II cannot be reiterated too often
that Mexico is vast country.
Mexico extends in length over two
thousand miles, or is as long as from
Iceland to Africa. 1t measures thou
sand miles across the widest area. 1t
Is vast, 1t contains every climate from
tropical to northern; it has huge noun
tains, some of the greatest volcanoes
in the world; and some of the largest
rivers are to be found in the south,
although water is lacking In the north.
The north is fiat and hideous, the
south beautiful and mountainous.
Mexico produces every class of ore and
every form of agriculture and some of
the most picturesque and beautiful old
Spanish towns in the world remain
from the days when they were built
by Cortez in 1919.
One cannot help being struck with
the contrast between the two coasts,
On the Pacific shore everything is dry
on the Gulf (Atlantic) everything is
wet. A depth of eight or ten feet OF
soil is common.-From Mexico" by

italian Government sends train into
Austria through Switzerland TO gather
up the men released under the ex-
change agreement. The train crosses

The sunshine of life is made up of

giving up will prevent unhappiness
to yield, when persisting will chafe and

and while the Directors of the Junior
Red Cross and the Division of Educa-
ton realize that these activities have
had their origin in the laudable zeal
of the children or of those response
BILE for their welfare, they wish to
discourage them, as their desire to
work through the schools and in
school time, under proper school CON
troll, and not to encrouch upon the

According to the statement just is
sued, education in patriotism and ser
vice are the aims of the Junior Red
Cross and of the school campaign of
the National War Savings Commit
tee, and these aims are considered
far more important than the material
results of such service in money or
supplies. The danger of overstimu-
lation and of the undue pressure eX-
erted by inter-school competitions is
as great as the danger of slackness
and Indifference, and while serving
Or earning in proper ways for W. S.
S. or the Red Cross will inculcate the
habit of thrift and self-denial in the
school children, it is the opinion of
those in charge that too much stress
laid on these things will result in the
reversal Of this educational policy
and endanger the future which these
children hold in their hands.

A front-laced and a back-laced cor

corset designed for a slender figure is
trife higher in the front and consid-
erably higher in the back than the
model designed for a fuller figure

The problems of the makers of cor
sets are many and difficult, but the cor
sets of today are marvels of skillful
designing. In the first place those who
create corset styles must understand
thoroughly the various types Of figures
and they must undertake to make each
one Of them shapely without the sac
riflce of comfort. This is not at all
easy; for the too-slender woman must
be given pretty curves and the fat
woman must have hers smoothed out.
Besides, women demand corsets that
are light In weight and have few bones
or steels. Fashion DEGREES that wom-
en- shall be SO carefully corseted that
they look uncOrseted when they are
dressed. The contour of the figure
must conform to beautiful lines.
The new cOrsets are made of firm
but very flexible materials and with
the fewest possible number of bones.
They are nearly all very low In the
bust and give perfect freedom to the
diaphragm. There are equally good
models in front and in back-laced
styles so that each woman must deter
mine for herself which is best suited
to her figure.
The corset Is the foundation of sue
cessful dressing and should be fitted
with the greatest care. We have all
met women who achieve the best style
in the simplest frocks and suits. 1t is
all a matter of beautifully balanced
lines and one must begin at the begin
ming to possess them, and the begin
