Last WhistIir1g
Swans Mating
Denver Park

Denver, Aug. 24.-What are be-
lieved to be the only two North
American whistling swans in ex-
istence are today cavorting about
a small pond in Denver City park.
The birds are valued at $4,000
each. The male bird is owned by
II. O. Jackson Of this city, while
the mate is the property of Judge
II. M. Barnes. of Laton, Ill.
The pair will be used for breed
ing purposes, in an effort to pre-
vent the determination of this
rare specimen of the web footed
bird.
Bird rs Years Old
The male bird is seventy five
years old and his mate but fif-
teen. They have black bills and
a touch Of orange under their
eyes; otherwise the pair is pure
white.
Seventy five years Is far from
being an advanced age for a
swan" Jackson declared. "They
live ordinarily to the age of one
hundred and fifty years.
80 far as / know these are the
only two whistling swans In ex-
istence, the last of their line.
That's why l am eager that they
mate and raise their young. II
they do not 1t means the extermi-

Ill.,, sent the female bird to me,
and for time kept the pair on

proved too small for breeding
purposes, and 1t is crowded, also,
With swans of other species. So

young can be raised.

 SLIGHT INJURY

Sousa's band will be heard In Bridgeport despite a slight injury sus- tained by the leader of the organ1za- ton yesterday near Philadelphia.
 A report appeared in the New York Times of this morning to the effect that John Philip Sousa, the famous bandmaster, had been thrown from his horse while out riding and had been rather seriously injured. One report was that MT. Sousa was under the care of a physician and a nurse
 M. Steinert & Sons, Doca1 manager for the big concert to be given here by Sousa's band on the twelfth of this month stated this morning that they had received complete reports of the accident and that Sousa was only very slightly injured. Although he may not be able to conduct his band for a day or two, it was positively stated that he would be able to appear at his scheduled concert here next week
 The mishap occurred at Noble, Pa, near adelphia- Mrs, Sousa made a statement corroborating the report received here, namely that her huS- band had fallen from his horse and had received bruises, but that the ac- cident was not of a serious nature.
 MT. Sousa has been giving a series of concerts for the past weeks at Willow Park, Pa., which will prob ably be suspended for the next few days

HEALTHY HAIR


 Have yuo acquired the habit of watching other people in street cars or on the trains or while you are walking along the street? I find my self watching them most critically but that, of course. Is because help ing to correct small personal flaws is my business. And one thing that I have noticed frequently lately is the extraordinary number of split ends of hair on the heads of the girls I see. I think this may be be- cause we are nearing the end of a hot summer when the hair has been sunburned and allowed to go wild Summer is a healthy time for the hair, but somehow we all neglect ourselves a little bit during the hot weather.
 If the ends of the hair are split or cracked they should be either singed or clipped about once every six that this should be done at the new moon, or the full moon. I have for gotten which. But this superstition probably only meant that the hair amount of regularity.
 If you are going to do it yourself clip the ends of the hair with a sharp pair of scissors. Braid the hair into a great many thin tight braids- Run your hands backward over these so as to bring out all the short ends, then clip them off and clip a few inches from the bottom of the hair. It is
  ends by running a match or a lighted taper along the hair, but this had bet ter be done for you by someone else otherwise you might set fire to tho whole braid.
 If the hair has a tendency to split, massage the scalp frequently with oil.
 Reader:-Yeast neither increases or decreases weight. It provides vita mines and aids digestion. M. T. G.:-Your mixture of oils will do very well to use on the face and much better than a poor cream. Yes, Egyptian Henna can be used to darken hair that is turning grey. Bob:-Feet that perspire like yours require professional care. Consult first class chiropodist or your doctor.
 M. M.:-A mixture of Peroxide and Ammonia will do this more quickly, but Peroxide alone will do it taking more time.
 F. H. A.:-There is no quick method to reduce unless you sacrifice your health. If you will persevere and are willing to try it, send stamped ad- dressed envelope for directions on the selection and quantity of food 50 pounds overweight, should be will ing to do this, in order to enjoy all the years that are ahead of her. It will likely take year before you will notice the difference.
