established itself as universal favor
lie yet. The liking for covering the
top of the ear remains. But hair which
has been encroaching upon the face,
over the cheeks, Is no longer good

The chances are that in the many
new coiffures which have been de-
signed for this season the ears will be
wholly or partly covered. Light fringes
over the forehead, middle and side
parts. hair coiled high or low. out al
ways waved, and little, short. full
curls are in evidence everywhere. For
popularity the high coiffure promises
to be the winner in the race for favor.

General Booth thus epitomized his
career: when l started my WORK
gave up the friendship of the people
of the better class. l gave UP the
hope of wealth and 1 abandoned am
bition. Now 1 have found all that
gave up Had l wished it could be
wealthy. My publications have brought
me thousands of pounds, but every
cent of it has gone back as 1t came
for the betterment of the conditions

Tran,o Poet a Character.

Harry Kemp, the tramp poet, whom
England nearly sent away as an un-
desirable alien until he was bailed and
guaranteed and clothed and fed by
fellow countryman at Hampstead, has
been rescued from durance and pre-
sented to London-at least, to a ia
nous woman's club-clothed and in
his right mind. There is nothing un-
kempt or unpleasant about the tramp
poet" says the London Chronicle
He is well set up, with a shaven and
refined face, though his clothes sug-
gest that he had never given them
more than two minutes thought
month. He sees the world in poetry
and not in money. He wanted to see
Europe; the money question scarcely
disturbed him; he had three dollars;
60 he walked on board and tucked him
self in corner of a commercially run
ming ship Surely We were right IN
deciding to let the poet break the
rules"

sides, measured up to the million fig

900; on that of the south, $4,000. A
large percentage of the losses was
from wounds, but the largest of all
was from sickness, caused by climate
and exposure. Of the million or there

DIAZ is IN WASHINGTON.
He and His Friends Have Plan for
Peace in Mexico.

Washington, March 12.-The dis
match OF two additional regiments OF
American infantry to Eagle Pass and
Laredo. Tex, to allay fears of Mex
lean raids, and the appearance of Gen.
Felix Diaz and friends with a new
plan to solve the Mexican problem,
were the chief developments today in
the Mexican situation.
The troops-the Ninth and Seven
teenth regiments-were ordered to the
border at the request of Senator Shep-
pard and representative Garner. The
latter told the president there was a
good deal Of cash in border banks and
Americans wanted to be protected
AGAINST any sudden raid or invasion.
Mr.. Garner also said much stock had
disappeared recently and residents be
leved MeXicans were responsible. The
request for additional troops was
made Monday was discussed at the
cabinet meeting and decided on late
today by the president, who communi-
Gated his approval to the secretary Of
war
Gen. Daz and his friends here said
they were not yet prepared TO an
nounce their definite purposes, but
would do so tomorrow. One of the
party was Pedro del Vilar, who, before
the senate foreign relations committee
last week was reported to have asked
support for a counter revolutionary
movement The MeXicans denied to-
day that they sought support or sane
ton for any revolutionary movement,
saying their idea was a campaign of
information about Mexico and TO ac-
quaint Washington with the personali-
ty of Gen. Diaz, so his part in subse-
ouent events in Mexico might be
Judged from study at close range. 1t
was learned they were seeking the
elimination of Gen. Huerta and not
allied in any way with the constitu-
tiCnalists.
Members OF the party said senator
Root conferred with Gen. Diaz In
Washington last week and that Diaz
came to Washington at the invitation
of Senator Fall Whether the Sen
ators have been made fully acquainted
with the plans of the Diaz group is
not known.

over again because of losses by
speculation or otherwise.
one can invest small, odd amounts
in savings account, lie can in
vest them at any time, and his
money will begin to earn interest
at once. The interest as soon as
it is added to the principal, begins
to earn more interest itself and thus
the account grows in two ways.
OF course, savings bank compound
interest is not the only way to
mafc money with money.
Many fortunes were made and
many mo-, will be made through
wise Investments. And many for
tunes are lost too, through unwise
investments. But thrifty habits ana
consulting with experienced per-
sons like conservative bankers will
give one the wisdom necessary tc
handle money wisely.
When you invest in some things
stocks. for instance YOU assume
business risk for the sake OF
sharing in business profits. But per-
haps You are not in a position to
take business risks"
Speculation is an expensive lux
ury The wisest course for the
p,rson of moderate resources is
to keep entirely clear or T. nc
matter what form it takes. When
YOU speculate. you can only HOPE
TO win, but with your money in a
sound bank you can know just
whnre your money is and what i
is earning for You all the time.
Savings bank deposits are better
protected than money in any equally
profitable and equally available d'
rect investment. The protection IL
as nearly perfect as law can maxi
any Investment of money. That l
why the savings bank ought to b
considered as one of the iomda
lions of our national safety am
prosperity.
