WRITING WITHOUT HANDS

How would you manage if you were armless?
 Up to the present this has been a problem which has never received a satisfactory solution. Those who have lost their hands have had to write as best they could, by means of a pencil held between the toes or teeth; both methods involving much practice aSd discomfort.
 A doctor has now invented a Knee Writer" which is said to be a much easier method. A leather sheaf, hold ing g. pen or pencil, is fastened firmly to the knee by means of clamps and clips. In front of the knee is a small stand holding the paper. The writer has merely to raise his heel, until the foot rests on the ball, thus giving quite large range, and after little practice sufficient steadiness in con- trol the pencil.

How You May Rid Yourself
 of BlackheadS the Beauty Way

face by holding it over basin of boil ing water, keeping the head and the basin covered with a towel so that all the heat possible is drawn to the face. Dry the skin with a soft towel. Then apply either a good face cream or 3 lather of pure white soap.
 There are several ways in which the soap may be applied depending on the condition of the skin. In the early stages of blackheads simply ap- ply the soap and cold cream as usual, then rub it out of the pores after steaming. Perhaps the steaming will have to be done several times to cleanse the skin thoroughly. If the blackheads are obstinate and very prevalent the lather should be 1 rubbed into the skin and left on the l face a few minutes before rinsing and 1 drying with a soft towel. In very obstinate cases the father may be rub bed into the skin, and while damp 1 cover the entire face with rubber or some waterproof material and let il remain for a few hours. If there is | any smarting of the skin apply cold cream.
 i Care should be used to obtain the
 proper kind of pure soap, and if this | is done there will be no smarting. FOl
 blackheads, a good superfatted soaT minus excess alkali should be used. Il
 there is no improvement after trying

MRS, KINCSBURY
 WILLING TO JOIN MUNITIONS FORCE:
Notifies General of Minute Women of Her Patriotic
 Decision.

The call for women to begin work in the munition factories has met with enthusiasm, and women are eager to answer it. Mrs. J. G. Kings bury of 22O9 North avenue is another of the leaders to announce that she is ready to join this worthy cause, and has notified Mrs. E. N. Sperry, general of the Minute Women, that her de- cision was formed and she is ready to do her bit by working in one of the intuition factories of this city.
 Women of Bridgeport are waking up to the fact that their time at the present moment is very valuable and women prominent in both wealth and society are paving the way to vic- tory. The noble work that has been done so far has comforted and cheer. ed the boys who are fighting for de- mocracy and freedom and it is only
 just that the women continue and broaden and strengthen the path to victory. This can only be done through self-sacrif1ce and willingness to work hard-the foundation of suc- cess.
 Volunteers are needed to help the Minute Women take the census of woman-power in Bridgeport next week. The task of getting the names of all the women between 16 and 50 in the city, and the other data which | the government asks in the five days allotted to the women to do the work, | is a big one, the biggest the Minute | Women of the city ever have been asked to do, says Justice George w. Wheeler, head of the War Bureau. l Every worker must have assistance,
 and at the meeting of the workers in High school hall last night it was re- ouested that each Minute Woman ask another woman to help her in | the enumeration.
 General headquarters for the work
 CTS have been opened in the building at 865 Main street. The generals in | charge of the 3 districts into which the city has been divided will have their own headquarters within their districts. Captains and generals met | this afternoon at the Seaside Club for
 further instruction in the handling
 of thee ards that will be used in gath
 ering the facts regarding Bridgeport's
 women, and there will be another
 meeting of all the workers, captains
 and generals Monday night at 8
 o'clock in the High school hall. Sup
 plies will be obtainable Saturday at the War Bureau, and every woman
 will be given a badge bearing the words. Official Registrar"
 The census must be, completed in five days, beginning Monday, so that the women may finish the job before the Liberty Loan campaign opens.
