The sun has a most dryine effect upon the hair, and will quickly rob it of the life and lustre which are its greatest beauty. Probably you will have the advantage of a permanent wave, but if not, try and manage to give your hair the benefit of a rested body, fresh, pure air.

and a lime-building diet of milk and fresh fruit and vegetables. Each of these items will have a good effect upon hair health and hair growth. Do make the very best of the opportunity, and even if it doesn't make you look your very best, dispense with ministrations of a curling iron, or steel curlers. The right summer shampoo will help your hair to remain lovely even when uncurled. Shake about a teaspoonful of borax into the last rinse water and your hair will have a soft fluffiness that will recompense you for the sacrifice of the manufactured marcel.

Summer beauty resolutions are simple things, you see, but they are just as easy to forget as to remember, so do yourself the favor of paying a little heed to them at this season, even though you are so busy pla ying LIME GIVEN FOR LEt -1 Special to The Courier-Jrnal. Irvine, July 29. Mai. O. F.

Richmond, July 29. A great concourse of students and members of the faculty of the Eastern. State Teachers' College, with citizens of Richmond and other places, gathered this afternoon on the campus to pay tribute to the memory of the late Dr. Thomas J. Coates, president of the institution for eighteen years.

The programme was simple. W. C. Bell, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, presided. With music interspersed, addresses on the life, character and work of Dr.

Coates were delivered by State Senator H. H. Brock of Harlan, member of the school's board of regents; Dr. H. H.

Judge James M. Benton of Winchester was the principal speaker. Music and a dinner were parts of the entertainment. How to Achieve Beautv By MADAME RUBINSTEIN.

Resolutions for the Vacationist. I know just exactly how you feel about vacation resolutions. But these really do not require half of the energy or determination a real resolution does. In fact, they amount to nothing more than the remembering of a few sensible precautions, which will not only make your vacation the more successful, but your return the plfasanter. You are going away to do your whole physical and mental mechanism the greatest amount of good Be sensible about it and see how advantageously the invincible combination of good food, abundant rest and exercise will work out to the benefit of your beauty.

The cuisine of the average summer resort is usually a dietary inspiration But you will spoil the whole thing and nullify its good effects if you emulate the boarding-school miss and tuck away a few boxes of candy in your suitcase. Try for just two weeks to confine yourself to fresh vegetables a minimum of meat, fruit, milk and simple cooking, and your complexion and figure will both take a turn for the better.

CADMAN'S COLUMN Questions from The Courier-Journal readers are answered daily by the Rev.

Dr. S. ParUes Cadman. president of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America. Dr.

Cadman seeks to answer inquiries that appear to be representative of the trend of thought in the many letters which he receives. Reading, Penn. Can you suggest a good book which deals with the function and purpose of the poet? I am a business man with little opportunity for much reading, but I like fine poetry. Read Matthew Arnold's "Essays Criticism." He made no pretensions to be a philosopher and his thought is not distinguished for depth and penetration. But he was thoroughly sound at heart and his moral nature was of the highest.

He also understood poetry and was a poet of the refined and classic form. Do not be repelled by his apparently languid and reiterative style. It will outlast the tautology, unre-strain allusion and execessive symbolism of many popular writers. You will find his "Essays" intensely practical and in this respect more American than European. Follow this with Shelley's splendid "Defense of Poetry," which you should be able to find in any library containing his complete works.

James Russell Lowell has expressed Shelley's ideas in his stanzas on the poet's vocation, which follows: "To know the heart of all things was his duty, And things did speak to him to make him wise. And with a sorrowful and conquering beauty The soul of all looked grandly from his eyes. He gazed on all within him and without him. He watched the flowing, of Time's steady tide. And shapes of glory floated all about him And whispered to him, and he prophesied.

Than all men he more fearless was, and freer, And all his brethren cried with one accord 'Behold the holy man! Behold the seer! Him who hath spoken with the unseen Lord Atlanta, Penn. How are the permanent and temporary quotas of the existing United States immigra tion law arrived at? Do you think these, including that on national origins, should be maintained? As I understand them, the temporary quotas are based on the ratios of nationalities represented by the foreign-born population resident here In 1890. This population then numbered 8,000.000, a calculation which did not include the ancestral strains of the much greater native population of that arbitrarily chosen year. The permanent annual quota of 150,000, which is provided for in the present law, in effect on July 1, 1928. is to be divided proportionately among the various quota countries, according to the respective national origins of the entire white population enumerated in the last census of 1920.

Government statisticians and other experts have computed to a reasonable degree of accuracy the national origins of the American people. The particular provisions you mention have been indorsed by economists, biologists, sociologists and educators whose judgment I respect. It is perhaps needless to say that immigration is a Durely domestic question and should be so regarded by all concerned. Certainly it ought not to become the football of partisan politics. The purpose of the law under discussion is to assure the perpetuity of the American nation as ethnically constituted at the present day.

Temp. Pre. of He L. of J. a is it, but a drug that can knock a headache "cold" can do so by knocking the entire nervous system "cold," and nature demands repayment for such treatment.

Now just as high temperature is a symptom, a high pulse rate a symp-ton, low or high blood pressure simply symptoms, so also is a headache only a symptom of trouble, or as this writer graphically puts it "headache is merely a symptom, a red flag frantically waved by old Mother Nature. "It tells as plainly as possible that somewhere in the internal regions something is going wrong." In a former article I spoke of twenty causes of headache, but there are likely more of which I didn't think or know. It doesn't look like good sense, therefore, to take a powerful drug to stop or cure the headache without any endeavor to find out the cause. While this writer had in mind that taking powerful drugs might quite readily cause a "drug habit," my thought is that the common sense thing to do would be to try and find out the cause of the pain.

We would consider his achievement fabulous had we not seen in the papers a short while ago with the report his death an account of his life, which we all read with interest and inspiration. It only affirms again that many serious handicaps are psychological rather than physical. The psychologists tell us that we all possess a will to dominate, a desire-for superiority over others.

In most of us, this assumes a perfectly harmless natural and even beneficial expression, but when a child is bora with a handicap, or is stricken soon afterward, as was Mr. Cook, strangs things may happen. A peculiar psychology develops. He fui-is himself in a bitter struggle asainst his surroundings as he tries to overcome his difficulties. Maybe he can't run or walk as his playmates do cr throw a ball or play the games he sees them playing.
