a number of gyrations and is pretty sure to cause considerable carnage.
 Amateurs have often tried to learn the trick of throwing boomerang, but it takes long practice to do much with it.. Australia and the Pacific islands in the government collections at Washington, and several scientists have succeeded in throwing them in sucn a way at least as to make every one within half a mile fearful of being hit. They are a rather ticklish instrument to fool with for un- less a person is acquainted with their ways they are liable to turn In the air and give some one q rap when least ex- pected
 It is impossible to make the boomerang work in a high wind though a little breeze is necessary. as In kite flying. You throw across the wind; that Is if the wind is from the west you throw to the north or south, according to whether the boom- erang Is flattened on one side or the other There is no absolutely standard shape for boomerang, as many people think. In fact many different shapes are used, according to conditions.
 In throwing the instrument more knack than actual muscle is required. though the movement must be rapid and straight. It is thrown at an angle usually of about 45 degrees in the air, and just as 1t leaves the hand it is given slight upward jerk which imparts to it spinning mo- tion. It is this spinning motion, like the curve of 8 thrown baseball that pro- duces the eccentric results.

WHY THE SEA sUNBURN LASTS
Ozone From the Salt Water Causes a
 Very Durable Augmentation

From the Philadelphia Ledger
 Everybody knows that the sunburn contracted at the seashore is deeper in color and more lasting than the sun burn of the mountains. We usually at tribute this fact to the glare" at the seashore or say that '.the sun is hotter at the seashore than In the mountains" It remained for Dr. Fl. Leo of Bonn, Ger many, to offer a scientific explanation of the fact. TT
 We know that anyone who is deprived of sunlight loses color in a very short time. But at the seashore it is not the sun alone which dyes the skin a deep nut brown. The salt water plays an important part in pigmenting the skin. When the sun shines upon the water, chemical action takes place. decompos- ing a small quantity of the water at the surface, and changing it's oxygen into ozone. There is nothing more healthful for lungs and blood and nervous system than breathing ozone.
 Ozone is a peculiar modification of oxygen, possessing certain attributes of oxygen in a greater degree than oxygen itself. Its action upon the human skin produces sort of oxidation, which is very much more durable than the light slinburn of the fountains, which is due merely to the pigment of the skin being brought to the surface by the sun. The kind at the seashore also aids in the process of oxidation by draining the skin of its hydrogen, thus making it more susceptible to the action of the ozone.
 The reason why ozone is so health giving is because it is one of the most destructive agents that science knows when applied to bacteria. It is the ozone which arises continually from the surface of the ocean that makes a sea trip so healthful an excursion.

eve are familiar with Chicago and De- we know overmuch about Argo and Gary, Flint and Woodlawn, Norwood and Gran ite City, the industrial satellites which are springing up under the caves of the great urban center. The highest engineering skill lays out the suburban plant What of the homes of working people who follow It? Who is paying the bills of the towns and what share of the leaping land values are turned to social account as is doine by the English town planners)
 While we are talking about back to the land" huge industrial plants are up roofing themselves bodily from our con gested districts. Towns made to order snatch bundles of papers from morning trains. smudge new post marks on red postage stamps, edge their way in to the telephone toll books and the freight tariffs and become part and parcel of up-and- doing municipal America before most of their slower going sister cities have even heard of them.
 From the middle of Philadelphia, several departments of the Baldwin Locomotive Works have been shunted out into a small suburb. Flint, Mich, two hours from De- troit has been seized as the place for huge automobile factories. A big corn produce plant moved from the middle of Chicago to the nearby prairies and a ''glu- cose city" Argo, started up. Industrial plants have moved over the bridges from St. Louis and founded a group of new towns in Illinois. The Standard oil com pany, few years ago, poured out $3500.- GOO on the bank of the Missouri a few miles from Kansas City, and the town of Sugar Creek sprang up. Gary is but the largest and most spectacular single fact in a far-reaching industrial exodus.
 Many reasons account for the location of these new industrial communities. The
 impulse toward cheap land, elbow room, and low taxes throws them out from the large cities. The centripetal forces are equally powerful and bind them as satel- lites close beyond the outer rings of the mother city It means much to be within easy reach of at least one large market for the finished product. Proximity to a big labor market for the finished product. Proximity to a big labor market is an even more important factor.
 There is a public challenge in the very fact that in these localities civic and in- dustrial conditions are being created brand new without the handicaps which higlJ land values and prior improvements impose on every effort to reconstruct the congested centers. Are we casting in these advantages? Apparently the answer is often in the negative
 Whereas in the Gary plant, for example,

The Loveliest Nails in Paris From a Paris letter to the Philadelphia
Record.


 Do you know where to find the pret- tiest nails of France? Among actresses. who love to display their bejeweled fingers on the stage, you will reply Not at all. They are to be found among women whose business Is much more humble.
 Then you will perchance think the typist, whose nimble fingers play swift y over the keys of the typewriter, and who also has her hands much in view. will stand good chance of having the prettiest nails?
 Wrong again.
 It appears that the telephone girls are celebrated for the beauty of their nails. and this. for the following reason They are forbidden, in their hours Of leisure at business, to do any work what ever for fear they should become so interested in it as to fail to answer the calls of subscribers
 So crochet. embroidery and like occu- pations' being forbidden. the girls, while waiting for calls, employ their time in polishing their nails. This does not come under the head of work and is al lowed by the administration, and file brush and polisher are freely used. It is said that a competition for the most beau tiful nails will shortly be held among the telephone girls.

ART IN THROWING
 THE BOOMERANG More Knack Than Muscle Is Required to Be
 Successful

From the New York Sun.
 Boomerangs are undoubtedly one of the most curious and interesting and most re- markable wea pons in the world, consider ing their crudeness The tales that have been told about the feats that can be t> ferformed with them by an expert are not myths by any means.
 An Enslishman who has been investi- gating the subject in Australia and who has reported his results and made exhi- bition throws for King George, says that selecting boomerang of suitable shape and by knowing the knack of giving 1t just the right twist the natives of Queens land and New South Wales can make them do things so startling that they seem bewitched.
 The boomerangs are usually made from limb or root of a tree that has the proper crook, or sometimes they are made by heating a green stick in the fire and then bending it. They are worked to the desired shape by scraping with flint in- struments ard smoothing with bits of glass. They are usually made rounding on one side and hattish on the other. One form of boomerangI used in war has a hook at one end.
 When this instrument is thrown at an enemy he puts up his own boomerang to ward off the blow. This action, says the Pathfinder. causes the hook to catch on his own boomerang and brings the hooked weapon sideways in such way that it deals him a hard blow on the side of the head almost in spite of anything he can do to parry it.
 Making the boomerang perform a fig ure eight in the air is comparatively a common feat and all sorts of complicated figures are produced. including double eight The test of sure thrower is to make the stick come back obediently to his feet after engaging in these flights, so he will only have to stoop to pick it up.
 One very useful throw which Is often used by the natives in hunting wild fowl and other small animals consists in stand ing behind some barrier which cuts of the view and then hurling the instrument in direction away from inc game SC that it then turns in it's flight and goes straight among them, where It performs

Hobble Skirt Remains

From London cablegram 10 the New
 York Tribune.
 British cloth manufacturers are full of lamentations. The inventive genius of the fashion experts failed to show new modes to supersede the hobbe skirt in the latest winter modes just issued. Cloth company directors at their summer meetings had been raising the hopes of anxious shareholders that the Aobble was doomed. but the fair beauties of Mayfair are memorable in their devo- ton to tight fitting garments. West End customers declare that the hobble is as fashionable as ever. Although the latest Paris models show greater fulness around the knees, there is no diminution in the demand for a skirt tight around the ankles This applies chiefly to outdoor garments. There is greater breadth
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-10-13

to the gowns for evening wear fuller flowing skirt returning to favor.
 Not to be outdone, male members of West End society are showing daring enterprise in their latest garments. Saville Row tailors are preparing to meet a certain demand for dark blue evening dress, for the fact is blue will he the dominating color for winter suits. Blue suits. pale blue underwear. Saxe blue overcoats and pale blue hosiery are displayed in profusion in the leading em- poriums Blue boots are not yet threat ened. but that time may come.
 The latest craze in overcoats among an eccentric minority resembles a cross between a taxi drivers uniform and the old style cabman's smock. made of colors varying between anaemic blue and a. color similar to that which would be

large groups of working people are to live for decades to come. Like the found lings which were dropped in the turn cradles of the old time orphanages these young communities which industry is leaving at the doorsteps of our cities are no longer things apart and by themselves. For better or worse, they come to share in the common lot.
