ONE IN 900 YEARS

Thus Say Men Who Followed the
 Vikings Course

Boston, Aug. Il Ps-one in 900 years is enough to sail the Viking course from Norway to the North American continent - take it from Captain Gerhard Folgero. /
 The captain and three compan- ion Norsemen who put into harbor yesterday in their tiny A2 foot sail ing boat after a 6,400 mile journey that started at Bergen on May 23 have had their fill of adventure.
 They were the first to make the perilous voyage since Lief Erickson, for whom they named their craft but they were willing to rest on their laurels. When picked up by the coast guard cutter Redwing be- calmed off Cape Ann they had left exactly one salt fish, pound ot coffee, four potatoes and two gallons of water with Philadelphia and the sesouicentennial exposition a long way off.
 Behind them lay vivid recollec- lions of dangers sufficient to make the hardest mariner piuiieh' times Captain Folgero had eXclalm- ed. We are gone" and three times hope returned.

The Weekly Manicure.

The weekly manicure need not take
more than half an hour of your time,
though to do your nails justice it
should not be accomplished in much
less than that amount. Such a treat
ment not only keeps the nails looking

and consequently the hands. young
looking we'll into old age.
The thorough weekly manicure IS as
follows: First, shape the nails to q
rounded oval that IS not too long with
a flexible steel file of good quality.
Second, soak the finger nails for few
moments In a bowl Of warm, soapy
water, clean under the nails and file
off the rough bits of nail that you
raise by the cleaning with the fine side
of an emery board. This gives per-
fectly smooth edge. Third, slip the
ends of your curved manicure scissors
off the ragged bits of nail and skin
which collect in each corner. If there
are loose, rough bits of cuticle around
the sides of the nail clip these off also,
but do not cut the cuticle unless you
absolutely must.
Fourth, II there are any stains left
remove them with lemon Juice, and,
fifth, give the nails a thorough polish

220 Scotsmen Captured.

NANTASKET, Mass, June II, 1776.
This sandy shore has of late become
q favorite vantage point for watching
the new game recently invented py
Yankee kipers, as described in re-
cent dispatches from the nearby town
Of Boston. The object of the game, II
NAV be recalled, is to capture Brit
ish soldiers by the boatload before
they can disembark and begin the
careers Of murder and oppression for
which the Kings ministers have sent
them across the sea.
Early this morning four Continental
cruisers won one Of these games,
with a. total capture of about 220
Scotch Highlanders, but not until the
Scotsmen had made for themselves
brave reputation as valiant lighting
men. Like the hundred or so Of their
comrades who were captured near
Marblehead a week ago, these Scots
men were making for Boston. They
expected to unite there with the Brit.
ish army, which, as a matter Of fact,
had not been in Boston since the last
of March.
The Highlanders were in the George,
l20 tons burden, mounting six can.
non, and the Annabella, $50 tons bur-
den, mounting two swivels.
Their officers were Lieut.. Col. Archi-
bald Campbell and Maj. Mckenzie.
The exact details of the conflict are
not known. but according to one re.
port the SCotSmen were first sighted
when standing in for Light House
Channel yesterday. The Continental
cruisers were soon after them, being
assisted for a time by Connecticut's s
brig Defense, under Capt. Seth Hard
ing.
Further assistance of n valuable ma
ture was given by the Massachusetts
militia, who during part Of the con-
test played four 18-pounders upon
the George and the Annabella
with such skill and Zest that at one
time the Georges commander was
about ready to follow the militia's de-
mand that he strike to this colony"
But there was no surrender until the
IIighlanderS had used up all their am
munition. BY that time II of their
number had been killed, among them
being Maj. Mckenzie. Lieut.. Col.
Campbell and all his surviving men
are prisoners.
Before surrendering the Scots tore
up their battalion colors and threw
them overheard. Four men on the
American ships were severely wound

cuticle with an orangewood stick. At
ter q short time you can wash off the
cream and give the nails final quick
polish with q clean buffer.
There are two "short cuts which
you can take if your nails look very
badly and you have not the time for
this thorough manicure. One is to use
a cuticle solvent which will bleach
stains while it dissolves the dead
cuticle. The other is to use varnish,
which saves you polishing. Be sure
you get the very best quality of either
Of these, and that you use cold cream
daily.
Brown EyeS-There IS no sense to
the statement that lipstick's ingre-
dents would cause the lips to turn
pale. Possibly some one wanted to
discourage the habit. If that is It, II is
pity the statement was not a more
convincing one, as nothing makes a
girl look worse than artificially red
dened lips, especially in the day time
out in the bright sunlight.
T. S. P.-Take a daily full warm
bath and use d bathbrush to stimulate
your skin into greater activity, as
keeping the pores very active over the
whole body relieves the pores of the
face, so that they gradually refine
while they throw off cases of stubborn
blackheads.
Extract the coarse hairs with tweez.
ers every time they show above the
skin. Stop using astringents for a
time and try nothing but very cold
water for closing the pores after any
kind of cleansing.

The Vacation.

Now that vacation time has como
and were all either starting Off or
planning for the big two weeks, many
lonely girls are waiting with beating
hearts for their annual holiday. Sc
cretly they're dreaming Of good times
they've never had-ardent admirers
such as they've never seen-moon-
light on the lake and all the rest Of
the delightful things which are sup.
posed to go with vacations.
You see so much fiction has been
written about the Summer romance
that ripens into beautiful love that
forlorn, unpopular maidenS fly to
Summer resort confident Of finding
their Prince Charming there to meet
them. And it's sad. but true, that
those girls who are most anxious that
their vacations should bring them
shining romance are most keenly dis
appointed when they meet failure.
This isn't intended to be a solemn
warning that there are no good times
to be had at the mountain or seaside
place you've chosen for your Summer
outing. But don't get too worked up
over it all. Don't go away tense with
expectancy. Don't ruin the e>twO weeks
Of rest you need SO much by wailing
over what might have been.
Gloria hadn't ever had much fun in
romance-just a little one would
have satisfied her perfectly. So she
invested | a perfect trouSseau Of
Summer things, picked out a highly
expensive and popular hotel III the
Adirondacks. persuaded her best girl
friend to go along with her. and
started out all keyed up for adven-
ture.
She found the hotel quite as nice as
she had pictured, the scenery beauti-
full, the sports excellent and the food
perfect. But, alas! She found no ro.
nance. There We're several nice boys
on hand, who were rather nice to
Gloria and her pal. but there was no
curly.haired hero to fall madly in love
with her-there we're no sentimental
interludes under the moonlight, and
poor Gloria was miserable. All the
good that two weeks might have done
for her was lost in self-pity. She
couldn't forget for an instant that
she'd been cheated-cheated out of
the love affair she'd come all that way
to find.
It's better not to hope for too much
when you start off on the Summer
holiday. It's better not to make up
your mind definitely that If you don't
get a wonderful man this year your
entire outing is spoiled. Think Of all
the fun you can have, even If you
don't spend all your time signing and
making vows under the stars.
Go away with the idea firmly fixed
that you're going to have a darn
good time come what may-that
you're going to enjoy every second
Of sport and rest-that no lack Of
men can dim the joy Of life for you.
And, in this frame Of mind. you're
more than likely to be pleasantly sur
prised- rather than bitterly disap.
pointed.

Compete of Cherries.

Compotes are fruits preserved with
a little sugar and made as they are
required. For a cherry compete, take
two pounds of cherries, one cup of
sugar and the strained juice Of two
lemons. The cherries should be red,
as they will have a more piquant fla
vor. Cut the stems, leaving an inch
to each cherry, then put the fruit in
a saucepan with the sugar and lemon
juice. Put them over slow fire,
shaking the pan occasionally. Boil
for three minutes, then remove them
from the saucepan. Return any Of
the sirup to the saucepan and reduce
it by boiling. When ready to serve,
pile the cherries in a pyramid in a
glass dish and pour the sirup over
them.

One does not need SO warm a fur

is that some of the leading furriers

such as gaZelle and baby Persian
