Standardization of Dress.

4 Mrs Elizabeth Claypool Earl, speaking before
the Sixth District Federation of Clubs, advocated
standardization of dress for women She pointed
@out that girls "over dress, and argued that club
women ought to take the lead in wearing a
STANDARD dress so that the problem of being COM
Seled to change gowns for all sorts of functions
would be solved.
s The effort of Mrs. Earl is praiseworthy one,
@but the practical application would lead to all
e,sorts of embarrassments Can you imagine any
woman being contented to wear the same style
sof dress on shopping expedition and to theatre
party Woman herself would protest against the
monotony of having only few dresses to wear.
Their husbands would be interested in the finan-
1cial side of the problem, but the chances are ten
Ito one that friend husband would let out an awful
roar if his wife persisted in wearing the same
sskind of dress all the time. Men want variation
lin the wearing apparel of their wives. They
would prefer the elimination of some of the fads
that make good gowns expensive, but in the main
the idea of standard dress would make little
appeal to the average man.
Mrs. Earl is right in protesting against the
excessive outlay of money demanded for many
# kinds of dresses. After all, it isn't standard
dress that's needed. but more simplicity and less
fadshness in the styles that make an expensive
uary. Dresses in themselves are not so costly
as the effort of most women to keep I'D with the
styles

The Conscience that Accuses.

A mans conscience applauds or accuses. For
every evil deed performed if it is undetected
your conscience registers mark and from that
day on begins to harrass you.
Men have tried to get away from the memory
of wickedness they have done, but their con-
sciences, silent, unseen and vindctve to the last
continue to pursue and embarrass.
That's the reason why a murderer is at
tracted back to the scene of his crime. His con-
science forces him back to the place where he
took that possession for which no man can make
restitution-another mans life.
thief is never at rest. The haunting fear
OF detection, kept alive by the inner sentinel of
his moral makeup, doesn't give him a minute
of peace.
Men try to lull to sleep their aroused con-
sciences in many ways. The most common
method is to make restitution for the wrong, if
This can be DONE For this reason the United
States government every now and then receives
money for its conscience fund. Recently the
treasury department at Washington received
$4,000 from New York in a letter that gave no
-clew to the writer. Not very long ago another
troubled conscience refunded $4,000 which be-
slonged to the government.
The men who robbed the government of this
money did not enjoy it. Wherever they went
they heard the inner accusation, 81 am thief"
They could not enjoy the peace of their homes,
oor the society of their wives and children, fear
Ting every day that they would be arrested and dis
graced Their own consciences made this life
Il a very hell for them.

Thirsting for Water.

Washington state went dry on January l.
One Of the notable manifestations since has been
the increased consumption of water in the
Seattle hotels Thirsty guests are consuming so
much of the excellent water which is furnished
the city from a source high up in the Cascade
mountains that managers of nineteen of the
leading hotels have asked the city council for a
reduction of 80 per cent in water rates. The
average man drinks too little water in wet
territory. If the whole United States were dry
and men were impelled to drink more water as
result initiating the Seattle example, physicians
would see one of their admonitions carried out in
an increasing degree.

For the benefit of those that are
not satisfied with their jobs and who
have ambitions to become idols of the
screen, Prof. Demos Sharkus will con-
duct in this column daily an advanced
course in photoplay acting. After
finishing this course a person should
be able to pull down the salary equal
to that of Charlie Chaplain or Mary
Pickford. PROVIDED, they have as
much natural ability and then of
course it would be necessary for them
to spend few years in the actual
