Bermudians Will Buy
Portrait of Founder

The Bermuda Historical society
has entered into negotiations for
the purchase Of the portrait of the
founder Of the Bermuda colony. Sir
George Somers and his wife. now
In a private collection In England,
according to the Bermudian, the
pictorial magazine Of Bermuda. The
islands were long known as the
Somers Islands, partly in his honor
and partly in description Of the eli

Bermudas. st. Georges, preserves
his Christian name and commemo-
rates the patron saints of England.
Sir George Somers was one of
the EliZabethan sea-dogs who made
England's name feared on the seas
at the close of the Sixteenth CEN

the West Indies. on the third of
which, en- route to the starving
settlement In Virginia, he was ship
wrecked on one of the coral reefs
of Bermuda. Here he built two
ships Of the native cedar, and con-
tinued his voyage, but returned
from jamestown later in the same
year for provisions. He died Of
fever in Bermuda soon after his
second landing on the islands. but
his companions continued to Eng

the sailors Of this vessel that

In Paris the red ribbon of the Le-

to a man named Giroudaux, because
he had been the first person who,

Evasion.

Of other Subjunctives are all evaslons.

impossible to carry on cooperative
enterprise with more than one person:
unless you have agreed upon a set CT

Some of our evaSionS are so denHaCe

why it's always wise, if possible, to get

from wall to wall and the adjoining
dining room may have a rug with hard
wood border on the floor. But this is
not wise where the two rooms open into
one another with wide open doorway
between. Any room which is somewhat
shut off from an adjoining room may
be treated differently from its neighbor,
When two rooms are carpeted or
rugged alike they increase the apparent
size OF the rooms.
A small room is made to appear
larger If carpeting extends from wall
to wall, especially If the carpet pattern
is small.
When a hardwood border extends
beyond the rug it adds just that many
more lines and one more variation in
color which distracts the eye and makes
the room look smaller.

Reducing the Ankles.

~ EAR MISS LEEDS-How can I
reduce my ankles? (2) In
recent article you recommend
H. ed a dry or liquid scalp wash
for oily hair. viii you kindly
repeat the technique Of this shampoo?
80 have been told that daily EPSON
salts bath will reduce overweight Is
this true? MISS L. w. G.
Answer-Reducing exercises for the
ankles are very simple and easy, but
they must be repeated many times in
minutes day to exercise like the fol-
lowing: Frst-Stand erect and raise
and lower the heels 20 to so times. Next,
lower the heels to the floor while
standing with toes on book or brick,
Repeat several times every night and
morning. Second-Do stationary run
ming, lifting your knees very high
at each step. Third-PractiCe skipping
and dancing on your toes. At bedtime,
bathe your ankles and feet in cold
water Dry we'll Apply little rub
bing alcohol and massage the ankles
with a kneading, pinching and slapping
movement. Wear comfortable walking
shoes.
CD For the dry shampoo, first brush
the hair thoroughly and divide 1t into
to apply tonic or the warm oil. Part 1t
in the center and Sub-divide each side
into six or eight parts. Mix together
equal parts of cornmeal, bran and
little powdered camphor or cinnamon
powder Put the mixture in a talcum
powder box with perforated top and
shake a little along the partings and
on the hair, taking care to cover all
the parts. With the first and second
fingers, rub the powder into the hair
and let it remain in for few minutes.
Now brush down each part in the hair
with a long, firm, even stroke. This
will brush the powder through the hair
and take all the grease and dust along
with it. Take care to brush every par
ticle of powder out Polish each strand
of hair with piece of old silk covered
over the hair brush. THIS shampoo
makes the hair beautiful and fluffy.
Another good scalp cleanser for ex-
cessivly oily hair is made of four ounces
witch hazel, two ounces toilet alcohol,
one ounce cologne, one dram powdered
borate of soda and one dram bicarbo-
nate of soda. Mix well. If used two
or three times week it tends to pro-
duce a criSpy condition of the hair.
Shampoo excessively oily hair once
week, using a good liquid soap sham
poo, Rinse we'll and dry. Apply an an
tisepIc scalp tonic. Give the hair and
scalp an air and sun bath daily.
(3l EPSON salts make an excellen,
water softener but it cannot reduce
overweight. The best methods to use
are exercise and suitable diet. Please
send me a self addressed, stamped en-
velope for my leaf1et on reducing, and
give YOUR present weight height and
