MAYOR REYBCRN STILL
CLEANING AUGEAN STABLES.
Especial from United Press


Philadelphia, Sept. 8-Vigorous
strokes in the battle between the
Ware and the Penrose- McNichol fac
tions for the control of the Republi-
can campaign in this city were ex-
pected today, following the request
from Mayor Reyburn for the resigna-
ton of the director of public works,
Stearns, and two bureau chiefs. Sup
porters of William S. Ware, for the
Republican mayoralty nominat ton, said
that the mayor would continue the
housekeeping" and that more high
public officials would be ousted.
On the part of the anti-Vare forces.
it was announced that the Senatorial
'Lexow'' Committee, which is investi-
eating the Reyburn administration,
will turn the spotlight on the Phila-
delphia Electric Company and it's al
legged connection with men holding
public offices. The company has a
monopoly in light and power A re-
quest will be made for the list Of
stockholders.
The return of Mayor Reyburn from
his vacation in Canada added bitter
ness and activity to the fight From
now until after the primaries, the en-
tire support of his administration
probably will be given to further cam
didacy of Recorder Ware, whi is OPP
posed by Penrose.

The desire to improve the personal
appearance is rot only laudable but IS
so much a part of human nature that
it must be recognized and dealt with
seriously. If we are good to look at
we want to be still better looking. If
We are really beautiful, we are anx-
1ous to preserve our beauty against
the coming of that dreadful "old age"
bugaboo. If we are homely or i'm
agine we are, which amounts to the
same thing as far as we are concern
ed, we harrow our minds and rack
our brains for some method that will
help us out of our slough of despond.
To gain real and lasting benefit
however, we must follow only where
common sense leads the way. More
harm is done by foolish experiments
which are tried without a thought of
results, than can be undone by
weeks of the utmost mare.
The average woman, and especially
the young girl, has periods of being
dissatisfied with the color of her
hair and often she rushes into some
fad for changing its tint without CIV
ing herself time to consider the pos
sible consequences or even to think
whether the desired shade will har-
monte with her complexion and the
color of her eyes. Sometimes she
imagines her eyelashes are at fault
and they are trimmed and treated I'M

possessed is ruined and possibly the
eyes themselves are injured by the
application of harmful mixtures to
the lids.
Do not undertake any drastic treat
ments without much thought nor
without first considering whether the
change of color will be becoming to
your complexion. and the color Of
your eyes. If your skin is naturally
of a brown tint, do not use strong
acids to whiten it and so injure the
texture ofN the skin. Quite possibly
the despised brown is exactly the
right shade to harmonic with your
eyes and hair. Perfect harmony in
coloring is quite as pleasing in the
face as in a fine painting, or as har-
mony of tone is pleasing in music
The best success is usually obtain
ed by the woman who accepts her
self as nature has planned her and
then does all she can in a sensible
way to keep her complexion clear and
velvety, her hair thick and glossy, her
eyes bright. and with carefully arch
ed eyebrows. and her hands white
and soft, and. with we'll kept nails

Southington, Sept. eThe mystery
of the subterranean lake, that deffed
the best efforts of a squad Of men
who tried to pump it dry in order to
lay the foundation of a home for Post
master Charles A. Reyes. was solved
today.
On 6he same site %. years ago, a

unknown to the officials of the water
company.
The water has been wasted at this
