Artist or Cool?

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:

work.
Now, what want to ask you is:
Can a woman be a cartoonist? /
have heard that woman cannot; is
this true?
1 have also planned on going to
college to take a four years course
in domestic science. Would you ad-
wise me to do this after l graduate

Is cartoon work a paying bust

EXTRA LONG WEAR
FROM SHOES

T. D. Collins Of OokaIa. Hawaii,
makes a remarkable statement which
demonstrates the rnoney-saving dura-
biitv Of Neolin Soles.
He writes, "After wearing a pair of
Neolin-soled shoes off and on for
thirty-three months, wore them on
a trip to the volcano of Kilauea and
walked around the crater over hot lava
six times and still the soles showed
only slight signs Of wear"
This experience is not accidental.
1t results from the scientific process
by which Ne0lin Soles are made to be
exactly what soles should be-com-

A Good Idea.


Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
In the last year Uncle Sam has
demonstrated what conservation can
do; the little things count.
One spoonful of sugar saved by
each person, Tie result surprised us
all.
Many housekeepers would gladly
save If they but knew how.
A neighbor said to me: "How
glad / would be If l could make as
nifty a dress out of a eastoff dress
and skirt as you have made"
Would it not pay for any com
pany or factory that employs a
large number of people to enter one
more on their payroll and teach the
home-maker how to conserve-,an
instructor who has had experience
in conserving through necessity?
You know necessity was the
mother of invention"
To be able to live within an in
come insures contentment, possibly
would help prevent strikes.
A PATRIOTIC MOTHER.
This is a good idea. We hope en-
ployers will note. The home
demonstration agent, Miss Chamber
lin, teaches the mother at home.

Foolish Worry.
Dear Miss Fairfax. Omaha Bee:
I have come to you for a little ad-
vice, am Is years old and started to
go out with a very good looking
fellow of almost 20, after taking me
out two or three times I brought
him to my home one evening my
folks were out and he insulted me.
l told him he didn't care enough for
me and would soon go aorund saying
wasn't a good girl. He said he
would not, but would go steady with
me, but after that night he called me
on the phone once and didn't say
anything much. He speaks to me
when he meets me and that is all,
and I feel he is telling other boys
about me because they all stare at
me and 1t seems like he points me
out. / feel like want to walk up to
him some time and roast him
proper. Now Miss Fairfax, I am a
decent girl and would feel awful
to have my name disgraced as I
have so many sisters and a brother
that are respected nice by all peo-
pie. Would you advise me to speak
to this fellow and what shall 1 say
to him. Thanking you for the adj
vice, HELEN.
Pay no attention to him and don't
worry. He isn't worth your thoughts.

afford transverse routes to points
along their shores, the great expanss
of the country is unprovided with we'll
made roads. Transportation from
points lying at distance from the
main route is, therefore, costly and
difficult. Only a limited quantity of
grain can be hauled out of the country
to the railroad, while the railroad it
self is not able to take care of the
grain that could be easily produced
by the peasant population of Siberia
in good seasons. The result is that
large crop of grain forces down the
local price, so that the peasant actual
ly finds that large crop brings him i'm
less money and causes him extra work
The greatest need of Siberia i'm the
immediate future is improvement in
roadways, so that communication may
be easy from interior districts where
grain can be raised, to railways and
especially to water routes by which
the grain can be carried out of the
country The improvement of the ST.
berian railway was already in hand
under the American railway commits
sion in 1917, when the bolshevik rev.
olution occurred and put stop to the
work. 1t will be comparatively easy
to increase the carrying capacity O.
the Siberian road very largely by phys.
zeal improvements, and by better man
agement, particularly in diSpatching
trains by a comprehensive system
Roadways by which Siberian COM
merce can be extended from the rail-
way route to the interior districts
should be improved and extended i'm
the very near. future.
Caravan roads of southern Siberia
include among the most important, the
route from Petropavlovsk down to tine
river Ischim, past the Onlutav noun
tains and the river Sary-Su to Bulk
hara, and from the same city by the
river Tchaglinka, past a number of
lakes to Akmolinsk, Nourinsky and fn--
to TurkeStan.

through 50 degrees or l0ngl-
tude, and has an area of 100000
square miles. The colonization of ST.
IBERIA by emigration from Russia re-
quired movement of population
which would be facilitated by the
opening of roads for wagon transport.
1t was in. 1922 that the town of
Ekaterinburg was founded, and in 1853
plans were made for projecting a road
toward Tiumen and thence across the
Siberian steppes. The route followed
was that of the present Siberian rail-
way. Work was delayed for some
years by changes of government, but
the road was finally completed along
the line proposed.
Over this main Siberian highway
passed thousands of colonists, many of
them political eXlles from Russia, 9th
erS Cossack soldiers directed to take
up their residence along the main ST.
berian route for the purpose of mill
tary protection, says writer in
Magazine Russia. The road formed
a main line of connection between
scattered settlements of natives of
various races, who had previously
made limited use of trails and rivers
for intercourse with each other, and
for commerce with the world outside.
1t formed the only route by which the
interior of Siberia could be reached
from east or west; while the only 9th
er routes were the caravan trails
across the mountains and deserts to
the south, and the difficult passages
of the Kara sea into the mouths of
the Oh and Yenesei rivers.

OF the main highways used as pos
tai routes, the principal road is the
famous SibirskyTrakt, over 1000
miles long, following, as has been said,
the same route as the Trans-Siberian
railway Most of this road could be
covered easily by vehicle, except in
the stretch between Sretensk and
KhabarOvSk. Between those towns
about $40 miles of road can be made
by vehicle, while the rest, $50 miles,
is covered by pack-horse trail over
the mountains, giving an alternative
route to the river Shilka. The trail is
used through the fall and spring only,
while the river serves for boat trans
port in summer, and sledge transport
over the ice in winter. The portion
Of the route between the river Shilka
and Khabarovsk is called the Amur
Highway.
Another important main highway is
the Irkutsk- Yakutsk Trakt, 1,84O miles

in length, of which $50 miles are pass
able by vehicle. The remainder of the
distance is covered by the river Lena
in summer by boat and in winter over
the ice by sled. The highway from
Omsk through Semipalatinsk to Altai-
skaya follows the river Irish and has
a length of 760 miles. There is also
main highway from Tomsk to Semi
palatinsk a distance Of 40 miles.
All the above highways were i'm
portant links in the governmental con-
troll of Siberia from Russia. Over these
roads couriers, police and soldiers
could pass readily from center to cen
ter, keeping all settled parts of the
country in communication with the cen
trail government. The main Siberian
road is now largely disused on account
of the superior communication offered
by the Trans-Siberian railway, and the
other highways will eventually be
paralleled by railways as well. None
of these roads is paved or improved
in any way which would be considered
as acceptable for main road in Amer
lea. The absence of stone in much
of Siberia will make it difficult to pave
them, though much could be done by
establishing brick works and surfacing
the roads with brick. in which case
motor truck transport would form an
important auxiliary to the railway.

DECLARATION OF
THE ALSATIANS

Paris. Dec. s.-Jean Francois, the
youngest member of the chamber Of
deputies from Alsace-Lorraine. born
tn 1884, in Moselle, was selected to
read the declaration Of the Alsatian
deputies to the French chamber today.
Twenty-four deputies from the re-
trieved provinces decided upon the
terms Of the declaration and elected
him. spokesman.
''The Germans have nbt renounced
IAlsace- Lorraine" the declaration says.
1.-THE decision of the people against
Germany has not reconciled the. Ger
mans to the loss Of the two provinces.
Germany does not understand the
verdict OF the election of November
16, last. BY every artince Germany has
tried to falsify that vote. For ten
months past she has been flooding the
retrieved provinces with so!cdlled
autonomist literature. The nation Of
pillagers has one sentimental ro-
nance; the possession Of Alsace Is
now, as ever. q casus belli." ~.
Premier Clemenceau, the last sur
vivor of the national assembly Of Bor-
deaux, which sat In 1871, planned to
reply to the declaration.

ing permission to the men from Al
SAGE and Lorraine to speak at the qp-
