as printer and reporter on most of

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
Japanese Beauty Ways
By BLANCHE BEACON

In Japan one never sees a creature
of the feminine sex with a blotchy
face. Always the skin is as smooth
as an inland lake on a fair spring
morning There is a reason for this
and if you read on, you will know
what it is.
Japanese women live practically out
of doors. Even when in the house
there is only a sheet of thin paper
between them and the outer world!
Then, too, it is not the custom in
this faraway country to eat much
meat or pastry. The japanese girl is
brought up on fresh vegetables and
fruits--simple fare, but beautifying
witha1.
Bread is another thing that the
Japanese beauty blacklists as she
thinks it a strange and useless food.
certainly seems to thrive on a diet
that lacks the article of food over
which Americans and Europeans en-
thuse.
It is said that Japanese women
battle oftener than the women of
European countries, and we all know
what soap, water and friction will do
for the skin. Would you like to know
whether they favor the hot or cold
bath? Yes? Then be not disappoint-
ed when I say that the tepid bath is
the favorite with the japanese man or
woman.
You will never find a Japanese
woman committing the folly of wear
ing snug clothing. She clings to her
pretty graceful kimona which neither
binds nor restricts. I think she real

covered himself with glory by cap
turing Emilio AguinaIdo, president of
the so-called Philippine republic and
leader of the insurgents. After his
release from confinement, Gen. Agui-
naIdo devoted himself to farming
and became prominent and wealthy
planter. For years he eSchewed all
active participation in politics, but,
according to recent reports from Man

tive and influential part in revo1u-

Chinese-Tagalog leader declares his
return to the political arena is actu-
ated only by patriotic motives. While
he hopes for complete independence
for the islands, he believes that his
leadership will prevent warlike ex-
pressions Of Impotence and discon-
tent on the part of the natives, and
hold them in check until independence
can be accomplished by orderly and
logical methods. If euoh is his object,
Aguinaldo is showing himself true

The first chronometer was the IN
vention of John Harrison, an English
man, who died in London 1877 years
ago today. Watches were first made
at Nuremberg in 1447, but they were
crude affairs and were more like small
clocks than the watches of today.
Queen Elizabeth was the owner Of a,
small table-clock sometimes referred
to as a watch, which is still preserved
in the Royal Institution Museum
Watches properly so-called were in
vented by DR.. Hooke, an Englishman,
and Huyghens, Dutchman, in the
seventeenth century, but were neither
ornamental nor useful. Harrison's
watch was the first that was both
compact and an accurate time-keeper.
He made his first timepiece in 1875, his
second in 1879, his third ten years
later, and shortly afterward perfected
a cEron ometer that procured for him
the 100000 reward offered by the
Board of Longitude. Harrison also
invented the first eight-day clock in
1715. and it is still to be seen at the
English Patent Museum. 1t strikes

Just a century ago today the first
decora lions of the Prusian Order OF
the Iron Cross were bestowed on Of
ficers and soldiers of his army by
Frederick William III, as rewards for
conspicuous bravery in the preliminary
skirmishes that marked the beginning
of the war for freedom from Napol
cons yoke. Volunteers under Dorm
berg and Lutzow who had raided
French districts along the border, were
the first to win the coveted enblems.
No order of knighthood ever aroused
80 much enthusiasm that of the
Iron Cross. Just a week before the
first bestowa1 of honors, the Prussian
King had issued his immortal appeal

the Germans to their depths Profess

and Germany still leads the world in
