Irene when they were skimming over

hope"
Don't be too hopeful, she hasn't a

The warning was well founded, for,
although Jane assumed a naughty at

by FRANKS attentions 10 her sister,
she never made any advances. Under
the circumstances. If Jane still cared
that he was welcome once more as
suitor would not have been out of

Jane was now seen = equently with
man considerably older than herself
and the posSessor OF a comfortable
amount Of worldly wealth. Frank was
doing well himself as head of a hard
ware firm, but he could not consider
himself on the highway TO riches.
For two months the plotters kept
up their pretense, and there were no
signs of success I'm sight. Jane, in
fact seemed infatuated with her new
knight.

Frank one night as they sat on the

HOW TO DRESS FOR THE PHO
GRAPHER

1t is a good rule to follow never to
wear a new dress to the photo
grapher's. Not only do you show
awkwardness that comes from wear
ing something with which you are
not entirely familiar, but it is a
we'll known fact that new clothes are
sitter and hang in less graceful
folds than do clothes that have been
worn. The old frock has taken on the
curves and lines of your body. 1t
seems to have absorbed something of
your personality.
And, of course, the old frock, if it
is becoming, may be worn for pho
tograph when you might not select it
for a party. If it is a little faded
or even shows signs of wear, this
will not show in the photograph.
You may have noticed that certain
pictures taken some time ago are al
most grotesque now, while others of
the same date are still satisfactory
portraits. If you stop to observe you
will see that the pictures that are
still pleasing show no freaks or eX-
tremes of fashion. Collars and col
lar lines seem to be the details that
most quickly look out of date; hence
the wisdom in always having your
picture taken with low neck line if
possible.
Hats, too, date a picture. The pic
ture you had taken without hat
you will like to display for longer
time than the picture that shows its
date by the hat you wore.
Jewelry does not add to the effect
of a picture and often detracts much.

Bank Keeps Gold Under Water.


No other bank in the world Is pro-
tected as the Bank Of England, writes
william S. Walsh, who collects odd
bits of information This unique pro-
lection is due to an artesian well In
the bank. This well supplies the bank
with its water independently OF the
rest Of the city; 1t Is 400 feet deep
and supplies 1000 cubic feet Of water
an hour.
The bullion department, which holds
.the ingots of precious metal Is nightly
submerged in several feet Of water by
the action of special machinery. Any
one attempting to rob the bank, then,
must be an expert swimmer and diver.
In the morning the water Is pumped
away and the ingots are readily ac-
cessible again.
However. the water still protects the
other departments of the bank. Its
supply Is almost unlimited, the bank
knows, and its protection Is practi-
cally absolute when 1t Is used. The
bank has very delicate machinery ar
ranged so that even the lifting OF one
coin from a pile will release a catch
which in turn releases supply OF
water.

SALT

Although salt is one of the most
common minerals it is the one used
most in our daily life. The annual
production in the United States is
somewhat more than 100000 tons,
and in foreign countries it is more
than 100000 a year. Our greatest
salt mines are in Central Kansas, and
from there a vein 400 feet in depth
extends to New Mexico. Unlike coal,
we do not hear of any salt miners be-
ing on a strike. Some salt is OBJ
tanned by evaporating salt water,
found in different sections.

THE CLEANUP SQUAD

Mr.. Louis M. Kines, publicity man
ager of the Cleanup Squad, United
States Veterans Bureau, the coming
of which has been previously an
nounced in these columns, arrived in
Frederick City yesterday and immedi-
ately started an intense publicity
campaign. From the methods en-
ployed it seems reasonable to suppose
that after this squad has finished its
work there should not be left in Fred
erick County a case of one disabled
soldier, the claims of whom has not
been properly presented to the Bureau
at Washington.
Every family throughout the rural
districts will receive an individual no
tice, the entire county, including all
towns will be placarded; every minis
ter has been asked to announce at all
services this coming Sunday the visit
and purpose of the Squad. Every
Red Cross worker and every Ameri-
can Legion man is working hand and
glove with the Bureau to bring about
the result that Col Forbes, Director
of the Bureau is so anxious to obtain.
Mr.. Kines has secured the permis-
sin of the proprietors of the moving
picture parlors and the Opera House
to have on the night of the arrival of
the Squad, Give Minute" speeches by
members of the Squad who are eX-
perts in the several branches of the
work. Two moving picture parlors
are also throwing slides upon the
screen.
Col. Forbes, Director of the Bureau
since his advent into Office has been
on the job with the full purpose that
every disabled mans case shall re-
ceive prompt and proper attention and
he being an eX-service man himself
knows the needs and wants of the dis
abled men and has declared publicly
that he intends to cut loose all red
tape entangling the speedy adjudica-
ton of these cases. In this work he
has second in command Capt. AL
bert E. Haan, also an ex-service man,
who is wide awake to the situation
and is giving his entire and personal
attention to the Four Cleanup
Squads in this district.
One particular object the Squad has
in view is the reinstatement of
, lapsed insurance of disabled men.
These men either through mis-ap-
prehension or bad advice have al
lowed their insurance to lapse or be
cancelled and it would be well for
any disabled man in this position to
consult the insurance expert of the
Squad, and be told how easy it is to
put again in force his War Risk In
surance, the advantages of the same
and the duty he owes himself and his
dependents in bringing this insurance
to life again.
1t ight not be known generally to
the public that the U. S. Veterans
Bureau is unique in itself, so far
as it does not come under the sup
ervision of any Cabinet Officers but
functions directly under the personal
attention of the President of the
United States. The President is
closely watching the progress of the
several Squads throughout the coun-
try and sincerely trusts that they will
accomplish their work so that at the
termination of the same all cases of
the disabled soldiers will be safely
filed and speedily adjudicated under
the roof of the Arlington Building,
