scendant Of Charles Chubb, the in
ventor Of locks and safes and the

Stonehonge. dating from the late
neolithic or the early bronze age, has
been the object of much speculation
among Investigators in England, but no
one can authenticity state when, why
or by whom il was erected. The word
is from the Saxon, meaning hanging
stones.
The structure consists Of a circular
group Of huge stones. all Of which were
standing, but most Of which
now lie PROSTATE in and out OF the 100
foot diameter of the outer circle. Many

Numberless are the stories told of George Washington.

KITCHEN KINKS" OF VALUE
Good Substitute for Eggs When They Are Scarce-To Separate Whites
 From Yolks.

When eggs are scarce a teaspoonful of cornstarch can be made to take the place of one egg. When combined with eggs 1t makes buildings, cakes and pies lighter.
 When the whites of eggs are used and the yolks are not wanted for sew eral days. beat them up with a little cold water and put them away in cool place. They will keep good for quite while. If they are to be used for salad dressing the water must not be added
 When separating the whites from the yolks of eggs one will sometimes break the yolk into the white. in which ease the whites do not beat light. Dip a clean cloth into warm water, wiring dry. touch the yolk which has been dropped into the white with the cloth and it will cling to the cloth.
 If you wish to save the shells. break away just enough of the small CT end of the shell to remove the contents. Then carefully wash the shells and put them away in safe place. Later you may fill these shells with jelly, covering the broken end with paraffin paper. This is a con- venient way to carry jelly for lunches.

SWEETS FOR THE AFTERNOON
Some Novelties That Almost Any Woman Can Make for the De-
 light of Guests.

The search for the unusual occupies the time, or a big portion of it, of many men and women Men who are running tiny "fancywork" shops. men who are managing huge manufactur- ing plants. women who spend most Of their life in the pursuit of society, and women who spend it managing simply their own homes. all must seek novel ties
 Here are some suggestions of un- usual sweets that may interest the woman who tries to furnish tempting yet inexpensive food

Satisfactory Sprtnkljno.

Here is a method for sprlnkling clothes which will be found very sat isfactory This saves a lot of trouble and prevents the hands from getting chapped in cold weather. Take an ordinary cork and cut a small fiuting in II lengthwise. Fill a glass bottle with water and put the cork in it. When the bottle is shaken the futed cork acts as spray. sprinkling the water evenly over the clothes.

To Nip a Cold.

II you find you have caught cold in spite of precautions, nip it in the bud The time to attack cold in order to cure 1t is at the very start. At the first sniffle or the first cough begin to fight it. Drink plenty of fresh water. eat lightly and get plenty of sleep.
 Before going to bed take hot bath and drink hot lemonade. Then cover up warm and be sure there is no draft between the windows and the door. but have the windows open enough to get plenty of air in the room. This treatment will probably cause you to perspiro freely and you must be care full not to throw off the covers and ex- pose your overloaded body to more cold.
 If this treatment is taken at the start and carefully adhered to, 1t will probably drive the cold right out of your system. But If you do not treat it at the very beginning it will have to run it's course gradually.

TO Drlng Phoebe Ihr0SSell and her SIS
ter, Susan: the manly Valentine Brown,
Major Linkwater and Major Bubb back
to the public. This season she de-
termined on the revival. but she intend.
ed to make it only at special matinees.
The success with which it has met, how
ever, has forced he'd to change her plans
and it now looks as if the success of
other seasons would again take first
place in her repertoire.
One reason that may be given for the
favor with which the revival has been
meeting is that since the comedy was
temporarily laid aside a fex years ago
there has come up a number of young
people to whom the work is new. There
are those who recall the play who will
aver that Barrie was never in more
charmingly sentimental mood than when
he was at work on equality Street. :"
To them Phoebe Throssell will always
remain one of the sweetest heroines that
has graced the stage. The story deals
with Phoebe's love affair with Valen-
tine Brown and it is deftly worked out
with Barrie's skill and cleverness As
has been announced Miss Adams is to
be seen at the Majestic on Friday even
ing, when she will make equality
Street, her offering. There is always
interest in the appearances of the
actress and the sale of seats, which
opened this morning will, no doubt, be
heavy.-tAdv.*
