The Once Over
THE SKIN SHE LvoEs TO BURN

Copyright, 1880, by The Associated Newspapers)
Have you seen those ladies' bathing suits for 1880
as revealed In store windows displaying smart styles
for southern winter resort wear2 Boys. there's human
apparel reduced to its lowest common denominator!
The new suits are enough to make the bathing
beach censor of year before last develop acute palpi-
tations of the upper eyelids and send out S. o. S.
signals for the army and navy.
Suits isn't the word They are really saltwater
camisoles. You know what a camisole is: a bib
with silk straps.
The ultra smart bathing garment for 1880 is most
ly straps. The only difference between a girl in a
bathtub and a girl on the Palm Beach sands this
winter Is going to be that the girl in the tub will
have more privacy.
sun-tan, what indiscretions are committed in thy
name!
The complete tan is what the modern bathing
beauty is seeking and If she doesn't get IT this year
it won't be the designers fault. To paraphrase
Gunga Din:
The bathing garb she wore was nothing much
And rather less than arr Of that behind.

Even the wooden dummies in the department store
windows look embarrassed. When a girl gets into her
bathing garment this winter all she is going to need
to Guido Lady Godiva is q horse.
sss
Godiya rode down the main streets Of her native
CITY with her long hair covering her like a raccoon
coat. Not even her hard-nearted husband would
have allowed her TO ride horseback before the public
with as little on as the bathing beauty OF 1880 VIII
wear.
The craze for tan Is responsible. For centuries wo-
men lodged the suns rays. They used to be AFRAID
they would get burned. Today they are afraid they
won't. The modern girls idea Of that schoolgirl
complexion is something between Hottentot brown
and lampblack.
And she doesn't believe In skimping. she peheVes
every vertebra's place is in the sun.
And this year the bathing-suit makers are with
her to a man. It looks as If the designers had eA-

THE EINSTEIN THEORY
BY ARTHUR DEV. CARPENTER

School boys, grown-ups, persons
educated and uneducated, often ask
the writer TO give them some idea
OF Einstein's theory OF Relatively.
The best definition of the theory we
have ever seen. was made by Bolton:
General Relatively is the theory OF
the statement Of general physical
laws in forms common 70 all OBJ
servers" The mathematical formu-
las derived shall be"universally true
for all conditions Of space and mat
ter and motion" That is, they would
hold true whether observed from the
center Of the Sun; far out in outer
space; or from a swiftly moving
planet. Live with above definition

English Poets Laureate

The origin Of the poet laureate
of England is involved in Obscur-
fly. In early days the word Tau
reate" came to mean In English
eminent 1t was thus generally,
although not always. applied in a
literary sense. Medieval kings had
poets or Ministries attached to their
households, who received pensions.
although their appointment was not
official. In this way Ben Jons0n
was looked upon as the first laure-
ate, but the title seems never to
have been really conferred on him.
John Dryden was the first English
poet to receive the title by letters

post became regular institution.

number of varieties from August

first of the year, says Nature Mag
azine. The tree, clean and rather
attractive. often growing to be
from 30 to so feet high, Is native
of Mexico, Central America and
the mountains of Colombia. Thus,
there are three main branches OF
the family, but the common, or
West Indian avocado, extensively
grown In south Florida, Is the most
tropical and bears the largest
fruit. This fruit is covered with
a leathery skin, which, when ripe,
is green or, in some instances, a
shade toward purple. H.

Liberty Cap

In early Roman times, only free
men were permitted to wear caps
When slave was manumftted, q
small cap, usually of red felt, was
placed on his HEAD, and his name
was registered In the city's tribes.
Several Roman commanders hoist
ed such caps on spears to Indicate
that all slaves who Joined them
should be free; and when Caesar
was murdered, the conspirators
marched forth In q body, with a
cap elevated on q spear, In token Of
liberty.
In the French revolution. the lib
erty cap was adopted by the revo-
lutionists as q badge Of their
freedom.

Eliminating Ground Ivy

A simple and effective remedy Tor
ground ivy on lawns has been
found. This consists Of a spray
ing with sodium chlorate, using
one or two ounces per gallon Of wa
ter, and that quantity of solution
is sufficient to cover 100 square feet,
providing q pressure sprayer Ii
used. If applied with a sprinkling
can, a trifle more solution will be
needed, as that method Of applica-
tion is somewhat wasteful OF mate
rial. The leaves should be thor
oughly covered. The spray can
be applied any time during the
summer or fall. Since the spray
discolors the grass for short time,
1t is perhaps best to defer appli-
cation until late In fall. -s.

UPPER COLUMBIA
TO BEAR FREIGHT
Plan to Extend Service
from Portland to Lewiston
Preliminary Study Made

River boat service on the upper
Columbia as far as navigation IS
now possible, probably to Lewiston,
Idaho, will be inaugurated in the
near future, it developed at the
meeting in Portland this week OF
the Columbia Valley association.
Colonel G.. r. Lukesh, federal dis
trict engineer, told the association
reports of preliminary survey
from the mouth of the Willamette
river to Lewiston will be available
bv June /. This report will in
volve channel conditions, available
tonnage, development of roads to
prospective terminals, types OF
looats required and loading facll-
tiles required.
Association leaders predict that
certain large shipping interests
which have declared themselves IN
terested in plans to reestabilsn
navigation on the upper river would
be ready to discuss definitely the
placing of boats on the river as
soon as this survey is completed
and the facts made available.
The association went on record
as favoring the best possible nav
igation on the river now, with I'M
provements as fast as obtainable,
leading UP to canalization at an
early date Colonel Lukesh sug-
gestion that the facilities now
available for river transportation
be utilized. The district engineer
discussed at length the extensive
studies already completed by the
army engineers and which will
eventually extend from the rivers
south mouth to the Canadian Dor
der. He said the full report should
be ready by the first of July, 1881.
