BROKERS WORRIED
BY Low VOLUME
February Trading Smallest
for Any Month Since
February, 1885.
BY J. G. DONLEY.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. March 7.-The>stock
brokerage business has again sunk
into deep depression. Lack of life
in the speculative markets is remini-
scent Of that period which bedeviled
the Wall Street community. from
stock exchange members and heads
Of Arms down to the lowest paid boy
on the pay rolls, some three years or
more ago.
February produced the smallest ag-
gregate of stock transactions for any
month since February, 1895. That is
a serious situation for the average
brokerage firm. for brokers make a
living. and their office staffs along
with them, from the commissions they
receive for brokerage service They
have nothing to sell but service" and
that service consists in the execution
of buying or selling orders on the
floor OF the exchange.
The current run Of contracted deal
inss turns thoughts back to that period
from September. 1884, to April. 1895,
when the buying and selling of stocks
fell to such tow ebb that 1t became
the fashion for two or three small
firms to coalesce into one larger firm,
thus reducing the overhead in rela-
ton to the aggregate volume Of busi-
ness. Sales for last month totaled
only . little more than l4.50o. 900
shares. For February, 1888, the
volume was only little more than
100000 shares.
The low point for the eight or nine
months trough in Wall Streets spec
ulative blood-pressure three years or
so ago was set in September. 1894.
when total sales fell to only 12,635,8
shares.
Because its need y for revenues to
meet current expenses is an unpleasant
prod in the middle of its back, Wall
Street is little inclined to draw en-
couragement from the fact it was
during the previous speculative dol
drums that the so-called foundation"
was laid for the bull market, which
began in April, 1885, and carried on
with expanding speculative activity
until March. 1887. The total turn
over on the New York Stock Exchange
in 1896 was 80 per cent larger than in
1885. and more than so per cent
greater than in 1884. But. in 1887,
the volume turned downward again,
falling about l6 per cent under 1896.
Wall Street doesn't feel any easier
about the current slump in the broker
age business when it considers that the

STYLE CHATS

Paris (UP)-So much has been said this spring of the new pastel shades; orphelia mauve, sea weed blue, rose dragree, and all the other variations of pink, blue and green, that one may get the impression that all other colors are simply pasSe.
 It is not necessary to emphasize the continual smartness of black and navy blue, especially when combined with white, but if there is a color that hasn't been given its just due, it's yellow. Yet there isn't famous dressmaking house in Paris that hasn't brought out this sunny shade in its spring showing.
 Maggy Rouff used yellow jersey for playsuit; also for an afternoon dress and its hip-length jacket, both dress and jacket trimmed with em- broidered scallops and edges and heras.
 Paquin showed a print of bright orange, yellow and brown squares for the coat-lining and blouse of a gray suit.

Girl Scout Horizon VideuS
By MARIAN YOUNG

NEA Service Staff Correspondent New York-Grandmother, remem- bering how wonderfully broad-mind- ed she felt when she let her daugh- ter join the Girl Scouts; must laugh bit to herself when she looks at daughters daughter, the Girl Scout of today.
 Letting ones little girl go about in boomers, even though they were unquestionably blooming at the knee, and theories about outdoor ex- ercise and active sports being good for women did seem pretty revolu- tionary then. Today, 26 years later, although the fundamental principles of Scouting remain the same, Girl Scouts must seem, to Grandmother at least, vastly liberated.
 Grandma remembers, for example, a 1912 basketball game between two teams in the Savannah troop. None but chosen few women were per- mitted to see 1t. For the game was chastely played behind drawn can vas curtains.
 Were We'll Covered
 Every time Mother sees the local troop in camping shorts - minus stockings-she remembers her own uniform that consisted of long blue duck skirt and high necked blouse, which she had to make herself, and black cotton stockings. She notices their hair-trim and neat and close ly cropped, and contrasts it with her own long hair, tied bushily and hotly at the back of her neck.
 Mother, although proud of being a pioneer Girl Scout, feels little humble as she contemplates her daughters far more widely extend- ed knowledge as bestowed by the modern program.
 For today's Girl Scouts are expert in every conceivable kind of outdoor sport. They know, not the names of three birds and flowers, sufficient knowledge for passing the nature test then, but the names and char acteristics of at. least thirty birds and thirty flowers.
 Today's Scouts study, among other things, astronomy, how to dress the art of applying makeup and how to be charming, as well as home making, first aid and handicrafts. Part of the time their pioneer mothers put in learning why nice girls should not wear makeup, mod ern Scouts spend finding out why it should be worn and how to get it on smartly. The heads of the organ ization agree that the seven-year- old Brownie of today knows a good deal more about nature, science and handicraft than the 1912 Girl Scout knew in her teens. Little girls, par ticularly little Girl Scouts, become useful citizens at any early age these days.

If You Have Tears, Prepare Now To Hold Them
 Rack

Raising the blood calcium level brings great relief or complete free dom to the majority of hay fever sufferers, I infer from the reports I have received from hay fever vic- tins who have followed regimen for that purpose. But if we may rely on the good faith of human guinea pigs there are still a con- siderable minority of hay fever vic- tins who derive no apparent benefit from such course. I say IF-just between ourselves I would not stake everything on them. After all, hu- man guinea pigs, though ever so earnest when they volunteer to serve as subjects of experiment, are human, and it is human nature to forget such things when one tires of the program or when the novelty wears off or when the ail- ment which prompted one to VOL unteer begins to get better.
 This is not a call for ten thous- and human guinea pigs. I'm all caught up with h. g. p.'s. They have no conscience-they would as soon spoil the whole experiment as not and they do just that, apparently for no other reason than to show their special knowledge. For human material of any value we must look to the prisons and jails-not this year, but eventually, when morbid sentimentality and graft are elim- mated from the control of such in- stitutions.
 Spring hay fever begins in some sections in April, in others in May or June and runs on into July. Autumn hay fever season begins in some sections as early as the mid dle of July and runs on until the first frosts in late September or early October.
 Spring hay fever is caused by grass pollens and tree pollens. Fall hay fever is caused chiefly by rag weed pollen. Hay fever victims will find valuable information about the various pollens in different sections of the country and their seasons in a government publication Reprint 610 from the Public Health Reports, which may be purchased for a nickel, from the Government Print ing Office, Washington, D. c.
 Here we had better mention also that I have a monograph on hay fever, which any reader may ob- tain on request (no clipping of this item, please), provided the reader incloses a stamped envelope bear ing his address. This monograph or treatise gives detailed instructions for preparing to hold back the tears this season, or if you've already started the big sniffle it tells you how to restrain the nuisance.
 You know, I'm forever proposing health ideas or principles that an aggressive competitor of mine, the Pooh-Bah of the American meddle- some association periodically tells the plodding practitioners are un- accepted, unscientific and queer then a year or two later the plod- ding profession adopts the unac- :epted, unscientific, queer principles in practice and everybody forgets the whole silly business. For in- stance the modern treatment of hernia and the diathermy extir- patton of tonsils-not my discover ies but I urged them upon the pub lie while Morris everlastingly be- labored me and my wicked column for doing it.
 Watch this space. Day after to- morrow I'm going to offer hay fever sufferers my latest inac- cepted, unscientific. queer" notion. At present all I say is that if it

-BEAUTXs---- Glori1img
 Yourself
By Alicia Hart

Even the best permanent wave, given by the most expert hairdresser, is more satisfactory if the hair which receives the wave is shining,y healthy, really in the pink of con- dition. One who wants new per- manent, on which depends the suc- cess of her Easter coiffure, to De outstandingly pleasing ought to con- centrate on brushing and special scalp treatments for several weeks before the day she has made the appointment for the wave.
 Nightly brushing makes for hair and scalp health, of course. This is true whether your hair is oily, dry or normal, thick or thin, coarse or ne. You cannot brush your hair too much, and you can't brush it every night for one month without seeing results.
 Don't let anyone tell you that you'll make your hair too dry, or otherwise ruin it, by washing it once week. Lack of brushing-not meticulous cleanliness-makes for dryness. Ones face gets dirty and has to be cleaned several times a day. Except for light dust which brushing removes, ones hair gets just as dirty. It certainly needs to be cleaned once week.
 Furthermore, the method by which it is cleaned is important to hair health. If you have your hair wash ed in beauty salon, insist upon three Soapings, with a rinsing be- tween each, then really thorough final rinse. If you shampoo it your self, rinse it at least five times, using bowl of clean water each time. Nothing is worse for the hair than haphazard rinsing.
 Every night between now and the day you plan to get a new per- manent wave, and always before a shampoo, brush your hair for five minutes. Then noisten the scalp with good tonic and massage it ,n for another five. Providing you use upward and outward strokes, brush ing won't spoil waves and curls. If you put the tonic on your scalp not on your hair, place fingers firm ly on the scalp and move it-not fingertips, the liquid won't have a chance to loosen the wave.
 If you have avoided hair tonic treatments because you've never found one that is simple to use and doesn't leave your hair smelling like mans barber shop, better look around at some of the newest prep arationS on the market.
 There are several tonics which are easy to use and not heavily per- fumed. One variety comes in handy bottle with a perforated cork top. Simply part your hair, then press the perforated top against scalp, running it along the part from fore- head to nape of the neck. Make another part no more than an inch from the first and repeat. Keep on until every inch of the scalp is moist.
