CO QIC Monday, vnrd Wide Spread Interest Among Women in Sheppard-Towner Bill The legislature will consider in the next week or two House Roll Nn. 1H6, a bill to continue the acceptance by Nebraska of the provision of Shep pard-Towner Act. a federal act for the promotion of the welfare and hygiene of maternity and Infancy. The eyes of Nebi'tska women are turned toward tho state house. When the bill was before congress it had the hacking of fourteen na tional women's organizations. It ls< came a law November 23. 1921. and was accepted by -12 states, including Nebraska, li was Accepted by Gov < rnor McKelvIe In July. 1922, pending the next session of the legislature. What The Act Is. There is much misinformation as to just .what the act is. Its administra tion Is not centralized in the fed oral government. The state au thorities formulate the plans under which tho work is to be done and carry out those plan/s. It Is not com pulsory. The law says specifically that no mother and no child are com pelled to accept the services provided In the act. It says specifically that nothing In the act shall be construed 'as limiting the power of a parent or guardian to determine what treat ment or corrections shall be provided for a child or the agtncy or agencies to be employed for such purpose.” The act provides for a federal board of maternity amt infant hygiene, composed of the chief of the chil dren's bureau, the surgeon general of the United States public health serv ice, and the United States commis sioner of education. This board ap proves the plans submitted by the states. The children's bureau of the Unit ed States Department of Uabor is charged with the federal admlnlstra tion of the act. Nebraska women are proud of the fact that the chief of this bureau is Miss Grace Abbott of Cleanliness Necessary for Health of Hair. Cleanliness Is the first requisite In order to maintain the health of the i hair. Regular shampooing, scalp massage and brushing are all es sentlal to removing oil, dust and the| dry surfacs skin that constantly ac cumulates on the hair and sc^lp. First of all the shampoo. Washing every two or three weeks is general ly sufficient for hair that Is In good condition. Dry hair should be sham pooed a little less frequently and hair that is very oily may be safely sham pooed about one e\ery 10 days or two weeks. The hair should he well lathered with the shampoo and the scAlt> briskly massaged with a firm rotary movement. It Is best to rinse the scalp once with fairly hot water, then lather the head and rinse again sev eral times, making the water cooler and cooler until the last rinse is cold enough to stimulate the scalp. If possible, dry the hair by a brisk rub bing with towels instead of using heat, shaking It well and letting the air circulate through It freely. Never comb the hair until it is quite dry, as when the hair Is wet It Is very clastic, and combing strains It so severely that It's liable to br.-aV Wh»n the hair Is dry. it should be well brushed to stimulate the bloc 1 supply In the scalp.

Crepe dr Chine Collar and Sash Carry Strange Signs from Egypt NJ By MARY O'CONNOR N'EWEIX. New York — (Spec lal Correspond enre.l—Call It street frock, mat drea3, costume suit—as you like. You can not hurt Its feelings. There Is today | no pride of exclusive lineage in any of the three.

Here the f.imiliar line put,-* on side as a coat dress in !>eige wool ratine. It would do as well In silk or cotton goods. The crepe de Chine scarf col lar and the tie sash are yellow and , carry orange and blue signs from an cient Egypt.

Every little bit can do its bit. Economy for the Shopper By Mr*. Harlan II. Allen. finality ill Tallin Damask. A tiaineii eye and a deft finger are tlio only means of recognizing qual ity in table damask in the bolt, and of distinguishing linen damask from cotton. And even sight and touch are not always infaiiible, for there are combination weaves of cotton and linen by which even the connoisseur Is sometimes fooled. The old woman's test of wetting her fingers and applying it to the fabric to note how quickly the moisture penetrates, is still practiced by the best-bred modern shopper. Flax thread* are fine and thin and absorb the moisture instantaneously, while cotton threads are heavy and with stand moisture longer. In addition, the general feci of linen damask is firmer and at the same tin* finpr than cotton. Cotton is softer to the touch, but coarser. A cotton tablecloth has- more body to it than a linen one. but it does not take the polish of linen. There is an oil in flax which makes it shine under the iron as long as the shred of It remains. Cotton is a dulled thread and will never possess the sheen of linen. A good quality of cotton damask, however, will give more service than a cheap quality of linen. Frequently both linen and cotton are comb.ned in the weave to make a very satis factory cloth for general use. The cot- I ton threads or the warp or foun dation, and the linen the woof or that 'part of the weave which la on top. The general unsettled condition of Europe makes it Increasingly diffi cult to obtain the best quality of lin en. Damask whicb before the war was known as No. 3 Is now No. 1. Approximately 80 per cent of the world s supply of flax cornea from Russia, and Russia is at present putting out a very poor quality. Flem ish flax is recognized as the beijt in the world, and although Flanders Is now speeding up on her production, she is still far behind her normal output. Discarded Towels. When Turkish towels begin to wear out they seem hopeless because of their thickness. They make splendid cloths With which to clean the bath tubs, as they will not scratch the enamel and yet are heavy enough to add a good resistance to the cleans ing powder. No Dumps. Remove the powdered sugar from the bag as soon as it arrives and place it in 'a tightly covered glass Jar. such as a mason Jar. You will find no lumps when you wish to use It. — SILVERWARE— All silverware in ^tock at cost for cash only. ALBERT EDHOLM 2d Floor City Nat'i Bk Bldg.
