Beauty Seeking
BY LILLIAN RUSSELL.
Copyright, 1874. by Lillian Russell. |

Gcopyrieht. 1914. by Lillian RUSSELL
Every woman may be seeking beauty
OF one form or another, whether in
beauty or face or figure, or beauty of
intellect and common sense. After all
what most people are thinking about
ana striving for Is youth. Youth is
beauty, the beauty women fear 20
lose. yet lose quickly from sheer
neglect. 1T Is, like all worldly posses-
slons OF llttie interest until half lost
The freshness OF youth is the thing
that must DO cherished ana retained In
order TO be beautiful Having once
lost that indefinite something which
represents girlhood. age and heaviness
overtakc woman. How then To re
tain that girlhood? Don't merge your
personality In the personality OF
others. 30 not look 1T the world
through anothcr's eyes. Don't let an
other person color your life with ideas
other than your own. In short. retain
your own personality. cultivate your
own opinions. Don't always act upon
the advice OF others, think for your
self.
There arc too many women OF the
plant type. willing 10 let others think
for them and plan for them. allowing
their freshness and vitality to be- led
into channels foreign to their own de
sircs. while they might be creating for
themselves youth and cxubcraut beauty
with all OF it's howcry fragrance. BE
wary of taking advice from others:
you know what you like and dislike:
you know how TO decide IN important
problem as we'll as any one 1T is bet
ter for your moral development TO take
the initiative in deciding things per
tanning To your own happiness. Retain
your personality and you retain your
youth.
The only women who keep youth
for ages are the women who keep oc-
cupied. active In mind and body. Youth
cannot be cultivated In a rocking
chair YOU must be up and doing. The
mind and body arc elastic. as the mind
stretches out and broadcns so II can
govern the body.
Remember. youth is over on springs.
The mind and body that respects It's
own personality il always buoyant.

No Failure Yet Of A,cdiotion

Carranzas refusal to agree TO an
armistice seems final. and just as
final is the decision OF the mediators
not TO admit his agents to the con
ference under the circumstances. In
this latest event, those critics who
have predicted failure Of mediation
so frequently as to hope for it will
find another rock" OH which medi-
alton is bound TO split. but the break
up may not come yet. For instance,
the Constitutionalists may soon cap
ture Mexico City. and there will be
no reason for an armisticc. In that
event Carranza delegates will take
the place of the lfuerta delegates.
and the mediators can work on to-
ward an agreement.

with authority believe It either pos
sthle or desirable TO lead average
boys OF fifteen or sixteen to gradu-
ate honors. The younger Sidis is
doubtless unusual and responded
readily to unusual educational meth
DDS. Whether in the end he will be
more valuable to himself and TO the
community than those who gradu-
ate at the normal age, il is now too
soon to say
While waiting for Times verdict
on young Sidis, which we all hopo
will be favorable, it Is wholesome to
remember that II general system can
not be based upon what is found to
be suited TO prodigics. In his auto
biography John Stuart Mill tolls us
what an ocean of learning his father
had soaked him in before he was
eleven years old. Mills contribution
to the science OF political economy
is very great. but he might not have
made of II the dismal science" had
he been permitted TO DO q child men

That North Carolina Mine.

That men in public life cannot be
too careful OF their actions is shown
hy the attempt to make n scandal
OF the part ownership by several
United States Senators in Il North
Carolina gold mine and tho use OF
committee stationery TO disseminate
information about the mine There
is no reason why Senators should not
invest in legitimate mining or any
other kind OF company, but they
should be sure that there is no con-
nection between the business in
which they invest and the public's
business When the Senator'S com
fnittee paper is used an appearance
or such connection is established. a
fact of which political opponents are
sure TO make use, and which is Ger
tam to make an impression upon
those who wish to believe evil. Tho
Tim cs-Dispatch thinks the Wall

cepts the explanations of Senators

4 Foreign Right-or-\yay.

In diplomacy and trade, the des-
tiny of the United States has now an
unobstructed right-of-w way. Such is
the deeper-lying effect of the action
of Congress in multiplying tho Panama
subsidy grab at the behcst of Pres-
dent Wilson.
When Mr.. Wilson asked Congress
to do that which was right and hon
orable by England and the rest of
the world, he coupled it with the
significant statements:
That upon the action of Congress
depended largely the channels into
which our history in tho direction Of
statecraft and industry would run.
II we kept our solemn word, England
would naturally stand at our side in
complications that might involve us
own henisphere; the right hand OF
the world would be extended to us
in fellowship and cooperation, bar
ring only that inevitable rivalry to
be expected between trading nations.
The United States has met it's part
of the compact--unimpea 1t
is logical to assume England and the
rest Of the world will redeem the
implied pledges put forth. From this
time forward our relations In the
great international arena depend
upon our own energy and initiative.
Our expansion cannot be hampered
by yelled or outright hostility Of
other nations.
From these angles. so frcightcd
with possibilities is the undoing Of
the canal tolls blundcr. Congress
would be justified in making the an
niversary of repeal day a national
holiday.

Better Than Bond Issue.

bond issue for street improvements.
Why not sell the bonds to the Sink

money. but if direct appropriation
is not now practicable without some
delay, il is better than bond issue

LAW ON SAME FOOTING
Washington College of Law Offers
Splendid Course for Both Sexes
with Equal Advantages.
SCHOOL FACES BIGGEST YEAR

More students. both men and women,
a.e expected to be enrolled this year
in the Washington College of Law
than at any time during its nineteen
years Of existence
When the school was founded. it
was intended primarily for women
who then could not undertake the study
of law at any school here. 1t has
proved popular with men, however, and
the term this year, which will start
shortly. is expected to commence with an
equal number of men and women.
A complete course of study in the
principles and practices of law is pro-
vided at the school at 1917 New York
avenue. an announcement said yesterday.
There is a three-year course for the
degree Of bachelor of laws, with a one
year postgraduate course for the de-
gree OF master. The three-year course
fulhlls conditions required by law for ad-
mission to the bar. and qualities women
to practice before the United States Su-
preme Court and all but three State
courts.
In order to ft students for public
speaking, there is a debating society. to
which first-year students must belong. A
member OF the faculty is assigned as
adviser.
There were 129 students at the school
last year from the District, thirty-two
States and two foreign countries. In
speaking of the school and its desirable
ity for women, the booklet for this year
says:
The reasons advanced as to the i'm
portanCe of the study of the law for men
apply equally to women. In all the bust
ness relations Of life they are governed
by the same laws, and must make the
