so, too, until we heard some of
the remarks of our neighbors
who had to shovel snow off the

 Vera.-Was there ever real "Bluebeard"?
 A. There is reason to suppose that Bluebeard was suggested to Perrault, the French author of the story, by the career of Giles de Laval, Seigneur
 de Retz. Born in France in 1896, he rose to eminence as soldier, becon- ing marshal of France. By lne iu- heritance of three estates he became
 the richest subject in France in 1432,
 and plunged into the life of crime and l wickedness which led to his execu- tion eight years later. His propensi- ty was not, however, to marry oue wife after another, but to decoy chil- | dren into his castles and murder them. The remains of forty-six vic tins were found at Chantoce and
 eighty at Machecoul. He was remem-
 bered with terror throughout France
 as "Barbe-bleue" (bluebeavd). -?-
 w. P.-Kindly tell me the mean ing of ''Saturnian reign" referred to
 in Longfellow's King Robert of Si-
 ely, and why the chant is printed in the Latin at the beginning and in English at the close?
 A. Saturnian pertains to the God Saturn, or to his reign, which is al-
 leged to have been the golden age. being distinguished for purity, in- | tegrity and simplicity. Saturn is
 popularly supposed to have appeared
 in Italy during the reign of Janus, and to have instructed the people in
 agriculture and gardening, thus ele- vating them from barbarian to so- | cial order and civilization. He be- l came identified very early with the Cronus of the Greeks. Ops, the per
 sonification of wealth and plenty.
 was his wife. Presumably the
 chant at the close is the translation,
 but not having the poem I cannot | be sure.

 What is the horoscope and birth stone of one born August z? A. Assuredly not. The idea is ab- surd. l have heard of pumice stone
 being used to remove hairs on the face, but doubt its desirability even for that. (2) Exercise of he right sort tends to reduce weight, but it might not be effective uEless taken intelligently. (3) Certainly, but it would ruin your hair. Probably you do not care to do this A dry sham poo is sometimes effective in remov- ing excess of oil.

BUILDING TRADES UNIONS CONFUSED
Delegate Complains That 1t Is Impossible to
Bring Sympathetic Strikes

There is great confusion among the unions IN
the building trades at the present time which Is
doing the unions harm. according to a delegate.
OF the fdggers' Union, In a statement which he
made at yesterdays meeting of the Central Fed
Grated Union. This. he said was because soma
of the unions were under the arbitration agree
ment OF the Building Trades Employers' Associa-
ton and the unions. while others were outside OF
Its provisions.
He had a specific complaint to make I'm reference
TO the employment OF non-unlon rtggers and
ooiiermakeTs at the Masonic Hall annex oath
street and Sixth avenue. All the other men on
the building. he said. belonged to unions affiliated
with the American Federation Of Labor vet II
was impossible to bring about sympathetic
strike He had applied for admission to the Con-
sohuated Board or business agents as a delegate
but his credentials refused on the ground
that riggers were doing the work OF helpers which
charge was being investigated.
h's union he said. at its next meeting would
formulate complaint against the unions which
had refused TO order the men on strike. to be
submitted to the American Federation of Labor
