trainer, after he has gone 200 yards or more

chances are they will overrun the end of the

something is wrong, but not just what. The

was coming.
Afterward the engineer said that he
had noticed couple of f1ocks of In

track and he just wondered where they

After that the survivors of this par

this same psychological theory is still

it has been definitely proved.
Concerning the point in question,
science has discovered that no one

transform you overnight. Besides, ex-
ternal treatments may be only half the
battle. Perhaps change in diet may
be necessary to improve the texture of
your skin, or greater amount of sleep,
fresh air, exercise and outdoor activity.
If your skin doesn't respond to simple
cleanliness and home treatments, the
trouble is likely to be more than skin
deep and you will need a physicians
advice before you succeed in your quest
for beauty. Remember, however, that
tanning and mild sunburn are helpful
to such skin conditions, as well as reg
ular exercise and local treatments, and
these are all still available through the

Clear Your Skin.
ATHING suits and low-necked

~ ATHING suits and low-necked
- Summer dresses during the last
few months have given us all
J - an opportunity to size up our
beauty assets and liabilities
And, alas, many whose figures were 100
per cent perfect In q bathing suit
realized that this advantage was almost
completely offset by blemished skin.
Before cold weather comes you have
an excellent chance to clear your skin
and by continuing the treatment
throughout the Winter you will be able
to wear evening dress with free mind.
Rough, scaly elbows, discolored patches
Of skin, pimples, blackheads and goose
flesh will all yield to right treatment.
You can put in good amount of
groundwork when you take your daily
bath, for cleanliness is the foundation
of true skin beauty. Use either a bath
brush or rought cloth and scrub
a good lather Of soap over the surface
Of your skin. Make the scrubbing Wig
orous enough to stimulate as well as
to cleanse the skin. A long-handled
bath brush will help you TO get at
your back, but q turkish towel well
SOaped, makes a satisfactory back
washer if grasped at both ends and
drawn to and fro across the back and
shoulders.
Stand under the cold shower on your
toes for moment or so, or splash
handfuls Of cold water over your body.
Although warm water relaxes and helps
to work up cleansing lather of suds,
there is nothing like a cold shower or
a good patting with cold water over
the body to impart an attractive,
healthy glow to the skin. After you
have given yourself brisk rundown
and dried the skin thoroughly, soothe
any blemiShed areas with some form of
reliable lotion, cream or salve.
For example. If your back and shoul-
ders are inclined to break out into
pimples, amply a little acne salve or
lotion, after the thorough cleansing.

piled nightly for several weeks: One

Ages, it was common for the crowns Of
kings to be little more than circles of
gold; but as time passed monarchs in
Europe fell into the custom Of wearing
crowns studded with many jewels.
It Is believed that Queen Victoria
wore the most costly crown ever pre-
pared for a monarch. Her crown con-
tanned a ruby as large as hens egg,
diamond Of 309 carats, 2,783 other
diamonds, II emeralds, 16 sapphires
