SCRUBBING CURE FOR
HYSTERICAL WOMEN
London.-—A well-known British wo
man writer, In an article commenting
on the recent advice of a noted French
doctor, diacuaaee for the benefit ot
mere man the new plan for restoring
beauty in wives.
“Housework Is an Infallible cure for
neurasthenic and hjratericsl women.
—Dr. Gommes at the Paris Congress
of Medical Hygiene.
All those harassed husbands and
distracted fathers who have for their
sins tsideal with the erratic whims and
fancies of the discontented wives and
daughter? of today should note, mem
oriae and inwardly reflect on the
thy doctor's original phrase.
Unfortunately, however, husbands
and fathers may note and memorise,
but so seldom Inwardly reflect. Their
Idea of applying their Infallible
te Che -nervous females will probably
be to rush out, order a brand ne
of brooms and brushes from the s
bid the patient set to, and watch the
wonderful results.
This Is not the way, gentlemen,
reap the reward of the prescription
gratuitlously given by the eminent
specialist No one will deny that
scrubbing is good for the soul,
the perverse feminine soul does not
always find goodness In Itself suffici
ently attractive.
When you come home to dinner
night adopt a mysterious and porten
tous air. During the course of the
meal you will hint that a new beauty
cultmlat of infallible remedies has
arisen in Paris. It has come to your
knowledge that the women of the gay
capital are looking to his consulting
room to learn his secret.
The ladles, you tell her, after sub
mitting in deadly secrecy to the doc
tor's gruelling cure, emerged after
three months' treatment radiant, and
ready to be worshipped anew.
Incidentally you add that Mrs.
Smith, the wife of your senior part-
mer, has learned the secret, which has
been communicated to you in strict
confidence by her husband. You have
of course, no secrets from your wife,
sad after dinner you proceed to dem
onstrate the remedy.

WHALE INDUSTRY
FACES EXTINCTION
If the killing of whale* continues
the present rate they will be extermi
nated before another decade, Is the
warning given by Sir Sydney F Har-
mer, F. R. S.. director of the natural
history department of the British
seum. Recent Investigations carried
out In the whaling area* ha* revealed
this alarming condition, he says.
The whaling Industry haa survived
since the time of Alfred the Great,
despite the fact that there has never
been a year known when scores of
boats did not leave the ports o: Eng
land. France. Spain and Scandinavia
to bunt the sea animals, Sir Sydney
declared In a recent address, In which
he urged legislation against further,
hunting of whales.
Greenland Variety Disappears.
The Greenland variety of the whale
Is already thought to be extinct, and
the hunting of the last few year
been confined almost entirely t<
southern seas.
The profits derived from the killing
of these cetaceans are enormous, and
they Increase yearly as the retail
price of the oil and bone Increases.
A fair sized whale has a ton of whale
bone in its mouth, which alone
worth $10,000. It also produces at
$100 a ton. In the season of 1916-16
the oil production from Antartlc whal
ing stations was 654,000 barrels, or
about 94.000 tons.
During the war this oil was recog-
nixed a* of vital Importance In the man
ufacture of nitro-glycerlne. It is non
used in making soap.
The principal whales caught today
are a species of rorquals, or fin
whales; the blue whale and the sperm
whale. The latter, the hunting
which Is principally confined to Amer-
, not only give sperm oil, but
often contain ambergis, which la sold
at $20 an ounce and used In the per
fumery trade The oil used for lubri
cating the wheels of watches comes
from the dolphin and Is the finest oil
known.

“The movies are highly profitable
and, if the latter half of each week
were regularly devoted to them, they
ought to bring in enough money to
offset possible losses on plays acted
by a permanent company in the first
half of each week. This company
would thus have the equivalent of
ten days, not six, In which to prepare
each new production—no small ad
vantage to their art*

PROPOSES BOTH MOVIES AND
PLAYS FOR SMALL THEATRES
Northampton, Mass. Dec. 21.—
Something in the nature of a gentle-
i agreement between motion
picture exhibitors and those interest
ed in the spoken drama is suggested
solution of the community
theatre problem by Samuel A. Eliot,
Jr., assistant professor of English at
Smith College. Mr. Eliot is the au
thor of several one-act plays and was
active in the community theatre
venture of the Northampton Play-
rs, which attracted wide attention
few years ago.
Expressing in a recent letter to the
Dally Hampshire Gazette a hope tor
revival of a community repertory
company in Northampton, Mr. Eliot
advanced the idea that in a city of this
size—Northampton haa a population
of 22,000—the fmusemont time of
the municipal auditorium might
profitably be divided equally
tween the play and the movies.
“It seems certain," ha said, “that
the Academy of Mafic is too Urge or
Northampton too small to support
more than one play out of ten
through as many repetitions as the
Northampton Players used to give,
Three or four performances
hit followers had maintained that
their grievances were properly matt
ers for an international court of law,
their independence having been
recognized by a British sovereign.
Leaders of the Loyalists, the winn
ing faction at Chaweken, were chief
ly from the Christian tribes of the
Mohawks and Delawares. They were
well satisfied with the outcome at the
pow-wow, but now propose to go
even further. Their tribes have
virtually no representation on the
hereditary council, members of which
are elected for life by the women of
the tribes. The Loyalists, it is
nounced, will work for an elective
council, "to conform with the demo
cratic trend of the times and to do
away with a romnant of feudalism.”
