WOMAN'’S PAGE. MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Softening Stiff Hair. Dear Miss Leeds: Please tell me how to soften coarse, bristly hair. Mrs. D. D. D Answer—If your hair is dry as well as coarse, give it a hot ofl treatment before your shampoo. Use a liquid soap for the shampoo, lather well, rinse very thoroughly and then give a final rinse in two quarts of water to which half a cupful of vinegar has been added. If your hair is ofly, you may omit the oil treatment. Be sure to massage the scalp well every day and brush the hair. LOIS LEEDS. A Swaying Gait. Dear Miss Leeds: What makes my hips sway when I walk? I am 17 years old, 5 feet 3 inches tall and weigh 122 pounds. My hip measure is 35 inches. Is this too large? AGGIE. Answer—Your weight and hip meas- he swaying may be/ due to 3 ing high heels and to a lack of elasticity in your tread.

You may wear bright reds, greens, dark brown, ecru, deep yellow, bronze green. You will probably be troubled with pimples until you out of the teen age.

Dear Miss Leeds: (1) My complexion DIET AND BY LULU HUNT Answers to Correspondents. G., by following my instructions, has | reduced so that she is down to normal. She wants to know how many calories she can have daily to maintain her | weight. 1 The maintenance number of calories, G., @epends upon your height, frame and amount of physical activities. In general, we count about 12—15 calories per pound of normal weight for the per- son of average activities. But you will have to determine this for yourself. Count your calories for a while and average them every week. If you have gained a little, then your number is a | little too high. If you keep on reduc- ! ing, you're a little too low. If you find you have gained two or three pounds, you can take that off one day, usually, by going on a liquid or semi-] diet. In fact, one liquid diet day a week is a good plan for those who have a tendency to gain. Another | good plan is to have a very light break- | fast, not over 200 calories, a medium | sized lunch, about 500 calories, and then sothing for supper but two glasses -of kim milk (160 C.).or fruit juice (200 , and nothing after that. | Belts for Constipation. No, Miss K., I do not believe in those | lectric belts as a cure for anything. Ordinary constipation is easily cured | [ in | for poor gain weight in order to fatten your arms. Joe Girl—You should try to gain about five pounds. Your measurements from the thigh down are good, but you are a little thin above. Yes, I think a | boy bob would suit you if your features small and dainty. You may wear the same colers suggested to above. I think you have a naturally dark skin, so that nothing can make you rosy and fair. Perhaps, too, you are a little tanned and that makes you seem sallow. Besides being careful about daily washing and exercise, watch your diet. Every day eat a large helping of salad, two kinds of succulent vegetables likz tomatoes, string beans or squash, and eat some raw fruit. Drink milk and no tea or coffee. Eat plenty of whole-wheat bread and but- ter. Drink six glassfuls of water dally between meals. Avoid constipation. HEALTH PETERS, M. D. by correct diet and exercises. Some- times the physician who specializes in physiotherapy may use electrotherapy in severe cases, but these belts would not give the right treatment. I doubt that they will give any relief except | through the power of suggestion. Pufly Ankles. “I have been troubled with puffy ankles for two years or more. I have seen a ician about this and have had a thorough examination. He as- sures me that my heart and kidneys are in good condition, and that this condition is due to poor posture, as I am healthy in every other wa The condition is worse in warm ather and it is getting on my nerves. “G.” You should correct your posture, G., may bring along a train of sther disorders. Did the doc- tor examine your feet and are they normal, with no degree of fallen arches? Are you wearing any constricting garters? Sometimes there is an edeme or come even through the stockings in the Summer. If this were the case, you might have to wear high shoes or heav- fer hose or some anklets. I'm glad you realize that the swelling may be due to trouble of the heart or by a physical examination. WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO BY MEHRAN K. THOMSON.

There isn't a bivalve in the world that can compare with the human heart for power. You and I may not know any too much about the anatomy of this organ, but we are certain that there is a heart of hearts deep down in the human breast. Now that's where true love is located, and it's in the right place. Dear me! What a mess of little loves and fancies we pick up and store away and how imporiant a temporary crush may seem, but in the heart of hearts |one feels that these little thrills which |may come from a date or a dance haven't any kick in them: that is, for | the heart of hearts. | When you compare the sexes, which so resemble each other these days, you nd that the mysterious heart of hearts usually located in the feminine t, for it is woman who has the capacity for such singular aflection. Man appears to have oodles of love just as he has oodles of money, but his love is often so much small change which does not compare with the little gold coin of affection which woman carries in Her heart es in a purse.

SUMMERTIME BY D, C. PEATTIE. August is the end of family cares for all our birds. Even the second broods are fledged, and now, in the month that to the flower lover means mints at their most glorious, wild foxgloves in the woods and daisies trooping across meadows slanting down to cool creeks, the bird world goes into its retreat. Just where it goes is hard to say, for most birds have not yet left for the South. They are here, could we but see them, hidden away. One reason for this may be the molting period. There are no birds that do not molt. It is a necessity imposed upon them, and now they must put off their wed- ding dress and go into the soberer dress of the world of workaday. But the true bird life of August will be found by those who search the marshes. There the swallows come in little bands, growing in numbers, to make their roosts in the reeds, and red-winged blackbirds, too, and bobo- links consort there before their depar- ture in ravening bands that will de- scend upon the rice fields of the Gulf Coast. The Baltimore oriole, for one, dis- appears so completely in August that it would seem he had left by the first of August. And yet in 20 days or so he reappears, clad in new plumage and nearly in full song. He goes in his good time (lucky fellow!) to tropic places, and though August seems tropic enough to us who stay here, we shall all envy him, I doubt not, next De- cember. ood News or was/zz'ng HINGTON, D. €., THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 1928. Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. August 16, 1881.—Al the White Housé today the gloom of last night was in a measure dispelled by reports | that President Garfield's condition was slightly better. During the night the city was filled with rumors that the President was dying from the effects of the assassin's bullet. Although these rumors were exaggerated, the truth was serfous enough, and those best ac- |quainted with the case were truly alarmed. The bulletin issued by the physicians at 7 o'clock last night showed increased temperature and more rapid pulse and respiration, with vomiting and general restlessness. “There is no disguising the fact,” said Private Secretary Brown when he gave out this bulletin, “that this is very unsatisfactory.” But this morning Mr. Brown was constantly more reassuring in his re- marks to those who called. During the | forenoon the members of the Cabinet | | called. Attorney General McVeagh was |not “at all hopeful, but all the others seemed more sanguine. It.is still hoped that the President can be sustained by Injections of food until his stomach | is strengthened. About 10:30 o'clock this morping Pri- vate Secretary Brown came from the surgeon’s room and reported that the President was then sleeping. No mor- phia had been injected, and there has been no report of nausea since 3 a.m. Secretary Brown said that when the wound was dressed this morning it was found to be in a healthy condition. It is not expected that Vice President Arthur will come to the city today. He is being kept advised hourly by tele- graph of the President’s condition. It could not be learned officially today whether the Vice President has been telegraphed for, but it is held to be not absolutely necessary that he be here, even in case of the worst, as he can just as well take the oath of the presidential office in New York City as in Washington, The announcement that President | Garfield has been a dyspeptic for many years came as a surprise to those who have known him only as he appeared | in public. This accounts for his rare appearance at evening entertainments, when rich viands are usually served. During the excitement of the recent political campaign, Secretary Brown says, the President suffered greatly from this malady, which he contracted |in the Army during the war. Doctors at leading hospitals in Eng- land are investigating a new treatment for varicose veins which renders a sur- gical operation unnecessary. FEATURES EVERYDAY PSYCHOLOGY BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS.

Text: “Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the | synagogues and in the streets, that they | may have the glory of men. vi2. an actor—a stage player. There is a good deal of stage playing in religion, or what we might call theatrical re- ligion. An actor is not what he ap- pears to be on the stage. He is simply playing a role. And in religious circles there are many who play the role of a saint without an element of saintliness in their character. It is this theatrical religion the text condemns—a religion which manifests itself only in religious pretensions, reli- glous regalia and religious ceremontes. Back of such religion there is no heart and soul, no vital conviction, and no genuine sincerity. Its performances are all theatrical, engaged in merely to win the admiration and praise of men. The man who is merely stage acting in religion will cease playing the part when there is no audience to applaud. Forbid him to sound a trumpet before him when he is about to give to the poor, and he will cease to give. Forbid him 'to pray where he will be seen and heard of men and he will cease to pray. Forbid him to magnify himself in his religious work and he will cease to be a religious worker, All true men abhor this playing-to- the-stage kind of religion. God repu- diates and condemns it. “God is a spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and truth.” True religion springs from spiritual insight and conviction, and manifests itself in moral purity, faithfulness to duty and unselfish service to God and men, The world’s greatest need is such religion.

The automobile exercises the human sensory and motor mechanisms about as completely as anything can. The eye, ear, touch and balance senses operate simultaneously with a large | group of body muscles. They must be timed as accurately as the ignition sys- | tem of the machine. Such a complexity of human adjust- ment naturally give the operator a new sanse of control over his surroundings. A slight pressure with the toe on the accelerator annihilates distance. An- cther easy muscle combination brings the machine to a complete stop. The driver soon feels he is master of all he sur This feeling grows as the human ad- jusiments are habituated by experience, The personality is maximized. The next cp is recklessness—the child of an in- flated ego. The result is what we call accident. (Copyright. . Hawaiian Pie.
