Two new types of face have been (discovered among American society! women by Rev Zed Copp, a Washing ton minister and sociologist. They are those of the bridge whist fiend and the cocktail drinker. Mr Copp says these new types are a distinct degeneration from the ortho dox American beauty. "The bridge whist fiend's face is as suming hard lines usually found in the professional gambler's face," he said the other night. "Many pretty young women are losing all their tender, soft beauty by leaning over the gambling table until the early hours of morn ing. "The cocktail drinker's type of face ,|s more repulsive than that of the gamblers. The former has a drooping lower lip, bloodshot eyes and a slov enly languid expression. Sweet cock tails are the bane of fashionable wom- en." Women, especially young girls here, are rapidly becoming more addicted to Intoxicating liquor, while the men are rapidly growing more abstemious, ac cording to Albert E. Shoemaker, at torney for the Anti-Saloon league o! the District of Columbia. Insanity seizes upon the bachelor with greater ease than upon the bene dict, according to the report of the government hospital for the insane. Just submitted to Secretary of the In terior Fisher. CLEARS CAPITAL OF CATS Edict Against "Strays" Costs Lives of 3,078, and Residents Sleep in Peace. Washington is no place for cats. fThe death rate Is in excess of 22 a day and going up. It is due to the fact that the com* misaioners of the District of Columbia on July 1 issued an edict for the mas sacre of all cats not belonging to the "aristocracy**that is, not having a regular place to eat and sleep. The poundmaster abandoned for the time being his crusade against stray dogs and started after the cats in a way to strike terror to the feline heart. Since July 1 the casualties have been 3,078. Residents of the city have begun to accumulate an unusual quantity of old shoes. It is no fun getting out of bed in the middle of the night and shying a shoe at a back fence when there is no serenading cat on the fence If the poundmaster keeps up his activity much longer a cat will be as hard to find in Washington as a polar bear in the tropics. The commissioners say they will not show any mercy. The edict stands. Cats are to be arrested, brought be fore a drumhead court and summarily put to death as fast as they can be caught. If the reports that come in from the outlying districts can be credited, some of the terror-stricken cats have taken to the woods. They seem to prefer being wild cats to being dead cats Guest Towels. A clever way of introducing color into the dainty guest towel has been evolved by a woman who is always originating fascinating ideas. Want ing more distinctive coloring than that given by means of a cross-stitch de sign, she mak^s the hems of the huck towel of a plain linen, harmonizing in sliade with the cross stitching The towel has several threads drawn across either end about a quarter of an inch from the cut edge this is hem-stitched Two pieces of linen a trifle more than two inches in width and just a little longer than the width of the towel are cut. These are to make false hems. To make these, turn the ends in and hem very care fully, so the pieces will be the exact length that the towel is wide. Next, turn the linen in along either of the long edges just the width of a hem. Now slip the rough cut ends of the towel between the folded hems, baste carefully and then hem into position. When finished the ends will be so deftr ly placed that it will require close in spection to see just how the colored hems have been accomplished. Primitive Wheat. All cultivated plants have their "an- cestors" which remain in a savage state. The greater part of our vege tables and fruit trees come from Per sia, where they yet have representa tives that grow spontaneously. All potatoes come from one tubercle. The grapevine grew originally only on the) plateaus of Central Asia. Wheat ori ginated probably In the valley of the Euphrates, where the necessary hu midity first semed to work on plant life most favorably. A traveler, who recently visited the highland of Gall* lee, reports that he has found a wild wheat that must be the progenitor of the modern wheat. This wild wheat covers extensive areas and is a vigor* ous plant with marked nutritive prop* erties. It seems proof against drought pr frost and adapts itself easily to arid soil Harper's Weekly Relic Ordered Sold.

GOOD AND BAD ATHLETICS Authority Gives a List of Those Which She Advises Girls to Give Up or Avoid. Miss Elizabeth Burchenal, inspector pf athletics for the board of education of New York city, who recently made a study of athletics for girls, with the object of determining what kind of athletics are really helpful to girls, and what kirad harmful, has inter viewed forty women, all graduates of physical training schools and all of xvbom have had either practical expe rience in athletics or else oportunitiea ot observation As a result of their statements and of her own experience she has listed as condemned athletics for mature girls the broad jump, the high jump in competition and pole \aulting, and as doubtful for the mat* ture girl the high jump, running more than 100 yards in competition and weight throwing. For the immature girl the condemned athletics are run ning more than 100 yards, pole vault ing and weight throwing, and the doubtful athletics are basket ball and field hockey. The safe athletics for mature girls Include, according to Miss Borchenal's Investigation, archery, ball throwing, basket ball (women's rules), climbing, coasting, dancing, field hockey, golf, horseback riding, cross and side sad dle, indoor baseball which is played In the open air, low hurdles not in com petition skating, skiing, snowshoeing, swimming, tennis and walking As especially beneficial for the ma ture girl Miss Murchenal lists climb ing, dancing, jumping, in moderation running, In moderation, and not in competition skating, swimming and walking Child's Pitiful Attempt to Die. A remarkable attempt at suicide was made by a boy of eleven in a hop garden, recently near Sandwich, Eng land. He had been chastised for bis slackness in picking hops, and there upon ha want to a secluded spot and attempted to hang himself with a piece of yarn used for tying hops. Fortunately the lad was discovered in timet sad was cut down, and revived. 3i6'318 Minnesota Ave NOT MUCH REAL DIFFERENCE Mr. Tobe Snagg Discourses Pleasant ly on Subject of City and Village Society Gcssip. "I fail to observe any great differ- ence," remarked Mr. Tobe Snagg, "be- tween the 'Gossip of Society' notes in the city papers and the 'Purely Person al' items in thp Goshkononk Gazette. Of course, them rich people have long er names and travel farther than ns bumble Goshkononjdans, but, after all, vhen I read that Mr and Mrs Theo bild Postlethwait Golden Gawbs and their son, T. Livermore Golden-Gawbs, have returned from motoring on the continent, whilo their daughter, Lorda Watt Golden-Gawbs, will remain in Italy, sketching the old masters, I can't see that intrinsically it differs much from the simple statements in the Gazette that Miss Gladys Frurnp Sun flayed at Whillerville with Apra Hen sion and Ralph Slicer, our popular bar ker, Mondayed In Hunkayunk, and Dab Socker Tuesdayed In Turgldtown at the home of his widowed sister whose husband suicided two months ago after arsoning the lumber yard All the parties concerned probably did all the gadding they could afford, and in any case not a soul in the livin' wrorld beyond the persons mentioned was in the slightest degree interested in the recital." Searching for Hidden Will. The romantic story of a hidden will Is arousing keen interest in the neigh borhood of Bradley Fold a little vil lage three miles from Bolton, Lanca shire, England. Search for the mis sing document is being made by a woman from Gunnersbury, London. She believes that if she succeeds in her quest, she will become entitled to a valuable estate The search was prompted originally by statements made by a medium at a spiritualistic seance. The will is supposed to be concealed in a wall sunk in a shed which has been bricked up for many years. It formed a cellar to- an old house. The London searcher's ances tor, John Bradley, who married his housekeeper, was known to possess great wealth No will could be found after his death.

Made First Lightning rtod. Nearly everybody believes that Ben* jamin Franklin was the inventor and constructor of the first lightning rod. In this particular they are mistaken, as the first lightning catcher was in vented by a poor monk of Bohemia, who put up the first lightning rod on the palace of the curator of Preditz, Moravia, June 15, 1754 The apparatus was composed of a pole surmounted by an iron rod, supporting 12 curved branches and terminating in as many metallic boxes filled with iron ore. The entire system of wires was uni ted to the earth by a large chain. The enemies of the Inventor, jealous of his success, excited the peasants of the lo cality against him and under the pre text that his lightning rod was the cause of the excessive dry weather had the rod taken down and the in ventor imprisoned. Value of Travel. Goethe says that no man has a right to write until he has traveled and lived. Certainly no one has a right to think he knows what life offers or what earth can give until he travels. Travel does more toward letting us go free of our human limitations than anything else in life. It frees us by giving us large views, a wide sense of opportunity, a fuller comprehension of the lavish hand which has strewn beauty over the earth. Above all, travel numbs grief be cause it lifts us from the personal in to the universal life, the life trium phant, whatever be the fate of the fragment called one's self.Harper's Bazar.
