Seal That Apes Judas

War on marauding sea lions and
their concubines is being waged on
the lower Columbia river, near
Portland. Ore. Commercial fisher
men, last year, lost half of their
late fall catch when the sea lions
robbed the fishermen's gill-nets. A
trained seal will act as a decoy
to bring the sea lions within range
of riiemen. The seal will go out
among the herd of sea lions and at
tract them shoreward where
armed fishermen will crack on all
the lions but the one used as a
decoy. The sea lions work along
the stretch of gill-net eating a
fish here and there and often biting
chunk out of fish, leaving tell
tale marks to the disgust of the fish
erman.

A Gift For Each Soldier

The efforts of this state in
providing a gift for all Della
ware draftees and volunteers
in the army service is a task
worthy of much praise and de-
serving of wholehearted sup
port. Each boy will receive a
gift-but more than that. He
will receive the assurance that
the people back home are root
ing for him, and applauding
the part he is taking in this
countrty's defense.
The four Smyrna people
serving on the Kent County
committee are at this time So
Letting funds with which to
buy these gifts, and for those
own gifts, a receptacle has
been placed in Mannering's
store. Any useful gift, small
or large, will be acceptable.
Cigarettes, tooth paste, razor
blades, shaving cream = all
small gifts for the giver, but
very useful and important to
a boy in an army camp.
This campaign is a generous
and heart-warming gesture.
May the people of Smyrna
show their generosity and CO.
operation to the fullest extent.

Diet Influences
Groying Tresses

q CHEMISTS, forever delving
- into mysteries and dredging
up information to serve the inter-
ests of the world, have, in the past
few years, turned some of their
attention to the matter of gray
hair, formerly the herald of advanc-
ing years. Liver extract, no less, is
being used to correct those terrify-
ing silver strands.
AS a correction for an anemic
condition, DR.. Boris Sokoloff started
using a liquid concentrated form
about six years ago. He relates in
the October issue of Cosmopolitan
his astonishment at finding after a
few months that, along with his
anemia, his gray locks were dimin-
ishing miraculously. He was sure
there was close relationship be-
tween the liver extract and the
miracle but felt that there was no
scientific value in a single personal
experience. However, he continued
drinking the liver bouillon and is
now free of gray hair.
Following up his own discovery
he turned his attention to observa-
tions made by scientists on the topic
which served to underline his own
experience. Laboratory rats, used
for nutrition experiments, grew
gray on a dried-milk diet adminis-
tered to them by DR.. Gorter, a
Dutch scientist. DIR. Gorter assumed
that there was some hair-coloring
essential which was lacking in the
all milk diet.
Two Norwegian chemists con-
firmed his findings by the discovery
that black rats kept on an exclu-
sive fish diet soon turned gray. The
gray rats responded to liver extract
in six weeks by regaining their nat
ural color. Two University of Cali
fornia scientists, DIR. Agnes Morgan
and DR.. Helen Simms have also con-
firmed these findings.
So, all those "prematurely" gray
heads may look forward to day
when a diet of liver extract will
restore their locks to former glory
and set back the clock few years.

Insulated Homes More Comfortable

Insulated Homes More Comfortable
Insulated homes are actually
more comfortable than would seem
warranted by the difference in tenn
peratures caused by the insulation.
The use of insulating board lowers
the surface temperature of the walls
in summer and thus increases the
comfort, because the cooler the
walls, the cooler one feels. In win
ter, the phenomenon is reversed.
The walls are warmer and conse-
quently help to increase the sensa.
tion of warmness.

Zoologist Uses 'Hoppers'

MANHATTAN. KAN.-Grasshop-
pers are just a plague and a nui-
sance to most people, but to DR.. R.
X. Nabours, head of the zoology de-
partment at Kansas State college,
they are a definite boon.
DR.. Nabours goes in search of new
specimens nearly every year. and so
far he has collected more than 600,-
900, which he has used in his studies
on heredity.
Most biologists use fruit flies for
heredity studies. DR.. Nabours says.
but he prefers small grasshoppers,
which multiply almost as fast as the
fruit fly.
DR.. Nabours is working on the
problem of changing the hereditary
characteristics of animals.

Ten Men and the

THERE'S no getting around it
1 eating's fun, or it should be. If
it is not, there's always a reason.
Perhaps the company is uncon-
genial, the menu uninspired or the
food poorly cooked. l decided to
interview ten men about this, each
one separately. They all agreed
that enjoying good food is grand
way to get more out of life-unless
the meal leaves that over stuffed
feeling, ''the way one feels after

At this all of the ten became shock.

So l asked each man to plan a
menu that would appeal to him.
The majority wanted oysters
first, next a thick soup. Il didn't
approve of this, but they were
adamant, so that's that). With the
turkey they wanted sausage or
chestnut stuffing and gravy, mashed
potatoes Ito put the gravy on,) and
boiled onions; for trimmings, cram
berry sauce and celery, and no pie
for dessert! No pie? l was startled.
But they said, Lets have pumpkin
pie for supper when we have room
left to enjoy it and let's have the
salad then, too." "But what do you
want for dessert?" / asked. What
do you suppose they wanted d?-fruit

Mrs. Johnson's proclamation
COPIES of which were sent 10
branches of the league in more
than 40 states, reads as follows:
Whereas the Negro beautlclans
of America have banded together
for protection, cooperation ana
unity, under the banner OF the Ma

ed of the 48 states of the union,
whereas the thousands OF reg

". serving a multitude of custom
ers, and.
whereas the National Beauty
Culturists' league at its 2lSt annual
convention endorsed plans for
national home, feeling that after Il
wears, the Negro beauticians should
build stronger for the future
knowing that with God, all things
are possible,
therefore be it resolved that l,
Cordelia Green Johnson, president
of the National Beauty Culturlsts
league do proclaim that the period
beginning August IL and extend
ing to Aug. Is has been set aside
for the 22nd annual convention OF

league.
Let us meet never forgetting
the glorious privileges we enjoy In

The proclamation was signed by
Mrs. johnson.
A full program will greet the
more than 1000 beauticians who
are expected to respond to the
proclamation. The sessions are tC
be held in the auditorium OF the
Butler Street YMCA.
A lengthy schedule OF social al
fairs has been made by the local
committee to relieve any monotony
of those delegates who might tire
of the business sessions.

lower waistlines, plunging neck
lines, and dolman sleeves. These
are the trends which to look to be
sure that your new dress has new
look
Two-piece dresses, which are so
satisfactory for all-round wear be-
comes as slim, long wasted jack
cts over slender pleated skirts; as
adaptations of the bloused Russian
tunic, or as apron tunics that look
like a dress from the back, like a
suit from the front.
There are endless variations OF
the accessory them to give the new
browns cool, yet forward appear
ance. Matching hat, gloves, bag and
shoes are, of course, always in per-
feet taste. But lighter tones, also
have considerable appeal.
Pale blue is one of the favored
accessory shades for hats, trim and
small, matching Slipon gloves, and
bags. Chamois yellow, in a brimm-
ed felt hat and gloves, goes beau
tifully with dark brown or bronze
as does bright shade of rose. For
the lighter costume shades, deep
brown is nice choice for accesSo-
rieS for a rich effect.
