THE CHEMISTRY OF BEAUTY.
by HARRIET LUELLA MCO

Everything that has been made by
man has first been created in the
mind. 1t is the same with Beauty.
II you are not satisfied with what
you have and wish to attain loneliness,
you must first build it in your mind
because the lasting quality Of beauty
come from a reflection of beautiful
thoughts from within.
IT'S said that man is mind. The
symbols of his mind are his thoughts.
Thoughts are expressed in words and
words are the compn nions of man. We

Post Office Department Locates
Han After Lcng Search.

New York.-How 5000 in currency
travelled back and forth In the mails
for three years looking for its owner,
until 1t finally reached him, is told III
d recent post office publication. The
loss occurred In Milwaukee, the loser
Dein 4 midget actor and vaudeville
performer. That was in 1920 and the
Dllls were in a wallet, lost in a de-
partment store In that city. The wal
let contained $3.50, besides a lot of
personal papers.
1t would appear, says the post office
paper, that whoever found the wallet
took out for himself or herself all bills
in excess Of 5000 and then placed the
wallet with the remainder of the
money In a small paper box, and this
box, wrapped very loosely in a single
thickness Of ordinary wrapping paper,
secured by a light piece Of string, was
offered at the post Office for mailing.
1t bore the address of the owner of
the wallet.
When the package was offered at the
post office for mailing, as parcel-post
packages are required to be, the re-
ceiving clerk evidently requested the
sender to write his or her name and
address upon it, as required for parcel
post packages, but, instead of comply
ing with this request, the sender wrote
upon the package the name Of a store,
without local address, II then depos-
tied the package to go forward In the
mails.
The owner Of the wallet had re-
moved from the address in question by
the time the package reached It's des-
tination and, as those at the address
had forgotten his new one, delivery
could not be effected. AS a result, the
package was treated as unbelievable
and notice was sem to the store name
which had been written on the pack
age in lieu of his correct name and
address, but as this proved to be nc
titious, the package was finally sent
to the division of dead letters.
Opened In the dead letter office, the
$500 was found. Using the address on
the other Enclosures, a determined eff
fort was made to locate the addressee.
He WAS traced across the continent
and ever to Germany, and eventually |
he was located through Information

Bridal Ship Reaches
u. S. in Record Time

New York.-Although she had the
most adverse weather conditions to
contend with, the Scandinavian-Amer-
lean liner Frederick VIII established
a speed record between Scandinavia
and the United States, her commander
said, when the vessel locked recently
at Pier II, HobokeD.
The ship, according to her com
mander, Capt. Frederick Mechlenburg,
made the trip in nine days from
Christiania and ten days from Copen-
hagen. The voyage normally takes
from ten to eleven days.
Captain Mechlenburg said he had
gone without sleep many hours when
the ship ran into a gale. At times, he
said, the wind blew 80 miles an hour
and mountainous waves swept the
bridge. Among the S74 passengers
were 80 Danish and Norwegian "pic-
ture brides" Many of the prospective
husbands net them at the pier.

S. Warns Dishonest
Applicants for Jobs

Washlngton.-You've got to tell HE
truth, If you want a government job.
This is the warning of William G. Dem
ing, president Of the United States civil
service commission, to would-be appli-
cants for federal employment. In the
past year., Mr.. Den.ing said in a state
ment, S35 persons were added to the
commissions barred list or roster of
those who by their own dishonesty
have forfeited the right to compete in
civil service examinations.
BY far the majority of these-ap-
proximately 700-were declared un-
suitable, because of false statements
in their applications on such questions
as age, education, experience or crimi-
nal record. Six offered brides for fed
eral positions; six forged medical GER
tlficates, giving themselves clean bills
of health % were discovered cheating
In the examination rooms, while two
were found dislOyal to the government.
But these figures, Mr.. Deming added.
10 not reflect upon the character of
civil service applicants in general, for
than 2OO,0 900 persons were exam
med during the year.
