There!; no such animal,

he cried!

XVL picking the ponies oneday when I started telling

him about a sure thingI heard about.

'You say it pays four bucksfor every three?" he asked.

"Yep," I replied.

"And can't lose? It automatically wins?

Must be illegal!"

"Not a bit," I replied. "In fact, the govern-

ment very much approves . .

."

"Our government approves of a horse whocan't lose. .

."

"Who said anything about a horse?" I asked.

"So what else could it be but a horse . ..?"

"It not only could be—but is—U S Savings

Bonds," was my prompt reply. "The surest

thing running on any track today.

"For every three dollars you invest in US.Savings Bonds you get four dollars back

after only ten years. And if you're a mem-ber of the Payroll Savings Plan—whichmeans you buy bonds automatically from

your paycheck—that can amount to anawful lot of money when you're not looking.

Hey, what are you doing?"

"Tearing upmy racing form ! The horse I'm bet-

ting on from now on is U. S. Savings Bonds."

Automatic saving is sure saving -U.S. Savings Bonds

FOR A MORE GLAMOROUS /)j /l/fmt

HOME HAIR TREATMENTSNothing's much prclticr than the shine laid on

your hair by good health and good cart. Even a headof hair that needs setting isn't unattractive if it's

shining and tidy. However, the dull, rough, fuzzy

look and the lank, stringy, oily look are equally un-

attractive and unnecessary. Actually, you don't haveto spend hours each week in a salon lor professional

care to have radiant, manageable hair, with properequipment and attention paid to a thorough rinsing,

a home shampoo can be a real 'conditioner" and hair

beautifier.

This is what you need for a professional-like homeshampoo:

First, a special shampoo preparation. Even thoughyour hair takes kindly lo soap, you should never apply

the bar directly to the hatr as the soap then clings to

the scales of the hair and is almost impossible to re-

move entirely. Melt your soap in water and apply as

a liquid shampoo.

The new cream shampoos and oil shampoos are

usually most effective when used on fine and oily

hair. The iream shampoos ate applied to the wet hair

and then a rich lather is worked up by adding morewater gradually. The oil shampoos mc usually ap-

plied, after wetting the hair, directly to the scalp,

combed through the hair and then rinsed away.

Foaming and soapless shampoos are often favored

by those with normal hair or with O'ly hair. Theseshampoo preparations should be thoroughly massaged

on Scalp and hair before rinsing away.

An egg shampoo once in a while is a good hair

conditioner. Here is the recipe for one: Take twoeggs and beat the yolks and whites separately. Beat

the eggs until foamy, then beat the two together add-

ing about two tablespoons ol fine table salt and a

little tepid water. Rub the beaten eggs thoroughly in-

to the hair. Kinsc with clear, tepid water, adding the

juice oi a lemon to the last rinsing.

Dry shampoos are excellent to use between regular

shampoos to keep blond and oily hair fluffy. Dryshampoos are always desirable when illness or other

circumstances make a wet shampoo impractical. These

shampoos are usually in powder form (though some

are liquids). They are massaged into the hair and

then brushed out.

For the rest of your home shampoo equipment you

should have:

l.A spray attachment for rinsing. If this is not

available, then rinse your head under the shower or

provide yourself with a saucepan and quantities of

hot water.

2. Comb and brush.

J, A final rinse preparation.

4. Cotton pads tor dabbing on the final rinse and

drawing it along the length of the hair.

iPLir HAIRS

ll the ends ol your hair split, your health may bethe tattor. Improper bleaching, tuo much sun andsalt water, interior hair dyes and poor permanentsare other causes for split ends.

Since the hair grows from the root out, give your

scalp daily massage to encourage growth so that the

split ends may be cut off. Soften those ends and makethem manageable with brilliantine.

DANDRUFF ON YOUR SHOULDERS

A fine "snowdrift" of dandruff on your shoulders

is not to be tolerated. No well-groomed girl will

abide it. Actually dandruff is a Making oft of the scalp

skin with a combination of oil and dirt particles. If

you follow faithfully directions for shampooing, you

can rout the simple forms of dandruff. Vigorous

brushing and massage Will speed the circulation of

the. blood and make for a healthier scalp. Special

stimulating tonics will further help to check and dis-

courage these unattractive flakes. Remember, active,

daily care is necessary to keep dandruff away, for

there is nothing to destroy dandruff forever

LANK, LIFELESS HAIR

Wearing a hat all day long constricts the blood

vessels, choking off the nourishing supply Irom the

hair. Furthermore, hats shut out sunlight and fresh

air. If you must wear a hat all day long, then you

should brush the hair vigorously at night. Make it a

rule to go bareheaded whenever possible. If, for the

sake of your wave, you sleep in a net at night, makesure it is as loose and open as possible to permit free

circulation of air.

FALLING HAIR

A certain amount of tailing hair is natural. Newhair should grow in to replace the hair lost. Some-

times, though, the new hair does not appear and

baldness threatens. If this baldness is the result of a

constitutional disorder, a check-over by your doctor

and a removal of the cause should check the hair loss.

If baldness is the result of a scalp disease, treatment

is indicated.

i hi most common cause of baldness is an iafectioti

of the scalp and hair follicles, named seborrheic

eczema. It may be recognized by falling hair, itching,

scaliness, greasiness and inflammation. Treatment for

this calls for daily shampoos followed by an applica-

tion of warm oil. Oil of benne is excellent for this

purpose since it neither dries nor mats the hair.

DRY HAIR

If dry hair is your complaint, oil treatments before

shampoos are your salvation. Vou can give yourself

Page 27: Ace Comics Complete Love Magazine 163 1952

n effective oil treatment at home in this manner:

First, hrush your hair vigorously. Then warm three

or four tablespoon fuls of oil. Part your hair. With a

dab of cotton, apply the oil to the scalp along the

length of each part. Now draw the oil-saturated cot-

ton pad along the length of the hair, strand by strand.

Next, saturate a towel in steaming hot water andwring it out. Wrap up your head, turban -fash ion in

the towel and let the steam soften your dry hair and

spread the oil quickly.

When the towel gets cold, remove and wet again

in steaming hot water. Use several hot towels in this

fashion. If possible allow the oil to remain on the

hair for at least half an hour before shampooingaway. Oil applied twelve hours before using a sham-

poo preparation* specially designed for dry hair is

better yet.

OIIY HAIR

If your hair is too oity, you should immediately

check on your diet and eliminate the rich, greasy

foods. Exercise i< in order for you, too.

Wash your oily hair as frequently as it needs. Try

the various shampoos specially designed for oily hair

—the foaming shampoos, the soaplcss shampoos and

even the liquid soap shampoo, When you find the

one best suited lo your hair, then stick to it. Unless

the directions specify otherwise on your shampoo,

don't stop with one sudsing but rinse and repeat to

insure all the oil, dirt and soil accumulations have

been removed.

RULE THE WAVESYou can give yourself a home permanent, too.

These permanents give body to fine hair and put a

nice wave in hair of all (extures.

The equipment for a home permanent wave is

simplified for you by the manufacturers. Everything

you will need is included in their little kits. You will

find.it helpful, though, to provide yourself with a

turban which you can wrap around your head and

thus go about your day without looking "all done

up in curlers'" while the permanent is "working."

THE FINAL RINSE

By all means avail yourself of the tints «trui rinses,

if your hair looks faded, streaked, dull or lifeless.

Camomile rinses, commercial rinses and mild ammonia-peroxide bleaches will keep the gold in golden

hair. Rinses with a henna tone put lights in dark hair.

Gray hair sparkles after a platinum or bluing rinse.- ^Giving yourself a rinse is easy. Try it!

WHAT'S YOUR BEAUTY PROBLEM?

Pin CuH, Mole* Hair Frizzy

It appears that your hair does not need to be verj

damp to take a curl. Try pinning it up absolutely dry

and see if the curl takes. If it does not, then dampenthe hair very slightly but avoid soaking it. After the

hair has been combed out, spray a little brilliantine

on it to make it more manageable and glossy.

Complain* Perfume Loter. It* Fragrant* OnH*r Skin

Perfume fragrances arc mysterious substances that

subtly change their fragrance with the individual.

This is because of the skin's chemical reaction to theperfume. If you've not yet found a perfume that re-

mains fragrant, you've just stopped short in yoursearch, for if you try, you're sure to find a scent that

will remam delightful for hours. Remember, too, thesense of smell is quick to tire and it may be that yourperfume is still fragrant, but your own nose is not'

reporting the fragrance to you. Before you decide a

perfume does nothing for you, you might questionyour friends to see whether they can detect its presence.

Enlarged Per**

This is a sympton of sluggish skin functioning.The treatment calls for thorough cleansing to preventthe formation of blackheads, and stimulation to en-courage more normal functioning of the pores. Fol-

low your cleansing with a splashing of cold water or

an astringent tonic. The use of a facial mask once ortwice a week gives good results too, ,

Protruding Shoulder Blades

This figure fault can be traced to a posture fault.

When you carry your ohest up and hold your backstraight, your shoulders can't bulge in the wrongplaces. However, if you've had bz$. posture habits for

years, you'll need a good exercise to pull you back in

line.

Here's one for this purpose: Stand about eighteeninches away from the wall and place your hands onthe wall with fingertips touching the wall. Keep yourbody straight as you lean into your hands. Now pushyourself the arms' length back. Push forward. Pushback. Start with twenty times and as you practice in-

crease the daily count to fifty.

How To Mak* Eyo< Look Long*r

Apply your mascara heaviest at the outer comersof the upper lashes. To achieve this without beading,apply first one coat of mascara and after this dries, a

second. With your eyebrow pencil, make a tiny dotat the outer corner of each eye, Eyeshadow shouldstart at the center of the upper lids and be fadedgently outward.

Has Whit* Upper lip

It the use of a facial hair remover seems to leave

the upper lip whiter than the skin on the rest of the

face, try the abrasive type of hair remover that rubsthe hairs off. Next, use a tinted foundation all overthe face before applying your make-up. The founda-tion will give an even color tone to the skin and hide

any irregularities in the natural coloring.
