BEAUTY HINTS
Air Baths for Hair
It is more difficult to keep the hair
in good condition in the summer than
during the winter. In the warmer
months of the year there is more dust
In the air. Women spend a large per
centage of their time in the open air
where there are winds and hot rays
from the sun to test the quality of
its color and fiber.
But if it is a greater task to keep
the hair in condition during the sum
mer, it is also possible to improve its
texture and strengthen it then. Clean
liness Is the first essential to the
growth of luxuriant hair. Hair, like
the body from which it springs,
thrives on fresh air. It is a fine thing
to shampoo the head and then permit
the hair to dry naturally in the pure
air to be found only outdoors or in
front of an open window. The air
has cleaning qualities that are all its
own. They invigorate and promote
the health, which makes it beautiful.
Women motor more in the summer
than any other season. Limousines
are deserted for topless road cars.
Tennis, golf and other games keep worn
en out of doors. In each instance the
hair is under a greater test than in
the drawing room. The necessity for
shampooing becomes more frequent if
the scalp is to be kept free from harm
ful accumulations that retard growth
and reduce strength. The hair de
rives its nourishment from the scalp
and each washing removes a certain
amount of nutriment. With the oily
substances removed, it is difficult to
arrange a graceful coiffure. When
the natural oIIb are limited in quan
tity, it often becomes necessary to
apply something of this sort when the
head is shampooed at frequent inter
vals.
The hair should be give# ample pro
tection in the summer. Veils of light
texture are available and not only
keep the hair neat, but also give it
protection from dust, winds and the
sun's rays. They are certainly com
fortable motor accessories. A veil
adds to the comfort of any woman
who is traveling, and ft Is a good
thing to have around at all times.
EVIDENCE IN A SINGLE HAIR
Human or Animal? What Kind of
,Animal? Scientists Can Tell
Without Fall.
To the German analyst hair is
packed with Information. The approx
imate age and physical condition can
be constructed by an examination of
a single hair, Melville Davisson Post
writes in the Saturday Evening Post.
The hair of every animal has cer
tain distinguishing characteristics. It
Is not to be mistaken by a competent
investigator. Some animals, as for
example the cow. have three types of
hair. These will be known by their
structure. Under a proper microscop
ical examination hairs will be as eas
ily distinguished by an expert as va
rieties of trees in a grove will be dis
tinguished by a forester.
There was a case in which a dagger
found on the prisoner had a few short
hairs caught entangled in a nick of the !
blade. He explained this by saying
that he had used the dagger to kill a
rabbit that he had found trapped in a
hedge. The authorities reported to
the police, after an examination of the
dagger, that the hairs were not of hu
man origin, but they also added that
they were not rabbit hairs—they were
Bqulrrel hairs.
The police were extremely puzzled
until they finally discovered that on ,
the night of the homicide the prison- |
er had worn a great coat trimmed with :
squirrel fur. He had, in fact, carefully
washed the knife after the assassina
tion and thereby removed every evi
dence of his act, but, unfortunately
for him, he made the mistake of at
tempting to dry the dagger by wiping
It on the fur lining of his great coat.
SOME FACTS ABOUT RADIUM
Found Only In the Most Minute Quan
tities—Minerals That Carry It
Easy to Determine.
Radium ts a metal and is described
as having a white metallic luster. It
has been Isolated only once or twice
and few people have seen it. Radium
is ordinarily obtained from its ores In
the form of hydrous sulphate, chloride
or bromide, and it is in the form of
these salts that it is usually sold and
used. These are all white or nearly
white substances, whose appearance
Ib no more remarkable than common
salt or baking powder. Radium Is
found in nature in such exceedingly
small quantities that it is never visible
even when the material Is examined
with a microscope. Ordinarily radium
ore carries only a small fraction of a
grain to the ton of material, and ra
iium will never be found in large quan
tities because It is formed by the de
cay of uranium, a process which is
wonderfully slow, and radium Itself de
cays and changes to other elements so
rapidly that it is impossible for it to
accumulate naturally in visible masses.
Minerals that carry radium, however,
ire fairly easy to determine. One of
:hem, pitchblende, as generally found,
s a black mineral about as heavy as
jrdinary iron, but much softer. The
principal radium mineral, carnotite,
las a bright canary yellow color, and
s generally powdery. There are other
-adium-bearing minerals of less im
portance.
Webster’s Power Over Audience.
An interesting anecdote of Daniel
SVebster is found in "Bygone Days in
Boston’’ in the North American Re
view. Webster was delivering an ad
lress hi Faneuil hall on the necessity
’or Individual exertion and unflinch
ng patriotism to avert the dangers
hat threatened the political party
whose principles he espoused, when
tie perceived a terrible sway of the
packed assembly, consequent on the
rush of those endeavoring to enter,
md noted the danger that might en
sue. The orator stopped short in the
middle of a sentence, advanced to the
sdge of the platform, extended his
irms in an authoritative attitude, and,
In a stentorian voico of command,
cried out: “Let each man stand firm!”
The effect was lnstantanequs. Each
man stood Arm; the great heaving
mass of humanity gained its equilib
rium, and, save the long breath of re
lief that filled the air, perfect stillness
ensued. “That,” exclaimed the great |
srator, "is what we call self-govern
ment!” so apt an illustration of the
principle he was expounding that the
vast audience responded with deafen
ing cheers.
Five Kinds of Thunderstorms.
Recent study of thunderstorms has
resulted in' science's dividing them
Into five distinct types. They are the
beat thunderstorms which occur in
regions of high temperature and near
ly uniform pressure; storms which
sccur in the southeast quadrant of an
ilmost circular cyclone; storms which
Dccur between two anticyclones; and
those which occur on the boundary be
tween warm and cold waves. Of these,
U1 but the first ar produced by the
pver and underrunning of winds of
Afferent temperatures, which in some
way not yet understood, cause masses
pf moist air to rise.
Matter of Business.
"I hope you don’t associate with
that man 1 saw you speak to in the
itreet Just now?”
‘ Associate with him! What do you
take me for? The man, sir, is one
pf the most rascally, corrupt, sneak
ing, underhanded, low-down,, villain- 1
dub, and depraved scoundrois that
»ver kept out of jail!”
“I know it. But why are you on
HMaklnc; terms with him at all?" 1
“Why, I'm—er—his lawyer.”

I THE REAL AND ONLY
;>
i;i By IZOLA FORRESTER. -:j
When you stand for hours at a
ticket office in an elevated station, you
get to know your regular people. Be
sides, Larry had tjje inquisitive ro
mantic sense, and he often wondered
whether some day the Girl, the real
and only, would walk up and ask him
for a ticket, and maybe he’d be ab
sent-minded and let her get by with
out recognizing his fate.
And after all, it was Marty who no
ticed her first. Marty took the tickets
and could see everybody up and down
the platform. One night about 6:46,
as a train pulled out, Marty strolled
over and said: “He was right on time
tonight, wasn't he?”
"I missed it,” said Larry. "What is
it?” ,
"She’s been waiting here regular
and frequent for three nights now,
and he comes at 5:45. Some girl, be
lieve me, Larry.”
The next night Larry watched for
her. When she came to buy her ticket
—it was She! He didn’t have to be
told twice. All he did was look at
her. She was slender and lissome.
Somewhere Larry had read about girls
who were lissome and winsome and
the kind that Just took the heart out
of you without asking.
For three weeks or more Marty and
he watched the progress of her ro
mance. Neither one approved of the
man. He was too young and sure of
himself, too nonchalant, Marty said.
That was the word. Nonchalant meant
you didn’t give a rap whether she was
there to meet you or not. Sometimes
he was late, but she never was. And
finally, when the 6:46 Harlem express
pulled in one night, she saw him
through the window with another girl,
and he didn’t get off that night.
She must have been crying. Larry
reasoned it out afterward. The steps
were icy that night anyway and slip
pery, but when she turned around to
go down them to the street she fell,
and it was Larry who reached her first
and carried her back to a bench in
the warm waiting room.
"I'm not a bit hurt,” she faltered.
“Only shaken up a little bit. I can go
home.”
Whereat, with great emphasis on
the impersonal business responsibility
he felt. Larry told her he got off at six
and would see that she reached her
home safely. And Marty whistled as
he saw them board the uptown train
together. By the time he left her at
her door up on Eighty-sixth street,
near Madison avenue, they had made
wonderful strides in acquaintanceship.
All the way back to his room, Larry
said her name over, Alice Carlson.
Perhaps she had inherited that blonde
spun-gold hair from some Norse an
cestor, he thought, and her rare, clear
coloring.
Marty was the first to notice the
jeering of the wind of romance. She
failed to appear on the platform for
the 6:45 Harlem express. Several
times the young man in gray got off
and looked about, but she was not
there, and he seemed troubled. Then
came a night when he waited around
until the 6:10, which Larry always
took, and he saw her.
And. just as he approached. Larry
tucked her uqder his lee, so to speak,
and put her aboard the train. She was
a bit white, but game, with her head
uplifted and her lips smiling at Larry,
and when they had gone several sta
tions she said:
"Did you see that young man in
gray? I—< know him. He’s often in
our store. He's a salesman."
“Yes," said Larry pleasantly. “Seems
to be what we used to call up home
sort of spruce looking.”
She laughed, and shook her head.
"I don’t know. I don’t like that sort.
Seems nice to meet somebody, real
somebody like home folks, don’t you
know? New York’s so strange, you
almost lose yourself in it."
"You have to keep fearfully busy so
you don’t get homesick.’’ he laughed
down at her. “That’s the way to win
in anything—you just hang on."
She looked up at him admiringly,
her eyes sparkling with interest—look
ing until something in his own blue
eyes brought the color to her face,
"Mother said she'd like to meet
you,” she said shyly. “If you’re not
too busy Sunday evening—”
"I’m not,” Larry broke in buoyant
ly. "But don’t be too nice co me or
I’ll be glad you tumbled that first
night.”
The wind swept around the corner
as they came to the street and she
bent to face it, her muff pressed close
against her face, her eyes full of a
new light.
"I’m awfully glad,” she said softly.
“What funny little things kind of—
kind of change lives around, don’t
they?”
“They are not funny little things,”
Lafry whispered, holding her for a
minute at her door. "They are
glimpses at the great machinery. Can’t
you try to believe that it just had to
b«, preordained and all that—you to
tumble and me to pick you up and he
to go by with that other girl—’’
"Oh, then you saw him." She was
not angry, only anxious as she looked
up at him.
“You don’t mind now, do you?”
"I don’t mind,” she whispered, lean
ing away from his reaching hands in
to the vestibule. "Good night, I-arry."
And Larry stood alone facing the
wind, his hands deep in his coat poek
ets, all the glory of love’s surety in
his eyes. He had found Only Her, the
Real and Only Girl.
