refused to retire. They did 80 only,
after a stan ofiicer was sent to them
twice with an order for retreat.
During the night the German artit-!
lery roared ceaselessly in a bonn
bardment of SCISSORS but at dawn Of
the fifteenth the artillery Stacked and
gave place to infantry fire. At z
o'clock a battalion of the line occu-
plying the farms Of st. Paul were
ordered to protect the advanced
trenches which were threatened by
the German attack. They charged
and broke the German ranks driving
them as far as the Crouy railroad sta
ton and taking 100 prisoners. Hard
~. however, had they returned with
the prisoners when they were assailed
by fresh German forces and for two
hours ST. Paul was subjected to fur
ious assault.
The tide OF battle ebbed and flowed
in the angle OF stable wall. Here
the German dead were SO numerous
that some stood upright, lacking room
to fall. The good practice Of the
French three-inch guns guided by
aeroplanes prevented German re-en-
torcements from ydebouching from the
western slope Of the vrigny plateau
and the Germans, exhausted and DIS
couraged. retired in a body to Crouy
at noon. The French retained the
mastery Of the suburbs of scissors
on tn right bank of the river Their
front Is stronger than ever.

SCISSORS is a small town pictur-

hills. on the left bank of the Aisne.
II lies sixty-five miles northeast Of
Paris, and constitutes one of the
links in the chain Of French second
line defenses. The region all about
scissors is agricultural, and the
city's trade is mostly in grain, vege-
tables. livestock, leather and forest
products. Manufacturers OF the
place are not Of great Importance;
they consist of leather. foundry
products. flannel and cotton cloth and
farm implements. There are exten.
sive lumber yards in the city.
The one-time Importance of sois-
sons has long been waning. The
siege, bombardment, sack and brand
of war have been repeated often in
the experiences Of the city, and seem
at last to have sapped fits will for
further growth. One Of the Oldest

When you darken your hair with

Hair Remedy" You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
n small strand at a time. BY morn

another application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, glossy
and luxuriant. You will also dis

JUST GETTING IN PRACTICE
Young Woman Had Excellent Reasons
for Her Frequent Journeys
on the Subway.

A young woman in New York devel.
oped a sudden fondness for subway
rides. 1t seemed to her friends to
amount to a mania. Curious symp-
toms were that she insisted on having
somebody 60 with her, that she always
chose express trains and the last car
of the train, where the noise is loud.
est, and, finally, that she kept talking
all the time without regard to whether
her companion replied or not.
At last one of her friends became
SO concerned that she spoke to the
girl about it.
Don't worry replied the young
woman Il am all right. l thought
