80 per cent fail within their
first three years. Once q firm
gets past the five-year mark.
the chances that Il will survive
q long time are excellent.
In what financial classifica-
ton do you find the greatest
concentration Of business
failures7
In the $4,000 10 S25, 900 group;
40 per cent Of the firms going
under have liabilities In this
range. The next largest con-
centration Is In the SIS, 900 TO
100000 group: another 20 per
cent Of the failures have la
bilities In this range. Among
very small and really big busi-
nesses failures are minor. Only
0.3 per cent Of the companies
which went bankrpt In 1857
had liabilities Of over 81 mil
lion.
In what parts OF the country
have failures climbed most
sharply in the past Is months?
In the West South Central
and East South Central regions
areas badly hit by winds and
floods in 1857. The failure
rate recently In the East and
West North Central states also
has been considerably above
the national average.
What were the causes under
lying the failures Of 1879
businesses last year? About
so per cent can be traced TO
lack Of experience in the line,
lack Of managerial experience
or unbalanced experience.
An additional Ala per cent
Of the bankruptcies can be
traced to incompetence.
The apparent causes" may
have been inadequate sales,
heavy operating expenses. COM
petitive weakness, poor location.
etc.-But the real causes Of the
bankruptcies were lack Of ex-
perience and incompetence.

BEAUTY ROUNDUP
Hair Care Important
During Summertime

During the last decade doc
tors and dermatologists have
been successful in alerting
the summer vacationing FAM
lily to the health and beauty
hazards which may result
from over-exposure Of the
skin to the sun. Too often,
however, the hair and scalp
are neglected during vacation
time and left unprotected
against the less benevolent
rays Of Old Sol.
But, according to world ia
nous hair-care authority and
stylist Michael Of the Wal
dorf, to guard against holiday
hair problems you need only
follow q simple resort-Side
routine:
/. Always rinse sea salt or
chlorinated swimming pool
water right out Of your hair
right after your swim.
2. Never dry your locks by
hard towelling. While damp
the hair is much less elastic
and easily breaks. splits and
knots. Gently pat and brush
Evening star., 1958-07-13

your hair dry in the warm
sunshine, and wear a sun hat
while on the beach.
3. Before exposing your
hair to the sun gently finger
tip massage a fine hair cream
into the scalp and hair, thus
protecting the hair against
sunburn. This light, non-
greasy and fragrant hair
dressing also penetrates to
the scalp to help replenish the
natural hair oils that the sun
dries out and swimming
washes away.
4. Never expose dyed or
color tinted hair to the
bleaching and discoloring rays
of the sun without protecting
it with a film of pomade.
Hair and scalp care against
sun m sea is just as impor-
tant to protect the balding
head of the family and safe
guard the fluffy thatched
junior members as it is to
guarantee glamour for the
peachiest of beach beauties.

For instance. Q tight scalp

OF the thinning hairline.
There are splendid tonics for

should be used regularly.
