Bring your hair and your hat out
over your forehead and do not wear
fluffy things under you chin in the
way of bows or ruches if your nose
is too short. ~
A nose that is too long is harder
to make beautiful. This time you
must wear your hair over your fore
head but rather fiat and you must
bring your chin into prominence with
rIffles beneath it.
The only nose that is impossible is
the nose that is always getting into
the business of other people. There
is nothing one can do to make any
one think that there is anything
about that kind of a nose that would
ornament any kind of a person.
However, if you are bit dubious
about the shape of your nose sit
down some day when you have time
and try doing your hair with refer
ence to it. Then try on your hats
and all your neck rigging and look
at your face from all angles and see
how your nose looks in every pose,
but, above all, remember that you
must not be kittenish and coy if you
have a Roman nose or dignifed and
soulful if it turns up the least little

Hoes and hoes with all his might,
Watching every plapted row
For. his garden stuff to grow.

He'll have peas and sassafras,

And a lot of other eats.

Munches everything in view,
And the bugs and beetles, all,
On the hopeful garden fall.

Down upon it from their coop,
And the dogs come in each day,
Burying their bones away,

CALENDAR
WEDNESDAY
CREATED

United Press
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. L.
Emasculation of the house rules Gre
ating Calendar Wednesday" the most
sacred "holy of holies'' in that body's
parliamentary traditions, will occur
when the next house is organized.
Representative Lenroot of Wiscon-
sin stated today that the house lead
ers, Democrats, Republicans and Pro-
gressives, had decided to change the
procedure under debate of bills on
the Wednesday calendar to one hour,
except in cases where a majority vote
of the house suspends the changed
rule.
Such a change would prevent kill
ing" of a bill by talking it to DEATH"
1t would also prevent succe. ST III op-
Grafton of a f;hDuster, by pro.racted
debate on measure to prevent con-
sideration of some other bill. This
situation became critical last week
after an all day filibuster Wednesday
oH Il iHihof Dlli pOSlpOieu coHSlueTd-
tion of the resolution to establish the
Lincoln memorial here. Last summer
a similar filibuster prevented pas
sage Of the Burnett illingham i'm
migration bill.
Establishment of "Calendar We'd
nesday" for free and unrestricted
consideration of any bill on the gen
eral calendar was reform involved in
the overthrow of former Speaker Can
non by the insurgents.
Other amendments to the house
rules proposed are to establish new
suspension calendar" and another to
extend debate on conferees reports
from forty minutes to one hour Cur
tailment of the speakers power to
recognize member to move suspen-
sion of the rules for passage of a
bill of which the majority of mem
bers are ignorant is aimed at in the
former amendment.
Efforts to change the rules govern
ing appointment of committees are
not planned by the ''progressives."

to be much more contented than at
first. Much of his time is spent. in
reading or in conversation with the
prison attendants and the few inmates
with whom he has struck up an in

his days has been considerably re-
lieved by a magnificent phonograph
presented to him by his mother. So

new PLAN
PROPOSED
BY k|ND[[

United Press
DENVER, Feb. LIN an open let
ter to Postmaster General Hitchcock
and the interstate commerce commits
sion, Congressman-elect George Kin
del has proposed an entirely new
schedule of parcel post rates, asking
that they be adopted in lieu of the
existing schedule. He contends that
the present schedule is discriminative
and arranged upon AN entirely unset
entific basis.
His schedule provides for nine zones
instead of eight. To find the rate
that would apply on a package of any
size to any point outside the first
zone it is only necessary to multiply
the number of pounds by the number
of the zone into which the package is
to be sent and add three.
For example, the rate on nine
pound package mailed to point in
the ninth zone would be nine times
nine, plus three, or 81 cents. In the
first zone the rates are found by add
ing four to the number of pounds in
the package.
The Kindel system would reduce
parcel post rates in the aggregate
