One reason why a lot
of people don't get

because they are al

they aren't interest

going. They would
rather see where they

good eye for Complementary colorS. The
effect is somewhat like that OF an ORR

a little every year and by the time he

At all ages, however, the man wears
only a neckerchief around his neck,

tigation by one of its foreign repre-

Thousands Of these celluloid balls are
now being used in Great Britain to give
buoyancy to racing motor boats. Au-

punctured. the remaining number Keep

The originator Of this idea was the
late Sir Henry SegraVe, British sports

Curls for British Soldiers

Curls, which some Partisan enthu-
siasts are adopting in memory Of the
fashion current at the revolution of
1880, were once insisted upon in the
British army writes columnist In
the Manchester Guardian. When the
Twenty-ninth reglment-now the Wor-
cesters--were stationed at Weymouth
in 1897 an order was issued direct
ing that the hair OF the head was to
be dressed with one curl on each
SIDE" and the effect seems to have
been regarded as so pleasing that 9TH
err regimental commanders followed
suit. Even the Guards did not escape,
for In 1850 the commander OF the
GrenadIers issued On order for officers
and men alike to dress their hair with
"side locks, which may come down SO
as to cover the ears, and must DO
frizzled so as not to blow about"

Pompeii Wears Color
of Its Dav of Ira 0edv

Perhaps 1t is natural that nearly
every tourist who visits the Roman
remains which have been dug out Of
Pompell, dreams of seeing "Pompelian
Red" in all the glory of original de-
sign and color, which modern Pom
peiian hotel balconies have made
popular all over the civilized world.
Except for a chance bit of ancient
mosaic or frescoes on few walls, the
sight of the wonderful carmine is so
rare as to be startling. The prevail
ing color impression of Pompell is the
lava gray which old Vesuvius painted
there at the time of its destruction.
This is the color which shades walls
and streets from the moment you en-
ter the Marine gate, as you wander
past the Temples of Apollo and Jovo
or even enter the House of the Vet
til.
1t is fittlngly so, for whatever our
expectations may have been, the trag-
edy Of that awful day needs gray
draping more than artistic glory of
brighter hues. It is city of ashes,
of marble and stone and the passerby
will, II watchful, not fail to note that
nature with buttercups and convol-
vulus has tried in many gray corner
to beautify the ancient charlot-worn
streets.

Scientists Puzzled by
Erratic Compass Needle

The puzzle Of the devlating compass
needle remains unsolved by scientists
despite all the recent discoveries and
explorations OF the Arctic regions.
In the United States, there is
crooked line beginning just north Of
Savannah, meandering across South
Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee,
Kentucky Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and
passing few miles east of Marquette
into Lake Superior and Canada. This
erratic line, which Is constantly chang.
Ing, is the line of zero decllnatlon.
Anywhere along this line, the compass
points to the true north; everywhere
else In the United States 1t deviatss.
In San Francisco, an article in
Worlds Work relates, the variation Is
IS degrees TO the east. In New York
the variation is to the west, IL de-
grees 10 years ago II was ION de-
grees. A gradual shifting is going on
all over the earth, nowhere uniformly.
A striking example of reversal Of
trend is given in the records OF Bos-
ton. In 1870 the needle in Boston
pointed IL degrees west of north. BY
1885, It had moved back and was only
seven degrees west Then 1t reversed
and now is IA degrees west and still
going.

Average Human Hair

According to one authority, the av-
erage head has about 1000 hairs to
the square inch. As the adult scalp
area is from 95 to 40 square inches,
this gives figure OF $4,000 to 10000
hairs on head. The number varies
according to texture and other fac.
tors, blond hair averaging this higher
number, while red hair averages
about 10000. Women's hair aver.
ages higher than mems. The annual
growth Is estimated at 81 to 8M
Inches and the weight OF hair grown
annually varies from 900 ounce per
square inch on the thinnest-haired
scalp to .05 ounce per square inch on
the densest.

Frenchman's Claim to
Be "Father" of Films

Nobody quite knows who was the
originator Of the cinematograph, and
there are several claimants for the
distinction. Though Americans hold
that Edison was the first Of the film
ers, there is no doubt that a French
man named Louis Anne Augustin lie
Prince actually produced films several
years before Edison.
lie Prince was huge man. He stood
six feet four inches and was broad In
proportion. He came to this country
as young man, and at Leeds, In
1855, he photographed pictures with a
lone-lens camera and also made a pro-
jector. His invention attracted con-
siderable attention, though he was
never able to exploit It commercially,
for he came to an untlmely and mys.
rterious end. On September 10, 1890,
he entered Paris train at Dillon and
was never seen again, His widow al
ways believed he was the victim Of
foul play and that he was bumped
off" by an INSCRIPTIONS gang that
wanted to obtain control of his in
vention.
Leeds citizens firmly uphold the
claims of lie Prince to be the In
ventor of the movies" and he is
honored in the Yorkshire city this
year by a memorial.--London Tit-Bits.

"ThaIer." and "Dollars"

A rich silver mine was discovered
In Joachlmsthal, Bohemia, In 1915, and
in commemoration large number Of
silver coins were struck, having the
effigy OF st. Joachim. These were
called joachImsthalers or thalers,
name that was modified TO dollar
and was applied to other silver coins
Of a similar size. The Spanish dollar
was current In America before the
Revolution and II was natural that
this name should be given to the coin
of the new republic. Various expla-
nations of the dollar sign have been
suggested, but the most plausible one
Is concerned with the design OF the
old Spanish dollar. This bore on one
side n representation of two pillars,
symbolic Of the Pillars Of Hercules.
Our dollar sign shows these pillars
with the ribbon or scroll interlaced.

Great boards lie buried under the
