HEALTH AND BEAUTY

Soda is effective in curing the stings of mosquitoes, bees and wasps.
 If the burn is so deep that the skin is peeled off. dredge dry soda directly upon it.
 In combing children's hair, if moth CTS would begin at the ends and work toward the head they would find 1t much better, as it neither hurts nor breaks the child's hair.
 Have you ever tried matching your hair and veil The effect is thorough ly charming. If your hair is coppery, select a russet veil, if it is black with those deep violet lights let your veil be black or violet, preferably black and i if, perchance, it is medium brown and your eyes gray, buy a gray veil. A good plan is to drink one glass of water, quite hot, as soon as you get up This stimulates the diges tion and makes it ready for the break I fast. The rest of the water may be cool, but never iced. The last thing at night another cup of hot water should be taken, to draw the blood 1 from the head, to induce a quiet and | refreshing sleep. As for how much
 to drink between times, that depends upon yourself. Six to eight glasses altogether is the usual rule. But you
 may need more or you may not need l quite so many.

When Gainsboroueh sold the other day for 10000 guineas few people re- called the fact Nhat the sale falsiied a very confident parental prophecy.
 The Gainsboroushs were a clever fam fly One brother was nicllnamed Schem- ing Jack. He made himself a \4ir of wings though he failed to fly. He suc- ceeded, however. in making a cradle which rocked itself and cuckoo which "cuckooed' all the year round and never migrated.
 The far more famous Thomas. the great painter. at an early age startled his father by forging his signature to a message addressed to the local school master. which ran as follows: Kindly give Tom 9 holiday" The signature was wonderfully done. and it's accuracy and cleverness provoked the parental prophecy.

 Tennyson was the subtect of two prophecies. one by his grandfather and the other by his father. The first was wrong and the second right. Alfred wrote a poem at the early age of nine on his slate and showed 1t to his grand father. who gave him guinea. with tht words:

AUTO DRIVERS.

While it may not have been demon strated that those between the ages of IS and IS in Connecticut are any more reckless or careless than they are in. other states, nevertheless there are rea~ sons for believing that it is wise move that has been made by the upper branch of the state legislature in striking out the provision in the auto bill which would make it possible for those aged Is to secure drivers license and mak ing 1t necessary for holder of a license to be at least IS.
 The great number of automobile acci- dents and the many fatalities make it evident that greater safety is needed in the highways There is nothing convinc- ing in the appeal that those who are IS will be just as considerate as those IS or that highway safety would be maintained at as high point by permit ting younger drivers
 The enthusiasm of the younger driv- CTS can be thoroughly appreciated and with it would go that disposition to take chances which is irrepressible. There is | too much of that already among those who are beyond the age limit fixed and | it is of the utmost importance that noth- | ing should be done in the way of legis- 1 lation that would add to the dangers of the highway.
 What is needed is greater instead of less protection. Certainly if age serves in any way to increase it it can be ex- pected that those of IS will be better prepared to shoulder their responsibilities
 in the use of highways and respecting the rights of others thereon than those of 16. That at least seems to be the way the legislators look at the situation and there are reasons for believing that the sentiment of the state will accord ,herewith. The responsibilities that go
 with the driving of automobiles cannot
 be too, lightly regarded.

FIRST PHoNoeRAPH pIso

The first photograph disc is still in existance, in the Smithsonian Institute at Washington It was made in 1887 by Emil Berliner, and the first song sung on a photographic disc was The Sweetest Story Ever Told
 The original disc that Berliner ex- perimented with is of glass. A coat of soot was rubbed over the surface. The revolution Of the machine caused the needle to scratch the sound into the glass and thus make lines. Thus the voice of a person singing into the horn was recorded. From it a zinc disc Wal then made, and a copper matriX was the next step. From. the matrix all re- cords we're cast. Thirty-four years ago all finished records were of rubber. To day the finished record is made of va rious chemical compositions, with a good proportion of rubber.
 There were five steps in casting the first discs, whereas today only three steps are necessary. First, there is the wax disc. which records the voice. Then the matrix is cast, and finally the complete record.-Detroit News.

 Appeal after appeal has been made In behalf of the Armenians because of the conditions to which they have been brought by the metciless Turks. And every time cry from that region rolls round the world those who are inclined to listen to suffering humanity respond IS generously as they can and at the same time wonder why something isn't done to put an end to such wretched con- ditions and to punish those who are re- sponsible for them.
 It is not that there isn't a willingness to help those who have gone through such experiences but the situation seems | to demand not only relief but deliver Ance from those conditions which neces- sitAte the relief. Armenia needs not only pity and relief but it stands in sore | need of that protection that will cause i those who are bent upon exterminating
 those people to leave them severely
 alone and thereby give them the chance
 to get back upon their feet. Each time
 the cry comes from far off Armenia it
 should send home the necessity of action
 that will give that country the safe l guards it Is entitled to.
