OCEAN AS A HAIR TONIC
Tom Parnell, gallant gentleman and railroad man extra
ordinary, has recently returned to Elkin from a vacation by
the sea with a story of how the salty brine and the beaming
sun has worked wonders as a hair grower insofar as he per
sonally is concerned.
From what we gathered elsewhere, the ocean also acted
as an emetic that also worked wonders, but then that to
be expected.
Mr. Parnell, who has done
worrying we have ever seen in
bottle games at the local fair, has 4
Arer a period of years quite na- j
-■Orally worried some of his hairi
out, there being one spot in par
ticular which, prior to his trip to
the beach, was quite void., But
now, after a week there in the
salty, sun-filled air, a new crop of
hair is appearing and bids fair to
result in a wonderful harvest.
Naturally Tom was quite de
lighted when he discovered this
amazing fact, but was a little
worried as to whether or not the
new born fuzz would stand the
vrigors of this mountain climate,
feowever, we suggested that he
wnake up a solution of ice cream
jpalt and water and bathe his

Alicia Dixon, who has her eye on Hollywood, marvels at . . .
... the age of this stone cat, recently discovered in Egypt.
It is 3000 years old. But that's young compared to . . .
. . . old Brontosaurus, the dinosaur who roamed the earth'
irtgfiy millions of years ago. Now think of this. The crude
oils used in refining Sinclair Opaline Motor Oil were
formed millions of years even before Brontosaurus was born.
Oldest crudes plus ...

some of the most efficient
connection with baseball-milk
head each morning and noon in
the brine solution, then run
around town bareheaded so the
sun could get in its good work.
After all, the sun which shines
here is the same sun which
shines at the beach insofar as
we've been able to find out.
We learned that Tom not only
started a new crop of hair at the
beach, he also was the life of the
party when it came to jumping
the waves. So expert did he be
come at hurdling waves—even
waves as high as six and eight
inches—that the ladies of the
party put themselves in his care
without hesitation despite the

I danger of getting wet almost to
the knees.
But back to the hair. We have
been trying to get Tom to go Into
[business In a big way by selling
a hair restorer made up of Ice
cream salt and water which would
be called "Parnell's Little Won
der Hair Restorer for Hairless
Domes." With each bottle could
be included full directions about
the sun. Of course on cloudy
days the treatment would have to
be left off, but a discount could
be given for these days based on
the length the various heads of
hair didn't grow. Or better yet,
the patient could apply twice as
much restorer the first sunny day
after the cloudy spell and as a
result his new hair would grow
twice as much.
Personally, we believe this idea
has wonderful possibilities. With
numerous heads of new hair
sprouting in every direction,
think of the boost it would give
the barber business, not to men
tion the hair lotion trades, and
the fact that it might possibly
hurt the hat business could be
overcome by bringing out a top
less hat into which the sun
could stream from above. Of
course in the early morning and
late afternoons these hats would
have to be worn at an angle so
the sun could get in, while at
high noon they would have to be
worn exactly level atop the head.
But a luxuriant crop of new hair
would more than compensate for
any slight inconvenience along
this line.
Tom hasn't reached a decision
in this matter yet, naturally
wanting to see how his own hair
gets along, but we believe he
should start bottling this prep
aration at once, for even if it
didn't do any good the suokers,
er, the buyers would at least have
the satisfaction of trying out a
new baldheaded lotion.
Don't you think so?

THIS AND THAT
Everyone was worried over the
whereabouts of Thurmond Chat
ham and family when the war
broke in Europe, and the sinking
of the Athenia didn't help mat
ters any for fear that he might
have sailed on this boat. How
ever, he's safely back now and as
a result we won't have to give so
much time to looking after the
progress of the new addition
down at the itaill.
We had a postcard from Mr.
Chatham which came Wednesday
ol last week, having been mailed
from somewhere in England Aug
ust 28. He said he was seeing
some exciting times, and that he
hoped we were looking after the
new mill while he was away. We
hope, now that he is back, that
he will find everything satisfac
tory. Of course he may grumble
a bit at having to replace a top
plank on a fence down there that
we have practically worn out
leaning against.
But anyway, everybody is
mighty glad they're back all safe
and sound.
