Lightfoot slyly, for he knew that Buster
had stepped aside for Jimmy more than
once.
Buster rubbed his nose thoughfully.
"I am not really afraid of Jimmy. With
him 1t is much the same as IL Is with
you now. am not afraid of you, but q
fight would be with unpleasant results
probably to both of U.s." said he. Il

him, but the results would be unpleaS-

cen No, am not what you would call
afraid Of Jimmy, but want to keep my
self-respect." He grinned.
And there isn't anyone else you
would turn aside for?" asked Lightfoot.

NO one" replied Buster.

a feeling" said Lightfoot, a bit enU-

Lightfoot was coming along that same

was standing up. and there was fire in
his usually gentle eye.
The rafting stopped. Buster looked
at BuzZtatl. He was no longer coiled in
the path. He was gliding into a crevice

Winning Electric Power.

CURRENT CUTS THROUGH.
TN the year 1747 q great event took
place in England. Men gathered
beside the Thames River to test an
electric current.
One man turned an old-time electric
machine which rubbed glass to produce
electricity. The electricity was stored
in an electric jar Then 1t passed from
the jar through a chain into the body
Of man and out again through an
iron rod which he held In the water !
That was wonderful enough, but it
was not the end Of the trial. On the
other side of the river were other men.
One Of them held an iron rod in the
water and picked up the electric cur
rent! Then the current passed through
the mans body and into wire which
he held in his other hand. Men In
three boats held up the wire, and the
current kept on travelling until 1t came
back across the river to the electric
machine
In another test. an electric current
was sent from one side OF river to
the other side. and on the other side 1t
produced a spark which set fire to
brandy which q man held In q cup.
Those who watched said that It took
mo time ut all" for the flame to start
after the electric current was set loose.
When we remember the high speed ct
which electricity travels, we may under
stand why that was said.
Next year, In Chicago, men plan to
start the World Fair with light COM
| ing from q distant star. To do 50, will

top layer they may be touched up with
mascara, special colored pencil or
rinse that will wash off during the
shampoo. When the gray portion has
become long enough, the dyed ends
may be trimmed off and the part in
the hair changed to the other side. so
that the layer of hair that was kept
dyed may be cut out and the old part
covered with new gray hair. II this
dyed hair cannot be spared. it may be
bleached with q suitable chemical. This
method Of handing the transition from
dyed to gray hair keeps the couture
looking presentable at all times, but, of
course, when the time for changing the
part arrives, a very radical and sudden
alteration is made In ones appearance.
One day the coiffure looks all dark and
the next 1t Is entirely gray
A more artistic and gradual way OF
changing from dark to gray or white
is recommended by New York hair
dresser. The aim Of this method is to
make the hair appear as though It were
graying naturally. When hair begins TO
fade 1t usually starts at the temples
and a little above, so these spots are
LETT free from dye, while the rest Of
the hair is touched up at regular in
tervals. When the undyed white hairs
nave grown long one may begin in
creasing the white area by dyeing less
and less of the hair. If the process is
carried out slowly enough the graying
will appear to be natural
When the goal Of an aIl-gray or all
white coiffure has been reached one
must be sure to give the hair the sort
of care that will increase its beauty.
Readers who are interested In the sub
ject may have copies OF my leafiet on
"Shampoos and Rinses" If they will
write for It, and remember to inclose a
stamped, addressed envelope in which
may mail the leaflet. This tells Just
how to wash the hair and how to re-
move the yellow streaks that often mar
its beauty.

Everyday Psychology
What Handwriting Reveals.
By DIR. Jesse W. sPRowLs.

Adt 4AdnuWAltIuS 1kCfCdios
During the past two or three years
several students have made new and
sometimes startling claims about the
revelations Of handwriting.
One student says that handwriting
reveals ones state Of health as well as
ones state Of mind. For example, 1t
Is claimed that q person with heart
disease will often betray that weak
ness by adding extra hourishes to the
loops Of certain letters. This claim
seems to lack support.
Another student says that periods Of
depression such as we are now ex->
periencing on q large scale show up
in our writing. The claim Is that one
writes down hill" when one Is de-
pressed, and the written words are on
the whole smaller and more compact.
This claim also sounds like mere
reasoning by analogy. 1t seems to me-
it would be very hard to prove this,
claim by exact experimental methods.
Here's another point When you
sign your name to document. do you
underscore your signature? If so, you
feel important, asserttve. egotistical. So
it is claimed.
Do you day-dream muchp II 50, you
will tend to draw instead of write.

To keep polished furniture
free from spots, rub with piece
of soft silk saturated with Pc
troleum ointment.
Lemon quarters add color and
flavor when served with spinach.
Bed rooms should be well venti-
lated. If an open window makes
too much of a draft on the bed,
fit a board six or eight inches
high and Just the width of the
window below the lower sash.
This gives a constant exchange
of air between the two sashes,
slightly warming the air as 1t

their hair find 1t hard to make the

1 i but really 1t Is no laughing

We all are ready enough 10 admire
a gray or silvery coiffure on some one

feminine nature to want to keep the

for the personal popularity Of hair dyes.
Yet there comes time to many wom-
