The Ex-Kaiser's Own Story

William H., deposed German en-
peror, has written in his exile an auto
biography of extraordinary interest.
He has presented his own side of the
case, of course, in defending his posi-
ton throughout the course of events
eliminating in the world war. Many
of his statements cannot be accepted by
the American reader, but none the less
they are of engrossing interest.
His style is clear. His sentences
are not involved, as a rule. There is
little fornlality in his way of presenting
the story, which at times is converse
tional, almost gossipy, especially when
he describes the mannerisns, habits and
methods of his advisers.
Many intimate "reminiscences are
given, and much correspondence hith-
erto unpublished. Secret meetings with
the Russian car and the English king
are described in detail. The govern
ments of the allied nations are assaulted
continually. The United States and
Woodrow Wilson are blamed for much,
as was to be expected. The German

amount Of light is too much for these
irritable, sensitive nerve-endings In such
case they sensitize in precisely the
same way the pigment cells around them
and also increase them in number, and we
have what Is called the permanent freckle.
1t was now also clear to the scientists why
you cannot peel away or iron out or bleach
permanently the freckle. You look down
upon this little blotch through the semi.
transparent epidermis. But the pigment
layer is deep down among the nerve-end.
ings and blood vessels. To remove it by
cutting would not only skin the patient.
but would cause untold agony and future
trouble because of the destruction of nerve
bulbs. and only by the extirpation of the
nerve bulb could the freckle be perma
nently destroyed. since the freckle is the
direct result of the nerve itself.
To remove the freckle you would, there
fore, have to remove the nerve. And this,
besides being an acutely dangerous thing.
Is, fortunately, impossible.
The experiments also exploded the age
old superstition that dark.compleXioned
people are livery" The inception Of this
belief is interesting 1t has long been
known that when the liver is affected there
is an increase in the amount of bile poured
into the blood. One Of the effects Of this
is yellowish discoloration of the skin
Now II happens that all human skins, even
the whitest, have considerable yellowish
and greenish pi sment in the color cells.
The brunette has more Of this than the
blonde. but 1t is subdued and masked BY the
abundant supply of red blood in the capil,
laries. Now, when either the amount of
blood in the skin is diminished by a weak.
ening of the force of the heart beat or the
color Of the blood becomes less vivid from
disease, then its natural yellow tint stands
out more prominently.
The brunette when she turns pale, as a.
were, really has her red screen Of blood
abruptly snatched from her yellow or
greenish pigment cells. Naturally. they
stand out with a more vivid distinctness.
But this does not mean that she is particle
more bilious than the chalkiest or palest
faced blonde. The blondes pigment cells
are paler, lack to degree the yellow or
brown or greenish tint. Consequently she
turns really pale because the red blood
screen Is snatched from these lesscolored
pigment cells, just as II is from the more
highly colored ones of her brunette sister
And that Is all there is to Il. What you
see is not the mark Of liver complaint
but the natural color Of the pigmentary
layer.

She can't get rid of the freckles except by
covering them up-and she ought to be
very careful how she does that.

Such is the peculiar and interesting

And now for the freckle. what II is and

A little distance down in the skin-which
for all its thinness is In layers somewhat
like an onion-is a layer OF cells which
contain coloring matter. This is known as
the Elementary layer, and while present In

and better developed in exposed parts, such
as the face, hands or arms.

TRECKLES are peculiar things They
do not do anybody any harm, put no
woman likes to have them spotting
her face or her arms or her shoulders.
Especially are freckles obnoxious when eve
ming dress is worn Therefore women have
sought probably for centuries. for some,
thing which would eradicate the little yel.
low or brown blotches from the skin
But freckles. as has been said. are pc.
culiar things. indeed You can iron out
wrinkles, or you can cut away muscles
and bring back fabby faces to a semblance
Of frmness; or you can bleach. and even
peel, the whitening ,to-parchmenr skin OF
advancing years and grow a new skin ten
or fifteen years younger. But you cannot
iron or cut out or bleach out or peel away
freckles. They come and go apparently OF
their own sweet will.
Why this is so-and indeed, what freck.
les actually are-remained unknown even
to science until very recently. Further on
these new and interesting discoveries will
be detailed.
The fact then that the most famous
beauty specialist Of Paris. M Autard has
worked out a way of making these blem.
ishes invisible ought certainly to make all
freckle owners pause at absorbed attention.
DR.. Autard paints them out with an air
brush. the tool used by artists in delicate
retouching work on photographs.
But beneath this so simple announce,
ment lies a world of unexpected calcula.
lions and difficulties, all OF which the
French specialist had to overcome before
he could perfect his method. Having con.
WINGED himself that the freckles could not
be eradicated. It was obvious that the only
thing left to do was to cover them up Dr..
Autard's first problem. then. was what to
use for the covering.
Obviously paint or some substance akin
to 1t which could be spread upon the skin
was what he must use. Having found the
medium, he then had to be sure that its
ingredients were harmless. Whatever was
to be used must contain no mineral pig.
ments or anything which would irritate or
poison the skin, else in removing the
freckles he might leave the lady like that
man in the Bible who was possessed of a
devil. and after II was cast out had seven
more enter in It place
Again there was the problem of making
the freckle-obscuring stuff stick on and
stay on. DR.. Autard, after many expert.
ments, evolved a powder of vegetable orr.
gin which would not hurt the skin and
which. when mixed in glycerine, would stay
put.
Then came the problems of the colors
of the material and how to apply It.
As to the first problem, II the patients
that the specialist had In mind had been
store-window dummies, his task would have
been easy. All he would have had to do
would have been to put a daub Of one color
here another there and a little bit Of an.
other somewhere else. But he knew that
none of his patients would want to look
like Q store.window dummy. Nor could
he take brush and painstakingly paint

the sensation we call red. The fastest the
eye can perceive are a SEVENTEEN of an

call violet. There are still faster waves
that the eye cannot perceive but the cam.
era can. It is In this region that the
chemical or actinic rays are found, and
they have the power o; damaging u.s. They
have, in a degree, the same astonishing
The pigmentary layer under our skins
seems to be an effort of nature TO put up
an umbrella or parasol all around us to
keep out these damaging rays.
Whenever the skin Is exposed to an ex.
cess Of light this protective layer. through
some chemical process not well under
stood, becomes darker and thicker-In
other words, the shading parasol Is re-

perate climates. Among natives of TEN.
perate climates this effect of the chemical
rays OF the sun is seen to a lesser degree
in the tanning" which everyone acquires
when more than usually exposed TO the
sun in the course of a Summer holiday.
That this increase Of pigment is due 20
light and not to heat is shown by the fact
that individuals whose occupations lead
them to be exposed to great heat become
pale rather than tanned; for example,
bakers and stokers and those who attend
at Turkish baths.

could not make q piecemeal lob of It. In
other words. he was forced to cover up
both freckled and unfreckled portions alike
Then came the further problem OF SO
treating the material that It would yield as
naturally as real skin to the muscular
movements Of the face in smiling, talking
and so on. For just as no woman would
want to be painted up like the store-window
dummy. so no one would want to 60 around
with her face perfectly rigid for fear Of
cracking off the freckle covering.
Furthermore. the substance had to be
waterproof It had not only to resist the
natural moisture that exudes from the
pores OF the skin, but also to resist rains
fogs and even, perhaps, tears.
Anyone will agree that this was some
set OF problems for any man to have to
solve.
Brushes. even to the finest. were still too
coarse tools to put on the freckle-covering
mixture. Very well. The air-brush might
do. This Is an instrument that holds
small quantity of ink which is forced out
Of tiny nozzle In fine spray by air pres
sure. He tried 1t and found that It dis.
tributed his mixture evenly over the skins
surface.
But II there were any Precipitation or
natural oil on the face when treated, the
freckle-covering would not stick! DR..
Autard, therefore, had to invent something
that would make the skin dry and oilless.
He succeeded at last in making a prepare
ton with an ether base that by rapid evap-
grafton takes away all moisture and grease.
After this has been put on the patients
face an electric dryer is turned on. BY
this the skin surface is heated until the
pores are we'll open.
When this is done the specialist turns on
his air.brush and rapidly covers the skin
with fine spray Of the frecklecoverer.
Before these operations, however, an.
other and most important one takes place.
Is the careful matching Of the mixture
with the color OF the skin to be treated.
DR.. Autard prepares his various colors,
testing them again and again until they ex.
actly coincide In tint with the unfreckied

been more stimulated by the chemical
rays than surrounding cells. 1t has turned
darker and grown thicker
But why. science asked. should these
cells react differently from the others to
light, and why should they usually create
twentieth of an inch to an eighth of an
inch in diameter?
At last 1t occurred to one scientist to look
under the freckles and to examine infinitely
and microscopicaily there. The surprising
discovery was then made that the freckle
was darkest and thickest Immediately
around the ends Of the little nerves that
give us our sensation Of touch. Such
nerve-euding or bulb is shown in &C in
the picture on the right-hand upper corner
Of the page. It was also found that invar.
ably freckles started from this point and
spread over more or less extended areas.
Thousands Of the nerve-endings, of course.
had no freckles over them, because so nu.
merous are these nerve-endings in the skin
that II each one had freckle over 1t the
skin would be one vast frcckle.
The conclusion was therefore forced
upon the investigators that the freckle was
endings, which, for some reason or other.
were more sensitive to light than others
which remained unfreckled. In other words,
here were tenderer nerve sisters who
needed darker, thicker parasols.
The method OF the formation of the
freckle was then studied. 1t was found
that the pigment cells not only deepened
in color but increased in number. The
deepening in color was, apparently, the re-
sulting combined nerve action and light
action--that is, the nerve seeking protec.
ton as some unknown means of further
sensitizing the little color cells to light in
precisely the same way that skilful pho.
tographer can prepare films or plates more
sensitive to light than others. The in.
crease in number or prolification was due
entirely to the efforts of the protection.

scientist why II is that some freckles pass
