American women marvel at the vel

rather chide the fate which treats the
European SO graciously when, in reality.
1t is neither chance nor nature which
makes the difference. II is only the dif-
ference of care and the use Of proper
treatment which marks the beautiful

The heavy massage is one of the Ameri-

 With some people the real question is, can they afford not to have the ear? Many a farmer spends three or four hours twice a week driving to town. He could save the cost of an automobile In the value of his own time.
 The lack of the most ordinary mcchan- ical skill makes the automobile an extrav- agance for many persons. when people live on farms and in villages they become familiar with tools. They could easily perform all ordinary repairs on an auto mobile

 MT. Farquhar's triumphs in South America were sometimes compared with the leadership of Cecil Rhodes in South Africa Some of his plans entailed as great imagination as that displayed by Rhodes when he undertook the promotion of a railroad from Capetown to Cairo, in Africa.
 One of the features associated with Far quhars spectacular relations with South American development was often com mented upon by those who knew him in his young manhood in this city. for he
 then seemed to have no qualifica tons for more important work than that which a good accountant was capable of doing. He
 was, after his South American ventures began, sometimes spoken of as a second
 Henry Meiggs. but that was not a good comparison, for Meiggs was prma rily an engineer and the constructive railroad work which he did in Chile and Peru re- hected higher ability even than that which enabled him to persuade Chile and Peru to undertake the construction of railroads from the Pacific coast over the Andes mountains
 Bolivia now is prostrate. although country as rich as Bolivia is cannot long remain in that condition. The prostration is due to the collapse probably tempo rary. of the plans which Farquhar was undertaking and which involved railway construction on a large scale and the de- velopment of some of the natural re- sources of that republic
 Some 20 years ago the capital of Po- livia was brought into railway communi- cation with the Pacific coast through the construction of the railroad which pene- trated the rich nitrate regions of northern Chile. That railroad furnished the chief means for transportation of nitrate from the mines to the seaport After it was constructed its revenue caused 1t to be esteemed one of the richest railways in the world in earning capacity.
 This railroad was constructed by CO., operation between English and some American capitalists and Bolivia. The Bo- lfvian government became persuaded that by some skillful methods of bookkeeping Bolivia had been made to furnish almost all of the capital. An unpleasant condi- tton of affairs followed what Bolivia be- lieved to be disclosure of this kind The railroad property at last passed into the exclusive possession of English capi- talists.
 When MT. Farquhar appeared in Bolivia he persuaded the Bolivian government to grant him extensive concessions and also to facilitate his plan to securing possess sion of this railroad, for 1t was to be the core of the entire Bolivian railway sys- tenn. This was done because Farquhar promised greatly to expand the railway systems o' Bolivia and so to construct them that they would make possible transportation from various fields capable of rich development to the coast.
 One of these plans for which Bolivia granted 6 concession involved the con-
