en Tryout in Germany is p t ett High. " ' (By Associated Press) BERLIN. Feb. 19. If the war had lasted a few months longer Germany was prepared to surprise , the world with an enormous airplane! The new Riant of the air, which was planned by Harold Wolff, an engineer, will have Its trial at Doberitz within a few days. The new machine is nearly 165 feet from wing tip to wing tip, and stands more than 23 feet high. It has six motors, with a total of 1,800 horse

power, driven by four propellers, two of , which are forward and two , aft. Each of the propellers has four blades. Two of the motors, it is said, can stop simultaneously, without affecting any of the propellers or having any result except to reduce the speed of airplane. Apart from its dimensions and power the new airplane not only is equipped with devices enabling the v pilots to know at all times their altitude and angle of elevation, but also with devices to tell the absolute as well as relative direction wnich, it is believed, will make flying possible on the darkest nights and in the thickest fogs. The device for determining the absolute direction consists of an instrument adapted to receiving messages from various wireless stations and is capable of such adjustment that a message from any particular station . can be heard only when the device is turned in that direction.

A Woman By Zoe

NEWS Roy NIcoll threw a fur robe over the hood of his motor, pushed back his. cap, which he wore reversed, givinghim an extra touch of youth and devil-macareness and strode into the hotel. Janet rose in astonishment that ; was only half pleasurable. Mrs. Crafton rose with unadulterated eagerness. Nicoll, obviously well-moneyed; looked "good" to Dorothea. y ; He saw them at once and came jovially forward, pulling off Wb cap and gauntlets and showing both rows of white teeth. Janet performed the rites of introduction and then said the obvious thing that she was surprised to see him, and how did he know8he was here? "Stopped at the Well-known' fiat the other evening," said Roy, "and found friend husband widowed and alone. Asked, him where you were and how and why. And here I am. , Glad you j are . in sucn suitame environment and such charming company." be added, with a sweeping bow to Dorothea, who instantly resolved to hang his scalp to her belt. "So the works are having to do without you for a while, eh? I told you you couldn't be two people in one, young woman. Men can't do it; why should women expect to?" IThat's just what I tell her, Mr. Nicoll," put in Dorothea : with an ingratiating flutter" of the eyelids. "We were discussing that very thing when you come. This dear child yearnfe to toil in the interests of humanity, and wants me to help her reform the world with uplift movements and and that sort of thing. I say it's man's work to make the money and woman's part to spend it on the beautifying elements of life herself, her clothes, her home, her society, her" friends. What this child needs' she added archly, "is somebody to teach her not to take herself and the world's problems so seriously."- , All of which made Janet so weary that she found it too great an effort to reply. She was busy wondering why Nicoll had come, and trying to decide whether she were more sorry than glad or more glad than sorry. Also she wondered if he .knew Walt was not coming up this week-end because of an order he had had for a story which he must perforce write outside of business hours. She vaguely felt it would have been more delicate of Roy to let her complete her GOMPERS PRESIDES AT LABOR MEET (By Associated Press) ' PARIS, Feb. 19. Equal representation for governments on the one'hand and employers and labor on the other was decided upon by the commission on international labor legislation yesterday in adopting plans for the meetings of the proposed annual international labor conference. . The plan adopted was that presented by the British delegates with an amendment proposed by the Belgian delegation. Samuel Gompers, head of the American Federation of Labor, presided over the meeting. The official statement announcing the result of the deliberations reads: . "The ninth meeting of the commission of international labor legislation was held at the ministry of labor under the presidency of Mr. Gompers at 2:30 p. m., on Monday, Feb. 17. . . "The discussion of the procedure laid down . in the British scheme for the meetings of the annual conference was continued. The commission agreed to the British proposal as amended In accordance with a proposal of the Belgian delegation, which provided that at the annual labor conference the government of each state shall be represented by two delegates having one vote each while there will be one delegate from each state representing employers and having one vote and one delegate representing work people also having one vote."

Beckley "rest cure" without incursions even on the part of inhostile and attractive young men with motor cars. : ' At the same time she couldn't help a little surge of pleasure at showing Dorothea Strang of the New York Strangs, you know that having a millionaire on your friendship list was not impossible even to a "working girl." While all this was flitting through Janet's mind Nicoll and Mrs. Crafton were exchanging the verbal small coin of the drawing room. She suddenly realized, however, that Nicoll was mentioning David Temple, her "boss," the tenement commissioner, in whose office she made her daily bread with its ample butter. i "Yes, it looks 'as, though the graft faction wduld win out," he was saying. "Not altogether, but so far as Temple is concerned. They never did like him too honest and decent and reformish for them. They've been after them for months. I think he'll be sent abroad by the commission to study conditions for a year or so. By the time he gets back, the enemy will be less powerful." It took Janet Stedman some seconds to realize that if this preposterous news were true, her position as Temple's secretary would be lost. "You can't mean it really! You are only joking or it's only a rumor or " her throat went dry, her heart beat uncomfortably. , '-'Yes, little sister of the working girl, I do mean it. It won't happen for some months but it'll happen." And Nicoll watched her quizzically. "I I must go straight home." said Janet in a breathless tone. "Straight home today some time."

Joicey Williams, the well know American actress, who was recently playing at the Imperial Theatre in St. Louis, Mo., made the following statement about gray hair and how to darken it: -"Anyone can prepare a simple mixture at home, at very little cost, that will darken gray, streaked or faded hair, and make it soft and glossy. "To a half pint of water add 1 ounce of bay rum, a small box of Barbo Compound, and ounce of glycerine. These ingredients can be bought at any drug store at very little cost, or any druggist can put it up for you. Apply to the hair twice a week until the desired shade is obtained. This will make a gray haired person look 20 years younger. This is not a dye, it does not color the most delicate scalp, is not sticky or greasy and does not rub off. Adv.
