WHEN JOHNSON HELPED FRYE
New Maine Senator Was Hotel Clerk
and Found Quarters for the
Statesman.

When Senator Charlie johnson
of Maine took the arm Of his
feeble Republican colleague the
other day in the senate and
marched up to the clerks desk
there was in his mind the thought OF
another meeting between them years
ago. The new Democratic senator told
about 1t afterward when seated in his
large ONCE across the way from the
Capitol.
In his earlier days just as he was
getting through college Johnson taught
school. He was home from term OF
teaching and over at Waterville met
Jim Withee Of the old Elmwood hotel.
Want job, CharIe?" said Jim.
II certainly do was the reply.
Well. need a night clerk at the
Elmwood. Come over and try IT,"
which the future senator did. He had
been on the job but few days when
the late evening train brought crowd
OF guests. Some pushed to the front
and got the best available rooms, and.
when William p Frye signed his name
there were no good quarters left.
"Awfully sorry. senator" said Night
Clerk Charlie Johnson. I'VE have no
rooms such as you ought to have.
There's a suite, however, which we
keep reserved for the proprietor OF
the wooden mills. l believe I'll take
ia chance on putting you in there"
And 80 1t came about that the fu-
lture Democratic senator from Maine
gave his future Republican colleague
the best quarters in the house. Bos-

Joy for maiden and for man.

LXxxI. HEAD LINES COURSE.

Although the normal course of the
Head line is in a more or less straight
direction across the palm toward the
upper Mount of Mars, there are man
variations from this path. The most
usual departure is when the line slopes
down toward\the Mount of the Moon.
This indicates a greater or less de-
gree of Imagination, according to the
length OF the line.
Sometimes the line Is very short and
turns up toward the Mount of Saturn.
This is not a desirable marking. Not
only does the shortness of the Head
line indicate a meagre quantity of
gray matter" but 1t also shows that
the Saturnian qualities dominate the
phalanx is longer than the third and
the color and other C~heirognomic mark
ings are good, the chances are very
greatly against the likelihood that the
possessor of such a Head line will prove
to be a desirable citizen.
If the Head line runs toward the
Noun of Apollo it is both quantitative-
ly and qu~alitatively Ito use the
phraseology of the chemists) a vast
improvement over the preceding line.
Note which phalanx rules and you will
be able to say whether a person with
this line to Apollo is attracted by pure
ly artistic love for whatever is beauti-
full or by whatever may be convertible
into dollars by a judicious exploitation
of artistic instincts, or, finally Of thu
third phalanx predominates), whether
he is not merely an epicure and lover
of display and of artistic extravagance.
If the Mount of Mercury is the OBJ
jective point Of the Head line money
will be the fetish before which it's pos
SCISSOR will bow. No matter which pha-
anx rules cash will have to enter into
every transaction of his life in order to
gain from him the proper need of in
terest and appreciation.
il the Head line. in turning upward,
merges into the Heart line it will be
a serious indication. Showing, as it
does, that the heart has exerted so
powerful an attraction as to have rem
dered the head subject to its dictates
in everything, 1t makes 1t very prob
lematical what the outcome Of the ca
reer of such a person will be.
Many palmists read such a marking
as indicative of criminality, and the
reason Is because the feelings are SO
far in the lead that when temptation
comes reason will be utterly submerged
beneath the flood of passions that
awake and hold tumultuous sway.

To Develop the Bust

To Beauty Editor: I am so ashamed of my
thin bust that | want TO ask you IL there is
any harmless way to develop it. MY hips and
the rest ~ my body are right for the present
STYLES and l do not want them any larger but
my bust is 20 fiat that l would try anything
that gave hope of even three or four more
inches development. MARY S.
The only thing / know of that will develop
the bust without increasing the size Of the
hips, or without putting on flesh where not
needed, Is a prescription put up by the Or.
Kelly Co. especially for small and unde-
veloped breasts. 1t is the discovery of a
woman physician whose practise was largely
among her own sex and in most cases in
oreases the bust measure four to six inches In
a month. Send I0c to the DIR. Kelly Co., Dept.
4O3 F. A., Buffalo, N. y, and they will send
you a trial package Of the treatment without
charge. This is said to be of great value in
cases of arrested development of the bust and
will give a full, beautiful form without anyone
knowing that the treatment was used,
Many mothers have told me that after the
baby had been weaned the breasts became
habby and shrunken, but the use OF DIR.
Kelly's prescription made them full and firm.
Do not use pads or bust forms, as they never
look natural and have a bad effect upon the
general health. Neither would ecomme
ordinary flesh builders or tonics. ms they in
crease the hips and limbs and with the pres
emit styles the form should be slender every
where except a gen u ously developed bust.

pOLYDORE QUESTION BOX.

Question-In one of your articles you
say that a chained Heart line indi-
Gates an irregular heart action. A
friend of mine, whom l know to have
a very irregular heart action, has no
such chained Heart line. / should
think this would prove how little re-
lance can be placed upon palmistry.
OBSERVER.
Answer--Have you ever observed the
show window of an exchange banker?
AS a rule the window contains a dis
play of money of many denominations.
The fact that the money is in the
window is a proof that the bank has
assets to at least that extent.
But it sometimes happens that the
same bank does not show it's money
in the window. This is likely to be at
night and on Sundays.
What then? Is it logical to conclude
from the absence of the money in the
show window hat the bank has no
money? The chances are that at such
times it's money is in it's safe.
And so, likewise, in regard to health
or moral indications that are read
from lines and other markings in the
hands. When the marking is visible
it is an indication OF the presence of
some quality, good or bad, which the
marking has by long experience been
discovered to typify. But the fact that
the marking is absent does not there
fore mean that the person may not
have the good or bad quality anyway.
Irregular heart action may be told
not only from the chained Heart line
but also from blue color in the palms
or showing through the nails. 1t may
also be shown by markings on the
Mount of Apollo.
But assuming that there is nothing
at all to show that a person has such
or such a defect. why should this mill
tate against the usefulness of palms.
try? The ability to tell you from the
markings your hand shows what you
have Is surely a splendid enough
qualification to challenge admiration
wen though a palmist be unable to
fathom the things that do not mani
fest their existence by external mark
ings.
Indeed, there is no science under the
sun which can do more than tell from
certain symptoms what those symp-
toms indicate. A disease may be gnaw-
ing at the vitals of a person and a
doctor never know of it unless there
is some symptom to give him warning
of the presence of the disease.
And lines and other markings in the
hand are the symptoms by which
palmistry forms its judgments.

To Protect Trees.

Dear Miss Doom:
Would you kindly let me know what
to do to keep ~caterpillars and insects
from getting into our treeP Every
year before the summer is half over
our tree is almost bare. Thanking you
in advance, l remain
A CONSTANT READER.
Buy a quantity of tanglefoot at a
paint or seed store and coat the trunk
of the tree for five or six feet from the
sground. A palette-knife is the most,
convenient thing to use to apply the
tanglefoot. This is a sticky substance,
which holds the c%aterpillars and beetles
fast as soon as they attempt to CLIMB
tho tree. Eggs nay be lodged upon
the leaves, and when these hatch the
insects will their work OF
destruction. In order to prevent this
spray tho foliage with arsenate of lead
Ca paste) dissolved in water. If you
do not care to purchase a sprayer you
may spray the tree by using a whisk-
broom. Dip it in the solution ana
cover the leaves as far up the tree as
possible. The arsenate of lead solution
is d Stlcky S~upSldnSe' WHICH, "h0h ~
has set, adheres to the leaf, even
through rain, remaining in good con-
dition for six or seven weeks. AT the
end of this time the tree should receive
another spraying. Start the treatment
at once before the caterpNIars and the
beetles, the only leaf-eating insects.
make Roadway, Your concern about
the tree is commendable and l wish
you success. Why don't you apply to
the Shade Tree Commission at the City
Hall for printed matter on the care OF
trees? l think the commission will be
glad to supply you with n litera-
ture on the subject they have for dis
tribution.

1924 child's Dress, 2, 4 and 6 years.

Little children are wearing a great
many dresses that give a panel effect.
This one is smart and attractive in the
extreme. but quite simple. In the
illustration it is made of handkerchief
linen trimmed with lace banding and
edging, but the dress can be made
available for many different materials.
For morning and playtime wear Ores
den dimities and spotted lawns are
liked and. made from one of these, the
dress would be extremely attractive.
For afternoon occasions embroidered
muslins and fine lawns of all kinds are
in demand. Trimming can be applied
as liked. In place of the four rows of
banding ear be used one or two, or the
full portions of the dress can be left
plain, finished only with a hem. A
pretty effect can be obtained by EN-
broidering the panel with some dainty
design. The square neck is pretty and
very generally becoming, but high neck
and long sleeves could be used, if pre-
ferred. The lower edge of the full
| portion is straight. consequently bord-
cred material or ~founcing could be
used, or the edge could be finished with
hemstitching. The skirt portion made
from embroidered f1ouncing with panel
and yoke of all-over embroidery would
mean an extremely attractive little
dress.
For the 4-year size will be required
8 yards of material q inches wide, pa

with 10Y yards of banding and 3 yards
of edging.

Care of the Hair.

Dear Miss Doom:
Kindly let me know how to get the
stain of sticky hy-paper out of a dark
blue, cotton wolfe dress, the stain being
from last year. and how to get the
stain of green paint out of white lawn
embroidery? Also how. to remove dan
druff from the head. Hoping to get an
early answer, l remain
a CONSTANT READER.
Apply chloroform to the spot with
clean white linen or lawn, rubbing It
gently until the ehloroform evaporates.
The same treatment will remove the
green paint. Dandruf shows a dis
eased condition of the scalp. Massage
the scalp ten Dr. fifteen minutes every
night and morning and brush the hair
thoroughly, making sure that tho
brush is perfectly clean. You may keep
the bristles free from dirt by dipping
the brush in alcohol. Do not leave it
on a dresser where it can accumulate
the dust particles from the air and
transfer them to the scalp when used
The following formula has been recon-
mended as a shampoo: Yolk of one
egg, one pint of rainwater (warm).
one ounce of rosemary spirits. Beat
the mixture thoroughly and use 1t
warm, rubbing it well into the scalp.
Rinse in several waters. Rub the fol-
lowing solution into the scalp every
night: Tincture of cantharides, onc
ounce; liquid ammonia, one dram,
glycerine, one-half ounce: oil thyme,
one-half dram; rosemary oil, one-half
dram. Mix all together with six ounces
of rose water.
