Ireland, land of fairy leu ends and romantic twilights, Is being put under the scientific microscope by American exports from Harvard uni versity, who are engaged In a live years' archeologlcal, anthropometric, social and economic survey of the coun try. As a Result, all kinds of surprising, fascinating fncts are being discovered, Including a mysterious type of dark haired, blue-eyed and falr-sklnned peo ple. Dr. C. W. Du Pertuls, head of the racial section of Harvard's survey, who has established temporary headquar ters at Ennis, County Clare, described how he and his little band of experts are taking the measure of Paddy and Molly. With him Is his wife, an en thusiastic worker, who acts as record ing secretary. Will Measure 10,000. Ton thousand people will be meas ured and classified In 18 months, Doc tor Du Pertuls hopes. In Ave minutes 1125 facte are collected about each In dividual. At the end of the survey the Harvard workers will be In possession of one and a quarter million facts, which will be taken to Harvard and tabulated, a two-year task. One thousand people will be meas ured In the Clare district during the next month, Doctor Du Pertuls said. When all the facts have been digest ed at Hayard, Doctor Du Pertuls hopes they will answer such questions as: Who were the Celts? Where are their descendants? And so on. From his preliminary work Doctor Du Another Lenglen? The eyes of Kurope's tennis fans are on Gem Hoahlng who In pictured In action nt Cannes. At the age of thir teen the girl Is a veritable "gem" of the tennis courts, holding her own with such stars as Runny Austin, Von Cramm and Brugnon. She la said to he hotter than Suzanne I/englen when Suzanne was the "child wondor" of the courts. I'ertuls has roughly classified the dif ferent predominant types as Nordic, John Bull, Sllgo, Galway, Leltrlm, Mid land, Red Head, Aran, Mayo, Kerry and South East. Irish literature about "types" of peo ple Is not a true guide, he has found. "For Instance," Doctor Du I'ertuls said, "In County Calway, where from the literature one would expect to find n dark swarthy type of Spanish extrac tion I found very little of such. Of Spanish Descent. "Similarly in County Clare I am led to believe that the dark type will be found on the constllne owing to a por tion of the Spanish Armada being wrecked there. "It may be a pure racial type. I did, however, discover one type of more than usual Interest, possessing blue eyes, dark hair, and fair skins. At present I have no Idea ho^ this type originated. It Is what we call a 'dis harmonic combination.' We have In this type a most unusual and peculiar combination of colors, from what we know of the other peoples of the world. "It maybe a pure racial type or the results of a mixture. If a pure type It may represent the remnants of tin? Celtic people; if a mixture, the rem nants of the Milesian and the Flrebolg peoples." Doctor Du I'ertuls said It was pos sible to Identify present-day types with earlier types by comparing measure ments of the present-day head and oth er parts of the body with those of skel etons and skulls found In various parts of the country by the archeological sec tion of the survey. ^ One of his objects Is to prepare a true living type map of Ireland for comparison with the archeological early type picture, the data for which Is based on the finds of skeletons and skulls. My Neighbor SAYS: Windows may be quickly and easily cleaned If rubbed with a woolen cloth that has been wrung out of hot water and moistened with kerosene. Polish after a few minutes with chamois. Vegetable soup Is always better If allowed to stand for a day after It Is cooked and reheated just before serv ing. Left-over boiled rice can be sea soned, rolled In egg and crumbs, shaped Into cakes and when browned In a little fat they make a tasty food to serve as a potato substitute. Never hang a fur coat which has been worn In a rainstorm near a radi ator. Intense heat Injures the skin. First remove the moisture with a dry cloth, then hang the coat In a cool place where It will dry. Q. the AnBoelatert Ncwspapon. WNU Service.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, son of the dis tinguished poet whose n n m e he bore, was born In Boston In 1841. lie won his A.

She died in 15VJ0. They had no children. .7 list Ice Holmes was a patriot. He was wounded In the breast at Hall's BluiV in I SOI, and was later wounded in both his neck and foot. He was mustered out of the army In 1804 with the rank of captain.

In 15W2 he resigned. In point of years he was the oldest man who ever sat on the bench of the Supreme court. Justice Holmes had nn unusually large capacity for friendship. He was frequently In company with his close friend. Justice Brandels. with whom he was often seen walking arm In arm. It was said that the two friends were Inseparable. Much has been svrltten concerning Justice Holmes' philosophy of life. Among the most salient points are. "a man must face the loneliness of original work." How true this Is only those know who are sacrlflclally engaged In resenrch and In specialized lines of altruistic work. Another maxim was that, "no mnn's work Is done so long as there remains power to do the work." lie had no desire for early retirement, preferring the life of active service to one of ease. Another guiding principle was that, "no task was great in Itself. It became great when conducted with a great spirit." In a letter to a friend he wrote, "Life Is n romantic busi ness. It is painting a picture; not do ing a sum, but you hnve to make the romance." That sentence seems to express the spirit of the great Jurist. ? Wftntorn N?w?p(*i?er Union. Earth Slide Revealed Large White Sapphires Hoqulnm, Wash.?

So It is for the houietuaker to select those which Lessen her bud net rather than Increase it. Tin? kind of soap dishes to avoid are those which tend to keep the soap wet. The kinds to choose are those which permit the soap to drain off extra moisture and allow air currents to circulate about it and thus aid in the drying out of the cake. It would be supposed that all soap dishes would have these features, but such Is not the case. The bottom of a soap dish should be perforated, or else have a perforated soap rest In it raised sufficiently above the bottom of the dish to allow some water to col lect In It without touching the soap. These features per mit soap to drain after using and to dry quickly from air circulating a bout the cake. Woven wire or met ai sint soap containeus are well liked for bathtubs and sinks. The soap drains into tub or sink and dries well, since plenty of nlr can net to the cake. Slat containers are not so suitable as perforated or woven wire ones. When a cuke of soap yets thin it will slip between the sla^s, which is annoying, and wasteful also, if It falls into water. An Excclh nt Kind. The best kind of a soap dish Is one with n well-raised removable tray. The tray can be taken out and washed in hot water to open clogged holes, and then dried. The dish can be over turned, emptied, washed and dried, and when parts are combined again the dish is like new. Or If the dish Is fastened to the wall it can be wiped out, until clean, and then dried before the cleaned tfay Is restored to its proper place. With such a soap dish and given such care, soap will be kept in good condition without waste. There Is another style of soap dish popular some years ago In which the perforated tray is made high above the bottom of the dish and yet part of the dish Itself. In one side, situated well above the bottom of the soap dish there Is a good-size opening. The water which collects under the per forated portion never can come high enough to touch the cake of soap. The dish is emptied by pouring the water out through the opening. It Is cleaned by running hot water through the per forations to free them from colleeted softened soap and to flush the under portion of the dish. Seeing Strange Things. A saucer substituted for a soap dish Is poor economy. It is impossible to keep the bottom of the saucer free from water and this softens the soap and wastes it. A soap dish with slight ly raised bars across the bottom Is lit tle better as the soap is not sufllrlently elevated to be kept dry. It Is nma/.InK the way temporary arrangements, and emergency meas ures, become settled Into permanency in a home. Something suddenly re quires immediate adjustment, and It Is temporarily fixed with no Intention of its remaining as It then Is. But days and weeks, months, and some- - times years, pass and the emergency measure still continues Its Inefficient cure. The homemaker should occasionally j consider herself an outsider, and look at the rooms and their arrangement and peculiarities, and also her ward robe and Its emergency mending, as If her eye was not familiar with them. There will he many things she can tlx permanently without delay. What must wait 1'or future attention should be Jotted down and attended to at the first possible time. In numerous in stances she will realize It Is not the cost nor the bother It would mean to have the articles fixed. It Is purely and simply because of inattention and the habit of not noticing strange things because they have become the accus tomed ones. ?, Bell Syndicate? WNU Service.
