MANDOLIN IN SECOND PLACE
bfaIians In New York Now Exhibit . Decided Preference for the
 Phonograph.

Many an odd note creeps into the American process of the melting pot; often there is a queer mixture of the modern with the old-established na- tional customs. Probably nowhere in Brooklyn is there a better illustration of this than In the big Italian colony lying in the region between Browns vilie and east New York.
 There nightly you hear the Italians love for music loudly expressed, not through the tinkling mandolin or gull tar of Naples. but through the ultra modern photograph. The moon beams down brightly, and perhaps damseis as fair as those of sunny Italy peep through shuttered windows, but the perenade below is one by proxy. Caruso and Mccormack. Martinelli and Eiezak, Galli- Cnrci and Farrar vie with each other in vocal flights through Aarns of brass and fiber.
 Naturally the beloved mandolin, oft en brought with the bundle of clothes from far-off Sicily or the Neapolitan hinterland, is cherished still, but the native tunes and airs are confined largely to the barber shops or the sadly altered wine cellars.-Brooklyn Ungle.

OVERTURNED AUTO DROWNS
 MAN IN FEET OF WATER

TeXarkana, Oct. 11.-While out riding about three miles east of town about ten o'clock last night, Chas B. Scott, a well known resi- dent of the Arkansas side of town, met with an accident which cost him his life when for some unex- plained reason his automobile jump ed from the road and rolled down the embankment into ditch con taining about two feet of water. Scott was thrown out of the car and was caught by one of the fend- CTS and pinned down under the water and, being unable to extricate himself, drowned before assistance could reach him. The body was brought to town about midnight and prepared for buiral. A woman is said to have been in the car at the time of the accident and was un- hurt and was locked up in the county jail pending a full investi- gation which is being made by the coroner and the shcriff's office. Scott and the woman were the only persons in the car when the mishap took place. Scott is survived by his wife and one brother, William T. Scott.

Loop Elevated AerIaIs.

An extensive research on radio fransmisslons and reception with vari- ous types of aerials has been in prog ress at the bureau of standards, Wash ington, D. C., says the Scientific American. One of the most interesting questions at the present time is as to the relative advantages of the antenna. CT usual type of elevated aerial, and the smaller coil aerial or loop This question is answered by the studies of the bureau. The small coil aerial has many advantages. but S usually not so powerful transmitting and receiving device as the antenna type of aerial. It may. however, have so much lower resistance than the antenna that it ik equal to it in transmitting and receiv- ing value.

Helen Suffers q
 S25O,OOO Fire Loss

Helena, Oct. 10--Fife, originat- ing in a tenement building occu- pied by negroes on Simmons Alley at 2 o'clock this afternoon, swept through portions of four blocks and destroyed property estimated to be worth $250,000 before it could be brought under control.
 Hundreds of negroes were rem dered homeless and more than dozen firms were driven temporarily from business.
 The district in which the fire started was densely populated by negroes living in wooden tenements. Varying winds made the work of the Fire Department extremely diff cult. For a while the fire moved in all directions from the place of origin, but the wind finally blew from the west, and the flames head ed towards the river, sweeping ev- erything in their path until they reached Walnut street, where they were gotten under control and final ly extinguished through the combined efforts of the Fire Department and hundreds of citizens acting as vol unteers.
 It is estimated that between 40 and 50 negro tenements and negro stores were destroyed. 1t is prob able that none of them were insured
 Business Houses Burn.
 Among the business and indus trial plants destroyed were the yard and and plant of the Max Layne Lumber Company, the Hayes & Prewitt livery stable, the Southern Bottling Works, the E. M. Polk Wholesale Grain and Feed store, the Coca-Calo Bottling Company, the Chero-Cola Bottling Company, Mes sina Bros. garage, R. G. Towards grocery store, the O'Leary Produce Company, Lawrence Notto's grocery tsore and Swift & Company's sub station. Several small stores oper- ated by Italians also were destroyed.
 Seven of the larger business houses were brick structures erected less than three years ago. The heaviest losers from the fire are Dr. H. H. Rightor, Mrs. A. P. Cool idge and J. c. Barlow, Jr.
 Negroes rendered homeless will be cared for tonight by the several large negro churches in the city and tomorrow an effort will be made to provide them with permanent quarters. The housing situation, al- ready serious municipal problem, has been rendered more acute by the fire.

MYSTERY OF GREAT LAKES
Scientists Unable 10 Explain the Riss
 and Fall of the Water Along the Border.

Why does the water in the great lakes that lie between a large portion of the United States and Canada rise and fall in periods which average sev- en yearsf This natural phenomenon has been a puzzle since the days when France held sway in Canada POO years ago.
 In an unpublished diary of an Eng fish traveller who voyaged up the St. Lawrence river to Niagara. Ontario, fin the summer of 1785. is the follow ing reference to this mystery of the waters: "A remarkable circumstance was told me by Mir. Pansee. our con- ductor, who had been constantly en- Raged in this navigation for nearly twenty years, and which he advised me is a matter of fact both from his own observation and that of the old est inhabitant. Each year the St. Lawrence river settles or falls little until the seventh year, when 1t is visi- ble that 1t has sunk between three and four feet, and then for the next seven years 1t continues to rise in the same proportion. The river Is at this time at its greatest elevation (July l, 17S5). I took pains to gain some 1n- formation of this uncommon phenom- enon. I find that the lakes have the same appearance"
 Careful government records were be- gun about the year 1920 and since then 1t has been found that the periods be- tween high and low water are some times as low as four years and some times as high as nine years, although they average seven years. This year the water Is again at it's lowest in the lakes and river. and freight car riers are having trouble in various harbors.-Christian Science Monitor.

TRAIN YOUR HAIR AS AN

much time to beauty as do actresses,
and no class must be more careful

Inquiry develops the information

gerous to shampoo with any make
shift hair cleanser. The majority
say that to have the best hair wash
and scalp stimulator at a cost of
about three cents, one need only get
a package OF canthrox from your
druggist; dissolve a teaspoonful in a
cup Of hot water and your shampoo
is ready This makes enough sham
poo liquid to apply it to all the hair
instead Of just the top Of the head.
After its use the hair dries rapidly,
with uniform color. Dandruff, excess
oil and dirt are quickly dissolved
and entirely disappear when you
rinse the hair. After this your hair
will be so fluffy 1t will look much
heavier than 1t is. Its luster and
softness will delight you. while the
stimulated scalp gains the health
which insures hair growth.-Adv.
