It Is very delightful to see the trend
of modern hair dressing, which is re-
turning to real beauty and following
the lines of nature-a pleasing change
Ttfter the deformities that Fashion has
capriciously demanded, and to which
our eyes have almost become SO accus-
toned that we have lost sight of the
deplorable lack of beauty in the swol-
len outlines of women's coiffures. A
glance at our illustration show a lovely
style of hair dressing recalling the Gre
clan manner of keeping the general
shape of the head, and softly punching
the long hair at the back, where it
looks like hair and does not suggest a
deformed skull. At the same time, the
hair is allowed full play. and to take
lovely waves and turns over the head.
The Illustration suggests many simple
styles which may be adopted n which
will always look absolutely natural and
becoming.
Dear Madame Alta:
Is there anything harmless o coul
tell me of to remov hair from my
arms? As the summer is near l would
like to wear short sleeves. You will
oblige A DISCOURAGED GIRL.
The frequent use of peroxide of hy-
drogen will bleach the hair upon the
arms, and If used with equal parts OF
ammonia will destroy the constitution
of the hail and in time prevent its
growth. 1 could give you formulas that
contain chemicals, but their use would
be very severe.
Dear Madam Alta:
I have been trying to darken a child's
" hair, which is red. Will you kindly
tell me If there is any danger of using
a LIQUID that contains ammonia?
CONSTANT READER.
Do not use ammonia IN the hair I'M
less you want to ruin it's growth. Red
hair Is considered very beautiful, but
if you want to change it's color take
two ounces of sag tea n two ounces
of green tea and add to two quarts of
water. Boil in an iron pot until it is
reduced to one quart. Strain int apply
the liquid to the hair every night with
the hair brush until the desired color is
obtained.

horse and took him before the kaid. or
Judge.
'eThe horse is mine" sturdily insist

In vain the other argued, and the
kaid was about to give his decision In
favor of the villain when Yosouf adj
vanced suddenly, threw his cloak over
the horses head and demanded Of his
enemy:
Since you own the horse, tell the
kaid in which eye the animal is blind. =
"In the left" said the thief, making

Yosouf looked toward the kaid tri-
umphantly. Hes blind in neither

So the noble horse came into its
rightful owners possession again, and

This oak, good tree of perhaps 200

The dogs Of war" Is not mere fig
ure OF speech. In remote times dogs
were used for war purposes. Plutarch
and Pllny relate many instances. e.,
Of AgesIlaus at the siege Oh Mantinea,
Of cambyses in his expedition to Egypt,
Of the king Of the Ceromautians in re-
gaining his throne. Aeneas 600 B. c.
tells Of dogs that carried letters In their
collars; also the Cimbrians and Teutons
kept dogs. These, however, were fight
Ing dogs, justly dreaded by the Roman
soldiers.
The Roman military author Vegetius
reports that dogs were psed In the for
tilted towers to make known by their
barking the approach OF the enemy and
to keep the garrisons awake; also dur
Ing the middle ages war dogs were
used for guarding camps ana bulwarks
Scotch bloodhounds were specially re-
puted for tracking escaped prisoners.
They were also used for attacking the
enemy's cavalry, mutilating the horses
with the prongs and hooks OF their
coats Of mail To these coats flrepots
were attached, which set the camps on

fight OF Swiss dogs against Burgundlan
dogs. and at Murten the Burgundiau
dogs were dismembered by their ad-
versaries from the Alps II is said that
after the discovery of America war
dogs slaughtered not less than 1000
Indians.
The employment Of dogs tor fighting
PURPOSES continued In modern times.
Emperor Charles V. Q51B-155G re-
ceived from England 1000 dogs as
subsidiary forces against France. At
Valence French and Spanish dogs
Joined battle, in which the latter re-
mained yictors. AS late as In the sew
enteenth century war dogs were used
as scouts against the Turks. In 1922
an assault on the Acropolis of Athens
by the Greeks was frustrated by dogs
The French employed dogs in Tunis
against Arabian tribes. In Mexico in
1854 the dogs or the Zaccateca volun-
teer corps proved the most terrible ad-
versaries OF the Mexican guerrillas
until they were got rid Of by poison.
In the last Turko-Russlan war QS77-
1873 the Russians employed war dogs
both In Europe and In Asia. The
Austrians and Hollanders also used
trained dogs successfully to protect
themselves against being surprised by
the enemy and to find their adver-
saries In the impenetrable thlckets.
Today the dog Is no longer employed
as a fighter. He is trained to carry
ammunition to the battlefield, to guard
the outposts, prevent skirmishers from
stealing at too close range. forward
