He SHOWS UP
Mr.. SCHlvElY

]. H. Schively, who as an attache
of Sec. Nichols Office at Olympia
earned newspaper notoriety by fill
ing his name as candidate for in
surance commissioner before as
pirants not in Office were given
opportunity to do so, has aroused
some interest among insurance
men by stating that his principal
enterprise If elected will be the Sc
curing of an appropriation for the
employment of a state actuary. The
actuary would do the work ex-
pected of the insurance commits
sioner and make the latter's job
very comfortable to a man of ele-
waited tastes.
Mr.. Schively also says that his
record as deputy commissioner is
well known throughout the state,
which is correct. 1t IS we'll known
as about of the same quality as that
of Secretary of State Nichols,
which is the worst that can be said
of anything.
Albert Helander, also a candi-
date for insurance commissioner,
handles Schively's proposition i'll
this fashion:

surance commissioner to do is to
get busy and put the insurance

to conduct the Office just the op-
posite to the way it has been con-

The commissioner should exam

wildcat schemes, prosecute com.
panies doing illegal business and
extend special favors to none.
Having had actuarial and expert
accountant experience, | believe
am thoroughly competent to exam

sponsible to the people through a
deputy. What the state need3 is
men in Office capable of perform

What is the secret of the peculiar
something that women call
style? How can it be gained?
Why is it that some people-men
as well as women-always present
a good appearance even if their
clothes are cheap and shabby, while
certain other people always look
common and "slouchy," no matter
how fine or expensive their
dress? Some people have style,
and some people-the vast majority
have not. Now, how can the
people who have no style" gain it?
What is the secret of style?
The secret of style may be ex'
pressed in two wOrds-carriage
and movement. The man who
carries his body and chest up and
forward, shoulders back and face
turned to the sky; the woman who
walks easily and freely, with chest

clothed in broadcloth and satin.
