If you want to see your customers' hair grow in beauty and color, mid brilliance and luxuriance, stop drenching and rinsing it and depeud upon dry shampooing. "Dry shampooing once a week will bring about wonders.

"To make a shampoo powder mix 4 ounces of orris root with 4 ounces of tlierox. Sprinkle a tJiblespoonful over the head and brush thoroughly through the hair. Don't spare the brushing.

The president of that club wishes the young girls who love Miss Alcott and enjoy reading "Little Women," to help raise this money. If one girl would give 10 cents and get nine other girls to give 10 cents apiece, and each of these would get nine other girls to contribute, and so on, the sum might easily be raised and many girls would feel an ownership in the house.

ber One will be made known on Sunday, March 19. Each week following two winners, one in each class, will be announced. The Grand Prize of $25 will go to some one of the sixteen who have won Class Prizes. The winner of the Grand Prize will be announced one week after the last Class Prize winners are named, and the boy or girl who is awarded this final testimonial of merit will be selected by a committee of experts to be chosen by The Eagle. No competitor may win more than one Class Prize, but any competitor may submit storieB on any or all of the subjects.

Thus, if you have not won a prize on Subject No. 1, you still have a chance to win on the other subjects. The Eagle reserves the right, in any case where it may be deemed necessary, to require satisfactory nroof that a competitor Is within the age limits of the class In which he or she Is competing, and that the story submitted Is original. Remember, that Btories must be original as to plot and construction, and must have as their basis historical fact. While The Eagle will print each week the main historical facts concerning each subject, it does not restrict competitors to those facts alone.

They may look up their histories, for additional information if they choose. In fact, this is strongly recommended. Get all the information you can about each event before you start to write your story, but when you do sit down to write, let that part of the work be ORIGINAL. The Eagle hag selected eight subjects which are not only of historical importance to Brooklyn and Long Island, but which make good material for fiction. They ought to stir the imagination of any boy or girl who cares anything about the history of this country.

MAMMA'S BIRTHDAY GIFT. By BELLE HURWITZ. The Brooklyn Dally Eagle is offering seventeen caBh prizes for fiction stories based on eight different historical subjects. In order to give the younger children as good a chance to win a prize as the older ones, there will be two different classes. Class A will include Junior Eagle readers who are over 32 and not over 18 years of age.

Class will be made up of those who are 12 years old, or under. Both classes will have the same subjects to write upon. There will be eight of those subjects the first of which was announced In The Junior Eagle last Sunday. Each Sunday hereafter a new subject will be announced. For the best story on each subject there will be a prize.

In Class A there will be eight prizes of $20 each. In Class there will be eight prizes of $10 each. Then there will be a Grand Prize. That will be an additional reward for the very best one of all the stories that have won class prizes. Stories In both classes will be eligible for this prize, which will be $25.

These are the conditions of the Historical Competition: The stories are to be original fiction, based on the historical subjects which The Eagle will announce from week to week. Therefore, it Is necessary for Junior Eagle readers not only to study their history carefull- but to display their skill as story tellers. The main facts concerning each historical event must be adhered to by competitors, but they may introduce imaginary characters and incidents of their own. For Class A competitors a limit of 1,600 words is placed on each story. For Class competitors the limit is 1,000 words.

These limits must be strictly adhered to. Stories must be legibly written on one side of the paper only, either In ink or by typewriter, and must be sent flat or folded, but NOT rolled. Stories must be addressed to The Editor of The Junior Eagle, and marked on the envelope "History Competition." Competitors may write titles for their stories, but must not write their own names on the stories. Theji must mark them Class A or Class whichever is the case. On the story itself, Instead of the writer's name, must appear a nom-de-plume.

Then, sealed in another envelope, on the outside of which is to be written the author's nom-de-plumo to correspond with that on the story, must be given the- name, address and age of the writer. This condition is made to insure to competitors that their work will be judged on Its merits alone. The winning stories will be selected by a committee of Eagle editors before they know who the writers are. After a winning story has been selected the envelope marked with the corresponding nom-de-plume will be opened and the name of the winner learned. In selecting the best stories on each subject these general conditions will be observed.

Accuracy of historical facts. Ingenuity and originality of plot. Excellence of Btyle and composition. Correctness of spelling and English. The Junior Eagle will publish' in Its Sunday and dailv editions any of those stories which It may see fit to Belect, whether thev are prize winners or not.

Subjects for stories will be announced each Sunday. Two weeks time is given to competitors to write a story after each subject is announced.

In a little apartment at the top of a tenement house, in the poorest section of the city, a little girl sat rocking to and fro.

Edith selected one particular piece.
