Safe Home Treatment
For Objectionable Hairs
(Boudoir Secrets.)

The electric needle is not required
for the removal of hair or fuzz, for
with the use of plain delatone the
most stubborn growth can be quickly
banished. A paste is made with water
and a little of the powder, then spread
over the hairy surface. In about 2
minutes 1t is rubbed off and the skin
washed. This simple treatment not
only removes the hair. but leaves the
skin free from blemish. Be sure you
get genuine delatone.-Advertis

American Defenses Are
Far From Being Adequate

impressed only recently on the gov
ernment by the joint army and navy
board. 1t was intended a year ago to
have the 14-inch and the 16-inch guns
from Sandy Hook actually at the
canal, but all that can be obtained
now is that probably Hawaii, the Phil
ippincs and the canal will be in good
shape by early spring. 1t is UNDER
stood that the emplacement for guns
have been ready for some time at
Panama.
1t is not expected that there will
be any recommendation by the Sec
retary of War for an increase in the
standing army of the United States.
Scarcely $4,000 of the army are on
duty in the United States. For an
increase in the army to 100000, which
experts consider reasonable enough,
there would be necessary the hasty
manufacture of some 800 to LOO field
guns and the manufacture is slow.
A fine point was put on the pos
sibility OF manufacture of emergency
material here by an admiral who said
to the international News Service to-
night that Germany could build sub
marine is six months and send it in
sections to some point on the northern
coast of Europe. He estimated that
it would take 18 months to build a
submarine in the United States.

To Examine Mazatlan.

San Diego, Oct. 20-Numerous un-
confirmed reports that the steamer
Mazatlan, recently the Jebsen liner
Jason, has been carrying provisions
and coal to German warships off the
Mexican coast in violation of Ameri-
can neutrality will be investigated by
the cruiser Raleigh, which left this
port tonight for Ensenada, Mexico
Just before sailing Captain Thomas p.
Magruder received orders from WASH
ington to stop at Ensenada on his
way south and investigate the reports.
The Mazatlan is owned by the Jeb-
sen Company, of which Frederick
Jebsen, German, is president. Re-
Gently the steamer changed its name
and entered Mexican registry.
Shipments of coal and provisions
received at San Francisco ostensibly
for Manzanillo, have, according to re-
port, been transferred to German
warships patroling the seouthern coast
in search of prizes. The Mazatlan
is now at Ensenada, laden principal
ly with provisions. 1t is reported
here that agents of Carranza COM
mandeered the steamer yesterday for
the purpose of carrying federal troops
and field artillery to Guaymas. Fred
erick Jebsen, the owner of the vessel,
is also at Ensenada.

PUBLIC LED BY CONVENTION
Fact Explains Why Reality In Any.
Form of Art Comes as Some
thing Of q Shock.

We are all such creatures Of conven-
ton that the first impression made by
reality In any form OF art Is sometimes
distinct shock and we close the win
doWs OF our intelligence and draw the
blinds, that the fresh air and the new
light may not enter it. Just as no
form Of art is so strange as life, so
1t may be the strangeness of reality
in books, in pictures, and In music that
makes our attitude one of resistance
rather than of welcome.
Virgin snow often looks blue, but 1t
took courage to paint it blue, because
people judge not by eyesight, but by
convention, and snow conventionally Is
assuredly white. In reading books OF
fiction we have become so accustomed
to conventions that we hardly notice
how often they contradict reality. In
many novels | have read I have been
introduced to respectable women with
scarlet lips, whereas in life / never
saw really good woman with
such labial curiosities. Conversations
are conventionally unnatural. A triv-
ial illustration will suffice. Someone
in group makes a proposition.

TAKE NOTE OF SMALL THINGS
Not the Larger Dangers, But the In
significant, Are Most to be
Guarded Against.

Alike In the world OF nature and
the realm of human conduct, the
things called little count for more in
the sum Of good or evil than the
things acknowledged as great. Stat
istics would probably show that the
ravages of gypsy moths. and other
parasites that feed on the products Of
garden, field and forest, exceed the
ruin wrought by cyclones and earth
quakes. We are more likely to be
killed by microbes than devoured by
lions. The soldier may be in greater
danger from the neglect of sanitary
precautions than from the bullets Of
the enemy Some people are terrified
at the approach of a thunderstorm,
and do not breathe freely until the
danger is past. Others would rather
forego the pleasure of foreign travel
than brave the perils of an ocean voy-
age. Yet poor ventilation numbers
more victims than the lightning, and
insufficient drainage than the temp
ests that strew the shore with
wrecks.-Universalist Leader.

HAT AND THE HABITATIoN
Architect Shows How the One Has
Always Borne Strong Relation
to the Other.

A welLknown architect has pointed
out that the form of the hat bears
certain relation to buildings of prim-
Tive nature-huts. He has invited al
tention to the curious resemblance
that has existed, and that is still to be
found in many countries between
headgear and habitations or other
buildings. It may be that the same
taste, or the lack of it, has given rise
to the similarity Of style, or in the be-
ginning the designer of the hat may
have taken the hut as model.
In the Hawaiian islands, long before
the Inhabitants took the trouble to
clothe themselves, they built grass
houses. and at the present time the
characteristic Hawaiian hat Is remark
ably like the hut.
The turbans Of the dignitaries of the
Eastern church are still Of the shape
OF those worn by the high priests
among the Jews OF olden times, and
they are extraordinarily like the char.
acteristic domes that surmount
mosques. Again, it is pointed out, the
high-pointed spires of Gothic churches
were contemporaneous with the high
horn-like headdress known as the hem
min.
It is believed, too, that like results
may be found after a comparison OF
other styles of architecture with the
headgear Of the period wherein they,
fourished.

NO ORDERS TO CLOSE.
Life Saving Station May be Kept
Open Until Late in the Winter.

Marine insurance became invalid at
midnight last night, but it is not ex-
pected that navigation will be closed so
far as Lake Michigan is concerned for
several weeks or possibly a month.
In years gone by the last day of No
vember was the day set for the closing
Of the Kenosha Life Saving Sta
ton for the year, but it was declar-
ed at the station this morning that no
orders to close the station had been re-
ceived and all Of the members of the
crew were on duty. Following the plan
inaugurated last year it is expected
that the station will be kept open I'M
til the first of January and it is pos
sible that it will be opened until a
much later date. The life savers kept
close watch on the lake Monday
night. The heavy fog which fell over
the lake at dark made navigation de-
cidedly hazardous and all through the
night there was continual footing of
vessels fighting the fog. Not single
accident was reported in this section
as a result of. the fog.
