To Remove First
 Signs of Old Age

''The infallible first sign of age is the sagging cheek muscles" says Nine Cavateri whose fame as a beauty cul- turist is scarcely less than that as a songstress. These are more difficult and serious to treat than wrinkles" she continues The ssggins muscles indicate they have grown too weak to remain in place; they must be assisted, strengthened"
 The best waysto strengthen them is by bathing the face in a simple lotion made by dissolving an ounce of pure powdered saxolite in a half pint of witch hazel. This creates a freer cir culation to the parts. besides causing muscles and-skin 10 contract. Ssxolite procurable at every drug store. has long been known by complexion Epe- cialists to possess remarkable tonic and astriugent properties. valuable in treating nabby tissue and wrinkles.

x.Rsx psvsIopmsnt.

Development in the efficiency of the Roentgen ray, commonly called the X-ray. has brought this subtle force to point where it can penetrate three inches of steel, six inches of alloy and twelve inches of wood.
 Demonstrations recently made bg Major c. ". C. Kaye before the Brit ish royal institution proved that lead was the most effective resistant to the ray. and that a layer of about one leighth of an inch of lead gave full pro- lection to the operator. Many persons have been seriously injured and sev- ersl have met their death through
 burns" received from X-rays, due 10 I lack of safeguards.
 Major Kaye showed a number of rsdiograph slides illustrating the prac- tical application of the science to com mercial and other purposes. Radi- ography. he said. had shown flaws in the cylinders of airplane engines. and so prevented accidents. He displayed the conicai end Of a petrol tank having rivet heads outside. but none on the inside. Similarly. a photographic ex- animation Of the steel axles of under carriages had disclosed serious defects. The, axles had been drilled in the wrong position and the holes had been simply filled with metal and filled over. An entire lot was rejected in conse- quenee and probably serious accident was averted.
 The demonstrator showed how ra- biography had been successfully sD- piled 10 the examination of the works of old masters. He exhibited slides O, two pictures by Dutch painters, one Representing the Madonna and another
 the Crucifixion. In the former the Ma

CROWD THRoNGs BANKS. ..
 AT THE FINISH LINE


 Harvard winsl Poor old Eli, It was a typical boat race crowd that gathered around the finish line. at Bartlett's cove frlday afternoon just as the warm June sun was sinking slowly to rest behind the green and picturesque hills that ma lestlcally guard the Thames on it's way 10 the Sound. These majestic guardians In their stately majesty were rocked With the exultant cheers from a victory mad crowd as the Harvard shell propell- ed by eight clean-limbed, bronzed youths shot over the finish line six lengths ahead of the Yale boat in which eight youths gamely swung their oars, an ex- hausted and defeated crew
 Towering over the course from the | start to the finish were two seapIanes re- sembling two gigantic sea gulls as they 1 foated hither and thither across the path 1 of the struggling crews far below. ap- parently oblivious to the battle being waged that meant victory or defeat to two of the largest colleges in the east. 1 The majority of the crowd paid little at tention to these huge ships of the air and were chiefly interested in the scenes on | the river, only glancing up occasionally | when the sharp staccato of the exhausts startled them. The display of yachts along the course | seemed to be less than in previous years l ana lnere were fewer or the smaller craft. Occupying a position near the finish was the Nelseco on which was the pupils of the Norwich Commercial school | The observation trains putting their | winding way up the stream were well filled with a wildly cheering mob of graduates and undergraduates. making 8 pretty picture with the red and blue vie ing each other in br4lliancy. Cheer upon cheer for the victorious Harvard crew resounded from the train and not to be outdone the Yale supporters, although defeated gave back cheer for cheer.
 The motion picture operators were or the scene early in the afternoon, shoot ing the crowds gathered there and at the finish. of the race. getting the victoriou! crew as they crossed. the line and tht losers, their strike and bow oars trailing in the water, the hands of their exhaust ed masters being unable to grip them. Every available parking space for au tomobiles was taken, and many hundreds of cars from all parts of the country gaily decorated in red or blue, topped tht hills on both sides of the river opposit, the finish line.
 After A , gruelling race had been wol and the crews had regained their breatl i they took up oars again, the tired bu happy Harvard crew rowing to the guar l ters at Red Top, while the warriors o } the Blue -rowed- wearily to, their hous ei at Gales Ferry. A mighty cheer wen l upt from the crowds as the crews pulle away and as the last echo died anon the hills the crowd turn their faces t
 the west, leaving the Thames in all it : beauty until another year rolls around.

For making hog of himself over guinea hens eggs a six foot black snake is now a captive at the store of C. ". Pendleton on Broadway and is on display in the window.
 Lafayette Main brought the snake in from North Stonington, having captured it as it was trying to crawl into wall with a stomach full of a dozen eggs stolen from guinea hens nests. The snake crawled out of the wall all right, but the eggs swelled him out so much that he could not crawl back and was easily captured.
 After the big snake had been brought here he dsgorged three of the eggs still unbroken, but the other nine could be seen far down in his body by the swell ing they made as they were all swallow ed whole.
