LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
Sun Your Crown of GLORY
By BLANCHE BEACON

During the summer it is pleasure
as well as 6, duty to give the. hair
plenty of sunshine but when cold
winds blow and windows rattle tenn
pestuously in their castings, it is not
every woman who wishes to court the
rays of sunshine that fall on ice cold
panes of glass.
The winter girl must conquer her
aversion to settling herself near the
storm visited window, as it is essen
tial that the hair should receive it's
daily need of sunshine, if not of air.
Sunshine will give new life to tresses
that have been raVaged by artificial
heat and heavy felt hats-the latter
pressing down on the scalp and cut
ting off the circulation--so arrange TO
give your tresses a sun shower. on
those days when King Sol is to be
seen on high.
Wait until midday before taking
this novel head bath if you are the
chilly damsel, as the sun is then quite
free with its warming glances.
Must the hair come down? Ger
tainly, otherwise a goodly portion of
your tresses would be unvisited by the
rays of sunshine. Let your hair hang
loose, by all means.
AS you sit idly summing yourself, it
would be well to treat your hair to a
vigorous brushing with a stiff bristIed
brush. What do you say to this?
hope the idea pleases you, as brush
ing ones locks in the sun will give
them a new glimmer and color. All the
unnatural oils will be banished by the
sunshine and brushing combined. and
as a result your couture will be soft
and fluffy.
If you will make daily habit OF
this winter sun bath you will have the
exquisite satisfaction of seeing the
condition of your hair improve,
Disdain not this aid to hair health
as light and air are the only things

This remarkable prediction was
made not long ago by DR.. Martin KEEL
1ogg Schermerhorn, of the Harvard
department of philosophy, who was
born at Durham, N. Y, seventy-two
years ago today. DR.. Schermerhorn's
career as a clergyman has been a, re-
markable one. Ordained as a minister
of the Presbyterian church in 1867, he
left that denomination after three
years to become a, Unitarian, and was
the pastor of hocks in Buffalo, Boston
and Newport. He was next attracted
to the Anglican faith, and became a
priest of the Protestant Episcopal
church. After twelve years he re-
turned to the Unitarian ministry,

The first copies Of t'UncIe Toms
Cabin in book form were placed on
sale sixty-one years ago today, Mar.
20, 1852, and within a week over TO-
900 copies had been sold, while the
publishers were far behind with their
orders. Within a year more than 300,-
900 copies were disposed of in the
United States alone, while large num-
bers had been printed and sold in
twenty different languages. The
work, crude as it was from a literary
viewpoint, had an immense popular
ity and undoubtedly had great in
fIuence in Strengthening the abolition
sentiment in the northern States.
tfUncIe Toms Cabin was originally
published as a serial in the National
Era an anti-slavery paper published
in Washington. and Mrs. Stowe re-
eeived $500 for the serial right. A
number of book printers refused to
accept it for publicat ton, but John P.
Jewett, a young Boston publisher, de-
cided to take the risk, but not with
out fear and trembling. He made a
fortune out of the venture. as did Mrs.
Stowe.

UNCLE SAM ISSUES
A NEW COOK BOOK
Department Of Agriculture Prepares a
Book on the Preparation Of
Mutton For the Table.

Washington, D. c., April 21.-Prac.
tically every known way of preparing
mutton for the table is set forth in the
latest addition to the series Of widely
circulated cook books published by
the department of agriculture. Should
1t prove as popular as some of its
predecessors it's circulation will mount
to million or more copies as did the
now famous meat cook book and the
cheese cook book.
Recipes for mutton boiled, steamed,
praised, stewed, roasted, boiled and
fried and even mutton warmed over
are set forth in detail to the number
of sixty and the making of sauces,
relishes, gravies and stuffing for vari-
GUS mutton dishes, is described in
manner which the newest bride could
easily follow. All recipes have been
tested and standardized.
Mutton and it's value as a Diet

Phi. D., chief Of nutrition Investigations,
and Caroline l.. Hunt, A. B., expert
in nutrition at the suggestion of form
er Secretary of Agriculture James

the American people eat mutton in
stead of so much other meat. They
declared it was cheaper and equally
nutritious. #s

TAMMANY CLUB is
VICTIM OF BOMB
Organization With Headquarters In
Little Italy Shocked When Internal
Machine Is Thrown.

% New York April 21.-A bomb throw
ing which nearly wrecked the four
story brown stone building Of the
Pocasset club, Tammany organiza-
ton, early today is charged by the
police against unknown political
enemies of Nichols J. Hays, for twenty
years the Tammany leader, Of the
twenty-eighth assembly district. Hays,
a former sheriff, is president of the
Pocasset club which is located at
One hundred and sixtieth street in the
heart Of Little Italy" on the upper
east side. ~
The bomb, heavily charged with
dynamite and tightly wound with wire,
was thrown into a basement hallway
where it exploded with such force that
every window in that and some ad-
Joining buildings were broken, part of
one floor torn up, and the plaster OF all
four ceilings of the club house shaken
down. The only persons in the place at
the time were four men playing cards
and a steward, none of whom was
more than slightly injured. The thickly
settled neighborhood, however, was
reused almost to state Of panic. The
perpetrator of the outrage escaped
without leaving any clues behind.

HIGH SCHOOLS ARE
SHOWING ADVANCE
STATE INSPECTOR SAYS PAST
YEAR HAS SEEN GREATEST
INCREASE IN HISTORY.

Iowa City, April 21.--"The public
schools in the state of Iowa have
grown more during the past year than
even before in the history of the
state
This statement was made by P. E..
McClenahan, state inspector of high
schools, while visiting the University
of Iowa Saturday. There has been
a marvellous growth in buildings, while
equipment in libraries and laboratories
has Increased almost beyond the
dreams of educators.
Teachers in the Iowa high schools
are better qualified than ever before
and as result salaries are the highest
In the history Of the state''
Interesting comparisons were made
by Mr.. McClenahan to show the de-
velopment of the schools in Iowa. In
1880 the average rsonthly salary paid
to men teachers WAS $31.16, today it is
$79.11. In 1880 The women teachers
were paid $26.28 on the average, today
they receive $48.71. But with all this
advance in wages the number of men
teaching In the public schools has
steadily decreased. In 1880 there
were 1900 men teaching in Iowa, while
SoAay WV NS,COV 1nCu ICoC4'
Some idea of the advancement of
educational conditions can be real
ized," said Mr.. McClenahan, when
one considers that in 1860 there were
but forty high schools in the United
States, while today there are over 500
real high school In Iowa and nearly
every other state in the union has
made proportional advancement.
1.-The average teachers salary in the
state Of Iowa is very low, yet the
state is spending more than 100000
annually in salaries alone while the
value Of public school buildings in the
state is over $30,000,OO0. During the
past year Iowa has spent very large
amount of money upon new buildings.
Mr. McClenahan picked at random
a dozen cities where the total amount
for improvement Appropriated $1,000
900. Following are the cities and the
approximate cost of new buildings i
