hose. But for those who are forum
ate enough TO command the two lux
uries mentioned the thorough cleans
ing of the linen or silken sunShade can
be accomplished much more easily and
efficiently. The method entails no han
ding of the article while wet, and so
eliminates the risk of consequent
streaking of the fabric, either from in
sufficient rinsing while shut or on ac-
count of that necessary opening and
closing. Open the parasol and lash it
firmly, upright, to low post or to a
long. strong peg driven securely into
the ground. Wet with lukewarn wa
ter, all over, and scrub with the above
mentioned soft hairbrush dipped into
good soap solution. Pay most care
full attention TO the almost inevitable
streak down the middle Of each sec
ton, where the fold comes when 1t Is
shut. This done, turn q strong, steady
spray on it from the hose, both inside
it and outside, until every atom OF
soap and soil vaniShes from the fabric,
without chance of doubt Then let the
parasol dry, just as 1t stands.
Should a garden hose be unattain-
able, many pals of clear water, poured
over the parasol with vigor, can be
made to serve instead.

Fought With ftessians.

An ancestor Of Count Won Bernstorff,
the dismissed German ambassador,
fought against America in our war for
freedom. The fact is brought out by
passage in the Souvenirs du Che
Waller de Cussy." Among the acquain-
tances made by the cheyalier in 1920,
when he joined the staff Of the French
embassy in Berlin, was the court
chamberlain, Count Won Bernstorff,
grandfather Of the former ambassa-
dor. Countess Bernstorff," wrote De
Cussy, bears a singular forename,
America This was bestowed on her
because she was born in that country
during the war Of independence. Her
father was in command of one of the
regiments hired out TO the English
by the elector of HesSe."

The ChiIdren'S Poet,

In the St Nicholas Magazine Hide
.garde Hawthorne gives a sympathetic
sketch of the life of Robert Louis
Stevenson, whose "Childs Garden OF
Verses" is perhaps the most popular
book of poetry ever written. His pas
sionate attachment TO children is ex-
pressed best by Andrew Lang, whom
Miss Hawthorne quotes:
There was n very pleasant trait
in StevensOn's character which, per-
haps, does not display itself in most
of his writings-his great affection
for children. . In an early letter
he writes: Kids is what is the mat
ter with me. . . Children are too
good to be true He had a natural
infatuation, so to say, for children as
children . little boys and girls
were his delight, and he was theirs"

Matches Illuminated Town.

In a Midland town a number Of
persons were fined for striking
matches in the streets on the
night of an air raid. The offense
may appear to be a trivial one on the
face OF it, but it Is really not so, says
a writer in Flight. In a recent series
Of visibility tests with certain kinds Of
light 1t was noted that on dark night
the light of an ordinary match was
easily visible at distance Of mile.
Hostile aircraft do not, as a rule, fly
at as low an altitude as a mile, and on
the basis of the test just noted the
striking of a single match would be
without import. But, according to
the evidence of q police superin-
tendent, although the street lamps
were all extinguished during the raid,
there was almost as much light as
though they had been lit, owing to peo-
pie striking matches to light pipes and
cigarettes.

The instruction usually given is for
scrubbing the parasol while open, with

facial cleansing, and with one of the
pure-soap preparations that are war

TRICK WAS COSTLY TO HIM
Conjurer Who "Found" Coins on
Street Car Floor Forced by Con-
ductor to Turn Over Money.

A cOnjuror performing at a local
theater got on a street car with two
members Of his company, and after
while, moved by some sudden impulse,
he pretended to find sundry quarters,
STOPPING her and there, and producing
them from under the seats, on the
floor, anywhere, to the amazement OF
the passengers, says the Toronto Mail.
His two friends laughted heartily at
the joke. Not so, however, the conduc-
tor, who came forward and sternly de-
manded the twelve 25-cent pieces he
had picked up" in order that he
might hand them over in accordance
with the regulations governing lost
property found in the cars.
In vain did the finder" protest that
It was only a conjuring trick. The
conductor obviously did not believe
him. And In the end, in order to
avoid a compulsory visit to the police
station, he had to give up the coins.

DAVE POWERS AND LEE
DOWNEY AT CITY HALL
ON THURSDAY EVENING

The followers of the tistic game in this
city no doubt will be disappointed in not
being able to see Billy Myers in action
next Thursday night at City hall. On
account of very bad ear which he in
jured in his bout here two weeks ago ami
having boxed twice since, he has asked
the matchmaker to postpone his bout
here to a future date. In his place the
club will put on Dave Powers, The NAL
den Blonde and Leo Downey of Boston.
Powers has never showed his wares
in this city, but boxed some of the best
men in New England. 1t cannot be said
that he is pretty boxer but he is slam
bang artist and there is always some
thing doing within the ring from the tap
of the gong.
In the person of Downey we have 4
young boxer who is coming all the time.
He is a good boxer and can go some.
The matchmaker saw his bout last week
with Patsy De Lucca at Waterville, Dow
ney having the better Of De Lucca in
the last six rounds.
There Is a lot of interest being taken
in the bout between Danny Lorraine and
Young Pooler of Bangor. These boys
will box two six-round bouts. There will
be another. fast bout. Harry Sears Will
be the thirdWan in the ring. Seats on
