ANSWERED LETTERS.
HESSIAN SOLDIER'S
BELT BUCKLE FOUND
New York, Sept. 20 A Hessian sol
dier's belt buckle has h:en found by
historical workers excavating: the site
of the Kevolut'iomv-y war prison camp
on the old Dyokman farm, near 203rd
Street.
The buckla, o' bronze, is in a per
fect state f preservation and officials
of the Fi'ld Exploration committee of
the New York Historical Society, say it
is one of tne few Revolutionary relics
of undoubted Hessian origin.
The buckle has been identified a part
of the equinnvi.it of the Fuerst Freder
ick or Erb Prinz Regiment of Hesse,
mercenaries brought over by the Bri
tish to fight Washington's continentals.
On the front of the buckle is engraved
the monogram "F. F." surmounted by
a crown. The original hook ir belt hokl
er is on the back.
The Fuerst Frederick regiment, ori
ginally 688 strong, took part in many
engagements in the Revolution. It
participated in the battle of Long Is
land, and was assigned to the left wing
of Earl Percy's force at tlu battle of
Fort Washington. Later the regiment
was sent south and eventually was
captured at Torktown.
Upon the declaration cf peace the
survivors were returned to New York
to await transportation hom and dur
ing this peri l they wers quartered in
the hut c .internment on the Dyokman
farm.
Ruby You are fortunate to be able
to get the crude oil from a refinery.
The treatment is given about every
other week, which should be the night
before the regular shampoo. Part the
hair into small stranos and massaere
the oil intp the scalp, by using the fin
ger tips between these strands. The
scalp will take up more of the oil, if
it is heated. Tie the head up over
night to protect the bed linen.
M. C M. If you improve the circu-!
lation in the scalp, the coloring will be
evened up. Massage the scalp each day
until the muscles are loose and you
feel a" warm glow over the head. A
good tonic will hasten the improve
ment also.
Grey Eyes Bobbed hair is not vs
popular now as it was during the early
Spring months. As your hair is healthy,,
there would be no excuse for having'
it cut at this time.
'
Constant Reader To the half of a
pint of sage tea, add three quarters of
an ounce of powdered sulphur and the
same quantity of tincture of canthar
ides. Mary R. For the jersey cloth dress
that is too tight, insert a panel on
each side of the skirt. This should
be of some contrasting material and
will look as if it were originally plan
ned to go with the dress, if you have
the new material laid in long pleats. If
it is too tight over the chest, relieve
it by inserting a 'V shape of the new
material.
Susan The cream mentioned will not
grow hair. Extract the coarse hairs
by using blunt-end tweezers and
bleach the fine ones, until you can havo
the work done by a dermatologist. Nev
er cut this superfluous hair, as it will
coarsen and be more conspicuous than
it is at present.
S. G. W. Unless the hair is short,
a weekly shampoo is not advisable, as
it will take almost a week for the
scalp to secrete enough oil to proper y
nourish the hair again after the sham
poo. This applies to the average head
of hair that is about the length to the
waist line. A very oily head will also
be an exceptional case, but such scalos
are abnormal and need treatment.
Once in three weeks, or for the excep
tional case two weeks, will be about
right for a thorough shampoo.
Red Dot You will- increase your
weight and build up the system too f
you take a tablespoonful of. olive oil
three times each day. This Is pleasant -er
to take, if the same amount of granc
juice is mixed with it, taking, it: with
the meals, as it will then be assimilated
with the other nourishment.
All inquiries addressed to Miss Forbes
in care of the "Beauty Chats" depart
ment will be answered in these columns
in their turn. This requires consid
erable time, however, owing to the
great number received. So if a per
sonal or quicker reply is desired, a
stamped and self-addressed envelope

DAVIS BOUND OVER
ON LIQUOR CHARGE
J. F. Davis, an aged white man
arrested recently at his home near
Lakewood Park for having about 18
gallons of whiskey in his home, was
tried - before Magistrate J." W. Cobb
at the courthouse and bound over to
the next term of criminal court under
a bond of $250. The magistrate did
not find probable cause to hold J. C
Davis and W. F. Davis, sons of J. F.
Davis.
The whiskey which was found in the
Davis heme on a recent Saturday night
by officers when they visited the place
was said to belong to Lloyd D. Pettus,
a well-known white man who lives in
the city. A warrant was sworn out
for him and would have been served
had he been found in the city. His
present whereabouts is unknown to
officers of the law.
The defendant Davis maintained the
liquor found in his house did not be
long to him but was the property of
Pettus and contended through his at
torneys, D. B. Smith and Clyde Stan
cill, that he was not guilty under the
statute. Solicitor George W. Wilson
prosecuted the case.

NEW YORK THEATER
GOERS TOO NOISY
New York, Sept. 20. The impulse of
theatergoers to applaud actors as'thev
step out from the wings each nigtt
is worrying Broadway. One manager
has included in the program a request
that the audience break itself of the
habit.
The custom began with the greot
ings which star worshipers always ex
tend on the first appearance of leading
actors. Spurred on, skeptics aver, by
complimentary tickets, the custom
spread to lesser mortals. The li-;
straw came the other night when tu
multuous applause interrupted a per
formance on the appearance of a minor
character, whose only assignment was
to announce that the coach and pair
are ready, sir.
