HAD THE LAUGH ON JAILER
Prisoner in Tower of London Escaped and Literally Left Ills "Host"
 in Embarrassment

' During that period in English his- tory when 1t was quite the thing" to be shut up in the Tower of London the prisoner, says writer in Cham bers' Journal, could live comfortably. He could order what furniture he pleased-and even plate and tapes tries-but there was one condition: he could take nothing out of the tow CT again. If he went out by way of the scaffold 1t did not. matter much; but if he was acquitted or escaped his expenditure was a total loss. All the furnishings became the perquisites of the neutenant-a circumstance from which we may confidently infer that he encouraged his prisoners to make themselves as comfortable as possible, regardless of expense.
 Sometimes, however, the lieutenant met a stone as hard as himself-in other words, Greek met Greek. Such a one was Sir William Seymour, after wards duke of Somerset. Though not at all blessed with wealth, the knight ordeYed expensive tapestries, silver plate and the best of furniture while the lieutenant stood by and rubbed his hands. in anticipation of his, future inheritance.
 Sir William Seymour, however, no- ticing that a cart came almost daily to deliver hay and fagots at the en- trance under the Bloody tower exactly opposite his prison, conceived the idea of escaping. ~A friend smuggled slouch hat, 8 false beard and smock in to him, and one day while the carter was inside delivering his goods Sir William strolled out, mounted the driv- CTS seat, turned the horse round and calmly drove out of the Iron gate. There horses awaited him; he took boat opposite Greenwich and reached a ship that he had chartered to carry him to France.
 The matter naturally made trouble for the lieutenant, but he consoled him. self with the thought of the rich per quisites that Sir William had left. What, then, was his indignation to find that the fugitive had paid flor none of the things, and that he himself was sued by the tradesman who had supplied themI Even so, he might have recov- cred at least some Of his money by the sale of the goods, but to his dis gust he found that the facetious knight had cut up the most valuable tapes tries to fit the freplaces.

breeders of purebreds of unh heard of producing capacity have taken toll that the average farmer is ashamed to talk about. All because of milk fever humanus, technically known as milk fever jackasicus.
 There are any number of other disastrous effects from this fever, as witness the neglected condition of orchards; meadows overgrown with hardhack; increasing number of mis- erable scrub cattle; pooling plans; non-pooling plans; thousands of gal Ions of milk being dumped daily into the sewer or spread on fields and SO on without end. But the cure inter ests us more, than all of these.
 The Milky Way is in. need of re- pairs. So many truck loads of seven, eight and innocent milk have tra- veled over this route that the road is worn to a,frazzle, making travel ex- ceedingly difficult and hazardous. In the meantime the beef road, the, sheep road, the vegetable road and other highways used as outlets for the farmer in years past, have grown up to brush through neglect. Now the poor farmer knows not which way to turn. With milk for May netting around $1.25 per Anundred he is9hard pressed to meet his obliga- tions. Consequently his faith in CO., operative marketing as an fopen se- same to new markets at old high prices received a severe jolt. In some cases the jarring qualities of this jolt have, been great enough to cause the farmer to sell out, lock, stock and barrel-oply, to resume operations again in/a new field.
 If you have reason to- question these statements, come out to New England or New York state and browse around bit. You'll lind plenty living examples.
 Now it would" seem that the cure for this disease is in the hands of the County Farm Bureaus. Let them pump little good advice into the farmer, then tie up his head with an old red sock until he partly for gets milk and inject a little old fashioned New England pride into his neck. After this simple home remedy has had an opportunity to work we believe results will be ob- served of truly startling nature.

Facial Reconstruction.

FacIaI HeconSrruCLIons
 The possibilities conjured up in the most prosaic imagination by even a casual summary of happenings at the eleventh annual congress of~the Amer jean College of Surgeons, held in Phil adelphia recently, make an appeal of outstanding general interest, says w.. A. McGarry in the Scientific Amert can. Perhaps the most amazing single item was the war-born work in facial reconstruction. But at first glance the building of human face seems phenomena achievement, its impor- tance to the whole public dwindles perceptibly in comparison to some oth- CT trails that daring surgeons are blaz- ing with encouraging success in sec tions of the human body almost un- charted, so far as the knife of the operator is concerned.
 The brain, for instance, has been approached by the most skillful sur geons, even in recent years, with hesi- tancy. Intra-cranial operations have been a last resort. By actual opera tions at the recent congress 1t was demonstrated not only that this GOA dition no longer exists, but that the specialist in brain surgery Is now as sure of his ground as the bonesetter. In the presence of famous surgeons from many countries of Europe and South America, one surgeon, working by the light of tiny electric bulb in- serted into the hole which he had cut in the patients skull, performed an operation consuming more than two hours.

accordingly. But what is good in still photog-

for the camera.

Applying Mechanics to Beauty

IN the motion picture field, a Photographic"
face is essential for Job to act If one
would attain success, one must have face
that can be photographed in perspective and stin
appear normal. Thousands Of young women are
sure they have such faces, and have applied for
positions as screen stars, only to be turned down
Wherever there is too great a supply a sys-
tenn Of selection must be evolved if the market
is not to be swamped. Allan Dwan noted mo-
ton picture producer, has announced that he has
discovered and systematized the Photographic
qualities Of the perfect camera face.
Here is the recipe:
Take in hand T-square, couple Of triangles,
a tape-measure, and a mathematician's compass,
and proceed to measure the curves, contours and
planes Of your face, in accordance with directions
while you stand before the mirror to make sure
your operations are correct.
Nj Dwan, before becoming identified with
motion pictures, was an electrical engineer and
professor Of physics and mathematics at South
Bend University, Indiana. By applying the
knowledge he gained in these capacities, he was
enabled to evolve formula on the sound princ-
pie Of mathematics by which it is possible to de-
termine quickly accurately, and decisively the
value, photographically speaking, of face
