Generally Found Behind the Com- munity Haystack. Each village house itself seems but » mass of willow switches, wattled together, the {interstices being then chinked in and about with mud, so that the place resembles nothing so much tse the Dahomey villages of World’s Fair times, says The Chris- tlan Herald. Along the road, beheath the locusts, rise high walls of it, hid- ing the vards behind as Turkish wo- men were wont to screen their faces from the masculine gaze. From the street wall other fences run back to the meadows, to inclose a yurd. Passing through the fence, one will see the home, usually the bare, brown mud walls slone, but occasionally coated over with a whitewash of slightly blue tinge, and now and then boasting a portico, on which repose old sheepskin coats, green peppers cats and the great troop of village dogs, the scavengers of the highway. Inside the homes. poverty is every- where manifest. The floors are of earth, on which the family go about barefoot in order to save the costly shoes, The oven Is of earth; the bed is a plank, set against the wall; and the artistic is supplied by a single cheap iron. Opulent peasants may 80 80 far as to cover their walls with 2 cheap cloth, which gives a decidedly pretty effect, but they are ihe excep- tions.

"THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1918 $6,000 Suit Started Wednesday |BEAUT Action is Brought for Damages to Touring Car Owned by Dudley St. Claire Donnelly—Accident Occurred Near Tannery in Greeneville—Mrs. Donnelly Was on Stand When Court Went Out for the Day.

This was a claim for $600 in- surance on the life of Justin Holden, Jr,, who died a few months ago. ‘When the Donnelly-Prat{ automobile case was called up the lawyers re- quested time to imparl but they could not agree and the case was started. George E. Pitcher, civil engineer, oc- cupied a goed part of the session ex- plaining a large plan of the scene of the accident and also exhibited photo- graphs of tho vicinity. Witnesses teard included Charles D. Gallup and Frederick Fuller and Mrs. Donnelly was on the stand when court went out. SOLUTION OF THE GLARING HEADLIGHT EVIL Society of Astomobile Engineers Getting After Auto Drivers. ‘It is safe to say that the practical solution of the headlight problem is near at hand, judging from the find- ings of the committee of the Society of Automobile Engineers, which has had the subject in hand for some time past.” Reports from A. A. A. clubs throughout the country indicated drastic legislative action in several states unless some concrete solution was put forward by the motor car owners,” says Fresident Rowe of the American Automobile Association, “and this caused our legislative board chairman to call upon the Society of Automobile Engineers to give the headlight problem the right of way over other questions upon which it is at work. Chairman Yellott will draft a model Blll as soon as the en- gineers complete their report and the me asure will then be available, for introduction in the states which are threatened with undigested regulation. “The automobile manufacturers have put the situation up to the lamp makers who, through their assocja- tion, are co-operating with the so- clety, which is so near a solution that a report is promised before the first of the new year, when many of the state législatures begin to assemble. Not a few fairly satisfactory devices for glare elimination Rave been put on the market ard have found the ap- proval of the officials entrusted with law enforcement in several states. Un- fortunately on many cars the devices not only eliminate the glare but also smother the light to such an extent that the road is not sufficiently illu- minated.” FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS' FRANCE MUST FACE By the End of the Year Total Will be 64 Billion Francs. Parls, Nov. 7—"France will have spent or incurred obligations to the amount of 64 billion francs at the end of this year, including all disburse- ments for carrying on the war and for all usual government expenses since August 1, 1914, says Jules iSegfried, deputy for Havre, former minister of commerce and intimate political and personal friend of Premier Briand. “That total,” he adds, “includes all appropriations made to meet antici- pated_obligations of every sort to the end of 1916. At that date France will have raised in_cash 54 billion francs in round numbers, exclusive of the proceeds of the second war loan. “Twelve billion francs will, then, be the debit balance the government must meet at the besinning of the new year, figured arbitrarily on the basis of the appropriations; it must be remem- bered, however, that money appropri- ated js not necessarily money spent, and the actual balance may he consid- Auditor’s Report On Water Department Accounts Auditor Martin E.

SAVE YOUR HAIR! DANDRUFF DISAPPEARS AND HAIR STOPS COMING OUT. Immediate?—Yes! Certain?—that's the joy of it. Your hair becomes light, wavy, fluffy, abundant and ap- pears as lustrous and beautiful as a ye girls after an application of Danderine. Also try this—moisten a cloth with a little Danderine and care- fully draw it through your halir, taking one small strand at a time. This will cleanse the hair of dust, dirt or exces- sive oil, and in Jjust a few moments you have doubled the beauty of your hair. A delightful surprise awaits those whose has been neglected or is scraggy, faded, dry, brittle or thin. Besides beautifying’ the hair, Danderine dissolves every particle of dandruff; cleanses, purifies and invig- orates the scalp, forever stopping itch- ing and falling hair, but what will please you most will be after a few week's use, when you see new hair— fine and downy at first—yes—but real- 1y new hair growing all over the scalp. Danderine is to the hair what fresh showers of rain and sunshine are to vegetation. It goes right to the roots, invigorgtes and strengthens them. Its exhilaiting, stimulating and life-pro- ducing properties cause the hair to grow long, strong and beautiful. You can surely have pretty, charm- ing, lustrous hair, and lots of it, if you will just get a 25-cent bottle of Knowlton’s Danderine from any drug store or tollet counter and try it as Girected. erably less. “The following. table shows where the minister of finance got the mon- ey: Francs crdinary- treasury Tecelpts ...... .e.. ....

Siesfried, “ig that it is known to ‘a mathemati- cal certainty, which is not the-case with the central empires.” M. Siegfried is not at all concerned as to how France is going to meet the balance or future charges that she may incur in the war. The general supposition is that the second war loan will clean everything up and per- mit the country to start the year 1917 with a clear balance sheet, and this seems to be his opinion. It is t economic situation that the wa penditures will have created afterethe war that he is mostly occupied with. “It is essential that France be p vided with new economic orgzani tions capable of giving greater activ to national energies,” he says, “anc those organizations must be supported by the state.” M. Siegfried proposes the creation of a stock company with an initial capi- tal of 100,000,000 francs to besin im- mediately after the cessation of hos- tilities the development of industries such as the country will need the ww,st; in other words to contimue after v~ the war, under the auspices of the 2 ernment, just what the governmc has been doing during the war : as_the circumstances have permitted. Chemical works, leather manufactor- ies and toy factorles come next in or- der. A necessary adjunct of this semi- offictal industrial corporation, M. Sieg fried says, will be a Bank of Com merce and Exportations for the counting of drafts drawn at months or longer by French exporters. In this way French manufacturers will be enabled to meet German competi- tion in its favorite recourse to long credits as an attraction to foreign business. » New ‘National Monument in Alaska.

The fact tnat the lage was occupled by the Indians many years explains the local me °‘Old” Kassan, by which it widely known. Since the village was abandoned by the Indians the buildings have been rapidiy falling into a state of dilap- idation and decay, and a certain ount of vandalism by tourists and couvenir hunters renders some form of protection essential. An examina- tion of the area was made Jointly by representatives of the Forest Service d of Interior Department, and reports strongly urging the establish- ment of a National Monument were approved by the secretaries of both' deportments. The Smitheonian Insti tution strongly endorsed the proposi: tion for the establishment of a Na- is tional Monument. The new National OMonument will be protected and ad- mihistered by the Forest Service, as is the case with all monuments located within the National Forests. To Quickly Remove Ugly Hairs From Face (Beauty Notes) Beauty-destroying hairz are soon banished from the skin with the aid of a delatone paste, made by mixing some water with a little plain powdered delatone. This is spread upon the hairy surface for 2 or 3 minutes, then rubbed off and the skin washed to re- move the remaining delatone. This simple treatment banishes every trace 10{ bair and leaves the skin without a blemish. Caution should be used ta be certain that it is delatcne you buy.
