Moreover, they were skeptical in matters of sunzrnormal import., That | Kellar told the story, and Houdini pre- | served it, indicates they yielded consid- | erable credence to it. | It was on a trip around the world that Harry Kellar became closely ac- | quainted with Ling Look, the fire-eater | and_sword swallower, and Yamadura, | his brother, whose specialty was doing cabinet manifestations and rope escapes. | The brothers were not born as their names indicated.

It, was just before they were to sail from Shanghai to Hongkong that Kel- | lar and Yamadura visited a bowling al- ley at The Hermitage, a pleasure re- | sort on the Bubbling Well road. | They watched the bowlers, particu- | larly a sea captain of tremendous strength, who rolled a huge ball as eas- | ily as if it were a pea and made strike | after strike in succession | Yamadura, who prided himself on his | strength, watched the sailor rather en-| viously “I can handle as large a ball as that loafer can,” he told Kellar. Whereupon, seizing one of the largest balls, he rolled it down the alley with all his might. It had no sooner left his hand, how- ever, than he doubled up with pain and models for Pall and eariy Winter. ‘The edition is limited, so we suggest that you order your copy today.

Two marble tablets in of those in the commission were to beededicated. A call was sent out in the commission for all who could sing to be present. So impressed was Aitchison was the voices he heard on that day that he determined to organize his chorus. At first women were included, but it was soon made into an all-male or- ganization. The Interstate Commerce Male Choru under the personal direction of Com missioner Aitchison, is now in its tenth season. ‘Twenty-eight formal concerts have been given since it was started. President and Mrs. Coolidge had them at the White House to sing. Congress invited them to sing at the memorial services this year to its dead. They have been heard in concert at the Li- brary of Congress. They have sung in Washington, Philadelphia, New York and Baltimore Through Aitchison’s friendship with Fra Waedenschweiler, & Pranciscan monk living in Orggon, the chorus has virtually its own composer. “Ecce Quam Bonum,” a majestic piece of music composed by him, is the hymn with which the chorus closes all its concerts. The commissioner’s own composi- tions also are sung by the chorus. Fish Chowder. Saute one-fourth pound of diced fat salt pork in a chowder kettle until a light brown. Remove the pork scraps and cook three small sliced onions in the fat for 5 minutes. Cut 3 pounds pieces, rub with salt and pepper mixed, and add with 6 sliced potatoes and the pork scraps to the kettle. Cover with boiling water and cook for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Add 3 cupfuls of milk and 6 pilot biscuits broken in pleces. Bring to a boil and serve.

The captain of the ship, convinced there was some mistake, ordered the lid of Yamadura's coffin removed. The body gave not the slightest sign of life. Poor Ling Look's interpretation of the strange whistling immediately took a new angle. Weeping, he said to Kellar: “T shall never leave Hongkong alive My brother has called me to join him.” Kellar and every one else tried to re- assure him. It was useless. Strange to say, it was necessary for Ling Look to be operated on in Hongkong. He died under the knife. (Copyright, 1930.)

Helleygs | RICE KRISPIES Middle- Aged Woman Grouches Unwanted DorothyDix | T = not vanity that makes middle-aged women keep the road to the beauty shop hot nor that causes them to starve themselves into anemia trying to preserve a girlish figure, nor that makes them lie about their ages and remain | a stationary 38 for years and years. It is the conviction that once they get into | the forties they are sunk and there is no hope for them. | Now, in reality, what ails the middle-aged woman is neither her age nor | her looks, It is her disposition. After all, a woman’'s birthdays are a purely | personal matter and one in which the balance of the world has little interest. | Nor are we exacting in the matter of beauty. If she is neat and well groomed | and knows how to buy her clothes and is sufficiently pulchritudinous not to make | us cross-eyed when we look at her, it as all that we ask. | But we do require pleasantness of those with whom we are daily associated. | We want jolly people about us, We want smiles and gayety and high spirits. We want those who can take life as it comes and shrug away its little vexations | and disappointments and meet its vicissitudes with a smile, ‘We want those who | can laugh it off, not those who sit down and howl to heaven over every pin | prick. And this the middle-aged woman can seldom do. Taking her by and large, she is the champior complainer of the universe. It is the fact that she is weighted down with woe and not that she has lost her complexion that handicaps her in business. For if a census of office Lotharios could be compiled it would be negligible. Making money and making love cannot be done at one and the same time. Probably not one man in 50 could give an accurate enough description of his secretary to identify her in case she were lost. | What he does notice about her and the thing that makes a hit with him is her spirit, whether she takes thingsin a sportsmanlike way and makes the best of them, whether she is bright and happy and keen about her work or whether she is sour and depressed looking and apparently regards herself as a persecuted martyr for having to work at all. Only too often this is the difference in attitude between the young girl | and the middle-aged woman. And it goes a long way toward explaining | why inefficient youth gets the job instead of experienced age. Men have a constitutional aversion to melancholy ladies and would rather put up with the mistakes of a giggler than listen to the grumbling of an efficiency expert. | A man who employs many women was asked not long ago why he gave | preference to young girls and he replied at once: “It is because middle-aged women complain too much. Nothing ever quite suits them. They complain because our office isn’t run just like some office that they worked in. They complain about their desks and about their | typewriters. They complain about the light and about somebody having a | window open or somebody having it shut. “They complain that the young girls get all the breaks. They complain that some man whom they are under hasn't Chesterfieldian manners and that he keeps his hat on when he dictates to them or he smokes and they | cannot abide tobacco. And if they have a woman superior they complain | of everything she does and doesn't do. | “And middle-aged woman complains of a thousand things and has a | thousand grievances that a girl just takes as part of the day's work ana | never even notices. That is why I employ girls. I have troubles enough of my own without being bothered with my employes.” Nor is this tendency to complain over her lot confined to the middle- | aged business woman, The domestic woman is just as bad. It is the rarest thing in the world to find a woman in the forties who hasn't a secret sorrow that she tells to every one she meets. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1930.)

While it is only | natural for the old hair to fall, it should be replaced by new hair. When | it continues to fall excessively and_is not replaced, there is real cause for | alarm. | The problem of falling hair is quite often one which belongs in the field |of the physician rather than in that of the beauty specialist, for in many | | cases constitutional treatments, as well as local applications, are needed. One | of the most frequent causes is nervous- ness. The hair is sure to become starved unless the blood carries to it | | the proper nourishment, and this is | | impossible unless proper kinds of food | are taken into the bocy. Fresh green | vegetables are essential to hair health. | After making sure that the body | is getting the foods which will give the blood plenty of nourishment to | carry to the hair, the next step is to stimulate the scalp in such a way that it will take the nourishment which the blood is carrying. Hence the im- portance of massage and brushing which stimulate the circulation of the blood through the scalp. To be healthy the scalp needs a aily massage—a massage which makes | the scalp itself move. For the brush- ing use a brush with long, fairly stiff bristles and brush the hair upward and outward to the very ends of the hair. In this method of brushing the scalp is raised, and this exercising of the scalp is the most important result of brushing. | Much has been said about the value of the direct rays of the sun as a cure for falling hair and scalp trou- | bles. That this method is accepted by physicians is evidenced by the fact | that one of thelr most important | treatments for scalp and hair trou- blues is the use of ultra-violet rays.| These treatments not only clear up | certain diseases of the scalp, but they also do much toward building up the general health. Many of my readers complain of | perspiring scalp and this is nearly always accompanied by falling hair and baldness. The cause is an acid | condition of the system and the only | way to correct it is through diet. The following tonic is very good for oily hair, which is falling more rap- two tablespoonfuls | lightly with a fork until the egg is set|idly than it is being replaced by new hair.
