Dear Mrs. Post: ! am taking

cialist and pay for each treat
ment as l go. However, these
treatments are given me by
women attendants and not by the
doctor himself. | have reason to
believe that some patients are tip

thought the medical profession did
not countenance tipping. Do you
know definitely about this and
what do you suggest that I do :?
Answer: ! have never heard of

They can be most useful during

White hair. of course, is
wonderful with fresh-cOl-

complexion.
And nature has arranged it SO
that women with swarthy skins
seldom have white hair, but in
stead a sort of gunmetal gray that
is as distinguished with its brown
skin as the combination of dark
gray and brown that is so fashion
able today.
But nature calmly overlook

Violet Rinses
Today there is great vogue for
violet rinses, too.
They can he overdone, of

they do soften the iron gray

They are especially effective

And finally. white hair needs to
be blued very subtly to combat the
yellowish look of old parchment
that is all too common.
The sun will turn white hair

carefully.
You can't stand them nearly as

Eastern Shore Commissioner at Cam
bridge last week, Joined with Som

posing the return of the road systems

former board of County Commission
ers alone opposed the return of the
roads.
A committee was appointed to study
the relief problem in the various
counties. The Association will meet
at Elkton April 18th.

TWO CHRISTMAS DAYS
CELEBRATED IN COUNTRY

There are at least two sections of
the United States-one lower Sussex
county in Delaware which many
families observed two Yuletides, the
second one on January 9Th.
The other community is Rodantha,
North Carolina eastmost town in
America.
To them the new Christmas comes
December 25th but just as regularly
on January 9Th many of the inhabi-
tants of these areas observe cold"
Christmas a carryover from the day
before the current was generally ac-
copied.
The seasoned residents of these two
sections of the United States Old
Christmas is no more unusual than the
Fourth Of July. The event has been
observed by generation after genera
ton, and will probably continue for
generations to come.
In these eastern United States COM
munities the kids heartily enjoy this
plan, because Santa Claus visits them
twice year. Parents too, participate
enthusiastically in both celebrations.

CUTTING DOWN OF FLAG
POLE FULLY EXPLAINED

A committee of Wicomico Post No.
ga, American Legion, reported, after
an official inquiry in which DR.. Paul
Cohen, superintendent, and Miss Thel-
ma Kirk, head nurse, cooperated, that
the chopping down last week of an
old flag pole on the Pine Bluff Sana-
torium grounds was on the basis that
it was considered unsafe, that there
was no i'll feeling at the institution
as a result of the removal, that no
insult either to the American flag or
any religion was intended or commit
ted and that all at the sanitorium
would welcome the erection of prop
erly constructed pole.
DR.. Cohen, deeming the pole unsafe
ordered the staff cut down, the COM
mittee said.
DIR. Cohen had had cut and trimmed
a pole for erection as soon as it's base
is creosoted.
Cutting down of the former flag
pole, the Legion committee composed
of John E. Morris, chairman Alex T.
Grier and w. w. Gavin said, had at
tracted widespread attention and the
circumstances had apparently been
misunderstood.

Charles r. Parker, of Salisbury, in
calling the meeting, invited legisla-
tors, commissioners and their attor-
neys to meet in Cambridge to attempt
solution of the two problems:
Financing relief:
The ACCESSIBILITY of legislation for
the return of maintenance of county
roads to the County Commissioners.
It is expected those attending the
meeting will also attempt to reach a
solution acceptable to all members of
other Eastern Shore problems so that
the counties will present a common
front at the 1889 Legislature.
The meeting convened at 1890 A.
M, at the Hotel Cambridge.
Many County Commissioners pres
ent were elected November 9Th.
Previous meetings have been un-
successful in solving relief problems.
The relief difficulty resulted from
failure of special State relief taxes
to provide anticipated revenue and
as a result there has been shortage
in funds for direct relief. The State
halted the distribution of funds for
direct relief last summer and threw
the full burden of caring for unem-
ployables onto the counties. Most
counties, as result, made special as
sessments for relief on their new tax
levies.
Several relief authorities proposed
that the counties make practice of
levying regularly for all forms of re-
lief.

CHRISTMAS STAR FALLS
DURING HIGH WIND

Seaford's Christmas star, which for
several years has been placed regu-
larly at Christmas time atop of the
tall standpipe and which could be seen
for miles in all directions, was blown
down during high northwest wind.
The star and framework was about
15 feet high and IL feet across.
Fortunately the star and framework
did not strike any home near the
standpipe when it fell.
Firemen state that although the fall
badly damaged the star, there is
enough of it left to form the pattern
for new star, which they will con-
struct next year.
