WORLD FAMOUS STORIES
A MANS PIPE
A MANS PIPE
"a French Story

not only dares us to throw him out, but
boasts that he will get an audience
with your majesty In spite of u.s."
Louis XIV did not have to think. at
must be Jean Bart" ne said. We'll, let
him finish his pipe and then admit
him"
But Jean Bart had overheard. He
did not wait to finish his pipe. He
hastily emptied the pipe in the fireplace
and sprang toward the Kings private
chamber. Barely across the threshold
he stopped to bow respectfully IN the
presence of his sovereign.
Jean Bart had reached his goal. He
was as much at ease there in the pres
ence of his superior as he always was
when maneuvering In front of a squad
ron of enemy ships. He led the CONVEX
sation over the reefs and narrows and
rocks, strategically, as he would con-
duct naval campaign. He had def
mite objective-he had his own idea of
the victory he wished.
That is to say, Jean Bart began 70
work toward his desire by letting the
King give him compliments on how he
had got out of Dunkirk when he had
been blockaded by the British. and on
his burning of 81 enemy English ships
at sea, and on his sensational landing
at Newcastle. He finished by kneeline
before his majesty and begging for the
life of Keyser, one of his sailors, who
was condemned to die for having killed
his opponent in a duel. Duels were then
forbidden, under penalty of death.
The King could be seen to hesitate.
Jean Bart's tongue was made elo-
quent by his friendship for keySer. He
begged. pleaded, and argued
Jean Bart" said Louis XIV at last.
Il grant that which I have twice be-
tore refused you
Sire" answered Jean Bart, my
father, 2 of my brothers. and 20 other
members of my family died in the sery-
ice of your majesty. You have today
given me the life of a sailor. In return
for this one life tender you my receipt
for the % lives of my relatives"
Jean Bart left the Kings chamber
with tears IN his eyes, and crying Long
live the King!" He had been closeted
with his majesty for half an hour, and
was. therefore, Immediately surrounded
by envious courtierS. who begged him
to tell them all how he had escaped
from the English at DunkirS.
DO YOU really want to know how l
got by that blockade" he asked. seeing
every one closing i'm around him.
Yes. Tell us!" they ell cried.
I'll show you" said Jean Bart. Bit
bang, swat! Push. pun. tugl Jean
Bart forced his way none too gently
through the crowded admirers. "That, .
said Jean Bart, when he had reached
the outer door. SIS Just the way / Got
out of the port of Dunkirk when block
AIDED by the British"
Saying which, Jean Bart left The
Kings antechamber, filling his pipe and
lighting 1t on the way.

A Sermon for Today
Social consequences
BIZ REV. JOHN R. GUM.

Text And that man persisted not
alone In his iniquity "--JoShua xxif2O.
No man ever perishes alone in his
iniquity. When a man sins others are
forced 10 share with him the conse-
quenees OF his wrongdoing.
Take the drinking man. My drink
ing is nobody's business but uYine.'' he
says. But it Is somebody elSes business.
It Is particularly the business of his
wife and children; for in frightful ways.
too many TO mention. the penalty OF his
drinking is visited upon them
Men often try 10 excuse themselves In
wrongdoing, saying, Il am not harm
Ing anybody but myself" Their friends
often plead the same excuse for them.
How often we hear Ii said of some man.
He Is good sort of fellow In spite az
his badness; he wouldn't harm a hair
on your head. the only person he ever
harms is himself" But our social rela~
lions are such that one cannot sin
against himself or harm himself, with
out hurting somebody else
Surely Ii would have a deterring effect
upon men. II they would pause and con-
slider how their evil doingS damn the
innocent.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Sunday, July 90.

Astrologers read tomorrow as rather
an unimportant day in planetary d.
rection. Benefic aspects dominate.
Under this rule men and women are
likely to be open-minded and inclined
to accept religious teachings.
The sway is supposed to cause criti-
cism of teachers while approving the
doctrines elucidated.
The planetary government should be
fairly favorable for the clergy who may
have to combat much ignorant preju-
INce
This should be an suspicious sway for
all who seek sermons in stones and
books In the running brooks All out
door recreations should be pleasant and
stimulating under this direction of the
stars.
1t Is not lucky day for courtship,
for deception is supposed to be sue
cessful under this rule.
Love letters may be peculiarly peril
GUS, since they may be misleading and
may incline to false representations.
Organized crime Is to flourish as
never before, through the next three
months, If the stars are rightly in
terpreted
New war rumors may be expected
next month, when Europe will face
serious problems
New Zealand and the South Seas
now come under menacing planetary
rule which may result seriously. Prog
ress may be retarded in many places.
Persons whose birth date it is have
the augury Of happy. prosperous
year. but they should avoid temptation
to be extravagant.
Children born on that day may be
exceedingly fond of all the good things
of life, generous and hospitable. The
subjects of this sign usually love dress
and amusement.

Premature Graying.

Dear Miss Leeds: % I am 20 years
old and have light brown hair. Lately
l have noticed that / am getting quite
a lot of gray hairs. What causes this?
I dry my hair after shampoo with
one of those round electric heaters.
Could this have any effect on my hair?
90 Do you advise the use OF ultra
violet rays for removing superfuous
hair? ELINOR.
Answer.--1) There are several fac
tors that may cause premature gray
ing of the hair. These include hered1ty
physical illness, mental strain, injury
to the scalp and wrong local treatments
for scalp and hair. Quick drying with
artificial heat has tendency to MAKE
the hair dry and brittle and this may
also be an indirect cause of grazing.
Your first concern should be to build
up radiant health by right diet, exer-
else and rest. Massage your scalp daily
to stimulate the circulation and give
your hair an air bath. Avoid tight, hot
hats. Give your hair and scalp warm
oil treatment with olive oil before your
shampoo Here is a special hair tonic
for grazing hair: Two drains nux vonn-
lea, ten drops oil Of bergamot, two
drains sulphate of iron, one ounce
cologne water, one dram tincture OF
capsicum. two ounces bay rum, two
ounces distilled water. Shake well be-
fore applying to your scalp with a
medicine dropper Massage well after
the application. Use this tonic twice a
week. ~ Doctors disagree as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of using ray treatments for
superfiuous hair In the absence OF
medical agreement on this point, 1t Is
probably safer to resort to electrolysis.
I have known Of successful treatments
with certain rays, however.

Lying Abed in the Morning.

Early to bed and early to rise Is
twaddle to one hygienically wise. IL

ancient precept
Sa far as our present knowledge goes
IL doesn't matter whether one retirO
TO bed at o'clock or at ~ O'Clock,
provided one gets the necessary number
OF hours OF sleep. With very lew
exceptions the necessary hours OF sleep
vary with age, as follows
Infants under months OF age l8 hours
Infants year old, ......,,.,.l5 hours
Infants from to years old. ID hours
Children from 2 TO s years old IL hours
Children from to years old III hours
Children from 10 to Is years
old ............4 lOts hours

Adults liz 10 middle age. $50. 8 hours
Mature adults. .......,....4.s Hpule
Elderly but still active workers. 7 hours
Elderly retired or sedentary
folk ....,...ttt,.t, .b1e nouts
Factors In individual cases may alter
these figures slightly For example, one
requires more sleep when one does hard
physical work or play, and less sleep
when one does mainly mental work.
