So many of us give hours Of care
full attention to our compilations
and completely ignore the frame
that sets off that complexion-our
hair. No matter how lovely the
face, hair that is dried out, streaked
or too oily will mar the effect.
Summer is the hardest. season on
the hair. Most of US neglect to
take proper precautions against sun
and wind. We go without hats and
sit for hours in the broiling sun
and then are distressed to find our
hair parched and streaked.
The hair should be washed more
often in warm weather than in
cool Just because you have your
hair washed regularly once a week
or once every two weeks during the
winter doesn't mean that the same
rule should hold during the summer.
Simple hot Oil shampoos or oil
treatments are invaluable during
the summer to counterfeit the dry
ing effects of the sun. However,
streaked appearance of the hair
brought on by over-exposure to the
sun may require the use of a wise
selection of hair cOloring. For hair
thus streaked an all-Over applica-
ton Of cOloring, matched with your
original shade, will give uniform
effect. ..-.
Gray or grazing hair. Of course,
can be cOlored by touching up only
the gray strands, although it is
usually wise to apply the first ap-
plication uniformly over the head.
After that you need only touch up
the part nearest the scalp as the

grazing grows In, since the hair, as
you know, grows from the scalp, not
from the ends. It's as simple as
that and well worth your while.
Be sure to brush your hair regu-
larly. Why not arrange a set routine
and stick to It? Pick out the most
convenient time of day to brush
your hair and the best day Of the
week to have it washed. In that
way you are less likely to put 1t
off as long as possible and In the
end neglect the important hundred
strokes Of the brush. Nothing gives
the hair a more cleaning, FURNISHED
look than regular brushing. Brush
ing removes accumulated dust and
CRIME from the hair and stimulates
the circulation. Be sure, however,
to keep your brushes and combs I'm
maculately clean.
And don't forget the ounce of
prevention. Keep a hat or some
protective covering on your hair
when you are in the sun.
These are all simple suggestions,
but If you follow them they will
reward you with shining "Crown
of Glory" "

Printing in China 50 B. c.

Printing is traced to China, where
as early as so B. c. the Chinese
had originated a method Of printing
with ink on paper by means Of en-
graved blocks. The question Of who
was the first to employ movable
printing types has long been a mat
ter Of controversy. Laurens JAMS
zoon Coster, Of HARLEM, Holland.
Is said to have invented, wooden
type about 1920 and movable metal
type between 1440 and 1446. How
ever, It is to John Gutenberg. Of
Mainz, Germany, that Is attributed
the credit Of being the inventor or
at least responsible for the great
improvement In the production of
movable types and for the crafts
manship displayed In printing his
celebrated Bible in lass.

1t took 10 days for Burt to muster
his courage. Then he was awkward
and blundering. He felt silly. Hester
said: "Oh, are you Burt Andrews,
who lives next door? I'm awfully glad
to know you. When she said that, he
gasped. Why. she sounded as though
she were glad. Actually.
So they made a date for Thurs
day night. and on Wednesday Burt
remembered that his best blue suit
needed cleansing and pressing. In q
sort Of panic he rushed downtown
with it and into Abe Goldman's dry
cleaning shop. Abe said he couldn't
get the suit ready before Friday.
Burt begged him, pleaded with him,
implored him. But Abe was adamant.
Business was business. There were
other and better customers than Burt
who wanted their suits by Thursday.
So Burt finally resorted to bribery, re-
linquishing one of the three dollars
he had taken from his savings to
spend on Hester. Abe beamed and
nodded when he saw the dollar.
EVEN then it was late Thursday
when Burt got his suit. He had
to dress in a hurry. Then, descending
the stairs, with only 10 minutes to
spare, he became aware Of the pain
in his side His right side. A sharp,
twingy pain. He slowed his pace
When he entered the living room his

"Yes," she said. "Yes, yes, no.
Oh, you -What-Well, he
seems pretty bad" A long wait, then:
"All right. Good-by."
Burt" said his mother, "Ill have
to drive you to DR.. Bradleys Office.
He's going to meet US there He says
it might be serious. How does 1t feel
now?"
Worse. Whatll I do about Hes
ter?"
Never mind Hester. This is more
serious. Come along"
X ~
RURT suffered on the drive to DR..
Bradley's. The pain was terrific.
The physician hadn't arrived when
they got there. They sat in his Office
waiting while the clock licked of the
seconds. and Burt thought Of Hester
and wondered If he would die.
DR.. Bradley presently arrived, wear
ing a serious face and ordering Burt
to stretch out on an operating table.
Burt did, removing his coat, vest and
pants. DR.. Bradley began tapping
him. Where is it the worst?" he
asked.
Il can't feel q thing now, Doc.
Honest
DR.. Bradley bent over and peered
at something on Burt's stomach.
Then he looked on the inside of Burt's
pants. We'll, Ill be damned!" he
calculated.
Burt sat up. DR.. Bradley was point
ing at Abe Goldman's cleaning label,
fastened on the inside of his pants
at the belt line by couple of little
pronged gadgets. One of the prongs
was bent forward and had been press
ing into Burts stomach, leaving a red
welt.
Burt hitched up his pants and
glanced at his watch. Nine o'clock
His date had been for 7:30. Well,
that ended it. A lovely girl like
Hester would never forgive He
couldn't explain what had delayed
him. 1t would sound silly. He couldn't
do thing but make weak apology.
He called her number on the docs
phone. A man answered "Eh?
Who? Oh, young Robbins, the boy
Hester had the date with. Well, it
wouldn't have made any difference
anyhow. Hester was taken to the
hospital an hour ago with an acute
attack of appendicitis"
