with brown skin. On the contrary.
members of this type are often con-
sidered fine looking and greatly ad-
mired. Besides. what is there in a
white skin that establishes its pre-
eminence? We actually have a kind
of feeling against it ourselves when
it is very white. Certain kinds or
wilderness we associate with weakness
and disease. We hear mothers lament
ing their children are SO pale and We
hear expressions of concern over pal
lor in grown-ups.
Is It not possible that the time will
come when whiteness of skin will be
considered a mark, not of superiority
but of inferiority? Already in this re-
gard there has been a decided change
among women and girls. Once the pale,
fragile type of woman was regarded
as peculiarly appealing. Now she is
considered sickly. And yet. ii is true
that there are some women who will
deliberately cover their faces with
powder for the purpose of reaching
the pallor that they consider attrac-
tive But such women. as we know,
are likely to be lacking in common
sense, and among them there are
those who. for the sake Of achieving
contrast, will resort to a little color
or more than a little color on their
lips and cheeks.
No. generally speaking. admiration
for a white skin is more or less con-
ditional. 1t is enough for the skin to
he included in the category OF white.
but it Is better for 1t to have a shade
t,ly IL nf thu whtfA T.
egory and that makes It allied to
color II we could rid our minds Of
prejudice in this matter. some of us
would frankly express our preference
for a skin that had a good deal OF
color in It, red or brown or black. But
so closely interviewer with the fiber
of our being Is this kind Of prejudice
that the mere effort to get away from
it would inevitably fail. And there
are those who could not possibly make
the effort. To suggest the attempt
would be to meet instant rebuff.

During May and June, much seed OF
poor quality has been imported. more

to 81 per cent. Farmers should there

bright greenish yellow color usually
terminates we'll, while a brownish
color indicates poor termination. All
lots containing brownish or brown
seeds should be carefully tested for
termination to determine the proper

the field under favorable conditions
and the rate of seeding should be ad-
justed accordingly.

riding on a railroad. We do not know
what railroad It is. The ticket which
we slipped to the conductor said the
name Of the railroad was the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern. The brake
man says II is the New York Central.
The conductor says either one Is right
and the porter says both are right We
give II up.
However, II is a nice railroad. The
brakeman says It Is the best railroad
in the world. We said we thought the
Union Pacific was the best railroad and
the brakeman said ne didn't know any
thing about the Union Pacific because
ne had never been out OF the country.
But, as we said before. II is a nice
railroad 1t furnishes free writing pa

using the writing paper. 1t is very swell
writing paper and we are going to write
letters to all our friends on It.
We went through Chicago this morn

from one depot to the other We know
we went through the loop because a
policeman said we did. 1t is called the
loop because the elevated railroad runs
around. which is no reason to call It
the loop.

Cactus" Cravath, the we'll known home

There's a short fence in the Phillies'
park that "a the particular target for
Cravath's bombardments every time he
goes to bat on the home grounds: it's
in right center, and despite the fact that
Cravath is a right-handed clouter, he has
lifted the horsehide over the fence ever
and anon.
Cravath's little trick has won many
games for the Philiies in DAYS gone by
and probably the Phillie owners figured
that "Cactus'' might bust up a world

One Of the oddities concerning that
short field IL that Cravath Is about the
only PLAYER who can smash ball over
it--yet he has done II often and easily.
Last summer the Phlllies and Pirates
were playing in Philadelphia and era

over that particular section of the fence.

A few weeks later the Phillies invaded
Pittsburgh. Craveth ambled to the plate,

HOW TO PREVENT FIRE

One of the first rules for fire pre-

You should organize your home on
the same plan as that of a factory
For instance, the man of the house
should have charge of the power and
maintenance department, and occa-
sionally should inspect his home
from the cellar to the garnet. with
the idea of fire prevention in mind.
Don't throw ashes from cigars,
cigarettes and pipes down the air
shafts or registers No one should
throw burned or burning matches and
tobacco on the floor
One can easily start a fire when
trying to find something in dark
closet bedroom or cellar, using
matches or candles to light the way.
How many times have we seen one
use naphtha, benzine or kerosene in
stoves and furnaces in an endeavor
to light or quicken fires An explo-
sion may result in death.
Don't turn the oven burner of your
gas stove too low. 1t might 90 out
and the escaping gas cause an ex-
plosion when the lighted burner
above ignites it.

THE TARIFF AND POLITICS

Politicians for many years have
found the tariff one of the big
sources Of capital for a political cam
paign. The result has been con-
slant shifting of the tariff schedule
which unsettled business and brought
little or no direct benefit to the
masses of the people. The National
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States very wisely recommends that
there be permanent tariff commits
sion made up of five commissioners
nominated by the President of the
United States and confirmed by the
United States Senate and that it be
made the duty of this commission to
investigate business conditions and
make suggestions to congress for any
proposed new tariff legislation.
This certainly would be move in
the right direction The gradual re-
vision Of the tariff from time to time
by business experts is the only SEN
sible way to revise the tariff without
unduly disturbing business condi-

After all, what is it to be an Amer

the number Of generations merely
which separate the individual from
