The selection of electric fixtures is
a real task. for these should conform
in style and quality to the type of the
house which you are about to build.
If your house is of the type found
along the Mediterranean, you would
probably want wrought iron fixtures,
and the more elaborate types of French
houses would require more refined fix

But for the American cottage-type
home. which is coming so much to the
front. the fixture which is reminiscent
OF the old-time kerosene lamp is appro-

Can't you imagine low, white house

us have dreamed of having some time?
Think how inappropriate modern
electric fixtures would be for this house
The fixture shown in the illustration

EVERYDAY PSYCHOLOGY

count for at least so per cent OF an So
called accidents.
The big reason why drivers become
reckless Is a part of what might be-
called automobile psychology. This psy.
chology makes use of new combina1s
ton of mental processes. No other com.
bination is exactly like It, 1t came in
with motor vehicles and will remain as
long as We continue to use them.
Now to explain this automobile psy-
chology. The automobile exercises the
human sensory and motor mechanisms
about as completely as anything can.
The eye. ear. touch and balance senses
operate simultaneously with a large
group of body muscles They must be
timed as accurately as the ignition sys-
tenn of the machine.
Such completely of human adjust
ment naturally give the operator a new
sense Of control over his surroundings.
A slight pressure with the toe on the
accelerator annihilateS distance. An
ether easy muscle combination brings
the machine TO complete stop. The
driver soon feels he is master Of all he
surveys.
This feeling grows as the human adj
justments are habituated by experience.
The personality is maximized. The next
step is craftsmanship child of an in
fiated ego. The result is what we call
accident.

You should correct your posture, G.,

Sometimes there is an edeme or
swelling due to Sunburn which will

SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.



There isn't a bivalve in the world
| that can compare with the human
heart for power. You and I may not
know any too much about the anatomy
of this organ, but we are certain that
there is heart of hearts deep down
| in the human breast. Now that's where
true love is located, and it's in the
right place.
Dear mel What mess of little loves
and fancies We pick up and store away
and how important temporary crush
may seem. but in the heart of hearts
one feels that these little thrills which
may come from a date or a dance
haven't any kick in them; that is. for
the heart of hearts.
When you compare the sexes, which
so resemble each other these days, you
| find that the mysterious heart Of hearts
| is usually located in the feminine
breast, for IL Is woman who has the
capacity for such singular affection.
Man appears to have coolies of love
| just as he has coolies of money, but
his love is often so much small change
which does not compare with the little
gold coin of affection which woman
carries in her heart es in a purse.
Men talk love and make love but
that isn't to say that they have love-
They are your statesmen all right. but
after they have shown their samples
they can't produce the goods. The less
love they have. the more love they talk,
but with woman It's quite the other
way.
Man may have heart of hearts Just
a 9 IA no la vtgtH 1ae {m
| purse, or flask but he has so many
other pockets and so many other hearts
| that girl can't tell which one to pick
| We are not supposed to think that a
| girl is opening hsr heart OF hearts to
man when she Is nice 10 him and ac-
ceDtS his miscellaneous attentions. It's
| likely that she finds such man useful
| as an escort who will lead her about
pretty much as pet dog may do.
In these days of femininity woman is
| having chance To reveal her heart of
| hearts. for she has more freedom than
WIS enjoyed by her mother in the good
old days when woman stood and loved
Ike Patience on a Monument and had
no more to say than the Sphinx. Now
she's stepping of,
Woman can now pick and choose
| among men the way she does at the
IlOS1@Ty counter on bargain day. She
doesn't have to accept the first Oswald
| who comes along, but can wait awhile
| and look EN- over before she selects a
meal ticket
The freedom OF woman as now being
enjoyed and displayed has more than
| one angle and there is something more
| to it than job, bob. cigarette and bal
lot. 1t is the freedom TO love in such
a way that her submerged heart of
/ hearts can come to the surface
| We are net quite ready to go out
| and propose TO men the way they have
/ been doing with us, but we are In a
| position to exercise 4 little choice In
the matter
It's better TO have loved and lost
than never to have loved at all, but
| It's best of all TO love and win so that
you can really give your man the love
which wells up in your heart Of hearts.

A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN n. GUM.
Theatrical Religion.

Text: Therefore when thou doest
thine aims, do not sound trumpet
before thee, as the hypocrites do in the
synagogues and in the streets. that they
may have the glory of men. Matt
Viz.
In New Testament times the Greek
word here translated "hypocrite" meant
an actor--a stage player There Is a
good deal of stage playing in religion
or what we might call theatrical re-
ligion. An actor is not what he APP
pears to be on the stage. He Is simply
playing a role. And in religious circles
there are many who play the role Of
saint without an element of saintlines'
in their character.
1t is this theatrical religion the text
condemns-a religion which manifests
itself only in religious pretensions, reli-
gious regalia and religious ceremonies
Back of such religion there is no heart
and soul, no vital conviction, and no
genuine sincerity. It's performances are
all theatrical. engaged in merely to win
the admiration and praise of men.
The man who is merely stage acting
in religion will cease playing the part
when there is no audience to applaud
Forbid him to sound a trumpet before
him when he is about to give to the
poor, and he will cease to give. Forbid
him to pray where he will be seen and
heard Of men and he will cease to pray
Forbid him to magnify himself in his
religious work and he will cease to be a
religious worker
All true men abhor this playing to-
the-stage kind of religion. God repu-
dates and condemns it. God is a
spirit, and they that worship Him must
worship Him in spirit and truth" True
religion springs from spiritual insight
and conviction. and manifests itself in
moral purity, faithfulness to duty and
unselfish service to God and men. The
worlds greatest need is such religion.

THERE'S the recipe for an easy, smiling
IL washday:
washingmachine, plenty of hot water,
box of Super Suds-and that's all you
need!The washing be out in farlesstime
clothes whittier and fresher -a and you're
lesstired than everbefore. You'llbe amazed
at the difference this new soap makes.
Bead soap is as great an improvement
over present forms of soap as flakes were
over old bar soaps. Flakes were better
than bar soap. But hard to dissolve,
gummy, prone to stick to clothes through
many rinsings. And wasteful, too.
Now comes Super Studs! Thinner, more
soluble, than any soap ever made. Beads
of soap--tiny, porous, tissue-thin. Beads
that burst into instant suds even in the
hardest water.
Think what this instant sudsing means.
Economy--no soap is wasted. Every par
ticle dissolves. Speed -suds as soon as
you put Super Studs in the water. Fcwer
rinsings the soap washes out easily-no
soap remains to yellow and rot the fabric.

Today in
Washington History
by DONALD A. CRAIG.

August Is, 1854. the White
House today the gloom of last night
was in a measure dispelled by reports
that President Garfields condition was
slightly better During the night the
city was filled with rumors that the
President was dying from the effects
of the assassin's bullet. Although these
rumors were exaggerated. the truth was
serious enough, and those best &C
quainted with the case were truly
alarmed. The bulletin issued by the
physicians at ! o'clock last night showed
increased temperature and more rapid
pulse and respiration, with vomiting
and general restlessness.
There is no Disgusting the fact, y
said Private Secretary Brown when he
gave out this bulletin, that this is very
unsatisfactory
But this morning Mr.. Brown was
constantly more reaSsuring in his re-
marks to those who called. During the
forenoon the members of the Cabinet
called. Attorney General McVeagh was
not at all hopeful, but all the others
seemed more sanguine. It. is still hoped
that the President can be sustained
by injections of food until his stomach
is strengthened.
About $50 o'clock this morning Pri-
yate Secretary Brown came from the
surgeons room and reported that the
President was then sleeping. No NOR
phia had been injected, and there has
been no report of nausea since 8 am.
Secretary Brown said that when the
wound was dressed this morning 1t was
found to be in a healthy condition.
1t is not expected that Vice President
Arthur will come to the city today. He
is being kept advised hourly by tele-
graph of the Presidents condition. 1t
could not be learned officially today
whether the Vice President has been
telegraphed for, but it is held to be
not absolutely necessary that he be
here, even in case Of the worst, as he
can just as we'll take the oath of the
presidential Office in New York City as
in Washington,
The announcement that President
Garfield has been dyspeptic for many
years came as surprise to those who
have known him only as he appeared
in public. This accounts for his rare
appearance at evening entertainments,
when rich viands are usually served.
During the excitement of the recent
political campaign, Secretary Brown
says. the President suffered greatly
from this malady, which he contracted
in the Army during the war.

DISCOURAGED.
Answer--(D An excessively dry skin
usually indicates poor health. Build
up your weight to the average figure for
your age and height. Drink a quart of
milk or pint of cream daily if you are
underweight. At bedtime cleanse your
face with cold cream, wipe 1t Off, and
then make a second application OF the
cold cream. Wipe this off and pat on
skin tonic. You may use a lotion
made of equal parts of roSe-water and
glycerin, Next morning repeat the
treatment. Omit washing your face
with water for the present, CD If your
skin is naturally fair. the only way to
darken 1t is to acquire coat OF tan by
exposure to the sun. 1 do not advise
this in your case. however. since it
would make your skin even dryer than
1t is. (3) II your hair is naturally
curly but dry. you may steam it with
hot towels and then massage in some
