THAT DEPENDS.

nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
- Is il proper for a girl to be-
gin the spondence with a
man.
II girl gets an invitation to
a dance or party. is ii proper for
her to ask a man to go with her
if It is a pay affair? f. NJ. F.
The answer to your first question
can not be decisive for the reason
that you tell so little.
II is never proper for girl to write
to a man she does not know, and 1t
is for her best good that she write
rarely to those she knows
To your second question: Most de-
cidedly no.

The Hair.

You wash your hair more times than
the old-fashioned theories taught you
to-you brush It all the time. whenever
YOU get a chance. and you don't curl it
any of the time, and then when IL is
brushed and washed into a clean fresh
mass you dress It as smoothly and
gracefully as possible. and keep it in
its proper place as background for your
face.
And as for skin. when you have OBJ
served the rules Of keeping your inter
nal system sweet and clean. you do the
same by externals Keep the skin clean
and unclogged and free to do some cor
rect breathing Of it's own, and then
make IL soft and flexible by the con-
slant use Of good cold cream"
Perhaps all this sounds like constant,
uuceasing hard work. II you feel dis
couraged before ever you begin-look
earnestly at Miss Barnard's beautiful
arms and shoulders. at the perfect sym

preach "a contamination so devoutly to

Entering Wedge

TWO Socialists are helping make
laws in Nevada. Mr.. Seaman in the
Senate and Mr.. Davis in the Assem-
bly,. Had anyone stated six years
ago that Nevada would be dickering
with the Socialists in Legislation they
would have been ho~rse-laughed. The
men in both cases are the real Social
lists. the kind who are advocating
just legislation and not radicals. That
is what sem them t o Carson.
The Appeal has advised the two
old parties for the past ten years to
be a little more liberal and look with
favor on Socialistic measures. and It
has been the only paper in Nevada to
openly advocate such issues. A re
view OF the late election shows that
the Socialists hold the balance OF
power. They can trim either party
by unison and determination. The
old hulk OF politics is beginning t.
snap and crack with the enterine
wedge of Socialism.

Better Protection

AS SCIENCE advances. and as the
days Of modernism come, better pro-
lection is advocated and enacted IN
each state for its workinSmen. Ii
is admitted that the workingman IS
the sinue OF the country. The man
born of millions could be dispensed
with without hindrancc to the world.
Take the workingman from his stool.
his bench or his labors. and the pro-
ducing element ceases. The wheels
would be idle by neglect and the pro-
gress of usefulness stop Immediately
This is admitted by all economists.
1t is to better his condition thai.
the laws are enacted. Better hours.
more congenial surroundings. better
weight in his LIES necessities. and
more sanitary conditions.

Cole of Nye, who is a practical miner.
