More Federal Air Bases
Sought by Pennsylvania

BY the Associat--.
HARRISBURG, Pa, July ia
legislative committee investigating
aerial defenses charged today that
Pennsylvania 'is not getting a fair
share of the Federal air bases"
Representative E. Kent Kane, Re
publican. chairman of the commit
tee, declared: Its all right to
build air bases down in Dixie, but
it's more likely that any war would
be fought over Pennsylvania. 1t
would be better to have some of
these pilots fly in the North and
encounter real winter conditions"
Kane said Gov. Arthur H. James
sis taking an active interest" in
plans advanced by his committee
for speeding up adequate aerial de-
fenses and has asked for con-
ference later this month.
From a military standpoint, the
best thing Pennsylvania can do is
to provide plenty of civilian fields
large enough to use for landing
military planes and encourage
civilian flying so the aerial system
will be self-sustaining, Kane de-
clared.

Dr.. {. F. Reisner Dies;
Brought Advertising
Into Use by Churches
Methodist Postor, Once
A kewsmon, Kept the
Reporters Slant

Ey the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July ls.-Dr. Chris
tian F. Reisner, who promoted
religion with the reporters eye for
the interesting, is dead.
The 68-year-old Methodist minis
ter, pastor of the $3,500.000 Broad
way Temple, died last night little
over month after undergoing a
major operation.
He was, indeed, a newspaperman-
onetime city editor of the Daily
Champion of his native Atchinson,
Kans. Applying the methods gained
from city room experiences. he was
the first to inaugurate billboard ad-
vertising for churches.
His sermons were dotted with the
unusual. such as the time he. dis
closed to his congregation how to
"spot" speakeasy, saying he had
visited such places so he would
know what I am talking about"
Organized Minute Men,"
His pastorates included the Lon
don Heights in Kansas City. Kans.,
1897 to 1903; Grace Church in
Denver from 1908 to 1910, then to
New York as pastor of Grace
Church. He took the Broadway
Temple pulpit in 1919.
DR.. Reisner underwent a gladstone
operation June and suffered re-
lapse last Friday.
When he came to New York as
pastor of Grace Church in 1910, he
organized the Methodist Minute
Men" to celebrate the denomina-
tons centenary. This organization
attracted more than 100000 Meth
odist business and professional men,
and within six months 100000 new
church members were added to rolls
throughout the country.
Defended Flappers.
Commercial advertising methods
were used extensively in this cam
paign-Dr. Reisner was the first
president of the church advertising
department of the Associated Ad-
vertising Clubs of the World-and
his activities resulted in Nationwide
contributions totaling 100000.
DR.. Reisner once suggested that
q "courting center" be established
in the Broadway Temple. defended
"fappers" during the prohibition
era and advocted that churches play
music that thrills and rests the
weary"
His widow and son, the Rev.
Ellsworth Reisner, pastor of the
Strathmoor Methodist Church in
Detroit, survive.

Care for the Hair
Between Salon
Appointments
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

New interest in hair beauty has
been aroused with the new fashions.
Neglected tresses, poorly styled, are
greatly taboo, and beauticians are
stressing proper skin grooming. And
why not? Your hair is the frame
for your face. If 1t is dull and unruly
your face is robbed Of much beauty.
If your hair is glossy and softly
arranged about your face your skin
and eyes reflect its glory.
|, Every woman should know the
few simple rules for keeping hair
lovely. Daily brushing and scalp
finger massage, regular shampoos
(the frequency depending upon the
condition of your scalp, monthly or
semi-monthly fabrication if scalp is
dry, and settings by expert fingers
If your own are not capable enough
to fashion the strands into a becom-
ing coiffure.
What boon 1t is to have hair
dressing services within our budgets,
but the mistake We are apt to make
is to depend too much on our hair
dresser and too little upon ourselves
Take, for instance, the scalp that
tends to be dry and sensitive. Too
frequent Washings, too many hours
beneath a hot dryer and certain
setting lotions are ruinous to its
beauty. Such scalp requires home
care-almost entirely-to keep the
hair glossy and elastic.
It is best, in fact, if you will
shampoo it at home under your
bathroom shower, using a bland
liquid soap and giving it thorough
rinsing with warm and cold waters.
Dry it by hand Gin the sun. if pos
sible) and brush it well afterward.
If you possibly can, allow at least
six hours to elapse before you 60 for
a setting, and at the salon request
that it be set with water only. If
the operator objects simply be firm
and tell her that you are treating
your hair with care these days. The
day after the setting natural oil
from your scalp will lubricate your
hair and give it a beautiful natural
gloss. OF course, you are expected
to brush it daily with a good brush
and spend couple of minutes mas
saying the scalp with your finger
| tips-no oil or cream or tonic is
needed unless especially prescribed
by a scalp specialist.
BY following such a routine you
reduce the minutes of hot hair dry
ing, keep your scalp and hair free
of setting lotions which may quite
| possibly not be suitable to it's type,
and you encourage natural gloss by
drying and brushing before the
setting.
If you have your hair tinted a less
artificial effect will be gained if you
have the tint applied week after
a shampoo providing that during
the interim you use absolutely
nothing on your hair-no setting
lotion or tonic or dressing of any
sort. 1t is also good to have all dry
ends clipped before the tint is ap-
piled as they absorb more of the
dye than the rest of the hair-giving
your face a harsh frame which is
the main objection to dyed hair.

Becoming Coiffures," is available.

Nylon Is Now More
Fully Explained.
More information from a different
source has come to this desk from
the Du Pont Co., creators of the
new fabric nylon. Introduced about
a year ago, but still in the expert
mental stage. nylon has caused
much interest and comment and
its sponsors have sent out more in
formation in response to the many
questions.
Nylon hosiery is expected to ap-
pear on the market late in the spring
or early in the summer of 1910. It
will be sold in almost all retail
stores, and the price should be
about the same as that of any good
quality hose Marked with the name
nylon, and bearing, in addition, the
manufacturers name, these stock
ings will be obtainable in a variety
of weights, colors and sizes. I'M
portant features, of course, include
the high strength elasticity factor
which is said to make runs and
snags less frequent than in ordinary
hosiery, and due to this same elastic
ity, nylon hose are said not to bag
at the knees or otherwise lose their
shape.
Interesting, too, is the fact that
these hose are laundered in the
manner of other delicate stockings,
but are inclined to dry faster due to
the fact that nylon absorbs only a
little water. Thus, in hose of the
same comparable weight, the new
fabric type should dry faster.
All these factors and many others
are included in the report of the
much discussed nylon. In the next
few months there should be even
more discussion about it, for it is
expected that the fabric may enter
the field of mems clothing in the
form of coat Innings, and in access
sories such as automobile upholstery
among others. This, of course, is
due to its remarkable powers of
durability and ease of cleaning, and
further research should find the
fabric adaptable to many more uses.

Answer-They must have in
tended the money for the maid, who
should have been allowed to find 1t
on the bureau when she put the
room in order.
At least I can't imagine that tip
was intended for you! But If you
have no maid and this was the case
it would be simplest to send 1t to
your ex-guests and say it was for
gotten by one of them. On the
other hand, guests do often con-
tribute to the budget of relatives or
very intimate friends, but not in
this leave-a-tip way! When rela-
tives, let us say-especially older
ones-go to stay with younger ones
who have very little money, an uncle
or aunt would 60 to her niece, give
her a "greenback" or two Cor pos
sibly check, and say, Mary, dear,
I want you to take this toward your
market bills this week" 1t might
even be a perfectly natural gesture
for those who 60 to stay often with
intimate friends to contribute in
some way toward what cannot avoid
being a quite burdensome expense
but not by leaving money on the
bureau! They might perhaps arrive
with provisions-particularly un-
usual provisions from specially
market passed on their way. Some
times, too, intimate friends arrange
beforehand that they are to be al
lowed to come as paying guests" +"
This is most usual when the visit
is to be for week or two, or longer.
Dear Mrs. Post: I have been given
individual wooden salad bowls and
large wooden serving bowl to
match. How am I supposed to use
these small bowls?
Answer would have the in
dividual bowls brought to the table
with a china plate under each. The
serving bowl should then be passed
and each person helps himself and
eats salad from his bowl instead of
from a plate.

Dear Mrs. Post: Will you tell me
if it is better to remove the serving
dishes before the dinner plates after
the meal is over, or better the other
way around. I don't suppose there is
any rule, since putting everything on
the table and having no maid is
hardly subject to rule. Just the
same, I'd like to know what you
think would be best.
Answer-On the contrary, there is
definite rule about this. At the
end of every course the plates are
removed first. This is because they
are directly in front of each person
and therefore most conspicuous.
The meat platter Cor main dish) is
taken away next and the vegetable
dishes Cor condiments) last.
