Lowell Observatory,
 Flagstaff, Arizona,
 August 2s. 1921. Editor the Arizona Republican, Phoe nix, Arizona:
 Dear Sir-The other day. in hap pening to pick up an old issue Of your paper, that of June 30 of this year, I saw the letter of Edgar Ken nison, Tn the Trail of the Comet l was very pleased that he had taken interest enough to observe these meteors he mentioned.
 However, they unfortunately did not belong to the comet. I was my self watching for the comet meteors on the last nights of June, and saw a good many of the kind he described coming from a point in the Milky Way southeast of Vega. They were small and very swift, so that they flashed across the sight in an instant The large one he saw may have been an exceptional one in the swarm, or it may have been an interloper.
 The comet meteors. if there had been any, would have come from a point roughly north of the Big Dip per. I saw only three or four in several hours watching which came from this point, and | think it most likely that they merely came from there by accident and had nothing to do with the comet. If there had been many. the case would have been different. Nor have I heard of any comet meteors being seen by anyone else.
 The reason we got no meteors from the comet on this return was that we were quite a distance frCm the com cts orbit, and at the same time close behind the comet in time. Thus a gently tapering swarm of meteors gradually expanding outward behind the comet, would not reach us, while | if we had been nearer the orbit, or ! further behind the comet, it would | As we had never had similar eN- l perience before it was impossible tc | tell for sure what would happen, 1T | advance.
 As for the meteors Mir. Kennisor | saw, they were surely a well-defineC | swarm. but I have not at hand tht | information as to which one of tho | many known it was.
 If you can bring this letter to the ] attention of Mir. Kennison, I am sure | he would he glad.
 | Very truly yours, | Box 992. O. H. TRUMAN.

There now-you have it!

There now-you have it!
That beautiful hat with the pink
rose and the Turing bit of tulle.
OF course John had given you the
money to buy that new set of kitch-
en- things you needed and an Incl
dental or two for himself-but you,
Just this once. had laughed at neces-
sity and bought the hat! Such a
lovely hat.
You didn't need it particularly
You still had the old red sailor and
the black Milan-but this was such
a dream of a thing and it did beckon
from the window SO!
You hurried home-a lifting song
In your heart all the way.
Oh, yes. you wondered for a min
ut or two what John would say
when he came in and saw the same
old pans and couldn't find the things
he had wanted you to get for him.
but there couldn't be a big enough
shadow to dull the joy of that hat.
Inspiration
You had been extrayagant-for
the thing HAD cost something Of a
price, but you loved 1t and you
tripped around the dining room and
little kitchen getting the best kind
of a dinner.
You gave an extra touch to the
arrangement of the flowers in the
low bowl at the center of the table
and you went out into the yard
where the mint was waxy green for
the garnish for the meat which was
done just to a turn. Your salad had
just the tang to make it a food fit

"BlOnd Girl Involved"

l did not see my husband for two
days. However, he phoned to. me
frequently. but briefly.
The most important news was that
he and Morrison thought they had
a clew to the cause of the explos-
ion in the munitions plant. One
OF the bodies discovered was that of
a man with eyes of different colors.
Now Chrys had told us that she
would recognize anywhere the man
who ha6 frightened her in Certeis'
cellar. He was remarkable because
he hal n blue and one brown eve!
Investigation proved that the man
Killed In the explosion had been en-
ployed by the Lorimer Chemical
company for only a few days. Nor
rison and Bob decided that he had
planted a bomb for revenge and by
some mischance had been destroyed
IN his W death trap.
Our next news about the jewels
came by long distance to Morrison.
Two men had been seized by the
federal authorities while going
aboard ship for South America. A
bag they had fitted the description
of Bob's piece of English luggage.
All marks had been removed from
It. 1t contained only a travellers
outfit. But in the mans possession
were several postal receipts. They
proved that the gems had been
packed inside candied fruits and
chocolate bonbons and had been
mailed to a girl in Buenos Ayres.
The consignor was the taxi chauf-
feur who had picked us up near
Certeis' house, the man whom Bob
had locked in the closet of our guest

simply continued the conversation.
If had been anything of a diplo-
mat, If l had been married twenty
years instead of two l would have
stopped right there. On other occa-
sions l had omitted the kiss, apollo
gized, n been forgiven. There
would have been no real storm il |
a been willing to give up my idea
of playing cards at Sid's house that
night.
But something drove me on. 1 was
worried about affairs at the office. l
wanted to get my mind off business,
n the surest way l knew was a
good card game. After l had ex-
planned about the kiss and given her
not one but three. Dorothy looked
somewhat eacified. l ventured to
begin:
Dear. I thought of going over to
Sid's tonight. Some of the boys will
be there and"
But Edith asked US to come and
play bridge with them tonight"
Cant we go tomorrow? You see,
I've practically promised"
"Oh, of course, if you'd rather be
with your friends than with me-"
That isn't it at all, but"
well, Tom, what is it, then ?"
1t was needless to explain about
things at the office; 1 didn't want to
worry Dot. 1t would have been use
less to mention that playing bridge
with her and the Slocums wouldn't
mean any relaxation at all--simply a
couple of hours during which |

Il would have been marital suicide
to remind Dot that when we were
engaged she had declared she would
insist on me spending a night every
week out with my own friends. 1t
would nave been sheer madness to
tell why l did not want to see Edith.
AT dinner l made several unsuc-
cessful attempts to get Dot 10 talk.
After the meal she went to the phone
| heard her call Edith and explain
that we couldn't come that night.
She was tired and, anyway, / had a
business appointment.
When she came back into the liv-
ing room h brought some sewing
with her. l knew she hated sewing
and she knew l knew it. 1t was evil

IT Dot had lived during the days
when Christians were burned at the
stake. she would have insisted on
having a little hotter fire than anyone
else. 1t was the sort of thing she en-
joyed, l reflected.

l opened the door, announced:

TO KEEP CLOTHES WELL

Shoes and boots should always be
put on stretchers when not in use.
They should always be dried and
placed on a shelf or cupboard with
rails Or wooden Stats to allow a cir
culation of air.
Evening dresses or easily soiled
skirts should be hung in bags of un-
bleached calico, %cretonne or case
ment cloth.
Hats should be put away each in
it's own box.
Coats and skirts should always be
well brushed and shaken before be-
ing laid away.
A little chest of drawers, cretonne
covered perhaps. is handy for keep
ing lace, ribbons. gloves, and other
articles.

How To Keep
Yourself Well
Flat Feet

Flat Feet
How a ! cure my fiat feet?
In some forms of fiat feet, much
can be done By having the patient
wear proper fitting shoes, in in
structing him how to stand and walk
and having him to take exercise to
strengthen the muscles of the foot.
Sometimes in the beginning of the
treatment it may be necessary to
employ some form Of arch support,
but this is only a temporary expe-
dent. You should consult a quail
fed o%rthopedic surgeon.
Pin Worms
Tell me about getting rid of pin
worms. The doctor said TO take
~turpentIine. I took two teaspoons
fuls in a u of milk and it made
me sick.
Pin worms are found mostly in
the lower portion of the bowels,
where they cause intense itching
when they crawl out through the
anal opening. While they do not
menace health directly. the itching,
especially at night, is sometimes so
troublesome that it disturbs sleep
and makes the sufferer irritable and
nervous. Treatment is usually quite
simple. A purgative should be
taken to drive the parasite into the
lower bowels. and after this acts. an
injection consisting of a decoction
of qlIassia bark should be given
into the rectum. This decoction is
made by boiling one or two ounces
of the bark in a pint of water. The
underclothes should be changed
and boiled, and a distance around
the anus skin should be washed
with a solution of carbolic acid, pre-
pared by disso1ving half a teaspoon
full Of carbolic acid in a pint of warm
water.
Deafness
I have a little girl, 10 years old,
and since having her adenoids and
tonsils taken out, she has been hard
of hearing. Specialists tell me she
has catarrh of the ose and throat.
The adenoids probably chiefly
responsible for her deafness and
nasal catarrh. Though the removal
of the adenoids would relieve the
obstruction of nasal breathing, the
catarrhal condition had probably
become more or less chronic, and
hence may require considerable
time for treatment.
l should advise you to keep her
under the care Of the nose and
throat specialist you have consult
ed, and carefully follow his instruc-
items.

this to say:

This is not a fortunate day, ac-

power late at night.
1t is a time for women to take ac-
count of their own possibilities and
to put little dependence on men.
The stars frown upon all love af-
fairs, but warning is given that there
will be an added tendency to indulge
IN romance which will be unlucky.
Those who seek employment or
desire to improve positions already
occupied should postpone any action
until a more favorable aspect rules.

The late hours of the evening

Mars in Gemini will disturb the
United States in many ways, astrolo-
