WORLD LANGUAGE OF SIGNS
Sir William Ramsay Has Plan to Use
Pictorial Characters Based on
Chinese.

To make possible the exchange of
ideas among all peoples Of the world
Sir William Ramsay, the English
scientist, has begun to develop pic
torial sign language, based somewhat
upon Chinese, which he hopes will
eventually spread among all races.
The Chinese character to express
man. for instance, is made with two
converging lines that represent sim.
ply his legs, looking much like the
legs of the crude man that the school.
boy draws.
Sir Williams character goes further
and adds vertical straight line above
the conyerging lines to represent the
body.
THE first thing that one thinks Of"
he argues, lis existence expressed In
the verb to be-"
So he has selected the arithmetical
equality mark to denote existence. All
things relating to ones state and con
dition, he said, can be expressed by
these two parallel lines.
For time which stretches away, or
action that is constant, he uses dash.
instantaneous time or action he repre-
sents with dot. Thus dot placed
squarely between and in the middle of
two lines of the equality mark de-
notes the immediate present, or 81
am Similarly the dot, when placed
at the left and between the two lines
denotes past, or II was,' and when
placed to the right indicates the fu.
ture tense, or II am to be-"
To denote a woman Sir William
draws a line closing the diverging
ends OF the legs of the sign for man.
On the theory that II" is the most i'm
portant thing in the world to any
man, Sir William utilities the straight
vertical line that represents the body
Of his man figure to depict the word.

FAv0Rs oNE-PIEcE DRESSES
School Principal Insists Garment
ls the Best Possible for the
Growing Young Lady.

The head of the biggest trade schoo
for girls in New York declares thai
the present style of one-piece dresses
is the ideal costume for growing girls
"The short-waisted style of dress
with its wider girth at the high waist
line and its general looseness, hang
ing straight from the shoulder, is the
ideal sort Of frock for a young girl
to wear" the principal said. 1T is
not only comfortable, neat, easy to
put on and simple and pretty in cut,
but 1t has another immense advan.
tage, bigger than all of these, al
though these should be sufficient to
recommend it to mothers.
1T is cut in such a way that II a
girl is taught to carry herself upright,
walking with her body held properly,
and sitting erect and without SLOUGH.
ing, she need wear no corset. For a
girl who must have room to grow
and to breathe right, plenty of space
is necessity, and corset is not de-
sirable.
"The philosophy OF the dress is
this: With a long-waisted dress, as
when girl wears skirt and shirt
waist, the skirt is fastened tightly
around the smallest part of the body.
This prevents free breathing and with
this style some kind of corset is a
necessity.
"But with the waist line higher
and as large around as the largest
part of the body, as is shown in what
Is called the empire style of gown,
the unpleasant small-waisted effect
the arms and looks well. If the girl
waist may be large, but 1t is not no
ticed. The skirt hangs in straight
lines from the larger line just below
the arms and looks we'll. If the girls
keeps her body erect and stands or
sits in graceful, even position, the
effect is excellent without corset.
The plan would encourage girls to
AXE care how they stand or walk or
breathe, and this itself would be
scod for them"

Faded Frocks.

Some one may have a pink cotton
or linen dress in good condition, but
badly faded. If so, put piece of Tur-
key red cheesecloth in water and boil
until the color is the desired one. The
dress will dry bit lighter than when
wet and will leave an even color all
over, says the Modern Priscilla. One
eighth of a yard of cheesecloth is
more than enough for Dress. Navy
blue cheesecloth may be used in the
same manner to freshen the color Of
light blue dress. 1t is best to try a
sample of material in the dye to get
the right shade before putting in the
whole dress.

The little maid, less than a year
