ABOUT BEAUTY
by DR.. w. BaYaxd Long

lief that any method of removing hair
from the skin or cutting the hair on
the head increases growth in numbers
has never been scientifically con-
hrmed. But any temporary method of
removing hair close to the skins sur
face will make it grow back more
bristly to the touch.
Will dyes or bleaches retard the
growth of the hair? This question is
asked frequently by women who seem
to believe that the growth of their
hair remains static after some such
treatment. As regards the dyes and
bleaches the question is to be an
swered in the negative, as it never has
been shown that any external appli
cation affects the growth Of the hair.
As matter of fact nothing that we
know of affects the rate OF growth of
hair. 1t either continues to grow or
falls out, slowing up gradually as the
individual increases in age. At twenty
you may need a haircut once week.
At forty once every ten days. At sixty
perhaps only once month.
Should the hair be washed oftener
than once a week? If you have an oily
scalp you can wash it every day if
that is necessary to keep it free of
grease and dirt With dry scalp and
hair as little shampooing as good
grooming permits is indicated.

had required eighteen months to build
and cost $500.
But Hawk knew nothing OF flying
technique, and an experienced pilot
was persuaded to test it. Accustomed
to flying heavier ships. the pilot came
in too fast for his initial landing and
crashed into fence A delay of six
weeks followed. while repairs were
financed and effected
Then Hawk, with no supervised
training and no knowledge OF navlga-
ton, set to work to teach himself to
fly. He began by taxing the ship
about the COW pasture he uses for an
airport. Soon he learned to pull the
plane off the ground for short Jumps"
Then one day he "hopped'' it into the
air too close to the fence. 1t was
either stay up or crack up, so Hawk
stayed up for his first solo flight. In
fact, he stayed up until he ran low on
gasoline and had to return to earth.
How he made his first landing is still
a mystery to him.
Connot Be Licensed
NEITHER the plane nor the pilot are
properly licensed, so both must stay
away from licensed airports and dare
not fly within twenty-five miles OF
commercial airline routes. The plane
has been identified with an insignia by
the Department of Commerce. but
cannot be licensed because of its un-
orthodox origin.
When the SHOWS came to the Pan
handle last winter. Hawk parked his
plane in a barn on his brothers ranch.
But when snowdrifts blocked all roads
over the plains, and the cattle. quar-
tered several miles off the main arterial
highways, could not be reached by
ordinary means of transportation. he
decided to do something about it.
With the aid of three friends, he set
to work late one afternoon to build a
pair of skis. None of the four had ever
seen an actual pair of airplane skis.

Here are answers to
questions women ask
about common taboos

lDHERE are some beauty supersti-
tions which may be labelled as
"old wives tales inasmuch as
they are based on misleading, IRA
tional ideas. They do. however. persist
and it may be said that the fostering
of such myths is by no means the sole
lob of women. Men believe them too
and pass them on with equal glibness.
That both men and women readers
of THIS WEEK want to be set arlght
on some Of these popular beliefs is
indicated by a volume of inquiries.
With the idea of disposing OF some OF
these which modern medical knowl-
edge has safely debunked we present
the following list of typical questions
and answers.
Will face creams containing lanolin
induce a growth of superfluous hair!
This myth has no scientific basis in
fact to confirm it. In the first place
large number of cold creams have
lanolin as one of their constituents
and it is quite easily seen that if the
creams were responsible for the growth
of hair there would be much more of
it than is seen in our contacts. What
does happen very frequently is this:
A girl will have already present
downy fuzz on the face that is grad
ually increasing. Suddenly variety
of cold creams is used and shortly
thereafter the excess hair on the face
is noticed. Human nature being what
it is, the growth of the hair is attrib-
uted to the cream. AS a matter of fact
the latter had nothing to do with it
and the whole thing is coincidental.
Derived From Wool
1HIs superstition arises from the
fact that lanolin is derived from the
wool (hair) of the sheep; and it is
but step to assume that the content
of the hair of one animal would have
some influence in producing similar
growth in another However it doesn't
work out that way. 1t more nearly
resembles the body's natural skin
lubricating substance than any other
fat and to certain extent it can be
absorbed by the skin. 1t is an excel
lent lubricant. OF course better alb
sorption is gotten where the cream is
left on over a considerable period of
time. 1t is also of value in cases where
the physician wishes certain drugs to
be actually absorbed by the skin.

There are two versions, and ] find strong adherents to both. The first is that Wendell L. Willkie is the COP. presidential candidate by popular demand and personal charm.
 On the surface, there is much to support this. It was weeks ago that the hulking. good-humored quick-witted utilities captain told me, without conceit or bombast, There is definite and far reaching movement in this coun- try to put business back into gov ernment, and because I believe what these people believe and say so, I have become the spear head of :. that movement"
 Before the convention had start ed, Willkie had said he would be nominated on the sixth ballot.

Only four Moose ball players ap- peared yesterday to mix with Doug las on the Firemen's Park diamond so Douglas won by right of forfeit, to 0.
 Fans were given baseball, however when the Moose secured five Elk and Douglas ball players to make up team.
 When the smoke had settled, the Moose had won, 9-6. but 1t was wild ball with total of B hits and eight errors.
 George Wiley. Elk infielder and outfielder, caught for the make up team last night, did good job of it, and in addition, rapped out the only home run of the game and hit two of four.
 Eddie Nielsen, youngest ball play CT in the league who got home run in the park the other day, nearly duplicated it last night when bis drive to left field bounced over Jen- sens head. Nielsen rounded third safely, but couldn't beat the relay to home plate

starter, adroit at fielding from any position over a wide range. He should have a strong. accu- rate throwing arm and should be able to throw underhand, side- arm and overland.
 He makes more long throws than any other infielder and cov- CTS more ground. He races in to grab slow rollers and fire them to first-or he dashes back into short left and center field for pop flies
 Teams With Second Stacker
 Footwork is important. A right handed shortstop must learn to field ground balls off his right foot. If he is forced to cut deep behind second for grounder he must be able to whirl and rifle the ball to first. He must back up the third baseman. Sometimes when third sacker makes a stab at ball and misses, the short stop behind him can field it for the putout.
 Perfect team work and under standing between the shortstop and second baseman is necessary for double-play success. Starting 2 double play, the shortstop throws to the second baseman from whatever position he fields the ball. throwing underhand, side arm or overland. He should throw to the second baseman at about shoulder height, enabling him to pivot sharply for the toss to first
 When the shortstop himself receives a double play throw at second. he should get the bali about one step away from the bag, hit the cushion with his pivot foot and throw. A shortstop often must act on instinct. For instance; deep grounder, through the mid die drives him behind second and a. runner at second speeds for third. The sfortstop must make a lightning decision, whether to play for the more certain putout at first or take a chance of catching the advance runner.
 Generally, shortstop covers second base on all ground balls hit be- tween first and second, on mode.-I ately deep fly balls to the left side of second and on all fly balls that elude the outfielders to the right side of second. Third base is cov- cred whenever that baseman leaves his position to field fly balls.
 Catches Sleepers
 The shortstop is the logical man to catch runner off second. This play should be used only when the shortstop is sure the pitcher won't throw wild. The shortstop can fake two or three darts to second and then, on a pre-. arranged signal, break quickly for the bag. take the throw and tag the runner.
 On throws to third base from the outfield. the shortstop acts as cutoff man. On long base hits and fly balls deep into the out field, he runs out to act as relay man. Other infielders shout to him where to throw.

 Now Pays
 Interest
Star Slovenian Southpaw Just Handtuffs h.
 dians' Rivals
By RAY 5LOssER

CLEVELAND, July i5.--It took Al Milnar a long while to live up to his early promise, but the Cleve- land Indians patience with the big southpaw pitcher finally is paying big interest.
 The Indians picked Milnar up in his native Cleveland, and farmed the taciturn Slovenian to the Zanesville (O) club of the Mid Atlantic League in 1883. He prompt ly struck out 18 of his future mates in night exhibition game, but it took him seven years to round into a consistent big league winner.
 The Tribes front office brain trust almost gave up on Milnar be- fore the 1889 season, and thought of trading him to Boston. They changed their minds just in time.
 The -pounder, fighting his lack of control, started to show promise last season and finished with IA triumphs and 12 defeats walking a man almost every other inning. This spring, 27 years ole and still not a proven major league CT, he wouldn't even predict l. wins. Instead, he did his talking from the pitchers box.
 Mlinar Was Harder |
 Milnar, who changed his name from Mlinar (the Slovenian spell ing) to make it easier to pro- nounce and spell, won 10 of hi. first dozen decisions He, Bob Eel Ter and another southpaw, Al Smith, were the pitching reasons why the Indians were right in the fight for the American League pen nant.
 The cause of Milnar's excellent performances?
 T have found my control and my curves breaking a little sharper too"
 He offers nothing more. You get the distinct impression his | mind is so completely on his work that he doesn't care to take time | to talk about it.
 Milnar went to New Orleans and Milwaukee before he came up to the Indians in 1857. Steve O'Neill. then the Cleveland man. ager, put him in against the New York Yankees and he walked the first five men to face him before another pitcher could be warmed up.
 In 1888, the former Cleveland sandlotter won three and lost one, striking out 299 batters in 68 in nings which saw him walk 26 men, with 48 runs scored against him. He started to arrive with an Thinning, to 1 victory over the Yankees last year but it wasn't un- til this campaign that he proved he could keep it up.
 Milnar is what is known to the trade as a hitting pitcher" He twirled in Cleveland amateur base ball, but almost was made into an outfielder at Zanesville before the Indians found out what was going on.

A WELL LAID SCHEME

A WELL LAID SCHEME To this, good many politicians say tosh and twaddle. They repre- sent the second version. They say Ill that informality and helter-
 kelterishness was part of one of yhe best-laid schemes to blitZkrieg l convention that any man ever conceived. They say it had its roots
 n and was a refinement of t h e utilities fight against the Govern
 nent.
 In the first place, from all over the country. they say, the dele ,ates were deluged with flood of telegrams r. that these tele- grams were inspired by last-min- ute telephone campaigns by busi- ness and utility leaders and plant ed Willkie workers.
 They say that those cheering hundreds or thousands in the convention galleries who roared whenever a single vote was tossed to Willkie and filled the interim with the din of We want Willkie!" were planted there on privately printed tickets.
 They say that no landslide was ever more effectively planned in the "smoke-fille rooms |. that the larger defections were the re- suit of out-horse trading the op- position :. that the first break came when Ali M Landon threw his Kansas delegation over to Willkie and the final blow struck when Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg tossed in his support . and that thcSe two and other breaks came rom sessions in the smoke filled .ooms where it was decided to break the back of the Old Guard.
 Well, that's how it was: either one of the most cleverly executed political schemes of our time, travelling behind smoke screen of good natured and charming political inefficiency :. /. or merely revolt in the Republican ranks spurred by a popular demand for this amazing character who had risen like a meteor from Gas ore delegate put iD those depths called the Democratic party"
 Politicians have a way of saying things like that about the opposing party.
