STRANGE, IF TRUE.

Paris, Dec. S.-Replying to various
questions by means of pictures and
messages in written characters appear
ing on her skin is the amazing faculty
which has been developed by 12-
year-old schoolgirl residing in the vii
llge of Bussus -Bussuel near Abbeville.
Medical men and other scientists
throughout France are interesting
themselves in the case and all of them
so far have confessed themselves puz-
zled to account for the girls strange
power.
The inexpicahle phenomena, which
FIRST manifested themselves during the
past summer, have since been repeated
with constantly increasing distinct
ness. The first of the series of pic
lures was a ladder which was vividlv
outlined on the girls arm. Then fol
lowed the representations of tree,
dog, and. after intervals Of several
days, horse and other animals.
These were followed by messages
referring to different inhabitants of
the village, such as "Fedora will not
come this morning" "Victor is sure
to be taken for a recruit" and many
similar statements, imprinted, some
on the girls arms, others on her chest,
her shoulders, or her legs and thighs.
This strange faculty, as though not
sufficiently mysterious in itself, was
later on followed by the even more
astounding one of divination An in
stance of the possession of this gift
attested by numerous intelligent wit
nesses, is furnished by a newspape
representative.

Between
Ourselves

"How do you manage to keep
your store so busy during the
dull season ?" inquired an Allen
town, Pa, merchant of the writer
yesterday.
"By never relaxing" was the
answer.
The Bamberger store strives
just as hard for business during
the alleged "dull period" as it
does at the height of the season.
Brisk business is matter of
vigilance, purely. A store can
keep busy out of season if it tries
hard enough. Business is to be
had twelve months in the year,
and the store that puts forth the
proper effort is the store whose
aisles are crowded flfty-two
weeks straight.
Our Allentown visitor was sur
prised, but, as a matter of fact,
there is nothing at all surprising
about Bamberger activity. 1t is
the most natural and logical
thing imaginable.
And what fine COOL place
this is!

the headquarters Of which is in Phil

See here!
The girl with the pistol pockets!!l
The new fall tailored skirt will have
two patch pockets, either in front or
in the back of the hips, and it goes
without saying that the up-to- date
girl will make this very convenient
fashion extremely popular and it is
probable that she will use these pock-
cts for more than her powder rag and
vanity case.
A clever woman has declared that
all of mans supposed superiority over
woman is because of the numberless
pockets in his clothes. With the in

women will have a chance to demon
strate the truth OF this.

Greasing the ways is an operation
in shipyards whereby a vessels
launching is accomplished with ease.
"Greasing their palms" is less ad-
mirable, but often most efficacious
operation whereby one can get action
or service that otherwise would be
difficult to come by. The oil of hui
| man kindness is largely composed of
grease made up of forethought and
willingness to serve others. Some
folks used to say there is nothing like
leather. Nowadays, in view of the
enormous amount of machinery that
makes the wheels of daily life go
round, that aphorism may be para
phrased into: There is nothing like
grease
Just consider for moment what
an important part grease plays In our
world. 1t lubricates the faucets out
of which flows the water for our
morning bath; it lubricates the slides
of the elevators in our apartment
houses; it keeps the wheels going
round smoothly under the cars that
carry us to work, in engines of what
ever conveyance we travel by. Grease
must be used in our typewriting ma
chimes, our cash registers, our cleo
trio fans, our delivery vehicles, the
presses that print these words, the
curtain that rolls up in the theatre,
In the engines that give us electric
and gas light in the early watches Of
/ A., srI,+ &c ANYTHING more
important in the world, other than
love and money. than grease, we don't
know it.
Since the days of the automobile,
motorcycle and motorboat grease has
meant a great deal more to most or
us in actual personal practise than
1t used to. We used to let the other
fellow do the greasing, but now we
have to do a good deal of it our
selves if we own or run either an
automobile, a motorcycle or a motor
boat. And most of us have found out
that there is grease and grease, most
of which Is not to be depended upon
for its chief uses, that of reducing
friction, keeping bearings cool and
neither smelling or soiling everything
1t touches.

drafted into the aerial squad.
In one fashionable quarter of the

two and sometimes ON three roofs at
one and tha same time.
