The length of an N-ray wave is less In
comparison with an-inch than an inch is
in comparison to the distance from New
York to the North Pole!
And yet science has succeeded in meas.
Uring it, II not with absolute certainty. at
least with n very nigh degree of prob
ability. And what Is now only prob
ability will become certainty tomorrow.
The length of an N-ray wave compared
with that OF an average wave OF visible
light is about as one inch to one mile.
But this is not the bottom OF the well
of littleness by any means. Where that
bottom is we do not know. But certainly
the diameter of tho corpuscles OF which
atoms are composed IS far less than the
length of one of these little waves. and
no one can be sure that some time We

Dear Miss Fairfax: l am a girl Of 10

man two years my senior, 10 whom my
mother objects because at present he Is
not IN good circumstances. l met this
young man about four years ago, but at
that time we were simply friends. About
year ago we both discovered that we
cared seriously for each other. hut on

Tho only thing for you to do Is to talk
this over frankly with your mother.
II is natural that she should want TO see

only the latter is by far the more diff
cult.
Take foot bath sufficiently hot TO
well soften the skin about the toes dry
them and with the towel gently press
back all the skin about the nails Cut
the nails straight across, leaving square
corners. and, IL the tendency to ingrow-
ing on the sides is present, cut out n
little V in the middle of the nail edge.
Also. with the cuticle knife, scrape the
surface Of the nail down the middle.
This cutting out the v and thinning the
nail in the center forces It to grow
toward the center and away from the
sides and will correct the tendency
toward growing into the skin.
Roll a bit of absorbent cotton about
the pointed end of an orange wood stick
and moisten II with peroxide of hydro
gen. Pass this all about the nail pushing
back the loose flesh and run 1t under
the corners of tho nail and as far down
the sides ms it will go without pain. II
the trouble is we'll established and the

corners of the nail must be gently lifted
by means Of the stick and a tiny bit OF
dry. clean absorbent cotton inserted. This
should be changed daily. the sore spot

hydrogen. and eventually the nail will
be free from the flesh.

Dlsoarding stockings and wearing san

form of foot trouble. Such a form of
foot dressing is no more unconventional
than wearing n kimono and could very
properly be adopted at the hours when

not only from the cramped position that

What Converted Her

Miss Helen Todd of California, who

the suffragists to appear last winter ct
the hearing before the rules committee
Of the house of representatives when the
suffrage committee asked for special
committee on woman suffrage in the
house. In her statement before the rules
committee Miss Todd said in part:
My conversion to suffrage came
through six years of work as factory in
spector in Illinois. I have alwayG thought
that the reason there could be such
