GLORIFYINo
 YOURSELF
'By Alicia Hart Y
ODDLY NgH sE9VEE Ns

Though it takes good deal of effort, a little money and quite a lot of time, excessive oiliness of the hair can be cured. The eastiest way, of course, is to put yourself in the hands of scalp expert who will give you semi-weekly treat ments. However, few beauty bud gets allow for more than one visit a week to the hairdresser and un- less your good-grooming allowance is rather large, you'll simply have to glorify yourself.
 First of all, see that you have three items with which to start your getting-rid-of-oil routine. You must have good hair brush. a liquid castillo or tar soap sham poo and a tonic that has been made especially to correct an oily condition.
 You must not wash your hair oftener than once every ten days. As a matter of fact, if you use the tonic every night, you won't need to shampoo as frequently. Tonic should be applied to the scalp with cotton pads. If you don't want to spoil a wave, let it dry before you start brushing.
 Place the brush flat against the scalp with each stroke and, turn ing it outward slightly, pull it up- ward to the ends. Wipe the brush and repeat until every inch of scalp and each hair has been stimulated and cleaned.
 Use hot oil the night before you intend to shampoo. Simply warm a bit of olive oil, rub 1t into your scalp, wrap a clean towel around your head and go to bed, letting the oil stay on all night. Next day, wash your hair two or three times with liquid soap and plenty of warm water, rinse twice and then pour on solution consisting of one-half cupful of vinegar and one quart of warm water. Rinse again with clear water and, if pos- sible dry your hair in the sun- shine.

PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

Paris (UP)-Jenny has glorified the pleat-nor is she does 1t the right way of the material and makes them sun, accordion and fiat.
 Sometimes she does whole back of a skirt in pleats, other times she puts little groups of them around the bottoms of the after noon skirts so that when the legs march back and forth, little fans fiirt around the ankles.
 In ensembles, two-thirds and three-quarter coats prevail over shorter or longer types. Velvet edged or longer types. Velvet edged with fur takes the hottest biscuit while others edged all the way around and up the front with faille are worn over tight slit skirt.
 Alas for front decolletages here. you can take your extremes; either bring the material up to your chin or cut it away in a square shape as far as you think you can do so without creating a panic at dinner or a ball. In any event. there is no rest from beauty treatments for the back. for it must be ex- posed at all times regardless of bosom coverage or exposure. Square cutout backs as far as the last notch in the spine. V-shaped to the same destination or oval and ditto.
 As for colors-all the grays you can think of thunder-cloud to mild bad temper; blues from rainy Monday to the Heavenly hue of Sunny Sabbath; black and white, if you call the mcolors. and lots of spangles in gold and silver.

Sister Mary:S Kitchen
By MARY E. DAGUE NEA Service Staff XNrifer

Did you know you may dine in the manner of any country you like these days right in your own home. Time was when Amer. ican housekeepers looked askance at foreign dishes because they were suspected of being full of strange ingredients that nobody had on her pantry shelf or could get from the corner grocery.
 But those days are gone forever. The tiniest food shop to-day has f1avorings and seasonings from every corner of the globe, and the chefs who used greedily to con- ceal the secrets of their kitchens are pouring them out for the world to benefit by.
 One of my family's favorite stops in our occasional fireside culinary journeys around the world is Italy.
 Use More Olive Oil
 It's my conviction that the aver- age American housewife should use olive oil in cooking much oft ener than she does. Remember that the old Romans who caused us so much difficulty in our high school days fought their wars and wrote their commentaries on foods cooked in olive oil. Chicken cac- ciatora (hunter style) with spa ghetti makes fine foundation for your Roman dinner.
 Tomato and onion used in the chicken produce a highly favored dish which makes it important to serve a full-fiavored vegeta ble such as broccoli, loved by the Italians, with this meal.
 The salad should be definite and crisp, no experimentation of fruits and vegetables swathed in a rich dressing. Any crisp salad green or a cabbage or a celery salad of- fers the contrast needed to pre- pare the appetite for the dessert. Crackers and one of the deli cious foreign cheeses always is the perfect finish to a perfect meal, but if you want a sweet, use bis cult tortoni or any smooth ice cream.
 Chicken Cacciatora (Hunter
 StyIe)
 One 2ls pound chicken, N cup olive oil, l large onion, cups chopped fresh tomatoes or quart canned ones, teaspoon thyme, 2 teaspoons salt.
 Disjoint chicken. Heat oil in frying pan, add chicken and cook over a brisk fire until well brown ed. Add onion peeled and chopIhd and cook until it is brown. Then add the tomatoes. thyme and salt, Cook thirty minutes longer and serve with boiled spaghetti. using the sauce Of the chicken over the Hnnghetti.

Youth Takes O. Old Ideas
Party FrOckS
 Go Empire

TWO silhouettes emerge
 from a raft of glamorous party frocks designed espe- cially for the younger gals. The Empire dress and the robe de style will be prime fa- vorites for dancing youth this winter season.
 The gown at the extreme left of the sketch is a decid- edly Empire inspiration of heavy satin in turquoise blue. The satin side of the fabric is used for the very full shirred bodice and the trail- ing flare set Tn the back of the skirt. By using the dull side for the skirt, a very flat tering garment is achieved.
 Shown in the center is an- other Empire creation. Sil- very grey velvet is used with silver ribbon shoulder straps, tied in a coy manner on the shoulders. The camisole bodice and godet at the center back of the skirt are fluted, a new treatment this season.
 "Tell me, pretty maiden, are there any more at home like you?" and that's what the stag line will whistle if you're wearing the "Floro- dora" inspired robe de style

Beer, Gin, whiskey

Beer, Gin, Whiskey
 Kindly give me the caloric con- tent of a bottle of beer, also a gin and whiskey highball. I use only ginger ale and white soda in. the highball. Also the caloric content of a straight whiskey.
 Answer-Beer yields about 250 calories to the bottle (150 in an eight ounce glass), provided all the alcohol is oxidized. but few persons can oxidize all the alcohol of gin yields 70 calories. One ounce in a bottle of beer. One ounce of whiskey yields 80 calories.
 Conjunctiva Absorbs.
 For eye inflammation Oculist gave me some ointment and in- structed me to apply a little to the outer corner of each eye, on the skin. This relieved the inflamma. tiOn,- and in a few hours the Oint- ment had disappeared. How do you account fO rthat, if nothing Is absorbed thru the skin? GA. s. J.)
 Answer-Hardiy possible to apply ointment to the outer corner with out getting a bit in the eye. The mucous membrance lining the eye- lids and covering the eyeball, call- ed the conductive. absorbs.

SYNOPSIS

When DAN BLEEKER, pulp
 1i1hef Of The Blade, learns that
 CHARLES MORDEN, police re-
 porter has been mysteriousiy
 &l7Fed he determines to employ
 SIDNEY GRIEF, famous crim-
 fho1Ogist, to solve the murder.
 MOriien had been assigned to
 learn ali he could about FRANK
 R. CATHAY, wealthy and prom-
 intnf. who had threatened to sue
 The Blade because the newspa-
 per reported Cathay had been
 arrested. Later 1t was proven
 thaf the man arrested, giving
 th6 name of Cathay and accom-
 panied by q girl called MARY
 BRIGGS, was an impostor. The
 Blade published a retraction.
 Then Morden is found dead
 ana . few hours later comes
 news that Cnthay Is dead-pOs-
 afb1y poisoned.
 sidney Grin undertakes the
 case. He goes to see CHARLES
 FISHER, Cathay's lawyer, ana
 then to Cathay's home. There
 he sees CARL RACINE, private
 iietectaive, leaving in Cathay's car, The chauffeur says hostileiy to Grin, "You can't see Mrs Ca- thay."
 CHAPTER XIV
 .sHe's in a hurry" he said. Hes under instructions to get me to a certain place. I've got to start. Goodby, Griff."
 Racine crossed the porch with 1onr strides. The chauffeur stood at rigid attention, his face a mask AZ the detective entered the car, the chauffeur slammed the door, turned to face Sidney Griff.
 ssYou can't see Mrs Cathay," he said, jerking open, the front door of the car. He did not wait for a reply, nor did he turn back for any Instructions from the detective.
 The chauffeur wormed back be- hind the wheel of the big car. The gear shift level snapped home and the automobile, with Racine, the detective inside slid smoothly down the driveway. progressing as effortlessly as Q trout gliding through the dark depths of forest pool.
 Sidney Griff watched the car un- til It had turned the corner of the block. Then he stepped to the d0ofbell and a moment later was his card to a solemn-faced butler who assured him that Mrs Cathay was receiving no one.
 You will tell her." said Sidney
 Griff, "that have no wish to in- trude upon her grief. It is, how ever, important that I see her. You will explain to her that I am a criminologist and that if she can grant me an audience now it may save her much inconvenience later"
 The butler took his card, showed him into a reception hallway. As Griff waited he looked about him, noting the Chinese rug on the floor the dark wood table and chairs of solid, Tudor design, the maroon silk 1raperies reaching to the floor, Through the doorway he could see the living room and caught a glimpse of a fireplace with mir TOT above the mantle. The furnish ings looked expensive. Everything about the house looked expensive and characterless the typical homo turned out by a fashionable interior decorator who knew how to please wealthy clients.
 It was only few moments be- fora the butler was back with the Information that Mrs Cathay would see MT Griff
 The interior of the house was huslted and there was about it the aura of death. A musty smell struggled with the cloying odor of Towers that were dying, and, in turn were used to ornament death. Grin saw a maid in the next room, noted that the servants walked

about on tiptoe, with strained, set faces.
 Griff followed the butler. In the midst of the atmosphere of hush ed restriction the healthy thud- ding of the criminologist's foot falls were as the influx of an out side life, pushing aside decaying tissues, dissipating dead atmos- pheres with the tang of salty sea breeze.
 The butler led the way to smaller room back of the living room. Mrs Cathay was there, stretched in reclining chair. A robe was drawn about her. Her face was white and the eyes were dark-rimmed. Her hands seemed like white wax and there was something piteously pathetic in the woman's eyes as she stared at the criminologist. They were eyes that held curiosity, grief, tragedy and more than all-the dark lustre of fear.

JUST ANOTHER NOTION ABOUT
 SOME OLD WHEEZES

Whenever I turn over an idea or suggestion with the thought of handing it out I ask myself two questions, to wit, first, is it likely to do anybody any good? second, will it do any harm? Or should say I take the matter to Father Hippokrates and get his advice about it.
 Today's crazy notion, then, sim- pie folk, is just this: From con- siderable browsing in current med ical literature and indefatigable picking of medical colleagues, I have conceived the idea that a daily ration of rather more than the essential amount of vitamin A is advisable for any one who suf- fers from bronchial asthma, em- physema, bronchiectasis or chronic bronchitis. Remember, this is just my surmise, and nothing more. Take it or leave 1t. All know is that you can't get enough vitamin A to do any harm.
 Not only cod liver oil but other fish liver oils and liver itself, whether from fish. fowl, OK. calf. pig. is a good source of vitamin A. Butter. milk, cream, cheese, and eggs, especially egg yolks. are excellent sources of this vitamin. Kidney is a good source of vitamin A. Carrots, raw or cooked, escarole, spinach raw or cooked, peas, tomato, prunes, cantaloupe. orange, banana, squash, pumpkin, salmon, herring, halibut, beef fat, raw cabbage. lettuce. romaine, kale, green peppers, sweet potato, yellow corn, turnip, watercress. pineapple; dandelion greens. beet greens, wheat, wheat bran, string beans, Brussels, sprouts. celery leaves, are all good sources of vita min A.
 From way back it has been rec ognized that cod liver oil is often helpful in the treatment of the various wheezes mentioned, but we didn't know why it was helpful. According to my notion it is be- cause cod liver oil is so rich in vitamin A.
 Nutrition investigators now be- lieve that the yellow coloring mat ter in carrotB faffd in butter and milk and many other items above mentioned is the precursor or fore | dAAACL VI tltdliih <1s I HE yCAlOW coloring matter is called carotene. Tn plants it is green coloring mat ter. If the food material is natur- ally yellow or green, it is quite likely a carrier of vitamin A.
 The results of deficiency of vita min A are difficult to diagnose. that is, where there is only a par tial shortage of this vitamin in the patients diet. A large deficiency or complete lack of vitamin A is now known to be the cause of xerophthalmia, peculiar dryness of the eyes, lack of tears. and con- sequent alteration of the cornea. Night blindness is another condi- tion due to insufficient yitamin A -the patient finds it difficult to see we'll in the dark or on a dull day or after dusk. Children who do not receive enough vitamin A fail to develop immunity against the cri. There is some ground for the belief that adenoids and enlarged tonsils in children may be due to insufficient vitamin A.
 Cooking and canning do not de- stroy vitamin A. vitamin A is stored in the body for longer per- iods than other vitamins- can be stored. It is stored in the liver. Predatory animals instinctively eat the liver of Drev first

Selection of Seed Corn
Demands Close Attention

The cheapest and surest way to in
crease corn yield is by the use of bet
ter seed, and the best way to procure
better seed, other than buying it from
a seed specialist, is to select ones own
seed corn from ones best field.
Ears should be selected from stalks
that are of average height, or bear
ears at height convenient for shuck-
ing. The ears that hang downward
are most desirable since these more
readily shed water and are not so cas-
lily damaged by bad weather. Ears
and stalks that have been damaged
by insects and disease should not be
selected; disease-free seed may be re-
sistant. The main thing to bear in
mind is the selection of ears from the
best producing plants grown under av-
erage conditions. The ears should be
we'll filled out with grain of uniform
size. If ample time is taken for the
purpose and the selection of seed made
with due care with the seed properly
dried and kept until planting time, bet
ter returns from succeeding corn crops
may be expected by the farmer. Be-
cause of the drouth very few farmers
will raise good seed corn this year and
therefore if they have some good old
corn left over they should take good
care of it.-Missouri Farmer.
