Again you claim there are no pores in

Answer. What you see in the skin is
not pores, but the orifices of sebaceouS
(oiD and sweat gland ducts. They are
sometimes dilated and filled with sebum
(skin OLD and debris But these OPEN
ings are outlets and never in any cir

Sowing Your Dividends.

A few women have complained to us
that somehow they always seem to dis
sipate their dividends and interest
coupons. They have asked us for a
way in which they may conserve their
returns and reinvest them.
This is probably matter that con-
fronts all woman investors who are not
dependent for income on their invest
ments, or who do not receive a sufficient
return on them to be independent
Possibly one of the best things to do
with such income Is to place it where

MEMS and Women's Conscia Recti."
X X X
An insurance man tells this one:
"a German who owned a very small
house a number of years ago had
effected insurance on it of $4,000, al
though it had been built for less. The
house burned down one night and the
victim then claimed the full amount
for which it had been insured: but the
officers of the company refused to pay
more than its actual value-about
$4,000.
The German expressed his diSSatis-
faction in powerful broken English, in
including some Teutonic oaths.
If you wish it. said one of the Off
GERS OF the company. we will build you
house larger and better than the one
burned down, as we are positive it can
be done for even less than $4,000
ITO this proposition, the German OBJ
Jected. and at last was compelled to
take the $4,000. Some weeks after he
received the money, he was called upon
by the same agent, who wanted him to
take out policy of life insurance on
himself or on his wife.
" If you take out an insurance policy
for. say. $4,000 said the agent, and
she should die, you will at least be pro-
tected against an emergency
No. exclaimed the German, you
insurance fellows is all tiefs! If 1 in
sure my wife and my wife dies, and If
I go to de insurance Office to get my
$4,000, do I get all de money? No, not
quite. You will say to me, she wasn't
worth $4,000; she was worth bout 5000.

New Shades Which Are Becoming
BY MARY MARSHALL.

The color problem for us all to solve
win not be to wear some one or two
new-and usually trying-colors IS eff
fectively as possible, but to flnd from
among the many new shades offered TO
us those that are most becoming and
most appropriate for the type OF dress
in question.
For beach wear at the Winter resorts
there are vibrant tones of the sort that
appear to best advantage under bright
sunlight. Also there are very, very
light pastels-tones so light as TO be
almost off-white. For resort wear gen.
orally and for Spring everywhere there
are lovely tones of duller sort-sligit-
ly grayed tones of blue, rose and green.
And gray is decidedly smart. Bots de
rose-which Is a lovely beige with a
rose cast-has been revived, and the
maybe combination of black and white
has been used in many Of the smartest
new ensembles.
If you buy suit or ensemble for very
early Spring wear in town the best plan
is to choose a dark color-black, navy
blue or even brown. Lighter tones may
be added by way Of separate blouse and
accessories.
This weeks help for the home dress
maker consists of directions for making
an artificial flower from tulle or chiffon
and fine wire. One large flower of this
sort or two or three smaller flowers
make a charming decoration for an
evening or afternoon dress. If you

There is no criticism of the outstanding Danielson boxer, however. but the performance of the New Bedford pugilist made a real fight impossible.

In the first round Carney dropped to his knee. It look ed as fl he had quit. The referee was about to award the bout to Dynamite but the Danielson boy wanted more. Carney claimed he slipped and the referee decided to give him a chance to redeem himself Through several more listless rounds the stars of the evening battled. with Carney taking more or less punishment as he tried to keep out of thc way.

 TO BRING OUT AMATEURS

Louis Peioouin. father of the box CT, Rene Peloquin. Is to revive anna teur boxing in Danielson. The sport flourished in Putnam with greater or less success for several years under the auspices of the Putnam Sporting Club but was abandoned two years ago. Peloquin promoted the two re- cent professional shows in Danielson with remarkable success. He feels that there IS widespread demand to see the amateurs in action. There are a good number of boys anxious to have trvouts and this will afford them an opportunity. The amateur ranks is used as a stepping stone to the ranks of the pros and many of the boys who were fighting for watch es and for glory a few years ago are now accepting some attractive purses filled with cash. It is expected that the amateurs will be given their frst opportunity about the middle oi March.
