able performance. Not only that,
but Kent's time In the first lap was
the best time made by amy driver
at any time during the race.
William Trude fuini5hed the sec

after a sensational dash Through the
crowd that lined the street, the last
dog I'm his team went down to be
run over by the sled which was pull
led enthusiastically onward by the
other five dogs i'm the team.
Fine examples of grit and endur-

Gibson, the 20-year-old girl conten-

course and finished I'm a state of ex-
haustion, and by 14-yem-old 0lcott
Earn. The former was placed un-

upon her arrival from the race
course. Too wearied TO even care fer
her dogs, Miss Hutchison was lifted
from her sled by friends and car
ried away. Her first lap was made
20 minutes behind Kent, but being
unable to run Through the deep snow
and thereby rest her dogs as the men
contenders could do, Miss Hutchison
rode every inch OF the rs miles, a
performance regarded as no mean
achievement. Her time was a lit

Young Earn also gave a demon

when he also drove racing team

was given a roaring ovation each

To Promote Good Reading.

Kenyon college. Gambler, Ohio, has entered
upon an undertaking for the encouragement Of
the reading of really good literature that is
novel as we'll as along the line of public serv-
ice. 1t offers a substantial prize to students
of any college for the best essay on Gorge"

Charles Kelsey Gaines of Canton, N. " Cor
go" is story that approaches such works as
Ben Hur' and Quo Vadis" in romantic meri.
and. besides, depicts the social, political and
martial conditions of the great Greek populace,
making the book study as we'll as story.
Many condemn what they consider preversion
of modern literary tastes, evidenced in the
strong popular demand for what may be called,
in brief, sex stun. At any rate lovers of good
books will endorse the effort of Kenyon col
lese to promote the reading Of good literature.

line our colleges can get busy with back-fire.

Waits in the Jungles.

In Malay jungles Explorer Carveth Wells
found native who had trained monkey to
climb trees and pick cocoanuts Are we not
overlooking a great bet in the labor possibil-
ties of the monkey tribe? OF all animals that
have been domesticated to do mans work the
monkey has>the greatest possibilities in
strength and intelligence. The horse, for ms
lance. is a weakling alongside the gorilla. As
for intelligence the monkeys possibilities will
be recognized by any one who remembers Con-
sui. the famous chmpanzee in vaudeville "A
good foreman could keep a crew of monkeys
working quite efficiently at such tasks az piling
cordwood, moving pig iron or unloading coal.
It's all a matter of training. The monkey, with
his super-instinct Of imitation, is notorious for
mimicking anything he sees man do. Natur-
ally the suggestion seems trifle ridiculous
But the monkey as a worker seems no more
impossible than the wild horse must have
seemed to primitive man when he began tanning
it to become a beast of burden. The probability
also exists that monkeys intelligence could be
highly increased by artificially stimulating
their endocrne glands. An idiotic cretin, by
judiciousy administered thyroid extract can
be converted into being of normal intelli-
gence. Why isn't it possible to do the same
with monkeys? Training them to tasks would
be slow. So, for that matter, is training even
naturally intelligent dogs to do tricks. Or a
human. Wild and bizarre as the suggestion
may seem. it is entirely possible that glandular
research in the next decade will open the way
to TRIPPING or quadrupling monkey intelligence.
BY breeding and training few million apes
or gorillas man might shift from his shoulders
part Of his heavy labor burden. One of these
days, at any rate. the gland doctors-instead Of
concentrating on trying to rejuvenate broken
old men-are going to see what they can do
toward humanizins the monkey. The result
may be startling.

The best advice for the average
young woman who discovers hairs
on her skin Is that she leave them
alone. A woman's skin 10 covered
everywhere with fine hairs, except
only the palms and soles, and It u
unwise to attempt to remove these
practically unnoficeable hairs which
j are discovered only by the closest
inspection. It 10 true that the tenn
porary removal Of hairs by any Of
the various depilatory remedies-
all of which are Of course but tenn
porary solvents, and none Of which
will permanently destroy hair-or
! by the razor, which IL as efacient
and rather less irritating than
chemical depilatories, tends to
make the hairs heavier and more
noticeable when they grow out
again. ~
/ A common error is the belief that
the use Of this or that cosmetic or
cold cream causes hair to grow on
the skin. Nothing except the depil-
atories will do that.
! For the removal Of hair from the
armpits a small safety razor is
preferable to any other means, a.
though 1t is not advisable to re-
move the natural hair growing in
the armpits. 1t serves a useful
purpose there in carrying the per-
spiration and aiding in its natural
evaporation.
Electrolysis is the only method
which permanently destroys hairs
on the face without risk of injury
Hairs otherwise may be perma-
nently destroyed by X-ray treat
ment, but the risk of burn is such
that competent operators seldom il
ever use X-ray treatment for this
purpose about the face, except per-
haps to epillate bunch of hairs
from a local lesion such as a mole
or a patch of ringworm.
| Forty to fifty coarse hairs may
be removed at each sitting, from
one-half to one-tenth of these will
grow again, not having been de-
stroyed by the current. Nothing
but single needle can be safely
used, that is. with any degree OF
efficiency and without causing any
scar formation. The use of the
electric needle for destroying hairs
does not stimulate the growth oil
the finer or invisible hairs Of the
region treated. Sittings should be
about week apart, where con-
/ siderable growth is to be destroy
ed, such as beard on a woman's
; face. Hairs here and there should
be selected for removal, and not a
bunch in one spot. More or less ir-
ritation and sometimes swelling
follows the treatment and lasts fol
