RoUDolR NOVELTIES.

A novel accessory idea is that of having dainty sets of mules boudoir bandeau and garters. These are made of imported materials with the airiest possible trimmings. Marabou, metal lace and ribbon, fur and feathers are among the fabrics utilized.
 One set shows pink satin mules with a border of blue marabou around the toe and also a rosette of marabou on the bandeau, which is made of silver lace. Pink pearls are used on the bandeau, which has brows at the ends and ties with metal and colored rib bon. Fur trims another satin mule in yellow, which has a tiny tassel of gold, slightly at one side of the center.
 A black set is interesting. Gold lace aand flowers trim the slippers. The garters in every case are of lowered ribbon in suitable shades, and are finished with a tiny gold or silver bow White pearls and a row black bandeau, which is made of net embroidered in gold, and finished with gold lace.
 Another distinctive trimming is a rosette of pink ostrich with pink pearl center. This is used on a black mule which has a pink lining and the border is finished with pink pearls to the sole of the slipper.
 Ribbon with crystal bead flowers in pastel shades trims another set, blue and pink being effectively con- bined. The bandeau in this instance is in fine ecru lace and also the ribbon straight through the center of it.

NEEpLEWoRk NOES.

Cheap thread and sewing silk are dangerous economies, and it is better to use such for basting and coarse hand sewing and have the best for machine sewing: Breaking erthad or thread that knots is maddening, and silk that knots is maddening, and silk that fades and breaks after it is sewed on the goods wastes ones time and ruins the temper.
 When outlining round forms it is much easier to make the outline stitch es from left to right, as they will then conform to the rounded shape. Knots should never be used in embroidery of any kind and when beginning the out lining run a few stitches to the com mencing point and then cover these stitches with the outlining. After the work is finished run the thread back and fasten with a buttonhole stitch.
 A centrepiece that should have last ing style is worked in white mercer ized cotton on a fine grade, heavy linen. Its edge has alternate grouped scal- lops, rather shallow one, or II smaller scallops and deeper curve of seven small scallops. In the centre of each shallow curve is a tall, narrow, em- pire basket, worked in satin stitch and filled with conventionalized deeper curve is a semi-circle of eyelets, with an eyelet daisy and foliage above it while opposite each point is a six petalled forget-me-not, with three leaves worked in satin stitch. This is connected with the semi i-circle of eye 1 lets by scroll pointing toward the bas- i ket

HEALTH AND BEAUTY

If a new toothbrush is soaked over night in glass of water it will pre- vent the bristles' coming out and will last much longer.
 Glycerine is good for the hair pure glycerine rubbed into the scalp with the finger tips at night. Rub it with a circular motion that tends to curl the new hair which is coming in.
 A little washing soda in the water with which you wash your hair brushes will aid in the cleansing. Dip the brushes up and down briskly with the bristles downward. Rinse in cold water and dry in the sun.
 You must never have the nails to long or too short, too pointed or too square. Yet by varying very slightly the shape you can always improve the shape of the fingers. The nails should be rounded to slight point which should extend beyond the length of the finger when the fingers are short and about to it's dege when the fingers were long. It should be more sharp ly pointed on blunt finger, less sharp ly on a tapering finger.
 A two or three minute massage nightly is quite enough to keep the skin supple and resistant. Before be. ginning the massage cleanse your fact thoroughly with cleansing cream ol with soap and hot water. Dry anG then coat lightly with skin food. Begir manipulations on your forehead, put. ting the thumb on the temples ant the tips of the fingers so they mee at the center of the forehead Witt a circular movement move them out. ward and upward. Repeat five times 1 pressing very lightly.

RECIPES

Baked Eggs With Cheese. - Four eggs, one cupful or four ounces of grated cheese, one cupful of fine, soft, stale bread crumbs, one-quarter tea spoonful salt, a few grains of cayenne pepper. Break the eggs into a buttered baking dish or into ramekins and cook them in a hot oven until they begin to turn white around the edge. Cover with the mixture of crumbs, cheese and sea- sonings. Brown in a hot oven. In pre- pairing this dish it is essential that the oven be very hot or the egg will be too much cooked by the time the cheese is brown. To avoid this some cooks cover the eggs with white sauce be- fore adding crumbs.
 Lemon Pie.-One cup sugar, three tablespoonfuls flour, one tablespoonful melted butter, yoIks of two eggs whites of two eggs, one cup of. sweet milk, one lemon.
 Mix sugar, kour and egg yolks slightly beaten, pour on hot milk, then add butter and beaten egg whites When ready to put in crust, add juice and grated rind of lemon. Bake in one crust and cover with meringue.

FEDERAL IDENTIFICATION BU-
 REAU.

In the efforts to establish the identity of the young woman, part of whose body was found in a pond near Long Island City, report has been made to the records kept in all cities where f1n- ger prints are taken in the hopes of finding out who she was if by any chance she had at some time been ar rested. No help was gained from that endeavor but the aid which such sys- tenn can be in tracing people has so ap- pealed to Congressman Kindred of that district that he plans to introduce bill in congress for the establishment of a national bureau of identification at Washington which would act as a clear
 ing house for all the finger prints taken in the country.
 Records which are kept by cities are for the most part of those who are ar rested for some crime. But there are other places than at police headquarterq Long Island case there are other times than in the running down of criminals that the finger prints are valuable.
 The body of the young woman has not as yet been positively identified. Tn only one instance is there a possibility of the partial identification being cor rect and that appears to be offset by other features. Had the victim at any time been f1ngerprinted, and were such available through some such national bureau not only would there be a speedy disclosure as to who she was but f would undoubtedly give the authorities valuable assistance in locating those who were responsible for her death Much that goes as mystery for 1aci of Identification could be quickly c!earet Il pthrough such an agency.

CUTTING TIE EXPENSES.

Changing conditions call for constant ly changing treatment. There was the lime when there was little or no thought given to the prevention of waste in the cutting of trees and the utilization of lumber. Unfortunately there is none too much at the present time and yet it is realized that the supply of timber is such that there must be due conserva- tion and proper reforestation if there is 10 be an adequate supply quarter of century or so hence. We cannot con- tlrue to take from the woodlands at the rate Us have been doing, without mak- ing bettAr use of what is taken or pre- paring to replace if it is expected to have timber supply a generation hence.
 How this hits the railroads, although in a somewhat different manner, is indi- cated by the arrangements which have been made by the New Haven road for a kreosotfng plant for the treatment of ties Because of the blight which has killed most of the chestnut trees in this part of the country one source of rail- road ties has been killed. Other wood is being utilized but it invariably costs more and for that additional expense the railroads do not get ties that last any longer. if in fact they last as long. lThe New Haven road has therefore gone To the expense of establishing creo-

THE SALES TAX.

By the action of the United States senate 1t has been definitely assured that there will be no sales tax included t' the plan for the revision of taxation at the present time. There are those wha are opposed to 1t and there are thoss who are in favor of it and regard less of the fact that there is class as well as other opposition there are indi- cations that there is none too good an Idea prevailing generally in regard to this form of taxation. The advocates of this form of tax were by no means agreed upon the form it should take and by the various votes indicated that they were willing that 1t should be ap- piled in any one of several forms if it could only be established and have the taxation distributed throughout the country in accord to the expenditures which were made. It was an interesting view that was exI ressed over the sales tax when it was opposed for the pur- pose of providing revenue for the run ming Of the government but was desired 10 be passed over at this time that it might be made use of subsequently, for the purpose of raising money for par ticular purpose, that of providing the funds with which to pay soldiers bo- nus. Thus it waI considered a good thing for raising revenue for one pur- pose but not for meeting the general ex- penses of the country and paying its debts.
 Inasmuch as the sales tax advocates have failed to present a united front it !s not improbable that more will be heard from it at some time in the fu- ture and if t ever does come up it should be realized that the time would not be los: in addition to setting forth the good points f sufficient time was taken to deal with such objections as are raised against it. If that form of taxation has merits that exceed others it ought to be possible 10 explain them in way that will convince. IL is possible that the sales tux has been turned down not be- cause of It's undesirable features but because it's good points are not prop erly understood.

STAYING THE INJUNCTIoN.

Word comes from some of the locali- ties where the coal miners are on strike to the effect that they will be back at work within a few days. That is of cous SC gratifying but it Is unfor- tunate thaa they haven't remained at work during the time they have been On strike for their own good as we'll as the good of those who depend upon coal for fuel
 The decision to return to work comes of appeals in holding up the putting in to effect of the terms of Judge Ander- son's injunction concerning the chteck off. It may or may not be that the court Of appeals has rendered its decision in the form it did because the men wet on strike but final action will of course be based on the facts. It has so far dealt with an emergency and acted to prevent the halting of coal produc- tion.
 The regrettable thing Is that the min CTS did not put their reliance in the ap- peal to the upper court from the in junction decision before throwing down their tools and refusing to work. The higher court has not set aside the in-  junction and 1t has not indicated that 1t will unless such action is warranted but 1t has decided that the injunction | should not go into effect until there has been ascertained the full facts in the case. That means that it is acting for the good of all, which of course in- cludes the miners and 1t would have been much more to their credit had they determined to exhaust the aid of the court in. their behalf before resorting to other mea
 The injunction order was subject to an appeal and the federal judges to whom the case was presented lost no time in realizing what the situation meant to the country. It will require some time to give consideration to the features of the ei:tire case and the court takes the position that instead of per hitting the injunction to go into effect before reviewing the case 1t is preferable for all concerned that it should be held up until the case can be studied in all its l aspects. In the meantime coal produc- tion will not be crippled.

HARA's ASSASSINATION.

Whether the assassination of Premier Hara of Japan was intended to have any influence upon the conference on the linn ltation of a-maments to be opened this week at Washington, or whether it was just that the opportunity presented it. self at this time to carry out deed that had long been contemplated it was a dastardly crime that removed a leader Of much prominence and force in Ja- pan.
 Inasmuch as the premier had been threatened and a previous attempt had been made upon his life 1t would appear that conditions came right for the com mission of the act regardless of the con- ference and inasmuch as the assailant is said 70 be political fanatic it would ap- pear that he represents that element of self regulators that Is a menace to any nation
 Premier Hara proved himself a great leader and had held to policies which had not few opponents among those who were of a militaristic inclination. His death coming at this time must of necessity create not a little uncertainty In regard 10 the policy of the Japanese Fe-alrFe 10 the conference Tn View Of The attitude which has been disclosed and the seeming reluctance that was at first displayed toward participating therein.
 Being here as the representatives of the government of Premier Hara the Japanese delegates realize that they are here under instructions of one who no longer lives. It Is to be presumed, how ever. that Haras successor, whether temporary or permanent, will follow a similar policy as that which has been put forth by the Hara government, but there is no certainty of that. And even f it should 1t Is to be realized that the delegates will not be in touch with the new premier as they were with the late one. and it is 10 be presumed that much h the way of advice would be advanced 5y and sought from the premier during the course of conference.
 It would be most unfortunate situa- ton # the act of the assassin should have a detrimental effect upon the de Alterations of the conference now abou 70 be assembled.

READ YOUR CHARACTER
"Secon'd- Story Men
By Digby Phillips, Copyrighted 1g31

When you speak as of character analyst, of "second-story men," you are not referring to burglars or sneak thieves. You have in mind the man, or woman for that matter, whose forehead curves outward between the lever Of the eyebrows and the point at which the scalp normally begins, for this is known as the second story" or floor" of the forehead.
 In the brain, back of the first floor are located the perceptive faculties. But above them are what are known a the retentive faculties. It is here that the brain has it's library" so to speak.
 And according to the exact shape and location Of the bone development you may read the exact type of knowledge that is stored up there. But in gen. eral, remember that the development of this second story" means stored knowledge.
 People who have this type of fore head may be described as scholarly They not only possess more than the average development of memory for sound, tone, color, size, dimensions, facts, faces and incidents but also in most cases the ability of expression the power to make this knowledge available for their own use and the use of oth- CTS, whether it be through the medium of speech, writing or the various arts. They make good teachers, and through not necessarily good investigators themselves, they are generally expert in the analyst of facts and information gathered by others.
 Their mental processes are charac- terized by sureness rather than speed

ture. Sandals hre much vOrn for dress wear, especially black patent leather ones, with blond hosiery.
 Dresses cut en princess. with fringe hanging from the waist across the back only, are often seen. One such model. made of dull cloth of gold, had the fringe made of gold spangles.
 Broadcloth crepe or cachemire crepe is introduced as an attractive variation for the black frock. Novelty velvets in stripe and plaid effects as well as variety of designs are still favored.
 A fuchsia chiffon velvet model, for instance, with collar of variously blended fuchsia colored silk and vel , vet flowers has shirred, wide sleeves of metallic brocade~ deeply banded in velvet and the matching lining is trim med with gold lace, to go with gold lace and fuchsia velvet gown. Another evening wrap is black satin deeply banded with jet pailettes and lined with rose chiffon velvet, to be
 worn over a jet paillette robe with corsage of roses to match the flower collar of wrap.
 A youthful box model in navy perl l laine with it's frock having the long. | indefinite waistline, is favorite Emareald green touches are found in l the silk embroidery and cloth strir
 down the side of the skirt of this
 model, which has a high self collar 1 fastening like a single wing to one side.

came very apparent that the output of the mint was not sufficient for the needs of the country, and foreign CO., ins were necessarily continued as leg al tender, despite legislation to the contrary.
 In 1793 the salaries of the mint em- ployees were as follows: David Rit- tenhouse, director, s2,000 per annum; Tristan Dalton treasurer, S1,20O; Hem ry Voight, coiner, $1,oeO; Isaac Hugh clerk, $312.
 The operations of the mint were sus- pended at different times because of yellow fever epidemics and this in connection with the scarcity of materi- al and fire at the mint and the use of coins for purely commercial pur- poses by coppersmiths, silversmiths, and other tradesmen accounts for the scarcity of certain coins made at "ye olde mint" under great disadvantage.
 After the old buildings on 7th street had outgrown their usefulness the Philadelphia mint was moved to Chest nut and Juniper streets, and less than a score of years ago to palatial quar- ters at 17th and Spring Garden streets.

GUESTS.

It Is nice idea to have a guest chest in the guest room. It should contain a nightgown, bathrobe, slippers and even new toothbrush.
 You will add to the comfort of your weekend guest by informing her in part at least of what the program for visitors is to be so that she can pack things really needed and leave unnecessary things at home.
 You will consult your guests taste and then order for yourself and your guest when dining at a hotel or res- taurant.
 When visiting for several days at the home of a friend you will fold your napkin and put it beside your plate at the conclusion of the meal This is not done at a hotel or restaur ant or if you are dining but once at the home of your friend.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The GreeneviIIe FIre ComnanIe..

Mir. Editor: The taxpayers seem to ba on the right track in regard to the pro- lection of property and life from the dread monster. fire, and the time Is op- perfume for the fire commissioners to close out the two so-called fire companies in Greeneville, which are costing you from two to three thousand dollars year to maintain in a municipal buiid- ing that cost you twenty thousand dol lars to build twenty or more years ago and which will not respond to a fire call in one of the taxpayers houses right un- der their noses.
 Time is ripe to close out the hang-out for a lot of so-called fremen that will not respond to a fire call and stand ready and do oppose anything for the improvement of tho fire department that they think will deprive them of a club room to hold their annual Washington birthday celebration in at the expense of you taxpayers without in any way per- forming any fire duty. Let us hope the authorities will have sand enough to close it up in the interests of the tax payers that have to pay the bills and get no returns.
