i BEAVERTON TIMES BEAVKRTON, OBECOS, FRIDAY, MAY 5, 1H22. PAINTED BY GREAT ARTISTS j In Olden Days Men of Genius Turned Out Swinging Signs That Wen Really Attractive. The staring signs that hare to long offended, the eye on the tops ef build lugs ultimately will be removed sim ply fur the reason of public safety. Bwrds of tire underwriters object that the structures not only serve to spread the flumes, but greatly hinder the fire man's work. One might wish that Uw mandate Included all the encroach menu of the signboard, remarks the Kansas City Star. Man diligently advertised his wares even before the day of the frescoed goat over the Ponjpeilan dairy. But In those old days the desire tor cus tom was tempered by a aest for art. The floating cupid. pictured in front of as ancient sandal makers' shop, bal ancing one sandal on the curly head and waving the mate In his chubby hand, if a thing of beauty as well as a symbol of trade. The picturesque winging boards of some generations past were outgrowths ef the display of armorial beatings and heraldic crests, sumptuous and pleasing to the eye. In days gone by artists of note did not scorn to try a prentice hand on orh signs. The "Mule and Muleteer," an early work of Cnrreggio, was orig inally painted for an Inn. Many a royal academician has given the pub lic a lion or a unicorn. The age of artistic sign painting received Its death .blow In the reign of George Q when soch erections fell under the bead of "street nuisances." ADVANTAGE IN "AUBURN" HAIR According to This, It Qlvta Ita Pos sessor a Distinct Start In Matrimonial Race. If yon are a girl and have red hair, pay no attention to those who nick name yon "Carrots." It will not bo sign of their disrespect, but of their jealously, asserts London An ewere. An eminent doctor has Just ex pressed the opinion that the rod-haired woman has a distinct advantage over nil ethers In the matrimonial race. Man is attracted by the subtle shades of copper and red In girl's hair, and this explains why "henna" dye la no popular. The girt who calls you "Carrots" the loudest wilt be the first to try the effect of "henna" herself. To complete the conquest, a batter milk complexion most be added. If yon do not possess one naturally, there tf7 be hope for you If yon give up flesh food and become a vegetarian, living on fruits, cream, salads, ralsluB, and honey. But, remember this a woman's graces must be natural, or thev will not outlive the glamor of courtship. No self-respecting mnn will like to feel that his love has been captured hv dves and diet.

It looks as If the problem of the waifs and strays of Cairo was going to receive at last serious attention. After much Insistence on the part of some public-spirited officials a spe cial school for boys of this class ha been opened in the environs of Cairo, where they will be looked after and trained by the government without their having committed some crime to admit them into the reformatory, pre viously the only Institution of the kind. Nothing so far has been done for the girl children, though another home la promised for this purpose. It la there fore satlsfaciory to hear of the forma tion of an organisation called the "Brotherhood Federation," ostensibly nonsectarlan and international, with the object of looking after and Im proving the lot of the child waifs gen erally. A meeting recently held In support of this movement waa given much prominence in the local English papers, but in spite of Its Intimate bearing on a purely Egyptian problem none of the Arabic papers appears to have given the matter any publicity. Christian Science Monitor. Progressed by Slow Stages. Thirty years ago the men of Hart shay, a hamlet of Derbyshire, England, were accustomed to meet at a bridge on the edge of the town, where they would read the papers and discuss events. This was al) right in summer time, bnt la the winter it was 'differ ent and they would occasionally ad journ to a sheltered' spot under the bridge. From this they moved into c rack-ed pigsty and later annexed an othei pigsty. This rude building wan unproved by their own efforts until it was a fairly comfortable place. From this humble origin there is now a rather pretentious library, with the beat paperr and magazines and a stock of good books. Willed Everything Away.

That Hull came to Boston to teach his fathers method of visible speech, was due to the insistence of 1 a New England womnu, Miss Sarah 1 Fuller, principal of the Horace Munn School for Deiif Mutes. Miss Fuller so impressed the Boston school board with the Importance of this method of Instruction for the un fortunate children under her care, that, after vainly trying to secure of Bell's father, who had Invented the system, the board, upon his recom mendation, offered the son, Alexander Graham Bell, $500 to come to Boston and give a course of instruction at the Bchool. He went there April 1, 1871, and thereafter divided his time between teaching the theory of visible speech to the teachers, and In practical In structions to the pupils. In 1872 he opened a normal school for teachers. In 1873 he accepted an appointment as professor of vocal physiology In the school of oratory of Boston university. In 1875, Professor Bell made the happy discovery that led to the Inveuttou of the telephone. He was then twenty eight years old. IRELAND UNDER ALIEN RULE Power ef the Danes Broken by Brian Boru In 1014 Normans Became Amalgamated. About 800 A. D., the pagan hosts of the Northmen and Danes fell on Ireland with fierce destruction. After a century of destruction, Irish kings led their people In a succession of ware, for tbe deliverance of their country, and Brian Borama, or Brian Born (928-1014), king of Huniter, by his great victory In the battle of Clon tarf, on April 28, 1014, finally broke the power of the Danes In Ireland, In 1171 Ireland was Invaded by tbe Nor mans 'from England, Id the time of Henry II, and Its conquest began, "In Ireland." to quote the words of Prof. Edward A. Freeman (1828-1802) "the Norman was more purely a conqueror than anywhere else, but In Ireland bis power of adaptation caused him to sink In a way In which he sank no where else.
