ornithologist Of earlier days and his.
Possibly il Audubon had never painted
the birds OF America Rex Brasher
would not have resolved to make this
his life work. Any work we'll done
flres ambition, but not always does
ambition so fired achieve its end as in
this instance.
In 1873 Rex Brasher determined to
paint all the birds of North America.
His father. Philip Marston Brasher,
amateur ornithologist for whom the
BraSher warbler was named, had
pointed out to his son the historical
value of a complete pictorial refer
| ence of North American birds. In
1929. so years later, Brasher had
accomplished the monumental task
and had produced 874 plates, includ-
Ing l,200 major and sub-species of
birds native to North America. Varia-
tions In coloring according to season.
age and sex brought the total up to
| 5000. Later these were reproduced,
as were Audubon's, in black and white
and colored by hand by the artist.
The limited edition Of 100 sheets in
cluded 10000 such plates. but every
/ one of them came from Mr. Brasher's
! hand. colored with infinite accuracy
and patience.
1t is the original paintings that the
National Geographic Society has set
forth. There are 1853 in number, ac-
cording to the catalogue. in addition
to the II which were used as frontis-
pieces in the limited edition volume.
The magnitude of the work alone is
remarkable. but more marvellous still
is the accuracy and the actual charm
Of the paintings. All apparently are
done on heavy board in gouache-
water color mixed with Chinese white
to give it body. Scientifically his COL
lection is of the utmost value, artistic
ally it is Of very genuine interest
To some extent Brasher holds nearer
to nature than Audubon, who, strange
ly enough, presented his facts in
freer. more decorative style. not taking
liberties with his subject. but allowing
his own personality broader sway.
That there should be this difference
the interest OF the work of each artist.
and evidences the fact that the re-
strictions imposed by science in the
matter of accuracy need not hamper
the recorder if his own artistic instinct
is well founded and keen.

because certain laundries have raised prices giving as excuse the higher pay necessitated by the order.
 When we heard that several companies were raising prices and giving as the reason the minimum wage order, we immediately made a survey to determine how much of a rise was warranted" MT. Tone said.
 Ten typical companies located in various parts of the state, and each employing approximately 25 persons were studied.
 Results of the analysis show that increased pay, occasioned by the wage order, caused total operating costs to rise no more than .055 per cent
 Continuing he stated that house. wife who has been paying $500 for fixed amount of laundry could not "justiflably," because of the wage order, be charged more than "$3.olh or $302 for the same amount of laundry"

 As soon after September 1 as he sees fit, however, the commissioner can make the law mandatory in which case it is enforceable by fines and imprisonment
 MT. Tone said that the analysis which reveals how slightly the wage rise will affect operating costs was made from the laundries' own rec ords and that at least one plant studied had formerly paid some girls only SIS an hour.
 The warning is given, he said. "so that the public will not suffer from an unwarranted price rise"

Cross-stitch pincushion best seller.

THE Town Improvement asso-
= citation was giving a sale to
raise funds in a village where we
were visiting. Our hostess had
been to the sale early in the day
and triumphantly displayed tiny
cross-stitched pincushions pur-
chased for Christmas gifts. They
were so colorful and quaint that
we went in search of some. We
found them, but on every one was
pinned a ticket "SOLD"! The lady
had scored hit who made those
little three-inch pincushions as her
contribution to the fancywork
booth. They were kept for dis
play even after they were sold.
The top of the cushion should
be made on tapestry canvas or
round thread art linen so that the
threads may be counted easily in
making the cross-stitches. This
foundation material should be
marked off in 1-inch squares as
shown in the diagram at the upper
right. The numbers indicate the
color used for cross-stitching each
square. The velvet used for back
ing adds the richness that all
small gifts should have. Sawdust

How to Train
StrdqglY Hairs

Each day brush those harsh stray
ely hairs upward by letting your
head hang down and brush toward
the crown of your head. If you are
not going to business, knot it high
in roll, pin up the ends, and tie a
bandanna around it. That holds it
in place.
Each night before going to bed
apply a scalp pomade or a good
hair tonic along the hairline. Gently
massage it. The rich lubricant will
not only feed the starving tissue
but the rubbing will stimulate
growth.
Don't have your hair cut again
just let it grow. Later on you may
have it shaped, once you determine
which high style you will wear.
Or you may just twist your long hair
into becoming puffs on top of your
head. Many girls are letting their
hair grow long.
AS your hairline grows, attempt to
keep it curled for gala nights with
very small curriers', the iron, or by
twisting it on hairpins. We will all
have to go through the growing
pains unless we have been wise
enough to keep our hairline un-
clipped. During the heart-breaking
stage you might pin false curls over
the ragged ends.

Giver, Time, the Lad
Could Locate Her

The butcher boy was on his way
to deliver an order when he was
accosted by lady who apparently
was seeking someone in the neigh
borhood.
'sYoung man, can you please
tell me which one of these houses
Mrs. Smith lives in?" asked the
stranger.
"Mrs. SMITH" said the youth,
in reply, ''let me see now. 'Tain't

over there, and it amt two pounds
of round steak and juicy-that's
No. 142 round the corner. Hmm!

settled for the next year!" For in
stance, two things will concern the
woman who decides to make this
change in her hair style-How to
keep the back hair-line trim and
appealing, and how to make her
hair stay up just after she has
trained it into long page-boy bob!
Take an honest look at that back
hairline of yours after you have
combed and brushed your hair high
on your head. Not very beautiful,
is it? What can you expect if you
have allowed hair dressers or bar
bers to hack away at it for years?
But you've got to groom it into a
smooth even line and train the hair
to grow softly and naturally upward.
For a time you may use tiny bar
rette or small hairpin to keep it up,
but by late fall it should stay of its
own accord.

Cologne Is Feminine Necessity

Cologne Is Feminine Necessity
Cologne is an extremely refresh
ing body rub and is also luxurious
body deodorant You will find that
an after-bath rundown of cologne
before going to bed will leave love-
ly fragrance clinging to your sheets
in the morning. This makes for the
kind of daintiness that lovely wom-
en- seek-a faint fragrance that
seems to be a part of their per-
sonality, exuding from them as they
move and breathe.
A good brand of cologne, one with
distinctive personality. in its fra

hint at lightheartedness, glitter and
gaiety.
Cologne, by the way, makes a
splendid gift. and for this purpose
several brands are available in
unique bottles as an adornment to

VXIHEN a wife tells all-or

be interesting. Especially if
she is the wife of a famous
actor. In Charles Laughton
and I" Mrs. Laughton, well
known in her own right as
Elsa Manchester, has written
a delightful book which tells
a great deal about herself, more
about her husband, and quite a bit
about other people. And she has
done it cleverly and in the best OF
taste, which is unusual.
Laughton had made success on
the English stage before Hollywood
heard of him; in fact, it took an
appearance on the stage in New
York to make the movie moguls
clamor for him. His performance
in s'The Private Lives of Henry the
Eighth" as Henry" introduced
him to the American public, and
made Americans exclaim in amaze
ment that at last the English mad
turned out a good picture.
