Oily hair seldom is beautiful.
 Besides, 1t generally signifies an
 unhealthy condition of the scalp. It is quite possible to cure ex-
 cessive oiliness but 1t takes time
 and patience and diligent treat ment. The best thing to do, of course,
 is to put yourself in the hands of a hair specialist who can, diagnose your hair and scalp and prescribe adequate treatment. However, if that is impossible, select tonic
 designed to correct the fault. There
 are several fine tonics for oily hair [ on the market today.
 Follow the, directions on the bot l tie carefully.
 Be sure your tonic suits your particular kind of defect. Some oily hair is accompanied by scali- ness which looks like dandruff on lthe scalp. There is a special tonic which will correct the scaly con- dition, at the same time 1t lessens
 the flow of oil.
 Most women with oily hair wash | 1t too often. Instead of curing, they tend to relax and loosen the oil glands of the scalp, causing more and more oil to flow. The right kind of tonic should have astringent properties and be a cleansing agent too. Thens by

|, that has been deranged by wrong living. Man is the prize fool of the universe about this. Other animals, even in captivity or in service to man. never have such troubles unless their idiotic masters choose to impose the evils of physics upon them.
 Any victim of the constipation habit who hopes to break the habit needs the assurance which only a knowledge of the physiology of the subject gives. I have struggled long with the problem of how to teach this physiology to the wise- acre population and like the noun tain that labored I have brought forth a wee little booklet which, I think, contains all the assurance the victim requires to overcome his habit. Send a dime (not stamps) and 8 stamped envelope bearing your address, and ask for. the book let "The Constipation Habit.'
 When you received the booklet, read it over not just hurriedly, but leisurely and thoughtfully. If you come upon anything you don't quite savvy, take it up with me by letter and we'll try to smooth out the path for you-that is. if you are sincere about it. Don't start any strikes or anything like that until you are sure you're right. Then go ahead and le'me have the good word when you've won your vic- tory.

II do not. I am strongly in favor of federal divorce law, but it should be based upon a deeper study of human psychology and bi- ology than its advocates seem. to have given it. Many of the worlds greatest families and individuals have been the product of long se- ries of cousin marriage, even brother and sister marriages. In Switzerland an individual can hard ly marry any one not his first or second cousin. If the stock Is good cousin marriages bring together the good qualities; if bad they bring together the bad qualities. Each cousin marriage should be determined on its merits by expert biologists. shall gladly send my little booklet on Cousin Marriages to any one interested. Enclose self addressed, stamped envelope.

FEAR, HEALTH, CHARACTER
 AND HABIT

At first blush it might seem that a health teacher is a bit outside of his province talking about charac- ter, but after all character is de- termined largely by health; all the teachings of hygiene or rules of health are consistent with and the study of and obedience to them is conducive to good morals as well as good health.
 It is a well recognized fact that the cultivation of, bad habits is not only due to weak will, lack of character. but also tends to weak en the will and character. It is a vicious. circle. This is the reason why all teachers, whether their concern is the mind, the body or tn soul, make such a point of pledging the boy or girl against the first cigarette or the first drink. There has never been time when parents teachers or others who have any influence over children could do more good than they can right now by exacting such pledges from every child. By child I mean any individual who has not yet at tained full adult development and presumably adult independence Mduy Cullurou uO uOL dLCaln SuCn independence much before the age of 25 years. One of the saddest spectacles in life is the youth who smokes, drinks, gambles and enter tains wild women at the expense of the fools who support him.
 Every one knows that the break ing of habit which proves injuri- ous or which handicaps the indi- vidual in any way requires an eff fort of will, and often the victim needs the help of others in his fight against the habit; especially the moral support and encouragement other persons may give him.
 Were it not for physics no one would have the constipation habit. Were it not for physics there would be no such = difficulty to contend with. Were it not for physics, an oc- casional delay Of a day or a week in the function would cause no trouble whatever. It is the interfer- ence that does all the harm-that, and the false notion that by re- sorting to salts, laxative drugs, enemas and the like, one can re- adjust or regulate a mechanism

The "teadrop" silhouette .s the newest innovation brought out by Maybelle Manning of the American couture. Because American design demands perfect balance, she is streamlining her evening silhouette to conform to the famous dynamics theory of the teardrop. The vogue for trains further blends the hemline of the gown into the shape of a tear, and even the decolletage goes fearful. A marvellous silhouette for dram- atizing yourself and going gor- geous for the gala nights which Repeal will bringi

PARIS STYLES
BY MARY KNIGHT

Paris - (UP) - Suzanne Far- nier rises to the peak of her crea- tive genius with a hat, necklace (you can call it a collar if you like) and bracelet Cor cuff) made of "filantick" or patined gold. "Patine," says our Web- ster's Collegiate, is "a green film formed on copper and bronze by oxidation, and esteemed in art" What it looks like is gorgeous spun sugar (like we used to get Coney Island and street fairs) coiled around the head, throat and wrist. The lady demonstrating is dressed entirely in black save for these three items and Sisters Is she a stunning sight! We shaded our eyes with trembling hand as the sunlight made her too dazzling a creature.
 You can't go far this winter without your herd or angoras, be you sporting. specializing or just a timid little home body. A combination the smart folks over here are appearing in is Q skirt and three-quarter coat of a nice combination angora and tweed (like regular tweed with a fuzzy surface) and sweater blouse of pink angora wool. This has clear crystal buttons straight down the front and a soft bow tie at the throat just under the chin. The sweater is worn over the skirt and comes to the hips. A narrow belt confines 1t to the normal waistline. The coat has deep square pockets, wide cuffs and simple turn-back collar with one end becoming scarf which wraps the throat or hands down at the side. The hat to ac- company is soft, crush felt with crystal ornament part way up on the crown to the left front. It has two inch brim which rolls slightly on the sides.

 She pushed an ash tray in the shape Of a green fish toward him. Bannitser .>drew a package of cigarets from a pocket, offered them to Mrs Kennebec, but she declined. He extracted one for himself and lighted 1t. He was be- ginning to wonder how this inter- view would turn out.
 You had something to tell mel" he asked.
 "Yes, I have. It's about this murder" The woman leaned forward and the ,jeweled ear rings shook violently.

 It seemed lengthy preamble and Canister was beginning to grow restive. But in another in stant that restiveness was gone. eff you're a detective, young man-or a special investigator or whatever you call it-you'd better find out where Melvina Hollister was last night when she said that she wasn't a. home. You'd better fin dout about the tongue-lashing she gave Tracy King and how she swore she'd have him out of this hotel or know the reason why. You'd better find out about those crazy goings-on at the cemetery-
 The cemetery!' Bannister could not conceal his amazement.
 That's what I said," Mrs Ken nebec went on emphatically. "Per- sonally I think the woman's out of her head. Did you ever hear of a sane person having regular funeral for canary bird?

TRYOUR
 CHILDREN
ey. Olive Roberts Barton Ssss5 57 Elz si5NsS: aE

When children are little. sugges- ton works wonders.
 Suggestion works wonders with everybody. It is the psychological secret of all propaganda, for inc stance. The man on the street Is almost entirely guided by the feeling in the 'air." He will an swer this by his own actions tn- stantly where he would rebel If given a direct command.
 think this illustrates some thing that can be used in the home very nicely.
 Little children under six are very likely to set themselves up instantly against direct commands, no matter how reasonable they are. In fact, they go still further. If we reverse the command and agree with them, quite often they will jump over and face us from the other side of the fence. Billy, go out and get that paper" . q won't" Billy, don't go out. I've changed my mind." Billy marches right out and gets 1t.
 How Suggestion Works This is as common as can be, and it leaves most mothers up a most awkward stump to say the least.
 Suggestion works like this.
 Mrs Smiths pavement is so nice and clean, isn't it?"
 Billy looks at Mrs Smiths nice clear sidewalk. Perhaps he'll see the point himself. No? Then, "Oh, dear, a great big piece of paper has blown off our burn pile. It spells our nice pave ment. I wish our pavement looked as nice as Mrs Smiths" "Wait = I'll get it, Mummy" And out he runs.
 A roundabout way of getting him to do your will? Not at all- a little diplomacy is as honest as the skies and 1t is constructive, too. Because we don't want too many open clashes with Billy, if possible. Neither is it cowardly. Indirect ruling is the answer to a number of things in life and 1t has never been considered illegitimate yet.
 Stregnthens Common Inetrest
 Moreover, suggestion in the home does something else. It makes allies of mother and child. It strengthens common interest and accents i've" instead of you"
 In g. way it can be overdone, I think children get tired of such commands as this: Mary, don't you think that rose vase up in my room look we'll on the dinner table?"
 Mary knows very we'll that her mother means, "Go up and get it" " Mary is nine and in her right mind -she is weary of everlasting sug- gestion and the indirect command.
 "Oh, mother, why don't you say, Go and get it., I'd like it better.,, l Ther must be Judgement about all things.

1 terrupted. Where does the canary bird come into this?' / Tt wasn't the canary bird that came in. It was the cat. That quere looking one they call Rajah. Tracy Kings cat, you know. It came into the Holsters apart ment one day last week. The bird was in the cage and the cat jumped and knocked the cage over. Mel vina heard the noise and ran into the room but when she got there the bird was dead.
 "Well, sir, she threw fit! Had mysteries. Mathew = that's her brother, who lives with her-had to call a doctor and it was hours before they could quiet her. Crazy about that bird, Melvina was. Thought more of it. I declare to goodness. than she does of her brother. As soon as she went up to Tracy Kings apartment and car- ried on something terrible. MT King said he was willing to pay for the bird but that only made her worse. She said the cat had to be chlorcformed. I guess that made MT King mad and they had it out, hot and heavy. Everybody on the third floor could hear them. Finally the manager had to go up and make them stop.
 "After that Melvina had the little casket made and put the bird in it. She bought flowers from the | florist and she and Matthew drove
 out to the cemetery and they had a
 regular funeral for the bird. Mel
 vina told about it afterward. And
 she told me herself that she was
 going to see that Tracy King was
 put out of this hotel. She said he
 kept 8 vicious pet and besides l that he had so many late parties
 and made so much noise she and
 Matthew couldn't get any rest" | But you don't honestly think"
 Canister said in a tone of dis-be-
 lief. "that this Miss Hollister could

 to her than her own brother. Why,
 ever since it died she's been going around with her eyes red, acting
 like she'd lost her last friend" But surely"
 T think she's crazy.' Mrs Ken
 nebec said with pursed lips. And crazy people will do anything.
 Melvina Hollisters crazy as a loon. don't say she did it but do say the police should know about all this. Don't you think so ?"
 Why. yes," said Banister so- berly, "I do."
 He asked a number of questions then, whether Mrs Kennebec had heard the quarrel between Miss Hollister and King, whether she had heard the woman make any deliberate threats.
 Mrs Kenebec, pressed for a definite answer, had not. But the story of the quarrel was all over the hotel,, she insisted. Mrs Ken nebec knew more about it than some of the others because the Hollisters apartment was directly across the hall from hers.
 She described Miss Hollister as a woman whose age must be well | over 50. tall, slim, rather forbid ing-looking. Matthew. she said, was understood to be somewhat younger. They had lived at the Shelby Arms ever since it had been
 built. It was understood that the Holsters had considerable amount of money, all of which was in Melvina's hands. Matthew, Mrs Kenebec said, was a meek-looking man who came and went and scarcely ever spoke to anyone. Mrs Kenncbec would have talked longer but Banister glanced at his watch and said he must leave. He promised that he would report what Mrs Kenebec had told him to Captain McNeil. (TO Be, COntinued)
