Guy bet face powder, according to Dr. GyF. Lipscomb, professor of chemistry - at the University of South Carolina, is - mostly pure rice-starch. The best grades can be sifted through a sifter having 300 gholes to the square inch. Cheap powder, lhe states, is usually made from white kaolin, commonly eknown as clay. Both rice-starch and kaolin are usually perfumed and tinted, dwhile boric acid is added to baby pow dders. t,"Most brands of rouge," he points out, "are made up of red dye, glycerine, and aalcohol."~ ,, There are, however, many ways to s, make a lipstick. One lipstick can be man is ufactured by combining rouge paste, s, beeswax, mineral oil, vaseline, and per 4. fume. Another can be made from a comn ni bination of parrafin wax, mineral oil, vas h eline, perfume, and some coloring ma ~e terial. Other forms of lipstick contain .stereoricinel, a form of fat combined with f wax, with a carmine color. eC Vanishing creams, Dr. Lipscomb says, e. are mostly composed of fats, and shaving r creams are only soaps mixed with a little sg coconut oil or olive oil.

Caughman, who live on the Broad river road, near Columbia. Mr. and Mrs. Caughman have had five sons and daughters to graduate from the University, a sixth is now in his senior year, and the seventh is planning to matriculate upon the com pletion of her high school work next February. Members of the Caughman family who have been graduated from the in stitution are: William Bernard, Lu ther O'Neill, Ernest Franklin, Muller Eugene, and Margaret Virginia. George, the sixth, who is now a senior, is confined to his home with illness. Dorothy, the seventh, is planning to matriculate in February after finish ing Columbia High School. All mem bers of this family who have attended the University have made good records and are devoted alumni of the institu tiou. The Gamecock believes this family attendance constitutes some kind of record, and invites its readers to sub mit the names of other families who can compete with the Caughmans. -U. S. U. Child Learns Words Easily Girls Out-talk Boys Dr. Kershaw Walsh Says 10 Year Old Child Has One-Word Vocabulary "A fter the age of five or six years, the population of the world in general does not improve its vocabulary, either by ac quiring new words or by improving the skill in the use of the old ones," points our Dr. Kershaw Walsh, professor of psychology, University of South Caro lina. The average child has a vocabulary of one word when he is ten months of age, according to Dr. Walsh. 1-Ie has tripled his number when he reaches the age of one year. At one year, six months his vocabulary has increased over seven told. When he is two years of age the num ber has augmented to 272. At the age of three, 896 words. 1540 is the average number for the four years old. From the age of five to six years the vocabulary reaches its maximum and the accelation ceases after this mark. Here, the child's vocabulary is about .2072 words. "Girls talk more than boys and they talk sooner," Dr. WValsh points out, "And, in most cases, nouns are learned first and verbs later." "Language development is closely re lated to the general intelligence of the individual. The length of the sentences that a child uses shows a deninite corre lation with his I.Q."

It also possesses thir een specimens of incunabula, or books printed between 1450 and 1500, when movable type were first used. It has, too, several specimens of the works of some of the most famous printers in the world, including Aldus, Elzevir, Roycroft, and others.

Piranesi's etchings of Rome is a mag nificent work in 30 volumes and is one of the library show pieces. Dr. Magoffin, well-known American archeologist, considers Dcscription de 'Egypte, the work of the savants who accompanied Napoleon in his expedi tion to Egypt, the library's most val uable possession.

"This is only a sample of the many things left in classes," Mr. Coon says. It may be due to forgetfulness or such in tent interest in the classes that they for get their personal belonigings. There from 300 to 400 items--books, watches, fountain pens, pocket books, raincoats and topcoats, glasses, umbrellas, pipes, notebooks and other miscellaneous articles which have to be retrieved and an attempt made to find the owner. Sometimes they don't miss the articles for several days and the janitor is forced to make inquiries and post bulletins. But usually when something is lost the party merely comes to Mr. Coon and asks if he has it. "Why 1 recovered one lady's pocket book so many times, that finally it be came routine, and when she lost it she always came to me and asked for it," he said.
