For Irene's father was small
town physician, and Irene had only
the advantages usually given to
daughters of fairly prosperous medi-
cal men with a provincial practice.
But New Rochelle didn't know
what was under Irene's ight-brOWn
hair-what was behind her clever
greenish eyes.
And New Rochelle knows not yet
the mormoset-but Irene Foote, now
Mrs. Vernon Castle, regales Broad
way daily with her greenish eyes and
her maTmoset and her wonderful
gowns.
And Miss Broadway bobs her hair
Just like Mrs. Vernon Castle.
After Irene married Vernon they
decided to capitalize their fancy step
ping by teaching young scions Of
wealth to dance. So successful were
their efforts that scions of wealth
f1ocked to be taught, and from mere
II private dancing instructors the
Castles became a national institution.
Castles-in-the-Air, on the roof of a
New York hotel, recently claimed
their abilities. Vernon, who is an
EngIshman, decided he'd go back
and Join the British aviation corps.
So Vernon is now at war. while Irene
is still teaching teTpsichOre new
tricks with another dancing partner,
Owen Ffnny.

SHAMROCK, Okla, Jan. s.
Shamrock claims the distinction of
being the only town i'm the United
States where green stamps only can
be sold by the postmaster. II started
as "a joke, really, when the town first
began to build a month ago, but it
soon became a fad and every man
and woman who now sends q letter
or postal package of any kind from
Shamrock demands the l-cent green
stamps as postage The Shamrock
postmaster has a stock of the red
dish cOlored 2-Cent stamps on hand
that may mildcw on his shelf unless
he is able to trade them back to
Postmaster General Eurlcs0u and get
the one-centcrs in exchange.
In truth, green is everywhere in
shamrock, The pOstOffice is housed
i'm a green building the stores of the
merchants are of that color, the lum-
bcNard offices are Of an emerald
hue, the big station of the electric
railway company has a tint that
rivals the shamrock itself and the
residences scattered throughout the
forest that covers the town have a
color like unto the leaves i'm the
sprngtme And when the green re-
turns 90 the trees, a few months from
now, this will be beyond any doubt
the grocncst spot in the nation
And it all happens because the
name of the town happened TO be
shamrock. 1t was named that eight
years ago by a pioneer merchant who
established himself at "a cross roads,
applied for a pOstoffjce and christ
cncd his location among the black
oak trees Shamrock And then. when

And, having named and built Tip

consequently, the cross streets Of the

Railroad Takes Up the Idea.
Even the Sapulpa & Oil Fields Rail
road company now 60 npletng an

up the Irish idea and has officially
Ccslgnated its line as the "Tippcrary

known as the Irish Mail, the Dublin

Consumers in Small Towns and Rural

Which Encourage Substitution of
Unidentified Goods at High Figures.

Mrs. Christine Frederick, household

nal. the New York Evening Sun, Sue
cessful Farming, and various other
publications, recently appeared before
the Interstate and Foreign Commerce
Committee of the House of Repre-

of the Stephens-Ashufst bill. This
measure, according to it's title, Is de-
signed ITO protect the public against
dishonest advertising and false pre-
lenses in merchandising.
y The bill will legalize standard, uni
form prices and prevent price cutting
of trade marked goods by big city
stores for the purpose of giving the
false impression that all their other
articles are proportionately low.
Price cutting is merely bait to lure
customers so that articles of inferior

prices.

If retailer or manufacturer except as
they affect the consumer. There Is
sreat need that the woman consumer,
who spends most of the family income
sor articles used In the home, should
be able to buy with the least extrava-
gance, the least inefficiency and the
least waste. I believe that a uni
form price on an identified article Is
one of the chief means by which THIS
most desired end can be obtained.
Mrs. Frederick declared that the
passage of the Stephens-Ashurst bill
will result in greater household ell
cheney in buying for the following
reasons:
First, II will help the consumer
establish a standard in all pur.
chasing.
Second, It will guarantee to the
consumer a continuance OF those
standards once they are estab-
iished.
Third, It will give wider dis
trlbution to more kinds of prod
ucts that the consumer daily
buys.
Fourth, il will save the consun1-
er's money because the fixed price
will guarantee permanent, de-
pendabIe supply of articles.
Fifth, it will be especially help
full to farm women and small town
consumers who are now victims
Of discrimination.
Sixth, it will make 1t possible
for the homemaker to practice
more efficient and less wastefui
buying methods.
Seventh, IL will guarantee to the
consumer that the goods whlen
she buys are made under honor
able standards of manufacture
fair pay and sanitary conditions.
In her argument for identified a

mitted that cut prices tend TO dri'
such articles from the market al
she was merely showing the intefe
that the consumer has in having a

the meeting adjourned he made the
following statement:
1T is an admirable speech and /
wish TO call attention TO the following

Il am particularly pleased with the
exposure OF the folly, and worse than
folly. OF Mr.. Wilson's Mexican policy
and of the way in which this policy
mas brought humiliation to the United
States and disaster to Mexico ITSELF
Moreover, am very glad OF the
straightforward manner in which Mr.
Hughes has shown the ridicule with
which Mr. Wilson has covered this ma.
lion by the manner in which he al.
owed foreign powers to gain the i'm.
preston that although he used the
strongest words in diplomacy they
we're not to be taken seriously
Not Words Which Count.
"As Mr.. Hughes said, 1t is not words
put the strength and resolution behind
he words which count. AS Mr.
Hughes pointed out, there is no doubt
hat II Mr.. Wilson's conduct and &C
ion had been such as to make the
,oreign nations believe that he meant
precisely what he said in his strict
accountability there would have beer
