WASHINGTON, D. C., July b. Secretary of the Interior Lanes con- .seryation policy, which makes the rate of compensation exacted for con- sessions of natural resources de- pendent upon the amount of bene- fits derived from the development by the public has met with immediate approval by the democratic leaders in both the senate and house of representatives.
 The national legislators in charge of conservation measures predicted that the Lane policy would be en- bodied in measures for the develop ment of natural resources which will come before congress at the regular session next winter.
 The first opportunity to apply the principle was afforded by the legisla- tion for opening up Alaska. Senator Chamberlain of Oregon reported to the senate the bill framed by the committee on territories for the construction of a government railroad system in Alaska and for the mining of the rich coal lands which it will tap.
 The committee holds that the ex- perience of the government in con- structing the Panama Canal has shown the necessity of the president having free hand, unembarrassed by an intervening commission. The bill, which provides for $40, 0,000,000 bond issue for the construction of the railroad system has the approval of the administration, and will be pressed to passage in the senate as soon as possible.
 Secretary Lane has enunciated the principle of true conservation, '' said Senator Chamberlain, chairman ,of the committee on public lands I Natural resources are of no value unless they are used for the fullest benefit of the people of this, as well as of future generations. The gov ernment should not part title to valu. able water powers and other re. sources but should grant the right to their development on terms fair tc both the corporations and the con. sumers.
 "The secretary is right in exactins a compensation for water that shal be reduced as the amount of power developed increases and as the rate charged consumers for electricity is decreased.
 "The corporation to which tho grant is made, therefore, has an in
 centiye to increase the benefits tt
 consumers. This is a proposal tha ought to be applied to mines, forests
 and other resources. I shall favor i
 in all conservation legislation"

GIRL FROM RECTORS"

One Of the brightest and most fasci-
mating of comedies is THE Girl From
Rector's," which enjoyed a successful
run of over one year at Weber and
Fields Music Hall, New York This
sensational hit will play an engage
ment of one night at the Opera House
Monday, Feb. oath.
The plot deals with the infatuation
of a Michigan lady with life in New
York and leads up to subsequent side
splitting situations on her return to
her native place and her recognition
by those who had enjoyed life with her
in gay New York, which causes some
of the most absurd entanglements ever
presented in a comedy. In acting AMI
staging. it is altogether lacking in any
thing in the line of vulgarity or dou-
BILE entendre. This is the number one
and only company playing this comedy
on the road this season and the pro-
duction will be staged with all the nee
essary scenery and properties AS
this attraction has never played Amer
icus before, no doubt a large crowd
will see it-Advt

What is the difference between the
person whom every one likes and the
person whom nobody likes?"
One has developed her personality
The other has an undeveloped person
I atty. And any of us has to give is
ourselve. The attractive person, the
magnetic person. the person with
charm, is one who gives of herself,
her thoughts. In other words, she
frankly though gently, shares her
point of view"
Which, summed up, means, accord
ing to this charming apostle of the
complete personality, that to raise
ourselves to the hundredth power Of
efficiency and attractiveness, We
must be natural with emphasis. We
must break the jail of self.
ITO find yourself you must lose
yourself" Miss Sandal quoted the
paradox. ITO lose yourself you must

BE yourself raised to the hundredtl
power"
Every intelligent woman has a
message to her sex in this womans
hour, and a thoughtful woman is glad
to convey it. Miss Mary Sandal is
both intelligent and thoughtful.
Moreover, she is young and extremely
attractive incidentally, she teaches
classes in the smart set the value and
cultivation of personality. 1t was of
personality she was talking when she
delivered the message ] have quoted
THE trouble with most persons,
especially women, is that they do not
show forth themselves, but somebody
else Listen to the chatter at the next
tea or reception where you happen to
be, and listen to the conversation
The girls and women are all saying
the same thing. You might as well
Introduce a graphophone into the
room. 1t would repeat as faithfully
what you will hear Isn't it lovely?
Isn't she sweet?' Isn't he nice? Pm
just crazy about it., All this ready
made language is as cheap as shoddy
clothing, and as ill-ftting and I'M
becoming. What women need is to
be themselves, developed to the utter
most-themselves raised to the hum-
dredth power. 1t is every woman ;
duty to enhance her personality"
What is personality" I asked
without any hope of a satisfying
answer l had asked it from persons
who repeat, parrot-like, the words
magnetism" personality" and
charm" and who when pressed for a
definition, reply with vacuous stares.
To my surprise, this slim, gray-eyed,
delicate-faced girl replied without an
instant's pause:
Personality is the expressed point
of view"
Then that is all there is of a per-
son, his or her point of view?"
Practically all 1t is what they
think of things Not their poor, fool
ish appearances. Those appearances
are mosaic of what other people
think and do and say. But it is an
immensely important thing. 1t is in
the physic world what radium is IN
the physical.

al you'd like to see her, an

never had real chance to express
herself in her life. If we knew her

Every woman who recalls that

q mode of hair dressing which is and

of all beginners. Unless a girl has
confidence in her couture, she won't
look at all attractive. But at the same
time she must avoid a stiff or strain
ed appearance.
Indeed, she can do no better than
to adopt plated style. If she has
been accustomed to the nice friendly
feeling of schoolgirl plat, let her
begin by doing her hair just as in the
old days, parting it either in the mid
die or at one side
She must then draw the plat right
round her head, pinning it securely
in place as she goes along, and cast.
ening it at the back with a strong
clapslide. A big bow of black OIL
brown glace silk will hide any uu-
tidiness and take away the bare loos
of the nape of the neck.
This is a charming style both fol
school and for office; but in the even
ing our little lady being newly grown
up, may set her heart upon something
little more distinctive.
She must part her hair rather low
on the right hand side, and then tie &
soft ribbon round her head. After
this she should loop a front lock Of
hair over and under the ribon, allow
