More Talk
On Scalp
Troubles
Cause and Cure
Treatment for
Mild Cases.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

lust what is this thing called
dandruff? Some say, with a light
shrug of the shoulders, Just case
of dandruff." Others shake their
heads mournfully and whisper about it.
When dandruff is apparent, it is not
to be treated too lightly. Dandruff is
natural throwing off of dead top
scales of. the epidermis which have
dried and lost their usefulnee. This
natural shedding of scarf skin goes
on over the entire body and is not
limited to scalp alone. knowing this,
many people say well, dandruff is
natural-We all have it," 1t is natural,
except when excessive, when it irri-
tates the scalp, when it causes over
secretion of natural oil which chokes
the hair follicle.
Dandruff is often the forerunner
of excessive falling of the hair. Let
us see why When the hair follicle
is choked and the hair is thus
deprived of air and nourishment it
wastes and falls out because it is
unable to live.
Dame nature, you know, has
way of fortifying animate things
against certain amount of abuse
and neglect. The fallen is replaced
by a new crop. But if the condition
is not remedied this also wastes and
falls. Finally, the abused area gives
up the battle and badness ensues.
What happens then? The scalp no
longer needs the oil glands. So they
dry up Then the scalp becomes dry,
thinned and incapable Of ever again
growing hair.
A mild case of dandruff, that Is
if the hair is brushed or shaken and
it gives off fine, dry powdery scales.
is easily treated. Persistent brushing
to stimulate the circulation through
the scalp, massage. hot oil treatments
and shampooing with good soap solu-
ton should help. The shampoo may
be followed by specially prepared
dandruff wash, ointment or tonic.
Excessive dandruff, particularly the
oily, sticky type that clings to the
scalp or seems encrusted, needs the
attention of a scalp specialist. We
may smile at the thought Of going
to a doctor about dandruff, but a
scalp troubled with excessive dandruff
is diseased. Furthermore, such dand-
ruff should be regarded as potential
badness. While women are not pre-
disposed to badness as are men.
nevertheless the thought of falling is
not encouraging. and dandruff fakes
on dresses doesn't add to ones
grooming.

having affairs with every member of
the opposite sex they speak to, but
they are sure as soon as they are
married that they will never feel that
way again, they will have perfect trust
In their wives and husbands.
OF COURSE, nothing Of the kind
happens. There is no hocus-
pocuS in the words that a preacher
says over couple that alters them
one iota. If they were uncongenial
before marriage. they will be still more
uncongenial after marriage because
their tastes and habits are brought
into daily and hourly conflict.
If they scrap before marriage, life
will be perpetual battle to them after
marriage. and If they were Jealous
before marriage they will be still more
insanely jealous after marriage, be-
cause the mans sense of possession
of his wife and the woman's fear of
losing her husband will keep their
suspicious always alive and working
overtime. And If either the boy or
the girl Is set on having his or her
way before marriage, he Or she will
be a grinding tyrant after marriage.
During the engagement each of the
high contracting parties gives the
other plenty of tips on the kind of a
husband or wife he or she will make.
And If they are wise they take 'em.

Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. SPROWLs.
Breathing Rates.

A NORMAL person. under normal
= conditions, has breathing rate
Of to 4. That is to say, it takes
four times as long to inhale breath
as it does to exhale it. This is
very important fact. Important be-
cause 1t may be used to determine
ones state of mind at given moment.
Suppose the breathing ratio should
change from the normal rate Of /
to to say l to 2. What of it?
The assumption Is that something
in your external world has stirred
up your emotions and caused the
change in the breathing ratio. Some
times the inhaling -exhaling ratio may
change to l to /. This Is taken
to mean a profound stirring of the
emotions.
Some psychologists believe that
lie detector might be devised by
using the breathing ratio. The
machinery to detect the ratio Is
fairly simple. 1t has been found that
just after a person tells a lie the
breathing ratio increases. Say from
to 4, to / to 5, or ! to 6. One
might say that a person telling lie
Is attempting to hold back some
thing. And that holding back is re-
corded in the shorter exhalations as
compared with the inhalations. And
when one tells the truth. the opposite
ratio goes into action. It is as If one
should say, II have nothing to con-
ceal."
Then there are other psychologists
who say that while the breathing
ratio Is important it Is not final. It
Is associated with other bodily changes.
One cannot rely upon it alone.

husband must be the guiding light Of
her life.
She finds out the things that in
terest her husband and caters to
them. You will find that when mar
riage is at all successful and lasts
It is because the husband and wife
like to do the same things. Their
interests are mutual.
I believe that one career In the
family is enough. It isn't fair to
the man and to the children If the
wife continues working unless, Of
course, her economic assistance Is
essential, or unless she has already
established herself in great career.
Otherwise she will contribute more
by making her home her career.
When a man is tired from days
work, his nerves frayed and he Is
worried, he wants to come home to
q wife who Is gay and good humored.
He wants to spend happy hours with
her. free from care and trouble. He
wants to relax and play.
That is why gayety and good humor
are the greatest treasures a wife can
possess. They make for happy home
and q contented husband.
also think husband and wife should
not neglect romance in their relations
with each other. The wife in par
ticular should make. as great an effort
to keep attractive as she did before
she was married. She shouldn't let
down just because she has landed
her husband.
The distrustful, jealous wife who
rnonopolizes even the innermost
thoughts of her husband will quickly
destroy his love. Avoid these things
Il you would hold your man!

Paris Fashions.

PARIS CP.-Sheer dinner jackets
for ladies startled the wise in Paris
fashions who gathered for the new
exhibitions.
Tulle, organdie, lace and various
other thin fabrics were fashioned into
mannish coats and narrow, long skirts
having the severity of trousers.
Patou chose tulle for his suit, Lucille
Paray black cire lace and a score OF
houses used organdie, with black first
choice and navy blue second.
The blouses for these mannish suits
accented the feminine. Pleated chif-
fon played a large part in their de-
signing. Frilled organdie and SPAN
gled crepe took turns in making
blouses simple and formal, as occasion

If you have full-length coat.
In the pastel colors these all-around
sport coats are delightful and will be
wonderful for vacation wear later.
They are light in weight, yet warm,
and the big fluffy collars are very
fiattering. On account of the fur col
lars you will find them higher priced
than some other coats. An unusual
one of this type is of plum m-colored
wool, or perhaps you would call 1t q
soft crushed raspberry color, with a
beautiful platinum fox collar. 1t is a
full swagger with the fronts buttoned
back under the collar to give tuxedo
effect, inside pockets and sleeves
larger through the elbows. This would
be stunning with a gray felt hat and
gray crepe frock.
Navy blue Is always favorite in
the dressy type of Spring coat. 1t has

hood at the back edged with platinum
fox. A gray dreSsy swagger has a
narrow Chinese collar and wide cape
effect edged with blue wolf. which
admits of being worn close around the
back of the neck, or off the shoulders.
Spring greens are good in coats as
well as salads and are refreshing
after the dark clothes Of the Winter
season. Both apple green and Kelly
green are shown and combine well
with most colors. They are welcome

little more serviceable than the lighter

Of fact, there is lot of truth in that

THE Bureau of Home Economics Of
the United States Department of

poor housewives, and has issued a
resume on the subject Of food values

and should put us out of our do
mestic miseries Here it is:
There are good many elements

Of foods. their quality, the quantity
provided, the cooking. the serving
all these, not to mention the individ-
uals appetite at the moment, enter

Of foods is fundamental. A good
square meal" Is entitled to the name
only If 1t is a Well-balanced meal, and
whether it Is that or not depends upon
the variety of foods it offers. Va
riety here, however, does not mean
just any assortment of different foods.
1t means a selection which follows
certain pattern based on the chemical
content of the foods and their value

THE pattern is not narrow or limit

Within its outlines there is room for

- marriage is any indication of
the way they would get along after
marriage?
AN ENGAGED COUPLE.
Answer-Of course it Is. 1t is just
the preview of what their marriage
will be like. 1t is prophecy or a
warning; only few of them are wise
enough to understand it. If a girl
and boy are congenial. If they have
the same tastes and like to do the
same things before marriage, they can
count on being good pals after mar
riage. If they are amiable and good
natured and unselfish, and II they
get along harmoniously before mar
riage, they will live peaceably together
until their golden wedding day.
But If one wants to do one thing
and the other wants to do another;
If one wants to step out and the
other wants to stay at home; II one
likes the movies and the other hates
them, and particularly if they fight
and squabble and fall out and make
up, and are filled with jealousy Of
each other before marriage, they Will
live a cat-and-dog life as husband
and wife The chances are they will
end their ill-assorted union by divorce.

EOR, you see, by the time people
are old enough to get married
their characters are fixed. Their tastes
and their habits have hardened into
q permanent pattern and they not
only cannot alter them, they do not
want to change them. And their dis
positions are set. They are irritable
or amiable. Grouchy or good-natured.
Bossy or adaptable, as nature mace
them. And no husband or wife can
make them over according to his or
her desires.
A lot of foolish boys and girls
believe that marriage works some sort
of miracle on people that changes
them from what they are into what
they want them to be. They know
that they are in q perpetual row with
each other before marriage, but they
think that as soon as the wedding
ceremony is performed they will do
nothing but bill and coo and never
give each other an angry peck.
