Each hair is like a transparent tube. Inside it are tiny cells that determine the color -- black, brown, auburn or den. Wel. tins. grey Bret ab the roots. It is as if the pigment fluid had been turned off. A shaft can be white half the length, dark the other half. Prematurely white hair is often inherited. It may be beautifullly becoming, make a person appear distinguished and lovely, vet few women welcome it because it sug- gests more birthdays than one has experienced. Young women With snowy tresses complain that they are often classed with older women They are justified in doing a little bawling about the matter. Like blonde locks," white ones call for the most fastidious care. Only the blandest bgp ghoul = wel for shampoo] and, form, they should be melted. At the t time we have more of- ferings in the way of hair cleansers than ever before, some for dry hair, some for oily. Cream shampoos are popular and with good reason; they are more easily removed than lath- er. : If you are white-topped sister, begin your shampoo with a rousing to remove surface dust. Use the bath spray with a strong current of water. Dip your fingers into the shampoo cream, bringing out a scant tablespoonful of the fragrant emollient. Friction it well into your scalp. It will foam up like egg white. Keep adding warm wat- er, keep rubbing briskly. Don't be stingy with elbow grease. A thor- ough shampoo is a form of scalp treatment, : Use the spray ggain, apply more of the shampoo medium, before the final rimsing. There is no such thing as spending too much time on a head washing. You are deal- ing with a combination of atmos- pheric dust, sebaceous oil and other scalp debris. All that is not easily JAMESGiv hstribut Perhaps you are tempted to flirt with hair dye. * + @ Careless shampooing means that white locks may carry yellow streaks; also, unless the hair is thoroughly clean, the permanent wave will expire before its time. That happens especially if soap re- mains on the shafts. These de- posits coat the hair to that the springy coil quality disappears. Perhaps you are tempted now and then to flirt with a hair dye. It is well to know what you would be in for. The first application does not end the project. The hair grows to the extent of half an inch every two or three months, and the removed. new growth must be touched up. THIS WEEK IN BRITAIN :- British Schoolboys Off To Canada AN OFFICIAL RELEASE P. M. Sir Claude Auchinleck sail- ed for Canada on August 2 and with the smallest army he has ever commanded -- 50 boys from Britain leaving for a tour of Ontario and Quebec. Just before they sailed from Liverpool on the "Empress of Scotland" the boys joined with 50 young Canadians now in Britain in toasting "an absent friend." The absent friend is Mr. W. Garfield Weston, Canadian Biscuit Manufacturer, who is defraying the cost of both tours. The two parties of smart-looking boys all nominated by their youth organizations came together at the Adelphi Hotel and while the Can- adians eagerly told their opposite numbers about what they had seen in Britain, the young Britons pump- ed them about Canada. The British boys, who were cho- sen from youth clubs and public schools, were fitted out with blue blazers #nd flannel trousers, and were presented with badges to commemorate the trip. After visit- ing Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa, To- ronto and Niagara Falls, they will spend a week in camp in the back- woods before returning in the same ship early next month. Speaking at a luncheon given to the boys, Field-Marshal Auchin- leck expressed his admiration of Mr. Weston's generosity and patriotism which he said contributed to what we all desired -- the getting-togeth- er of people so as to secure a de- cent life for all, The Lord Mayor of Liverpool, Al- derman the Rey. H. D. Longbottom, who went aboard the Empress of Scotland to wish the boys "Bon Voyage", told them: "In these very difficult days, when there is so much suspicion in the world, you have got a tremendous opportunity of telling our kinsfolk in Canada that we in the Old Country are one with them in meeting all the threats the present world crisis may bring upon freedom-loving nations." + + + Candies Laugh at 35-Foot Snowdrifts Packaging for Canada is very much in the news these days in Britain. A London (England) re- search organization has just pro- duced 100 pages of advice to Bri- tain's manufacturers about what Canadians want and how they like i ed. But one UK. firm, at any rate, was in there pitching way ahead of the publication of the report. One Canadian sales manager of a well-known UK. chocolate manufacturers, has just written to the Sales Director in England des- cribing the fortunes of a consign- ment of candy destined for Vancou- ver during last winter's freak storms there. The cargo left Saint John, N.B, on January 18th but was held up at Moose Jaw for several days on ac- count of snowslides in the Rockies. It had barely got unfier way again when it was held up by more snow- slides. The chocolates finally reached Vancouver in mid-February after travelling through 35-foot snow- drifts in 40-below weather. Con- Britain is to supply the entire studio and outside broadcasting television equipment to start Can- ada's first television service. A few 'weeks ago an order to equip two studios In Toronto and two in was placed with the Brit- ish Marconi Com by the C: 3 pany by the Can- adian Broadcasting Corporation and that Company is now to supply, un- der a new contract, two specially designed television outside broad- casting vehicles. ; These vehicles will be complete televisions stations on wheels and will cost over $180,000. The de- sign of these mobile stations will constitute a great advance in tele- vision outside broadcasting equip- ment. They are to be streamlined and fully insulated and will contain all the television equipment which is usually found only in well-fitted studios, Each vehicle is to be a three- camera station -- using Marconi Mark II cameras -- and will be fitted with full videa, audio and radio link equipment. This enables the producers to send a vehicle to a given spot and have three cameras in action there, in a short time, sending pictures back to the main station through its own radio link transmittet. * * % London To Paris In 55 Minutes The world's first commercial pet airliner recently made its initial flight for British European Air- ways on their London-Paris run. It flew at 300 m.p.h., reducing the normal flying time by one-half hour, to 55 minutes. The plane is a Vickers Viscount airscrew-turbine airliner. One of the passengers on this flight was Sir Frank Whittle, in- ventor of the jet engine, who com- mented: "It is the smoothest ride I have had by any form of trans- port. I am very pleased that the first jet airliner to go into com- mercial operation is British." Three-Year Game Of Chess What may well prove to be an endurance record for a chess match has been established by a template maker in the Farington factories of Leyland Motors Ltd, and two members of the staff of A. G. Pru- dent and Co., Leyland agents in the Argentime, Two games were played simul- taneously by Mr. J. H. Davies, of Leyland, one each with Mr. Wm. M. Wickner and Senor Mario C, Centi, of Buenos Aires. Almost three years have been taken to complete the games, al- though the moves have been made regularly by air mail. Although they have travelled a distance of 569,500 flying miles--equivalent to 23 times around the equator, or just a little further than the dis- tance to the moon and back. The matches began after a chal- lenge from Buenos Aires had been published in the journal of Leyland Motors Ltd. in May, 1947. The first moves were recorded on the 25th July, 1947, and the games have only recently been completed. At one point, after crossing the Atlantic 39 times, there was-a long delay in delivery of the next move; on enquiry it was discovered that the original record sheets had been lost with a plane which crashed off the coast of Brazil early in January 1949, Duplicate copies, however, had been kept by both sides and the matches continued. The moves crossed another 46 times withoui mishap, After the 85th move with Mr. Wickner, Mr. Davies resigned from this game, and he has agreed to a "draw after the 75th move with Senor Conti. WILL TOUR PLANT Ottawa, Aug. 14--(CP)--Thirteen high-ranking 'officers, students at the Imperial Defence College, arriv- ed here Sunday night by air to start a coast-to-coast tour of Canada's industrial nd defence points. A Physician Advises You By HERMAN M. BUNDESEN, M.D. FOOT AILMENTS It's a rare individual who goes through life without being painfully conscious of his feet, at least from time to time. Many people get along well enough ordinarily but have trouble if they are required to stand or walk for any extended period of time, but the real unfor- tunates are those who suffer in this way constantly. It has been estimated that at least one out of every three persons is so handicap- ed ped. Most of these people try to get relief but, unfortunately they rely on self-treatment and consequently accomplish little. Painful Feet In treating painful feet, the ob- ject is to correct poor ailgnment of the feet so that the body weight is carried correctly, that is, on the outside edges of the feet rather than along their inside margins. Pain due to pressure must also be relieved. Then the power of the foot muscles must be restored and increased. All of these things can be accomplished by the wear- ing of proper shoes, by using suit- able arch supports and, above all, by physical exercise and treatment with heat and massage. In some cases, what is known as spastic flat feet may be present. In this condition, the feet turn out- ward and there is a contradiction of some of the muscles which keeps the feet fixed in this abnormal pos- ition. Under Anesthetic In this disorder the best treat- ment seems to be manipulation or movement of the feet, wit the patient under. an anesthetic, to free the tissues and the muscles. Then the feet are put in casts to hold them in the proper position. After the casts are removed, corrective shoes are worn. These shoes are raised on the inner borders so that the weight of the body is thrown on the outer edges of The feet. Sometimes, the patient may have painful heels. In treating this dis- order, a search should be made for infections, such as may be present in the teeth, tonsils and sinuses, and these should be eliminated, since these infections may at times cause spurs to form on the heel bone. Surgery is necessary to re- lieve this condition. Often, the patient should be kept at rest in bed. Injections of a local anesthe- tic into the tissues may be employ- ed for temporary relief. Now and then, if these measures do not pro- duce a cure, cutting of the nerves to the affected area may be requir- ed. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS J. D. Is there any help for a fallen uterus?

GLAMORIZING :- When Travelling Take Beauty Kit By HELEN FOLLETT A handy travel meit is this little case which contains a lipstick, founda- tion stick and rouge stick. Nice in your handbag, too. L J You can't beat women for run- ning all over the face of the globe. They are everywhere; getting eagle- eye views from the Eiffel tower, sitting on pyramids, motoring over an Alp now and then. They have a yen for tripping, and their smart appearance is a credit to them. Pack light, whenever you are a gadabout. A lot of luggage is a nuisance and a bother. Before starting on any kind of pilgrimage give your toilet articles the once over. If 'you have favorite creams and lotions, trot to the cosmetic shop and get them in small con- tainers so they will take up little space. Cosmetic chemists, the most thoughtful of male creatures, pack- age their items in several sizes, which is pretty smart of them. Beauty Kit An excellent investment is a beauty kit for travellers, containing any number of good looks aids for which you have need. They come in all sizes, at all prices. Some of the expensive ones are pure joy. Some of them have special L -- J compartments for money and such papers as you will need during a jaunt in foreign lands, Creams, powder, rouge and lip- stick are the Big Four; you are never likely to forget ome of them. You will also need an eyebrow brush end mascara, if your lashes aren't dark enough to suit your idea of how they should look. As you may never have leisure for a manicure, and may be wary of subjecting your pink talons to operators about whose skill you are not sure, you should take along your nail instruments an cosmetics. These should include a long flexible file of high grade steel; ourved, needle-point scissors for removing hangnails, orange wood sticks, bev- eling files of emery board, cuticle cream, polish and polish remover. Sounds like a big order but the whole outfit will take up little space. If you are going to Europe or any foreign country take along plenty of soap. Few hotels supply it to their guests. y Sh TIPS FOR TEENS :- Let By-Gones Be By-Gones ELINOR WILLIAMS "My girl friends and I have discussed these matters many times and would like your help," writes a junior high school girl. "If a boy and girl 'break up' and he comes back later to be forgiven, should you forgive him if you have met somebody you like better?" Ans --Forgive him by all means. Just be casually friendly with a "let by-gones be by-gones" attitude, saying that of course you believe in "forgiving and forgetting" unpleas- antness and that it's past history as far as you're concerned. If you've met a boy you like better, simply explain to him that you value his friendship and want to continue to be good friends, but that you're not " steady." Don't mention 'the other boy whom you like better; it's better not to discuss personal matters like this with anybody, for it's strictly your own concern -- no- body else's. "When on a date, should you chew gum?" Ans. -- Chewing zum isn't considered good manners soc- ially any time. But, if you and your date enjoy it, I should think it would be better if you BOTH do it or else both skip it. "I am 13 years old and my moth- er won't let me go to the movies or give parties. I am in junior high. Do you think 13 is too young to start giving parties and going to the movies with boys? Please answer this in the column." Ans.--You have been old enough for parties at your friends' homes since you were two years old. Doesn't your mother realize that it's better for you to have normal, wholesome fun at home than in questionable public places? But it's improper to go to other people's parties without ever entertaining it is! them in return. Now's the time to go to parties and give one yourself occasionally. Why not try to ex- plain this to your mother? Movie . dates with boys usually begin a little later . . . at the age of 15 or so, depending on your city or town and whether you come directly home afterward.

I discovered that this week. I went blithely off on a two weeks' vacation while all heck was break- ing loose in Hollywood. " For instance, when I left town Errol Flynn was cooing over the Romanian beauty, Princess Ghika. He swore they would be wed in the Fall and he would settle down. Now I return to find Flynn has tossed the Princess aside for Patrice Wy- more. This is an incident which could have reached as far as the State Department, except for the fact that Romania is red and the Prin- cess is not. Let's take another news break. A couple of months ago, Betty Hutton broke with her husband, Ted Bris- kin. For several weeks she acted convincingly gay at various night spots with other men. She took over microphones for song sessions and generally gave a good impres- sion of Mary Martin's mood in the number, "I'm gonna wash that man right out of my hair." So what happens? Betty recon- ciles with Briskin in Chicago. When I left town, Bette Davis had returned from divorcing the voluble William Grant Sherry in Mexico. She declared her reported romance with Garry Merrill was part of the Hollywood fable. Be- sides, his wife was divorcing him in Slowpoke, California, which requires a year for married couples to cool off. But -- what do you know? -- now Bette is Mrs. Merrill, thanks again to Mexican justice. All this has confused me no end and I am listening to the broad- casters and reading all the columns so I can catch up. PRINCESS IS REPROVED London, Aug. 14--(Reuters)--The King and Queen have put down "tern parental feet" on the activities of 19-yearlold Princess Margaret and decreed that she must not have so much publicity, says a gossip columnist in the Sunday Pictorial. The new policy forced the princess to cancel at least two dance engage- ments recently, the writer says.

Made in Canada, CUTICURA icra SP PALL slenderizing: =the way Cuticura helps | Dear Mrs. Beeckman: For the past three years I have been private secretary to a man who is one of the heads of our or- ganization. My employer thinks it {8 more practical for us to go on our vacations at the same time. This year he and his wife have taken a cottage nearby the small seashore hotel where I always spend my vacations. The other day he mentioned this, and invited me to "drop in anytime" to see them. I know his wife quite well from meet- ing her when she comes to see my employer in the office, but I have never been to their city house. I really feel hesitant about going to see them in their summer place without an invitation from his wife. What do' you think? Reader. I entirely agree with you and your wise social point of view. If there is or perhaps will be some special reason for a social gesture during your vacation, your employ- er's wife, as hostess of her home, is the one who should do the invit- ing . .. just as she would be the one to invite you to their city home. There's no difference. Under prac- tically all circumstances, I think it's a great mistake for an employee to take seriously this kind of off-hand "invitation" from an employer. It's usually made as casually as the em- ployer undoubtedly thinks it will be taken! And I believe (and I think you believe so too) that you would feel self-conscious and soc- ally awkward to "drop in anytime" without an invitation, or even to telephone to ask if you may come. From what you say in your letter, I can see no reason that would war- rant this informality. Your Vacation Voice . . . What Does It Reveal About You?

Where they would ordinarily laugh, in va= cation-time, relaxed time, they guf- faw. And true it is too that the people who feel that they must scream and guffaw in order to have a good time, are generally the ones who have the dull habit of constantly repeating four or five (or, even worse, perhaps only one or two) of the current, or wornout, slang words or phrases. Apparently they feel that these words and phrases, if repeated enough, form a witty background of conversation!

Cucumbers in Many Varieties Offer Freshness to Salad Plate The cucumber is one of the oldest known fruits and has been culti- vated around the world for cent- uries.

Gherkins are of | West Indian Origin and are a small | variety with many spines. In that | country the gherkins -are used either | fresh, cooked or pickled.
