BY the plane face we do not mean the

1t is the profile in which the line OF
the forehead and Of the mouth and chin
are perpendicular. The nose that goes
with 1t is straight, or very nearly so, and
not too large.
The person with a plane face strikes a

FRESH AIR.

From now on throughout the season
there is bound TO be that usual conflict
between those who recognize the benefit
Of good afr and proper ventilation and
those who do not. those who are in
clined to overdo it and those who I'M
derdo #.
In one community complaint is made
because the electric cars are not suffl-
GENTLY ventilated so but what when they
are filled the air quickly becomes foul.
Others in the same community are
doubtless kicking because the cars are
not properly heated so but what they
are chilly when riding. Thus it becomes
an impossible task for those who are
supposed to regulate the fresh air ami
the heat in cars to satisfy everybody.
This seems to be matter upon which
they might well be considerable atten-
tion given TO the educating of the people
to a recognition of the value of fresh
air. and at the same time to dress In a
manner that will permit them to get the
benefit without mourning harm.
It is the statement Of one health au-
thority that most places where people
congregate are overheated and that hot,
dry air has bad effect upon the nose
and throat, Irritating the mucuous mem
branes so that the cold germs find a
ready welcome.
Trying, however, to regulate the ven
tilation of a building or trolley car
that the benefit of fresh air may be OBJ
tained and the disease germs discrini-
mated against is q task that has caused
many a wrangle. It is impossible &c

OF two. men at a Deep River crossing
when the automobile in which they were
riding was struck last week by freight
train.
This was a crossing where a clear
view Of the track was not obtainable
until the crossing was neared but then
i was possible to see a train for a con-
siderable distance. 1t was not one Of
