investigation. The testimony so far obtained relates chiefly to the service furnished by the New England rail ropads, about which there have been some complaints. It is said that the service is inadequate with the result that unnecessarily long periods are re- quired for hauling and delivering freight. The complaints come from Connecticut and sother states. There will be more evidence relative to the service, it is understood, at the com ing hearing.
 It is believed also. that the question of rates will be gone into, although there are not so many complaints about that phase of the New England situation. Last, but not least, it is said that Judge Prouty's investigation will cover the financial relations of New England roads, the ownership and control of certain lines by other lines, and the combination feature Of the New England railroad situation This last was looked into several years ago by the department of justice, bur the matter was dropped. It was not known whether the Prouty investfga- ton will lead to a suit under the anti trust or interstate commerce laws.

New Haven, Oct. 14-The present Balkan situation has in it the elements of a world disturbing crisis, the end of which will not be seen in this gen. eration, in the opinion of Canon Her. bert HensIey Henson, the head of St. Margaret's Westminster who came to preach at Yale yesterday. In fact the situation is so acute as to challenge the apprehension of the English gov ernment, in the estimation of this, one of England's notable men.
 'tThe concern with which England views the present situation in the east can be little appreciated here,'' said Canon Henson, t'but to me it is the most ominous, the most significant of present world events.

 Sympathy extended to the indivd- uaI defendants because of the verdict in this case is misplaced for they are completely insured against all expens- es either from judgment or defense of suit They were even paid ex- s1enses and their days wages to appear and testify in their own defense. The United Hatters has already made an enforceable contract with each of the defendants that it will hold him harm less. Already they have taken over the attached savings back accounts and paid the defendants the full value thereof
 The American Federation of Labor has also pledged it's financial aid. This situation explains why the defendants have remained so care free and un- concerned and irreSp ponsib1e as to this case, for they are being s fully pro- tected if insurance company were behind them and was defending the case An assessment of Is cents a head on the membership of the American Federation of Labor would pay the judgment

ANSWERS TO QUERIES.

Westbrook: Massage of the scalp ia
much better than vigorous brushing to
stimulate the circulation and increase
beneficial when given very moderate
ly, but the average person is apt to be
too severe in their use of the hair
brush. Press the fingers firmly, but
not too heavily, on the scalp and move
the scalp in small circles. Have the
fingers separated little and change
them from place to place until the en-
tire scalp has received the massage.
Do not bruise the tissues-remember
that gentle movements many times re-
peated bring better results than too
vigorous massage.
Jimsey: The reason why you do not
find benefit from the exercise you are
taking is because you do not quite I'M
derstand how to do it. You must not
allow the knees to bend even slightly.
but must hold them stiff while you
bring your hands up over your head
and then stocp forward and touch the
floor with your finger tips. When this
exercise is properly taken it strength
ems the back, makes the back and
waist muscles timber and also makes
the waist more slender.
N. L. X. doubt IL you will ever get
rid of that wart by the method adj
vised-you would be more likely to ag.
gravate it into becoming a permanent
sore spot. Use instead daily appli-
cation of oil of wintergreen, which
will gradually dry up the warty growth
and it will disappear, leaving no trace
of any kind. One of my readers told
me of this remedy, and 1t has proved
good in a great many cases, besides
being perfectly harmless.
