A SHORT time a 6 o when
"A there was a great deal OF

Mississippi River and a line
across southern Mississippi,
Alabama and Georgia-so you

in which climatic conditions
vary greatly.

Some of these may be used

Keep Hair Lovely

Daily brushing along with
good ShampooS and fabrication
Will keep hair beautiful.
The very short shingled hair
is too harsh and formal for ma
ture women. Those advancing in
years need a soft halo OF hair
about their face. The clipped
back and neckline detract much
from the soft feminine charm
their hair offers. Even though
it means much care, gray hair
should be kept in good order at
all times,

Stained Bath Tubs

IF YOU get rust or yellow
stains on your bath tub or
sinks, especially from dripping
water. try rubbing with pulver-
lied chalk mixed with ammonia.
Rub the spot with this mixture
and leave on all night. In the
morning rub off. Generally, the
spot will have disappeared. If
not, a second application will do
the work.
Detroit evening times., 1945-01-28
Careful Grooming

Those who accept the change
and do nothing 10 change the
color can make their gray hair
lovely. This delicate tint, how
ever, TO be attractive, needs
even more grooming than nat
ural tones.
2 The we'll croomed gray hair
is never casual. We think OF it
as a coiffure rather than just
a hair dress. There should be no
stray ends, no dullness nor dis
coloration. II must be smooth,
sparkling. soft and free from
yellow rust spots which come
from too much heat.

Movable Tables

SPACE CAN be saved in a
small kitchen by keeping the
kitchen table under the sink
when not in use. If the kitchen
table is too high 10 fit under the
sink, cut a few inches off the
bottom of each leg.
To push the table easily I'M
der the sink fasten a swivel

guage is spoken there. Environment does not
mean only the surroundings within the family
circle, A general social environment also has its
effect. Not the same effect on all people, OF
course Here is where the personal equation
comes in again. Not all members of aristocratic

Of red corpuscles alive in their blue blood In
the same way, not all children who grow I'D in

are all those brought up in immigrant homes
where tradition pulls one way and street life
another. Only very small percentage of these
children ever goes wrong.
Yet when. as grewn.ups. they do go wrong
and get their names in the paper the whole
group they represent is stamped with the
scarlet letter of shame. How many readers are
there who do not. at once. identity the origin
of culprit by his name or mention of his

group?
Where member of the majority group is
concerned, that connection Is not drawn. Does
the fact that murderer was born in Boston re-
fleet badly on every BoStonian? Does the three

on the integrity OF all three-century Americans?
