setting the fashion experts of this
town to talking, but also is at

of attention when business girl
Margie Ennis appeared in a
tailored suit with predominating
tones of beige and brown
She has a hat to match "a

Shampoo for Beauty
By Patricia Lindsay

length can be pretty well stripped
of excess oil1ness.
For the first month or 80. It
may seem as If the scalp is more
oily than ever. but after two
months a marked improvement
will be noticed. One should ex-
ercise the body well during this
time, too, enough to work up a
good perspiration daily so the
circulation of the blood may be
normalized.
Scalps with eczema or other
rashes must be treated by ply
sician and the victims diet and
state of health checked. Sunshine
has great curing powers and If a
diseased scalp is kept meticu-
lously clean with 4 germicide and
shampooing, it might be cleared
by merely summing it every day.
Part the hair as you sit in the
sun so the healing rays can reach
all the roots.
AS it is very essential that all
soap is rinsed out of the hair one
should use a liquid, bland sham
poo instead of a cake soap. If you
do not want to buy a prepared
/. liquid shampoo, you may shave
a bland, good quality soap and
melt 1t In hot water before using.
And If you are using certain cor
rective preparations on your
scalp, it pays to use the sham
poo of the same brand.
The usual procedure is Cd wet
the hair thoroughly, ca soap 1t
well, 90 give two rinsings, "a
another soaping and scalp mas
sage, 90 two or three clearwater
rinsings. Dry in the sun and
brush well afterward.
With the new short, short hair
cuts gaining popularity all over
the country, it is more important
than ever that your hair should
look crisp and clean and fluffy
to carry out the windblown ef-
feet of the curls. Constant
brushing, and proper shampoo
ing will do much toward making
your crown Of glory" q real one.

Education FuIfiIIinq
Demands Of Critics,
Dr.. Hager Declares
Wilson College Head
Says New Type Now
Being Supplied

What the vigorous critics of
schools and colleges really want is
the kind of education Americans
already have, DR.. Walter E. Hager,
president of Wilson Teachers" Col
lege, declared last night.
Speaking to about 100 students
and their mothers at the Kenesaw
Hotel Apartments, DR.. Hager said
parents have been coming to him
lately asking for "a new type" Of
education. They ask him to ire
turn to the fundamentals Of read
ing, writing and arithmetic" he
said.
Critics are also clamoring, Dr.
Hager' continued, for American
schools to develop appreciation OF
American Government; to develop
character and dependability and to
vitalize curriculum.
Long in Effect.
"These are the very things the
modern educator has been trying to
put into effect for the last 25 years."
DR.. Hager declared
He chose as an example the BAN
ouet held last night for mothers
of students. This, DR.. Hager said,
was arranged entirely by students
of the Women's Club Miss Daphne
Brandt and Miss Muriel Jenkins
acted as chairmen and four student
speakers from each class welcomed
the parents.
This initiative would not have
been shown Is years ago, declared
Or. Hager, before educators began
to develop the democratic spirit,
dependability, character and vitality
that critics today are demanding OF
schools and colleges.
Adviser Speaks.
Another speaker, DR.. Mildred G.
stoler, faculty adviser of the club
and history professor at the college,
asked that parents reassume some
of the responsibility that has been
shifted in recent years to the
church and school.
War conditions, she said, are
causing parents to re-examine the
influence of the home on the char
acter of the young men and women
facing wartime problems.
"I hope the home will once more
assume it's position as the keystone
of the arch" she said.
The four young women who
greeted the parents were Mrs.
Regina Donovan Harrison, Miss
Helen Num-, Miss Emily Thour and
Miss Marguerite Thorne. Miss Rita
Nicholson sang two solos and Miss
Bettey Ann Feissner presented a
short dramatic sketch.

Suez Canal

The SueZ canal is the jugalar vein
linking Britain with the oil7felds of
the East and her oriental posses
sions. Protecting that narrow strip
of water is Egypt, one OF the mys-
teries of World War II.
To understand Egypt's position il
the present war, you must appreci-
ate her relationship with England.
Modern Egypt was part of Tur-
key, became British protectorate
in 1914. This expired in 1922, and
the country was made kingdom.
British influence remained strong.
The Egyptian government justi-
fes its non-belligerency with the
contention that it is living up fully
to its obligations under the Anglo
Egyptian treaty of 1886. This pro-
vides that if Britain enters a war,
Egypt will place at the disposal OF
the British her airports, harbors and
all means of communication. That.
say the Egyptians. has been done.

any difference if you had known
that Mr. Thomas had a glass eye?"
ooh, yes, quite a difference" Dr.
Luong replied. my opinion might

Judge Philip Singer then ruled the
defendant was mot so intoxicated
as to render him unfit to drive,
and dismissed the charge.

Rims in Alaska
Shoru High Culture
Industry, Commerce, Art and
Religion Flourished.

NEW YORR.-On a barren gravel
spit $50 miles above the Arctic
circle highly developed and com
pick civilization came into being be
fore the dawn of history on the an
cient migration route from Asia
10 America
For a few thousand years it
thrived. Then it declined and ulti
mately died, leaving behind o
mystery as deep as that which once
shrouded the pyramids.
Relics of the ancient lost civil
cation, which once made Point
Hope, Alaska a place Of animation
where industry, commerce, art and
religion flourished, were discovered
only two years ago
A full report on what is known
about it became available when DR..
Harry L. Shapiro of the American
Museum of Natural History released
details of discoveries made on the
site during the past summer.
Much as Dr.. Shapiro and his
predecessors discovered about the
Point Hope culture, more remains
to be learned. Science does not yet
know what race laid out the ancient
city now referred to as "Ipiutak."
It only knows that the Ipiutak civil
hzation was more highly developed
than either ancient or modern Es
kimo culture, that the inhabitants
were deeply religious, highly artistic
and skilled in the crafts of daily
living.
In 1899 and 1910 members of al
American museum University or
Alaska expedition located the vast
ruins of the prehistoric town. DR.
Shapiro extended their discoveries
last summer.
He found that Ipiutak-which is
the Eskimo name of small spit of
land near the site-had five long
avenues on which some 600 dwell
ings, since buried, housed about
5000 persons.

Army Patriarch Retires;
Bounces Soldier. a Day

FORT BRAGG, N. C.-Wild Root.
33-year-old army mule, which threw
a soldier day for seven long years
and two the last day she was sad
dled-juSt to show that she was not
weakening-was retired with full
military honors.
There was a formal review.
The orneriest mule that ever stuck
her nose into an army feed box stood
by Lieut. Col William Clarke,
commander of the Fourth Field Ar
tillery battalion; Capt. ]. o. Sea
man and other officers, as the bat
talion-her own-including 687 mules
and III horses swept past in full
pack.
Maj. Gen. Jacob L. Devers recon-
mended the retirement as one of
his last orders before relinquishing
command of Fort Bragg to take
command at Fort Knox, KY, of the
armored forces of the United States
Over the time-hewn back of the
little, dun-colored 'toughy" hung an
army blanket with service stripes
There was little of her famed friski
ness as she took her honors. Ia
fact, there was trace of boredom
In her apathetic eyes, where evil
was wont to dance.

Ok Cart Days to Flying
Era Spawned at Age 95

BIG SPRING, TEXAS. - Mother
Zinn's 95 years have spanned almost
every form of transportation known
to man.
Formally known as Mrs. r. B.
linn, but beloved by hundreds in
this community as Mother linn, I"
the pioneer Texas settler recently
celebrated her ninety fifth birthday
For celebration she took her first
airplane trip. The air was rough
and DR.. p W. Malone, who piloted
her in his airplane, asked if the
weather made her uncomfortable.
i should say not" she said. IT'S
not rougher than lots of country
roads"
AS a small girl, Mother linn"
rode in an OK cart, almost the most
primitive form of transportation
known She came to Big Spring
with her husband in 1883.
Il took my first OK cart ride when
was a girl of &c." she remarked on
her birthday. I'VE made a. trip
from Cass to Pettus counties in 1864
during the Civil war"
After the airplane trip, the Metho-
dist church gave her a reception.
They said a lot of nice things
about me-" she said. "And l was
thrilled. Goodness, / don't feel a
day over So"

Snaky and Buggy,
Too, Is This Job
But She Loves 1t
Woman Has Many Duties
AS Husbands Assistant
At Saguaro Monument.

TUCSON, ARIZ.-She stuffs news
papers under the screen doors to
keep out scorpions; feeds under
nourished ella monsters; operates a
short-wave radio tranSmitter; helps
answer the questions of 1000 visi-
tors on the desert without electricity,
telephone or a bathroom. Most
women wouldn't care for such life
but Mrs. Don w. Egermayer, wife
Of the custodian of Saguar Nation
al monument in Arizona, loves it.
AS Honorary Custodian Without Pay
she shares a husbands duties
and takes over completely when he
is away on inspection trips or fight
ing forest fires.
No Time to Get Lonesome.
1t is no job for woman who Is
afraid to stay alone for several days
and nights at a stretch, or who goes
all a-iutter at the thought of insects
and reptiles The monument, IL
miles east of Tucson, fairly teens
with wild life, and Uncle Sam says
none of it can be harmed. If a
rattlesnake shows up it is captured
and transported elsewhere in the
protected area
The honorary custodian really has
her hands full when her husband is
away. Before leaving he makes
sure that she has plenty of gro
ceries and supplies, which must be
brought from Tucson, and water,
which is hauled Is miles. She doesn't
have time to get lonesome, and tries
not to worry about him. AS for be-
ing afraid at night, she remarks:
Il just take Poky (their chow dog)
and my gun and 60 to bed"
When alone at the little adobe
headquarters she communicates
with forest rangers by radio,
watches for the outbreak Of fires in
the distant hills during lightning
storms, and answers the questions
of steady stream of visitors.
Their Busman's Holiday.
Almost every sightseer asks
where is the monument" They
seem to expect to see a huge stone
structure somewhere in the So, 284
acres of desert land. But in the gov
ernment's book a national monu-
ment is an area set aside for the
preservation of natural wonders and
wild life, in this case fine stand OF
caguaro, or giant cactus.
You'd think they might develop
hobbies apart from their work, but
on Mondays, their day off, you are
apt to find them out taking color
photographs of desert scenes OF
ministering to some wild creature
Mrs. Egermayer once fed eggs to a
gaunt, hungry ella monster until il
was able to get along by itself.
