LOCAL SCIENTIST
 WRITES OF COMET
SHOULD BE VISIBLE NOW
HALLEY'S COMET BEGINS TO- DAY TO RISE SHORTLY
 BEFORE THE SUN.

Halley's comet is interestingly de scribed by Prof. John I. Buchholz, associate professor of science in the State Normal, in the current number of the Normal Echo. According to his calculations the comet, beginning today, should be visible in the east ern sky shortly before sunrise. The paper, which is reproduced in full be- low, was written for publication the third week in March, and this date should be borne in mind in reading the article.

L'Anse Nine.
Local Boys Were on the Wrong End OF
a Nine to Eleven Score Last
Sunday at Cnassell.

Well, we'll, well. Chassell did it.
Done the L'Anse nine up last Sunday
to the merry strains of nine to eleven
score. Both teams were crippled by
the absence of a center fielder, but in
spite of this fact the game was inter-
esting from start to finish.
In the first part Of the game it look
ed as if it would be all Chassell, but
the L'Anse boys changed the attitude
Of the scorer by timely hitting, and
kept the lead until the latter part Of
the eighth inning, when the Chassell
nine started batting rally, necessitat-
ing the change Of pitchers.

Our photographer happened to have
a day off, took in the trip and secured
the following good likenesses of our
L'Anse boys. One picture shows Shea,
the heavy hitter, just before he went
to bat to strike out in the ninth. An
other shows Nilsen, our star second
basemen and the attitude he assumed
when guarding his sack. Another
shows Picard, catcher, who died on
second. His photo was taken as he
was tantalizing the first baseman. Ed
wards was snapped as he made futile
attempt to get on second in the first
inning.

rhubarb in the usual way and add the

A delicious strawberry salad is made
by combining the berries with a few

orange cut in quarters and freed from

pineapple and one or two lobes Of
grapefruit treated In the same way as

Dow to Secure Good Servants

FIRST try TO remember that servants
have feelings as well as yourself
When their work is done give them a
word of praise, so that they see that
you appreciate their efforts. and see 10
II that they have time to do their
mending and TO get out a little for a
change Of scene. Some mistresses do
not realize how dreary the common
round Of a domestic servant is.
Let your servant observe in your
conduct Just the qualities and virtues
that you would desire they should pos
sess and practice toward you.
Be liberal with food. Homework is
a very hungry calling. so don't grudge
your servants a share OF the various
dainties you press upon your family
and visitors.
Don't expect your servant to execute
half dozen errands for you when she
is out for her own pleasure. She
doesn't like il: neither does her sweet
heart.
Remember when engaging a maid
that you are making a contract. State
clearly the duties which you expect her
TO perform and in this way avoid con-
tention arising afterward from misun-
derstandings.
Show every kindness to your servant
but from the first be firm in correcting
things you dislike. Then she Will see
that you are mistress and not attempt
that undue liberty which later on is so
difficult to check

GET THE BYZANTINE HIPLESS
FIGURE

Byzantine Is the name for the new
figure. To be truly Byzantine you
must be truly hipless This means that
you must be so we'll shaped that you
can wear the thin, loose clinging stuffs
without looking odd in them. You
must be so slight that you will sway.
At the same time you must be plump
in your hands and arms and quite full
in the face. You can acquire this only
by the right kind OF exercise and diet.
For exercise walk long and persist
emily every day and eat parsley or let
tuce with salt on II, not dressing.
These greens act as brooms to the
stomach. To get the Byzantine figure
you must learn the polite art Of dress
ing correctly. To be sure you're prop
erly corseted try the Langtry. stunt
Lift your arms high. Open and close
your fingers. Bend until your finger
tips sweep the floor. Do this with your
corsets all laced for the day If you're
puffy or IL anything snaps or gives,
then you win know that you are not
properly dressed.

any particular purpose.
This is not just to the girl herself.
She arrives at the age of nineteen per-
haps without possessing that knowi-
edge which gives self reliance. There
is no eXaggeration in this statement.
More than one husband has said some-
thing to the following effect: BLESS

world, but she doesn't know a little bit
about making her allowance going a
certain way. Well. she will learn In

fore that time, and mothers are not do

yourself sufficient time TO think the

whether notice is to be given or not.

MUSINGS OF ELINOR HITE
FEED THE BRUTE.

ONCE upon a time a youthful bride
sought the counsel Of an expert
enced matron as to the best way Of re-
tanning the love and affection OF her
husband, and the elder woman replied
with epigramatic terseness. Feed the
brute"
There is far more in this advice than
appears on the surface. and # IS worth
while for every married woman TO con-
slider whether II would not pay her to
put the precept into practice.
A man, being intended 10 perform
harder work than a woman, Is eonsti-
tuted by nature to require more food
than she finds sufficient, and whenever
the two sexes are placed on rations the
doctors have decided that woman can
thrive on only two-thirds OF the quaint
~ that is necessary for a man.
Again, the early training has no
doubt something to do with il. for most
mothers make a distinction in the
quantity and nature of the food which
they give 20 their little sons and to
their daughters.
In the early days OF the world IL Is
said Jacob asked for savory meats that
he loved, and male human nature has
not altered much since his day except
to become more captious and critical
There are in man many things lack
ing which properly constituted woman
would like 10 see supplied and also a
great deal which she would be delight
ed 10 have eradicated, but there he is.
and such as he is we have to make the
best of him.
AS this is so. surely II is wisest on
the part OF femininity 10 keep the
brute" in a good temper even IL by
doing so they sacrifice some Of their
pet theories respecting diet, justice and
the rights OF the sex instead OF holding
| hard and fast TO their opinions. how
ever correct they may be. The latter
may only result in driving the man 10

souring a temper which from business
cares and heredity is very far from be-
/ ing angelic as IL is. Once again, I ad-
wise all women who are suffering from
the hundred and one troubles and vexa-
lions attendant upon the possession Of
| dissatisfied man to try the plan Of
feeding the brute" It's not new coun-
sci. but it works well every time.
