sion of the General Federation of
Womens Clubs. Here again were
gathered the leaders in that gigantic
quest for the essential elements OF
culture which characterized the first
biennial.
THAT quest for culture could now be
seen in relation to the social sympathy
which is being translated into public
policies and political action. At no
other session has such an array OF
topics and speakers emphasized the
women's imperative insistence upon
better industrial and social condt-
tions.
/ Now, as in the past in many locali-
ties. even such live topics as these may
continue to be only themes for dis
cussion. Even so they are initiatives.
They gather the fuel which the fire or
action will sooner or later set aflame.
Miss Adams wildly described the pro-
cess:
Society, has a curious trick of sud-
denly regarding as living issue, vital
and unappeasable, some old, outworn
theme which has been kicked about for
years as mere controversial material.
The newly moralized issue. almost as
If by accident, suddenly takes fire and
sets whole communities in a blaze,
lighting up human relations and pub
lie duty with new meaning, and trans
forms abstract social idealism into vio-
lent practical demands, altho still en-
tangled with the widest human as
piration.

RUNS AZ MILES AN HOUR.
Woman Drives Her Motorboat at High
Speed

0PSSu.
To drive a motorboat thru the waite.
al top speed requires plenty of nerve,
strength and endurance. Many men are
not able to stand the strain at the
wheel of a high-powered boat. And the
women who can drive the speedy craft
thru the water at what is fast clip for
the average automohlist are very few
indeed. Among the women motorooat
drivers Mrs. Alfred Graham Miles,
daughter of George c. Boldt, the hotel
man. stands pre- eminent.
Here is the honor of driving P. D. @.
~ in the fastest time ever made by q
motorboat with woman at the wheel.
Recently she sent the 22-foot boat thru
the waters of Alexandria bay at the rate
of forty seven miles an hour in a speed
test Boatmen and motorboat experts
around the ST. Lawrence waters are
still talking of her feat.
After a record breaking performance
she did not seem to think her feat was
such n noteworthy one. She was not
the least bit shaken by her speedy trip
thru waters which were none too
smooth. She shook the water off her
oilskins. removed the masklike arrange
ments which protected her face. and
said she thought she could do better on
another trial-New York World.

Are Wrinkles Caused
BY Modern Social Life?

Often the papers and magazines have
made the rather broad statement that
modern social life is the only cause for
wrinkles. Undoubtedly modern social
life contributes some to the existence of
wrinkles. but one can hardly say 1t is
the cause. However, wrinkles do
come and old age has never made for
attractiveness, so we use the best means
to resist the tell-tale marks. search
for the very best in wrinkle eradicators
has brought us to this formula for an
economical vegetable jelly cream as the
simplest wrinkle remover and skin
stimulator. Its mask-1ike action pro-
tects the surface while 1t stimulates the
blood vessels to perform their upbuiid-
ing work. Just get from your druggist
an ounce of almozoin, put II into a fruit
jar and add half a pint Of water. Be
fore retiring apply rather thickly over
wrinkled or fiabby surface and allow 1t
to dry. It will harden rapidly and you
will note slight tightening of the skin.
In the morning remove with hot water
and note the Immediate effect which
you will ind lasting.

the government may be called upon
without additional compensation, to
furnish Information to the bureau as "a
the character and value of lands Of
fered as security for loans, and the
board of control may make the usual
provisions for carefully appraising the
land on the ground before loans are
made. United State district attorneys
are required by the bill to prosecute
foreclosure proceedings where loans
are foreclosed. ~.
Payments 60 Postnastsrs.
Another unique feature OF the bill is
the provision that in making payments
either of interest or principal, 1.-The
person making such payment may pay
the same to the postmaster designated
by said commissioner Of the bureau
of farm loans and sucn postmaster
shall Immediately notify the bureau of
said payment. and the transmission of
the money so paid" The bureau has
the right to sue and ne sued. ana
lands obtained by the bureau under
foreclosure proceedings may be dis
posed of at sale by 1t.
The bill carries an appropriation OF
800 900 to start the machinery. AS 1T
seeks to utilize all the existing ma
chinery of the government. the cost OF
operating the bureau would evidently
be very small. OF course the amount
Of money now in the postal savings
system would not meet fraction of
the demand for farm lands. but the
postmaster general has stated that the
removal of the limitation OH deposits
would result in doubling the amount on
deposit almost Immediately. That the
amounts so deposited in the govern
ment banks would enormously increase
is evident. This bill really proposes
to allow the people of the country Q
lend themselves money. Postal savings
constitute the savings Of the workers
and the small farmers. If this money
could be utilized to finance farmers
in the work of supplying the food that
the country needs, without the inter-
position of the private banker, with his
rake-off of private profits, everybody
