Oriental Crowds

Edith Wharton, in the Yale Review.
 To occidental travellers the most vivid impression produced by a first contact with the near east is the surprise of being in a country where the human element increases instead of diminishes the delight of the eye After all. then, the intimate harmony between nature
 and architecture and the human body that IS revealed in Greek art was not an artists counsel of perfection. but an honest rendering of reality; there were, there still are. privileged scenes where the fall of a green grocers draperies or a mIlkman's cloak or beggar's rags are part fthe composition, distinctly related to it. in line and color, and where the natural unstudied attitudes of the human body are cerrespondingly harmonious. however humdrum the acts

Easy Way to Keep
 Your Hair in Curl

If you have trouble keeping your hair in merine. Apply little at night with a clean toothbrush, drawing this down the full length of the hair from root to tip. The hair will dry in the prettiest waves and curls that you can arrange, and the effect will appear altogether natural. Instead of that dull, dried-out look which the heated iron gives, the hair will be bright, lustrous and beautiful.
 Liquid silmerine is of course perfectly harmless to hair and scalp, and is neither greasy nor gummy. If you will get a few ounces from your druggist you will find it quite inexpensive to use

NORTH $ JUDD'S
 PART IN THE WAR
Anchor Brand Trade Mark
 Carried Onto BattleHeldS

Among the first New Brit ain in- dustries to respond to the govern ment's neeIs when the United Staccs entered the world war was North & Judd Manufacturing Company. Preparations were made to place the establishment on a war footing inn mediately after it became known that the company's cooperation would be required And, like other New Britain manufacturing concerns,
 ii threw it's whole weight behind the heroic millions in khaki and blue, stationed on the firing line, on the high seas or at training centers in this country. Until the enemy ran up the white flag and it was definitely as certained from official sources that further production of military neces- sities would not be expected, North X Judd continued to apply it's whole thought, strength and production facilities to winning the war. Full speed ahead was the order of the day.
 Among the articles made for the ordnance and quartermaster's depart ments were those generally manu- factured by the company under the "Anchor Brand" trade mark. In ad-
 
 | buckles for army leggings and cart ridge belts was shipped. Literally ! millions of the celebrated Taller patent buckles were made for trench gloves and mittens. well as for use on web straps and belts.
 Hardware for use upon gun slings and gas mask kna psacks was turned 1 out in volume that tests the imagina- | ton. At a time when an emergency l call was issued by the government, | prompt results were obtained in as- l sembling parts of gas masks.

In post haste he leaves camp or hos ptal as if in fear lest the authorities change their minds and order him back. Compensation, Liberty Bonds, wrong pay, all are forgotten. At least they are not mentioned, for what are they as compared with home? One word, however, is driven home to Pvt. D before he leaves l camp, the word 'Home Service.' He does not realize then that this is to be the magic key to all of his difficult ties so he straightway forgets it.

When Kaiser Bill Hohenzollern and his Potsdam gang aroused the wrath of this country and then re- marked that the United States could never mobilize a big army because of the large foreign populatic< in this country they probably had in mind a cosmopolitan community such as in New Britain.

PUBLIC SUFFERS FIRST

Street railways in 81 cities in the
United States are in the hands of
receivers. In other cities hundreds
of miles of street car tracks that
were improbable have been torn up.
Increased fares in these cities were
either too slow in being granted or
were not sufficient when allowed.
The riding public is the first to suf-
| fer when the street car fare is not
sufficient to pay for the cost of servi-
ce. Either the fare must be increas-
ed or the service reduced.
Transportation is community
problem, not merely problem for a
company furnishing transportation
service.
The better the service demanded by
the public and paid for the better the
service supplied. We cannot give
good service unless you want it and
pay for it.
