Own Hair Is
Tricky Job
Use of Soap in Bar
Form Should Be
Discouraged.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

A GREAT many women 60 to beauty
shops and have their hair sham
pooed and f1nger-waved. But a great
many more shampoo their own hair
at home. In fact. statistics show that
with = recession a good percentage Of
the women who come to beauty sa-
Ions for their settings do their own
pre-shampooing at home.
One seldom thinks Of q shampo as
an art. True. 1t doesn't exactly re-
quire the skill of restyle haircut
or an individualised finger wave
But. as with everything else, there IS
. right and wrong way. And the more
little inside tricks you know. the more
successful your home shampoo Is
bound to be.
For instance. II the shampoo fol-
lows a warm oil treatment, 1t is best
to start the shampoo by applying the
soap lather first. However, if no oil
treatment precedes the shampoo, then
it is best to start by rinsing the hair
thoroughly with warm water, prefer
ably using bath or shampoo spray.
This removes surface dust and lint.
Above all, put ban on soap in
bar form. Never apply the bar of
soap directly to the hair Instead,
shave the soap. pour a pint Of water
over it, allow it to simmer over q low
flame When dissolved strain it
through two layers of cheesecloth and
al tN Thov, 10
use.
Work up a rich lather. rinse sew
eral times. Repeat the lather and the
rinsing. If you have no shampoo
spray. get under the shower It is
delightful experience to have the
water pouring through the hair until
every bit of soap is completely rinsed
away. Dry the hair between Turkish
towels by light rubbing and scalp
massage. This natural drying is one
decided advantage that the home
shampoo has over the beauty salon
shampoo.
There are any number Of satisfac-
tory shampoos. A pure grade of CASTLE
soap is particularly good for light or
gray hair, tar soap for brunette hair,
pure lemon soap for blond hair. Lii
quid green soap for dandruff.
Before the shampoo it is q good
trick" to brush the hair and lightly
very lightly scrape up any dandruf1
with a comb. Following the shampoo
it Is wise to use glorifying rinse.

tomobiles, covered with black, stiff
whiskers all over, literally start TAX
ing you-or your belongings-to
pieces. What baby buffalo moth
can do to a tasty bit of mink coat,
or priceless Oriental rug. is nobody's
business. Like an army, the baby
buftaloes travel on their stomachs-
and they are built for endurance and
speed.
THEY like everything. Books. papers

telling you). furs. wool and leather,
silk, linen and lace-maybe they don't
actually eat all of them, but they
set up housekeeping in them, and
proceed to forage from base, as it
were. They are bold enough to at
tack blankets on beds. and the fact
that silver fox is being used every
day doesn't bother them bit. They
just go along for the ride.
The answer to their control is
eternal vigilance Never leave any,
thing undisturbed over a long period
of time. Check the linen closet we'll
every week; vacuum rugs on both
sides once week; if you have tackled
down carpet, say couple of prayers

fur man have your furs early for
storage, and if you keep a neckpiece
out. have him check it often for you.
Wash closets. bureau and desk draw
ers and other containers well with
plenty of soap, water and ammonia.
Don't forget the closet walls-buffalo
moths love to hide in cracks If you
really find a lot of them, don't waste
any time-get high-powered fumi-
CANT of some type, and let 'em have
it. You won't get anywhere with
ordinary methods. because buffalo
moths are no gentlemen.
Don't try to store valuable things
at home. Send them to cold storage
or to place where they are put
in a lethal chamber every so often
until you want them again. All the
storage houses in town offer some
special service for you along these
lines. It's well worth the price, I
can assure you!
Washington is becoming pretty
tropical these days, and our bug
population rises accordingly. The only
hope for lis is to keep ahead of them.
Once we're down-were out, and the
bugs are in. Especially buffalo moths!

mlnoS OF q lou OF pretty girls VINO are
trying to decide what kind OF frocks
they will wear. The first requisite Is,
Of course, that the dress will be lovely
to look at. The next one is that it
will not be too expensive for a college
girls clothes budget, and, last. 1t must
be frock that will be practical for
other parties and dances throughout
the summer
Such frock is not hard to find this
season. In fact, there are 50 many
that would seem to exactly fill the bill
that the difficulty lies In being able
to select only one. The materials up
for consideration are all fllmy and lend
themselves easily to the very full
types of skirts that are tops" for this
kind Of dress. Net, organza, NOUS
seline de sole, sheers that look like
chiffon and lacey eyelet embroidery
are all suitable.
For the May procession you may
choose either q dress with a detach-
able jacket or one with a high back
and puff sleeves. They will be frocks
that are distinctly in the bridesmaid
class. The May Queen can have a
slightly more elaborate frock than her
attendants, and may even like trail
ing train. and garland of flowers
will no doubt be her coronet. There
is some discussion among the girls
themselves as to whether they will
wear flowers or hats this year. One
group has decided to make it wide
brimmed leghorns with shallow crowns
and narrow bands Of velvet ribbon
with long streamers at the back in
the Kate Greenaway style.
A BOVE are shown two frocks that
= some OF the girls are considering
for May Day and class day. They are
both Of organza and may be had in
white or any pastel color. Lace trims
one. and wiry horsehair braid the
other. and both have full skirts and
separate boleros.
But We found even lovelier ones
than these, the ones fashioned of lay
ers OF net over taffeta suggesting the
essence Of spring more completely
than any OF the others. There was
. pale blue one with wide square neck
outlined with grosgrain ribbon with
small bow At the front and small
pun sleeves; no other trimming, just
yards and yards Of skirt fullness that
was perfect in its simplicity, and an
ideal background for an armful of
flowers. Yellow roses and snapdragons
with some blue delphiniums would
be effective against the pale blue net,
and leghorn hats with yellow and blue

Bribe Poor
For Child
Effort to Achieve
Reward May Lead
To Real Trouble.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

SAM is quick. lively and active. When
the teacher calls on a child he
turns instantly to see how he takes
it. If somebody drops his pencil he
is on the spot to pick it up and. of
course, march leisurely around the
room on his way back He has to
be polite, hasn't he? He can't pass
in front of the class, can he?
OF course Sam fails to get a gold
star on Friday afternoon. His friend
Able never fails. Never does the
teacher have to look at Able so GER
tain he is to be doing exactly right.
Every Friday afternoon when the
beginners class is summed up and
judged, Able hands up five blue stars
and gets shining gold one which
proudly mounts it on chart that
hangs right by the living room door
in sight of all visitors
"Sammie, why don't you get gold
star like Abie?"
She won't give me any"
That's because you are a bad boy,
Sammie. Now this week you try
hard. and if you get one-are you
listening to me, Sammie? You don't
look it. If you get one I will buy
you a new bicycle, the one with the
balloon tires
Sammie pondered the idea. To get
gold star for himself was out of
the question. He knew his limitations
A in reading he could get, but A in
conduct, never. But there was Able
If you give me your gold star I'll
let you ride my bike once for every
time I ride it. Yes?"

Able thought that over. sammie

Would Miss Jennie like me to-"
Eyes. She likes you to. You come,
mamma.
Sammie, too, was planning. did
you buy my bike yet, papa?"
No. You didn't get a star yet,
Sammie."
But surely will. Please get it,
papa, so I can ride it Friday"
So convinced was father that he
bought the wheel and hid it in the
cellar where Sammie promptly found
it. He rode 1t round and round the
cellar and smiled to think of his
triumphant appearance on Friday aft
ernoon.
Miss Jennie cleared the desk for
action. Glass l sat up tall. The door
opened and in came Abies mamma.
80 glad to see you," said Miss Jennie,
beaming. Il am just going to give
Able his gold star. He is first on
the list" And that gold star went into
mammals handbag while Able watched
with solemn Joy and feeling of safety
achieved.
Sammie turned pale. In the ward
robe he punched Able good and hard,
and Able cried. and the other children
called teacher. The tale was told.
Miss Jennie looked thoughtful. WELL"
said she, next week I am going to
give gold stars for good work in les
sons. Maybe Sammie can win one
then and get his bike" Sammie
thought he could. So did mamma
and papa. What could YOU do?

and how and where do men propose?
I have known a man to ask the vital
question when he and the girl were
dodging traffic during the rush hour
on crowded street. And when they
were eating corned beef and cabbage
at q restaurant, with half q dozen
walters hanging around within ear
shot. And when q man had beguiled
a girl to look at g new house and
sandwiched his will-you-b -be-mine in
between his ballyhoo about the
plumbing and the heating apparatus.
I have known a widower to tell the
girl he was asking to marry him that
the reason he fell for her was because
she reminded him so much of his first
think that a girl would jump at the
chance to marry him when he in
formed her that he was looking for
a good cook and that her apple pie
had hit the vulnerable spot in him.

And you will notice that one of the
secrets that no woman ever tells. not
even to her grandchildren, is what
grandpapa said when he asked her to
marry him.
Heaven knows, there has been little
enough Of glamour about the average
proposal and in the future there prom
ises to be still less. For the students
in one Of the colleges that have a
course In lovemaking and marriage

Using ones head Is difficult at
any time in choosing a life partner"
says the professor, because love is an
emotional matter and under strong
emotional forces it is hard to think
clearly, and the very force of desire
clouds your reasoning ability"
Which is all true, of course. But
the question is if you take away all
the lures that lead to marriage, would
anybody ever get married?

* letters come to this column
from young men who want
to know how to propose mar
riage to the girls with whom they are
in love. Offhand one would think
that knowledge OF how to do this
would come by Nature, as Dogberry
thought knowledge of reading and
writing did. but apparently such Is
far from being the case.
Shy youths choke up on their
Adams apple when they try to ask
Angelina or Mary Jane to be theirs.
Glib takers find themselves dumb
when they reach the crucial point in
the courtship. Many a long drawn
out keeping company gets longer
and longer because the boy friend can
never summon up nerve enough to
pop the question. And many a poor
girl gets so worn out waiting for dila-
tory lover to mention wedding rings
that she has to bring up the subject
herself.
Just why man who isn't baShful
about asking for anything else he de-
sires should get panicky when he
offers gilt-edge life job to girl who
has given every indication she is ready
to jump at it, nobody knows. Yet he
generally does. Maybe it is his guard

the only ones who do it gracefully are
the professional philanderers who never
have the slightest intention of taking
