In Memoriam

In Sad loving remembrance Of my
dear husband Marion o. Burrows,
who departed his life one year ago
June IL, 1884.
The month of June once more is here
To me the saddest of the year,
Because one year ago today,
My dear loving husband passed away.
I often sit and think of you,
When I am alone,
For memory is only friend
My grief can call its own.
Dearest husband how l have missed
you
In the year just gone by,
Since you left me sad and lonely,
For your home up in the sky.
Though you are gone but not for
gotten,
And your place can never be filled
l will keep your memory sacred
Until my heart in death is still.
BY his lonely wife,
Mrs. Gertie Burrows.

Chevrolet Production
To Continue At Peak
During Summer Months

Production of Chevrolet passenger
cars and trucks will continue at peak
schedules throughout June, and prob
ably considerably longer, W. E. Hol-
Ter, vice president and general sales
manager of the Chevrolet Motor
Company, announced this week.
June output projections, Mr.. Hollel
said, are higher than in June of last
year, and full capacity of the manu-.
featuring units and the company's II
assembly plants will be required tc
carry out the program. This assure.
wide spread of employment at q
period when production normally be.
gins to taper off. He added that it is
the company's hope to maintain sales
at such level as to repeat the un-
precedented achievement of last year
when Chevrolet sales in the second
six months eclipsed those in the
first.
"More than dozen executives from
Detroit are now out in the territory,
retail personnel in all parts of the
country. They are in constant touch
with US, and the reports they have
relayed in all point to continuation of
business at or near its present peak.
'In the final analysis, the improve
ment can be traced clear back to the
farm, which of course is fundamental
in any picture of national prosperity,
Farm income in most sections of the
United States has shown substantial
gain over 1888 and 1884. The outlook
for business from farmers would be
good even without the addition of the
government benefit moneys which
have been pouring into rural Sec

Beauty
Treatment for
Failing Hair
BY DONNA GRACE

We are receiving many re-
quests for a cure for badness or
thinning hair, so it seems If
there is any one time more than
another when one is expected
to lose or shed a great deal Of
hair, this would be the time.
There is really a constant
shedding of the hair even on a
healthy scalp, but a few hairs
lost each time the hair is
Combed is no cause for alarm.
New hair is coming in always,
and taking the place Of the one
that drops out.
This continues as long as the
root of the hair is vital. 1t Is
only the noticeable thinning Of
the hair all over the head that
proves there is some abnormal
condition we have to combat.
The natural thinning Of hair
that so frequently accompanies
middle age is not looked upon as
an abnormal condition but
rather a natural decline Of
vitality. In SO many persons
the lack of vigor is confined to
the scalp and hair roots while
the whole body may be in the
very best of health and strength.
AS a matter of fact, no one
really knows why some persons
become bald and others of ap-
parently the same type and
physical condition do not.
The scalp must be lnvigorated
with a constant supply of new
blood to the hair roots. This is
done by massage and careful
brushing as well as with tonic
and nourishing applications.
Nearly all falling hair or weak
and thin hair conditions need
fabrication
Fresh air and a moderate
amount of sunlight is always a
natural stimulant for the hair,
but it is a mistake to submit the
hair and scalp to the intense
heat of the sun for hours and
even days as some persons do.
We need the protection Of hats
and shade-just as we protect
our skin against sunburn.
When you have the depressing
condition of falling hair please
do not neglect it until 1t is too
late to restore the hair to nor.
NAL health. You must begin at
once to keep what is left and to
revive the weak hair.

Etiquette
Finger Bowl
Use
By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMA

BY MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMA
"Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"What is the proper pro-
cedure when q finger bowl is
set in front of one? III"
II the finger bowl is on the
dessert plate, you remove the
finger bowl from the plate and
place 1t above and to the left
of your plate. If there is a
dolly under the finger bowl, as
there often is, remove the
finger bowl and the dolly to-
gether.
Only the finger tips are
dipped into the finger bowl.
Dip into the bowl the finger
tips of one hand at a time,
and then dry your fingers on
the napkin.
Although you may, if you
wish, dip the fingers into the
water and apply them lightly to
the lips, the better plan is to
eat SO daintily and carefully
that this is not necessary.
INTRODUCING DOCTOR
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
How should q doctor be in
trOduced to other people? He
happens to be my doctor and is
also my cousin.
"A dinner dance will be held
for him very soon. Is 1t proper
for me to call him Doctor" or
should / call him by his first
name? "READER."
When you are introducing
this doctor to a woman, you say,
Mrs. Allen, may I present
Doctor Bryan" or Miss Jones.
may I introduce Doctor Bryan"
or, more informally, Mrs. At
water Doctor Bryan" When
you are introducing him to an
other man you mention only
the names. Doctor Bryan
Mr.. Forbes"
Since this doctor is your
cousin, you would call him by
his first name. And do make
it a habit never to cali him or
to refer to him as Doctor. AL
ways use his last name when
you use his title, Doctor Bryan.

HE DOESN'T WRITE
Dear Miss Fairfax:

e'@@NS
"When we are together he
promises to write twice q week,
but we live in different cities,
and when he's away I never
hear from him. His only ex-
cuSe is that he dislikeS writing
letters.
"My parents keep telling me
to forget him, that he doesn't
care for me. / know It would
be hard to forget him as it's
real love this time-not an in.
fatuatiOn. His silence makes
me restless and unhappy.
'PUZZLED AND LONELY"
I am inclined to agree with
your parents, that the better
plan would be to try and forget
him. At the same time am re-
minded of a case which came
to my attention recently. The
man didn't write, though he
was engaged to the girl, and
they had the date set for the
wedding. Sometimes he called
her on the long distance phone,
but always avoided writing.
The explanation was that he
didn't know how to write Eng
lish, and was ashamed to let his
girl know. He could write his
native language but as he had
left his country in the Near
East, when he was a youth Of
IS, he never learned to write
English, though he spoke the
language fairly well,
