HAIR OF NAPOLEON
 IS FOUND IN WATCH
Relic Unknown Nearly a Century Is Uncovered By Accident at Jewellers.

Florence, Italy, Aug. 24-A new Napoleon souvenir has just come to light at Viareggio, now a fashionable seaside resort not far from this city. and it's history is interesting A short time after her brothers death at Pauline, favorite sister to Napoleon T.. sent a souvenir of the great war rior and Emperor to one of her int- mate friends, Prof. Pacini,a musician, who wrote the musical work, Sapho.
 But she sent it in a gold watch, care fully pressed between the watch'S outer and inner covers As the hair was so well hidden from view, the Princess wrote to the musician telling him of the treasure that was inside.
 The letter, still preserved by his granddaughter, Francesca Franch1, born Pacini, is a long one, and for some reason or other the family, like the original recipient of the gift, never bothered about the words, "The lock of my dear brothers hair is between the two covers of the watch" and only treasured the watch and the let ter because both came from Princess Pauline So great was Signora Fran chi's surprise when on taking the watch to the watchInaker she dis between the two covers The letter from Pauline was carefully reread, and the words telling of the lock of hair now become the most important part of it, giving proof that the hair is a hitherto undiscovered relief Of Napoleon.

FACES DEVELOP NEW
 TYPE, SAYS SURGEON
Experts Differ As To Whether, This If True, Means Englishmen Are Handsomer or Uglier.

London, Aug 24-Since Prof Arthur Keith of the Royal College of men are changing a, heated contro- versy has arisen as to whether the change is for better or worse.
 Sir William Orpen, the famous DOT trait painter, says Englishmen are growing handsomer every day. "A frmer type a stronger jaw is deyelop- ing" he declared. Men are approx intinating more to what is known as the strong silent type
 I believe you can make yourself like anything you wish within limits One of thee limits is that you become like the people you live with, either in actual life or in the life of the mind. That is why the Englishman is be- coming like his strong silent ideal.
 'I have also found that husbands grow like their wives and wives grow like their husband very frequently
 On the other hand, Prof Patrick Geddes of University College, Dundee. the zoo1ogical authority, says emphat- fca1ly that men are not growing bet ter looking Presumably he thinks they are becoming uglier.
 Prof. Keith whose annual report to the museum of the Royal College of Surgeons started the controversy, is not saying whether the male face is on the upgrade or down. All he ad- accumulated he is convinced that defi- nite changes, particularly in the face and jaws, have been taking place in a large proportion of the British peo- pie durng the last century or two. .
 In an effort to decide the issue sew eraI experts in the geography and topography of the human map have made exhaustive tours of the National Portrait Gallery, which contains some thousand paintings Of English hissori- cal perscnages for the last, 400 years But the investigation failed to con- vince the experts that there had been my change great enough to improve 1T spoil English male beauty.

MAJESTIC TO ENTER
 SERVICE BY SPRING
56, ,OOO-Ton Liner, Worlds Largest Ship. Has Fine Vistas From Smoking Room.

New York, Aug. 24-OmGa1 an nouncement was made yesterday by the International Mercantile Marine Corporation that the White Star Lime would place in commission by next spring the worlds largest passenger steamer, the Majestic, built in Ger many as the Bismarck and auocated to the White Ctar Line by the peace treaty.
 The statistical account of the di- mensions of the Majestic repeats the superlatfves already used in descrrp- tions of the Leviathan, Berengaria- Olympic and other liners that have in turn held the honor of being the worlds biggest or finest ship
 The Majestic will be 956 feet long, and able to carry without undue crowding 5,2oo persons, of whom A.. 100 will be passengers and LIDO be thirty-six feet longer than the Le- viathan and her 5000 tons will ex- ceed that ship by almost 1000 tons, while she will be 11,o00 tons larger than the Olympic
 Stood on end and placed alongside, the Majestic would tower 164 feet a bove the woodwork Building Two New York subway trains could pass side by side through any one of her tunnels. The main dining room has an area of more than a quarter of an acre and over part of it the celI- ing is thirtty-one feet high.
 The rudder weighs 40 tons and is hung on a single pin weighing two tons The bow anchors weigh f1f- teen tons each and one cable of the anchor weighs 23o tons.
 Perhaps the most striking single feature of the ship, from the passen- gers standpoint, is that the smoking room has been placed forward with plate glass windows that afford a splendid view ahead and to the sides. In other ships the smoking room is p1aced further aft.

The ship became grounded and the sailors went ashore to cook meal Finding no stones large enough to hold up their cooking pot they used blocks of hitter. When the flames had gone out it was dis covered that the hitter had melted, mixed with the sand of the shore and produced strange which was the beginning of glass.

small economies as unimportant
"War by its unwholesome stimula-
ton undelmines everything" says
Mr.. Ford, and he points out how
bankers, manufacturers, and work
ers have all been affected by this
spirit of waste and loose operation.
The task of the present times is
the picking up of loose ends, and
the getting back to patient and
careful methods. The people who
look carelessly at little waste, get
in the habit of looking with indiff-
erence on big one. 1t is a time
also for. intensive study Of every
form of production to see how the
most can be effected with the
least cost.
II every business man and every
worker in St. Johnsbury will do in
his own affairs what Henry Ford
did in his factories, our community
will have some snare in the same
prosperity that has come to Mr..
Ford in his big business.

is said he imagined that every man
who came to the mouse was in
love with Mrs. Kennev and for
that reason he distl1leted every
body.
According to his own dying adj
mission Kenney had been planning
for several days to commit the
crime, but final decision to carry
out his plan is believed to have
been reached late Sunday after
noon after the departure from
the house Of Irving Kimball, u
farm hand, who had been to the
Johnson home that day to have
his hair trimmed by Mr.. Johnson,
who is said. TO be barber of
ability. Mrs. Kenney talked and
ioked with Kimboll while he was
at the johnson home and her
friendliness is believed to have
melted the jealousy, already fired
in Jason Kenney's healt.
Mrs. Kennev retired early Sun
day evening, taking her young
daughter, Ruth, to bed with her.
Mrs. Johnson went to he'd shortly
afterward. For a half hour or so
Mrs. Johnson and kennev were in
the kitchen alone. In talking
with a Caledonian- Record report

that kennev acted very queer all
evening. She said he paced back

Henry Ford Shows Them How

Business men everywhere have
taken interest in the recently pub
lished story of how Henry Ford
avoided the difficulties of the re-
cent period and brought his busi-
ness out to a wonderful height Of
prosperity.
1t will seem marvellous to many
people, that although the Ford Mo-
tor Company was splendid organ
lied previously, yet ,the manage
ment was able through the recent
period of business pressure, to
make many economies and estab-
lish their operations on still more
efficient basis. It goes to show that
almost any concern can improve its
methods if it makes a serious effort
to do So Mr.. Ford's policy Of liber-
al treatment of labor has also prov
ed an asset. 1t has helped induce
his employees to cooperate with
his plans, and make a great effort
for the most efficient cooperation.
Mr. Ford correctly points out
that the war period got people into
the way Of spending money loosely.
They got in the habit Of looking at

last separation, Mrs. Johnson
stated, she and Jason Kenney had
exchanged love notes back and
forth up to the time Kennev came
to the Johnson farm on July ID to
help in the chores. It was at Mrs.
Kenney's instance, it is said, that
Kenney was hired by Mr. Johnson.
Mrs. Johnson is a. sister Of
the dead man and of Mrs. Ken
ney's husband. The intimacy
between Mrs. Kenney and her
brother-in-law had been notice
able for some time, Mrs. Johnson
declared.
Mrs. Kenney was the only
daughter of Villas E. johnson She
was born in Lancaster and OBJ

that town. She later attended the

mended for its vigorous investiga-
ton of a fire conspiracy in Gale
DOMAIN county, that investigation
having resulted in the conviction of
two men and sentence to state pris
on for lengthy terms for setting
fire to buildings or conspiring to
have the buildings set on fire. In
pronouncing sentence, Judge Will

doubt of guilt, which must have
meant that the prosecution brought

sentence of the two was for a term

A FEW ALDERMEN TRY
TO TURN SELFISH TRICK
state Highway Engineers Don't Run
Road TO Suit SeEden
Streeters

Elizabeth City tax payers may 1ooE
for the Introduction of a bill in the
present extra session Of the Genera
Assembly authorizing the Board of AL
dernlen to extend the city limits on Sci
den st. to as far as Ehringhaus st
with permission to pave Selden st. al
the city's expense. And all because OF
the following innocent looking item ap-
pearing in the minutes of the Board ol
Aldermen under date of Thursday. Nov
%. Read:
1T is moved and carried that this
Board write proper authorities asking
them that" they use the Rum Road Sur.
vey for the State Highway entering
this city from Hertford and that this
Board hereby agrees TO hard surface
either Ehringhaus or Selden ST. to the
city limits
The above resolution by the Board of
Aldermen was passed out of regular
session without public knowledge and
the records do not show who voted for
it. This newspaper is advised that only
a few members were present at the
meeting. Among these were w. H.
Jennette who would be benefited by
the Hertford Road coming thru Ehring-
haus or Selden street; Roscoe Fore
man, brother-in-law of Mr.. Jennette.
and C. W. Stevens, another property
owner who might be benefited by the
State Highway entering the city via
Selden st. In the background appears
Representative G. A Cooke, another
Selden st. property owner.
The resolution passed by a few mem
bers of the Board of Aldermen in Sc
cret session is most unfortunate, in
view of the trouble the State Highway
Commission has encountered in dealing
with road problems in this county. The
State Highway Commission has one of
the best engineering corps in America
in its employ and the matter of select
ing a route for the State Highway from
Hertford thru this city was left to these
engineers. The engineers have surveyed
every route and determined upon a
route which leaves Rum Road at Carl
Commanders farm and enters the city
via Church St., making a more direct
entry into the city at saving of mil
cage, than would be the case if any of
the present routes were approved. In
the interest of economy and mileage the
engineers have selected the shortest
way into \the city from the main high
way, proposing to cut a new road for
this purpose. But selfish interests can
not be stilled and the State Highway
Commission is made to believe that
Elizabeth City thru it's Board of Alder
men opposed to anything but a road

doesn't believe the city as whole cares

THREE-FOURTHS OF THE
MONEY STAYS AT HOME
Red Cross Christmas Seals Provide
Funds For Local Relief
Work

Elizabeth City is asked to buy $500
worth of Red Cross Christmas seals
between now and Christmas us IS con-
tribution to the work of tubercular re-
lief in North Carolina. It is modest
request the State Sanatorium makes of
this city, inasmuch as Elizabeth City
sends more free patients to Sanator-
ium, than any other town of like size
in the state.
But only small part of this money
goes to the, Sanatorium. Three -fourths
of all the money received from the sale
of these stamps is kept in Elizabeth
City for the relief of local cases and
as a fund to help defray the expenses
of poor people to the Sanatorium.
Mrs. w. o. Saunders is in charge OF
the sale of Red Cross Xmas seals. She
desires the help of number of active
women and girls in helping to get these
seals before the public. She believes
that every seal allotted this city could
be sold in an afternoon if all the bridge
and whist club members in the city
would give up one afternoons games
and give just that much time to the
sale of seals.
