A Hint to Automobile Riders.

Every automobile rider has expert
enced the discomfort of dust in the
eyes and also from the effects of cold
winds. A suggestion has been made
that these discomforts may be greatly
alleviated by applying castor oil along
the eyelashes. This, it is claimed, will
catch most of the dust before it can en-
ter the eye, and also it protects the eyes
from the chilling effects of the wind.

THEIR PAST REPUTATION

Because Of their skill, deXterity and

Saturday night, and, in game fought
under many difficulties, won from the
Carlisle High School girls team by a
score of 38 to 10.
The game was played in dimly.
lighted tobacco warehouse, which was
quite disadvantage to the girls,
coupled with the further fact that the
hall used in the play was exactly the
same color as the warehouse floor
making it almost impossible at times
to see it. There was considerable in
reference in the play on the part o.
the Carlisle team, according to the re
port brought back by some of the
spectators, but, in spite of all, 1.-THE
Invincibles" fought all the harder, and
added a new score to their long list
of brilliant victories.
The Paris lineup comprised Misses
Iona McCord, Carrie Rose, Fannie
Heller and Vallette McClintock, and
Misses Beatty, Bramblette and Lyle
substitutes. Carlisle was represented
by Misses Stacy Cheatam, Haze
