ROMANCE IS TOLD

Matt Dullr says: "A hockey hus-
bands romance must be written short
and sweet; multum in parvo; boiled
down like concentrated lye. Skippo
Smfflebeam was just 20 but beardless
He played marbles and hide and seek
with widow Trout's four kids, who
"ere all grown up. Mrs Trout was AZ
when she and Stuffy were splced. The
step children never called him Paw.
The honeymoon lasted Just one week
when Skippo skipped away and Nav
wasted much time hunting her hockey
man. When she found the lost Stuffy
she brought him to her cage on Blue
creek and he stayed as long as locked
up. Then again and cften he ran
away to be hunted and recovered by
his spouse. Finally Skippo was found
at the Hog Smith ranch en- Hog creek
making goo-goo eyes at FossIe
Smith, and then Nav cast mutton
optic az Flossie's Paw. Stuffy got a
divorce; he and Nav joined tie
Smith family church; aaG d be-
hold the youngsters were l.Irried at
the same hour when Paw and Nav
were spliced, and they ell lived hap
PLY together on Hog creek for two
weeks.

importance of a Tan Coat
Depends on How Acquired

Tan Is the result Of the action Of
chemical rays or Of the ultraviolet
rays Of the solar light on the pigment
Of the skin. It proves nothing, says
m authority, but that the skin has
been exposed to Photographic rays of
one kind or another. The skin is also
tanned by exposure to the rays Of a
mercury lamp. but such tan has moth
ing to do with health.
Tan Is important and Of meaning
according to the circumstances under
which It Is acquired. Acquired at sea
or by the sea as result Of life and
exercise In the open air, 1t Is a sign of
health. because 1t accompanies general
effects which are lacking In the condi-
fions Of electric tan.
Electric tan is accompanied by no
multiplication Of red corpuscles In the
blood, such as exercise produces, In

known in America how deep first i'm
preston his character as man and SOL
der have made on the British and, in
deed, the French, writes w. Beach
Thomas in Harper's Magazine.
When he landed in England in June,
1916, one of the British newspapers,
whose correspondent had been for
long while in his presence, compared
him with Moltke, who was "silent in
seventeen languages" What General
Pershing, the master of several Philip
pine dialects, said was little and good.
When General Joffre shook his hand In
Paris few weeks later-a scene wOr-
thy Of q great historical memorial-he
said to one of his staff, General Per-
shing will think first and act after
wards" At all junctures the general
has been cool and prompt and deter
mined. His colonel in Cuba wrote of
him, "He is the bravest and coolest
man under fire ever saw in my life"
His own recorded maxims are few; but
at the most worrying crisis in France
when news of the arrival of American
troops was published while some of
those troops were still in the danger
zone at sea--he said, II do not worry,
and when the days work is over / 60
