Natives of India Exceptionally Liberal
in Their Use of the Keen.
Edged Razor.

The natives of India 90 in a great
deal for shaving, and do not conline
themselves to merely shaving the
chin, but on occasion will shave the
eyebrows, as well, and in the case of
certain rites and ceremonies, the
head, too, is completely shaved.
No soap is used, but the beard is
softoned by being rubbed over with a
little cold water. The razors en-
pIoyed are generally of native manu-
facture and have fixed handles that
do not fold; moreover, they are very
much heavier than those of European
make. The strop consists Of a small
piece Of leather the size of a mans
palm, and is held in the open hand
during stropping.
The recognized cost Of a Shave is
one p'co, which is the exact equiya-
lent Of one farthjag. With western
education, however. conditions are
rapidly changing. and many native
gentlemen now shave themselves.
The advent Of safety razors will
doubtless do much toward breaking

them while he went into the barn for
a moment"
"What did they do to you?" asked
the second broker.
"They didn't DO a thing to me-"
answered the first, '"They scorched

me, they mauled me and they walked

SOLDIERS CHEERED
 IN KEENEY PICTURES

It was impossible for the big au- ing to refrain from observing the spirit of neutrality as lad down by President Wilson as the soldiers o1 the various armies passed in the pic- lures. The audience applauded the favorite soldiers but it was a regi- ment of Bavarian cavalry that re- ceived the most vociferous attention 1t was a fine looking body of men and the horses appeared as if they were to enter the show ring. The Ford automobile works was also shown in pictures, explaining how the cars are made and turned out, d thousand day. This same picture will be shown today and tomorrow as will Miss Mary Pickford. the cele- brated actress. The picture program for the remainder of the week is 6. very fine one, change being made each day.
 The vaudeville program is suffi- ciently varied to please any one and the audience is quick to respond to the fine work of the company. The two musical ladies, Graham and Hackett. are growing in popularity with each performance. They have a very fine act which includes vocal and instrumental music and one of the ladies gives recitation with good effect. The beauty on the trapeze has no superior in daring and Riley and the O'Neil twins are as funny as ever, the Japs are very clever troupe in their balancing and the lady who climbs the pole and per- forms various stunts while another holds her on her shoulders is an act that is seldom seen on any sta ge. The bill all through is~ of the best. and taken with the pictures, which are always good the entertainment is one of the best ever seen in New Britain.

Pauline. The twelfth and next to the last installment will be shown tonight in which is shown the last and des- perate attempts the villain makes to secure Pauline's fortune, the thrill ing and exciting perils through which she passes in the gypsy's camp, and her final rescue by her faithful lover Harry. Another attraction of great interest to the New Britain theater- goers is the filming of John Bunny in one of the best comedy reels of the season and it is one continual scream from the start to the finale of the story. Such Hunter" is the title of his most recent work, and with the beautiful Flora Fitch in his sup port, the Fox patrons will enjoy hearty laugh. The balance of the program is made up of some more comedies all in all rounding out two solid hours of the best and most re- fined amusement.

CONSIDERED BACTERIA NAMES SUSPICIOUS
Scient. fe Manuscript Caused Arrest
 Of Chicago Doctor in Dj)n.

London. Aug. 27, s:15 P. MA manuscript on scientific work filled with names of bacteria and formid- able sounding terms got Dr. Fl. p. Schuhmarn. of Chicago, into serious trouble at Dijon, France, wliue he England.
 Dr. Schuhmann has been writing a book during a stay at Lucerne, where Mrs. Schuhmann headed the American relief committee. Accompanied by his wife and daughter, he left for Paris on August 23.
 Arriving at Dion. the travellers found it necessary to change trains and also to show their passports and have their baggage examined. The doctor was not molested until the sta- tion agent noticed the trouble -mak- ing manuscript in his pocket. The paper interested the Frenchman, who, after a brief inspection of it, ordered the arrest of the owner. Questioned regarding his antecedents, the Chicago man admitted that for ten years he was student in Germany, and this seemed to confirm the suspicion that he was a German spy.
 Doctors Narrow Escape.
 Made desperate by the thought of leaving his wife and daughter without railway tickets or money, while he was sent away on train, Dr. Schuh- mann called wildly in French for physician. The ruse worked, for his captors. believing he was i'll and per Y,1oned French military surgeon. The latter came rum ming, and Dr. Schuhmann, wrenching himself free from his captors, thrust his manuscript into the hand that had reached for his pulse. The surgeon recognized the scientific names in the work, and as a result the Americans explanations were accepted and he was set at liberty
 Dr. Schuhman caught his train as it was drawing out of the station. He was crowded into third class com partment, where he rode standing up for eighteen hours.
 Many wealthy Americans in Switz- erland have been victimized, Dr. Schuhmann said, by paying $700 for berth on a steamer which was ad- vertised to sail from Genoa during the first week of the war, but which Is still in port. He states that Ameri- cans in Switzerland were generously treated by the hotels, but that the banks demanded an unreasonable rate of exchange until he and James Still man, of New York, took the matter up with the American legation and obtained an independent supply of money.

 At this same shop very pretty blouses may be had at extremely low prices.
 Simple Blue Crepe de Chine. ] most attractive gown for street wear Is seen in another model. It Is of dark blue crepe de chine, and the waist is trimmed only with the three covered buttons which fasten it.. Buttons adorn the wide basque-like girdle which extends to the hips, and also fasten at the wrists the long set tunic opening in front over a crepe de chine drop skirt.
 Faille Ribbon Vestee. This same shop is showing a very smart street gown of dark blue can- ton crepe Long set-in sleeves are finished with turn back cuffs of white faille ribbon, and collar and vestee are of white faille fastened with small ribbon covered buttons piped with blue crepe. .# '..-- t
 Tucks extend from the shoulders a little way down the waist, while just above the waistline two straps cross over the vestee. The crepe skirt is made with long straight tunic.
 Gabardine Is Pleated.
 Gabardine is. so fine and flexible that no one is surprised to see it pleat- ed in all possible ways One excel lent model has a hip-deep yoke from which is suspended a widely. side pleated section, which, only partly stitched down, makes very narrow looking but actually a rather wide skirt.
 Below the self belt it's front center pamela single box pleat-is broken by hip-long black satin vest, which above the waist line opens narrowly over the elongated fronts of white linen collar A low-rolling gabardine collar finishing the satin vest brings a line of blue between the white and the black materials on the fronts of a bodice whose low-dropped shoulders support narrow three quarter sleeves. These sleeves, fitted closely to the fore-arms, are heightened by mous- quetaire cuffs in white linen, outer side-seamed under the narrowest of self-frillings. .--.
 Throat and Wrist Finisfings.
 That there are no frillngs about the neck of the frock makes no dif- ference. To have the throat and wrist finishings of like character is no longer obligatory. This new wrinkle on the part of Mime. Fashion obtains in the double tier skirt and the sleeve less basque models, but in a fourth new design the a-jour-hemmed. dis tinctly nautical white linen collar matches broadly turned-back cuffs
 The cuffs are attached at the wrists of black satin sleeves fitted behind not into-the wide arm-eyes of frock which, save for Its narrow girdle, low-knotted upon finely pleated skirt, is all of gabardinc. The bodice does not blouse because of any extra length between waist and shoulders, but because of the ex- treme width of its fronts and it's loose- hanging arm-eyes.
