Despite his age Count Won Haeseler
is one Of the most modern and un.
doubtedly one Of the most important
of German generals. He is held up
to the soldiers as an example Of the
true Spartan.
On Notwithstanding is the aged
generals favorite sport-he presents
a striking picture. He sits as straight
as the youngest recruit and his smooth
shaved, wrinkled, but rosy checked
face, contrasts singularly with his
flowing snow white hair. -
A great fund of stories has been
built up on Count Won Haeseler. The
most famous of the anecdotes told
about him Is that OF. the time when
he fooled the kaiser" as one can hear
German schoolboys tell.
It was during the regular kaiser
maneuvers in May, some twenty years
ago. The emperor made a bet that
he would capture the count. He was
the commander in chief Of the reds"
while Count Won Haeseler, comman.

leader of the blues" defending the
heights Of the Fort Kaiserin against
the kaiser's forces.

heard to mutter between his teeth:

talk with him, then dashed back to

Count Won Haeseler thus learned the

rode forward, forming a semicircle
around the count, directly toward Fort
Leipzig, Immediately in front of the
advancing enemy. There Count Won
Haeseler unobservedly left the stan. A

No Old Women.
BY RUTH CAMERON.

No Old Women.
There are no old women nowadays" the
head of beauty parlor in big city said
to me not long ago. They don't let them
selves grow old. They keep themselves
up, keep their skins clear, dress their hair
becomingly and look after their nails"
L looked about the beauty parlor and
could well believe her. OF the dozen or
SO women who were having manicures sew
eral were not far from sixty. woman
between fifty and sixty had just come out
of one of the booths with her white hair
pied IN graceful waves. At the appoint

This is, indeed, the day when old as
We'll as young believe in making the most
of themselves.
And am glad to see it, There is no
reason why youth should have a monopoIv
people easy to look at. In fact youth
could do without that grooming better than
tiful in itself.
But there is another side to the medal
Let me tell you about woman who came
INTO the parlor while / sat there.
She was unquestionably a woman of
sixty. She was dressed as if she were
thirty-ffve. Her white hair was coiffed
with messy elaboration of puffs. She
was carefully corseted, but that could not
conceal the fact that she was fat, with the
gross fairness of those who lead lazy, use
less, overfed lives. Her eyes were rowing
and restless, her mouth discontented There
was an indescribably hard look about her
whole face One could not imagine a nat
ural smile alighting on those lips, 1t seemed
as If it would have broken into fragments
against the hardness of the face
That woman is the other side of the
medal. She stands for the class of WON
en- who have got the realities and the sur
face things of life mixed up, women who
are so anxious to keep their faces young
that they forget to keep their hearts and
minds young.
She represents the ugliness and abnor-
mality of arrested development as COM
pared with the beauty of normal healthy
development
She is the kind of woman who doesn't
like to have people know she is a grand
mother, the kind who is Jealous of the
youth of her own children, instead of en-
1oying 1t and entering into a second
youth through it.
She has mistaken pleasure for happiness
all her life. That is why her mouth is so
discontinued and her eyes so restless.
As l said before it is good for a woman,
whatever age she may be, to make the most
of herself, but making the most of ones
self means not only keeping ones body
well groomed. it means letting the mind
and heart grow; it means keeping pace
with the years instead of hanging back; it
means mellowing through and through in
stead of hiding under a stimulation of sur
face bloom a heart of dry rot; it means all
the difference between aping youth awk-
wardly and growing old gracefully.-(Pro-

high time that the popular pastime of
hampering the operations of business,

scrap-heap. If the people of the United

taught by the war in Europe they will
appreciate that business, the manu-

longer regard the Sherman Act, OF its
descendant the Clayton Act, as the

people of the United States are coming
to regard such laws with increasing
suspicion. Why, it is asked, should
business be prince one day and pauper

Allison Jewel case The man, who
gives his name as John Emerson, was
seen coming out of the alley in the
rear of the residence at $50 Tuesday
evening-just after the word had
been telephoned to the police-and he
could not explain his presence there
although it was a dozen blocks away
from his lodgings and place of bust
ness
Tuesday, That was the night he
had taken her home! And $50 was
about the time he had left her. The
alley in question was between her
street and the Allisons. He had prob
ably been taking a short cut home!
But why had he not told them his
Grand?
Lucia thought over all the details,
and the orange skin popped into her
head. She would send it to him and
he would not refuse to see her, she
knew. She was thankful now for the
little joke.
An hour later, among grim sur
roundings, Lucia was shown into a lit
tie white room and John Emerson
came in a moment later. They had
nounced.
.EWhy didn't you tell them where
you were last Tuesday," was her
breathless greeting. This is terrible

And he had no time to answer, for

factories of the affected trades. Bust
ness should not be regarded with sus-
picion but with confidence. Manu-
facturers are not robbers; they are
business men in business for profit,
which is precisely the motive which
inspires the activity of every human
unit in the Republic and every nation
in the world. There is nothing oppro-
brious in earning a living. Why look
askance at the man who does it by
turning a piece of steel into tool, or
sticks of lumber into furniture. For
a number of years this country has
gone cheerfulIy and carelessly along
smashing business at home and Wilt
flying it IN the eyes of foreign nations.
To such en- extent has this been car
in some instances to deal with Amer
lean concerns abroad and have pointed
to the villifying remarks of American
legislators as evidence of the undesir-
able character of the institution under
ban. In the picturesque language of
Ebert Hubbard when you attack men
who maintain pay rolls. you hit the

ton of the importance of industry

.sWAR~ PRICES.

Although the European war is still
doing business at its several stands,
the Lawrence, Kan. BARRIERS who
found it necessary a few weeks ago to
raise the price for naircuts from rs
to 35 cents ION account of the war"
have evidently found a way of circum-
venting the increased cost of haircut
ting that was brought about by the
war. At any rate, they've gone back
to the two-bits scale. AS a matter of
fact, though, it was probably the
avarice of the Lawrence BARRIERS and
their desire and willingness to gouge
the public, and not the war, that
caused them to raise their haircut
prices. They simply use the war as an
excuse And these are undoubtedly
the real reasons for many other of the
increased prices ION account of the
war" that have been foisted on the
people of this country.

There are a lot of liars in this world

10 Insects Migrate Like Birds?

1t is strange indeed that insect MI
grations and the laws which govern
them have been so neglected, for many
are considered rather anomalous, al
most hap-hazard manifestations. To
be sure, many insects do not migrate,
Just as some birds live in an approx
mately fixed habitat. But, whereas
such birds live as active adults, the
non-migrating insects either hibernate
in the mature, winged form, or pass
the cold months in the egg or crystals
stage. And, also, some butterfly
swarmings may resemble the aimless,
unproductive outbursts of the cotton
moths Nevertheless, a deeper sig
nificance is given to many reports
scattered throughout scientific Htera-
ture by reason of this theory concern
ing laws of time, direction, and route
which govern the movements of an un-
known number of the smaller winged
creatures Eagle Clarke's obServa-
tions, while studying bird movements
from the Kentish Knock Ightship,
that the thistle butterfly VaneSsa
cardui flew toward England from the
continent against a head wind at
night, opens interesting possibilities of
further discovery, for this butterfly is
believed by many entomologistS to mi
CRATE from the mainland to the Brit
ish Isles every year. Along the Cali
fornia coast, too, this same butt~r fly,
the most widely distributed of all such
insects, sometimes moves northWard in
great SWarmS lnat may come from
Mexico. The green clouded swallow
tail, too, Papilio troilus. and the giant
swallow tail, Papilio cresphontes. were
seen by Saverner flying in company
with the ''monarchs' and going south
along the bird route which extends
across western Lake Erie; so all
these species with an unknown num-
Der of others) are certainly partial. or
perhaps even true, migrants in some
parts of this country.
Tropical observations also give evil
than accidental. Vast coastwise
swarms annually traverse the shores
of British India: small yellow butter
flies also undertake great journeys
there, while another species, related
to our swallow tails, is believed to
travel from that country to the island
of Ceylon every year. Others make
periodical 10 -neys along the Vene-
zuelan coast and in the Amazon val
ley; so there, too, the recruiting activi-
ties seem to be quite different from
aimless wanderings, and more in the
nature of racial functions intimately
bound up with the creatures life his
tory.
Indeed, accommodating evidences
show that the principles and laws
governing the better known bird mi
grations have a remarkable parallel
in the annual movements of certain
members of the insect world.-How-
