets up a smoke screen that oblit-
crates the play. And while the dry
weather and the hot sun are largely to
blame, there is no reason why these
diamonds should not be adequately pre-
pared and arranged and kept up to
snuff during the playing season.
Amateur base ball players who travel
to other cities for friendly games point
to the contrast between the public dia-
monds here and those, for instance, in
Indianapolis, Richmond or in nearby
Baltimore. These cities, it is said, have
made the playing flelds, with their care
fully cut grass and smooth, hard, rolled
dirt surfaces, JOY to the heart of any
ball player and an attractive adornment
to the parks.
Was.lington's public golf links have
been well planned and they are well
kept. The base ball diamonds deserve
as much attention. The chief difficulty
may lie II the fact that the diamonds
have never been properly laid out in
respect to the base paths and sod. It
might be necessary to apply top soil
that would respond more readily to
regular rolling and wetting down.
Whatever the dificulty is, it should be
remedied after this season closes, so
that next year the diamonds will live
up to their fine surroundings and rep
resent the best that can be made.

Moves on China's Chessboard.

A distinct victory for the Marking
Nationalist government in China is
in the recapture of Tsinaniu,
the capital of the province of Shan
tung, which was taken by the North
ern coalitionists about two months ago.
Announcement to the effect of this
achievement comes, it seems. from
President Chang Kai-shek in the field,
1t is Enthusiastically received with
reserve" by the correspondents at
Shanghai inasmuch as there is no
corroboration from the Northern au-
thorities.
If it be true that Tsinanfu has been
taken and the coslitionists have been
driven back with heavy loss OF sup
plies, the situation for the Nationalist
government becomes much easier. The
occupation of the provincial capital has
given the Shansi armies of the North
a material advantage through the con-
troll OF the junction Of the rail lines
leading to Tsingtau, chief port OF
Shangtung, and TO Marking and Shsng-
hal. Tsinanfu, moreover Is on the yell
ow River, little more than che hundred
miles from the mouth, and thus has q
strategic value in control Of the water
course for trcop transportation. II
Chang Kai-shek has taken the city
and can hold it against counterattacks
he will be In a stronger position to
meet the Shansi onset in Honan, which
is the real battle-ground in the war
between the Southern Nationalist and
the Northern coalitionIsts.

South has not been lessensd, The Ma

trated in the North and apparently

Mr. Mood- ss professional. The U. S.
L. T. A. has looked silly enough in the
past in some notable cases and there
is no need to repeat the offense. The
late Senator was great lover of his
State. He left fortune estimated at
more than ten million dollars. He was
passionately interested in anything that
would promote the welfare OF California
and when Gertrude Anterior, author
of Black Oxen" attained prominence
in the literary world and Helen Wills, a
native daughter, brought honor and
glory to California in the tennis world
he determined that they, along with
many others, should be equally remem-
nered in his will California, first. last
and always, was the late Senator's
motto. and it is a matter of no surprise
to those who knew him that he made
requests to those, whoever they were
who. indirectly or directly, promoted
the interests of the State.
1t is as it should be that strict rules
of eligibility should govern amateur
tennis. No one can possibly ind any
fault with that premise. But there are
few, However, outside of the govern
ing officials of the tennis body who
believe that writing articles for news
papers, for instance, puts a tennis
player under the banner of profess
sionalism. And certainly 1t is going
more than one step further to attempt
to brand with professionalism woman
who receives bequest from a fellow
Californian in appreciation of what she
has done to bring glory to the State.
Helen Wills Moody is All amateur. and
probably always will be, the late Sen
ator Phelan's will to the contrary not
withstanding.

Individual Farmers Distress
Greatest Problem of Droughl

them in a crisis" thinks the Lexington
Leader, while the Charleston Evening
Post advises that "the best that can
be done is to relieve distress due to
lack of food, If such condition exists"
1T appears that no Justification ex-
lists for a general advance in retail
food prices at this time, though advices
from the large cities indicate that such
movement has begun asserts the
Springfield Union, and the Richmond
News Leader says that where the
drought is actually responsible for cur
failing seriously the country's produc-
ton, the consumers must be prepared
to pay more, but they must take pains
to see that the drought is reason
and not merely an excuse"
Optimism from President Hoover Is
mentioned by the Newark Evening
News, and that paper makes the fur
ther argument. "Other of1cials as
we'll informed as the President agree
with him as to the suficiency Of human
food almost everywhere except as to
fresh vegetables but these findings do
not prevent extortioners from attempt
ing to boost prices on commodities not
affected in the slightest by the lack of
rain. A general decision by average
consumers not to be so 'choosy' viii
have a salutary effect on the wretches
who try to profit from adversely"
Referring to the States involved In
the Federal measures of relief, the San
Antonio Express offers the Judgment:
THE belt here represented-stretchi
from the Northern Rockies to the At
lantic Seaboard, across fertile prairie
country-might be called the granary of
America. Total crop failure in that
region would be indeed serious, but that
has not come to pass. The Winter
wheat harvest is already in, and In
many parts-thanks to local rains
enough corn and other feedstuffs viii
be produced to tide the community
over to another growing season.
Drought is not so bad as flood, for even
the worst sufferers still have a roof
over their heads. They have, or can
obtain, food: the official survey shows
that the Nation has abundant wheat,
potatoes and other vegetables to meet
all needs"

Maryland Left Out.

There Is irony in the complaint of
Maryland, through its distinguished
chief executive, over having been left
out of the conference on drought relief
measures. If the conference had been
in the nature of a chubby gathering, adj
mission to which was based on past
records of the States in cooperating
with the Federal Government. one can
almost visualize the official inviter at
the White House coming to the name
of Richie and viewing it with alarm.
"Now here is Richie" says the Of
fetal inviter. What do we have on
him?"
Records are searched, and it is re-
vealed that when President Harding
called on the Governors Of all coal
mining States to hold their troops in
readiness to deal with possible riots in
connection with the soft coal strike,
Gov. Ritcnie replied thai he would do
nothing of the sort, and that Mary
land could take care of labor troubles
In other ways than BY shooting or
threatening TO shoot the strikers.
THAT lcolS rather bad" says the
ofscisl inviter Anything else3"
The leaves Of the big book rustic
again and 1t Is found that when Presi-
dent Coolidge called conference of
Governors to urge State cooperation in
enforcement of prohibition, Gov. Ritchie
not only made q speech to the con-
ference declining to cooperate, but
gave it out to the newspapers after
ward, and Gov. Ritchie's remarks at
tracted more attention than the con-
ference itself.
THAT ends it. Strike him on" says
the official inviter. He might tell the
President that Maryland can take care
of the rain without aid from the Fed
eral Government"
But as a matter of fact this interest
ing line of conjecture comes to nothing
in the face of reasonable assurance
that had Gov. Ritchie so much as sent
a telegram or telephone message to the
White House, saying that ne would like
10 come, the White House would proba-
bly, have sent guard of honor to bring
him. The Governor of Maryland adorns
any gathering. And the conferees~seem
to have been selected from the group Of
States that asked for help.
The conference on the drought has
shown nothing so much as the fact that
the States themselves must take the
initiative in putting through relief
measures for the farmers. and that the
Federal Governments share Is neces-
sarily confined to helping those who
help themselves. Those States that
adopt relief programs will find no dim
Guilty in securing cooperation from the
Government at Washington, conference
or no conference.
