De‘r‘)‘lu Leeds: (1) My hair is biond, ‘but it appears to be getting darker near the scalp, where it becomes olly. How shall T overcome this tend- ency? (2) My skin is dry and scaly after washing with soap and water. What shall I use to keep it smooth and what shade of face powder and_rouge do you advise for my type? (3) I have blue eyes, medium complexian and blond hair turning darker. What colors should I wear? SUSIE H. Hair Getting Darker. Answer—(1) As the years go by blond | hair may tend to grow in darker until it becomes a light brown or ashen blond. It depends upon one’s individual type of hair and hereditary tendencies. The true blond retains these characteristics throughout her life, while other types develop into ashen blonds or sometimes into brunette types. Blond hair should be washed and dried very carefully. Use a reliable liquid shampoo or pure castile soap melted into a liquid. The egg shampoo may be used regularly, as it will leave the hair soft and flufty. For directions for using see my answer above to Rosemary. When excessive oiliness is present, however, it will tend to darken the hair considerably. ~ Between the regular shampoos you may use the following method to remove the excess oil from the hair. Comb and divide the hair into strands and moisten it with cologne water. Leave it on the hair several minutes and then polish each strand with a piece of old silk. Then brush the hair with a clean hairbrush with fairly long bristles that will penetrate through the hair. Give the hair and scalp®a sun bath at regular intervals or an air bath every day. (2) Use a cleansing oll or cream to remove the surface dust and make-up from your face before washing with soap and water. After washing and drying thoroughly apply a little light- weight, oily cold cream and leave it on overnight. This will lubricate the skin during sleep. In the morning remove cream and pat on & mild skin tonic. Use a thin film of cold cream or a milky lotion as a foundation base. Dust with an ivory shade of face powder. Use a medium rose of raspberry shade of rouge. (3) With blue-eyes, blond hair and medium complexion some becoming shade of blue is your best color, as ‘Wedgwood, cadet, turquoise, grackle- head, powder, delft, peacock and blue violet. Other becoming shades are light and dark green, English green, green- brown, bronze, sage, chartreuse, rich deep brown, soft brownish reds, warm tans, Burgundy, pale yellow and golden hues, shell pink, light orchid, cream- white, peach, wistaria and black with touches of bright color. LOIS LEEDS, The Sidewalks Time Out! I got this idea at a foot ball game. Something happened, like a black eye or a broken rib, so the referee held up the game and stopped the watches. ‘The time during which they were fixing the orb or rib did not count. It was thrown out. Why can't we have something like that in the great love game we are playing? Of course, I don’t mean that | we shall stop the clock for repairs, but | still we might have certain timeless moments or zero hours when we talk right out without having it recorded against us. An Edison might invent a | lover's clock which would drop & minute now and then without really losing it. A man and a girl are going together, but they don't keep in step. They can't savvy each other's wishes or motives. They try mind reading, but they aren't expert enough to dope out what's be- hind the other’s brow. Then comes the falling out, which would have been pre- vented if onlv they had “time out.” ‘The man could use this special mo- ment to ask the girl what she would say in case he did propose. She, on the other hand, could take a minute out of the zero hour to ask him about his intentions, which seemed to her to have a matrimonial trend. It would “time out” and nobody hurt. To be able to say just what is in your mind without having this counted against you would be a great boon to all people who wish to live fully and sincerely, Most of us have to pretend we have interest in people when the in- terest is not there or act as though we didn’t care about & man when we really think he's a hero. In this flapper age of the world's history, there is now something like‘the time-out business which I am recom- mending, but we are still far away from 'thpe"m understanding with one an- other. ‘We have learned how to set the clock according to daylight saving time. We could learn how to work the hands on the dial in such a way as to have these time outs ever and anon. In foot ball they use the time out to repair the damage done to the player's head. With our time out, we could prevent injury to the heart. ‘The law allows three days' grace in meeting obligations of one sort or an- other. Why couldn't we have three minutes’ grace in which a girl and a fellow could speak right out and say what they mean? It would be fine for the men, for they can’s take a hint easily. We could teil them just what we think without being thought snooty. Yes, if we only & “time out.” (Copyright, 1929.) of Washington BY THORNTON FISHER. ‘The cop in our American cities has less trouble directing foreign visitors than comes to those abroad, with par- | instead ticular reference to Latin countries.

This may be directly or indirectly traceable to the World War. ‘The Paris policeman is not as impres- sive as the London “bobby” by any means. With his cap tossed over his shoulder and guiding traffic, he does not have the “front” or awe-inspiring appearance that one expects of any cop. The French secreg service, however, is the last word in eficlency, as many miscreants have discovered to their dismay. All Paris railroad stations and French ports are carefully watched by this unseen of the French govern- ment. Undesirables are checked care- fully and often a preventive is applied of a cure, ‘The most comical looking cop we ever saw saunters about a small park in the ruhllc square at Monte Carlo, directly n the rear of the pretentious gambling shrine. He comes as near being dressed like & Christmas tree ornament as any human object in the world. His color- ful uniform is indescribahle.

Their heads are cov- ered with what might be termed “Well- ington” hats. Perhaps a Napoleon chapeau would better describe it.

Italian villas and | Like When, during the American Revolu- tion, the continental currency became practically worthless, Timothy Dexter of Newburyport, Mass.,, invested prac- tically all his capital in it. “Crazy,” said his neighbors, winking and winding wheels at the side of their heads with pointed fingers. ‘Timothy said to himself that if, as he had heard, some hard-headed wealthy Boston patriots were investing in the currency, why shouldn't he? Peace and a firmly established United States Government brought the value of his purchases to par. Timothy closed up his modest leather shop, and em- barked on important enterprises. His speculation had netted him $47,000, and he was, for the time and place, a rich man, His cotemporaries, his successors and his biographers have fixed Dexter defi- nitely as a goofy individual. If goofi- ness consists doing successfully everything that everybody else regards as crazy, then he fits his picture. But nearly all his absurdities produced re- markably fine results. For instance, he is said to have shipped eight shiploads of bed-warming pans to the torrid West Indles, the last place on earth where they might be ex- pected to sell. Timothy's agents got rid of them all—for use as frying pans and d‘lppers for skimming boiling cane sirup. It is recorded that he also sold 21,000 Bibles to the blacks of the same islands who couldn't read them. The selling method consisted in convincing them that they would go to hell if they didn't own one of the “good books.” In those and similar ventures he made large profits. He seems to have proved that it is possible to be success- ful by being crazy. But he went further than that. He demonstrated that a man needs only his own thoughts to make him what he wishes to be. He wanted to be a lord. Had he lived in England he might have obtained a erage, but since he was in the United gehua this was not possible. He found a simple way to surmount all difficul- ties. He styled himself “Lord Timothy When people read detective fiction the ploi's all they desire; they do not care for graceful diction or thoughts that glow like fire.

S. A. Made Himself A Lord and Lived One. BY J. P. GLASS. Dexter.” Before he died he was “Lord Timothy Dexter” to every one. His neighbors, the aristocracy of New- buryport, turned cold shoulders toward him. But, purchasing a fine house in their midst, he proceeded to live as he imagined a lord should live. He main- tained a poet laureate. He rode in state in . He dressed gor- geously. And afternoons and evenings he drank himself drunk. A real lord could have done no more. Mrs. Dexter couldn't keep the pace. She had no imagination. She wouldn’t get a divorce, so again he employed the resources of & collossal mind. He merely ignored the fact that she was in his house. He told visitors, who saw her, “That is only the ghost of my wife that was.” Lord Dexter wrote a book—a very tiny one, but one which collectors have made exceedingly valuable. It lacked punctuation, and this brought criticism He then published another edition, put- ting all the punctuation marks on the last page d advising readers that they could “salt and pepper” as they pleased. Many have considered Lord Timiothy a madman. Was he, perhaps, & whim- sical philosopher laughing at the dull- ness of average humanity?

DIET AND HEALTH BY LULU HUNT PETERS, M. D. Recéntly I told a reader who was fond of eating raw starch that she really was suffering from a form of pica, which is a depraved or perverted appetite for in- edible substances. I said that pica not infrequently showed a mineral defi- clency in the diet. 1 am bringing this up again because I should not have limited the deficiency to minerals, for in reality these de- praved appetites may also be due to a deficlency of other elements, especially | t! the vitamins. In other words, the diet that is deficient in any way may result in a depraved or perverted appetite. ‘The craving for drugs and alcohol is a depraved appetite. How much of that may be due to a deficient diet we don’t know, but certainly the sufferers from such appetites should have their diets looked into. Not long ago “Ex-Tank” wrote that he found tomato juice allay- ing his craving for liquor. Aside from the zest of the stimulating acid taste, tomatoes are very high in vitamins, and they no doubt supplied a need he had o retaee elten vald peoRabiY sk and vegetable juices the same. In the modern insti where they treat and alcohol ad- dicts a nouris] diet, with especial attention to the vif , is part of the treatment. Other effects of deficlent diets, be- sides depraved appetite and lack of ap- petite, include a lowered tissue resist- ance. It is well known that rickets is a disease due to a vitamin D deficiency, and that scurvy is a disease due to & deficiency of vitamin C, and pellagra, a disease due to lack of vitamin B and It will prob- ably be shown that some other obscure diseases are due to lack of either the vitamins or the mineral elements. “Is asthma hereditary? 8" No, is not hereditary, Z.
