Plan Anti-Aircraft Units.

Plan Antf-Aircraft Units.
Following completion of plans for

Guard and the organized reserves,
anti-aircraft regiments for these com

peace establishment table OF or
ganiZation for an anti-aircraft bat
| talon which would contain the three
| elements of an anti-aircraft regiment
| (anti-aircraft guns, searchlights and
machine guns). has been prepared and
| probably will be approved. The pur-
pose of the War Department is to or
ganize three such battalions as part

I tion with the fixed coast defenses. The
war strength tables of organization
provide for anti-aircraft regiments

battalions could be easily expanded.
Omcers' Efficiency Ratings.

has been no recent change in the
method Of classification and no criti-
cism has come to their notice, and that
| the officers of the combatant arms de-

tent that they will receive just treat

hands of the chiefs of their respective

An officer commissioned in the line

Pretty Japanese Custom That Is Re.

Period of Courtship.

The Japanese counting is as apt

If she losses it out his suit is reject
ed, but If she fastens it at her kimono
girdle the affair may go forward. An
other method is for the lover to slip
up to his loved ones door at mid
night and fasten a spray Of blooming
fcelastrus alatus above the door. The
next morning he walks by the house.
II the spray is still there, all is over.

Trees Look Like Ostrich Tips.

Forestry associations in the East
have developed the habit of touring
the national parks and national for
ests Of the West, and are bringing
hack many interesting feature pictures

photographs in New York Forestry is
the ostrich tree Of Monterey, Cal.
AS matter of fact it would be
quite as easy and far more correct to
say trees in this case, for the cele-

WHY SOME DYES ARE "FAST"
Vegetable and Animal Compounds Su.
perior to Any Products of the
Chemists Laboratory.

Some dyes are FAST" others fade
either when the goods are washed or
when they are exposed to the sunlight.
The fastness or otherwise of color
depends upon the arrangement Of the
atoms that make up it's molecules. If
these be closely interviewer, neither
light nor water can separate them;
but if they are loosely joined together
light and water make them disinte-
CRATE: Most of our modern dyes are
derived from coal tar and consist Of
atoms Of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen
and other elements. The vegetable
dyes usually contain no other elements
but carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
That is why, being SO simple, such
colors as Iogwood and natural indigo
are the fastest Of all. The few ami
nal dyes-cochineal, for example
are fast for the same reason. But
the so-called anilin dyes are the prod
uct of the chemists laboratory and
are complex and loosely Lound COM
binations of the atoms Of many ele-
mcnts There are acid dyes and al
kaline dyes, and before APPLYING them
to any stuff one must know whether
the cells of this are acid or alkaline
in reaction. For opposites attract,
likes repel. Therefore we must use
acid dyes for alkaline materials and
alkaline dyes for acid materials.

BuriaIs in 1.-THE Abbey"

Westminster Gazette: How many
more burals will there be in West
minister abbey? Within its walls lie
the remains Of close on three thou
sand people, and so numerous are the
monuments and memorials that it is
impossible to prevent them jostling
each other without the slightest pre-
tentions to artistic arrangement. Both
Westminster abbey and st. Pauls' are
excepted from the general prohibition
of intramural interments, but the
time has almost arrived when, from
sheer want of space, no further burials
will be possible in the abbey. It has
been suggested that national mau-
solemn should be provided by utilizing
the old "undcrcroft" to the east of the
Great Cloisters, part of which is the
Chapel Of the Pyx and part Of the
gymnasium of Westminster school.
Though this Is outside the abbey itself,
1t is in the abbey precincts.

Old EnaIand's Twelfth Njoht.

Twelfth night Is time-honored fes-
tival in England, the chief feature of
the evening being the cutting of a
cake containing various small articles
Of special meaning. The incOmpar-
able Pepys rarely fails to. make spe-
ciai reference to the date in his diary.
He has been to see "Twelfth Night
and finds it "but silly play, not re-
lating at all to the name or day." AT
another time his wife and her COM
pany stay up all night to celebrate,
but he merely chooses his piece of
cake and goes.-tn- bed. Again he at
tends great dinner on twelfth night,
and as his piece Of the cake contains
Glove, "the mark Of the knave," he
s!yly manages to stuff it into the slice
taken by another man. A year or SO
later he celebrates the date with a
simply gorgeous time at his own
house. his guests staying all day aDd
until midnight. He says: I'm the
evening 1 did bring out my cake-a
noble cake-and there cut, 1t into
pieces with wine and good drink.
And so we were mighty merry
till 1t was midnight; and, being moon
shine and fine frost. they went home,
lending some Of them my coach to
help to carry them"

DECISION~CUJ LEGAL TANGLE
Point Involved in English Lawsuit
Seems Hardly Worth the Time
and Money Expended.

On the last day Of the last month
in tho year 1909 a very curious legal
battle was fought between the English
crown and gentleman, lord Of the
manor Of Holderness; it was strug-
gle for a cask Of wine thrown upon
the scashOre on the coast Of that par
ticuIar manor.
The lords bailiffs and the customs
officers both raced to the spot and the
contendng parties each laid hold Of
the cask. Then the officers decided
to go back to the custom house for
further Instructions and during their
absence the bailitfs removed the cask
to the cellar Of the manor house.
At the trial the arguments on both
sides were very learned and exceed
ingIy lengthy. The decision Of the
court was in favor Of the lord on the
grounds that no permit is required to
remove spirits unless it has paid duty;
that wine to be liable to duty must
be imported; that wine cannot be i'm
ported by itself, but requires the
agency of someone else to do it; that,
therefore, wine wrecked, having come
OIL shore by itself or without human
volition or intention, was not import
ed and was not subject to duty, and
did not require a permit for its re-
moval.-Chicago Journal.

TRAVEL At TERRIFIC SPEED
EIectrors Can Be Sent Through the
Air at the Rate Of $4,000
Miles a Second,

An airplane doing 200 miles an hour
is considered to be fairly speedy OBJ
ject, but its flight is cumbersome COM
pared to another form Of movement,
form that has been measured, and
one that man can make at will. The
200 miles an hour becomes pale when
1t is known that man sends certain
things ut the rate of 10000 miles a
second, or more than twice around the
world while watch ticks. This is
about one-thIrd as fast as light travels,
and If the objects mentioned could be
directed they would reach the moon
In four seconds.
The units thus created are electrons,
and they have been sent ut the terrific
rate Of speed mentioned in glass tubes
from which certain amount Of air
has been pumped. They are what
CrOOkes called the fourth state Of mat
ter" solid, liquid and gas, having long
been familiar to every one. There is
4 theory now held by some scientists
that these electrons ore the basic mat
ter Of everything in, on or under the
earth, the substance Of which MOLE
cules and atoms are made, and that
they are in themselves force or move
mcnt, that every one Of them has been
on or In the earth since the origin OF
time millions. of years ago, and they
always will be in some form or other

being, perhaps child's toy or part

ORIGIN Of the Name "Sni.a.Bar."

This story Is told regarding the ORR
gin Of the name of Sni-a>Bar creek.
The story runs that in an early day a
Frenchman named Abar was ascending
the Missouri river in a Canadian boat.
just below the present site of the
town of Wellington he came to the
mouth of a little river or creek.
"See now, my children; here we
have sni, placed by the good God
for our backs relief" he said. "A
little breathing space, quiet time,
resting from the river. All, the
dear snil
Sni is French for slough. Abar fam
cied he had struck quiet loop of
backwater which would lead him again
to the river in n mile or two. But in
a mile it became apparent that it was
no slough. but a small stream. And
SO the boat was turned and poled back
TO the Missouri. From this circunl-
stance the creek was called Sni-a Bar,
from the word "sni" and the name of
the Frenchman, Abar. e..

SEVERE ORDEAL FOR BRIDE
afghan "eeauty Treatment" Torture
to Which All Girls Approaching
Matrimony Must Submit.

The girl bride in Afghanistan is
subjected to a very severe beauty
treatment. Some elderly ladies mas
sage her face, wash her hair and
anoint 1t with oil and perfume. Then
comes the tarr zaddani or removal Of
the superfuous hairs of the face. The
phrase, composed of two Persian
words-tarr. meaning string, and zad-
DAM. meaning beating-is highly ex-
pressive Of the act.
A thin silken string is held close to
the skin by one Of the brides attend
ants; q. second attendant pulls the
thread out and giving it a spin with
her index finger and thumb, lets it 60.
AS It strikes the skin and springs
back. it>pulls out the hair, Ikbal Ali
Shah writes in Asia Magazine. The
position Of the string is changed and
the action is repeated. This very pain
full operation must be performed on
every bride, whether she has hairs on
her face or not. When the ordeal is
over, the tortured face is washed with
warm water, without soap, and well
powdered. u

Salt Monopoly In Ecuador.

The production and sale of salt In
Ecuador Is monopolized by the govern
ment, which enjoys a good profit there
from. Salt is obtained from the sa-
linas in the provinces of Cuayas, Ma
nabi and Ell Orc. The works consist
Of blocks of land whose surface has
been lowered few feet, into which
sea water is permitted to seep. The
water Is slowly evaporated by the
sun, precipitating crystals and thus
forming a considerable layer of salt,
which is broken into pieces for dis
tribution. 1t els estimated that the
average quantity of salt consumed by
each Individual in Ecuador is thirteen
pounds per annum.

Make Your Own
Gray Hair Remedy


Mrs A. Dixon. a well-known Brook
Ign trained nurse, made the following
statement regarding gray hair:
"Streaked, faded or gray hair can be
quickly turned black. brown or light
brown, by the use of the following
remedy that you can make at home:
Merely get a box of Orlex powder
at any drug store. 1t costs very little
and no extras to buy. Dissolve it in 2
OF. of distilled or rain water and comb
It thru the hair. Full directions for
mixing and use and a gold bond guar
antee come in each box. One box will
last you for months.
TT is safe. it does not rub off. is not
sticky or gummy, and leaves the hair
fluffy. It will make a gray-haired
person look twenty years younger
