The stock market maintained a
generally firm tone to the finish
today, although trading was the
lightest for a Saturday in some
time.
Gains ran l to 2 points in active
leaders. with the recovery move
ment being paced by coppers, alco-

Buoyancy in coppers came in the
face of the Kennecott announce
ment it would not raise red metal

would abide with the company's
policy. Kennecott equaled its peak
with a gain of a point. Phelps
Dodge spurted nearly 2 points and
Anaconda about half as much.
Philip Morris was exceptionally
weak on the news of the death of
its president, the stock slumping

WHEAT CROP
SUFFICIENT

The Department of Agriculture
in it's midsummer wheat outlook
report, said that total supplies of
wheat in the United States for the
1857 season are large enough
for the usual domestic require
mentS.
However, with short supplies of
two types, red spring and durum.
the department said that imports
of these types of wheat will con-
tinue. The report said:
Imports of milling wheat
may be less than last year.
ut is probable that spring
wheat mills in the 1867 sea.
son will use larger percentage
Of hard red winter and Pacific
Northwest wheat than last
year. A larger than usual
quantity of soft red winter wheat
is also likely to be used in bread
flour. AS a result, imports of
milling wheat may be less than
last year."

IN QUE
MARKET
BY EWDARD KRICKER

NEW YORK, Aug. IS G.N.SO.
Curb stocks were mixed in an ex-
tremely quiet market today, with
prices varying little from previous
closing levels. No marked trend
was in evidence in any section of
the list. Technicolor was a fea-
ture of the specialties with gain
of almost a point, which carried
the issue to a new high for the
current movement. Pepperell Man

the year on a point advance and
Copper BeSsemer gained slightly.

points to $50.

HANDBAGS for people who
IA need good ones! People who
travel, who shop constantly, who
want to buy good bag, and want
it roomy and durable. Here's
a group Of bags that are especially
made for such people-not too eX-
pensive either. They are ideal
for travelling, for people who carry
a good deal of money around be-
cause they are specially designed
for money. In some there is an
attached purse, which can't get
loose and be lost, and on the side of
it is a flat bill holder, with a
Gnap cover, so that when you pull
it out the bills can't flutter away.
There are ample Upper compart-
ments for passports, papers or what
ever you might want to carry. Yet
with it all, the bags maintain their
trim lines and good looks. We've
sketched a couple of them, showing
the purse and bill holder pulled up
for use. They're leather lined, too,
which makes for extra long wear.
They're priced from S. to SIS.

Boots Are Coming

" OMEN will be wearing
w boots before the winter
is over, says Harper's Bazaar.
In Paris shoes were up to the
ankle by July and fall and
winter models are going even
higher. For the first tweeds
and sports clothes these ankle
boots come in browns, greens
and dark vintage shades as
well as in black suede.
Colored shoes and acceSsor-
les with dark or neutral cos
tunes are a current vogue. For
instance, Harper's Bazaar ad-
vises with a black suit, dark
red shoes, a dark red coral and
turquoise choker, dark red
belt, a black bag and black
gloves. A more conservative
choice with black might be
black suede shoes, bright blue
scarf, black suede bag, black
hat, nutria gloves and nutria
colored stockings.
To wear with the new
princess dresses so suavely fit
ted from the waist to the hip
line, slim elegant shoes are the
rule. Possibly high in front
and low on the side. Also the
Hattering slim opera pump.
In the evening, you will
wrap your feet in strips to go
dancing. Especially in strips
of colored kid, suede, velvet,
antelope or satin, all cut to
make your feet look as if they
were bandaged in the Chinese
manner or at least tied up in
elaborate knots.

amateur. It really should not be
attempted alone, unless one under
stands hair coloring, as it requires
more skill than merely dyelng the
hair.
The procedure is to make the
bleached ends the same shade as
the natural color. BY that we mean
your own original color as it grows
out from the roots; then as the
hair grows out it will be all one
shade, and the dyed ends may be
clipped off. The mistake of the
young amateur is to match the
hair dye and the natural color at
the roots.
There is very little natural oil
in hair that has been bleached,
and it will be sure to absorb the
dye very readily, and before it
can be applied and removed from
the hair the bleached hair will be
a darker shade than the hair at
the roots.
COMPLICATIONS
This can be avoided by selecting
a dye that is one or even two
shades lighter than the hair at
the roots; then dilute the dye to
half strength.
Do not begin at the roots for
this kind of work, but out past
the new growth, and stroke the
hair down with the dye brush. Do
not stroke to the ends of the hair,
however, as the hair is more
spongy and dry at the ends, and
will need a weaker solution of the
dye or they will be darker than
the rest.
Make the dye for the ends half
strength again, and if it is not
quite as dark as the other part,
simply use a second or third ap-
plication of the diluted dye.
Be careful of the first dye ap-
plicationS always. You can always
make it a darker tone, but you
will find it impossible to make it
a lighter shade after it is dark.
II you have a copy OF my
method of dyeing hair, you will
see that an application of peroxide
is the first step before the dye
liquid is put on. This is not done
when tinting bleached hair, as the
bleached condition it is in is an
state, and a further application Of
the softener (peroxide) would be
a mistake.
If you are going to do it by your
self at home, try to have someone
to help in the operation.

It is a fact that some of the
screen beauties have stopped using
bleach on their hair, and are
now wearing their own natural
shade. Even the original qlati-
mum blonde star, Jean Harlow, is
showing a preference for the dark
shades, and only yesterday the
blonde Astrid Allwyn dropped in
to show me her lovely natural
shade of auburn, or what Is more
of a warm chestnut with a slight
tinge of auburn.
The change in many cases IS
due to the parts they are doing
on the screen. The portrayal OF
every character must be anthem
tic, and there can be no subSti-
tuition, so when blonde actress is
selected for a brunette girls role
it just means she must have
brunette hair.
The screen beauties have such
nice, well-cared-for skin, they find
the dark hair a striking and flat
tering contrast, and besides that,
it is something new and differ
ent, and that is always interesting.
There is another and vital -ea-
son for this change, and that, we
would say, is for the recondition-
ing of the hair. 1t is possible to
bleach the hair for number of
years without any apparent in
jury to it, but all bleacheS are
drying, and after the ends have
been subjected to this drying proc
ess for a number Of years they
are somewhat brittle and become
harsh and broken.
HAIR TIMING
The modern method of applying
oil to the hair as well as to the
roots has alleviated this trouble
a great deal, but when it is pos
sible, we advocate a rest and re-
conditioning period for hair that
has been either bleached or dyed.
We know a number of girls who
would like to change back to their
natural shade, but they have a
fear of the ordeal of the slow
method of waiting until the
natural shade is long enough to
look well.
The simple way is, as you know,
to cut off as much from the ends
as you can spare (this is usually
about a Pinch length), then treat
the short hair with special oils and
stimulating scalp massage. This
will always be the preferred way,
but is impractical for the average
girl, as she would feel embarrassed
because of the variegated shades,
Seclusion during the period would
be out of the question, too, so we
have a quick and satisfactory
method that I will give you.
This is one phase of hair color,
| ing that is a little difficult for the

E. still continuing my teaching.

nOuncementS to all friends and
relatives of my huSbandtO-be as
well as my own, but 1 would like
to know how 1 should announce
my marriage to my students and
their parents?
"ShOuld 1 include the students
themselves (Six years to IL years
of age) or their parents on my
announcement list if either? My
teaching is a real business in it
self, so there is little intimacy be-
tween myself and the parents.
I'm fact, some of the parents
have never met. 1 want to do
the right thing, and / do not want
the parents to feel sighted, nor
do I want them to think / am a
gift seeker "READER."
I can't see very much reason
for you to send wedding announce
mentS to your students or to their
parents. But, on the other hand,
it would not be incorrect for YOU
to do this, if you wish.
It would, however, seem a bit
inappropriate to send these an
nouncementS to the parents whom
you have never met. Probably
you do know the parents of the
very young children, and, if you
wish, these announcements could
be addressed like this:
Mr.. and Mrs. George Graham
Miss Grace Graham
Three Home Terrace
PleaSantville,
Ohio.
Since wedding announcements
do not "call for" wedding gifts,
you needn't worry about this side
of the question.

sharply up by a clever, dramatic
turn.
RISKED EVERYTHING
On one bit of strategy this

nothing, and felt / was distinctly

men who talked and Dragged. For
