TREE AND SHRUB PUZZLE is BOUND
TO MAKE AN APPEAL TO EVERYBODY

You know the line in Lanier's Sun
rise.' To the edge OF the woods I am
drawn, I am drawn, don't you, Mrs.
Manz?" questioned an eager voice over
the phone almost as soon as the new
puzzle was published.
We'll, that's me-
Yes; and its everybody this week.
every puzzler in Washington and out
of Washington. for there are many mem
bers Of the Puzzle Circle away on a va
cation who never miss contest nor fail
to enter one.
And they are all drawn to the edge
of the woods this week. and still be-
yond that.
For the subject of the new puzzle
consists of trees and shrubs-those with
queer names.
They are hidden Cleverly under de-
scriptlve phraseology, which but incites
their seekers to hunt the more per-
for them.
The Washington herald., 1911-09-04

They may all come in this week with
a vim, for surely the curious names OF
trees and shrubs will appeal to every
body, and delight every puzzle solver.
You who are seeing the little enigma
for the first time this morning need
feel no discouragement that you are
just starting on the race for the prizes,
because many who do see it Sunday, do
not commence work on It until Monday.
and even those who do get an earlieer
start do not necessarily find a more cor
rect solution.
The usual rrizes are offered both in
the adult and Children's classes, 50 and s.
for the first two most nearly correct solu-
tions from the grown-ups. and 81 to the
boy or girl not more than fifteen years
OF age. who sends the most perfect list
of answers.
The contest gates swing shut promptly
at noon on Friday. and no solution of
the puzzle received after that hour. will
be eligible for a prize. J. c. VI.

Il predict that the Puzzle Circle will
have Just about the hardest week among
the shrubs and trees that they have
ever had solving an enigma" said an
enthusiastic reader Of The Herald's Page
for Every Woman 10 me yesterday.
And I believe she is right. for even
thus early in the contest the Puzzle Cir
Gle has loudly praised the subject OF the
work for this week.
During the advertising puzzles out of
town folks, Herald subscribers who are
scattered all over many States. felt
themselves sadly abused because many
of them were not familiar with the busi-
ness firms of Washington.
or course this should not have made
any material difference. because the bus
iness firms used in the puzzles, could
all be found in The Washington Herald.
but just the same these distant Sub
scribers took 4 mighty notion that the
business subjects were for Washington
ians, and bewailed their own hard luck.

When Sleeping.

It is well TO sleep from infancy with
the head uncovered, as the hair thus
retains its beauty longer. On retiring
the hair should be raised high above
the ears, without pulling. plated
loosely in single braid and tied with
a silk or cotton ribbon. Avoid wear
ing starChed nightCaps. as the starch
is injurious 10 the hair. When old age
approaches it may be we'll to wear
nightCaps
Brush the hair well, using a soft
brush. on going TO bed. and in the
morning. The best brushes are made
with short bristles. If the hair is
combed from the roots downward
without being divided in several parts,
much harm may be done TO IT. The
hairs would certainly be broken off,
become uneven, and could never be
made TO look cared for. 1t is an ex-
Ceuent thing to smooth the hair with
the hands.

hurriedly crowded into her little reticule.
They took the carriage and soon were

they passed through narrow hall,
thence Into a greater room, fitted with
wide panels decorated with many por-
traits of men great in the history of
this country. There was a long table
in this room, and about it-some of them
not wholly visible in rather dim light
there were several gentlemen. As
her tall escort entered with word of
announcement, all of these rose, grave
and silent. and courteously bowed tdsher.
There approached from the head of the
room a tall, handsome. and urbane gen.
tleman, who came and took her hand.
He, some OF these others, she could

silent and waiting now, but her heart
was racing, her color family rising in
spite of all her efforts to be calm.

whose low, modulated tones scarce could
fail to please any ear. II thank you for
your presence here. VIII you not be

you give us, and all Iof these gentlemen
appreciate It,"
Josephine st. Auban curtsied and, re-
naming silent and wondering, assumed

of the tall and grave gentleman who had
escorted her hither, and who now cour-
teously handed her to her place.
We meet absolutely without formality.

Watermelon Rinds.

It is the duty of newspapers to give publicity to crime and scandal, ac- cording to a declaration made bv States Attorney John w. wayman in discussion of the value of a news paper as an investigator of crime and crookedness at "a recent meeting of the Inland Press Association held in Chicago. All the facts. both with re. ference to crime and other matters. should be printed, but the facts should make the newspapers and not the newspapers the facts.
 Among other statements made by MT. Wayman were the following:
 The best protection Of the public is the light turned on by the newspa- per; no crook can do much harm un- de the glare Of publicity.

ARTISTIC STREET LIGHTING.

Pine Bluff, following the lead of other progressive cities, is consider ing, not only a better, but more artistic lighting of it's business streets. It is proposed to place ornamental lamp posts, each containing five tungsten lights, at proper intervals, on all business streets. The result will be, not only brilliant lighting, but very beautiful effect.
 The old method of an occasional arc swung to the middle of tn etreet, is rapidly being abandoned in up- -to-now cities. Better lighting, with more artistic effects, is sought. Happily the tungsten solves the problem. Il is eqonomical, giving more light al less cost than others. and has the ad. vantage of variety of possible ar. rangements, which enhances the eff.

 Every political crook claims that somebody is in a conspiracy to injure him, just as every burglar claims that the police have it in for him.
 'fAs long as it doesn't affect any of their friends some editors, like other men, believe in the enforcement of the law.
 Less brain work is used by some editors in editing their papers than in "coloring" matter for the daily news; they donduct their papers as though they were paid in proportion to the number of men they call thieves.
 From the vehemence with which certain propositions are advocated by some newspapers one would think that the editor was a paid attorney for those who would profit by the legislation adVocated by the newspa- per.
 The work of an honest patriotic edi- tor is like that of every other citi- zen, it adds to the sum total of pro- gross.
