Happy Youth.

It is so easy to say the word that
checks laughter; to scowl at the exu-
berance that bubbles over In foolish
girl and boy jests. 1t is difficult for us
Of an older generation to remember
how, when we were young, we loved
to laugh and sing and dance and make
merry. Youth is SO sensitive and 1t is
so easy to spoil an evening with just
a glance or an impatient word. When
one comes In, glowing from wonder
full evening querulous voice or a
faultfinding word is like sticking a pin
into a gay balloon. Sympathy Is so
much better. Even IL youth Is head
strong the faultflnding does not do very
much good, but often harm. But SYM
pathy gains confidence, and confidence
between the young and the old Is
great safeguard for youth and well
worth cultivating.

WASH YOUR FACE AT NIGHT
This 10 Advice Of Expert Who De-
clares That II Is the Fret
Law Of Beauty.

The first law Of beauty Is not to
leave powder on the fact over night,
to say nothing of rouge. 1t Is enough
to ruin the most beautiful skin event
ually, and its effect on a complexion,
which had no real claims to beauty,
Is nothing short of disastrous, declares
beauty expert. Powder Is usually
put on over coating of cold cream to
make 1t stick. This paste, left on all
night, clogs the pores. The skin habit
uated to this treatment is pasty and
sallow, without life, and usually the
pores are enlarged from the deposits
Of powder.
1t seems so simple to slip into bed
at once when you are tired and II
seems hard to take the time and en-
ergy to give your face a good clean
ing. But really 1t Is worth the effort,
for by staying up ten minutes more
to wash out all vestige of cosmetics
you will keep your skin lovely.
The nightly cleaning should be the
most important and the most thor
ough of all. If 1t Is properly done, all
that will be necessary in the morning
will be the cold sponge off. At night,
however all the dust and dirt Of the
day has settled on the face, besides
the cold cream and powder, and 1t
needs good scrubbing to get 1t or.

Of the handsome long coats they must
be dressy, and the result Is all that
could be desired.
Muffs developed to accompany these
little dressy coats are quite small. The
canteen-shaped muff is one of the pop
ular shapes. Some new muffs are
given an unusual touch by having each
hand opening bordered with a row Of
short tails, set on fringe fashion.
Wolf pelts are being pushed as
strong rivals Of fox for muff and scarf
sets this winter. Wolf skins are cheap
er than fox and they are said to wear
better.

SHORT FUR COAT.
Smart New Garment One of Nov
elites of the Season.
Introduction Due Partly to Scarcity Of
Materials and Certainty Of
High Prices.

The short fur coat introduced this
season is inclined to become a really
dressy garment. For years, in fact.
one might safely say always, the short
fur coat has ben classed with sport
garments, and has been rather severe,
square cut and boxlike, comfortable
looking, but not dressy.
This season fur garment manufac-
turers and designers have brought out
innumerable capes that were fitted or
semi-fitted, rather after the fashion
Of the dolman developed from time to
time In cloth. Some of these capes
are equipped with sleeves, others are
sleeveless.
The latest novelty, however, Is the
short coat that Is semi-fitted by being
drawn in at the waistline with a belt
of fur or handsome silk cord girdle.
More often than otherwise two kinds
of fur are combined In these garments.
The sketch illustrates coat Of the
type described. 1t is made of mole
skin and Is trimmed with Hudson seal,
this latter fur being used for high
flaring collar and deep cuffs. The
coat buttons comfortably and securely
In the center front.
The possibility Of fur shortage
early in the season, and the certainty
that the prices of frrs would be very
high, probably had good deal to do
with the Introduction of smart and
dressy short fur coat. Designers real
lied that in order to make them rivals

NO COMPROMISE FOR KAIsERIsM.

= Nothing be gained now by discussing
peace terms. Germany is still arrogant and in
solent Her rulers have not grasped the spirit
of the war on autocracy They won't see it. They
will have to feel it. 1t will have to be shot into
them by allied guns.
The allies have accepted Americas unselfish
war aims announced by President Wilson His
address to the world at Washington's tomb ex-
presses the spirit of America.
There can be no compromise between that
spirit and Prussianism. They are far apart as
the poles. Diplomats can't sit around table
and shake diplomatic dice for world stakes
All the world knows what we are fighting for.
The war must go on until we have won all that
we are fighting for--which, in essence is the
right of all the people everywhere on earth to
the right of life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness, unmolested by and any two-legged
men who claim to rule their fellows by divine
right.
Until the German kaiser understands that
until it is pounded into him and all his associates
and all other autocrats everywhere nothing can
be gained by discussing terms of peace
On with the war; Kaiserism must be eternal
ly and everlastingly licked.

HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS.

To successfully finance the war it is necessary
that owners of Liberty bonds hold their bonds
If possible. Where for any good reason it is
necessary for them to turn their bonds into
cash they should seek the advice of their
bankers.
Liberty loan bonds are very desirable invest
ments, and crafty individuals are using various
means to secure them from owners not familiar
with stock values and like matters One method
is to offer to exchange for Liberty bonds stocks
Or bonds of doubtful organizations represented
rs returning a much higher income than the
bonds.
Ihere are various other methods used and
likely to be used, some of the gold-brick variety
ana others less crude and probably within the
limits OF the law. All offers for Liberty bonds
except for money and at market value should
De scrutinized carefully The bonds are the SAT-
est OF investments and have nontaxable and
other valuable features
To hold your Liberty loan bonds, if possible
is patriotic. To consult your bankers before
selling them is wise.

CITY BOYS ON FARMS.

Untried theory, often the stumblng-block to
progress. was again proved of no practical value
when the department of labor authorized the
Organization of the u. S. boys working reserve
Under the plan put into effect by the labor de-
partment thousands of city boys have been
trained in agriculture and placed upon the farms
of the country, where they today rendering
valuable aid in saving the crops.
In spite of the fact that passed experience with
city men and city boys had made the farmer
skeptical as to the value of this class OF labor
there were those who believed that the Amer
lean boy was capable of development along any
line of useful activity. A little over year ago
the u S. boys working reserve was organized
with the specific object of training replace
ment force to fill vacancies on farms and in in
dustries.
That the Judgment of those who conceived this
broad plan for creating an agricultural and in
dustrial "army behind the army was well
founded is indicated by the fact that today there
are over 200, 900 youths between the ages of 16
and 81 either at work upon farms, in training at
agricultural colleges and camps enrolled in the
reserve awaiting assignment
At the agricultural school of Pennsylvania
State college over one thousand city boys were
trained for farm work during the spring of 1918.
These boys have been distributed upon the farms
of the state and reports indicate that 90 per
cent of them made good.
Maine, Massachusetts,, Vermont, Connecticut,
New Jersey, Indiana, Colorado and Nevada have
established farm training camps through which
a stream of competent labor flows from the
cities to the farms
For the training of this army of agriculturists
country have volunteered their services All that
youth can absorb of farm lore in the short pc
riod at the disposal of the instructors is placed
before him and he leaves the camp with the rudi-
| ments of agricultural practice and practical farm
work well learned.

.RIDE WITH ME-"

Here is good chance for every auto driver
to do his bit in showing Americas apprecia-
ton Of her fighting boys:
"Give 'em lift"
When you are driving downtown and you see
a Yank or Jackie standing on the corner wait
ing for street car or hoofing it along the side
walk, give him lift Let him ride with you,
and insist on his doing so. Americas truest
manhood is clothed in khaki and navy blue.
Boys from the very best families in this entire
land wear those uniforms nowadays, and they
always have. They are all some mothers boy
some mothers pride.
So, if you're going near his destination, give
him lift far you go. Maybe it wouldn't
interfere with your plans to go bit out of your
way and set him down at station, armory or
wherever he's headed for. And, remember, when
out driving in the evening, let sailor or a SOL
der ride with you the way out Better still
let two or three hop in for the evenings SPIN
The patriotic thing to do therefore, is when you
see sailor or soldier going your direction, is
to stop and ask him if he is going your way-if
he is going in your direction, and ask him if
he wants a lift. Make it evident to him that
you will be pleased to have him ride with you
You cannot do too much for him, and the least
you can do is to give him lift.
