TRANsPLANTED EYELAsHEs.
Another Way In Which Art Improves
On Nature.

In Paris and London, where the idea
originated, there are specialists who
make a handsome living out Of the pro-
cess OF transplanting hair from the
head to the eyebrows or eyelashes. Only
the brave and rich can patronize the
new method al present, for besides be-
ing painful and costly. it takes a long
time to accomplish it.
The specialist works by putting In,
not on, the new eyelashes and eyebrows
wherever they are absent or grow thin,
and so cunning is he in his work that
not even the closest scrutiny can de-
tect any difference. BY means of the
new process, it is said, eyes which are
at ordinary times only passable become
llanguishing in their expression, while
eyes which were previously considered
fine have their beauty much enhanced
This is the way new eyelashes are
put in: An ordinary fine needle is
threaded With long hair, generally
taken from the head Of the person to
be operated upon. The lower border
of the eyelid Is then thoroughly clean
ed and in order that the process may
be as painless as possible, rubbed with
solution of cocaine. The operator
then, by few skillful touches, runs his
needle through the extreme edges of the
eyelid between the epidermis and the

LOOKING FORWARD.
Consul General Of Panama Talks About
the Canal.

THE Panama canal viii. be finished,
at the present rate Of progress, in less
than seven years." said Arnold Shank
lin, American consul general at Pan
anna city, Panama. when first went
to Panama, two years affo, the most
optimistic Of persons estimated that
the dirt would be removed for the big
ditch at the rate Of 100000 cubic
yards month. Those who suggested
this were looked upon as dreamers;
yet in the last two mont the dirt
has been flying at the rate Of 1,800,-
900, nearly twice as much as 1t was
thought possible to take out when the
work was actively begun. At this rate
the bed of the canal will be ready for
the installation of the locks and
dams in a little more than six years,
These dams, as is well known, will be
the largest ever constructed. It has
been estimated, I believe, that the
concrete to be used in the building Of
the dams would be sufficient to build
row of houses Of eight rooms each
stretching in a double line from New
York to Philadelphia.
II do not pretend to know whether
the work can be done better or faster
by contract than by the government;
but after watching the army Of men at
work cannot see how 1t would be
possible to do better or faster work.
At the Culebra cut three levels are be-
ing worked, and cars are hauling the
dirt away as fast as they can run. 1t
would not be possible, I believe, for
contractor to do any better. The Gull
ebra cut is fianked by two hills Of
about 500 feet each, one Of which,
tradition says, Balboa ascended when
he discovered the Pacific. At any rate,
1t Is called Balboa hill.
There has been wonderful i'm
provement in sanitary and social con-
ditions in Panama since work began
on the canal. Previous to the coming

had not made it's appearance. In the

sit on ones porch because of the mos
quitoes; now they are scarce enough to
| be almost a novelty. Hundreds of
young women who have gone to the
isthmus with their husbands and faith
ers have added much to the gayety of
the place, and this has led to more
enjoyable social conditions. From
barren, unattractive spot Panama has
become a modern, thickly settled, and
pleasant place to live."-Washington

ANNUAL COTTON CONVENTION
Big Meeting to Be Held at Dallas, Tex
as, February 1920.

The attention of the cotton growers
Of this and other states Is being called
to the annual convention Of the South
ern Cotton association, which will meet
at Dallas, Tex, February 18th and Goth.
1t Is not unlikely that this section of
the country and Of the south will have
q worthy representation. Important
facts about the meeting and the SUBJ
jects to be discussed are contained in
the following call, sent out by President
Harvie Jordan, Of the association, from
the headquarters at Atlanta, to a
prominent officer Of the organization in
Charlotte:
The regular annual convention Of
the, Southern Cotton association will
be held at Dallas, Texas, on February
10th and Goth. This will be one Of
the most important conventions to the
cotton growing and business interests
Of the south ever held in the history
Of the association. Subjects will be
discussed and addresses delivered on
every leading phase Of the cotton in
dustry.
THE welcome address on the part Of
the state Of Texas will be made by his
excellency, Governor T. NJ. Campbell.
Other principal speakers on leading
topics Of interest will be such well
known men as r. T. Millner, commits
sioner of agriculture of Texas; John L.

ton, Baton Rouge, La, and other men
of prominence and wide familiarity
with the questions which are now Of
vital Importance to the cotton grow
ing interests OF the south.
Questions pertaining to warehous-
Ing financing and marketing the cotton
crop will be fully discussed and steps
taken to improve existing methods and
conditions. Checking the credit system
and stressing the necessity for diver
sified agriculture are also questions OF
prime importance at this time. The en-
actment Of state and Federal laws
which will confine trading in our large
cotton exchanges to a strictly legiti-
mate basis Is a matter of vital import
ance at this time, and should receive
the attention of the best posted men In
the south. ,-
Large delegations should be pres
ept at the convention from every cot
ton growing state In the south. and
especially should the great state Of
Texas send hundreds Of representa-
tiyes. The people must rally and stand
for their rights II they expect to make
progress in the future marketing Of
their great staple crop. Farmers, bank
ers, merchants, manufacturers and all
lavocations In the south interested In the
fight the growers are making to main
tain good prices for the cotton crop. are
cordially invited to attend this conven-
tion whether they be members OF the
Southern Cotton association or other

hair thread in loops of carefully grad

another and another length Of hair is
sewed through the lid until finally there
are a dozen or more loops projecting.
BY this time the effect Of the cocaine
has been lost and the operator is OBJ
liged to desist and put off the further
Sewing Of hair for another sitting.
The next step in the process Is cutting
off and trimming the ends Of the loops,
and the result Is fine, thick, long set
of eyelashes. 1t Is the finishing touch
that Is to come that makes them look
like natures own. When they are first
cut they stick out in the most singular
fashion, giving the person operated up
on the most uncanny. look. The oper-
ator's next step Is to take curling tongs
made Of silver and no larger than knit
ting needles, and to give them the
curve which is essential to perfect
beauty. Then the eyes are carefully
bandaged and kept so until the follow
ing day. -.
Most of the hairs that have been
transplanted take root and grow, but a
few Of them fall out and have to be at
tended to. For the frat month it IL
necessary to curl the new eyelashes
every day. but after that they become
properly assimilated, and it is not nee
essary to give them any further atten-
ton. Eyebrows are doctored in the
same way, but there Is not so much
pain associated with the process as In
transplanting eyelashes.-Health

statement to the effect that a
member of the Ohio State Liquor
league had made a speech urging the
creation Of the drink appetite in boys
has appeared in a number Of papers
lately among others in the Saturday
Evening Post. Representatives OF the
liquor interests have vigorously denied
the statement in letters to the Post,
which is led, in its issue of January
25th to publish the affidavit Of the man
who heard the speech. The following
communication appears in the Post:
Editor of the Saturday Evening Post:
Dear Sir: / notice the liquor dealers
deny the statements which you pub
lished concerning their effort to create
an appetite for liquor among boys, and
herewith submit an affidavit OF the
man who heard the statements in ques-
ton. The affidavit Is in words and fig
ures as follows:
State Of Ohio, Ross County, IS.
Personally appeared before me, Will
bur G.. Hyde, notary public in and for
Ross county, one Robert Wallace, who,
being duly sworn according to law, de-
poses and says:
That on or about the fourteenth day
of February, in the year 1874 he was
present in Wirthwein's Hall, Columbus,
Ohio, at a meeting where representa-
tives Of the liquor dealers were present
discussing their plans
| At that meeting one Of the represen-
tatives of the liquor interests spoke on
matters Of interest to the saloon busi-
ness and it's success. He closed the
statement with substantially these
words:
The success of our business Is de-
pendent largely upon the creation OF
appetite for drink. Men who drink IL
ouor, like others, will die, and If there
Is no new appetite created our counters
will be empty, as we'll as our Golfers.
Our children will go hungry, or we
must change our business to that OF
some other more remunerative.
The open field for the creation OF
,appetite is among the boys. After men
have grown and their habits are formed
they rarely ever change In this regard
and 1 make the suggestion, gentlemen
that nickels expended in treats to the
boys now will return in dollars to your
tills after the appetite has been form
ed"
Affiant further says that he made a
record of the statement in his note pooR
at the time. Further deponent says

The affiant, r. H. Wallace, at the
time of said meeting in Wirthwein's

JUST WhaS 70 lney IninN OF iHoW-

The kings are In front just now.
They have been gaining upon the
statesmen in popular imagination for
some years, and at this moment few
speeches by cabinet ministers are read
with the interest attached to the care
fully worded utterances Of sovereigns
on their travels, and no actions are
studied so closely as their usually very
rapid movements. 1t Is difficult, as
one reads of their visits to each other,
and ponders the meaning Of their
friendliness. not to wonder little what
they think Of themselves.
Though so often in evidence, they
tell us very little about that, and the
world has to gather 1t up from obser-
yations not often accurate, nor always
Eeven keen. Do they really imagine, as
Is so often assumed, that they stand
between the statesmen and the higher
powers, holding in special charge the
safety Of their peoples? We may be
sure that they themselves reject the
cynical explanation that they must
reign by divine decree, for nothing else
could explain that fact of their reign
ing at all; but do they offer, in moods
of reflection and self communion, any
other explanation to themselves? The
German emperor. probably does, for,

exceptional ability, and fully the equal

His great rival in European dignity,
the Austrian kaiser, may also believe
that he is on his throne by the will OF
heaven, for with his descent from
Charlemagne, through the husband OF
Maria Theresa, he represents, In the
