SHAVING

Whoever first started the shaw
ing idea probably knew very little
about hair. He made great
mistake when he didn't read up
more on hair. If he had really
made a study of hair he would
never have invented the first
shave. He didn't know that hair
would grow out again.
The man who invented shaves
had no idea that more than once
would be necessary. When his
whiskers appeared again he was
astonished. His wife was puzzled
and mentioned it to neighbors.
Other husbands tried it and sure
enough all of their whiskers grew
out again. The custom was soon
widespread.
The world is now used to the
phenomena and the growth Of
whiskers no longer excites Won
der. The man who shaves today
knows that he will have to shave
again soon, though he does not
know why. We cannot under
stand the inscrutable laws of ma.
ture.
If a man could have one big
shave that would last for several
years a shave wouldn't be so
much of a nuisance. AS it is life
is full of little shaves and so lit
tie is gained by them after all.

MACEDONIA IS
AGAIN IN THE WAR
Dispatches From There May
Indicate Resumption of
Hostilities,

An the important infantry fighting
last night in the western war theatre
was confined to the French front where
attacks by Germans in the Aisne and
Champagne sectors as well as in the
Verdun region were repulsed by Gen.
Petain's troops. There is a promise
Of q speedy renewal OF the activity in
Flanders, however.
Field Marshal Haig, for instance,
sends from British headquarters today
one Of those lac0nic reports that SO
frequently have preceded the periodic
attacks on that front.
Nothing of special interest TO re-
port" has meant in several of these
cases that the British guns had opened
terrific drum fire preparatory to at
tack. The German high command ap.
parently is anticipating a renewal Of
the British drive hs the latest Berlin
statement in reporting the intensive
artillery activity in Flanders said no
infantry attacks had taken place up to
the present.
An admission Of possible signifi.
canoe was contained in the German
statement on the Macedonian front sit
uation, received ate last night. Sew.
eral villages in the Struma region on
the right flank OF tho Allies line north.
east OF Salonih have been "ceded" by
the Bulgarians TO the British, Berlin
announces.
There has been notably active pa.
troll activity by the Entent army in
Macedonia recently and it seems posi-.
BILE tina tsome aggressive use is finally
to be made of the huge force the allies
have had assembled there for many
months. Such move might be made
in anticipation of Bulgarian attacks on
the Saloniki armies OF the allies to
which Germany is reported to have
been urging King Ferdinand. Emperor
Williams visit TO Sofia has been con.
nected by one of the German newspa.
pers with this reported progress.
Greece might nov be expected to aid
the Entente in repe'ling such an attack
or in pushing an offensive. A declara.
ton of war by Greece against Bulgaria
in fact seems to be expected shortly
by the Central powers.
