color note of vellow and '' red, filled
4 .i..
gorgeous nasKeis, vases anu iia.ugwiK
baskets on the porch where the pret
ty courtesy to the bride-elect was so
beautifully extended.

CYPRESS TRUNK IS
RARE EXHIBITION
One of the most unique Made-in-Car-olinas
exhibits brought to the Exposi
tion arrived this morning and will be
placed on view at the Exposition
grounds durin gthe day. It is a long
straight cypress tree trunk, grown in
the eastern part of the State, not far
from Maxton. It was donated to th
Exposition by E. P. Williams, head of
the E. ,P. Williams Company, dealers
in lumber, shingles, cross ties .mi
other timbers, of Maxton.
Mr. Williams had the tree cut and
shipped here at his own expense and
offered it to the Exposition company
through Col. T. L. Kirkpatrick, presi
dent of the Chamber of Commerce,
Mr. Williams specified it shojtild be put
on exhibition at the Exposition as a
North Carolina product or used as a
flagpole at the Exposition grounds md
tha it should afterward be used as a
flagpole on some of the city school
grounds.
.The cypress specimen is 68 feet :n
length and averages about 26 inches
in diameter. It is a singularly splen
did specimen of the taxodium umbrl
carium, as the botanists call the batd
cypress tree that flourishes plentifully
in the eastern part of the State.

CHARLOTTE, N. Ct THURSDAY AFTERNOOIf," SEPTEMBER 15, 1921.
, 1 ' - -"" .. .
We. are getting along toward the
days now when people are coming j
back from vacations and appearing at
city desks and behind counters witn
peeling: noses and a deep scarlet V
which just doesn't quite match the
line made by the opening of the shirt
waist. It is very pleasant to see so
much sunburn because it is reminis
cent of good times and rest and fresh
air.- But it isn't quite so pleasant for
the poor girl who finds that sunburn
and her new Autumn frocks do not go
together.
The sunburned Summer girl should
treat her skin with a mild bleach
which will not dry it. Many bleaches
are drying, but the following, which I
consider the best, is not.
CUCUMBER FACE BLEACH.
Oil of sweet almonds . . . . 4 ounces
Fresh cucumber juice . . . . 13 ounces
White castile soap (powder-
ed) . . .. .. .. . 1-4 ounce
Tincture of benzoin .. ... 2-3 drachm
. Tho cucumber juice is made by tak
ing fresh cucumbers, slicing them thin,
cooking: them slowly in a very little
water, and then straining. Shake th-a
with the soap in a large jar, then odd
the oil and the benzoin and stir and
beat until the liquid is creamy. Keep
this in tightly corked bottles in the
dark and shake up before using.
Rub this into the skin and let it dry.
It is best used at night before going
to bed, but can also be used any time
during the day after you have washed
the face with warm water and soap.
If you wish this to be rather morj of
an astringent use a whole drachm c"
the Tincture of Benzoin instead of two
thirds. Mrs. H. B.: You are overtaxing your
digestion with so much sugar and that
COLONEL PRATT
IS NO COMPOSER
Printer's Error Keeps Him
Busy Shooing Away
Congratulations.
Colonel Joseph Hyde Pratt, hear of
the North Carolina Geological and Ec
onomic Bureau and authoritw on ev
erything connected with the State of
North Carolina, was busy Wednesday
night and Thursday disclaiming honors
which have been thrust upon him in
connection wit the Made-in-Carolinas Ex
position, wich he is here to attend. He
came, to superintend and manage a
booth setting forth the State's riches
in a geologic way but has acquired
honors that he did not anticipate.
Last 'night, when the several thous
and patrons of the Exposition picked
up the musical program of the evening
and went to listen to the New York
City concert, the Metropolitan Quartet
and Miss Marie Caslova, violinist, they
observed that one of the musical com
positions, "The Cavalry Charge", was
credited to Joseph Hyde Pratt- 9
IS NO COMPOSER
Col. Pratt, being modest, disclaims the
honor of being a composed and is busy
explaining to his friends here that there
is some mistake about that program.
He admits knowing something about
the geologic resources of North Caro
lina, but engineering other things. He
even admits that no one likes ir,usic
more than he, but he says, as for com
posing, he has no hope of ever attain
ing tune in that field. He was a lull
fledged colonel of engineers in France.,
wearing an onerlue on his shoulder, and
will admit that he may modestly claim
to have done a soldier s duty as com
mander of" one of the engineering regi
ments of the Thirtieth division, but
he would like it understood that he
uoes not claim to be a musical composer
"The honor of composing "Tho Cavalry
Charge', which the New York City Con
cert Band played so splendidly at the
Exposition is not my work", Colonel
Pratt explained to enqiuring friends,
andl guess there is some mistake about
the program. Although, I ain not an
authority on musical matters, 1 under
stand that 'The Cavalry Charge was
composed by Mr. Gustave Luders, a very
celebrated composer of music.

gram again to make sure that he had

increitee your weight, clear your sys

that nourishes and will be more easily
assimilated, such as milk or olive oil

A Friend: It is always best to cut
the hair after a severe spell of sickness,
especially one in which there has been
much fever. Tonic treatment should
be resorted toVwhether you cut It or
not and you should massage the scalp
every day. Bleach the hair on arms
with Peroxide . of Hydrogen, just as it
comes prepared.
Hopeful:- You can reduce the size cf
the pores by using an astringent reg
ularly. Follow the usual cleansing of
the face by an ice rub. Consult your
doctor about your nose, as you should
not take any chance of bruising it
through strenuous Vnasaging. There
may be something left from the opera
tion which is causing this swelling. It
is unfair to the doctor not to allo'Tr
him to complete his work.

was as plain as anything, his own name
on the right-hand side of the pagi credit
ed .wit being the author of the famo
musical number. His friends at ,e ho
tel and about te Exposition grounds
have been slapping him' on the back
and saying "Colonel, I didn't know be
fore that you were a musical composer.
It is quite an honor to have a native
son of North Carolina compose music
for the Made-in-Carolinas Exposition,
but I really had never heard that you
were musical."
Colonel Pratt would again explain, de
precatingly, that it was not he who
composed "The Cavalry Gharge", that
a famous European composer. Gustave
Luders, did it and that for some reason
unknow?i t ohim the printer of the pro
gram had placed the named Joseph
Hyde Pratt on the credit line as the
composer.
