POETIC MASTERPIECE
Gosthss Faust Comes Down to Us From an
Historic AGE.


Hidden away In a maze OF tradition
is the legion Of Faust, but the poet
Goethe took the most salient portions
OF the legend and wrote his master
piece thereirom. The mountains Of
Germany reek with wierd tales OF
witches, hobgoblins aud other eerie
folk. With such material at hand, II
is no wonder that Faust is portrayed
as bartering his soul TO the evil one,
Ia return for certain number OF years
of youthful ylgor.
That the poem is one OF the best Of
It's aye is proven by the fact that II has
been brought down 10 us almost as II
was written ia the Middle Ages. The
heroine Marguerite is as lovable a
character and II Is her innocent beauty
that lmpsls Faust to sell his soul TO
win her. Despite this sordid aspect, IA
tale OF love Is told that appeals ire
slstibly to the youth and his maiden
fair and also to the grandslre and his
worthy dame.
With II years experience In the role
Of Mephls,o, Hubert Labadlecan point
with pride TO the fact that his presen-
tations have been crowned with success
ever since the evening OF his initial
performance Ia the CITY OF the Straits.

HOW TO BE COOL.

IT'S a mistaken idea that the best
thing 10 do to cool off on a hot day is
TO drink something cold" said a we'll
known physician. There is the pleas
ant sensation, OF course, OF hearing the
clink Of cracked ice in the glass. and one
may easily imagine he is being cooled
but just the opposite is the truth. To nj
the stomach heats the blood. and you
are warmcst when your blood is heated
THE best thing I know OF 10 cool you
on torrid day Is to take a cool shower
bath or a cold plunge. There Is nothing
so cooling TO the blood as cold water
taken externally and while you will
eventually get warm again, nevertheless
YOU will be comfortable for several
hours as the result OF dip
cold salt water is more cooling than
cold fresh water, although I'm the city
there Is not much difference as an arti-
fetal salt bath Is not I'm the same class
with a dip I'm the ocean. For those who
are unable TO take the time for a cold
bath In the middle OF the day there is
another stunt although this is not
nearly so effective. But cold water run
on the pulse of either arm is "A very good
way of cooling the blood. Also II the
temples are bathed In cold water the en-
tire body will feel more comfortable as

THIS STATE FORTUNATE.

Rhode Island is would seem, has Jared much
better than most OF the other New England states
recently and a result it is not suffering from a
shortage in the supply of water that in some other
commonwealth is just now very serious problem.
The crops in Maine, New Hampshire Vermont
and Massachusetts suffering severely from the
bghting effects OF drought, and several cities and
towns are confronted by the possibility of water
famine because of the rapid depletion OF the supply
in their reservoirs while chiefs OF fire departments
are perturbed by the essenng OF the water pres
sure.
The rivers OF New Hampshire reported to
be at the lowest level reached during the present
Season and farmers have been compelled TO trans
port water for their stock from a considerable dis
tance. However, il docs not appear that any Of
the mills have been forced to suspend operations on
account OF low water in the streams.
Perhaps the most serious situation is that in
Vermont As result OF the drought there the
water supply Of the city OF Barre has been greatly
reduced, the Orange Brook reservoir having
reached such a low level that ii was deemed neces-
Sary to shut it off, the city taking its supply for
the present from the Bolster reservoir.
There have not been as many showers in
central and western Massachusetts as in the COM
munities along the coast, but farmers have suf-
fered much less than have those in Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont.
However, many of the small streams are so low
that manufactures along their banks have expert
enced such difficulty in continuing operations.
For the present summer season at least, Rhode
Island appears to have been the spot in New Eng
land specially favored by nature.

COURT TO DEFINE LADY"

What is a lady? This often mooted
but never settled question will be def
nitely answered by the naval court mar
tial which is 10 try Lieut.. Dunn on the
serious charge Of having entertained
notorious woman aboard the training
ship Independence.
According to the charges. the woman
who was Lieut.. Dunns guest Is well
known 20 be OF immoral character. The
lieutenant however asserts that she is
a perfect lady and sets up his right as
an officer and a gentleman 10 receive a
lady on the quarter deck.
From all accounts IL will not be i'm
possible 20 prove that the woman in
question has a very shady past. but will
that be sufficient to support a finding
that she Is not a lady?
But. IL is urged. Lieut.. Dunn's COM
panion was tipsy and uttered profane
language Is this then the test OF lady
hood? Does a lapse into inebriety or the
uttering Of profanity bar a woman from
being classed as n lady?
These are interesting questions, and
the Judgment OF the court martial will
be awaited with impatience. and. IL may
be. some anxiety. The officers compos-
ing IL will have need OF all their tact and
social knowledge. for II would never do
