those theories, or any other you
may know for the cause, but the
really important thing to know
is the preventive and corrective
treatment. The correct term for
badness is alopecia. A hair will
remain attached to the scalp
as long as the holding capacity
of the hair follicle lasts. New
hairs will take, the place Of
every hair that falls as long as
the follicle can support new
growth.
There are instruments by
which the weight and the num-
Der of hairs to a square inch can
be calculated. The average num-
Der of hairs to a square inch is
about $4,000, but if the texture
of the hair is coarse, the number
will be less. Many hair special

This is the method:

is truly feminine.
It is the old, old story of
platonic friendship with a mod
ern name for 1t. You hear about
these platonic affairs but never
quite catch up to them and wit
ness the satisfaction Of them.
When a girl talks about being
a pal to a boy she means she
doesn't have any beaux.
I don't mean that a girl can't
be a good sport and have some
swell times with boys, minus
the love interest. But believe
me, she better hang on to girl
interest, unless she wants to be
a total flop and end her days
taking care of her sisters chill
dren instead of her own.
Just a Pal
To the Boys
"Dimples" writes about being
a pal to boys and seems to sense
she won't have much chance for
marriage. She even plans to
adopt children. I rather think
she would be happier if she had
a few with her own features.
She naively tells us she would
rather be a pal than sweet
heart but as a follow-up explains
boys don't ask her to go out.
They do come to her with their
love troubles, however, and talk
about-the other girl.
But read "Dimples'" letter
first:
dear Mr.. Anthe1l:
"You give such interesting,
as well as instructive advice,
that perhaps you can help me.
Personally would rather be
considered a pal to the boys
than a sweetheart. They don't
ask me to go out but they do
like me. They tell me all about
their girl friends and ask my
advice.
"Just in case you think I am
a child, I will inform you that I
am 10 years Of age, never had
a boy friend and I'm not any
the worse off because of it. My
sister tells me I'm going to be
an old maid and I'm proud of
it,

She Likes
Children

1.-THE only thing is I like chill
dren and would like to have two
of my own, but there is a way
to solve that. I can adopt two
children when I am older and
have just as much pleasure
with them as I would with my
own.
Keep up the good work and
I hope your advice helps the
girls who really need it. I know
it will help me if I change my
mind about the fellows when I
get older. "DIMPLEs."
AS I have said before, don't
play a mans game too well.
When you stand shoulder to
shoulder with him don't make
it the indifference of a palship
but let him feel the thrill of a
girls nearneSs to him. He can
stand shoulder to shoulder with
his boy friends and they under
stand each other. But when a
girl forgets she is a girl and
tries to make him forget it, he
is not only uninterested but
often irritated.
Just
BrdUe Lies
It is all right for a girl to be
converSant in the fields of sport
and recreation and enjoy them
together with the young men
she knows. But it is fatal for
her to excel or stand on COM
mon ground with them. While
some girls overdo the sex inter
est business, others can overdo
the lack of sex business.
Can't
Fool Herself
A girl may shout from the
housetops that she enjoys being
a pal to a man, likes to listen
to his girl woes and advise him,
doesn't want him for a beau
and is satisfied to be free of the
love interest in her life. But no
matter how often she tells these
brave lies to the outside world
she can't fool herself. If she is
a real girl, she is having diff
cult time of it, examining down
the emotion that diSturbs her
when she is alone.
Instead Of working hard to
maintain a pose Of palship, she
ought to stop the foolishnesS
and concentrate on how to be-
come a sweetheart instead.
Then maybe some boy will call
her "palsy-walsy," which is lot
different than when he calls
her not my pal" but A pal.

The politicians are respon-
Sible for the Wagner act and the
