RIDICULOUS FAD OF FASHION
Description of Head-oress Worn by
Women Some Centuries Ago Ap-
pears Almost Incredible.

Fashion plays constant Franks with
woman'S hair. Addison says in the
Spectator of 171S: There is not SO
variable thing in nature as ladys
head-dress; within my memory have
known 1t to rise and fall above 80
degrees" In the reign of Henry vi,
ladies wore horns, having on each side
ears so large that when they would
pass through the door of room it
was necessary to turn sideways and
stoop. 1t was judged necessary to en-
large the doors of the Chateau de
Vfncennes. The correct angle for the
hair was 45 from perpendicular, which
entailed great strain upon the hair
growing from the forehead. Little
thought Of what we calf cleanliness
or even decency was present at the
hairdressing of that day. Not only
was the hair left untouched for most
revoltingly long time, but materials
were used in the dressing Of the hair
and making the rolls Gas Anna Green
WinslOw related), which were most
Incredible. The Boston Gazette of
May, 1771, tells Of a young woman
driving in Boston streets who was
thrown from her carriage and her high
tower partly torn off. 1t proved to be
stuffed with yarn, tow, wool, curled
hair, and even hay.

Music and THINKING.

About 1000 A. d. monk in an
Italian monastery had been thinking
about the long laborious task of train.
ing singers for the church service. Ten
years were required for singer to
memorize words and music Of the va
rious chants and hymns used! There
was no system for learning new
tune independent of the words.
And while he was thinking he heard
his choirboys practicing one of their
lessons, hymn that rose in pitch with
the first syllable Of each successive
line, just as the scale series was
formed.
Thought flashed!
And the result of his thinking was
the use of the syllables ut (changed
to do later), re, mi, ia, sol, la. 81 to
facilitate scale learning. The imme-
diate result was that Guido's choirboys
learned all their tunes-and could take
new ones-in six months as against
ten years in the old way.
And the indirect result is that boys
and girls in the schools of this country
learn the scales by process similar
to that thought out by monk in Italy
nearly 1000 years ago.

South African Timber.

1t is not so very long ago that
South African timber was, taken all

that imported timber has gone up In

SoIidifed Alcohol.

Solfdified alcohol has proved one Of
the most convenient forms Of fuel, and
is largely made use Of at the pres

are many forms Of cookers making
use of this fuel, and the latest de-
vice Of this character Is sterilizing
apparatus to be made use of by doc

small quantity Of water in the lower
chamber is heated by the flame from
the alcohol and the steam therefrom
passes around the instruments, thor

has the same effect on the contents Of
that compartment. The same princi-

FIRST KNOWN USE OF CIGARS
Mentioned by Name In Book Published
in 174o, but Were Smoked Be-
fore That Time.

The earliest known mention Of
cigars is in book published in 1740
under the title of "Distresses and
Adventures of John Cockburn." It ap-
pears that Cockburn was cast OF des-
ert island in the Bay of Honduras,
from which he swan to the mainland.
and thence Travelled afOct to Porto
Bello, a distance of 2,ec0 miles. Here
he met some friars who gave him
some "seegars" to sInoke. "These,"
he says, "are some leaves Of tobacco
rolled up in some manner that serves
both as pipe and the tobacco ITSELF"
Though this is the earliest date at
which cigars appear to te mentioned
by that name, so far back as 1893
two soldiers sent by Columbus to ex-
plore Cuba told their companions on
their return how the natives carried
in their mouths a lighted firebrand
made from the leaves of certain
herb, rolled up in maize leaves. The
description of an Indian method Of
smoking given by Lionel Wafer. in
his "Travels in the Isthmus of
Darien," in 1899, shows that they
then smoked cigars made just as we
make them now. The manufacture
and consumption Of cigars in northern
Europe only dates from the close Of
the seventeenth century.

EXPLAINING Knockout Blow.

When the lower jaw is struck on its
point, especially with an uppercut, the
bony portion of the ear inside is
driven forcibly upward into the glen
old cavity of the skull, above and be-
hind which is situated the delicate
labyrinth of the inner ear.
The jawbone strikes hard upon the
thin plate of bone that supports these
sensitive organs and gives shock
to the semi-circular canals that is in
stantly transmitted by them to the
bulb, producing dizziness, NAUSEA and
momentary paralysis.
This explains why a sideways blow
on the Jaw Is more effective as a
Knockout than one delivered directly
upon the point Of the jaw. For the
shock Of n sideways blow is received
In one glenoid cavity, that on the side
opposite the one on which 1t is struck,
while the shock Of blow In the CEN
ter is divided between the cavities on
the two sides.

RED CROSS NOTES

Colorado Home Service sections
of the Red Cross have just sub
mitted to Division headquarters
in Denver figures that show 1899
American soldiers have returned
to this state, more or less disabled
as a result of their big adventure
abroad. Practically every county
in Colorado is represented in the
list. One county alone has 700
sick or disabled Yanks, one has
178 another 90.
With the same indomitable
courage and will that marked
their assault on many a German
stronghold the majority of these
Colorado heroes have begun an
assault on the trenches of the
future-they have commenced
training for new professions or
trades. The Red Cross figures.
compiled with the assistance of
the Federal Vocational Training
Board, indicate that Colorado
Yanks are not of the calibre that
is content to sit around with fold
ed hands, feeding on war memoir
les.
An even larger proportion of
the men would now be in training
for new vocations, if more of them
could be shown the advantage and
opportunity that the government
is offering. The Red Cross, thru
it's Home Service sections, of
which there is one in virtually ev-
cry town in the state, is now en-
gagged in the effort to enlist the
balance of the sick or otherwise
disabled men. The Red Cross is
not appealing to the men alone;
rather it is trying to prevail upon
the relatives and friends of the
men to induce the latter to take
up training.
Many men are not aware they
will receive a minimum of $75 a
month while taking this training.
Many men are not even aware
that they are entitled to compen-
sation during the period of their
disability. Many do not know
that the government insurance
that they, perhaps, allowed to
lapse can be reinstated. 1t is these
things and a thousand other SER
vices that the Red Cross stands
ready to render to the soldier or
his family.
There is Home Service repres-
entative in this jurisdiction. Sol
diers and their families should
communicate with it on any and
all problems.
