HERE'S ONLY MEANS
TO BE BEAUTIFUL;
ATTENTION PEOPLE

Beauty parlors and cosmetics are
not the only means of obtaining that
appearance which is described as
beautiful.
The day nursery with soap, water
and scrub brushes has entered the
field as competitor.
This was evidenced a short tirne
since when a little girl greeted the
matron, Mrs. Pile with this request:
Please make me pretty again
In these childish words the girl had
expressed her appreciation of the care
she had received while her mother was
away from home during the day earn
ing a livlihood Mother had not had
time to wash the little face and twist
the silken curls.

TO THESE HONORS

Job. that old man who claims the
worlds record for patience, and Clar-
ence Mayhem, stationmaster at the
Pennsy depot, who has been claiming
second honors, have been compelled
to relinquish all claims.
The new title holder is Mrs. Pile,
matron at the day nursery. Here's S
the way she outdistanced all contend

Mrs. Pile recently cared for five
bottle-babies and a number of other
children for whole day. Imagine five
youngsters, in five cribs, uttering five
different brands of cry all at once.
Mrs Pile is elected.

HIGH COST OF CANARY BIRDS
 HAS DOUBLED
Hard to Obtain Yellow Song sters, Bridgeport Bird
 Dealer Says.

William w: Willis. who conducts the old Currier seei and feed store in Wall street. has a corner in canary birds.
 There are only seven Hartz mountain canary birds in the city and MT. Willis
 owns them all. Ten days ago he had ten. but three died. The great war in
 Europe is responsible fer the scarcity of canary birds here. Not only are there nc birds to be obtained here but
 none can be obtained in New York city, the largest bird market in the western world Bird fanciersi report
 that because of the war no shipments of birds have been made for more than a year. ,,t
 Consequently the prices and values
 of the little sweet songsters have risen
 steadily. At Christmas time a guar
 anteed songster might have been pur'
 chased for .$3.50. Now the same bird
 is worth $7 and by Saturday MT. Will lis expects the price will go to $10. Ef-
 forts of several of the dealers to ob-
 tain birds in Boston and New York have been fruitless. It was reported | in New York today that there were few singing canaries to be had there and those that were for sale were of-
 fered at from sS to SIP each without cages. ti

 And. that quickening is a political legend. Curiosity is the chief motive of the crowds. MT. Bryan, one of the most taking and pleasing of pop- ular orators, has been three times the melancholy victim of that legend. The men who decide elections must be won by superiority of argument and req son. They must be convinced. The hurrahs of the partisan whose mind is made up don't count. The few thou sands or hundreds of thousands that 8 candidate for office can reach with his voice are an insignificant fraction of the electorate Not for their effect on the people who heard Lincoln and Douglas debate at Freeport and Jonesboro and so on, but for their ef- feet. not fully recognizable until 1860 on the voters of the free States gener- ally, were the debates of 1858 power full and memorable. Men read. pom dered. So MT. Wilson, speaking al Shadow Lawn, will speak to the whole country. He will have every oppor- tunity of calm weighing and eonsid- eration. Not hastily, impromptu, be- tween stations, not fragmentarily, but with all the orderly process of his keen intellect, expressing clear thoughts in clear language, he will sci forth his policies accomplished and in tended, and give an account of his stewardship.
 Not only in lucidity and grace of speech will he have an advantage over MT. Hughes. He will not be ,revolv- ing rapidly in an attempt to capture "doubtfur' States by word of mouth Time, deliberation, intellectual strength not frittered away in a mul- titude of encounters, physical strength not depleted by forced response to local importunities,i to insistence of political managers and the fatigues of travel-these superiorities are on MT Wilson's side. His speeches, finer than Mr. Hughes, will be carefully read They will have mass effect MT. Hughes suffers from a multiplicity of issues, mostly phantom, and the number of places where he has to hold forth. Pinpricks against body blows And if MT. Hughes thinks he has found in the eight-hour legislation a count on which he can stand, MT. Will son has only to expound the whole program of which Congress, Including more than third of MT. Hughes par ty in the House, has accepted but a part. The character of the addition al legislation which MT. Wilson recom- mended, set before the country. will show that here, as in so many other of his somewhat fretful miscellaneous criticisms, MT. Hughes has not been fair to the facts. MT. Wilson has a record of noble, positive. fruitful, con- structive legislative and executive achievement. He can be trusted to make the exposition worthy of the record.-New York Times.

 Plan For Convocation

London, Sept. 22.-The Hungarian Diet has rejected the motion of Counts Andrassy and Apponyi, the leaders of the opposition, for the convocathon of the delegation, according to Buda- pest despatch to Reuters by way of Amsterdam.
 The demand for the convocation of the delegations to consider affairs which Austria and Hungary have in common, was the climax of the vigor- ous war which has been waged against the administration of Premier Tisza by Counts Andrassy and Apponyi for several weeks. The storm. which Pre- mier Tisza is now: reported to have weathered, reached its height on the entrance of Runlania into the ranks of the allies The matters which the op- position demanded should be referred to the delegations were the alleged in- competency of the Austrian govern ment in the administration of foreign affairs and the tnefficiency of the Aus tro- Hungarian army administration,

nENY IRISH REGIMENTS RECRUIT FROM ENGLISH
 AND SCOTCH RESERVES

Dublin, Sept 22.-The charge that the Irish regiments, and particularly the Dublin Fusiliers are being filled up from reserves of Eng1ishmep and Scotchmen, is repudiated by the Colo nel lately commanding the Dublin Flu siliers Battalion recruited from the commercial young men. There are. he says, not twenty men in the bat talion who are not Irish, and these had come in because they had Irish friends in 1t. !
 Irishmen who had been serving in English regiments had applied for transfer to the Dublins and this may have given rise to the charge. Some English regiments have been recruited almost entirely from the Irish in Eng land. notably the Tyneside Irish which was officially called the Northumber- land Fusiliers, in the lists as the 18th London regiment. The casualty lists of Scottish Highland regiment show a large proportion of Irish names.
