Question: When I wash my
hair it feels sticky, and as
though I had a curling lotion on
it. 1t looks dull Ind lifeIeSs
when it gets dry. What do you
think causes this? r.. V.
Answer: Always be sure to
rinse all the soap out Of your
hair when you shampoo it at
home. Never rub a bar Of soap
directly on your hair, but use
good liquid shampoo. Repeated
r..1sing is necessary to get every
speck of soap off the hair and
scalp. I also suggest regular
brushing and light massage of
your scalp with your finger tips
to increase the circulation and
stimulate the scalp.

A.-OccaSionally q child over

puddings, Stewed fruit, raw

ionally ice cream will give
them all the sweets they need.

The securities act was put through
on the recommendation Of President
Roosevelt last Spring, the first of the
new laws designed to clean up sys-
tenn that mulcted Americans of billions
of dollars.
The new law, which has been in
effect since last July, has been attacked
by bankers. underwriters and others
engaged in big business. They are out
to bring about important amendments
to the act. they aim to soften drastical-
ly the liability clauses of the law. And
they insist that unless the changes
they demand are made, recovery will be
greatly retarded; that capital will not
flow into industry as it should.
So vigorous has been the attack that
President Roosevelt himself has called
for investigation and reports as to the
Justice and wisdom of the proposals
to amend the law. And those reports
are IN the process of being formulated.
The Department of Commerce, under
Secretary Roper, has been working on
the matter. The President has also
