BEAUTY FOR BUSY WOMEN
Makieg the most of one's looks is
a lifetime job! And it is very true
that time devoted to sell -beautify -Mg
will be well -repaid, But many read-
ers are too busy to spare the time
for extended beautifying treatments,
especially when wartime makes its
demands on many of us. Here, then,
are a few "musts" that I believe
even the busiest can fit into bee
schedule.
In the morning, a few limbering -
up exercises, carried out briskly.
Then, give your hair a vigorous
brushing—aud 1 mean vigorous!
Don't neglect your teeth. Clean
them after every meal and morning
and eight, Look to your nails; they
stead out more than ever today.
And plettee don't fovget feminine
daintiness, what ever you do; take
no chances on perspiration odour. A
little deodorant cream will lobe after
this for you.
Cleanliness is essential, of course.
Wash your face, neck, busts end
hands with lovely pairnolive soap;
its lather is so refreshing and so
cleansing. And. for your make-up,
you will gave time and ensure skill
loveliness if you use three-purpOse
cream tied powder, rouge and lip-
stick to match your skin.
You can look after your hands at
odd moments by rubbing them with
hand lotion. And while you're doing
this, pat a little on your elbows. It
helps to keep them smooth.

me, in eonfidence. and tell me your
lirelcular problems. Enclose four

STEAMER GREYHOUND WAS
FAMOUS EXCURSION BOAT
W. E. Phillips in the London
Free Press),
While not the thee to estalehth a i
regular line of passenger steamers
on the St. Clair River the White Star
Line is the best remembered by this
generation, as they built and epee -
a15(1 large steamers especially de-
signed for river traffic.
Detroit was the centre of the sys-
totes and from there they operated
one line to Sarnia and Port Huron
and one the other way to Toledo.
The company was first organized
in 1896 and for three yeers operated
andel' a pooling agreement with the
Star -Cole and Red Star Linee, usieg
the "City of Toledo." In 1899 they
purchased the old "Greyhound" and
opened Tashmoo Park 10 1900 they
built the steamer "Tashmoo" and in
1902 scrapped the old Greyhound
and built the new one. In 1903 the
"Owana" was added to the fleet. In
the year 1908 the "Wattketa" was
added. In 1905 Sugar Island, at the
month or the Detroit River VAS pur-
chased. This made a total of five
steamers and two large amusement
parks.
They continued in operation until
1925 when increasing competition of
motor curs and motor trucks forced
them out of business. The individual
boats continued to operate under re-
ceivers or other owners for a few
years but today they have all gone
from the lakes,
Many people have asked where
did the boats come from and where
did they go, Considering that 'the
White Star Line carried an average
of 775.000 people a year, it is prob-
able , that their boats were well
known to more people than any Oth-
re on the Great Lakes. For many
years the Greyhound carried an an-
nual excursion from Detroit to God-
erich that was well patronized.
To get the history of the Grey-
hound we have to start a long way
back. In 1846 the steamer Canada
was built with an engine 60 inch dia-
meter cylinder and a 12 foot stroke.
By some. alleged sleight of hand per-
formance Eber Ward of St. Clair be-
came her owner in 1851 and for
some reason she was scrapped and
the engines put into the Caspian,
She was wrecked in 1852 at Cleve-
land but Ward salvaged the engines
and they went into the E. K. Collins
built in 1853. She was unfortunate
and was burned at 152111011 (Am-
herstburg) 111 1864.
She was raised and repaired, the
engines being takers out and a new
sot Installed and she became the
Ark. The engines of the Collins
were put into the Planet that Ward
built in 1855. She was a popular und
successful steamer but by 1866 she
had done enough and was dismant-
led at Manitowoc, Michigan. The
eteamer Northwest was being built
there and in 1867 the engines or the
Planet went into her. Northwest
came down to Lake Erie anti re-
placed the Morning Star on the MI
between Cleveland and Detroit.
About this time she changed her
name to the Greyhound.
By 1876 it was found that the old
engines were no longer serviceable,
which is not surprising, as they had
served five boats and survived a
wreck and a fire in their 30 years of
uplicate

engine, but not a new 0110. The old
engines front the Detroit. which were
built by the Shepard Iron Works of
Buffalo le 1859 were installed and
served until 1902 whee they were
taken out and the Greyhound be-
came a barge.
In that year the new Greyhound
was built at 'Wyandotte but again

They were from the old steamer R.
N. Rice built iu the 1870's. The
Greyhound went on the Detriot-
Toledo run and the City of Toledo
took the Detroit -Port Huron run.
Capt. Thomas elleklehant proudly
took command of the new boat and
was skipper until 1917 when he was
succeeded by Capt. W. G. Adams.
She continued on the run until 1924
when it was sold to the Red Star
Navigation Company and put on the
Toledo -Put -In -Bay run.
By 1931 business had fallen off and
she got into financial difficulties and
was kept fast to the dock by liens
and court orders.
From the time. She started, for a
period of 30 years, Dennis Dagon of
Toledo served as first mate, the only
man to serve the full life of the boat.
In 1935 the handsome 237 foot ves-

be scrapped to pay claims against

English painters of a hundred years

come high among the "wanted."

Connoisseurs ia the United States

The largest hydrostat installation
ever planned is now being built in
Scotland for Bariloehe itt the Arg-

A hydrostat is a pump worked by
the action of falling water. The
power of the pump depends on the
felt of the water and its volume.
The new Installation will supply a
high level reservoir at 361 metres
