SNOW ARRIVES MONDAY
Hishway Commissioner Prsparss For
 Days and Wssks of Blizzard

Shortly before noon on Monday the first snowfiakes of the season fell lazily on the city, following Sunday that was one of the coldest days yet experienced. Ponds and pools were glazed over with a thin coating of ice.
 Preparatory for winter such as was experienced last year, the high way workers are oiling up the blows and lining up the shovels. Drift breaks for the protection of the main highways have been erected in many places, notably on the road between Putnam and Pomfret, where directly in front of the residence of Mrs. John Addison Porter, long lines of scaffold, resembling baseball bleachers, have been lined up at one of the worst and bleakest portions of the road.

Your Child's Beauty
By Lima Cavalier,
The Most Famous Living Beauty.

17HD beauty Of . child is a nat
ural heritage. but it can be
- lost or marred Just as easily
as that OF an ADULT. 1t is also pos.
sible to train a child to beauty, and
this training should consist Of two
means. One is to teach the little
one the habit OF personal dainti-
ness. The other is to impress upoa
children while very young the prin-
ciples OF health.
AS the child's parent, guardian or
teacher L Is. of course, part of your
duties TO correct any physical de-
fects by early attention to them on
your own part.
For instance, there Is the child
whose beauty may be marred by
outstanding ears. This is entirely
unnecessary, because, II taken in
time, tho ears may be pressed back
against the head by a compress
made at home and worn at night
A bandage, easily made at home,
consists OF a long folded STRIP OF
muslin. twisted first around the
head beneath the chin. then around
the neck, then over the crown OF
the head, the ends Of the strips OF
muslin being drawn rather tightly
over the ears ard factc7ed to one
of the lengthwise strips by safety
pins.
II you find the child often breath
ing with difficulty he probably suf-
fers from that growth at the back
OF the nostrils called adeno!ds.
Take him to a physician and have
them removed, so preventing a long
train OF disasters, mental and ply
steal, whose outward SIGNS are that
strained, dropping countenance we.
know as an adenoid face. Don't let
any charlatan try TO convince you
that they can be cured In any other
way.
Look to the fact that the child's
teeth have good start. A little
watchfulness will cause the first
set to be drawn IN good time for
the second to come in straight and
strong.
Teach the little one to take pride
In their Wilderness. Furnish a pure
powder or paste, or let her use
powder for one cleansing and a
paste for the next, and so on. alter
mating. Teach her to brush the
teeth up and down, not across, and
TO brush them inside as we'll as
out. and along the crowns. Help |
her TO form the habit OF always |
rinsing her mouth with warm |
water, or with warm salt water, II

TROBABLY no one detail OF
home construction is more
important and yet more sadly
neglected than that OF lighting.
Now that most Of our homes arc
equipped with either gas or cleo
tricity, II is necessary that'both the
architect and the home maker make
a real study OF the kind OF fixtures
used and the manner In which they
are placed.
When we first began to use edo.
tricity We unfortunately copied the
crude, garish bulbs of the factory
or Office. We placed a bunch OF
four or more exposed bulbs on q
central chandelier and called Il
lighting Nothing could be worse
than this, because such exposed
bulbs give a harsh light and be-
cause they cast the light dow award
and too strongly into the eyes. An
other mistake was the use OF .
large dome above the dining-room
table-a dome set at such height
that the light was directed pain
fully into the eyes Of the persons
sitting around the table.
We now know that all lighting In
any room must conform to either
one Of two needs: U General illu-.
animation OF the entire room, as by
an overhead fixture; (2) special d.
rect light on certain surfaces, as for
reading. playing music, etc.
Recently we have developed to
high perfection what is called I'm
direct lighting which means the
use Of a central inverted glass bowl,
which casts lie light upward to the
ceiling IL a soft glow, lighting the
whole room without any direct
glare. This is immeasureably SUI
perfor to the old type Of fixture
with its exposed bulbs and harsh.
glazing li@ht II Is possible to Sc
cure the indirect" lind Of light g
in all styles Of fixture, and this
type is suitable to halls, living
room, dining room or any place
where general illumination is re-
quired.
But with this indirect lighting we
must have side brackets or porta-
BILE lnmrs to est direct light on
needed places. Unfortunately MANY
wall fixtures are placed either too
high or too low and are not ar
ranged symmetrically. Wall fixtures

BALD-HEADED MEN SHUN BARBER SHOPS

Bobbed hair among the young girls of Birmingham is getting to be all the rage.
 It fs estimkted by those who seem to know that soon there will be several hundred young women with sTrene Castle" hair about over the city.
 More. than dozen downtown barber shops reported that they had bobbed several young misses' hair during the past week.
 Yes, sir. They stepped right in over the shaving mugs and efgar stuba and everything, climbed into the high chair, looked vampish-like into the barber's eyes and said, sCut lem off,"
 According to the latest reportss the situation now stands thuss
 Barbers~of the city are consid- ering whether or not to adopt . plan whereby young women under IS years of age will he required to bring q signed letter from their parents stating that they give their consent to have the young wOmnn's hair bObbed.
 Last, but not least. is the fact that the invasion of the young women into the downtown barber shops is believed to be the cause of the stacking up of the trade of the bald-hended men of the city.
 It is said that no bald-heaAed man has the nerve tO walk into . barber shop when hair is Iyfng around eight and ten inches long III over the floor.
