Beauty Chats By Edna Kent Forbes
Beauty of Little Things

OFTEN by correcting a half dozen
~ tiny faults a woman may convert
herself from a Eawky creature into
a parsonage Of grace and charm.
After ALL perfection OF feature is rare
and not as desirable nor as important
as perfection Of little things
An otherwise beautiful woman WI
spoil herself By slumbering in a chair
sitting hump-shouldered over g card
table. OF twisting her feet around the
legs OF a chair when she dimes. But
an ordinary looking woman who viii

iu the uicture-at ease and relaxed
and viii attract favorable attention
5usr hy that action
know q very sweet little lady,
who ought 10 be a raTiug beauty But
she never pins up her back hair and
wisps of IL are hanging down her
neck all the time. I always fancy that
the lack Of neatness Of her locks must
be q reflection OF mentality and that
her mind contains dozens OF badly ar
ranged facts as mussed and untldy as
her hair.
Then. there's the pretty blonde
Va no VIII wear red and yellows- OF
course, the effect is as lnharmonlous
as a badly struck piano cord Her
blue eyes fairly plead for blues and
-rars and soft greens and violet or
black 70 bring out the gold in her
hair
There's the woman with large feet
also who INDUCES in white or fancy
sh0es-usually with spindly heels
that look as though they were going
10 snap under her weight And the
woman with the large bust and hips
who clothes herself in severely made
black satin-0utlining every gro
resuue curve like a badly done sill

satin unless il is very much softened-
she needs Georgette and chiffon and
crepe de chine, and grays and dark

in soft natural lines 10 conceal the

Plain Facts About the Meat Business

The Federal Trade Commission its recent report profits
stated that the five large packers have been pOeng and
that they have monopoly Of the market.
These conclusions if fair and just are of serious concern
only those engaged the packing business but every
other citizen of our country.
The figures given on profits are misleading and the statement that
the packers have monopoly IS unsupported by the facts.
reasonable and necessary.
The meat business is one of the largest American Industries Any
citizen who would famaze himself with its details be pre-
pared for large totals.
The report states that the aggregate profits of four large packers
were $l4OOOOOOO for the three war years.
This compared with 100000 the average annual profit
for the three years before the making appear that the
profit $l2l 100000 greater than the pre-vyar profit
This compares hreeyear profit with oneyear proh-a mani

the Federal Trade Commission apparently has made mistake

The aggregate eeyea profit of $I4OOOOOOO was earned on
sales of over four and half billion dollars means about three

Packers profits negligible factor prices of live stock and
meats No other large business conducted upon such small

| RUN CARS WITHOUT BATTERY
Engine VIII Have to Be Operated at
Fairly Coed Speed, But Is Better
Than Nothing.

In many makes of cars using battery
ignition 1t is possible to keep the car
running without the use Of the battery.
The systems referred to are those in
which the generator feeds the load
above certain engine speed, the bat
terry being used merely for car speeds
under Is miles per hour. If the bat
terry should fail the engine cannot be
started in the regular way, but once
started by means Of tow or by run
ming down hill, it can be kept running.
OF course this means that the starter
cannot be used and that the engine
will have to be operated at fairly
good rate Of speed, but then this is
better than not running at all.

To Prevent Skiddinu.

Unequally adjusted rear-wheel
brakes are potent cause Of skiddlng
and 1t is wise to make frequent tests
Of the parts for incorrect adjustment.
It is necessary to have some one with
you to watch the wheels. Drive the
car along a dry road, accelerate quick
~ and then suddenly apply the brakes.
If one wheel slides while the other is
revolving, 1t may be taken for granted
that the brakes are not holding with

TO REMEDY VALVE TROUBLES
Where Proper Opening Is Lost on
Account of Constant Hammering
Drill Hole in Stem.

1t frequently happens that the valves
become short in the stem from con-
slant hammering and If the tappets
are not adjustable, proper valve open
ing is lost. To remedy this condition
drill small hole up the valve stem
and file steel peg that may be
driven tightly into this hole. Drill and
countersink hole through piece Of
steel strip and rivet 1t into the stem
by means Of the projecting bit Of steel
pin. Trim off the job with a file. An
other way to the same end is to drill
and tap small hole up the stem and
screw in it small steel bolt.
