of Union City, who was in town yesterday.
He has recently returned from Oklahoma,
where he went on a business trip, leaving
for the Southwest a day or two after the
congressional convention at Union City, in
which he was defeated by George w.
Cromer. Mr.. Shockney does not look as
if he suffered from defeat. There is no
politics in the Eighth district, he re-
marked. 1T all got knocked out Feb. II.
when we nominated Mr.. Cromer. We are
all satisfied with the nomination, and will
give him at least the usual majority.
There is no soreness on the part of my
friends. They are not built that way-they
are Republicans. l think they are really

RUSH FOR PERMITS.
The Controllers Office Issues Twenty
for New Buildings.

Unusual activity was manifested by con-
tractors yesterday in taking out building
permits at the office of the city controller.
Ordinarily at this time OF the year there
are about six permits issued daily, some
times fewer, but yesterday there were
twenty issued. Deputy Controller Bogard-
us ascribes the large number to the fact
that yesterday was a particularly fine day
and was a harbinger Of spring. The con-
tractors, he said. probably realized that
settled weather is fast approaching when
extensive building operations may be COM
menced.
Owners of vehicles, according to the dep
uty controller, are not manifesting the
same alacrity in complying with the law.
He SAYS that the office is considerably be-
hind on vehicle licenses as well as milk
licenses, and that if the record is not COM
plete by April l all persons delinquent will
be. prosecuted.

The skin can be injured quickly. and 1t

the steam breathed into the lungs is also

Why not try an amateurish way of
steaming the face? Wet long strips of
linen in boiling water. Drag them out Of
the water, run them through wringer as
quickly as you can, and apply the strips
of hot cloth to the face. You can, with
the aid Of an assistant, wind the strips
around the head in such a manner as to
cover the forehead, the cheeks, the
mouth, and the crows feet and rabbit
claws that come around the ears and
nose Cover all well and let steam. Re-
peat the operation. The cloths will cool
IN the wringing sufficiently to heat the
face without sealding. When the face
has been we'll steamed the first part Of
your work Is done.
There is no need Of trying to use pow

The powder will surely show upon the

and wet the face with it. Take off with

so that no two people could go to the
bottom wrapped in each others arms and
stay there in that position. Dickens did
not stop to think of this fact when he
killed Bradley Headstone and Rogue
Riderhood.
'"The best way to make rescue Is to
swim on your back. holding the other
person on his back, and with his head
about the middle Of your body. This
gives you hand free, and you have
your arm in such a position that he can
not interfere with your movements by
grabbing your legs.
Everybody has heard the tale that
drowning man comes to the top three
times before going down forever. That
superstition Is as widespread as that
about the bottomless pond which every
nefghbor boasts, and has about as
little foundation in fact. man may go
down once and never come up again, or
he may come up more than three times.
It all depends on the vitality of the IN

Art in German Railway Building.

In the general plan, equipment and ap-
plication of electric power to the working
Of the new electric underground and ele-
waited railways in Berlin, little is present
ed which can be regarded as novel or es-
pecially suggestive. The one respect in
which the German constructors leave
others far behind and offer an object
lesson worth careful study, is in the ar
tistic beauty. the architectural charm
and sense Of fitness which they have i'm
parted to the stations, the bridges, and
even the ordinary overhead viaduct sec
tions Of the new road. In Germany the
requirements of puplic taste are never
permitted to be neglected or forgotten.
Where the new Berlin line passes through

art of making up to limited extent, suf-

to highten her natural beauty. In spite
of worry she has found time to do this.
The outlining Of the eyebrows is done

A woman cannot stop just because you
tell her to do so. Worry is a habit, and
one that cannot be broken up. The wor-
rying woman will be worrying woman
all her days.
But there are ways for woman to pre-
vent the worry from showing on her face
means by which the Enes which worry
brings can be obiterated.
There are women who worry and do not
have wrinl1led either. The woman whose
skin presents an appearance of youthful
bloom is never too busy in spite of her
cares and worries but what she finds time
for her daily complexion bath.
And to this she owes all the freshness
of her beauty.
