HAIR COMES FIRST-bv Sylvia Blv.l,e

AIR today still remains wom-
ans crown of glory. 1t must
i } frame her face for greater
loveliness, catch cleaning lights, cast
soft shadows, glow with health, and
obey every whim of her comb.
But in the fall your hair is apt to
show the effects of summer exposure.
The symptoms are a dull, lifeless
color, and split, brittle ends.
This means that your hair needs
serious attention. You cannot afford
to overlook the possibilities for beauty,
smartness, and even drama which
lovely hair offers.
The job ahead of you is to loosen
tight scalp, free it from dry, incrusted
cuticle, start inactive oil ducts to
working again, and force a new supply
of blood to the roots of the hair.
We offer you as an example young
swimming counselor's "straw-like"
hair which was recently reconditioned,
with notable results, by New York
salon. This girl dreaded facing her
classes this fall with hair which
showed the marks of neglect. One
month of unremitting day-after day
treatment restored her hairs lovely
sheen and healthy snap. The method
used by salon experts to reclaim it is
one you can easily follow at home.
Arm yourself with hairbrush with
strong, firm bristles; rich scalp cream
to be used at night; cleansing
tonic for daily grooming; and your
choice of sweet almond, olive or plain
castor oil for that important hot oil
treatment
Before retiring each night, part
your hair in small sections, and rub
the cream into the exposed scalp.
Then brush. Sweep your scalp with
each stroke, and push the bristles up
ward and outward until the oil reaches
the full length of your hair.
Next, comes massage. Begin at the

hairline, press the cushions of your
fingers deeply into your scalp. and
rotate so that the scalp moves but
not the fingers. Continue the rotary
motion, moving your fingers inch by
inch until you cover your scalp. If it
remains stubbornly tight, grasp a
handful of hair with your thumb and
forefinger, and pull. Lift the hair and
give it a slow, firm tug. Loosen your
grip, let the scalp relax, and pull
again. Go over your entire head.
For grooming your hair between
shampoos, spike your brush with
layers of absorbent gauze, sprinkle
with tonic to remove excess scalp

cream, and cleanse and polish with
each stroke
Wash your hair no oftener than
every ten days or two weeks during
this period. The night before your
shampoo is the time to apply hot oil
and rub it we'll into your scalp. To
wash your hair next morning, use a
fatty liquid soap. Set the hair with a
cream or oily lotion. and give it
vacation from drying machine.
If your hair is oily. follow the same
general treatment. with these two
exceptions: Start the strokes of your
brush just short of your scalp, and
use an astringent tonic to help check

The sad thing about human con-
quests -" Trevvy began

interrupted.
Trevvy stared rather grimly for
moment. you anticipate me-"
Valentine Oslo was back in his old
place; arm around Paddy; and his
rather brazen air of all-conquering
male became disturbed only when he
found how frequently Paddy's gaze
was set upon De Treville. Mrs. Coburn
exchanged portentous glance with
me and shook her head. Mr.. Coburn
smoked and lounged.
In fact nothing awakened me to the
vast issues at stake throughout the
whole of that momentous day. Not
because nothing occurred - but be-
cause was blind to the significance of
plain facts.
Do not suppose that I had forgotten
the cryptic message signed &C."
which had been dropped by Oslo. and
the loss of which had SO palpably dis
turbed him; that had overlooked the
trick with Paddy's bag to enable him
to talk privately with the yellow
skinned truck driver. What mean is
that the connecting link eluded me
and minor episodes escaped me.
suppose Paddy's growing infatua-
ton for De Treville distracted my
mind from the real issue. Making my
way forward during an interval when
Paddy had joined her mother and
father and Oslo had followed her, l
said: This is all very unusual. Trevvy

Then why ask so unnecessary a
question? Surely throughout our
friendship my efforts have been con-
stantly directed towards saving you
from that unhappy boredom to which
you are subject"
His smile told me that the words
meant nothing. except that he was
pulling my leg. But had the satisfac-
tion of knowing that the next odd
occurrence of the day proved quite as
surprising to Trevvy as to me. What
happened was this:
The authority of MIR. Symington

movement. we suddenly found our
selves, in our shallow craft which had a
high turn of speed, near that green and
curving hill - resembling the bank of
a bunker on giants golf course -

Oslo, giving signal to check the

point on the lake"

Because here nature is dehed, by

extended his arms - held back by

thing of nature, but the handiwork of
man.

way.

spot" Paddy commented.

DYE WORKS BLAST
/ IN JERSEY PROBED
One Known Dead, Another
Missing in 100000
Du Pont Explosion.
b the Associated Press.

DEEP WATER, N. j., Jan. "a.
Company Investigators searched
through twisted metal and blackened
bricks today for the cause of an ex-
plosion that shattered a four-story
unit Of the Du Pont Dye Works and
killed at least one workman yester-
day.
Another worker was missing and the
company said early today it had aban-
doned hope Of finding him alive in the
wreckage. A search was made for the
body.
-Four survivors were asked to de-
scribe the odor of acetylene gas which
they said caused three fellow workmen
to remain in the plant during the early
morning lunch period.
While the three were tracing the
leak the first explosion cut loose.
Seven or eight other blasts followed,
shaking flower pots from window sills
In the town and stirring residents 20
miles away.
One survivor quoted Charles For
shay, mechanic, Of Central Park, as
saying Wouldn't she go up now If
there was a spark" Then Mr.. For
shay went back into the plant.
He died of burns In a hospital at
Wilmington, Del. Raymond Hale,
night shift foreman, of Carneys Point,
was taken there in a critical condi-
ton. and Earl Hale OF Central Park
could not Immediately be found in
the plant wreckage. The Hales were
not related.
An inquest in the death was ordered
by Coroner William Smith, jr., of Will
mington, which lies across the Della
ware River from this South Jersey
town.
E. I. du Pont de Nemours e. Co.,
operators OF the works, estimated dam
age, including that from fire follow
ing the explosion, at 100000.
DR.. William Kirk, assistant plant
manager, said the origin Of the blasts
would not be known until the investi-
cation was completed. THAT may be
several days, possibly never" he added.
The acetylene gas was used in the
manufacture Of synthetic rubber, a
product of the plant.

Bay Seal Turns Landlubber.
Flaps 3 Miles Inland and Back
BY the Associated Press

B! the Associated Press.
HAYWARD, Calf, Jan. 24.-How
q San Francisco Bay seal marked up
an unofficial world record in the g.
mile overland flap was told here today
by Game Warden Fred Rogers.
The land-going seal-call him Mr..
Flipper-weighed 400 pounds. He set
the record yesterday over . two-way
course. from the Hayward water front
3 miles inland to the Hanson Orlof
dairy ranch and return.
Mr. F1ipper tapped the first part of
the course secretly, under cover Of
darkness.
Workers at the dairy ranch heard
what they thought was a COW in the
pasture and investigated. How the
seal got that far inland is mystery.
The dairymen telephoned Mr.. Rog-
ers. He told them to go back to bed
it was 2 a.m.-and sleep it off. But
the dairymen insisted the seal really
was there and Mr.. Rogers was afraid
to face him.
The game warden came-j!lst to
prove he wasn't afraid. He, too, was
startled. Mr.. Flipper was Tapping
around in muddy field and below
ing.

They managed to get the seal over
to a highway There the warden
started shooing him on the return lap

grunting and groaning of Mr.. Flipper

could see. bat he could smell the salt
water now. He advanced his stroke
to 120 a minute.
With whistles blowing. flags waving
and the crowd cheering, Mr.. Flipper
crossed the shoreline in a burst of

however, that Mr.. Flipper's record will
