Etiology of the ..Rum Blossom"

In a recent address before the
New York State Medical Society DR..
L. Duncan Buckley, one of the lead
ing specialists on skin diseases, dis
cussed the very interesting and i'm
portant question of the effect of al
cohol on the skin. Briefly summed
up, his conclusions were that taken
internally in any considerable amount
alcohol tends to weaken the resisting
power of the skin, as well as the rest
OF the body, to infection; that in
many diseases of the skin Its effect Is
bad; but that applied locally as a
wash or dressing or disinfectant 1t
might be useful. The common al
coholic beverages, he said, differed
very considerably in their pathology
cal effect. from which, it seems fair
to assume, that other substances play
part in the result.-New YCfk

road. He is also the owner of the
only automobile in Smyrna, ma
chine which he imported from Switz-
erland two years ago, but about the
only place he can use it with any de-
gree of enjoyment at least is on his
own road between Smyrna and Bour-
nabat. I am also informed that a
second road is being built by him,
in the same way, to connect the two
suburban towns of Cordelio and Bour-
nabat. 1t is therefore self-evident
that the condition of the public roads
in this part of Asia Minor will always
initiate against the use of the auto
mobile in these parts, and it is ex-
tremely unlikely that this country
will ever offer market for these
machines.
The general makeup of Turkish
cities and towns also acts as an OBJ
stacle against the introduction of au-
tomobiles. The streets, apart from
being narrow and winding, are paved
with cobblestones and are extremely
rough. This primitive pavement is
gradually being replaced by flag
stones, with which all principal
streets are now being laid. Unfor-
tunately the preparation of the road
bed prior to laying the flags is so in
sufficient that within six months a
newly paved street is practically in
need of repair. 1t is hardly to be
hoped that conditions in the road and
street line will soon change in Tur-
key.

Turkish Public Roads.

Consul E. L. Harris, writing from
Smyrna, describes the roadways of
Asiatic Turkey and difficulties they
present for motoring, as follows:
The public roads in this vilayet are
in a bad condition. Generally speak
ing, road building in this part of Tur-
key is not in an advanced state, and
but little attention is paid to it. Large
appropriations are made from time
to time by the Government for the
purpose of building highways in GER
tain parts of the country. Good roads
are often built with this money, but
no appropriations are made to keep
them in repair after they have once
been laid out. Some twenty years
ago a splendid road was built from
Observation-Disclosures to Sokia.
About the time this road was COM

in the mop-wringer attachment de-
signed by Colorado man.
BY means of this device the yarn
end of a mop may be squeezed COM
paratively dry by the mere turning of
a crank. At the bottom Of the handle
is a wringer device, consisting of two
parallel wire frames operated by a
strong spring. One end of the mop
is placed in the jaws of the device.
and by turning the handle, which OPP
crates the wheel, the yarn is drawn
through the wires like clothes through
a clothes wringer. The advantage Of
being able to squeeze most of the
moisture out of a mop to make 1t
damp, instead of dripping, is we'll
known. This cannot be done salts

device for that purpose is an attach.

One of the old customs which has
never been changed in the launching

to bring good luck to the vessel and

in two-by-four rooms, with no closets,
the advantage of the invention here
presented looms large. In the first
place there is grooved bracket, with
hooks by which it may be quickly
screwed fast to the wall A shelf
hinged to the bracket fits into the
groove and along the bracket under
the shelf, and on the bottom of the
shelf are rows of hooks on which to
hang clothing. Depending from the
shelf and inclosing the clothing is a
large bag which effectually protects
the garments from the dust and other
dirt that is bound to accumulate.
