LOCAL MAN I'M GERMANY
Is CERTAIN OF VICTORY

Writing from Breslau, Germany. to
secure copies Of The News-Times con-
tanning the story of the world base
ball series, Felix Elicwsky, decorator,
formerly of 1910 w. Jefferson blvd.
sends best wishes to friends, and
especially members of the Turn
Nerein society. He also advances as
surances that Germany Will win, GO
ahead" being its motto
Elicwsky says it makes him laugh
to read of the people over here anti
cipating that Germany is TO be starved
out in this war. Germany, according
TO his reminder, is doin gifts lighting
on the soil Of the enemy and means
to continue doing So which leaves
the homeland intact and as produc-
tive as ever so far as concerns agri-
cultural production. Manufacturing
alone is affected by the absence of
the men at the front. but at that
enough are left in the shops TO sup
ply the cOuntrys own needs.

Too Much Beauty
is Going to Waste
Women Advised by Clever
Actress to Make Hobbies
of Themselves.

There is so much beauty going to
waste in the world! And, what is
more, there are so many useless hob
bies! If women would only combine
the two, how much better it would
be for everyone!
The thing TO do, then. is to make
hobby of ones self. That may sound
selfish, but it isn't, when one considers
the attraction to be gained. Then, too,
L don't think it is ever selfish to make
a hobby Of ones charms TO the extent
of preventing the world from produce
ing one more homely woman. Yes, it
is really as important as that
The thing that women of today are
doing is frequently obliterating any
beauty that they may have through a
misunderstanding Of what they pos
sess. Unless you understand your
type and know exactly how TO go
about bringing out your good points,
you will frequently go too far in the
other direction, quite ignorantly, until
you come up against a good friend
who may give you a pointer.
often girls come to me and in de-
spair ask me how to make up so as
TO accentuate their good points. On
the stage we use make mp TO give
US what we really don't possess. Some
of us are fortunate enough to be beau
tiful, others are not, and so the clever
girls ingenuously pick out the best
features they have and go to work
to accentuate them. That is exactly
what must be done off the stage. A
girl should pick out her best feature
and subordinate all her other less at
tractiVe ones so that a person in talk
ing to her would look no farther than
her prettiest feature and judge the
ngfp I'M hn
assure you, but it means lots of work.
All beauty comes essentially from the
brain. and no brainless woman, L don't
care if her features are perfect, is at
tractive.
"She must be clever about some
thing or else she won't have the brain
capacity to live up to her features,
and people viii say after she has
lived a lifetime, that they never
thought her pretty. That is because
she had the features, but she didn't
understand how to make them stand
out.
81 should advise every girl to wake
up. Look in the mirror and see if
you can't face some feature that is
worth improving or putting on eXhi |
bitiOn, as it were. | once knew a girl
who had the most marvellous eye
laShes / have ever seen, and yet there
was nothing else about her especially |
attractive, not even her eyes.
But she was determined to be pref |
ty. and so she cultivated her eye |
lashes She made them even more |
curly and beautiful than they were, |
and in time people noticed the way
they curled away from her eyes, and !
remarked about it. one thing led to |
another, and she was soon considered |
dangerously attractive, just because
of her laShes
ANY girl can do the same if she
wants TO badly enough, and any one
can look homely at will-we all know
that. try never to look hOmely, even
when / am alone. | think that helps,
too"

MARKET REPORT
New York Cotton

New York, Sept. 16.-It was announ-
ced today by the conference committee
in charge Of the liquidation of the
straddle interest on the New York
Cotton Exchange that the price would
DO reduced to $50 for January-Seb-
ruary in Lieerpool and $50 for De-
cembcr in New York tomorrow. Some
such action had been more or less
generally expected and hope was ex-
pressed in local circles that the cut
ting, down of the price you'd lead to
'nlore>active liquidation in Liverpool.
There was no balloting for orders
here today, notwithstanding the sales
recently reported from the Liverpool
stock, and so far only 1000 bales of
the New York interest have been lipui-
lated. under the plans of the interna-
tional conference. The slow progress
)f tho liquidation is Offset to some ex-
tent, however. by reports that the syn
dictate plan now seems likely to GU
through and hv reports of further ed
vance &, tsia Southern spei markets,

day being about IA higher. Contin-
