Completing Figure s.
High in Air.
(National News Association

Hampstead, n. Y, Aug. Miss
Harriet Qulmby was awarded a pilots
license today by the Aero Club OF
America, the governing body OF aero
nautics in this country. This is the
first license that has ever been award
ed TO a woman aviator in America
Miss Quimby flew in Moissant
monoplane entirely an American pro-
duct. This is also the first time the
Aero club has awarded a license to
an American built monoplane.
Conditions could not have been
more perfect when Miss Quimby start
ed out TO comply with the difficult con-
ditions to the Aero club. She rose
gracefully in the air, completing five
figure Fights about fifty feet in the
air and then landed not only within
the 164-foot mark designated by the

EARLY ADJOURNMENT
IS NOW PREDICTED
Congress to Get Together ard
Confer on Reduction
on Raw Wool.
palladium Specially

Washington, Aug. Congress m ct
today on condition which indicates
an adjournment before the end of tine
next week. The last vote under the IN
animous consent agreement will be Ia
ken Monday next. 1t Is believed that
the questions in dispute between the
two houses can be adjudged In the
week ending August IL. A decision of
the house leaders TO ask for confer
ence on the wool bill has served to
clear the atmosphere.
Representative Underwood today
advised the senate leaders to agree to
let the wool bill remain in conference
until December. He will not insist on
that, but he says he has reason to be-
lieve that the report of the tariff board
will recommend duties made on the
basis OF 90 per cent on raw wool. Ger
tainly less than 80 per cent which is
the basis of compromise suggested by
the senate. The senate leaders are not
disposed TO agree TO this II the com
promise is reached.
The duties on raw wool will be be
low 80 per cent II is said Some SEN
ate Democrats have proposed % pei
cent. Underwood says that it must be
lower than that If 27h per cent were
adopted as the basis of compromise
It would be just half way between the
senate, or La Toilette bill. But it is
doubtful II the senate would ratify any
duties lower than 80 per cent. 1t was
with great difficulty that the senate
was made to agree to 30 per cent
While the La Toilette carries 80 pei
cent, II was well understood that the
s per cent was for trading purposes

Thu Athletic Girl.

The athletic girl has finally discov-
cred that to show her sporting spirit
she need not necessarily sacrifice her
good looks aud feminine charm.
She soothes her sunburn. She nurses
the corns from her hands caused by
rowing and tennis. She keeps her hair
glossy and in good color by constant
rubbing of the scalp and application OF
a good tonic.
She remembers that a sea bath is in
MIGRATING, but that for cleansing pur.
poses the tub must not be entirely
omitted.
In short, she takes even better care
of herself during the vacation than she
does in winter in order to make the
best use she can Of the life giving
breezes and untrammeled life in the
open.

OF Interest To The Women
how TO IN.


Do not acquire sunburn IN single
blistering, which turns you as red as
q lobster and makes you suffer from
smart for days. That kind Of burn
coarsens the skin. often permanently.
The becoming healthful tan is acquir-
ed gradually by an outdoor life, it is
true, but without going hatless in the
hot sun or bathing the face in salt
water.
You will find that the real country
girls whose compilations you admire
never are so foolish as to fade their
hair and scorch their faces in a July
sun. Sunburned hair Is even more I'M
becoming than glowing face, and,
besides, that sort of exposure dries the
hair too much.
Go hatless all you can, but not when
the sun is scorching hot. Do not, how
ever, wear heavy hat. Select light
wide brimmed affair which will admit
the air to the scalp. but temper the
suns rays.

Carry bag with cold cream, sun
burn and freckle lotions, powder and
absorbent cotton. tooth powder. alco-
hol lamp and mirror.
One can use this bag as an emergen'
cy chest and add a small case of med
icines, disinfectants and bandages.
You will not find the bag burden
On the contrary, you will thank your
self many times for its possession be

THE, COST OF LIVING.

The real cost of living is not reckon
ed in dollars and cents-it's paid for
in physical energy and the compensa
ton is in physical and mental com
fort. Many women do not enjoy life
because they are overworked. Con
sequently, labor saving devices are
the most welcomed of all inventions
Prominent in this class is Hewitt's
white Easy Task soap,-for kitchen
and laundry use. 1t does half the
work itself. kills the germs, does no.
harm the hands or fabrics, and make:
an easy task of household drudgery.

It is most satisfactory to fit out a
small satchel which can be easily car

fasten a piece of wide ribbon or tape
down one side Of the bag to hold the
bottles in place and wedge them in
with soft paper.
Each bottle should have tight cork
