The accident which snatched victory
from De Palma was tragic. The noted
Italian was racing at brcakneck speed
when a sheet of flame licked its way

De Palma, broken hearted over his
misfortune, ran to the pits mile
away for fresh supply of gasoline,
staggering back under the weight of
the heavy cans.

themselves fragrant with perfume, ac-
cording to, q compilation of the lux

by Uncle Sam.
The cost of cosmetics and perfume
was more than twice that Of women's
furs-in Il year when the fur prices
were the highest in history. The
amount spent on furs was approx
mately S3OOOOO,OOO.
The year 1919 was luxurious, ac-
ccrding to the tax figures, which show
that the amount spent on luxuries was
SO, 700,000,000. The ladies did their
part in spending money on luXurles,
but the expenditures were not confined

Furthermore, FL Universal asserts
that the present Mexican government

days ago q similar demonstration was
held in the state of Nyarit. for
merly known as the state OF Topic.
Additional evidence that very little
is being done 10 check the spread OF

Mexican government has failed TO
keep its word, given few weeks ago,
TO deport from the country the vari-
Gus alien agitators, who, 1t is admit
ted, are the leaders and the brains OF
the Mexican radical movement.
In Announcing that the Fourth in

animation is noted because by resolu-
ton taken in the Third information
ale, held in Moscow last June. the

Mexico City next January.
''The First International was held

the third in Moscow and the fourth

''In the Third International, as we
were told by various leaders Of the
workingmen, 1t was agreed that as
the first three internationales had been
held in Europe, it was proper to hold

l. Question. l have heard that
wearing cotton in the ears will pre-
vent one from catching cold. Is that
true?
Answer. There is no possible
vestige of truth in the statement that
gearing cotton in. the ears will pre-
vent persons from catching cold
easily Furthermore, ear specialists
will tell you that the ear should not
be stuffed with cotton because the
cotton backs the natural drainage of
the ear and may lead to much trou-
BILE, and perhaps deafness. Doctors
sometimes advise putting in cotton
for some special purpose, but only for
short time.

2. Question. My daughter is
troubled with very profuse nose
bleeds. She breathes through her
mouth nearly all the time too. Do
you think having her tonsils and
adenoids removed would cure her
nose bleeds?
Answer. Having tonsils and ad-
enoids removed often does result in
curing nose bleeds. The presence of
tonsils and adenoids is the reason for
your daughters breathing through
the mouth instead of her nose. The
safest way is to have them removed
just as soon as you can.
2. Question. No two members of
my family can agree on the right
temperature for our rooms. When
one is just comfortable another is
roasting" and two or three others
"fairly freezing" The result is a
constant jangling. We've agreed to
let you settle the>question. What is
the right temperature?
Answer. In summer, people want
to keep cool; in winter they want
to be hot. A temperature of so de-
grees to 65 degrees F. in summer is
just right, but in winter people
clamor to have their homes IS de-
grees-78 degrees. The ideal temper
ature is 68 degrees. Quarreling over
