Paris, Sept. 9.-The battle pro-
ceeding to the east of Paris appears
to be the most important and the
most stubbornly fought combat of
the campaign. Military authorities
decline to indicate the number of
men engaged, but hundreds of thous-
ands are participating on both sides.
According to those in position to
obtain authentic information, the
casualties have been so great that
the Germans have requested an arm
istice of "a hours. The armistice
was refused with the response:
1--WE grant you that time to get
out of France"
An official communication issued
by the war office shows that the Ger
man wing, while retreating before
the allies, has offered the sternest
resistance, delivering several fierce
but unsuccessful counteracts.
Accounts of wounded soldiers who
have reached Paris indicate that the
result of the three days fighting has
been more favorable to the allies
than at first supposed. They say the
German losses in killed were enor-
nous and that a great number of
prisoners were taken.
One French officer estimates the
prisoners at 20 000

Some thirteen hundred tons of Ha-
waiian sugar had the honor of being
the first commercial cargo to be float
ed over the Isthmus of Panama. Cen
eral Goethais announced that traffic
would begin, and begin it did. Ow-
ing to the continued cussedness of
the Cuearacha slide it was deemed
best to use barges for the voyage.
The barges started from Balboa, at
the Pacific entrance, on Monday, and
ascending the Pedro Miguel and Mira
flores locks passed through the cut
and anchored at Gamboa for the
night On Tuesday the tow proceeded
across Gatun Lake and down the
flight of locks into the Atlantic.
A simple enough operation. Next
year real liners, with brass work and
steamer chairs and tourists, will go
chugging through. 1t will be some
thing of a wonder at first--eyen to
tourists-and a wonder always to
those few who know. But We can
already hear the tourists finding 1t
rather a bore. They will sip their
quinine and wonder why 1t takes SO
long just to cross a hill or two.
Such is the way of modern mortals,
to whom flying Is an old story and
severing continents the natural bust
ness of mankind.

Advertising Grief.

A writer regrets 1.-THE decline OF
mourning customs" Well, why not?
Looked at sensibly why do we adver-
tise our grief? Why do we dedicate
a certain period to "mourning?" Why
do we mourn? If our friends have
gone to a higher and better life, why
do we wish them back and, if we dc
not. why do we seek sympathy from
living friends? If we go into mourn
ing" for q year, how does it happen
that our grief ends suddenly with
that period.
O, the folly and the cost in heart
beats and heart aches, of most OF
these old handed-down customs! We
drink and we smoke and we mourn
because a notion of our forefathers
started the custom We cling to fool
superstitions because our grandpar-
ents and our parents believed in them.
Social observance of centuries-o ld ira
dition is hard to eradicate, even among
practical people, but have you ever
stopped to analyze this mourning Gus
tom?
Our friend who notes the decline of
mourning and seems to regard it as
an evidence of degeneracy, should sit
down with herself and compare the
mourning customs of civilized peo-
pies in this progressive Christian age
with the fool antics of the Hotten-
tots Now, honor bright, which is the
worse?
Let's let the mourning customs go
if they will, along with eunlucky Fri
day." and a lot of sham and hypoc-
risy

Try Skin Absorption
Instead of Cosmetics

The constant use of rouge and powder
invites a eoarsened, reughened condition
of the skim eruptions, enlarged pores and
wrinkles. II you've learned this from
experience, suppose you quit cosmetics
and try the following:
Ask your druggist fer an ounce of or
binary mereolized wax and begin using
this tonight. Apply like cold cream,
washing off in the morning Keep this
up for a week or two. The WAX will lit
orally absorb the coarse, colorless or
blemished top skin, but SO gradually as
not to discemmode you at all. just as
gradually the clear, velxety, naturally
tinted underskin comes to the surface.
And mercolized wax becomes your ever
lasting friend.
For these wrinkles and large pores,
make a face bath by dissoMing an ounce
of powdered saxalite In a half pint witch

Seven Rules for Shop Safety.

The American Museum of Safety
has received hundreds of requests
from all parts of the country for rules
governing shop safety and particular
ly information as to how a shop or
factory should be conducted and safe
guarded to meet all safety and SAM
tary requirements. For this purpose
the Museum has just compiled these
seven rules for running a shop ac-
cording to safety methods and for
forming an effective safety organiza-
ton. BY following them closely any
shop can be made to stand for safety
first, last and all the time. Here they
are
form a Committee of Safety
composed of one or two men from ev-
cry department, its chief duty being
to eliminate all hazardous conditions
such as defects in machinery and
buildings, dangerous methods of work
ing or handling material, and to con-
duct frequent and impartial inspec-
tons.
1.-The committee should furnish the
officials with reports and recommen-
dations regarding their findings and
the officials should ACT promptly and
back up the efforts of the committee
in a broad minded and liberal man
ner; human lives depend on it.
3.-Lectures should be held at least
once a month and the workmen en-
couraged in caution, cleanliness, san
itation, proper use and care of tools
and their responsibility to their fell
low workmen: "speeding-up" should
be discouraged.
4.-Keep the plant clean. Do not
allow the floor, work benches, closets
and shelves to be Uttered with tools.
stock or other material. Do not throw
oily material, wastepaper, food scraps
or refuse of any kind, under things
or in out-of-the-way places; allow no
matches to lie around loose.
5.-All dangerous machinery such as
cutters, lathes, punches, cog-wheels,
belts and moving parts should be
guarded so that accidents are impos-
sible except through gross careless
ness; visit to the Museum will show
that it can be done without lessening
the output.
6.-The Committee of Safety should
see that all rules, signs, regulations
and instructions relating to safety,
health and sanitation are strictly ad-
hered to; continued disobedience
should mean dismissal.
THE workmen themselves should
be encouraged in every possible way
to cooperate in the safety work and
get the safety spirit. Safety boxes,
with pencil and paper attached placed
throughout the various departments
and yards will tend to influence every
workman to be safety inspector.

William Elbring, Highway Engineer
of ST. Louis County, Mo, according
to newspaper versions of his recent
annual report. Mr.. Elbring states
that rapidly increasing traffic has
made various forms of macadam road
construction inadequate and urges the
construction of permanent pavements
of brick or concrete costing from $4,000
to $4,000 per mile. The report shows
that 1872. 161 was expended on main
