ROUND CENTERPIECES

Round centerpieces seem to be in as
great demand as ever for use on din
ing tables after the cloth has been re-
moved.
There are also numerous ways in
which the embroidered centerpiects
can be used aside from dining-room
purposes
Colored embroidery is to be more
prominent this season than for a num-
Der of years, for some purpose taking
the place of the all-white embroidery

VIoIin as a Lair Restorer.

1t is now scientifically proved fact
that music exercises a great influence
on the growth of the hair. II Is with
good reason that great musicians, such
as Paganini, Liszt, and Paderewski,
are represented with growth of hair
which Absalom might have envied.
Science has proved that stringed IN
struments have a favorable influence
on the growth Of the hair. while brass
instruments act in the opposite direc-
ton. Everybody has probably observed
that a bald violinist is as rare as a
bald horn player is common. Wood
instruments, such as the flute, seem 20
have no pronounced influence either
way.

There were some funny answers
given to questions in a teachers ex-

ENCOURAGING VIEWS.

James ]. Hills assertion that there
will be more grain of all kinds
throughout the northwest and the west,
as conditions stands today. than there
was last year." is a cheering note that
harmonizes with statements of other
men who are in a position to get a
broad view of conditions which proph-
esy improved business conditions in the
near future. 1t is too early. of course,
to feel sure as to all of the results Of
the harvest throughout the country. In
agriculture as in every other line of
enterprise there is many a slip be-
tween the cup and the lip?" but the
outlook Is very good. and there is every
reason for graduation notwithstanding
the small chances which still exist for
a reversal of conditions.
Mr.. Hills view comedies with the ex-
pectations of Chairman Knapp of the
interstate commerce commission, who
declared recently that another car
shortage is not improbable within a
few months. He says his advices from
railroad men generally are to the effect
that business is gradually improving
anu liic huIuDcT Ol lOle cars ana lOCO-
motives is steadily decreasing. The
handling of the crops Is a work of the
near future, although 1t has already
been begun in a small way. But when
1t is on in full blast still more railroad
rolling stock will be called into service,
until every wheel is in motion, and
things so far as railroad activity is
concerned will be where they were be-
fore the pause set in last fall.
AS to the effect Of this squirt, Mr.
Knapp Is optimistic. He says that the
rush of business will find much rail-
road equipment below the standard,
and that efforts to put things in pro-
per condition will mean work for many
hands now idle. Then, after the heav-
lest part of the rush Is over, it will
develop that during the period of idle
ness the railroads have been getting
along with the least possible expendi-
ture for maintenance and repair of
trackage and there will have to be
catching UP in every department to
meet the demands Of reviving trade. The
inspiriting effects of revival of this
kind would be widespread and highly
beneficial and it therefore is to be hoped
that Mr.. Hills expectations will be
realized and Mr.. Knapp's predictions
fulfilled, although much inconvenience
stock. The shipper will not be easily
irritated, however, IL business picks up
as 1t seems bound to.

GLOBE SIGHTS
From the Atchison Globe. ]

Old fashioned people never refer to
a woman whose husband Is dead as
Mrs. Soandso. They always say "the
widow Soandso."
1t can be told whether a man. is
talking to a woman over the telephone
by the number of times he says good
by, and tries to quit.
When a married woman reads a
love story, the hero as she mentally
pictures him doesn't bear the slightest
resemblance to her husband.
A friend is a man who tells you
when you are drowning that If you
had taken his advice, you would have
learned how to swim long ago.
Women who have had experience
will tell you it is more trouble to pre-
pare a picnic dinner than the civilized
kind, even If it isn't as good.
man who owns a $3.50 automo-
bile is apt to think that II he should
go to New York, the members OF the
Four Hundred would admit him with
out further question.
When two sisters are together, and
one is married and the other not, it
is easy to pick out the Spin: She has
a look as If she had misplaced some
thing and was trying to recall where
she had it last.
When a girl goes to stay with an
other girl all night, and is what is
called ''finicky.' she takes her night
dress, her towel, her wash rag, tooth
brush, comb, manicure set, complexion
wash, and the Lord only knows what
else beside. All boy takes Is his hat.
