IT C Awaits Official Information

washington, April 17.-The Unitec Btates government today awaited of- (icial advices as to whether Japan Lad established 9 naval base at Turtle bay, Lower California, as had been reported.
 Unofficial advices said that the presence of Japanese warships in Turtle bay was due to the fact that (hey were engaged in attempts to re- Rloat the cruiser Asama, which recently grounded there. An expla- bation to the same effect is said to kavs been made by an officer of the Japanese embassy here to the de- Sartment.
 If it develops that British and
 Japanese vessels actually are using he Mexican port as a aTtemporary
 ase of supplies, it is suggested that
 he matter may be "called to the at-
 ention" of the Mexican authorities kn dalso to Great Britain and Japan.

Think Villa Sure Winner.

Washington, April 1.-The state de- partment believes General Obregon has defeated General Villa in the first period of the battle at Celaya the greatest engagement since the fighting began in Mexico, but the final outcome has not yet been decid- ed
 Military experts of the war depart- ment, however, decline to believe that General Obregon has any other ad- vantage, and their opinion is that General Villa will come out the victor. Their view is that so far Obregon has simply succeeded in standing Villa off, According to thaiss4 information, Villa is maintaining his circle of troops around the town of Celaya, while waiting for endorsements. They understood Villa is calling in his other armies from Matamoras, Tuxpam, and Mazatlan, and that when they arrive he will hegin grand as sault on Celaya. This explains the dispatches from Brownsville that Villa has abandoned his attempt to take Matamoras.
 Advices to the state department from the Brazilian minister at Mexico City show that Americans and othel foreigners are preparing to flee the capital to escap, starvation. Three hundred will leave for Irola on spe cial train about April 23.

Self-Contro1 First Element
in Character

Perhaps you are literary man, or a
clergyman, or an artist engaged in crea-
tive work. Upon the success OF your work
depends the comfort OF your family and
your reputation as a man OF talent
Therefore you feel Justified in being
somewhat difficult" in your home and
social relations.
You are nervous and irritable, and you
have no excuse to make. Talent Is ex-
pected to cover multitude Of such sins
Talent excuses nothing which weakens
character. and the first element in char
acter development Is self-controi.
Control your beiittling nervousness ana
your childish irritabilitly II you want 70
rank among the Worthwhile souls OF
earth.
Again, you may be a good husband,
good provider for your family, and an
honest earnest business man. but your
weakness lies where the fair sex is con-
cerned. SO long as you keep from scandal
and 30 long as you blacken no woman's
reputation, you feel you are excpsable for
an occasional lapse from what you term
the "goody -goody path OF rectitude.
Yet there is nothing which so weakens
the whole moral nature. nothing which
so destroys the fibre OF character. as n

But only as yoh develop your power

II you will watch a cat licking and

lously preening its feathers until their
beauty is fully displayed. you will per-
celve the working of the same instinct
which causes human beings to spend a
great deal OF time and labor upon the
care OF their hair.
The hair has been called "the greatest
natural adornment of the human body"
and. under the conditions of civilized
life, It is, perhaps. more ornamental than
useful
There is certainly no part of the body
which has always. in every country, and
in every state of society, been treated
with so much disregard of natural ten
denotes as the hair. The interference
with it ranges from efforts at total ex-
tirpation to the most careful training and
cultivation.
Fashion has played with the hair in
the most capricious way, among savages
and civilized men alike. The hair OF the

face. which is generally confined TO men,
has been more subject to extreme
changes OF taste and fashion than that
OF the head. 1t is comparatively rare
for the head to be shaved or otherwise
artificlally denuded OF hair, but the shaw
ing Of the face seems always to have
been practiced from the time when man
first managed to make cutting instru-
ments Of sufficient keenness to sever
the beard.
The history OF the rise and fall of
the mustache. repeated over and over
again, like the swing of a pendulum,
records the fluctuations OF the ideal OF
masculine beauty, which seems never
to become fixed. OF course, a great deal
depends upon individual pecularities
nevertheless there is a cycle of maximum
and minimum governing the mustache
which is as rigorous as that OF the snap
shots.

life is excess. This is a life OF free will.
Choose. That. In effect. is the wisdom
of the New York health department, and
it sums the wisdom OF all the health de-
partments OF all the ages.
The state health department has made
q discovery. The peoples OF England and
Sweden have learned how to live. Their
death rqte after middle age is dropping
a considerable percentage. Why does
our risei
The answer to the question lies in the
two Of ten reiterated words OF our good
advisers. Moderation on one hand. on
the other excess.
Whatever Americans do they are liable
to do excessively, SO the department tells
us. But drop into any English or Swed-
ish assemblages and witness the calm
that overlays their deliberations, their
sports. their business discussions. Again
moderation.
There is q hint to the wise, and the
Americans are without doubt wise. They
are shrewd. Their minds work with light
ming quickness. Suppose every American
should sit down and think upon those
two words. Excess, moderation. What do
l do to excess7' he may ask himself.
Eat7 Probably. Drink? Also probably.
Rest7 Almost certainly no. sleep? Again,
almost certainly no. Work2 Yes, the
American who works almost always
works to excess, especially II he be a
man who works with his brain. Plays?
Perhaps, but only a small number of
persons are disposed, or have the op-
portunity to play too much.
The health department advises everyone
who has passed 4O and insists that every
one who is 40 or more, shall consult his
physician at least once a year. Better II
1t were every six months. Thus the weak
points will be discovered and TIE physl-
clan can tell him and he can himself
supplement the information, how 10
change. in one particular. or many. the
methods of living, so that he may secure
the promised extra five year of life.
The health department makes q further
point we'll worth our thought. At IS q
person has reached the time of his great
est usefulness. 1t can be indefinitely pro-
longed II he wills that 1t shall.
One point, overlooked by that same wise
health department, or left to our own
discovery is this: Forty-five is the age
of dignity, not of folly. Our thoughts and
cur acts should match and both should
have the calm and power of life's high
sun. It is the age at which to garner
and apply the wisdom gained by the ex-
perience of all the years before. 1t lie
not too late TO turn over a new leaf"
II is not impossible to begin again. But
IL is the age at which no excuse Of Inn
maturity will be accepted Then or never

rent for the space he has occupied in the
world. He should give back much for

decisive Influence on the style OF hair

shameful for men 20 wear long hair and
for women not to DO So
The reign OF Elizabeth In England was
a period when immense constructions OF
hair on women's heads were most popu-
lar. but in Queen Anne's time this FASH
ion was again prevalent, and was even
carried to greater lengths. The preparar,
tion OF a ladys hair for a ball at that
time was often an undertaking requiring
two days About that time, too, the fash-
ion Of powdering the hair became COM
mon. Similar styles prevailed in France.
