SERGEANT HOWELL'S TRIP

SERGEANT HOWELLS TRIP.
Sergeant Albert Howell visited
Chanbcry and AK les Bains. AK
les Bains was the first place operated
as leave aren for the A. e. T.. and
one OF the leading Summer resorts
of France. 1t is situated between
the boundary lines of Switzerland and
Italy. 1t Is one OF the most histor-
zeal places of tho world. 1t is the
burial place of Charlomagne.
Going up steep hill east OF the
city We came to tho Hotel Cahbcrt
and in whose cellar we saw part Of
the old Roman Baths. These arc
believed to have been built in 1872
b. G.. and OF have been fed from tho
hot alum springs further up the hill.
Numerous brick pillars arc still there
which support tho various baths, part
OF an old Roman tub, made Of heavy
stone, with steps leading down to It,
with n fire box underneath, where
fire could be built to keep the huge
tub itself warm.
Continuing then through dark
winding passage, I came out on the
remains Of an old Roman swimming
pool. Octagonal in shape and sup
ported originally on n hundred quad
rangular pillars, made OF bricks, on
some of which the namo OF the man.

One Of the main charms OF hix-les
Bains, Is Lake Bourget. 1t is sit
uated less than two miles from tho
city. Lake Bourgot Is only eleven
miles long, but It is the largest Lake
III France. 1t has been immortal
lied by tho little Lamartino Gle Lac)
written In ono OF the poets favorite
haunts on Trosscrve Hill. A curious
freak OF nature converted what used
to be tho head into tho foot. Tho
outlet was formerly Mt the south end
toward Chanbery, but in the year
12dS, q landslide occurred from Mt
TRAINER (south OF CRANBERRY and so
much earth came down that it actual
ly damned up the outlet, driving the
water In tho opposite direction.
AS n result tho water now goes out
the north end through tho channel
of Savieres, into the Rhono River.
TWO other strange facts I was told
concerning this lake. First, found
it was located in freezing territory
and the first thing that came to my
mind was skating, but was told
that there had never been any ice on
1T, condition attributed to probable
subterranean hot springs, that may
empty into It. Second, the level Of
tho water sometimes rises or falls
very rapidly. as much as three feet
in three weeks. This not only de-
ponds on local range, but also on
temperature, which thaws or freezes

I would llke to say more about the
natural scenery Of AK les Bains, but
time will not permit.

PROGRESSIVE STUDY CLUB
 MEETING

The Progress Study club, which is com posed of number of Birmingham society girls and few young matrons met yes terday afternoon for the first time in more than year at the home of Miss Josephine Cosby. The club disbanded for the duration of the war. as many of the members were active in war work and others doing their bit. Yesterday after noon was spent in telling of their per-
 sonal experiences of the past few months. The club was especially fortu- nate in having two of their former mem bers with them yesterday, Miss Avis Myatt, who has made a most enviable reputation with her work abroad in the recreation huts, and Mrs. Skinner of Cleveland, O.. who was formerly Miss Virginia Abbott. Mrs. Skinner served most excellently with the Red Cross at several camps, and later married Cap tain Skinner of the regular army. Both of these young women gave most inter- esting and delightful talks of their work and army life. The club has about IS members on the roll, and Miss Martha Bradshaw is the president. The vice president, Miss Margaret Coleman, has recently resigned Bliss Eyelina Wilker- son is the secretary and treasurer. The club will meet this winter each week and will take up active club work.

Peach Orchard, Ark.-Mrs. Nonie High, who lives near here, states: "Sometime ago I began to have trou- ble with my back. I would ache and I could hardly get up when down. I was so weak I would just drag around and did not feel like doing anything at all. I was so nervous I felt could scream and |. such heavy feel ing I could not rest at all It looked like was going to get down in bed
 I heard of Cardui and thought I would try it and see what 1t would do for my case. After taking few bot ties grew stronger = The bloated, heavy feeling left me. I wasn't so nervous. in fact. felt better all over took twelve bottles and certainly was greatly benefited and can recommend it to any one as a tonic or builder.

known. 1ou can do It, as thousands of others have already done A few days use of this formula will convince you that what I say is right. Not half of its wonderful work has been told. Just try it. Hair will stop falling. thin spots will fill in. and your hair will be the envy of your many friends. Add one ounce of beta qunol. go cents worth, to a half pint each of bay rum and water Cor full pint of witch h-hazel instead), and mix thoroughly. Use this mixture literally every day. It is not oily. and is very pleasant to use. You will find it exceedingly economical
 BERTHA T.-Here is wrinkle formula which has never failed to do perfect work. You can make it at home in a few moments and it costs less than any wrinkle treat pared. Get two-ounce package of eptol 50 cents worth. and mix this with two tablespoonfuls of glycerine in half a pint of water. Apply literally every day. The skin will grow more plump. and deep lines. crows gradually fill out and vanish.
 HIRSUTE--You can be sure that there is but one sensible way to remove hairs from the upper lip and, in fact, from any part of the body. It is foolish to burn" them off, injuring and spotting the skin. Just moisten the hairs with sulfo solution, secured from the drug store for one dollar. This will &C., tually disolve away the hairs completely. and leave the skin superby soft and smooth. 1t will not irritate the most delicate skin.

DUEL PNEUMATIC TIRES
 ARE POPULAR IN EUROPE

One feature of truck operation which has found great vogue in Eu. rope, but which is believed to have very little change of any general ad- option here is the use of dual pneuma- tic tires.
 The United States Tire Company's experts are of the opinion that the large single pneumatic tire meets all the requirements, and that the use of the dual tire is decidedly unsound practice.
 IL is obvious that when truck equipped with duals travels over un- even paVements or crowned roads most of the weight of the car many times rests on one, instead of both of the pair. The one tire IS not strong enough to carry the full weight and rapid deterioration of the abused tire is the result A further reason why dual pneumatics should not be used is that it is practical impossibihty to

 The big pneumatic is purely an Am erican development. European tire makers so far as can be learned were never successful in producing satis- factory pneumatjcS of the large truck sizes, and eontented themselves in meeting the requirements for addi- tional strength by the simple exped- tent of using two smaller tires.
