Uplifting Influence.
In addition to the 18 naMora of
churches there are levcrai ordamed
minister belonging to the Nf n
itterial alliance, all having an uplift
ing influence in the civic a welt a
in religioui alfairi of the com
munity. That the colored people have de
veloped their church activities to a
rtate which brines the church closer
to every-day life is the belief of
many colored men of influence.
The minifters encourage gronn ef
forts along constructive lines. They
are adviing their members to buy
homes, keep them up and improve
conditions in the neighborhood in
which they live. Recently one of the
ministers said:
Room for Improvement.
"In the fifld of religious activity
the negro has done much, but a
great deal remains to be done. Wc
need to develop in the young men
slid women a deeper spiritual devo
tion and a finer moral sense. Our
entry into the modern economic
ftruugle in this country has not
made for moral progress among us.
Here we will have to guard our
sclve. First the minister must be
guarded, helped and strengthened
?nd then the lesson must be taught
to others."
This idea is carried out in the ac
tivities of the various churches. Each
church has its organization of young
and old people as well as organiza
tions embracing the entire member
ship. The church is the meeting place
and all activities arc carried on there.
There are suppers, dinners, enter
tainments of all kinds and programs
in which the grownups as well as
children appear. The members not
only meet on a religious plane, but
become interested in each other from
a community standpoint.
Minister as Guide.
" One reason for this was the ab
sence in earlier days of halls and
meeting places for colored, people
exclusively. Gradually-:; the' church
became popular as a place of public
gathering and, in addition to being
a house of worship, became a public
forum and community center.
At the head of the interchurch
organizations, the minister stands as
a guide. The member is taking his
secular problems as well as his re
ligious problems to his, minister for
proper advice.
There are few nights that see all
the churches dark. There are many
organizations and their activities
bring the members together for rec
reation or study on numerous occa
sions. More and more the ministers
are encouraging their members to
make more of the church as a com
munity center.
Two Young Men
Who Thrive by
Playing Old Men
The art of character creation
reaches a high level in the hands of
Al Lydell and Carlcton Macy, who
are at the Orpheum theater this
week, in a comedy skit, entitled
"Two Old Cronies." Both these
men are young and they make-up
comically to represent the oldest
living of Civil war veterans. The
delineation of an old, whitc-whisk-cred,
toothless, rheumatic man by a
young fellow, less than half the age
of the character, is a capital achieve
ment by Lydell.. Much credit is due
Mr. Macy and his characterization
is as clear-cut and engaging as that
of his partner, but Lydell offers
excuse for the question, "How
does he do it?" And then, the same
applies to both.
Lydell is not a stranger to
Orpheum patrons. A few years ago
he did some mighty clever work
with the team, Lydell, Rogers and
Lydell, when he enacted an old man.
He then appeared with Bobby Hig
gins, in a skit, "A Friend of Fath
er's," in which he portrayed a char
acter he actually met in GrubsArk.,
where the original went about and
acted just at you see' Lydell play
ing him now. "Wilbur Hutchinson"
is the "stage name of the character,
and to this Lydell has clung since
he made his discovery. In the pres
ent act he is again Wilbur, the Civil
war veteran, who wants an argument
on any subject at any time. He Is
permitted to show the slow, careful
steps the old man takes; the, pain
racking body carried along by a
man acute to the most cheerful
things about him; an old man who
chews his tobacco and keeps his
white whiskers immaculately white
despite the habit, and when Lydell
mounts and descends the steps the
art of acting is carried to its highest
standard.
Another Star.
Marie Shotwcll. famous stage
player, has been added to the Wil
liam Farnum company making
t "Shackles of Gold", at the New York
studio of William Fox. Miss Shot
well has had a long stage career.

It w.is the anntul dinner of the
Lawyer's club, of which he was one
of the governors, and Helen was
nutteriimly anxious that he should
look well.
At lat he was off. Forlornly, she
turned back to straighten his room,
in cyclonic disorder after his hurried
dressing.
The suit he had taken off needed
pressing. She inut send it to the

always careless about emptying his

eager to get off to the movies.
Vcs. any time. I don t want

eat alone.
At the table she took Warren's
scat so as not to face its emptiness.
It was a dismal meal. Having no
appetite, she fed most of the
warmed-over fricasseed chicken to
l'ussy Purr-Mew, stationed on the
arm of her chair.
There were never any real din
ners, only warmed-overs, when War
ren was away.
No. I won t dress that salad, as
Anna brought in the bowl of crisp
Romaine. "Keep it for tomorrow

Helen's economies.
"Oh, yes, I intended to speak of

be tired I want him to sleep late."
After dinner in the library, Helen
faced the long evening alone. Brood-
ingly, she darned a torn neckband in
one of Warren's shirts and three
pairs of socks. Then she tried to
read, but the soft sensuous night and
a distant hand organ had aroused a
restless disquietude.
All day. perhaps because of the in
sidious spring in the air, she had
been vaguely depressed. And now,
curled up by the open window, she
gazed wistfully out. V
The myriad lights and pulsing
rumble of the great city brought a
poignant realization of her own In
significance. Her life seemed sud
denly trivial and purposeless.
How little she was accomplishing!
Wasting the best of her youth in a
dull routine of household duties!
Surely, there was more in life than
that. This monotonous domestic
round day after day it seemed to
lead nowhere.
Warren was forging ahead making
a name and a career for himself
while she was standing still.
What did the future hold for her?
She would grow older, less animated,
less attractive. With each year she
would lose not gain.'
She shivered at the appalling
thought that the years would bring
only a gradual deterioration with
nothing to compensate no personal
achievement, no recompensing ca
reer only a more helpless depend
ency upon Warren.
She had always pitied those color
less middle-aged wives to whom their
husbands were attached only through
a sense of duty. Now she had much
to give Warren all the allurements
of youth. What would she have at
4050?
He would still be young. A suc
cessful man was young even at 60,
But most women were hopelessly
middle-aged at 45. Merely stolid
housekeepers for their husbands, who
would probably much prefer to live
at a club and be free to court some
younger woman.
The cruelty of nature that makes
a woman dependent upon her hus
band through all her married life, yet
gives to her, for only a tew years, at
tractions with which to hold himl
Morbidly she dwelt on the general
upheaval that would follow if it were
suddenly decreed that all men, with
out injustice or disgrace, might leave
their middle aged wives. If all duty-
bound husbands were legally and
morally free to marry some younger
woman would there not be a uni
versal stampede?
If only she could do something
worth while with the youth that was
still hers? . few fortunate women
achieved successtul careers, tndepen
dent of their husbands. Why could
not she.'
The harrowing thought of wasted
years! Had she started in her school
days to specialize on some one thing
what mignt sue not have ac
complished?
But she had spent her girlhood
thoughtlessly, and her married life in
effacingly ministering to Warren
His physical comforts, his food, his
home, were her engrossing interests
while he was building for himself
a career in which she had no part.
A man's business and professional
prestige is all his own. His wife,
whatever her contributions, her sacri
fices and economies, has little share
in the recognition of his achieve
ments. It was half-past 10. Warrenhad
told her not to sit up, yet broodingly
inert she shrank front tht initiame of

at his pipe. Then, after a moment's
silence:
I'm to have something handed
me next week that's worth while."
"What?" eagerly. "Oh, you never
tell nic anything!"
"Didn't want to talk about it till I

over the impressive phrase, Aext

"Well, not right away, he grinned.
"You're so square and line no
wonder they want you," perching on
the arm of his chair. Uear, J. just

"Not so big, but it's solid. Some

hairpin through the stem of his pipe.

to mean some extra business. Don't

picturing him in a great leather chair
at the head of a long "directors'
table. "I just know they will!"
"Fat chance, of. that! Here, stop
your squirming."
Nestling against the silk lapel of
his dinner-coat, all brooding
thoughts of her own narrow, monot
onous, subservient life were forgot
ten in the joy of his success.
He was forging ahead! Her own
ambitions, her restless cravings,
dropped from her. Once more came
effacement contented, williug ef
facement in the glowing pride of his
career!

Next Week Helen's Awkward
Disclosure.
Youngest Film Producer.
. The world's youngest independent
motion picture producer is believed
to have been discovered. He is Jes
us Enriquez Topete, a Mexican, who
is only twenty-three years old and
who has been producing for several
years. He is now in Los Angeles to
study production methods. Topcte
is now making a series of pictures
for the Mexican government. He
was accompanied to the studio by
Maria Montoya, a Mexican motion
picture star.
The young producer, who also acts
in his own pictures, introduces a new
idea in collars, so far as Hollywood
and Culver City are concerned. A
narrow black band extends around
the bottom edges of his collars. The
same idea is carried out in his shirts.
It is said to be considered very
smart in Mexico.

For Soft Brilliant Hair
F.DED, brittle hair and an itchy, acaly
scalp results from a starved condition
of hair sacs and email blood vessels.
A vigorous massage, usinj? a good tonic
to give them renewed life and energy,
stops itchiness and overcomes dandruff. A
pleasing and highly satisfactory hair and
scalp tonic can be prepared at home by
mixing half a pint of bay rum with half
a pint of water and adding one ounce of
beta quinol. For best results use a little
each day: after a few applications the
hair gradually assumes its former color
and luster, and you will soon see a wonder
ful increase in the growth of your hair.
ANSWERS TO QUERIES

deep, so much more is the importance of
making it as beautiful as possible. The
muddiness you complain of may be very
easily corrected and you will find your

all other blemishes by pursuing the fol
lowing simple method. I have never known

Almost every one knows that
Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly
compounded, brings back the natural
color and luster to thethair when
faded, streaked or gray. Years ago
the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which it

of this famous old recipe", improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
at a small cost.

can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this

gray hair disappears, and after an
other application . or two your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy and

smooth.
MRS. R. M. : Most soaps and sham
poos dry up the secretions of the scalp
and hair and fail to remove the scurf
and dandruff: the best way to get rid
of these troubles is to dissolve the scurf
and dandruff. This ..an very easily be
done by washing the head with eggol; this
will leave the scalp free and clean and
give your hair a chance to breathe so it
will grow. Eggol is quite inexpensive as
a twenty-five cent package ia enough for
a doaen shampoos.
WORRIED: The first sign of wrinkles
sure does worry us. The texture of the
skin has a great deal to do with wrinkles
forming, so if you will use something that
will keep the skin finer and the pores
smaller I think your worries will be over.
There ia nothing that will refine the skin
texture like eptol. It is surprising what it
will do for one's complexion. Get a two
ounce package from your drug store, use
it according to the directions and in a few
days you will, like many others, sing its
praises.
JENNIE: Don't squeeze blackheads, I
hope I have said that strong enough.
Squeezing blackheads only makes pores
larger, then you have laid the foundation
for that worst of troubles wrinkles. There
is only one safe and aure way to get rid
of these pesky things, and that is to dis
solve them: to do this get a small quan
tity of powdered neroxin from your drug
store, apply a little on a wet cloth, wash
off in a few minutes and you will find

Making Your .? Hair

How to Have Beautiful Hair
Male Yourtelf More Attractive
EVERYWHERE you go your hair ia
noticed most critically.
People judge you by its appearance.
It tells the woi Id what you are.
If you wear your hair becomingly and
always have it beautifully clean
and well-kept, it adds more than
anything else to your attractive
ness and charm.
Beautiful hair is not a matter
of luck, it is limply a matter of
care.
Study your hair, take a hand
mirror and look at the front, the
sidesand the back. Trydoingituo
invariousways.Seehowitilooksbest.
A slight change in the way you dress
your hair, or in the way you care for it,
makes all the difference in the world in
its appearance.
In caring for the hair, shampooing is
alwaysthe most important thing. Sham-
pooingbringsout the real life and lustre,
natural wave and color, and makes
your hair soft, fresh and luxuriant.
When vour hair is dry, dull and
heavy, lifeless, stiff and gummy, and
the strands cling together, and it feels
harsh and disagreeable to the touch, it
is because your hair has not been sham
pooed properly.
When your hair has been shampooed
properly, and is thoroughly clean, it
will be glossy, smooth and bright, de
lightfully fresh-looking, soft and silky.
While vour hair must have frequent
and regular washing to keep it beauti
ful, it cannot standthe harsh effect of
ordinary soaps. The free alkali in
ordinary soaps soon dries the scalp,
makes the hair brittle and ruins it.
That is why discriminating women,
everywhere, now use Mulsified cocoa
nut oil shampoo. This clear, pure and
entirely greaseless product cannot pos
sibly injure, and it does not dry the
scalp or make the hair brittle, no matter
how often you use it.
If you want to see how really beauti
ful you can make your hair look, just
follow this simple method:
A Simple, Easy Method
FIRST, put two or three teaspoonfuls
of Mulsified in a cup or glass with a
little warm water. Then wet the hair
and scalp with clear warm water. Pour
the Mulsified evenly over the hair and
rub it thoroughly all over the scalp and
throughout the entire length, down to
the ends of the hair.
Two or three teaspoonfuls will make
an abundance of rich, creamy lather.
This should be rubbed in thoroughly
and briskly with the finger tips, so as to
loosen the dandruff and small particles

If you hail a thort note, do not

other individual Jeatures must he
taken into consideration in selecting
the proper hair-dress. Above all,
simplicity should prevail. You are
always most attractive when your
hair loots most natural
nvhen it loots most
lite you.
After rubbincr in the
rich, creamy Mulsified
lather, rinse the hair
and scalp thoroughly
always using clear, fresh,
warm water-
Then use another application of
Mulsified, again working up a lather
and rubbing it in briskly as before.
You can easily tell when the hair is
perfectly 'clean, for it will be soft and
silky in the water.
Rinse the Hair Thoroughly
THIS is very important. After the
final washing, the hair and scalp
should be rinsed in at least two changes
of good warm water and followed with
a rinsing in cold water.
After a Mulsified shampoo you will
find the hair will dry quickly and evenly
and have the appearance of being much
thicker and heavier than it is.
If you want to always be remem
bered for your beautiful, well-kept
hair, make it a rule to set a certain day
each week for a Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo. This regular weekly sham
pooing will keep the scalp soft and
the hair hne and silky, bright,
fresh-looking and fluffy, wavy and easy
to manage and it will be noticed
and admired
by
everyone.
