The rocess is, of course, different when loss of hair is due to disease. In this case, when the hairs grow in again they are of the same thickness as before. ‘When the dandruff is dry and abun- dant a hot oil treatment should taken before the shampoo and a little oily salve rubbed into the scalp every day or so. Castor oil may be used for this purpose or a mixture of one-half dram of precipitated sulphur and one ounce rose ointment. A good shampoo preparation for this condition is liquid tincture of green soap with a little Rus- sian mineral oil added in the proportion of three parts oil and 100 parts soap. Most cases of dandruff will yield to regular treatments in a rather short time, but the condition tends to recur. The treatments that are described above should be taken weekly from three to six months at least, and thereafter they may be taken at longer intervals, say, twice monthly. It is very important to avoid reinfection from combs, brushes, hairpins, hatbands that have not been throughly cleansed. = These objects should be washed and disinfected when- ever the hair is shampoed, so that they, as well as the hair, may be clean. Besides applying salves or astringents to the scalp and keeping it clean, do not forget to massage it well whenever these applications are made. The hair must also be brushed daily, not only to keep it glossy, but also to exercise the tiny muscles in the scalp. The scalp should be loose and not tightly ad- hering to the skull; it should move freely when massaged. (Copyright, Dandruff and Falling Hair, ‘The commonest cause of loss of hair is the neglect of dandruff. The scaln is not kept scrupulously clean, but is allowed to accumulate quantities of flaky scales which collect germs and choke the pores. In cases like this the dan- druff should be loosened or brushed out once a week and the hair shampooed thoroughly. Careful drying of the hair d D PAINT WITH THE LIQUID SOA® after washing is very important. Many cases of baldness in men have been at- tributed to wetting the hair dally with- out drying it afterward. After the greasy dandruff has been removed the scalp should be painted with a liquid castile soap or green soap, and then shampooed. Before the scalp is quite dry a scalp tonic may be rubbed in. Solutions containing at least 50 per cent of alcohol are usually better for correcting oily “dandruff than water solutions. An added advantage in favor more of the former is that they dry more quickly. If their effect on the scales proves too drying, however, MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE MERRICK. "10290.)

On Hanging the Kaiser. (Copyright, 1029, Associated Press) ‘Talk of hanging the Kalser was bel bandied about pretty freely at the time the armistice was forged in the white heat of bitter hatreds. A certain num- ber of people were bent on using the “all highest” pretty roughly; likewise the German crown prince. ‘Well, these advocates of the hempen Tope didn’t know it, but the Kaiser could have been disposed of long before with- out going to all the trolible of erecting a scaffold. There were many occasions during the war on which the Emperor and his eldest son, and the entire German high command, for that matter, could have been blown to atoms had the allies de- sired to take advantage of the oppor- tunity, But the latter never had any idea of doing such a thing. Thereby hangs a tale, told out of school, which may surprise some people. So far as the Kaiser himself was |. concerned, there was nothing startling in the fact that nobody tried to blow him up during his rambles about the occupled territory. The allles weren't barbarians. All attacks on non-com- batants were atrocities which made right-minded people shudder with hor- ror. And most folk are right-minded, when all is said and done. Beyond this, there ‘were some rea- sons which perhaps were not so hu- manitarian. ‘The killing of a non-cos batant personage would have raised a storm of protest against the country which perpetrated the deed, and the various nations in the conflict had to be careful not to provide material for adverse propaganda.

The main idea of war, as interpreted by the chap who had to use a bayonet in the late quar-’ rel, is to kill and destroy. There can be, and were, certain limits put on this, however, Buck privates were made to be killed. So were minor officers. But don’t forget that the offi- clal homes of supreme commands were immune. I hasten to add that I am not casting any reflection on the brav- ery of men at headquarters. On the contrary, many of them were veteran soldiers who had won bloody conflict. By mutual, tacit consent, the bomb- s and gunners of both sides left head- quarters alone, I could give: you plenty of examples to illustrate my statement, but perhaps one typical instance will do.

Here is the ai swer, and I give it to you in the lan- guage of an ex-officer in the German air force, a man whom I know well and whose word is unimpeachable.
