The Name Chameleon"
"As changeable as q chameleon"
quotes q reader. And then, Does
this name mean 'changeable'-what
Is It's origin2"
Literally the name Of this animal
Is "lion on the ground" or ground
nonl" we have 1t from the Latin
"chamaeleon," the first two syllables
being from the Greek meaning ION
the ground" with '1eon," lion.
The name originated in the fact
that the chameleon Is Of the lizard
family-"on the ground" This reptiles
color changes with the color Of the
objects about it, or, we are told, with
a change Of temper when disturbed.

spades. My partner now knows tnat l
have no second suit which can bid,
asking for his preference. My hand
is, therefore, of no-trump type. Though
he may have nothing In his band, yet
/ am now asking him to decide the
declaration. II he bids three no trlmps
I will pass. If he bids four spades l
know that he has at least three small
spades and prefers the suit deciara-
ton for distributional reasons. II ne
should have an ace in his hand ne
should now bid that ace by bidding
four of that suit. I can still sign on
at four spades or four no trumps II
need be, but that ace may be the key
to slam. I will know he Is bidding
an ace, though no fit in trump suit
has been found, because II he were
bidding a biddable suit he would have
done so on the first round. Nor
will read him for anything more
than ace, as If he had an ace and a
king. ne should have bid three no
trumpS, not two, the first time. For
these reasons, il his second bid is
three no trumpS, give up and let
him play the hand at that declara-
ton. He has been able to make the
final decision correctly, though he may
not have a face card. Only under
match-point scoring would ! insist
on playing in spades for the honors.
Another Contingency.
II, St;. = K < a a'H 81. q. Az *
I bid two spades; the response is
three clubs Now I bid three no
trumpS. This means that I am pre-
pared to play the hand at that declar-
alton because my partner has bid
clubs. He can still bid four spades
If he has three small ones and his
hand is of uneven distribution; but
he need not do so from fear. have
told him that his clubs are of service
to me for no-trump play, though I
do not fit that suit well enough to
raise him in clubs. have at least
two clubs in my hand, otherwise I
would never bid no trumps, but go
on with spades, having no second suit
to suggest. Knowing that clubs are
not a total misfit, responder could
next bid four clubs II his clubs were
six In number, headed by the king, or
I'VE as good as K @ Xxx. In that
case he can visualize a slam IN clubs
or no trumps provided I have three
aces, as seem almost sure If I have
only two aces l will sign of at flve
clubs: with three aces I can myself
bid six clubs over four. All these
possibilities are revealed to my part
ner because I bid three no trumps in
stead of three spades (or a second
suit as my first rebid after learning
that he had a biddable five-card club
suit.

Milady Beautiful
By LOIS LEEDS.
0ily Hair.

EAR MISS LEEDS-My hair
is light brown and naturally
curly. 1t remains soft and
~ nice until 10 days after my
shampoo, then it gets oily
and darker. The trouble starts at the
roots and gradually works out. I
wash my hair every 10 or IL days.
Please tell me the cause and cure OF
this condition. N. v.
Answer-Overactivity OF the Seba-
ceous glands is often characteristic Of
adolescence, SO If you are young girl
you probably will outgrow this trou-
bleSome condition. Nervousness and
a depressed state Of general health
may also cause excessive oilinesS.
However, 1t seems to me that II your
hair stays soft and light for 10 days
1t is not unusually oily. The darken-
ing Is, of course, due to the oil. There
is no harm in shampooing as often as
you do, but If you wish to wash your
hair less frequently you might use a
dry shampoo between wet ones. There
are liquid dry" shampooS that you
may buy, or you may make dry
shampoo by mixing two parts pow
dered orris root, one part powdered
camphor and one part fine bran. sift
this mixture well through your hair,
leave it in for about five minutes, then
brush it all out carefully with a clean
brush. Divide the hair in strands and
polish each with a piece of old silk.
An astringent scalp tonic also may be
helpful in checking the oiliness. The
following may be used after washing
your hair and twice week in addi-
ton: One tablespoonful Of lemon
juice, two ounces rosemary water, one
ounce witch hazel, one ounce alcohol,
one ounce cologne water

States which provide capital punish
ment for the crime Of murder usually have
q law under which a jury convicting a man
OF first degree murder can add to its YER
dict a recommendation for mercy. Such a
recommendation prevents the death penal
ty, making life Imprisonment mandatory.
A provision of that kind is essential.
But the things juries do with II are some
times very hard to understand.
A jury in Toledo, o., recently tried a big
shot gangster. He was accused Of having
directed the killing of four other gangsters,
IN typical gangland style. The jury found
him guilty-but recommended mercy.
Offhand, one would think a gangster
the last person to deserve such q recommen-
dation. He was either guilty of the muir
der or not guilty. If not guilty, he deserv-
ed acquittal; If guilty, it is hard to think
of any reason why the jury should 60 out

THERE'S NEED NOW FOR PARTY OF
CONSTRUCTIVE OPPOSITION

A political party Is the instrument
through which citizens impose their will
on their government. AS a matter of prac-
teal politics, it has to operate through a
horde {. small officeholders and a small
group of leaders, with a few financial sup
porters in the background.
Once in a while it happens that this
party machinery will travel in one direc-
ton while the great mass of the people
are travelling the other way. When that
happens, the party car do one Of just two
thingsy it can change its direction, or it
can pass out Of existence.
1t almost looks as if the Republican
party today were facing such q situation.
To be sure, there have been landslide
elections in this country before. From
1920 through 1928, the Democrats suffer-
ed a series of crushing reverses-to revive
and return in triumph in 1882. But what
has happened to the Grand Old Party is
something else again.
The people have been through four very
hard years. These years not only brought
much suffering and hardship to many peo-
pie: they made a great many people pro-
foundly dissatisfied with the past and
highly distrustful of the future.
The effects, by now, are obvious. The
people are no longer content to be wooed
in the old phrases, nor do they fear pro-
pcsals which are new and untried. They
rant somebody, somehow to do something
that will make a repetition Of the recent
disaster impossible.
There we have the explanation of the
current landslide. Most Of the Republican
leaders let themselves appear in the posi-
ton Of those who offer nothing but crit
icism. No policy was offered--except, by
implication, the policy Of returning to the
old ways. Since the overwhelming mass
of the people were going in the other di-
r~ection, we got a landslide.
Now when a nation gets into a mood
like ours. it may go on and do something
great ard fine-or It may run right into a
deep ditch. tt is precisely for that reason
that a revival of the Republican party is
so greatly needed.
There is a place for an intelligent and
aggressive conservative party-a party to
speak for those who feel that we may go
too fast in our journey toward a new So
cial order and who do not feel that the de-
preston has made all of our old institu-
tons worthless. The Republican party

At this period the five-year-old is likely to leave the

The very simple lessons Of hygiene that every five
year-old child should know include such matters Is
putting on warm clothing before going out to play and
taking off wet clothing. The child should know enough
not to drink or eat after other people. and it should
learn also the dangers Of putting pencils. fingers and
play things in its mouth.
The child OF five years Of age has TO learn how to
get along with other people. It must understand the
necessity Of giving up what belongs to others.
II should understand the right Of the teacher 70

thority Of policemen and other responsible officials.
Children Of five years want 70 tel about their new
experiences. They should be given every opportunity
TO describe what they see and hear even though these
things may not seem 10 be OF Importance to the
parents. BY this means the child learns proper use
OF language and expression.
Children OF this age frequently make believe and
tell stories that seem rather tall, but with proper
training this is the age when they can be taught the
distinction between truth and falsehood.
The food needs OF the child at five need careful at
tention. Breakfast IL OF the utmost importance. be-
cause It determines the extent to which the child may
become fatigued during the day.
The sleep program Of the child must also be ar
