on a passerby, knocked off his hat,
and burned it to a crisp. The hat
probably saved the mans life.
The end then dropped on the pave
ment and sputtered its way through
fifteen inches of asphalt and top soil
and then flashed into big gas main,
igniting the gas with roar.
Parents should impress the dangers
Of kite flying upon their children. The
following safety code might be taught:
A good kite filer does not fly his
kite near electric, telephone or trolley
wires, or near high voltage trans
mission towers. He does not use wire
or tinsel twine of any sort. or even
wet string. He does not fly his kite in
thunder storm. He does not use kite
with metal ribs. He does not run across
highways, but flies his kite in open
places away from traffic

Beauty Brevities
bv MARTHA LEAVITT

If you are the oblong- square type
like Norma Shearer, the rouge should
be blended to the prominent part of
the check.
Sylvia Sidney has a somewhat
heart shaped face and she believes in
the importance of using lipstick gen.
erously and keeping the brow line wide
and delicately tapering.
Ifyour eyes narrow when you smile,
arch the eyebrows bit. Patricia Ellis
tries this as one of her pet makeup
quirks.
AS hint to make the eyes seem
larger, a subtle blending of eye
shadow beyond the corners is most
effective. But be skillful about it!
Turn artist yourself when it comes
to using makeup. Then surely your
natural beauty will be enhanced.

DuE kite season is here! 1t Will
bring JOY aplenty to many boys
and girls, but to some others -
In St. Louis there lives a
widowed mother who mourns the
death of two fine boys Dan and Bill
had an especially fine kite, equipped
with strong, light wire kitestring OF
the best quality. They took it out on
an open country road where the only
thing in the way was an overhead
power line.
Children do not generally know that
electricity will travel along thin wires
as we'll as those of greater thickness,
and that if electricity passes through
ones body serious injury may result.
Cotton or linen string also is likely to
be dangerous if it becomes damp, and
the surest way to be safe is to fly
kite only where it cannot come IN
contact with electric lines.
Dan started to fly the kite and a
steady wind carried it far into blue
sky, we'll above the electric lines.
Suddenly the breeze eddied, causing
the kite to dive downward. The wire
kite-string touched the electric wires;
and there was bright blue flash. Dan
was stretched out on the roadside,
unconscious. Bill rushed to his brother
and seized him by the hand, not by
some piece of dry clothing hanging
loose from his body. The contact with
moist flesh made an easy path for the
deadly current and Bill was knocked
unconscious beside his brother. Sew
eral hours later neighbor found their
huddled bodies.
Victims can be removed safely from
wires carrying electric current by US
ing some material which has high
resistance to electricity, such as dry
clothing, dry rope, or dry wood. But
it is foolhardy to touch the flesh of
person in contact with electric wires -
another victim will only be struck
down.
The spring has been set aside for
kite flying, and just as regularly as
spring comes again, there are reports
of kite fliers being seriously injured or
killed. And the victims are usually
little children.
Even when kite accidents do not
cause personal injury they may do
considerable other damage. Wayne
Mahan, age l3, got his kite string
tangled up in a 6O,OOO-volt power line.
The power line short-circrlited, burst

\ %Now your type - then make
II up to it. Though there are
r. many fine points in learning
just how to emphasize your
most attractive features. the art OF
makeup is not vague nor complicated.
The oval contour is pretty well
established as the perfectly shaped
face. With the correct blending OF
rouge and its proper placing you can
change the apparent contour of your
face - change it to appear the per
fectly shaped face.
Look in your mirror and discover
whether your face is really the long
and slender type or the broad, some
what round type.
Stars of the stage and screen know
a thing or two about this subtle art.
They readily admit that they haven't
perfect contours but they study their
features and WELD lipstick, rouge and
powder with deft fingers.
Mary Carlisle. for example, wishes
to give length to her face. Here rouge,
properly blended, does the trick. She
places it a bit downward from the
checkbone and blends toward the
nose. This helps lessen the too round
face.

Horoscope
"The stars incline
but do not compel

SATURDAY, JANUARY %, 1887
This is an unfortunate day in
planetary direction, according to as
trology. The stars create lack Of
confidence in oneself and misjudg-
ment regarding others.
Under this sway it is wise to
clear up neglected tasks and then to
seek recreation. The theatre is rec
commended to dispel tendency to-
ward discomfort and depression.
The stars today carry portents
of continued labor troubles and
are read as warning against pro-
longed conflict of minds. Public
restiveness will be apparent and
dangers are foreseen.
Women should be cautious to-
day where love affairs are involved,
for there will be much preoccupa-
ton which defects men from in
terest in romance.
Weddings today may be only fair
ly happy. because many obstacles
in the way of gaining fortune are
discerned by the seers.
Womens clubs and other organ
izations now will increase and null
tiply. Astrologers prognosticate that
they are to be of supreme public
service in coming months.
Stock markets Wiz engage wide
spread attention and there by
dangerous tendency to speculate.
Warning is given that 1929 should
be remembered.
Mars is read as beneficial to both
the United States and Great Bri-
tain, since the planet encourages
military defense preparations and
encourages closer relations between
the two countries.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of year of some
perplexities in which family con-
nections will be involved. The ma
tional capital is likely to be visited
by certain men and women. Chill
dren born on this day may be en-
dowed with great talent. Subjects
of this sign Of Aquarius have a
strong bent toward the arts.

A typical gypsy wedding, with
feasting, drinking and everything

was held here to join an eighteen
year-old gypsy girl and her four
teen-year cousin in marriage
The bride was Anna Mark, a
bright-eyed, black-haired lass who
was welded to Miller Mark, her
fourteen-year-old cousin. The mar
rage ceremony eliminated two days

It's climax when Anna shook the
tears from her eyes ana, with head
held high, marched into her hus-
bands tent.
The act made the girl a bride &C

Meanwhile, the groom, who seem
ed somewhat dazed by the unusual
amount of attention focused upon
him, went on romping with his
playmates as if nothing had hap
pened.
The youthful bride was sold"
by an uncle to the father of her
husband. Unless the tears which
streamed down her face were tears
of joy-and they didn't gave ap-
proximately 300 spectators to the
unusual ceremony such an impress

For the ceremony, the bride wore

Ryan Fights Labor
lPhiladelnhia Recordl

(Phlladelpna RecOTQl
To Joseph P Ryan, president of the International
Ioneshoremens Association, goes the dubious honor
of having struck harder blow against the labor
movement than any reactionary employer in recent
memory.
When striking seamen and the American-Foreign
Steamship Corporation reached agreement. patched
up their differences and prepared for normal work
Mr. Ryan declared a boycott against the line and re-
fused to let his men load its ships
If the general public gets an Alice-in- Wonderland
view of the seacoast labor situation from this strike
against a-strike, Mr. Ryan Will be
to blame.
Why is Mr.. Ryan boycotting the ships that grant
higher wages to striking seamen? Because the sea-
mems strike is a rank-and-file strike Because 1t
is strike against undemocratic leaders of the unions
union Because if it succeeds, it means overthrow OF
the bureaucracy within the union, and domination OF
the union by rank-and-file elements. Mr.. Ryan and
the old seamenS union leadership eye to eye and
have a community of interest in killing democratic
union movements.
/ The American labor movement knows no worse
setback than this strike against labor success against
a contract satisfactory company and its workers
Mr. Ryans conduct throws new light on charges with
in his union of steam-roller elections, OF failure TO
capitalize victories, of his of the Red scare to
/ fight militant members of his own organization.
