Somewhere in France Probably there
U not in all France a more beautiful or
delightful district than the Savoie dis
trict. This is the region that had been
designated by the commanding general
as the leave area of the men of the
American army. Recently I made a
trip through the Savoie country, travel
ing by train, by auto and afoot, and to
say that it Is a land of charm Is ex
pressing It moderately.
Aix-les-Bains is the best known of the
Savoie resorts. It Is 581 kilometers
about 363 miles from Paris. Its his
tory takes one back into antiquity. The
Romans, attracted by the beauty and
tbe healthfulness of the region, made a
permanent settlement there long before
the birth of Christ. They built the first
baths at Aix 122 years B. C. They
have left abundant evidence of their
occupation, for dig where you will at
Aix you are apt to find Roman re
mains. Carefully preserved In the
public square is a Roman arch, the
Arc de Campanus. which was erected
In the third century by Lucius Pom-
pieus Campanus. It seems a far cry
to the days when Domitius, pro-consul
for Julius Caesar, built the baths at
Aix, but even before the day of the
Romans the value of the health restor
ing waters at Aix were known to the
Aquenses, whose home the district was.
The thing that has made Aix-les-Balns.
Chambery and Challes-les-Eaux is the
curative properties of their waters. Our
soldier boys will stay where, in the past,
few but persons of great wealth could
afford to come. Starting with Caesar
and Charlemagne. Aix has ever been a
popular resort for royalty and those of
great wealth. Among the celebrated per
sons who have stayed at Aix waa Queen
Victoria : in fact, so much did she think
of Aix that she planned to buy property
there and build a summer residence.
The king of Italy, Napoleon III. Queen
Isabella, the empress of Austria, the
queen of Holland, the king of Belgium.
the king of Greece. Andrew Carnegie.
J. Pierpont Morgan. President Taft. va

CREER UP ! To young girls the sad
look In his face was romantic. They
thought him "interesting." Whenever
he attended a social affair he instinc
tively "made an entrance." He didn't
analyze to himself what he did ; he
simply followed his inclinations to draw
attention to his sadness. It had a kind
of distinguishing quality, which he felt.
Nobody was quite sure what he had to
be sad about. He had a mother, a fath
er, two married sisters, and two young
brothers, all In good health and good
circumstances. He had a home free
from debt: he had enjoyed special edu
cational advantages. Perhaps he had
not been cared for by the best hygienic
principles during his childhood, but he
wasn't sad about that because he didn't
know any better himself. He wasn't
disappointed in love, because the only
woman he evinced any feeling for re
turned his affection In kind. He had
nothing on earth to do but looit arter
himself In his own chosen profession.

Independence for outdoor recreation at

well set, his nose a model of aristocracy

melancholy. The burden of his song

He did not find It romantic or senti
ment Inspiring. He had the same at
titude toward it that any specialist
would have toward a case of disease
a desire to help. For Indeed this young
man was an object of sadness, although
not for the reason he himself would
have ascribed, but because he was a
sick man.
The sad young man did not remain
loijg at the lively party. He was too
sad. Several in the room noticed the
particular look of interest which had
come Into the alienist's face when the
young man entered. They plied him with
questions.
"Sadness to such a marked decree
is generally illness." he told them. "Of
course I have not examined into this
young man's case, but I have seen
patients of that typo who developed this
sad sickness to that point out of which
suicides occur. For absolutely no rea
son at all except his inner derangement
you are liable some day to see such a
man coid over in the corner. On the
other hand, some special change of cir
cumstances or the strenuous efforts of
a wise friend or doctor can sometimes
save a person of this type by turning the
current of his life and thoughts Into
more favorable channels. Such persons
often have cheer, mirth and play-making
machinery which has become rusty
through nonuse, but can be oiled, so
to speak, and net in motion. Ranch
life, with plenty of companions ana
strenuous horseback riding would be
beneficial. A daily swim, congenial
mental employment, amusement, whole
some diet, plenty of rest, forced social
life among Jolly young persons and the
education of his perception into his weak
ness, so as to employ the aid of his own
will In correction of the condition, might
save a tragedy."

How the Flathead Indians Prized Pe
culiarity Was Produced.
The chief peculiarity of the Flathead
Indians is known to most people, but
the method employed to obtain the so-
called flathead appearance is not uni
versally understood. The flattening of
tne ioreneaa. contrary to popular belief,
caused no pain to the child. At birth.
the bones of the head of a child are very
soft. When the Indian baby had been
properly wrapped and bound to its
wooden cradle, a small bag about four
inches wide -and eight long, filled with
feathers or some other soft substance,
was placed upon the forehead and
bound tight. The baby was then nursed
to sleep. The bandage was taken off
when the child awoke. The treatment
was continued for approximately eight
months, the baby being always flat on
its back during the period the bag was
on. The weight of the feathers grad
ually cansed the head to flatten as It
grew, producing the highly desired and
equally hideous effect of s flat, smooth
forehead.
