WILSON'S ADDRESS
PRAISED BY DAVE
Editor Tells Y. M. E.. A. Member No
Such Speech Was Made in
America Before.

The great danger now facing the
republic" declared G. Grosvenor Dave
editor OF the Nations Business. the Off
cial paper of the Chamber of Commerce
OF the United States, in the course Of a
lecture delivered last night before the
educational department OF the Y. NJ
c. A, "is furnished by the carelessness
OF the States in dealing with their
problems. Thus the neglect of social
legislation on the part of the States
has meant the drawing of extra ma
tional subjects into the national field"
Mr.. Dawes lecture was entitled
Politics and the Nations Growth" II
formed one Of a series of twelve free
public addresses dealing with various
phases of the nations business.
I'm all our political history" Mr.
Dave asserted. there has been no such
inaugural address as that pronounced
this week by Woodrow Wilson. For
the first time it brought into national
light the social conscience which has
been stirring in this country for the
past twenty-five years at least. Will
sons summons for counsel in meeting
his problems is not a party summons:
ii is a summons sent out by great
soul to the souls that should be
great"
Mr.. Dave maintained that all politi-
cal parties. whether good or bad,
served a useful purpose in periodically
jolting the voters out of their daily
routine and making them think upon
national problems. thus broadening
their mental horizon.

Cor night. 1918. by the Associated ENewspapa
School. Inc
In history you come to know Gen
George. Washington. In Mount Vernon
you come to know the man himself
You understand how he could accomplish
such great things; especially do you
understand the love and respect he in
spired.
Somehow you feel that the spirit OF
Washington is welcoming you to his
home. that he has for you a personal
message that will make you a better
citizen, a finer human being. This mes
sage is expressed in every individual
thing.
The alchemy of the Intoxicating odors
from the lovely flower garden which the
General designed himself makes you feel
the presence of Washington very plainly.
Pause at the office of the estate; look
in at the spinning house, the carpenter
shop: gaze out across the back lawn past
the sun dial to the bowling green; turn
into the old stable and examine the
antique stage coach with its rich trap

note the great fireplace, crane and spits
All these will tell you Of Washington

HIGH HEELS ARE
COMING IN AGAIN

The Cuban heel is giving place grad

The sudden revival of interest in the
extremely low heel which was witnessed
a year ago has almost entirely disap-
pcared. The very high heel holds highest
favor.
Tan and bronze shoes are characterized
by a very high polish: the more brilliant

SOME BRIEF HINTS
FOR GOOD LOOKS

When the hair splits clip the ends.
For ink stains on the fingers try lemon
and salt.
One dram of boric acid mixed with
four ounces of distilled witch hazel
makes good lotion for a greasy skin.
Apply with a soft cloth or velvet sponge.
To whiten finger nails and improve
the hands cut a fresh lemon in two and
rub well at night. Wash Off in warm
water the next morning. This same treat
ment is excellent for stains on the hands.
Soap and water are needed to remove
blackheads. which are caused by dirt
collecting in the pores. After rinsing
the face in clean water rub over II a
piece OF ice. This will contract the pores.
After drying the skin apply witch hazel

When Frying Dough nuts.

When frying doughnuts take the ham
die from a lard pail. straighten it out,
curving it slightly at one end, and in
sert the other end in handle whitfield
from a piece of pine. The doughnuts
are easily turned with this, and, when
done, the whole frying can be slipped
on the wire and removed at one time. 1t
is better than a fork.
