EVER SEE THIS SORT o. MAN!

A big blonde man aboad one of the
ships in New York's harbor the 9TH
er day kicked up a ferocious row be-
cause the ships barber by accident
had mixed his hair cutting with those
of a man whose locks were dark.
Blondy had told the barber he want
ed the cuttings saved, to go into base :
ball gloves for the children; but an
assistant Numbered and the red hairs
got mixed with the black, which 50
enraged him that he kept the boat in
an uproar for an hour and wasn't ap-
peased until the barber had pomised
to have the mixed hairs separated one
by one. !
He was too angry to explain why
black hairs wouldn't make quite as

But you know the type-fussy, quick
tempered, irritable, utterly lacking III
a sense of humor; no more fun in
them than in a vitrified brick. Aren t
they nuisances, though, when travel

We saw one recently on a train cuss
and jaw at the conductor for miles be-

he could not occupy an entire seat

fields, in which he is said to have
invested more than $1,000,O00. The
prince is travelling incognito, as was
the case of his last trip here in April,
I1912.
Prince Albert, who is an intimate
friend of Emperor William of Germa-
ny, is sixty-fve years old. In 1884 his
fathers yacht was wrecked off the

SOMETHING PRACTICAL FOR THE
SCHOOLS

The Times-Recordsr believes that a
majority of the people of the town arr
glad to learn that practical domestic
science is going to be taught in our
public schools. People who take time
t.; think of the future appreciate the
fact that girls must become women
some day and resume the responsible
tiles that go with their womanhood.
Fifty years ago every girl was givel
a course of domestic science at het
own home. A girl who couldn't cook
a meal and make her own clothes was
considered lacking in something. But
those good old times" have passed.
away to a certain degree.
1t is neither desh able nor NECESSARY
that a woman do all of her own WORK
these days. But the woman who knows
what to do when John brings home
company the same night the cook IS
away at her mothers funeral" is il
rare jewel. In spite of the 'masculiza-
ton of woman" womans place is stil
in the home
The domestic science course will
help prepare the girls of Americas for
their life work. Let us encourage it
all we can.
