Somerville, Mass, July 25.- Edwin

tically cured now
Late yesterday Edwin finished his
experiments in the making of gun
powder, from charcoal, saltpetre and
other ingredients. He manufactured
q cannon to go with the gunpowder BY
plugging the end Of two inch section
Of an iron pipe about three feet long,
boring a hole for fuse and fastening
the affair on box. He then poured in
his high explosive and touched it off.
Edwin ducked hurriedly, and thus
allowed the section Of pipe TO sail
through the air, tear out the whole of
one of the front windows in his house.

front room, and bury itself in the wall.
When questioned, Edwin expressed

To Danish Hairs
lBeauty Notes.l

Ugly hairy growths can be removed
in the privacy of your own home il
you get small original package Of
delatone and mix into a paste enough
OF the powder and water TO cover the
hairy surface. This should be left on
the skin about two minutes, then re-
moved and the skin washed and every
trace of hair will have vanished. No
harm OF inconvenience can result from
this treatment. bit be sure YOU buy

BARBLEss FISH HOOKS.
Writer Advances Some Reasons for
Their General Use.

All those who know trout are agree,
that to break the protective covering
of slime upon their bodies is to invit'
fatal fungous disease. They arr
equally agreed that any damage to tbs
gills results in most cases in death
This is the reason why the barbles'
hook is fish preser,atiye of the first
order.
In the hands Of even moderately
skillful fly fisher the barbless hook is
almost as efficient an instrument as its
barbed rival If the line is kept prop
erly taut, the number of FISH lost lpsr-
ticularly in lake fishingl which would
not have been lost from a barbed fly is
negligible. Wherein. then, we may be
asked lies the advantage OF the barb
less variety
II is 10 be found in this-the barb
less hook permits the careful angler to
release practically any FISH which he
does not desire to keep without touch
ing il with his hands Small fish which
might be seriously injured by a harbed
No. 40 or even a No. u can he re-
leased without the slightest harm from
barbless hook of the same size.
There are still many Waters in the
great land of ours which are so amply
stocked that there Is no real excuse for
fishing them with a barbed hook. The
sooner the barbless hook comes into
universal use the sooner VIC can cease
worrying lest the recreation Of trout
fishing be lost for our children.
II your tackle dealer j. not progress

stock. small file viii modernize and

Why Socony is
the most popular gasoline

WHAT the great majority Of motorists want in
w gasoline is allround dependabiIty. And
that is what Socony has given for ten years and
what it offers today. That is why so many thousands
Of motorists use Socony and nothing else and why
SO many who decided to change gasoline for
while eventually came back to it.
All gasolnes are not alike The rehner knows this.
So does the petroleum chemist and the expert auto
mobile mechanic. And here is the secret of Socony
dependabilty the reason why Socony is always easy
starting, always high powered and always econom-
ical wherever you buy it: it always has the correct
range of boiling points and in the right proportion.
(See diagram and Note.)
You can be sure Of getting the most that any gaso-
line can give you by using Socony all the time.
There must be some good reason why the majority
Of motorists in New England and New York State
prefer it.
