Answer-Q) Give your hair a hot
oil treatment with olive oil once week
and follow with shampoo. This will
gradually tone down the red. A few
drops of bluing in your last rinSing
water will also help, but be careful not
to use too much; have the water
pale blue. You must wait for your hair
to grow out again and then clip on the
red ends. Afterward you may use
mild blonde rinse to bring out the

RADIO HELD AID.
To PROSPERITY
High Low | Last

Assistant Secretary Of Com.
merce Julius Klein, in a radio
address last night. lauded the
radio industry as perhaps the
most prodigious infant in the
history of American industries,
with a present capital investment
of $4,000, ,000, ,009-as much as the
capital investment in the entire
softcoal mining industry.
Railway Investment
American railways, he pointed
out, have an investment of only
$4,000, 900, 900. and National Ship
ping and Canals, one Of the old.
est pursuits of the country, have
capitalization Of only $3,000,-
900, 900.
DR.. Klein declared that much
Of the success Of radio is prob.
ably due to the wise policy of
this Government in not adopting
it as a Government monopoly
but rather allowing it to develop
and grow as a private industry.
In England, he said, radio is
under monopoly, and the total
budget for entertainment for a
year there is about $7,000,000
In this country the amount spent
to the same end is about $780,
100000.
Double Production
Radio is in such a position at
the present time, he said, that it
may serve to pull the nation
through the present crisis. It
is estimated, DR.. Klein said, that
radio factories will have to dou.
BILE production in the next two
years if they are to keep pace
with demand, and this greatly
increased business may pull the
country through its present diff
culties.
In 1875. he said, it was the
growth of railroads which speeded
recovery; in the 1905 it was
the bicycle industry, and in 1921
1t was the automobile industry.

will come through a natural
process of correcting unsound

ton in the past. The result is
seen in our huge, unwieldy, over

Panaceas OverwOrked
There is too much faith in pan
aceas-too much of the idea that
by some piece of engineering we
can make business good. A world
wide business depression is a very
different matter from a MissiS-
sippi Valley flood.
We have gotten too much of
the idea that the government"
can do something about it. We
need more of the Self-reliance Of
our pioneering forefathers. We
should not be looking for an out
side stimulus.
In fact, there is plenty of busi-
ness stimulus within individual
business men. The one great
stimulus to business activity is
the desire of the individual busi-
ness man to make money.
There are also the widespread
desires to acquire power, and to
be able to live we'll and make a
display of ones prosperity.
Working Way Out
Most of us have these desires.
We do not have to worry about
stimulating business. Today thou
sands and thousands of business
men are working and Scheming
to find the way to prosperity.
And they are going to find the
way. Even today, not a few
stores and factories are making
money.
We must quit waiting for "the
Government" to do something, or
for "the market" to turn up.
It's up to you to find your
own way to prosperity.

SUGAR DUTY HIT
BY SEN. GEORGE

The wordy, partisan battle over
the Smoot-Hawley tariff law was
renewed today as the Democratic
National Committee circulated a
statement by Senator Walter F.
George CD of Georgia assailing
the sugar schedule and demand
ing that Senator Smoot (R) of
Utah attempt to justify it.
Senator George, a member of
the Finance Committee, of which
Smoot is chairman, said:
Perhaps Senator SmOOt will
give to the American people
some valid reason for a duty of
some II per cent on sugar,
while chemicals. have the ad-
vantage of an, average rate of
81 per cent; metals, S5 per
cent and wood and wood manu-
factures only Is per cent.
"The cultivation of the sugar
beet requires little or no skilled
labor. 1t would be interesting
to have the Republican party
advise how much in dollars

the wage Of the beet sugar
workers by the SmOot- Hawley
act"

WESTERN FRUIT
SHIPMENTS
INCREASE
Up More Than Third in June
And Gain for Six Months in
California Is II Per Cent

Car loadings in the United
States as a whole have been
lower the first six months of 1881
than in the period last year,
shipments of perishables from
California have shown an in
crease of 1872 per cent. accord
ing to the American Railway AS
sociation.
For the half year, the Cali
fornia movement of perishableS
totaled 141,731 cars. compared
with 126,342 cars, loaded in the
like period of 1880.
Third Gain for June
In June, the total movement
was 1884 cars against 28,421 in
1880 an increase of 31.1 per cent,
and in the first five months Of
this year a gain of 81 per cent
was netted.
The larger movement has been
directly reflected in revenues Of
Pacific Fruit Express, jointly
owned by Southern Pacific Co.
and Union Pacific System. It
supplied more cars for loading
in June. 1881, than in any like
month in it's history. It had
40,890 cars in service, of which
1888 cars were on contract lines.
AtchiSon, which operates its
own refrigerator car service, on
June 8, last. had 18,808 cars in
operation, of which 10000 were
on the systems line west Of
Albuquerque.
Many More CantaIOupes \
The Imperial Valley shipped
13,051 cars of cantaloupes last
month against 8,616 in June, 1880.
For the six months, 1920 cars
were loaded against 1876 in 1880
period.
Orange shipments in the first
half of 1881 totaled 34,790 cars
against 2S,076 last year. Lemon
shipments aggregated 9,110 cars
against 6,618 in 1880. Vegetable
shipments were off to 52,121 cars
from 57,136 in the first half Of

June Quarter Profits Higher
BY IS Per Cent Than March,
Survey by Moody's Finds

A distinctly better trend in
earnings as second-quarter reports
continue to appear is noted by
Moody's Investors Service in an
analysis based upon results an
nounced by 184 large industrial
companies, which show aggregate
profits for the June quarter 35.6
per cent higher than in the pre-

The extra-seasonal character Of
this advance. the survey states,
contrasts with a gain of only 81
per cent for the same corpora
tions from the first TO the second
quarter of 1880.
Drop for Half Year
Including I'll railroads and 46
utilities which have reported on
a five-month basis, total net of
629 companies for the first half
Of this year was 1914 per cent
less than in 1890. For 294 in
duStrialS the decrease amounted
to 44.9 per cent. Moody's says:
Further reduction of Operat-
ing costs doubtless contributed
In large measure to improved

owed when comparison is made
with the same period in 1880,
