n kept at high attitudes, you'll
see the bluebird anywhere east of
the Rockies and southwark from
central Canada this summer. He is so
easy to know, the only blue bird with
a robin-red breast. His song is unob-
trusive, sweet, a warbling t-wee,
tu-,uee. His flight is swift. undulating
and jerky. A demure and lovable little
fellow, he ranks high in the affection
of mankind.
Last summer four pairs nested in
my birdhouses. When one brood was
hatched and out of the nest, the male
assumed care of the young birds.
while the female busted herself with
preparing another nest for second
bevy of youngsters. In this fashion
each pair raised two or three broods.
Both birds are devoted parents,
but Mr. Bluebird is not above an out
side Irritation. Gallant fellow, he will
often offer a nice, wormy tidbit to some
other lady when it should 60 to his
mate. Once the fledglings break the
shells, however, he becomes model
father, and should his mate be killed he
will assume full parental duties until
the young can shift for themselves.
Bluebirds are honey, trusting crea-
lures. They prefer open spaces to the
forests. Grass-grown orchards offer
them nesting material and ample
food. They like to set up housekeeping
close to people, and quickly appropri-
ate nesting houses provided by man.
Cut circular opening in gourd and
hang it in tree; or cut off an old
hollow limb, close it at both ends and
bore suitable hole in it; or, if you pre-
fer, you may build more orthodox
birdhouse. Where they must compete
with starlings, you should cut your
hole not more than an inch and half
in diameter. This will admit the blue
birds and will be too small for the star
lings.
Bluebirds are year-round residents
in the South. and are welcome not
only for their beauty but because of
their helpfulness. Eighty per cent of
their food consists of grasshoppers,
caterpillars, beetles, ants, flies, bugs
and other pests.

their young. My cocker spaniel be-
came suddenly interested in the blue
birds last summer. He stood looking
at the birdhouse, barking. The birds
futtered about. uttering short alarm
notes. The cocker went to the pole
and stood with his front paws on it
and the bluebirds swooped down
on him. The dog, dismayed, ran to
me with an aggrieved expression on
his face. He was complaining to me
that they wouldn't play - but the
bluebirds would have none of his good
intentions! -eLMeR RANSOM

To Provide Warm Color

IF you have light brown, golden or
reddish hair, mixed with gray. you
can bring the white hair up to par with
camomile tea, or mere suggestion
of henna in your shampoo rinse. There
are ready-prepared shampoo rinses
that you can buy to impart the same
warm color to the hair.
For black or dark brown hair, there
are blue. purple and platinum gray
rinses, all intended to neutralize salt
and-pepper mixtures and to rout any
yellow tinge from the hair. However,
some people have not the kind of
white hair that stands purple rinse.
And before you use this, it is impor-
tant to watch out for acid conditions
in the system for these may cause color
changes and leave you with an un-
wanted pink in your hair. In general,
the safest rinses are of true-blue
color which, unlike the purples, has

As FOR hair that simply becomes less
colorful or takes on mousy drab-
ness, here are several ways to brighten
it up.
Half the battle is won through thor
oughgoing shampoos suited to the
needs of your hair, and plenty of rims
ing to remove all residue. Dry your
hair by hand in the sunlight wherever
possible.
There are any number of brighten
ing rinses on the market, that you can
use to kindle more highlights and even
to add a tint to your hair that lasts
from one shampoo to the next. Or
you can make up your own by using
handful of camomile flowers. stepped
in a pint of hot water, and diluted
according to the needs of your hair.
Then there is lemon. If you have
tried lemon rinses and have obtained
negligible results, restrain your scoff
ing until you have tried an experts
methods of applying it. The hairdress-
er whom l consulted gets his results
with concentrate equivalent to fif-
teen lemons squeezed into basin Of
water.
He suggests you use at least four
or five large lemons. squeezed and
strained into your rinse, soak your
hair freely in the solution, and wash
it off thoroughly. If the acid is left
on your hair, it has tendency to
streak. increases dryness. and makes
texture porous. If all of the lemon par
ticles have not been strained out care
fully for the rinse, they will cling to
the hair. make the color spotty, and
cause your hair to smell like picked
herring.

brushing, nightly use of pomades and
oily dressings for the coiffure are
"musts" if you want your HAIR to
wear a bathed-in-luster look.
If Nature has played one of her
singular caprices on you and has
planted lone silver streak or a
feather-li tuft of white in your dark
hair, there is thin magnesia paste
which can be used to accent this
beauty mark. Dress your coiffure the
way you want to wear it, and stroke
the powdery liquid through the white
hair with a small brush. This whiten-
ing aid is easily removed with your
hairbrush.

lust how Nature feeds color to the
hair is a question that stumps
~ even the experts But we all know
that a time comes when the pigment
supply diminishes, and hair grows
gray, drab or noticeably less rich in
color. And these changes are not neces-
sarily an indication of advancing age.
The presence of graying or fading hair
is not unusual even on comparatively
young heads.
But what can we do about it? Every
woman. faced with this problem. feels
inclined to give Nature hand before
she resorts to other methods. So, with
this idea in mind, consulted New
York hairdresser who makes such
problems his speciality, and found out
from him what modern methods offer
to bring out the maximum of interest
in graying and fading hair.
If your hair is beginning to gray.
he urges you to smarten up your
coiffure to focus attention more on
style than color. He recommends the
bob since it lends itself more readily
to p-to- -the-minute modes. Remem-
Der, too, that short hair, trimmed and
thinned out often, allows for more
uniform blending of white and dark
mixtures. If hair is kept short and
floated free, it is less likely to have
stubborn streaks of yellow in the ends.

fined to the head in knots or punches.
Switching the hair part to various
points of the head is frequently a
helpful trick in distributing light and
dark color more equally during the
difficult graying stages.

late grooming help to Offset any de-

to deepen any yellow tinge that is
present in the hair if they are allowed

Color rinses are an aid in neutraliz-

hair to a more uniform tone. When
you use these, however, it is always
wise to make a color test on strand
of hair before submerging the whole
head.

WHITEVILLE, Nov. 4.-Due to

High school has fallen below the
ability of the water pump to pick

to close the school for a three-day

The present water system has a

low well, 1,25O-gallon per hour pump.
The low water line at present pre-
vents this pump from picking up the
water.
During the week a 10 foot deep

been drilled and is in readiness for
