 The citadel of the city. known as the Ark. was captured by Shah Walli after a heavy Lombard dment. Contrary to the reports that Bacha Sakao was still entrenched in the Ark, Madame Viollis pictured him as fleeing from Kabul after the fall of the citadel.
 Sakaos troops, said the cores pondent, had previously attacked the British legation but were repulsed. They demolished part of the city and did much footing during the six preceding days of fighting, but order was completely restored after the arrival of Nadr Khan.
 Nadir Khan entered the city rid ing a charger and preceded by musi- clans. The warriors danced and sang and the people in the streets cheered and hailed him as a liber- ator.

Detroit, Oct. 19 P}-A dynamite bomb placed on a window sill in the rear of the Broadway Strand ! theater, in Broadway near Grand River avenue, wrecked a portion of the theater and smashed windows for block in either direction at 1850 o'clock this morning.
 Excepting for watchmen, the theater and adjoining buildings were deserted. Many guests in hotel across the alley from the theater ran out into the corridors in their night attire.
 The theater management could suggest no reason why the place should be singled out for bombing.

How to Get Fat.

So many Of my readers want TO get
thin, that when receive whole series
Of letters asking how to grow fat I am
always a little astonished. To be sure,
the new styles call for feminine fig-
ure. but we never did manage to iron
ourselves out quite fiat and straight
so it isn't that. Even so, the feminine
figure, revealing curves as it does, must
still reveal slender curves.
About this business of putting on
weight. The first thing to be done
If you have been underweight for years
is to have a doctor examine you. That
advice of mine about giving the stom-
ach rest and flushing out liver and
intestines by few days of almost
liquid diet often is all that is needed to
start a thin woman putting on weight.
For obviously. 1T Is no use overlooking
the stomach with food if the digestive
and the eliminative systems will not
take it.
So 60 on liquid diet of orange juice
and milk. If you are reducing, you
keep down your calorieS then, and Later
you get onto reduction diet. II you
want to put on weight, take orange
juice for breakfast, and at some other

WINTERTIME
BY D. c. rEATTK.

Out in the country along any major
stream you may catch an exciting
glimpse of the belted kingfisher, who
does not respect the fsherman's code of
honor not to fish at the approach of
Spring, but keeps busily at his task
whenever the brooks and rivers are not
absolutely frozen. Some people 60 to
the Zoo to see the lions fed, but king
fisher can furnish an hours entertain
ment quite as readily.
He is a big bird, the kinghsher, often
over foot In length, and specifically
he resembles the bluejay; like the blue
jay, he has rapacious habits, and a cry
that is, II not raucous, at least, very
noisy. His upper parts and crest are
paler than the bluejay's and the under
parts are white. You would hardly
know the mate If you did not see her
with Mr.. Kingfisher, and home duties
keep her close hidden during the season
when birds are conspicuous.
It Is impossible to represent the war
cry of the kingfisher as he swoops to
the surface of the water, seldom missing
his prey. It would resemble the sound
of tin pots rolling down stone steps ex-
cept that through this metallic dis
sonance rings some indescribable must
cal note which brings to mind clear
windy weather, brooks and the Joy Of
the hunt.
It is said that each pair of king
fishers has its own fishing preserves and
will allow no other pair to poach upon
its preserves. The custom Is to fish UP
stream, and then to turn back, at some
unmarked boundary, circling In a wide
arc and alighting at the perch with a
triumphant cry.

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

February IL, 1864" Gross eyed
Davy" Pretzman, who has been brought
to Washington and confined in the
Old Capitol Prison on Capitol Hill, after
being arrested at Hagerstown, Md, was
discovered today to be the same tndi-
vidual who, in company with Jake
Dreamer, Gid Shiery, Ben Gruber and
other notorious characters, left Hagers-
town ut the outbreak of the Civil War.
It seems that they went to Harpers
Ferry and there enlisted as soldiers OF
the Confederate Army.
Several weeks later, for reasons as
yet unknown to the Federal authorities,
Pretzman procured his discharge and
returned to his home in HagerStoWn.
He was arrested, but was released on
taking the oath Of allegiance to the
United States.
Nut after the battle Of Antietam he
was heard to denounce loudly the Fed
eral Government and his words and &C
lions were such that he was arrested
and sent to Fort McHenry. He was
again released, however, upon taking
the oath of allegiance to the United
States.
Nothing more was heard of him until
it was reported that the Confederate
Army was crossing the Potomac River
last Summer, when he was seen to
mount a horse and ride to Williams
port, where he met the Confederate
advance guard and escorted 1t into
Hagerstown. He tried to raise a COM
pany of Marylanders to join the Con-
federate Army under General Lee, but
failed in this attempt and thereupon
enlisted as a private.
He rode through the streets OF the
town flourishing a pistol and vowing
vengeance on all men loyal to the United
States Government.
The fact that he has again been
picked up inside the Union lines is
Is regarded as proof that he is here
with no good purpose" in the opinion
of the military authorities who caused
his arrest.
A large and fashionable audience
attended Miss Laura Keene's first bene-
fit here at the Washington theater on
Eleventh street tonight. The comedy
selected for the occasion was 1.-THE
School for Scandal"
Fifty workmen Of the blacksmith's
department of the Navy Yard are out
on strike today. demanding an increase
in pay from l50 per day to $l.75. A
committee of the men is comforting with
the officers of the yard.

that you have In mind. At least the
dressrnaker's model who displays the
frocks from which you want your copiee
ought to be made to wear tan make
up. That would help little.
In the meantime, if you want to pre-
sent the right color scheme when
Spring and Summer come, you must
manage to get even the Winter sun to
tan your skin as much as possible.
It is not enough to select tones that
are becoming to a tanned skin-they
must accentuate 1t as well. Many vivid
shades are becoming to tans, but the
pastel tones of the sort that have been
presented for the coming Spring and
Summer have the faculty Of deepening
the apparent tone of tan. Certain
shades of mauve are charming Tor the
girl whose tanned skin shows CLINT
of gold. There are soft dull blues
that are better for the girl whose tan
is of a slightly rosy shade. For eve
ming these shades in chiffon and other
transparent materials are especially at
tractive. Grays of a yellowish cast
combine well with tanned skin-hence
the importance Of putty and gregg and
other shades of gray that incline to-
ward yellow.
From a small piece of coarse curtain
scrim and a skein of mercerized en-
broidery twist you can make most
effective little collars and cuffs to give
the new lingerie touch to silk or wooden
frocks and blouses. If you would ike
to know how to make these little &C
cessories, just send me a stamped, SELL
addressed envelope and I will gladly
send YOU the illustrated circular at
once, without charge.

Everyday Psychology
BY DR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
The Criminal.

Fifty years or more ago Lombroso.
the great italian crimonologist, brought
forth a long-hoped-for theory. He pro-
posed that criminals could be designated
by certain physical characteristics
shape of head, ears, jaw, etc. The
theory was, of course, exploded In due
time, at least so far as any practicable
knowledge of criminals is concerned
Lombroso's theory couldn't find place
among the exact sciences.
Twenty-Five years ago the criminal
was guessed at indirectly through the
work of Binet, the French psychologist.
Binet started out to determine mental
deficiency by the aid Of psychological
tests. Those psychologists who were
interested in ascertaining the ear
marks" Of criminal gave Binet's tests
an enthusiastic reception. After play
ing with these tests q while they came
out with the startling intelligence that
the majority of criminals were feeble
minded persons. According to one sum-
mary, 90 per cent Of the convicts so
examined were found to be deficient
mentally in some degree.
During the late World War the feeble
minded theory suffered setback. At
Fort Leavenworth, where perpetrators
of important crimes were confined, it
was discovered that the prisoners
ranked in intelligence with the average
citizen outside. The conscientious OBJ
jectors ranked above the average.
AS matters stand today there Is no
reliable physical or valid psychological
test for criminal traits. A criminal may
be feeble minded, consequently he Is
unable to adjust himself to society. On
the other hand, he may possess .
superior intellect, consequently he Is
unwilling to adjust himself to his
surroundings.

Answer-(D A figure like yours is
the natural result of incorrect posture.
This, in turn, may be due to a real
physical weakness or, more commonly,
to lazy habits. Wearing high-heeled
shoes also causes defects of figure like
yours. Underweight and poor muscle

your case. At any rate, you must learn
