If you've been 8 foolish girl and abused your hair as so many others have at the seashore this summer, then you are probably bemoaning the fact now that you neglected to wear a bandana while sunbathing, and exposed your salt-water-wetted head to the sizzling sun.
 Regrets won't help, ladies, but action will. You can help bring back the natural luster to your hair, says stage and screen star Martha Scott, with twice-daily scalp mas sage.
 use the fieshy part of your finger tips in a firm rotating mo- tion, until your scalp fairly tim gles," she explains. And, incidental ly, if you are fortunate enough to have a healthy head of hair, this routine will help keep 1t so.
 Be certain to brush out all the scaley particles that have been loosened by the massage before shampooing your hair. There is one liquid soapless shampoo on the market which has a hair condi- tioner added, or you may find that a bit of heated mineral oil or castor oil rubbed in the scalp an hour be- fore the shampoo will hasten the business of bringing your hair back to normal.

Washington. Sept. il Our "feathered friends" in 1914 may be human. The Department of Agri- culture is experimenting with fab rics using feathers. They make rayon and cotton warmer, and add . soft, woolly texture.
 So far there hasn't been found a way to make the fabrics dur able because the texture wears of. In time, eXperimenters hope to make use of part of the huge national feather surplus this way. Poultry flocks furnish about 100,- 100000 pounds of feathers an- nually. This has always been great national waste, only about 15,- 100000 pounds having been used.
 Part of this surplus is going for special military duties. Feathers effect c particularly furtive type of camoufage. They are also dis solved and made into a protein plastic thread for sewing up wounds.
 New feathers have been frozen out of civilian hands for about two years. However, they are substituting for bristles in shaw ing brushes, and long thin ones are being sold as substitutes for pipe cleaners.

Paper in general Is being thinned out for social correspondence in order to keep up the supply of tablets for school children, facial tissues for women, and business stationery. Thinner paper for stationery, notebooks and paper towels will make more units of each avail able.
 Prices will be adjusted for the new paper specifications. It may be that the price per pound of paper will have to go up because the cost of producing pound of paper Is more when 1t contains more sheets. The price per sheet of paper will not go up; 1t may even decrease slightly.

 ON BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
 Amerlca'a Card Authority

I watched Howard Schenken play a few hands of rubber bridge re- gently and was pleased to observe that he has lost none of his cun- ming. He held the South cards in today's hand, and you will see that he had a probable loser in spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs. one of those losers had to be eliminated if the four-heart contract was to be made.
 Schenken won the first trick with the king of diamonds, and now he did not make the mistake of lead- ing the queen of hearts to take Q finesse. He played a small heart and immediately went up with dummy's ace. He led the queen of clubs and took the flnesse, West winning with the king. West returned the ten of diamonds, Schenken won and cashed the ace and jack of clubs, discarding the losing diamond from dummy. The small diamond was then ruffed and a spade and Q heart conceded to the opponents.

down from Scotland to visit their camp. The official reason was new airplane to be christened Lady Moyra," but even more they wanted to get acquainted with their little girl and give her a good time.
 Although she's only 4, she knows about the war. When the siren blows, she goes up the wee path to the shelter"
 Her father was a painter and at night member of the Auxiliary Fire Service. His headquarters, a school in another part of Glasgow, was demolished by @ Jerry bomb, one night last year. Nothing was found of the volunteers.
 On the very next night as Moyra and her mother huddled in their shelter, their home was also de- stroyed.
 They went to live with Moyra s grandparents in a nearby town They are safe and adequately cared for, but there's no item in their budget for incidentals, much less for little girls fun.
 That's why Moyra's day in camp was a day to remember. Her first and favorite present was a pick aninny doll. which she solemniy named Betty Lou. She cultivated a taste for ice cream and ate enough to make up for all the sweet rationed war years. Her first sight of a jeep puzzled her, but not for long.
 "Its a vurra big pram," she re- marked, land nobody pushes"
 In the afternoons ceremonies she carried out her part as smoothly as if she were a born daughter of the regiment" The tiny bottle oi real champagne crashed against the wheel of the plane with sturdy whack as Moyra christened hel namesake. Then, with pilots wings pinned to her little Scotch packet she stood at attention in palm. out British salute as the whole squadron passed in review.
 Back in Scotland, Moyra ant Betty Lou went gathering heather enough for every man in the squadron.

London.-There's a new pin-up girl in the barracks of a USAAF squadron stationed somewhere in England" She's a bonnie Scotch lass with blond hair, blue eyes and lovely legs showing below her brief kilt. Her photo, autographed With love from Moyra," has relegated pictures of American sirens to the background.
 But Moyra is more than just a photograph to the boys in the squadron. They know her person. ally and have even named one of their ships for her. You see, Moyra is a war orphan and she's only 4 years old.
 She is one of about 200 orphaned children who know why America is personifed by an uncle. Through the Stars and Stripes War Orphan Fund, originated in the last war, these kids all have lots of uncles who have contributed pennies and shillings and pounds to supple ment government pensions to buy jam for their bread and butter.
 Groups of men get together and collect hundred pounds and send the money to the American Red Cross, which also has the names of war orphans. The men always take a personal interest in their orphan, specifying color of hair and eyes, age, and often disposition. The Red Cross sends them a photo graph of the child and story of his background, but the boys seldom let 1t go at that. Their interest is too personal to be satisfied by pho- tograph, so they shell out again for travelling expenses and presens, and David or Betty, or Joe. or Moyra comes to a party at camp.

WARTIME HEALTH COLUMN -- Vitamins Best Obtained In a Balanced And Adequate Diet

amins must be taken in from the outside either partially or complete ly formed. They are extremely acc tive, as evidenced by the fact that such small quantities are necessary.
 Tn the beginning. vitamins were recognized by the fact that their lack was followed by certain de- ficiency diseases. Beriberi, scurvy. and rickets are typical examples of a deficient intake of vitamins B, c, and D respectively. The next step was the assumption that these diseases did not come to full flower abruptly, but that borderline defic- iencies in the vitamin intake could cause marginal i'll health or impair ed efficiency not yet susceptible to diagnosis.
 On the theory that all is not known about vitamins, that some good might be obtained and that no harm could be the result, these substances have reached their pre- sent outstanding commercial i'm. p0rtance.
 FOODS BEST SOURCE
 On the same basis that all Is not known about vItamlns, 1t is better argued that their ideal source is tn the foods that make q balanced diet 4 great deal Of study is nov being devoted 10 the development Of means Of accurately meaEurlng vitamin deficiency.
