Monument Marks the Spot Where
Washington Spurned a Crown.
Perched upon the brow of a hill,
about two miles southeast of Newburg
N. Y. stands a plain, unpretentious
rubble monument, erected by the His
torical Society of Newburg Bay, which
marks the site Of a building within
whose walls occurred one of the most
dramatic events Of American history.
In 1928 large part of the revolu-
tionary army was encamped In the
fields around this hill, under the COM
mand of Gen. Washington, who had
his headquarters for time In the Elli-
son house, at New Windsor, and later
in the Hasbrouck house at Newburg.
The building whose site is now marked
by the monument was sort of meet

of the officers and soldiers, called the
Temple.

YOUTHFUL GRAY HAIR.

A Hairdresser Gives Her View Of
Its Cause.
Have you noticed that so many
young women have gray hair nowa-
days?
Have I noticed it?' repeated the
woman hairdresser In scornful voice.

me tell you." she continued, 'lf it
wasn't for the enormous sale of hair
dyes, actually believe there'd be ten
times as many gray-halred women as
we see now. laugh often over the
regular announcements that women
have quit using hair restorers (Which
are usually dyes) and have decided that
gray hair is becoming. 1t is my ex-
perienee, In pretty extensive obser-
vation. that nine women out of ten
dread gray hair, and fight its approach
as they would a plague. Gray hair
makes anybody look older, and we all
know 1t. admit, 1t Is often charming,
and scftens face wonderfully, but 1t
adds years, all the same. When you

Not one observer In twenty-five reflects
that there is young woman with
white hair"
But there are great many?"
"Oh, dear yes. ! have plenty of pat
rons whose hair is gray at 25. The
reason of 1t is plain enough. Nervous
prostratlon, overwork, overexcitement,
worry, all those things are prime hair
bleachers. Women now try to learn
everything. And they are crowding
into professions. where they overtax
themselves. There isn't any need of 1t,
either. A woman can work every day
In the week, moderately, eat whole

The scalp must be kept healthy and

to have a tonic, something from the
doctor, to put her system In order, and
some local treatment from her hair.
dresser There are plenty of good, re-
liable hair tonics, which do not contain
a particle of coloring. Hair grows, you
know, from delicate bulbs or roots. 1t
is perfectnons to talk Of doing any
thing for the hair as long as these are
not In an absolutely healthy state.
'0h. WELL" said the doctor. zone rea-
son that so many young-faced, gray
haired women are seen is that 1t is a
popularity Of some nervous diseases
that they make people look younger. It's
fact. One Of my patients, who Is
suffering from nervous prostration, ap-
pears ten years younger than she real
ly is. The face Is relaxed, the muscles
are not tense, and the mind Is unim-
paired. The least exertion brings
spark to the eye and bright color to
the cheeks. At the same time the hair
becomes quite gray. In fact the wom-
an is old enough to have gray hair nat
urally, but she doesn't look 1t. In the
main, l think that women are becom-
ing gray earlier than they used to, and
l think 1t is caused by nervous strain"

How a String of Titles Influenced a
Head Waiter.
At the dinner given this week in this
city in honor of Henry A. Bishop, who
recently resigned as purchasing agent
of the New Haven Railroad to become
the head of railroad system in the
South, Samuel Fessenden, of Stamford,
former member of the national Repub-
lican committee, told a story of how
he and John NJ. Hall. president of the
New Haven road, obtained seats near
the table of King Edward VII. at Ham
burg last year.

Fessenden, "and learning that King

A very curious result of recent opera
lions by the Trigonometrical Survey In
india is the conclusion, stated by Major
Burrard, that there is, in the middle
of India, an underground, or buried
mountain range, thousand miles In
length and lying about parallel with
the chain of the Himalayas. This con-
cluslon Is based on the singularities of
the local attraction of gravtation in
central India, the plumb-line being de-
fiected southwark ON the north side Of
the supposed subterranean chain and
northward on the south side, leading to
the inference that a great elongated
mass of rock of excessive density un-
derlies the surface of the earth between
the two sets of observing stations.

Burmese Women and Glrls.

nation among whom women are public

and she has had perfect freedom to
