in 1873 as messenger to the Secretary
and today holds the same job. He is an
old man now, but possessed of a mind
that Is as keen as 1t was in the days
rof President Grant.
Hamilton Fish of New York was serv-
ing as Secretary Of State when Savoy
won his job as messenger. He has served
every Secretary of State since that time.
Henry l.. Stimson has let 1t be known
that he Will keep the aged colored man
during the time he is in office.
Savoy is known as the Alpha and
Omega Of the Spanish war. 1t was he
who carried the ultimatum of the United
States to the Spanish Ambassador in
1898. and later he accompanied the
American commission to Paris and was
permitted to place the seals upon the
tpeace pact.
He was born in 1855 and distinctly re-
tmembers the assassination of President
Eiucoln. He was sweeping the sidewalk
at the Fish home the morning after the
tragedy when a. white man passed by
rand called out the news. He hurried
| into the house to tell about it.
Savoy says there has scarcely been a
parsonage OF distinction who has passed
Through Washington in the last half
century with whom he has not been ia
miliar at least by sight.
He was the son of Mr.. Fish's butler
and q maid who had been married
while in the Secretary's service.

sion in Congress or even be remotely
suggested. and it is a safe bet that at
least one member will start wise

Dry Palms.

Dry Palms.
Dear Miss Leeds-U The palms Of
my hands are very dry and at times
they crack and become very pain
full. Please tell me what Salve or 10
ton I should use on them. I have
tried cold cream and also glycerin
without success. 90 I am feet 6
inches tall and weigh 1873 pounds. Is
this correct? 90 My hair is inclined
to be wavy. Please suggest curling
fluid to use to encourage the curl.
Answer-D If you wash dishes or
have your hands in water good deal.
this would account in part for the ex-
cessive drynesS of your skin. After
washing your hands be very sure to
dry them well and rub in some olive oil
or cocoa butter. At bedtime 1t would
be a good plan TO coat your palms with
vaSeline. lanolin or cocoa butter and
bandage them with clean gauZe or mus
lin to keep the oily application on over
night. When the skin cracks you must
be very careful to avoid infection. Ask
your doctors opinion of your case. ca
You forget to state your age. but If
you are l9 years old your weight is
good. II you are IN the late twenties
you should weigh about 1876 pounds.
80 A good curling fluid may be made
Of drains gum tragacanth, 10 drops
glycerin and ounces rose water. Let
the mixture stand overnight before
using it. Moisten your hair with this
preparation before you put in water
waving combs or before you finger-wave
your hair. LOIS LEEDS.
Hairs on Lip.
Dear Miss Leeds--I am young girl
and l have heavy growth of hair on
my upper lip. How can l get rid of It?
If it is pulled out with tWeezers will
it grow in again? STANY.
AnSWer-YeS, the hairs will grow in
again and grow thicker If removed with
tweezers or shaved of. For permanent
relief have them removed by electricity
sis. II you do not want to do this
bleach the hairs with peroxide SO that
they will not show. Use the IS or II
volume peroxide. and If it dries the
skin too much apply little cold cream
now and then. LOIS LEEDS.

have the man tell us where the fire Is.
We can see with our own eyes
The girl of today has all the neces-
sary cash and information. When she
got rid Of her long hair she found that
there was some sort Of head under
the mop. and she has begun to use
that head.
She may be OVERRIDING her new in
dependence with her mannish clothes
and boyish bob, but these things Sar-
torial and tonsorial are only little
symptoms. The girls are on the job
and onto the game. That's what gets
mans goat.
Man must think up some new trick.
He can't bluff us any longer. The
modern woman isn't like bunch Of
straw. but is as Arm as the statue Of
Liberty.
1t will be quite while before man
adjusts himself to the new woman. but
when he does life can begin In earnest.

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO


The ability or inability to talk Is the
one important difference between a man
and a monkey. Without this all-im-
portant human trait of using words as
symbols OF things and ideas We would
be very little better off than the higher
type of animals. Culture and civiliza-
ton would be impossible because there
would be no means of passing on the
knowledge gained by successive genera
tons.
Man is especially favored in his capac-
ity for language. Just when In the
evolutionary process man picked this
up Is not known, but it is universally
conceded that all normal human beings
inherit the ability to speak. 1t is in
stinctive for human being to speak. 1t
is not instructive to speak the English
language. The mother tongue" Is the
language we happen to be brought up
on.
One who has lived in India number
of years tells of a child OF American
parents who began to speak the English
of his parents at the proper age for
children learning TO talk. Soon after
ward he mingled with native children
who spoke the Hindu language. The
result was that the child refused to
speak in any language. After some
months he suddenly started In on both
languages, keeping them distinctly
apart. He had taken this period of
time to adjust himself.
Now and then 1t happens that
child who is ready to talk does not
have a chance to learn as rapidly as he
is able In such cases the child in
vents language Of his own, for exactly
the same reasons that we coin new
words to express our ideas Having the
instructive impulse to speak and the
native capacity, the child is forced to
invent language if his environment

much better for the complexion than
any soap or cleansing cream. 1t
beauties the skin instantly, in the
same easy way that milk of magnesia
purifies the stomach. This is because
skin impurities are acid. Doctors treat
acid inside the body with milk of mag

getting amazing results in banishing
complexion faults with creamed mag
