EARLY HISTORY
OF POLYNESIA
British Scientist Studying
the Ruins to Learn Some
thing of Race.
Papeete, Tahiti, Sept. 14. Who the
i people wero who erected the massive
! walla, fortifications and platforms to
:ti found on vddcly separated islands
all tnrouarh the South Seas still remains !
a mystery.
For the pat 18 months a represen
tative of the British Museum has been
studying: tho missive stone structnres
on Easter Island. Ho is now on his
way to Rapa to investigate the megali
thic remains on the slopes(of the moun
tains there. The same race that creat
ed tho colossal ntatues on Easter Is
land, he believes constructed the Rapa
fortifications.
These prat bui'drrs were a race of
white men of Arvan stock, according to
Frcfessor MacMillan -Brown of New Zea
land, who has written a hook in sup
port of his contention.
After emibrating across the steppes
Of Asia in the Stone Age, the New
Zealand professor says these white men
finally occupied the Japanese Islands.
But again they moved on, this time
compelled by increasing pressure of Hon
golian hordes coming down from the
high plateaus of the continent, and
they went out to find new habitations
across the wide expanses of the Paci
fic. There they set up an island empire,
with its capital the great megalithie
city, the walls of which still stand, on
the island of Ponape in the Carolinas.
It was this white race, the professor
maintains, that in the days of their
undisputed possession of the South Sea
islands erected these enduring monu
ments. Many centuries later came a dark
skinned race from Indonesia which con-

New York art circles will probably never

torn asunder under the pressure of
disagreeing opinions regarding slant
faced ladies and whole canvasses of
planes and angles. From "imbecilic"
to "degrading efforts of sharp business
men" the diatribes have been hurled,
while an equally emphatic group de
clare that "Art has at last waked
from the somnoles-ience and the ages"
through the medium of these paintings
of Matisse, Picasse, and the rest t
them. Art or not ax-t, there is one
thing certain, it is impossible to tell
what they are pictures of. Joseph
Pennell. artist and author, and John

leaders of the opposing forces which
are carrying on the battle, and the
rise and fall of empires has never called
forth mere excited eloquence that the

Esther Ttsall Andrews, who
waa wife n. 2 in the Jersey City
"Love Nest" of Herbert Thornton
Andrews, is now accused of break

quercd the inhabitants and amalgamat
ing with them produced the Polyesian
type of today.
Professor MacMillan-Brown's argu
ment is not generally accepted as sound
by fhe larger number of students oi
Polynesian origin, but they have fail
ed so far to offer a convincing theory in
its place.
There is no disease more offensive
or disagreeable, or no disease that will
lead to as much serious trouble as
catarrh. You can now get rid of it by
a simple, safe, pleasant home remedy
discovered by Dr. Blosser, a catarrh
specialist.
Dr. Blosser's Remedy is composed of
medicinal herbs, flowers and berries,
which you smoke in a dainty pipe or
cigarette. The smoke vapor is inhaled
into all the air passages of the head,
nose, throat and lungs and carries med
icine where sprays, douches and oint
ments cannot possibly reach. Its ef
fect is soothing and healing and is en
tirely harmless. It contains no cubehs
or tobacco, is not sickening to those
who have never smoked, and may be
used by women and children as well
as men.
If you suffer from catarrh, asthma,
catarrhal deafness, or if subject to fre
quent colds, you should try this reme
dy. Satisfactory results guaranteed.
Any well-stocked drug store can supply
Dr. Blosser's Remedy.
A trial package will be mailed to
any sufferer for ten cents (coin or
stamps) by The Blosser Co., 2. DD
Atlanta, C..i.. to prove its beneficial
and pleas mt. effect. Adv.
WITNESSES HEARD IN
BIG POWER CASE
The first witnesses to take the stand
in the referee hearing of the Hardaway
Contracting Company against tne
Western Carolina Power Company in
the $1,300,000 suit for damages were
heard Wednesday morning. The 15 law
yers in the case and Referee J. E.
Swain ,cf Asheville. and a great arriy
of expert witnesses together with .we
stenographers and officers and directors
of the respective corporations con
stituted the main part of the crowd :it
the. first day's hearing in the audi
torium of Carnegie Library..
Most of the day Tuesday was spent
in arguing several motions which at
torneys for the two corporations pro
posed. Monday's session of the heav
ing was spent in reading the formal
complaints and answers and otherwise
getting the preliminary work done for
the taking of testimony. The estimatas
as to how long it will require to take
down the voluminous testimony of ail
witnesses varies from two weeks to six
weeks.
All the evidence will be typed fol
lowing the close of each day's hearing
and laid on the desks for the array of
attorneys on each side as reference
and record of the foregoing dav's
work.
The tragedy of the blind is being pene
trated with more, gleams of light. In
sisting that able-bodied sightless per
sons should not and need not be a
charge on the community in which they
live Dr. Schuyler Skaats Wheeler, of
this city, one of the leading engineers
of the country, has demonstrated that
they are well able to earn their own
livings in the electrical industry. As
president of the Crocker-Wheeler Com
pany, electrical machinery manufae
turers of the Ampere. N- J., be has beer,
able to test his theories and today hs
several score of sightless men .iiid wo
men working regularly in his plant.
They are making dynamos and motors
and are successfully carrying our over
20 operations. - This proof that tln-v
can earn their own livings if given a
chance has attract l wide interest .vid;
plans are being made greatly to extend
th activities of the "Double Duty Fin
ger Guild," as this "union" of blind
eliectrical workers is known.

If you have an absolutely perfect
profile you can dress your hair any way
you want, except that 5'ou should keep
to simple lines in order to bring out all
the beauty of your features. If you
haven't a perfect profile, however, you
must observe one or two rules. And
when I say profile I mean not only the
outlfhe of the face and the shape of
the nose and chin, but also the shape
of the back of the head and the sloping
line running down into the neck.
If you have a large protruding nose
you will have to balance its size by a
fairly large loose knot at the back of
the head.
If you have a small insignificant nose
you will have to place the knot quite
high on the back of the head.
If you have a large nose and a nicely
rounded head you can draw the hair
clown to the knot on the nape of the
neck.
If the line of the. back of the head
is flat you must bujld it out by putting
a knot of hair back there, no matter
what shape the nose may be.
If you have hollow cheeks bring the
hair out over the ears and part of the
checks. This softens and makes the
face seem rounder.
If your face is round and chubby
draw the hair back to show the lower
half of the ear. but do not get it too
fiat against the head, or it will make
the face seem flatter.
If your face is loner, bring the hair
clown over the forehead almost to the
eyes. If your lace is short and round
show all of the forehead, if the fore
head is broad.
If your features are irregular, "badly
matched," as one young friend put it,
the hai rshould be dressed very softly
around the face and out over the ears,
and the knot placed quite high on the
back of the head.
Dcra G.: Massage the scalp with
hot crude oil the night before the reg
ular shampoo. Send a stamped ad
dressed envelope for a formula to grow
lashes and eyebrows.
L- J.- Any beauty parlor does this
work. The price ish from $1 to $5 an
hour.
Miss S. F5.: The yeast cake is only
a convenient form. You can take the
yearst that- is- not compressed, if you
prefer it.
F. E. B.: In the pilocarpine tcnic,
the amount of alcohol should be four
drams. The word "ounces,," following
"(95 per cent)," has no connection with
the formula and is an error of the
printer's. The druggist should know
that. Thanks you for calling my atten
tion to it.
Very Thankful: Your baby's skin
trouble should be treated by the doctor.
There should be a good test, in order
to find out what causes the eczema.

years of age and am keeping company
with a voung man four yeais mj
senior. This young man has proclaim
ed his love for me several times, but
as yet I do not feel that I love him
enough to marry him and have to.d
him so. But he insists on going wr.h
me and will not give me up. Do. you
think it is proper for me to keep com
pany with the young man as a friend.
Do vou think I will learn to love him.
or should I drop his friendship if. l
cannot give love as he certainly shows
his love for me. How shall I treat
him? IN THOUGHT.
If you are frank with the young
man and db not lead him to believe
that you care more for him than you
really do, there is no reason why you
should not keep him as a friend. Per
haps in time his loyalty and devotion
will teach you to love him.
. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am 16 .ind
very much in love with a boy of 23.
He has gone away, but before he 'eft
he came over to our house to bid le
i good-bye. He said as he was going
! immp im would srive me a e:ood-b5'e I
wouldn't forget and before mother, my
cousin and sisters he kissed me.
Do you think he wants me to forget
him or does that show that he cares
for me? Would he do that if he didn't
care? I am sure he is a gentleman m
all respects.
I always have had great faith in him
and he always treated me as a lady
should be treated. My faith was never
shaken until his sister came over and
told me that he had another girl here
to whom he is writing. She tells a
great many stories that aren't true. I
don't believe, it and still he has been
gone two weeks and I haven't heard
from him yet. It is his place to write
first, isn't it?
Could he like another girl and do
arvl r
not care for any other.
If I meet him should I Spr.a-.
be angry at him? " ''
THANK TO"
The fact that the young man '.-v.
you does not mean any mere than f",
he likes you. He probably has C.T!
girls, too, but you have no ri;h' '-.
object because you have no clan f
him. If you and he were ensra" '
would have reason to object, to his V-
ing to some one else.
When he gets back, speak to hi::,
all means. Do not let him kiss V
again, however, because your j.;
should be held sacred for the man'
will sometime marry.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: My fnr.d v
I were talking about what we c
get our boy friends for Christmas
have been going: steady with the:
a long while. They are both 2i .
old and we are 22 years old.
For the last two years they hav:.
us very expensive Christmas pr..
such as a wrist wa.tch and a s?-
furs. We think it is awfully hard
get a boy anything that he will p5.
tively :ike. What would you th-
about a silk shirt? Please si;g-.
few things for us. One of us i? ,
gaged and one of us is no:, wv.
that make any difference?
PEGGY AND JAXE
It is all right for the engasei .
to give and accept expensive gifts, v
the girl who is not engage should;
give or accept jewelry and othc-r p
of great value.
For the girl who is not cr.cra:;
would suggest a book, picture or !;y
handkerchiefs.
The girl who is engaged might e:

thought her fiance would enjoy.
