Miles Here and There,

In England a mile means the IA
miliar 1.760 yards. but in Iceland 1t
means 2,240 yards. and in the High.
lands it may mean the old Scots mile
Of 1876 yards. In Switzerland the
hardy mountaineers think 9.15S the
proper thing. even when. as generally
is. it is very much uphill. The Swiss
is the longest mile of all. being fol-
lowed by the Vienna post mile Of
$3.50 yards. The Flemish mile is
6,869 yards. the Prussian S.237 yards,
and In Denmark they walk S.244 yards
and call 1t q stroll of a mile. The
Turks are satisfied with 1895 yards
and the Italians shorten the distance
Of Q mile to LIES.

The same line OF Investigation will

how the Rockefellef-owned Colorado

The arms OF Miss Irene Hough are

yet shapely
The one great thing 10 remember
in keeping ones arms beautiful is to
be sure that the upper arm is not
rough and pimply; that the elbow
stays soft and dimply, and that an
unsightly, long, deep line will not
come between the elbow and the
wrist.
The first arm blemish can be ward
ed of by always drying the arms with
a heavy, rough towel and rubbing the
upper arm until il glows a bright
pink. Then rub some cold cream
