!, Long thick eyelashes are to be
desired not only. because Of their own
beauty and the added character they
lend the eye, but because they afford
30 much protection to the eye itself.
They sift the dust from the air, mini
mixing the chances Of getting painful
=. particles into the eye, they shade the
:4eye from strong lights and protect
the. sensitive nerves Of sight.
- Long lashes are comparatively easy
to acquire. The first thing to do Is
to clip the lashes back trff1e, using
liile embroidery or manicure scissors
with the points held away from the
eye. This Is delicate task, better
done by some other person. Yet, il
you lean close to the mirror you can
do it yourself The lash on both the
upper and under lid should be clip
ped. This will make them grow in
longer and thicker too.
The eyebrows too, will benefit by
clipping, but this Is something most
women would hesitate about, as the
short hairs, would show more readily
than on the lashes. Vaseline is about
the best thing to use as a tonic, and
Is always the chief ingredient OF ex-
pensfve preparations. I'have re-
eipe for a tonic that IS bit more
effective than vaseline, but this sim
pie salve will be found excellent.
The lashes should be clipped back
once a month for at least three
months. By this time, in connection
with the use Of a tonic, they will
have sufficient stimulation to grow
thick and long.

LEMOYNE FAVORS ANNEXATION
OF WEST SHORE TO HARRISBURG
Fireens Union Arranges For Public Meetings in Five
Towns to Place Matter Before Businessmen
and Property Owners

Lemoyne's progressive stand in the
annexation of the West Shore to
Harrisburg, caused the West Shore
f1remen's Union in session at Camp
Hill last night to arrange for meet
ings In every West Shore district and
town except Lemoyne and Worm
leysburg. The annexation move was
started by the West Shore Firemen's
Union and Lemoyne was the first to
take up the matter thoroughly. The
businessmen of this town are now
circulating petition among the tax
payers and expect to have about 85
per cent. of the taxpayers sign in
faVor of the improvement, although
IL only taxes so per cent. to ask ad-
mission to the city Wormleysburg
has also favored the move, but no
petition has been circulated yet Le-
moyne businessmen were heartily
congratulated by members of the
Union last night on their splendid
work In giving the move impetus.
The Union decided to hold meet
ings in five of the West Shore dis
tricts to encourage the move. The
sessions will be in charge of the dele
gates to the Union and will be ad-
dressed by prominent men, well
yersed on the annexation proposition.

Much stress was put on report

ton from automobiles or teams.

NEARLY HALF
MILLION WORDS
In ENGLISH
Our Language Borrows Pro-
fusely and Vocabulary
Multiplies Rapidly

THE English vocabulary has
grown to greta size" says Professor
Clark S. Northup, of Cornell Univer-
sity, one of the editors of the New
Universities Dictionary now being
distributed by this paper exclusively
to its redaers; "the number of words
found in Old English literature does
not exceed thirty thousand; recent
dictionaries have listed more than
four hundred thousand. mostly of
foreign origin. Yet most writers use
mainly English words.
Shakespeare used 80 per cent. of
English words; the English Bible
contains "a per cent; Milton, 81 per
cent; Addison, 80 per cent. Tenny-
son, So per cent Most of our short
est and simplest words are of native
origin.
IF any language comes into close
contact with another, there is likeli-
hood of word-borrowing. English is
one of the most cosmopolitan of Ian
guages. From the French it began
to borrow even before the Norman
conquest; after that, as intercourse
with France increased, it borrowed
heavily from the Norman and Pa
risian French. Many Spanish and
Italian words have come in as a re-
suit of commercial ctivity"
Floods of coupons continue pour
ing in for the New Universities Die
tionary The distributing clerks are
kept busy. The publishers have been
ordered to keep a big supply bound
and ready for emergency calls. 1t
looks as though the raid on the sup
ply would soon make a replenish-
ment necessary. Such a rush was
not expected, but this paper is greatly
pleased to see readers taking such
enthusiastic advantage of its edu-
national offer.
