The fact is that nearly all grown people are gossips. Men ai<e right when they say that all women are gossips, and women are equally right v. Ueu they reiort that there is as much gossip iu the smoking car, the bil liard room and the business office as there is in the sewing circle. The one thing that people can never know enough about is what other people are saying. wi.at they are doing, how they got the way they are. And why uot? 'lue world will never come to an eud nor will it cease I to improve as long as lolks are interested iu oue another. The newspapers had a story the other day that Queen Mary was get ting stout. Iu fact, she had taken on flesh so rapidly lately that she had begun to "reduce." Mrs. Lloyd-George had told Queen Mary about some sort of patent chair that oue could sit iu and by applications of electric cur rent lake off several pounds a week. More women read that story than could tell you who were the Four I'owers that signed the Tour-Power Treaty or what the treaty was all about. Men are exactly the same. Let Charles M. Schwab write an article on "Future Trends in American Business" and one man in a hundred will glance over it and one man in a thousand will plow through it! But suppose Mr. Schwab writes an article headed, "Why I Never Hire a Mau With a Small Nose." Every man with a big nose, every man with a little nose, and every man with a plain, average, unimportant nose, if he 1 nows somebody with a small nose, will read what Charley Schwab has to say about noses. That's because there is gossip in the article. We may not all know or care about business trends, world trade and international politics, but wheu .t comes to fat and noses we stand on common ground. Gossip did uot always have a bud name. In Shakespeare's time it wus a pel name, as "pal" or "buddie" is today. It meant your intimate friend, I your pot-companion, the chap wou confided in and who confided iu you. ' Gossip isn't necessarily vicious, nor back-biting. It is just easy, pleas-1 ant. hulf-coniidential chat about people we know or people doing the sort | of things we do every day. It is the gossip quality that make the things interesting that we read or hear. It is the human side of life, which is the ouly side we can all i understand a little. Uueen Mary always carries an umbrella, rain or shine, and lately has had to have her dresses let out at the waist. John D. Rockereller is a Bap tist and wears a wig. President Hardiug plays cards and golf in bis shirt sleeves. Thomas Edisrfh wear shoes so loose he can take them off without touching them with his hands and from collar to socks will not have a tight thing on his body—all that is gossip and is interesting. Old Samuel Pepys' Diary was all gossip. Boswell, who "Life of John-^ son" marks him as the greatest biographer of all literature, did nothing i but gossip and not always with the kindliest motives.—Pub. Auxiliary. DESIKlNti ACCURACY IX \E WSl'APERS, HE SENDS THEM HIS OBITUARY Paris, Sept. 6.—Correctness was a life passion with Dr. Jacques Ber tillon, for thirty years direoor of the statistical bureau of the city of Paris and the uncle of the founder of the Bertillon system, who died four years ago. Especially was he insistent that facts about him or quotations from him published in newspapers should be absolutely precise. He was the more severe on this subject in that he was a former Parisian newspa per man. Editorial desks of local dailies were astonished to receive from Bertillon recently his own "obituary," togeth er with a note in his handwriting "When you receive this 1 shall no longer exist." \\ onderingly several editors tele-1 phoned his home. "Monsieur Bertillon just died-" a! hushed voice told them.

TELLS STORY OF HIS DOWNFALL New York, Auk. 29.—Suddenly aged, broken in spirit and ubed, the victim of a nervous breakdown, Phil Douglas, erstwhile star pitcher of the New York Giants, told the story of his faithfulness In a sobbing re-1 cital. In the course of vhat he Insisted was the true tale with nothing with held. he disclosed the fact, hitherto carefully guarded from the public, that his letter which end*d in his permanent banishment from organ ized baseball, was written to Leslie! Mann, uow of the St. Louis Cardi- j uals, but a firm friend of Douglas' j in Shufiin' Phil's old days with the Chicago Cubs. Hud Won Klcven Games Douglas pitched his last game for the Giants 011 July 30, when he was defeated by the Pittsburgh Pirates, 7-0. giving way for a pinch hitter in! the seventh inning. It was but his' fourth defeat of the the year and he had won 11 games, but that night, according to his own story, he j drowned his troubles, breaking sev-| I en kinds of training rules. While he was sleeping of the ef j fects in the apurtmeut of a friend, he asserts, two detectives broke 'nio j ;he place and attempted to drag him out. He resisted. Threatening to blackjack him, be says, the detec tives dragged him, half dressed, into a taxicab in which were three Jther strong-arm men He was taken to a police station for the purpose of frightening him, he thinks, and then to a sanitarium on Central Park West, where his clothing was taken from him and he was kept prisoner . live days. They Gave Him the Hill When he returned to the Polo grounds he learned he had been ,1n ed $100 and five days' pay (about $1SS> and was presented with a uill of $224.35 for his sanitarium treat ment and taxicab .'are. Angry at Manager McGraw, that same day, he says, he wrote Mann, then in l'os ton with the Cardinals, the letter which Judge Landl& made public in Chicago. That same nluit, after tal- .ng matters over with Mrs. Dourlai, Phil says he telephoned Mann In Kopton, but could not reach him until the following day when he asked fin. to destroy the letter. But Mann al ready had shown the letter to his manager, Branch RicKey, known at. "the Sunday school man of l>a-x ball," and Rickey had convinced Mann the only course to follow vas that of turning over the letter to the New York club management.

The "flapper" who spends hours curling her bobbed locks to make them stand out three or four Inches from her face has nothing on the FIJI Island er, according to a bulletin of the Na tional Geographic society Issued from Its Washington headquarters, for the Fijian makes his hair stand on end on the top of his head to a height of six inches. "The Fijian dandy wears at night a compressing band, which Is probably as uncomfortable as curllng-plns, to train his thick, stiff and wiry bush to this remarkable feat," the bulletin says. "When It becomes long and j erect he takes a looking glass, en- j trusts his scissors to a trusty friend nnd under his personal supervision the mop Is trimmed with wonderful skill Into a ragged halo that stands out in pompous array around his shiny black fnce. "To add to the grotesque Impression, the beau bmmmel bleaches the coif fure to a sickly yellow with lline made from coral or dyes It red with nnnatto. To further enhance his charm he rubs In scented coconut oil and then sticks varieties of red flowers Into It. One traveler reports that his guide turned up one morning with 'his ma hogany bush of hair adorned with two kinds of red flowers, three kinds of white, a bunch of green-and-whlte rib bon-grass and an aigrette of fern.' And when It rained a little later he held a giant taro-leaf about four feet by three over It umbrella-wise for pro tection.

In this cylinder they keep all their pins, needles and small valuables. Near ftie coast on the same Island the women plait the hair In very fine braids which they twist Into thin flat circular colls of from two to two and a half Inches In diameter. TheRp little colls of hair entirely encircle the head, and. strange to say. they (five an decant, though rather singular, appearance.

The black cassowary feather Is the distinguishing ornament of the chiefs, but wearers nre unable to en Joy to the fullest the filg celebrations because of the heaviness of these headdresses. "Among African tribes the methods of halrdresslng are legion. The IVom ba men shave two parallel strips ot wool from the nnpe of the neck around the crown to the forehead. Some of them cut all the hair off, leaving Just a fringe high up on the skull. Others leave Just a »mal! circular tuft at the back "The men near Lake Bangweolo sometimes wear wigs made of coarse matted fiber and the Blsas weave Into wisps of hair fiber or bristles until It haugs down in matted, strlntfike bunches.

'The Bambala people shave their heads except for a little round spot resembling a cap on the top of the head. They then paint the bare por tion with palm oil and soot.

Hoppe has been a credit to the bil liard world and has had much to do with making the game as popular as it is today. His manager, R. B.

That Is not sports manship and should not be tolerated by the public.
