The Psychology Of II.

Stuyvesant Ogden, San Francisco
millionaire, said in Washington the
other day:
"The present business depression
If, indeed. there be a business depres-
sion-is psychological. There is,
mean, no smallest excuse for 1t. 1t Is
born of the nightmare fears of mems
minds. In word, it reminds me of

puff is pinned beside the twist.
This arrangement gives the effect
of three puffs across the top of the
crown when viewed from the front.
Both sides are arranged in the same
manner The hair is drawn loosely
back to give soft appearance about
the face and to allow the waves to
retain their position.
Any short locks about the forehead
are trimmed off in light, even fringe
and curled slightly. They are to be
arranged in short curls at each side
of the part, or combed across the fore
head, according to their becoming
ness to the wearer
The middle part is suited to very
youthful faces and those past middle
life, but the woman in her prime
should experiment before adopting it.
A side part is more piquant and i'm
parts youthful look.
With the return of wide-brimmed
hats we are likely to have the return
of puffs. They are always admired
and for the woman who must resort
to false hair they are the lightest and
most convenient substitute for natural
locks.

nF SEVERAL new high coiffures
" there are noteworthy number in
which the hair is waved in the even,
Marcel wave, and parted either in the
middle or to one side. In others the
mass of the hair, after being waved;
is brought to the top of the head and
piled in a coil directly back of the
forehead. A third style shows a part
at each side with the hair at the top
of the head drawn back to the crown,
where 1t joins the back hair to form
a small Psyche knot.
In the coiffure shown in the picture
the hair is waved all around the head
The front portion is parted off and
combed forward to be out of the way,
while the back hair is brought to the
top of the crown and arranged in a
short French twist. When this has
been pinned to place with short wire
hairpins it forms a foundation to
which the front hair is afterward
fastened
The front hair is parted and combed
down on each side, just above the
temple. 1t is turned back and combed
off the face from the temple to the
ear. 1t is brought up to the knot
with the ends curled into puff The

cross and overlap, and the tapes are
tied In front.
The most convenient way to make
shapely waist of this kind Is to buy a
ready-made corset cover or brassiere
and supply it with ruffles. This will
give the wearer normal figure. There
is no economy in making a plain un-
dergarment of this kind at home, be-
cause the ready-made brassiere sells
so cheaply But there is economy in
placing the ruff1e, for the simple rea-
son that the work required doubles
the price of the waist In the shops.
Perhaps the greatest advantage de-
rived from waist such as Is pictured
here is the fact that 1t may be worn
as a substitute for a corset.

IOWA Has ROOM ENOUGH.

One of the real funny things that
has happened as a result OF lowa,s
suggestion that she might take care
of one hundred thousand Belgian
farmers, has been a criticism from
two or three sources that Iowa has
not room for that many additions
farmers at this time.
The Greater Iowa Association
sends out the following interesting
and comparative figures:
Belgium has 1883 square miles
and a total population of about seven
million people. That is 615 people
to the square mile.
The German Empire has 20S.00C
square miles and a total population
Of about seventy million people, or
1886 people to the square mile.
Holland and Denmark are just
about tae same, only not quite SO
densely populated. Hollands popula'
ton is about five hundred to the
square mile, and Denmarks about
two hundred.
What the population per square
mile in Iowa?
Iowa mas $4,000 square miles and a
total population of approximately g.,
100000 people, or forty-one persons
to the square mile.
In other words Belgium has just
fifteen times as many people per
square mile as Iowa; Germany has
eight times as many people per
square mile On tAe basis of Bel
gums population, Iowa has room
enough for thirty-seven million PEG,
pie, and on the German basis, Iowa
as room enough for twenty million
people. ...... ... ........
After all. Iowa certainly has room
