The question seems to be HOW to wig
it up enchantingly. The back of Ara

the circumstances. She wants her hair

as it was when it was cut like boys up
the back. No struggling wisps, but a
carven contour that makes a definite i'm,

So WHY should her hair be done exactly
like an army of other girls is done. Every
one knows that the girls of the movie
and stage world have always pleased them
selves in the matter of hair. No two are
much alike except in a general way. It's
the girl of society who cuts her hair to
pattern, and the average artist is deadly
weary Of that eternal hair contour that
faces him out of every magazine lad" and
social section, and out Of the pages of
the daily papers, that head carefully

hair on one side or the other Of the fore

with every head exactly the filling Of that
formula. and consequently exactly alike.

Many people have what they
call neuralgia headaches, but
most of them on investigation
turn out to be migraine.
Neuralgia means literally pain
in a nerve, and real neuralgia
headaches are characterized by
pain especially in the course of
a nerve.
The largest sensory nerve
by which is meant nerve capa-
BILE of sensation or feeling and
hence of pain-in the head is
the tifacial nerve, or trigem-
inal nerve. 1t has three branches
one going to the lower jaw,
the teeth in the lower jaw and
the skin over the lower jaw;
another going to the upper jaw,
teeth and skin Of the nose and
cheek; the third going to the
forehead, eyeball, etc.
Mo TOrturing Pain
Facial neuralgia is pain in
one or the other or all three
of these nerves. In its SeVereSt
form it is probably the most
torturing pain a human belnu
can endure. In this form 1t af-
flicts mostly elderly people, being
a little more frequent in men
than in women. The pain comes
in attacks which draw the face
into a spasm of pain Of a grind
ing, tearing agonizing character.
The slightest thing will start
the pain off-a gust OF wind
over the face, noise, jar or
jolt, even the slamming OF
door.
Much advance has been made
in the treatment Of the disease
by surgical methods. 1t is
possible to inject the nerve in
any of its branches with an
alcoholic solution which destroys
the nerve. A hypodermic needle
can be thrust through the skin
of the face at exactly the right
spot to enter the nerve; when
the injection is made properly
the pain stops instantaneously.
The look Of relief that comes
over the patients face as the
solution begins to work is
enough reward for any surgeon.
Lower Half Headache
Another form of neuralgia
headache is the sort named
lower half headache" by the
late DR.. Sluder, of st. Louis.
1t begins in a ganglion which
is located inside the nose. Dis
ease of the nose will affect this
ganglion and cause the
neuralgia. The pain is in the
lower half Of the face on the
affected side.

Her eyes wandered to the

"Hullo." Phil was on his feet

The banal greetings sent a

The air in the little cabaret
was misty with smoke. Through
the fog Of it. a saXaphone was
moaning, and the slow teasing
music of a waltz was lifting.
Now the lights were dimmed
and glow played on the dancers
on the floor, dyeing their faces
scarlet and turning the eGdicS
Of smoke to flame.
A lazy, Sensuous waltz. the,
tinkle of the piano was barely
audible. Sometimes it seemed
as far away as a dream some
where in the past.
Then a blue light, casting
strange, ghoStly shadows on the
couples on the floor, Sickly
wicked shadows. The music
quickened. No longer was the
Saxaphone, a soft, weeping, IAN
gorouS instrument. 1t was mad,
crazy, accompanied by cymbals,
by a drum that doomed a mad
dening cadence, by piano that
screamed and cried in agony.
The dancers swung out OF the
waltz, and into something else.
Anything. The Charleston, the
Black Bottom, the Varsity Drag.
The small floor which had
held them comfortably when
they were Waiting. was
crowded, packed with pushing,

A Privilege Of the Bride.to-be
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
/. When a couple have been
engaged for two years, Is 1t
proper for the girl to suggest
the date of marriage, or should
she wait until he decides upon
a date?
"A" insists that the man
should say when they will or
will not be married. and "B"
insists it is the privilege of
the girl to set the date. Who
is correct?
2. Would the same ruling
apply nine or ten years ago
as we'll Us today?
Financial matters have no
bearing in this case. for the
girl would continue working
at the office.

fluctuating mind into safe
channels of correct morals and
honest effort.

Who? Oh, Phil. he won't

Tony, and their dance. Phil

said. And I knew the first
time I saw you in the lobby,
there in the SHETLAND building,
that I'd be dancing with you
some day"
Anyway, you've got a good

Dee hoped he did, but you
couldn't Say that. She hoped
she'd be dancing with Tony

They passed close to Phil,
but neither saw him. He was
sitting alone watching them.
DO you work in the Swet-

"Yeh, for the Culbert Com

Company. They were on the
third floor. and her company,
the Likely Insurance, was on

Tony, she could speak to him
when she saw him
A Lot Of Difference
Have you known Nancy
long?" what difference did it
make whether he did or not?
But now. to Dee, as she was
dancing, IL seemed to make
great deal of difference.
"Oh. a couple of months.
Nice girl"
"Yes." So Tony thought
Nancy was a nice girl! Well,
she was-Dee supposed. Yes,
she had always liked Nancy,
with her flaming red hair. her
small nose still freckled and
childish. Tony thought she
was nice, though.
"Are-you with her tonight?"
mo, I'm Staging"
A little sigh of relief.
Can 1 call you up some day?"
"Sure-call me at the office.
You can find that number
easier" Dee caught her breath
He wanted to take her out!
The music stopped and there
was flutter of clapping. A
musician was wiping his hot
brow with a blue silk handker-
chief. Another was taking a
drink of water from a tall, thick
glass.

Leave Man His Vanity

Taking the vanity out Of
a manor out Of a woman
either-is as cruel and wanton
as taking the Wag out Of a
dogs tail.
1t leaves them both so limp
and purposeless.
Vanity is perhaps the cause
of many of our sins and fol-
lies, but it is also the source
of most of our virtues and
achievements.
1t is VANITY that causes a
man to shave his chin-and
thereby makes his kisses en-
durable.
1t is vanity that makes him
resist the third helping and
the second glass. for fear he
may lose his WaiStline and his
youthful charm-and thereby
saves him from gluttony.
1t is vanity that prompts
him to cultivate the arts and
graces so dear to a woman's
heart. in the cold fear of being
written down in her books as
a "boor" or a dub"
1t is vanity that inspires him
to keep the polish on his boots
and his manners, and the
creaSeS in his trousers, so that
he may appear prosperous"
1t is vanity that drives him
on to hard work and to his
greatest efforts and achieve
ments, so that he may be
success in the eyes of the world
and of the woman he loves.
Vanity may even make him
scrupulous about keeping his
word and paying his bills, so
that he may not be called a
"four-flusher."
It may be vanity that in
spires him to be generous with
his money, and to lavish it on
his family and on his chart.
ties, lest he be termed a Cheap
skate or "tightwad."
1t is vanity that causes him
to cover his wife with Jewels
and SableS for the admiratio
of the world.
Even his morality and up-
rightness may be inspired by
vanity, in his anxiety to be
known as good and worthy"
Wasn't it the vanity of Napol-
con that drove him on to con-
quest and victory?
And the vanity Of Diogenes
that caused him to be so frank
and truthful?
And the vanity of Hercules
that inspired him to feats Of
strength and courage?
Yea, verify. and the most
cruel and foolish thing a woman
can do is to shatter a mans
vanity!
For this Is the softeSt spot In
his make-up-and without IL

she will never be able to lead
him in the way he should go.
Through his vanity a man
may be flattered into heaven:
whereas, nagging, reasoning
and coercion will roll right off
him, like water off a gabled
roof.
Rob a man of his money. his
friends, or his dearest wish
but leave him his sacred SELF
ESTEEM!
And the world is his!

Washington. July 15-(UP)- - nations railroads opening their fight for increased freight rates, brought 10 the interstate commerce commission today a story of de- pleted earnings and of financial distrust which they said had les sened their ability adequately to serve the public.
 The commissions hearings on the railroads petition for a IS per cent general increase in freight rates and charges began with the main hearing room, on the 11th floor of the commissions Building, crowded with auditors.
 Dr Julius IT.. Parmelee, director of the Bureau of Railroad Econo- mics, testified that despite the most rigorous economy and great est operating efficiency railroads had been unable to make fair living in the past decade. He de- tailed the financial condition of the railroads. describing their de- cllning rate of return. the falling off of traffic and increasing cost of operation.

 Bikle said the railroads had amended their original petition for a IS per cent general freight rate increase to except coal and coke. The railroads desire to maintain existing dffferential on coal and coke.
 Parmelee said the railroads had reached the limit of their ability to cope with economic condition..
 The declining revenue per ton mile and the sharp drop in traffic have brought reduction in re- uenue greater than the savings due to increased efficiency and econ omy of operation" Parmelee said
 He said that during the period from 1923 to 1880 the carriers spent $7.000. 100000 (billions) fer additions and betterments. The shortage of earnings below a 5 3-I per cent return amounted to B. 574.877,000 (billions) from 1921 to 1930. Since 1920, when the last previous rate increase was auth oriZed, reductions In the rate structure had cut the carriers freight revenue by more than $G,- 50 00,000.000 (billions) he added.
