Beauty is that intangible, inde-
Unable thing that dreams are
made from.
Beauty is a matter of opinion.
1t is not an existing actual
quality. No two people see beauty
In the same light. What is beauti-
lful to one individual is often CON-
monplace to another. Consequent
lily It is impossible to identify
beauty, to give it fixed qualifica-
tons.
Somehow, it Is human nature to
admire in others that which we dc
not possess ourselves. For instance
l am blonde, yet my ideal type OF
feminine beauty would be a bru-
nette. She would be tall, Queenly
q woman OF prepossessing poise
She would have personality, mag
netism and she would be sympa-
thetic and considerable Of others.
Beauty, | should say, Is what
ever you chose to think 1t Is; 1t is
governed entirely by the personal
Equation.

to travel in the day time"
"All right, my dear, that is up
to you, but can't see why any one
should want to travel in a sleeping
car N the journey could be made
In the day time. However, I'll get
you a compartment today"
Indeed, Dick, you will do moth
ing of the kind. won't pay all
that extra money for one person
In compartment. You can buy
a ticket for me and d lower berth. !"

Beauty is the magic key that
opens all locks. 1t is not found In
a makeup box. Beauty is often
in the clasp of a hand, in the voice
of friend; beauty is not always a
visible thing. To me, all children
are beautiful.
| should say that beauty, when
we see 1t, is love externalized. 1t
is the manifestation of all that Is
good, pure, true. That, in my
opinion, is beauty.
My ideal type might have a
mole on her nose and not mar her
beauty. Her hair might be
straight and stubborn and done in
a dinky twist at the back. More,
she might be cook in somebody's
kitchen, but II she were beautiful
she would love all mankind; she
would DO generous, honest, frank,
considerate. She would never be
unkind. Her beauty would be a
thing felt, not seen.

MARRIAGE is LIKE POLITICS

Dick seemed to be perfectly fit
this morning and when I told him
that I thought of going over to
spend the week end with Donna
Tenney, he thought it was a splen-
did idea.
"Ill bet you are mighty tired of
me, Margfe," he said. II have
hardly let you out of my sight
since the accident last summer,
and I must give you credit for put
ting up with me in great shape.
l tell you an invalid husband is no
joke"
But, Dick, I think you are nicer
when you are sick than when you
are WE'LL"
Come off, come off. my dear.
You can't make me believe that
a sick man is nicer than a well
one"
Eyes, ne is, Dick, to the woman
who really cares for him. You
see we women love to minister to
those we love. l expect that it is
the maternal in us, and honestly,
Dick, like you best when you are
a little dependent on me. You
know, being a man, you cannot get
over, all at once, the idea that
what you say and do is the right
thing. When you are well, you
are perfectly arrogant about it,
but when you are i'll, you are just
like my own child and I am happy
then.
Dick, do you realize that no
woman like to be always the one
to follow, at least not the woman
of our day. For instance, | am
sure you would consider me as
'butting in as you would say, on
something that was none Of my
business IL l undertook to peremD-
torily tell you how you must spend
your money.
Indeed, l remember how angry
you were when we were first mar
ried when l suggested that you
might give me an allowance. You
even considered that an encroach-
ment on your rights
~ was young fool then, Mar
gie."
There was much for both Of us
to learn, Dick. |, too, have seen
and learned a good deal since ]
was married. Marriage, like any
lpolitics, is a series of compro-
mise@s'
"How do you know that politics
is a series of compromises" Dick
asked with a grin, and l knew he
would say nothing more about
my spending the check for my
dividends in my own way.
/ One of the things, little book,
that we women must learn is not
to nag. When thing is hashed
over again and again 1t is like
pouring alcohol on a sore just as
1t begins TO heat. When a man
finds that 1.-The game is up" as
he usually calls it, he puts the
whole thing from his mind as
quickly as possible.
/ really think, little book, wom-
en- are the best winners-at least
as l look about among my ac-
quaintances I find the women vino
have succeeded in life are more
charming than self-made men.
But / don't think women are good
losers. It takes a lot Of courage
to look defeat in the face and
laugh while you say, better luck
next time" and then promptly to
forget the defeat in the strenuous
work of winning the next battle
OF life that looms before you.
when do you expect to visit
Donna?" asked Dick as we were
having breakfast.
II thought that IL you felt well

iron CROSSES

v An Oregon reader of The Times has sent us one of
the buttons which employees of the Crown-Wll-
lamette paper mills wear. There is strike on there
], 1t is nice, large, round button of white enamel,
Iettered in black. There is the word " EMPLOY EE'
and beneath is crown. And super-imposed on the
crown is "W."
Below the crown and "W'' is number.
The Oregon reader mentions that he saw the
other day description of the Iron Cross with
which the kaiser rewards his soldiers for numbering
women and children.
There is crown on the Iron Cross and "W."
of course we know that the crown and 'sW" on the
paper companys button stands for "Crown-Wn-
lamette," but the Oregon reader pretends to be-
leye that the crown is the Hohenzollern crown and
That the "W'' stands for Wilhelm.
! OF course the similarity between the kaiser's
Iron Cross and the paper companys button just
happened, and it has no real significance.
/ Still when you stop to consider that the men
working in the paper mill are strke-breakers, and
That organized labor is fighting for democracy, and
that the strike-breakers' reward for taking the
bread from other mems children is button that
looks like an Iron Cross, even to the crown and the
nW,' you're bound to confess that the coinci-
Nence is odd. 1t may even make you thoughtful.

 They are motley crew and not the men we found in our first drive. Many Austrians are here and all, excepting the officers, are glad to be out of it. They say the Americans are devils and do not fight according to ethics of the game. The French here are nearly wild with joy and can't understand how it was done. One officer said they had lost 10000 men and could not dent this line. Our losses l am told are exceptionally light. We expect to go up soon again and do our bit.

WHY PLATINUM
 ISIN DEMAND

There has been considerable curios- ity in the minds of many why war has created such a demand for platinum on the part of the government" says the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. ''Those who have tried to supply the answer to the query out of their own minds, and without taking the trouble to secure the information, have per haps concluded that this precious me- tai is used in the making of some of the endless number of shells or instru- ments of warfare. That is not the case. It is not included in the com position of the guns nor the shells they fire nor the structure of airplanes. But it is used, and it is essential, in the making of suphuric acid, and sul- phuric acid is of vital importance in the making of high explosives. Sul- phuric acid, in addition to being such a factor in increasing casualty lists, is of great importance in textile work, the making of dyes, and is employed in medicine. The way that platinum is linked up with this sulphuric acid may be explained briefly as follows. Sulphuric acid is made from air, wat CT and the fumes from burning sul- phur. But when brought together they will not unite without provoca- tion, as the chemists phrase it Plat ium furnishes a sufficient amount of this provocation. The mere presence of trace of it causes the oxygen, water and sulphuric dioxide to join hands chemically; then the king of chemicals is born."
