LESSON VII-PART III
THE EFFECT OF COLOR ON THE
SKIN
Discard Senseless Rules

Discard Senseless Rules
Our grandmothers had certain rules
in this regard that must have miti-
gated strongly against their appear
ance, especially as their color card Ia
regard to wearing apparel was limited
In those days dark people were sup
posed to wear red, blondes and auburn
haired blue, while widows and all wom-
en- over 40 We're confined to unrelieved
black. Most cut and dried color rules
are stupid, for, broadly speaking, any
woman can wear any color if the shade
is carefully chosen, and these rules
seem particularly irritating. for they
are quite opposed to the first canons of
artistic dressing.
COlOrs for Blondes
Most blondes have light blue eyes.
This type can often wear pale blue, IL
the blue is at all deep, it will kill tho
color in the eyes and make them ap-
pear green or gray. A fair blonde
without much color looks far better in
red. which adds color to the cheeks
and. by forming a contrast to the blue
in the eyes, emphasizes their color.
Sandy blondes with no pronounced
color in cheeks or hair and with eye
brows not strongly marked generally
need strong colors such as red or green
to offset this monotony, thus forming
what we would term an agreeable con-
trast. There are some cases, however,
where such a type appears well in the
soft pastel shades of blue, mauve and
rose the soft colors harmonizing with
the delicacy of the face. This apparent
contradiction is but an illustration of
the fact that we cannot lay down abso-
lutte rules for different types.

Disposition to Gauge"

The trouble. however, has all been
brought about by a disposition ON the
part of the district to "gouge" the gov
ernment and get every dollar II could.
In this there is nothing to dfferentiate
the district from every congressional dis
trict in the country. but it has been the
cause of certain members of Congress to
hint at graft and to make tie District
appropriation bills an issue Of economy
So II can be seen that the district has
brought much of the trouble now on it's
own hands down upon itself.
An over-zealous newspaper in Wash
ington. however. did more 20 endanger
the districts chances of retaining the
half and half plan than any other one
thing. This paper came out with a story
to the effect that there was an organi-
cation of the district that proposed to
wage a political warfare against all those
congressman who had voted for tie
Crisp resolution, and endeavor to defeat
them for reelection. This story precip-
itated lively debate in the House, the
membership of which shys like a back
woods mule at touring car, when
question of their reelection comes up.
The House of Representatives on this oc-

Crisp Introduced Bill

Early in this session. therefore, MI.
Crisp introduced a bill in the House that
If passed in effect destroyed the half and
half plan and placed the burden of the
support of the municipal government of
the District of Columbia upon the
shoulders, at least I'm most part, of the
taxpayers of<the city. Mr. Crisp's bill
was favorably reported by the district
committee. of which Representative Ben
johnson of Kentucky is chairman, and
was to have been made an amendment t.
the district appropriation bill. but un-
favorable sentiment among the leader,
prevented this.
As matter of fact, every one who il
familiar with the situation knows that
the citizens of Washington are taxed.
Just the same as the citizens of every
other city. The tax rate In Washington
Will compare in amount to any other
city of its size in the country. Also it
is certain fact that If the entire bur
den of the city was thrown upon its Il
liens it would be impossible to maintain
| the nations capital decently.
Washington is different from any other
city in the country. over so per cent of
the area within the city limits is in streets
and parks Almost, if not one-half OF
the property belongs to the government.
With these great parks and streets and
the immense amount of property owned
by the government 1t is nothing but righ
that the government ought to bear its
proportion of the expenses of the city
government. In addition to this no citizen
of the republic wants the capital of tins,
nation to be anything else but the great
city that 1t is. He does not begrudge the
liberality that Congress has been disposed
to show toward Washineton

SWEEPING ORDINANCE
NOT YET UNDERSTOOD
Aimed To Prevent Dust Durino Busi.
ness Hours From Sidewalks.

Failure to understand the new side
walk sweeping ordinance caused two
citizens lot of trouble If nothing
more today when they we're hailed
into the police court. C. M. Finley
and w. C. Gaulas were tired for the
violation of the requirements of the
ordinance, but were released by the
mayor on account of the newness of
the law with the warning, however.
that he next offender would meet
with punishment and that ignorance
hereafter will not be an excuse.
The ordinance, which is for the pro.
lection of the lungs of the people Of
Hattiesburg, requires that no tardy
shopkeeper is to sweep his sidewalk
without first sprinkling.. Shopkeepers
who wait until after o'clock to be-
gin their sweeping when people are
coming down to work we're the cause
of the commission passing the ordi
nance.
The comedy in the police court was
furnished this morning by HON Kin
Chinese laundryman, trying to prose
cute r. X. Holmes on the charge Of
assault and battery. Holmes, accord
ing to the Chinamans testimony, los
his ticket and threatened to tear uI
the shop unless he got his laundry
out. Hon Kim fled to the police fol
protection. The suit failed because
HON could not show that Holmes lait
his hands on him. He also charged
that Holmes cursed him.
Mack Bowen was convicted Of as
sault and battery on Soloman Lisch
koff and fined $3.50. ]. S. Black wal
fined $3.50 for being drunk.

McHenry School
Burned to Ground
by hcendiaries
J. S. ADkiSON, MAYOR, TELE-
PHONES FOR BLOODHOUNDS
TO TRACE CRIMINALS

The public school building at Nc
Henry was burned to the ground short
ly after midnight by fire thought to
have been of incendiary origin. The
school house was a two-story frame
structure and was wrapped in flames
before the fire was discovered. Moth
ing could be done to save the building
and the people of the community had
to stand idly by while it burned.
J. S. Adkison, mayor of McHenry,
telephoned to A. E. HARRISON, sheriff,
here last hight for bloodhounds to
trace the criminal who set fire to the
building. AS there are no dogs here
he was referred to Crystal Springs
and the bloodhounds and their keeper
are now on the way to McHenry tc
assist the local authorities.
In telephone conversation with
The News today, Mr.. Addison said
that school will be held on Monday in
vacant store while preparations are
being made for rebuilding. He says
the fire is undoubtedly of incendiary
origin, but that he is at a loss to un
derstand the motives of the persons
who set fire to the building.
The building was total loss and Il
will be several months before it car
be replaced. Steps will be taken a
once, he says, to build a new and mod
ern school building.

NURSERY NEWEST
CHURCH BOOSTER
Check Your Babies at the Door, Says
Pastors Wife.

st. Louis, Mo-, Oct. 23.-No more
will babies cry at the services Of the
McCausland Avenue Presbyterian
Church, nor, on the other hand, will
mothers feel obliged to stay away from
church because they have no one with
whom to leave their babies. For the
new pastors wife, Mrs. David Reiter,
is to open church nursery next Sun
day. She will care personally for all
the babies the mothers choose TO
bring. "
The idea has made a hit with the
parishoners, for Mrs. Reiter has two
children of her own and knows now
to care for the kiddies.

London, Oct. 23.-News dispatches
from Paris say the Germans have
brought up heavy reinforcements,
which have enabled them to strike the
allied lines with renewed vigor.
The French official statement this
afternoon, while not mentioning the
reinforcements, seems to bear out this
statement The official report says
the Germans are still conducting vio-
lent attacks along the extreme western
end of the battle line.
Generally speaking" the report re-
cites, "the situation of the allied forces
has been maintained. If the allies
have yielded at certain points, they
have progressed at Others"
The Germans are not confining their
activities to the region between the
the North Sea and LaBasse, although
the heaviest fighting is going on there.
They are striking at points along the
entire line, from North Sea to Belfort,
though as on yesterday, these attacks
do not appear to be the result of con-
certed action.
Canals Are Troublesome.
i. The Germans are hampered in their
operations in Belgium by the network
of canals to which they are not accus-
toned, and at certain points the coun-
, try has been flooded.
News from the Eastern theatre is
, still conflicting, but continued reports
of the Germans being repulsed in
: Poland are beginning to have weight.
. A Petrograd news dispatch says the
!. German army in Poland is being trans.
:. formed into retreating mob.
Vienna reports that the Austrians
A are gaining ground and still maintains
that Hungary is free of Russians.
!. Jules Verne Dreams Realized.
In the fighting along the Belgian
coast naval and aircraft for the frs
time simultaneously aided the lant
troops. 1t is pointed out as strikingl,
s. singular that these dreams of julie
Verne were realized near his forme
home.
Today's reports on the whole seen
to indicate that the Germans in thi
region are fighting at disadvantage
