4. Draw in the abdomen, pulling

6. Pull the chin downward toward

7. Flatten the hollow of the back

8. Separate the shoulders from the

to pay monthly to own it in seven
or eight years?
If you've been paying $85 month
for a city apartment for Is years
you've paid away SIS, ZOO for nothing.
That is, nothing permanent. That
sum would buy you an enchanting
farm OF perhaps hundred acres;
have seen delightful old places,
with old brick houses on them,
and streams, and elms, and fruit
and view and woodland for one-haH
of that sum.
Age Brings Different Interests.
OF course you weren't interested
when the children were small, and
schools and dancing lessons and den
fist and shops and doctor were all
important, and had to be within i'm
mediate reach.
But it's different now. Now you
want to think of the quieter years,
of puttering in the garden, of read
ing by an open fire, of having the
few old friends you really love down
for real hospitality and sending
them home with arms full of lilac
and jars of strawberry preserve and
huckleberry branches.
Now you want to think of the
grandchildren, or the grandnieces
and nephews, who are very stiff I'M
communicative little persons in the
slttlngroom of town apartment, but
who will come rioting out to you
gladly for the happiest holidays their
small childhood will know if you give
them a chance.
The places you look at, by the
way, will be picturesque outside and
ruins within. You'll have to re-
model by degrees; a bathroom this
year; brick terrace next; electric
light whenever the company runs a
line out that way. But all that is
part of the fun, and if you buy a
place with a real crop on it, and a
tenant farmer, your taxes will be
paid from the beginning.
A Real Home.
And when you've finished you
have a home, place whose windows
and stairways reflect yourselves,
your likes and fancies; place
where a superbly scornful cat sleeps
on a f1reside bench, and big dog
draws himself up to welcome you
when you come in. A place in
whose garden you have perspired
and painted and all but broken your
back in the spring sunshine, and un-
der whose oaks you've had many
a summer supper. A place whose
sunrises and sunsets, whose glori-
Gus winter storms and spring bios
SONS belong all to you.
ALI small children ought to live in
such a place, and all aging folk.
The cities, the excitement and pres
sure and strain, the shops and
movies and taxis and beauty par
lors, the competition and struggle,
these belong between the ages of
fifteen to forty; they are good, and
they belong to our normal American
life.
But they aren't the best of it. The
best of it is to reach the age when
you may pause to discover a hun
dred likes and hobbies for your
self; discover that you Like outdoor
cooking; that you like to dress in
peasant dirndls or old Chinese cot
tons; that you like raising ducks;
that you feel gloriously young after
an hours woodchopping, or helping
in the hay field.
Incidentally, the chief discovery
you may make is the companion,
the enthusiastic partner and admir-
er and assistant you have in the old
man.

What's to Be Done
About Dandruff?

pERHAPS you have been reading
about various cures for dandruff
or have tried some without obtain
ing cure. That dandruff is a fore
runner or cause of loss of hair is
not true, according to many research
workers.
The federal trade commission of
the United States, after an investiga-
ton of dandruff, states that there is
no proof that dandruff is due to any
infection. In Public Health Reports,
Washington, D. c., Dr. c. w. En-
mons states that while a small
yeastlike organism is always pres
ent In the dry or greasy scales of
dandruff.
This little organism is known as
the "bottle bacillus" and many in
vestigators have tried in vain to
cause it to grow as other tiny or
ganisms are made to grow. Even
those research workers who have
been successful in growing this or
ganism admit that they have not
been able to cause dandruff in any
scalps by incubation with it.
Instead of trying to infect nor
NAL scalp and thus perhaps cause
dandruff, it was decided to inocu-
late an individual who already had
dandruf and to measure whether
this incubation caused any increase
in the time required to develop dam
druff in places where dandruff was
extensive as compared with places
in which dandruff was absent or
scant. The dandruff did not appear
any sooner in the inoculated spots
than in the other spots.
This proves, that, with our pres
ent knowledge at least, dandruff is
not likely due to the organism that
hitherto has been blamed for it.
The above information does not
mean that something should not be
done about dandruff. Until the cause
is found, the frequent use of soap
and water on the scalp, or the use
of various proprietary preparations
should be continued. The cleansing
and rubbing of the scalp in itself is
helpful in that it not only loosens
and removes scales but stimulates
the circulation of the blood in the
scalp.

G.C.A. Points Need
For Firearm
instruction

GOA President Abe Chasanow
announced this week that if GER
tain basic equipment can be oh,
tained for the purpose, a special
course of instruction in the safe
handling of firearms will be pre-
sented in the near future by
committee of the Citizens Associa-
ton composed of members of the
Greenbelt Gun Club who have
agreed to cooperate in this worthy
project. The club has long rec
ognized the need of organizing a
junior group of target shooters
here for the purpose of starting
our younger citizens out "on the
right foot" in handling firearms,
and only recently revamped its
rules so as to include boys and
girls of IL years and older On its
membership rolls.
The GOA training course will
probably be presented on a fort
nightly basis during the coming
winter months in some pre-ar-
ranged public meeting place in
Greenbelt. 1t is likely that ac-
tual range shooting will follow
the primary instructions.
The following information re-
Gently released by a national or
ganization points out admirably
the need for such a program as
the GOA committee hopes to put
across in our community. 1t ap-
peared in the October issue of

ers' magazine.
According to the National
Safety Council, a little over one,
third of the 100000 accidental
deaths occurring in the United
States last year were caused by
motor vehicles. Falls of various
kinds caused 25 per cent of these
