What You've Been WAITING For.

Masculine readers are not usually
interested in pictures showing feminine
fashions, notes the Outlook, but GER
tain halftones in a Brooklyn furrier's
catalogue are calculated to awaken a
somnolent intellectual activity in the
man who has been leisurely coming
the rise in coal and milk bills. On the
first page is shown an evening wrap
made Of chinchilla; it's price is $1O,-
600. The next page illustrates wrap
which is made up in various furs to
suit different sized purses. The hum
bier seeker for borrowed warmth may
get this moleskin for the trif1e of $3.50
more fastidious tastes may call for one
Of ermine at $4,000; those who prefer
Hudson Bay sable may secure their
choice for $4,000; while the lady who
desires "the real thing" may have her
wrap made OF Russian sable at a cost
of $4,000. An inferior garment of
Russian sable, 1t may be added, will
be furnished at $4,000 for anyone of
economical tastes.

Futile DISPUTES.

In stating prudential rules for our
government in society, must not omit
the important one of never entering
into dispute or argument with another.
/ never saw an instance of one of
two disputants convincing the other
by argument.
I have seen many, on their getting
warm, becoming rude and shooting one
another.
Conviction is the effect Of our own
dispassionate reasoning, either in soli-
tude or weighing within ourselves, dis
passionately, what we hear from 9TH
ers, standing uncommitted in argu-
ment ourselves. 1t was one Of the
rules which, above all others, made
Doctor Franklin the most amiable Of
men in society, never to contradict
anybody" If he was urged to an
nounce an opinion. he did 1t rather
by asking questions, as If for infor-
nation, or by suggesting doubts
Thomas Jefferson.

OveralIs and PettIcoats.

The bloomer idea is going out among
the French women employed in fac.
tories, especially munition works, dc.
cording to letter from one of the in
dustrial centers over there, and return
has been made to the skirt that ever
has been the badge of femlninity. Only
where working close to certain machin-
cry would maze skirts dangerous have
they been discarded for bloomers, or,
In most instances, overalls. What was
taken up as fad, says a correspond
ent, has given way to the older and
stronger dictates of modesty. And
after work, in spite of the fact that it
has been work amid grease and dirt
OF the exceptional Eort-or perhaps
because Of it-there is recourse to the
powder puff and the other appurten-
ances Of frill that In some form or
other are synonymous with woman the
world over.

German Schooling.

German schooling has proved antag-
onistic to cooperation, although de-
manding unity of action through mass
obedience, Winthrop Talbot writes in
the Century. 1t has failed to foster
real cooperation, for cooperation is a
method by which persons Of their own
volition and by no compulslon may
work together harmoniously. Only
when training and schooling are the
common privilege Of all is that state
Of civic development possible which
permits society to become cooperative
In its action. In other words, a So
cialized society becomes more possible
only as all individual members acquire
each the widest vision, and thus the
power to cooperate harmoniously.

A Pacifst.

The newcomer had hardly seated
himself in the railway compartment
before he began to talk, relates Lon
don Tit-Bits II am pacifst," said
he In voice as If he wanted to dis
arm all interruption. "If we can't beat
the enemy in tIree years it's time we
started waving the olive branch in

Inserted itself at the carriage window.

The Smallest Cartoon.

A certain small boy has drawn a
caricature picture of President Wilson
upon a single grain Of coep. He spent
about a half hour in doing the work,
for which he used water colors, says
Christian Science Monitor. 1t is said
that some time ago he drew q similar
picture upon a single grain of corn
and, upon sending his work to the pres
ident,, he received an appreciative ac-
acknowledgement from Washington. This
Is believed to be the smallest cartoon
picture In the world, for it measures
only about quarter Of an inch in
the longest direction. The likeness Is
In profile.

Switzerland Like United States.

Switzerland is the only European
example OF a federative and demo-
cratic republic OF the American type,
observes writer. Switzerland, as the
United States, was born from a desire
for emancipation from autocratic des-
potism; like the United States, Swift
zerland never believed in the divine
right of kings. The very past which
the ancient federates, on that 9net
spot, the "Rutli," on the classill Lake
Of Lucerne on August 1, 1921 Fsore
to, embodies that great principle for
which now, 626 years later, the United
States is fighting, namely, to quote
President Wilson's own words, "For
the right Of those who submit to au-
thority to have voice in their own
governments" There the old Swiss
proclaimed self-government against the
autocratic rule of the Hapsburg, III the
following words: "We ordain and di-
rect with unanimous accord, that in
the aforementioned valleys we shall
recognize no judge who shall have
bought his rights with money or in any
other manner, or who shall not be q
native and an inhabitant Of these dis
trictS."

ut takes all sorts of things to bring
out latent traits in us ALL" The speak
er in the club car rolled his cigar to
the other corner Of his mouth. The
other occupants sat silently, surmising
that story was coming, recounts n
writer in an exchange.
Knew young fellow over East.
Father had lots Of money. Son did not
seem inclined to add great deal to
1t by working, but made several dents
In the family purse by his spending.
Not that he was bad boy at heart
only lhoughtless. Sometimes I think
the rich father was attempting to
make business man out Of q man
never intended for that sort of life. The
boy did not seem to be able to find his
niche. Said to me one day when he
had gotten confidential: You know,
my only fear Is that am not going to
make something out of myself that will
make dad proud of me- And the two
surely did love each other. One day
the boy asked the father for several
thousand dollars. 1t was Forthcoming.
Then he asked the father to cash a
check for some money left him by his
dead mother. He got that. Then the
boy sort of dropped out of New York
life.
Next thing I knew he was a lieu
tenant in the aviation section Of the
army. He had bought two airplanes,
taken them down into the country to
one of his fathers farms and learned
to fly. Guess those that knew him
thought it was another Of his money
burning ways. But when he thought
himself competent he went to the gov
ernment and simply said: Here am,
ready for any service you may have for
me- and the government took him up
In hurry. He may be in France. But
you should have seen that fathers face
light up every time he mentioned that
boy. And when he does get back from
France he and his father are going to
be greater pals than ever, If that be
possible.
"Now I am not going to say that
many young men ure going to have
about $4,000 at their beck and call to
demonstrate that Il only needs the oc-
casion to make men out of them, but
do say that there are scores of young
men doing just as much or more"

AMERICAN BANKERS
ENTER FAR EASTERN FIELD

New ork.-Announcement is made
of the organization under the laws of
the state of New York of the Asia
Banking Corporation with capital of
$2,O00,OO0 and a surplus of $500,000,
all subscribed, for the purpose of en-
gaging in international and foreign
banking in China, in the dependencies
and insular possessions of the United
States, and as soon as the Russian sit
uation clears, in Russia itself and ST.
IBERIA. Among the stockholders in the
new company are the Guaranty Trust
company of New York, the Mercantile
Bank of the Americas, the Anglo and
London Paris National Bank of San
Francisco, the National Bank of Port
land, Ore, and the National Bank of
Commerce, Seattle, Washington.
English and Continental banks prin-
cipally have heretofore financed trans
actions between the United States and
the Far East, and the establishment
of an American bank in China with
branches elsewhere in the Far East
is looked upon as an important step
toward the development of American
foreign trade in that part of the world.
The organizers of the new company
believe that the increase in trade be-
tween the United States and the Far
East makes greater banking facilities
necessary and justifies the establish
ment of local American banks and in
vestment companies. The capital issues
committee of the War Finance Cor
poration has approved the issue of the
capital stock of the Asia Banking Cor
poration, the position being taken that
the investment of capital in this enter
prise does not mean diversion Of cap
ital for new purposes, since large
amount of the business proposed to be
transacted is now being conducted by
American banks with their own re-
sources through their correspondent
banks. There will be no public offer
ing of stock.

MEDIATION IN WAR
Roman Popes, From Earliest
Time Deemed It Privilege.
First Instance Dates From 4oe, When
Effort Was Made to Arrange
Peace With Goth Leader.

From the earliest time Of papacy,
popes, as the religious heads of the
catholic church, have considered il
their task to intercede as mediators
In temporal disputes, observes a his
torian. Following are a few instances:
As early as 400, when Alaric I de-
clared he would withdraw from Rome
only on condition that the Romans
should arrange peace favorable to
MIN, 3. Innocent I went with an en-
bassy OF the n mans to Emperor Hon
er1us, at Ravedna, to try, IL possible.
TO make peace with him and the Goths.
out failed In his endeavors to bring
about peace. More successful was
Gregory I, who played the same part
on the occasion of the invasion of italy
Dy the Lombards. Owing to his friend
ship with the Lombardian queen Theu-
dulinda, he actually mediated a favor
able, peace. When northern Italy was
devastated by Attila the venerable
bishop Of Rome, Leo 1.-THE first of the
great popes-by personal encounter
with the king Of the Huns, prevented
him from marching upon Rome. he
went in 452 to upper Italy, and met
Atdla at Mincio, in the vicinity Of
Mantua, obtaining from him the prom
lse that he would withdraw from Italy
and negotiate peace with the emperor.
Ihis pope also succeeded In obtaining
another favor for the Inhabitants of
Rome. When In 455 the city was cap-
tured by the Vandals under Geneseric
the "scourge of God," Leo's interces-
sion obtained a promise that the city
should not be injured and the lives OF
the inhabitants should be spared.
Another pope, Benedict the Twelfth.
who from 1884 to 1912 occupied the
holy see, was as unsuccessful as a
mediator as the present supreme pom
ufr. At that time Charles Nv Of France
sSc c!ed without leaving an heir. and
when his cousin, Philip vi, put the
crown on his head, his right to do so
was contested by Edward LII Of Eng
land. Benedict XII, who wanted to
mediate, was not listened to, and there
ensued hostilities lasting, with some
Interruptions. for hundred years.
The popes mediated successfully be-
tween Christian opponents IN cases
where 1t was important to unite them
In the common cause of Christianity
against Turkey.
Pope Gregory (1271-127B), for the
sake of crusade against the Turks,
worked indefatigably upon a recon
ciliation of the princes in Italy and
Germany, and Paul III (1534-1b49),
nearly three centuries later. tried to
prevent a war between Spain and
France. Clement TX aided Venice
against the Turks by medlating the
peace between Louis XIV and Spain,
etc.

Ole BULLS COLONY
Norwegian's Dream of Model
Home Now Scene of Ruin.
recalls Misplaced Confidence and
Made All the More Tragic Because
OF Splendid Ideals.

Only the ruin Of the villa "Valhalla"
remains Of the ill-fated Norwegian col
ony established by Ole Bull in Pennsyl-
vania In the late sos. The story of
the colony, says the Kansas City
Times, Is one of misplaced confidence,
made all the more tragic because of
the splendid ideals that led to its es-
tablishment.
The great Norwegian violinist, al
ways an admirer Of America, wished
to obtain location for model colony
or his countrymen. He bought thou
sand acres of a firm Of land dealers
and soon afterward brought to this
country several hundred Norwegians.
"A clearing was made, the village Of
Oleana built and, in an address to the
townspeople, Ole Bull set forth the
hopes that had inspired his mission.
The address follows:
brothers Of Norway! From the
CLINE where the north wind has its
home; where the maelstrom roars, and
where the aurora for half the year
takes the place Of the genial sun, we
have come to find home. When we
were among our mountains, and war
was bringing want and famine upon
us, we heard there was a country in a
milder climate where libcrty dwe!t and
plenty reigned. Upon looking over our
records, we found that our country
men, under ThOrfin, had discovered
that land more than eight hundred
years ago, but that they were met by
cruel and savage Indians. and had left
no record Of themselves, except some
traces of their sad history engraven
In the rocks Of Fall river, and one tenn
pie which they raised to God on an
island at the mouth of Narragansett
bay. All other record Of them had
passed away.
How different Is Our reception from
that which Thorfin and his followers
received. No savage Indian startles us
with his war whoop, but kind friends
meet us on every side, taking US by the
hand and giving US welcome to our
new home.
Brothers Of Norway We must not
disappoint this confidence, but by
lives Of industry and honesty show to
our new brothers that they have not
misplaced their friendship.
And now, to these gentlemen of
New York and Pennsylvania, who have
so kindly assisted by their counsel and
advice in this work, I return my most
sincere and heartfelt thanks, and cast
ing ourselves npon the goodness Of our
heavenly Father, resting secure upon
his promise, let us go on in the daily
performance Of every duty, and he
will bless u.s."
There was a pathetic aftermath.
Hardly had the pioneers got well un-
der way with their homebuilding when
1T was discovered that the violnist had
been victimized. The company that
sold him the land had &c valid title TO
1t. The people of Oleana scattered,
some Of them penniless and with few
friends in the new country. Ole Bull,
with splendid loyalty to those he had
brought to this pass, gave public con-
certs to raise money for their relief.

C'ocoanut Oil Fine <.
 For Washing Hair

you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with.
 Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful Just plain mulsifed cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely grease less), is much better than the most ex- pensive soap or anything else ysu can use for. shampooing, as this can't pos- sibly injure the hair.
 Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy father, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months.
