Many theories have been Advanced, but thus far there is no proof to substantiate them, according to the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical Society in its Health Talk. . Alopecia is the medical name for %aldaes8, stemming from the Greek word meaning fox and accounted for probably because very 4>ften foxes have bald spots on their coats. -- Heredity seems to be a factor Hn baldness. Just as it is in families whose members are known tor their luxuriant growth of hair, to has the lack of hair been noticed in family generations, and in (•articular, effecting the male sex. Certain diseases accompanied - With fever play a role in the "falling out" of hair. This is usually a --temporary loss with the hair growing again just as it did before the Illness. Bald patches are also --Noticed frequently with boils, carbuncles, and some accidental injuries when the scalp has been --••craped. Each hair grows from a bud or * foot known as a papilla, about a quarter of an inch below the surface of the skin. That is why it iB Jfcood to stimulate the circulation Jpeiieath the skin by rubbing the .vifcalp with the finger tips. There U bo denying that a crop i>f hair stop the head is a more Attractive sight than a bald pate. Hence the popularity of toupees %nd the patronage of those who promise a sure and quick result Jn the resgrowing of hair. Unfortunately, this latter practice is scheme ouly, since there is no definite medical proof that the Jfcrowth of hair can be restored. ^ Dandruff is a dry, scale-like sub- •ta'ace that accumulates on the fcalp of the victim, dropping to the outer garments as embarrass- ~"Ing evidence. This strange and unpleasant condition is identified gjfrrith an overactivity of the seb- ; iiceous or oil glands. Since dry and falling hair are •uggestive of a physical disturbance, it is wise to have an examination to rule out any internal 1 condition. Cleanliness of the hair is essential iu the care of the scalp. Even when the hair is light and fine, ; odors will cling to it as will dust. Brushing of the hair helps to keep it clean as does washing It at ieRular intervals. Singeing the hair is not beneficial. A hair is not hollow. When cut in two a hair is seen to be oval-shaped. Straight hairs are somewhat circular in outline, while curly hairs are flattened. If the hair is dry and unmanageable, the application of a little oil r»r grease will keep it in place. However, this application docs not nourish the hair. True nourishment >f the hair comes from within. If the internal machinery of the body is in goo^d working order, so that food is properly assimilated and distributed, necessary fuel or nourishment is provided. Since baldness is associated with many different factors, such as inefficient glands, heredity, injuries a-.id certain systemic conditions. it is evident that many causes are involved. More study and research are required.to make the diagnosis and treatment of the oonditiou an uncomplicated procedure. CHAIRMEN NAMED IN DRIVE TO AID ARTHRITIS VICTIMS MANY ILLINOIS DRIVERS VIOLATE LAWS UNKNOWINGLY Many Illinois drivers are unconsciously in non-compliance with the drivers' license iaw^^Secretary of State Edward J. Barrett said this week. "Through lack of knowledge of the law," Barrett said, "many persons have failed to report to this office any change of name or address since receiving their current driver's license. "The Illinois motor vehicle law states that if any person shall move from the address named in such application or change name by marriage or otherwise, he shall notify the secretary of state in writing within ten days of his new address or new name." Written notification of change of address or name shall suffice to keep the license...owner within the law, Barrett said, and application for a corrected license is entirely up to the licensee. The charge for a corrected license--showing the holder's new name or address, is $1. The incorrect license must accompany application for corrected license. Barrett urged that license holders, when writing to his office in regard to Notification of a change of name or address include their license number in the letter. David R. Joslyn, Woodstock attorney, has undertaken the chairmanship of a drive in McHenry county to start next week for the Arthritis and Rheumatism Foundation, it was announded by former Gov. Dwight H. Green, who has been directing the downstate efforts for this project. Mr. Joslyn stated that Warner H. Miller, First National Bank of Woodstock, has been appointed treasurer and, acting as co-chairman for their areas, ia plans already underway are: Horace F. Ether, Fox River Grove; Floyd M. Foss, Richmond; William IV Hoy. Huntley; Vernon Kays, Marengo; Mrs. Dorothy McEachren, Ringwood and Wonder Lake; Delwin Rattray, Algonquin; M. B. Spooner, Hebron; Mrs. John Tornow, ilurtnd and James 11. Weir of Harvard. The drive has frequently been called "the Miracle Drug Campaign" throughout the state, where support for it has been active and wide-spread, because a major objective is to finance clinical testing of the recently discovered remedies, ACHT and Compound E (Cortisone) in Illinois hospitals and medical institution^. This work must be completed before the drugs can be made generally available, even if quantity production at low cost, for which manufacturers are striving, were already a reality. Therefore, the hopes of seven and one-half million victims for early availability of the drugs depend greatly on the extent of public generosity now. Mr. Joslyn said he was particularly influenced to lead a movement for county-wide support when he learned of the intensive and self-sacrificing efforts of severely afflicted victims in the immediate area to speed the foundation program. (Notable in this group is, Miss Eleanor McClurkin of Woodstock, a seve^ly crippled arthritic for almost thirty years. "Considering that we have, in McHenry county alone," Mr. Joslyn stated, "at least 8,000 individuals suffering from rheumatic diseases, tliis project becomes a matter of personal interest to everyone. "In addition to the physical pain involved," lie said, "arthritis inflicts a heavy economic burden oil victims and their families--as conspicuously reflected in our taxes. Therefore, contributions to this cause mean even more than the return to normal living they pro1- mise for a large segment of the local population. Funds are urgently needed to carry out the "miracle drug" studies and I am sure McHenry county will join the rest of the state in doing its part to provide them."

GREEN ST McHENRY Historical pageant 9 TO BE HIGHLIGHT OF 1950 CHICAGO PAIR "Frontiers of Freedom," a new historical pageant of IffSllywood magnitude expected to dwarf in pulling power the eminently successful "Wheels A-Rolling" production staged here during the two summers, will be one of the headline features of the Chicago Fair of 1950. According to Crosby M. Kelly, the exposition's executive manager, the mammoth spectacle will capsule 270 years of American achievement in fourteen scenes to a fast moving tempo lasting only sixty-three minutes. With a cast of 250 actors and with properties including herds of animals and almost every type of conveyance ever .used in America, it will be presented on the nations' largest outdoor stage The theatre, with seats for more than 6,000, is located on the Lake Michigan shoreline. " Producer of the pageant will be Helen Tieken Geraghty. In 1933 and 1934 she master-minded the "Wings of a Century" pageant at A ,Century of Progress World's Fair; and hi 1948 and 1949 she directed '"Wheels A Rolling', with a paid attendance of 2,705,251 over its two summer run of 175 days at the Railroad Fair. ....Keyed to the basic theme of the new fair --"An exposition to depict and dramatize achievements of agriculture, commerce, industry and science, which under our pioneer heritage, promise new, ever higher standards in American living"-- "Frontiers of Freedom" will he a glorification of the boundless opportunity enjoyed in this country. Opening scene of the new production will be re-enactment of the ceremonies marking the signing of the treaty of friendship between William Penn and the Indians in 1680. This historic event, Mrs. Geraghty states, was the outstanding springboard toward the agrarian culture and economic freedom that have characterized American progress in the almost three centuries that have followed. "Political freedom" is highlighted in the second scene,, which will show George Washington taking his first inaugural oath as President in New York City. In the same scene will be dramatized the birth of American trade and industry. Other equally important periods in America's development follow rapidly in succeeding scenes. Portrayed will be the beginning of the first inland canals, the apparance of the first railroads, the heyday of the clipper ships at Baltimore, the debut of the Chicago Board of Trade, and the driving westward of the Indian fronteer. Following another scene memorializing Lincoln's freeing of the slaves, the pageant portrays among other historical events, the agricultural conquest of the prairies, the discovery of oil in Oklahoma, the beginning of the modern mechanical age in 1900, the first flight of the Wright brothers' Kittyhawk airplane and *the mass advent of the automobile. Closing the pageant will be a parade of the most eye-filling motorized equipment of every kind, including such specialties as corn pickers, farm combines, bulldozers, oil derricks and fire apparatus right down to the latest type of jet airplane. For itB final curtain the pageant will use an impressively moving wall made up of modern steam and mesel railroad locomotives. Explaining the story behind the pageant, Mrs. Geraghty said, "America, as we know it, is the Rain or shine, par taxi service Is on call to the people of McHenry and sarronndlng community.
