Beautiful Hair
Fascinates All
The hair fetishist, technically, is
a criminal who cannot resist the
temptation to steal hair; who can
not see a beautiful woman without
being uncontrollably seized with a
desire to snip a lock of her hair and
carry It away.
Yet the hair fetishist, criminologists
say, is only abnormally afflicted with
the same fascipation for beautiful
hair which all of us possess in milder
form.
Features are unchangeable. Size
and figure are more or less unalter
able. But beautiful hair is within
the power of every woman.
Regular and thoro cleansing with
FITCH SHAMPOO is the first re
quisite of a clean, dandruff-free
scalp, and beautiful, healthy, glossy,
ustrous hair.
Without proper care and attention
your hair is bound to be dull, thin
rnd scraggly. Use FITCH SHAM
POO and your hair will be clean, col
>rful, and altogether charming.
The FITCH SHAMPOO is on sale
it first class toilet goods counters. In
two sizes, 75 .cents, 11.50 for family
■acknge. Complete directions in
oackage. Applications at leading bar
ker shops.

ruptcy was filed yesterday morning In
federal court against the American
Securities company, subsidiary real
estate and financial agent of The
Home Builders, Inc., by Crofoot,

torneys.
The petition alleges that the same
men who are officers of The Home
Buliders. Inc., against which bank
ruptcy proceedings also are pending,
are also officers o fthe American Se
curities company, and that the com
pany is taking steps to delay and
practice fraud upon certain creditors
in the transfer of certain property.

Stolnhelmer company, which holds a
$625 note; Harry A. Koch company,
with a claim of $114.85; and Frank
Morris, with a claim of $146.58 for
plumbing work.
The law provides that bankrupt
petitions must be brought by at least
three creditors, whose claims total
$500. The petitioners declare the
company is insolvent and unable to
meet its overhead expenses. They
estimate liabilities in the neighbor
hood of $500,000 and assets at around

the American Securities company paid
$234 to the Columbia Fire Under
writers and $900 to another insurance

Your Kitchen
IT’S no new* to you how many thing* electricity
can do for you in the kitchen— for you have
your toaster and percolator, your dishwasher, and
perhaps even your range.
But did you know that in order to make all the
kitchen work easier, all you need do i* to lighten
it, with the right light?
— in two simple way*:
1. Use a 100-watt or 150-watt Mazda lamp fbnlb)
in an enclosing glass globe, a* a center light, as
near the ceiling as possible.
2. Have a light right above the sink, from 6 to 12
inches from the wall, in a deep white-glass shade
open at the bottom. An ordinary 50-watt Mazda
lamp will supply all the light you need, directly
down on the dishes.
These two improvement* can be done today by
your electrical contractor, at a reasonable cost, add
without any mussy carpentry. Call him up, and
see how it takes one problem out of your servant
problem.

Don’t leave it to chahce
If the mayonnaise your hostess serves
is good, you remember it. If it’s bad,
you remember it, too; though you may
wish to forget it. That’s because the
salad is the foremost dish of the menu*
Why not make sure of your salad when
it means so much to the meal? You can
do so with MacLaren’s Mayonnaise.
