Worry Really Wicked.

Worry is really an evidence of lack
of self-cOnf1dence and Of faith in the
power that runs the universe. 1t is
a lack Of faith in the power that, pro.
yided you do your part, will always
bring things out better than you posi-
bly, could by yourself alone. Why
should you worry, why should you
fear, why should you be anxious, when
Gods vision and omnipOtence are al.
ways ready to guide and serve you?
There never has been an instant in
your life. my friend, which you could
have Safeguarded or provided for with
a thOusandth part Of the wisdom with
which God has guarded and provided
for it. 1t is really reflection upon
him to be anxious about the future. ia

Many ROADS TO KNOWLE0Gz
For Instance, ImpUdent Fake Resulted
In Opening Up the Field of
Electro Therapy.

Along the road that leads to knowl-
edge are scattered many fake-shops,
which as a rule do a lOurishing and
profitable business. For the chief
weakness of the human mind is credu-
lily.
But by curious paradox, the foolish
ness factories every now and then
produce something that proves of SUBJ
stantial usefulness to science.
For example. In New England many
years ago a man named Perkins in
vented what he called a magnetic
tractor" for drawing diseases out of
folk. 1t was shaped like a pair Of
compasses, with one leg of silver and
the other Of copper. When the two
points were passed over the afflicted
part Of the body the instrument was
supposed by some electrical means to
alleviate or cure the trouble.
The tractors" undoubtedly did
benefit many people; also Perkins,
who sold them for IS apiece They
made such q sensation that scientists
took the matter up, investigating It
thoroughly and proving that magma
ton did the work. BlindfOIded per-
sons were relieved of pain by the con-
tact Of couple Of pointed sticks Of
wood, which they mistOOk for the in
strument in question.
The whole business was plain fool
tshness. Nevertheless, the interest
1t awakened led to the first opening up
of the field of electrO-therapy, discOv-
cries Of which have proved Of such
immense Importance to medical sci
ence.

WAS AHEAD OF HIS TIME
Peter HeUIein, Who Made the First
Watch, Accused Of Witcheraft and
Thrown Into Prison.

There is in existence today letter
dated April %. 1927, from Martin LII
Their to Father Frederick PistOriuS.
the last abbot Of st. Aegiduis in MI
remberg, in which he thanks the alb
bot for the gift of a watch, and adds
Il feel compelled to become a pupil
of our mathematician in order to I'M
derstand this unique timekeeper."
Never before had he seen such an OBJ
ject.
As he was familiar with clocks.
what he meant evidently, was that
the time indicators on the clock were
different from those on the watch
which had been given to him. 1t is
quite probable he had in his posses
sion the first watch made by Peter
Heulein, or at least one of his first
ones. This Peter HeuIein was a black
smith and lOcksmith and devoted his
time to mathematics and watchmak-
ing, for which he was thrown into
prison charged with witchcraft, which
was then one Of the easy ways of dis
posing Of a rival or of a person who
did things out of the ordinary.
But Peter persevered, and the name
OF Heulein and Nuremburg Is preserved
by monument in his native town.

"Kniahts of the Hammer. {"

Some folks always see things
through indigo glasses. Neither rea,
son nor evidences of success can
change the hue. Everything is on the
road to ruin and the talk is the kind
that drops the bottom out of a fellows
ambitions. The only way to get pearo
when they are around is to keep them
so busy that they do not have time
to use the hammer. If you can keep
their minds off themselves there is q
chance to have some good work from
them. They are often skillful enough
if you can only get them busy. And
as long as you can keep them busy
they have no time to think about
themselves. And you may be one of
these folks. If you are, get busy and
stay busy. It's the only way to be
happy and fair with your feIIOwmen.-

UNIQUE SCHEME OF REVENGE
Sardonie Humor In Tale Of How
Frenehman SCOT Even" With
His Fellow citizens.

A quaint short story by ROdolphe
Bringer, a marvel Of French brevIty,
appeared not long ago in L'Humanite.
1t is called 1.-THE Benefactor's Re
venge," and the tale Is Of millionaire
in small town who was piqued be-
cause he was not elected mayor. Pres
emily he died, partly of annoyance.
The funeral was magnificent, but the
townsfOlk did not attend. They dis
trusted the millionaire. Imagine the
shock Of pleasure, then, when they
learned that he had bequeathed 3,OOO,-
600 francs to the municipality 1t
was given on condition that the town
should undertake to n0urish and sus-
tain all the poor, without distinction
Of age, sex or nationality, who lived
within its boundaries. At once the
popularity of the deceased took a ire
mendOus jump. A philanthrOpist; he
had been misjudged. A pedestal was
prepared for his statue. Today the
pedestal still remains uncrOwned. A
town that was hard working and I'M
known to poverty and misery became
the mecca for all the scamps in France.
Since the day on which the will was
proclaimed tramps, rOgues and
apaches have not ceased to pour
through its gates. At last it awOke to
the dark intention of its benefactOr.-

SIT Is an entirely erroneous idea
that human beings derive their energy

claims that he lives like the hares and

rapidly, but cannot be supplemented"
Mr.. Arid Is an engineer. Formerly
he suffered from very bad health, but
after six years Of experimenting In
dieting came to the conclusion that
knocked fruit and vegetables formed
ideal fare. Today, although nearly
fifty, he claims the feelings Of boy

Appreciated cooper's Work.

The first American novel to win pop
ularity outside our own language is
said to have been James FenimOre
COOper's "Spy." Cooper had to publish
it at his own expense, as no American
publisher would accept 1t. 1t was
quickly translated into French. German
and Spanish, and later was published
in thirty-fOur different places in Flu
rope. Cooper TRANSACTIONS are often
better literature than the original. as
the best elements of the story are not
lost in translation and many stylistic
defects disappear in the hands of a
literary translator.

And in the picture of the girl with the
big hat note how it's bigness softens what
would otherwise be face slightly inclined
to heaviness. The draped feather, the
curves of the shape, the dimensions-all
serve to diminish any heaviness and to
transform it into a melting sweetness.
In the chic little bonnet is girl with
a perfect profile. 1t is what you call IN
the States a cute face-nose trifle up
tilted roguish. And the silhouette of the
hat is in perfect harmony with this
ROBUSTNESS.
These are object lessons, each in perfect
taste. .
and place 1t upon the girl with the up
turned nose you would see most remark
able clashing. The somewhat sharp little
profile would have its sharpness accentu-
ated. The fine spirit of roguishness would
vanish. The whole effect would be COM

And, conversely, the cute little hat upon
the larger girl would cause the illusion OF
almost unpleasant heaviness.
While either hat upon the wistful beauty
would be grotesque.

By Lady Duff Gordon

TT occurred to me when l was writing
last week about the danger Of un-
l dressed dresses and their resolutions
a subject of-fully equal importance is the
dressing of the face.
Now, no one can lay the charge that the
undressed face is immodest. OF course,
certain Eastern peoples have thought so,
notably the Turks--but the new freedom
has, even in Turkey, allowed woman to re-
veal her head, from the shoulders up, with
out the old charge of immodesty being
brought. These matters are, after all, so
much matter Of geography! ~.
The undressed face can, repeat never
be immodest. The dressed face can, how
:yer, be really immodest-if you use that
word in the sense Of too great allurement,
wantonness, provocativeness and, greatest
Of all sins, disharmony.,
The dressings of face are: Hats, bon
nets, caps, wells, feathers, jewels, head
dresses, strands of various ornamental ma
terials, ear pendants. necklaces, collars
and wigs.
With all these we strive to bring out
the beauties Of the face, socentuate them.
call attention to them-or conversely, use
them to hide and diminish faults And
so It Is upon the face that we should give
the most careful thought. The face Is the
visible expression OF the mind within.
More women have passed muster with
pretty face and not so pretty bodies than
have those with beautiful bodies but un-
attractive faces. Again, we see by this
how really important the face is.
But we have other evidence.

The rules for dressing the face are
really very simple. They can be formu-

To avoid over-elaboration.
To strive for absolute harmony between
the face-and by the face ] take down as
far as the shoulders--and that with which
II is decorated.
To use nothing which will not further
express the actual charms Of the face or
