ing half enough for their footwear
It's very easily explained-high
prices always are if you have ever
noticed. Although high finance is
quite beyond us the middle class will
continue to pay-and pay-that is
the ultimate conclusion when all is
said and done.
Dame Fashion must be receiving a
share of, the profits or perhaps a
bonus, for heartlessly she demands
that Our shoes be elaborate to the
nth degree. None of the low-heeled,
rubber-soled affairs, thank you, but
fllnsy creations with thin leather
soles, high heels, fancy uppers, ex-
treme lasts and all the other bits of
foot vanity that men are in the
habit of pooh-poohing and admiring.
The styles the thing, and it is
a bit hard to be placed in the has
been" class when one longs to be
among the "up to the minutes" But
little thing like expense should
not deter US for it certainly hasn't
annoyed the lords of high finance
in the least. What matters it if you
have to pay a dollar for nickeps
worth of lunch or if tax is laid
on all the dire necessities of life,
including face powder and movie
tickets, one might just as well be
dead as out of style--so on with
the dance-we care nothing for ex-
penses these days. there are 80
many of them, we'll just> cut out
the butter and buy shoes, we sup
pose.
THE Prince of Wales might drop
peg or two in his own royal
- estimation if he could hear
the careless comments passed upon
his appearance. Gabby was reading
bit of story to crowd of pretty
Omaha lassies, displaying his most
recent picture, and expecting a flut
ter of hearts, but alas!
Less than medium size, 5 feet 6
inches, and very slender, with sunk
en- chest He changed the custom
among British officers of wearing a
mustache because he couldn't raise
one. He is pleasant and at home
they call him David.
He loves animals and was once
described as 'fonder of his bull pup
than of any girl" When little
boy he said, when I am king !
shall make three laws: No one shalt
cut the tails of the little dogs; there
shall be no more fishing with hooks,
and no one shall use bearing reins
TO hurt horses" He smokes cigar
cts and an odorous pipe.
I'D rather have a regular HE
man for mine" commented one maid
in Omaha.
"Hc looks. like he had adenoids,"
shifted another.
"Uh, how I hate the sissy way he
combs his hair" came from a pretty
blonde
Give me the kind that loved
Olive Thomas up Stairs and
Down."
"If I had to choose between that
colorless creature and Bill Hart
I'd take Bill every time
whats his honest-to-g goodness
name?" inquired pink-sweatered
miss.

Albert Christian George Andrew

Help" shouted the chorus. mo
wonder he's anaemic and has ade-
noids and combs his hair funny I'll
bet when he gets angry he says
fudge or mercy me- or uses some
other dreadful expression"
Now, Omaha men, you see where
there isn't such a great advantage
in being prince after all. These

NO LONGER is the woman to
N be the silent partner. Indeed,
~ some of our well-known mat
rons are daily ec!ipsing their hus-
bands in business, politics. and
other lines. Formerly the woman
shone in the reflected glory of her
husband; henceforth she will reflect
her own glory. An instance of this
came to light recently and those
who know are silently chuckling to
themselves.
1t seems that one of our promi-
nent business men discovered that
a friend had been arrested upon
some flimsy excuse. Always gen.
erous and willing to help everyone,
he Immediately 'phoned to the po-
lice station and stated that he would
furnish bail.
WHO are you?" was the question
which was asked of him.
Confidently the man gave his
name and occupation. The person
at the other end of the line did not
seem to be at all impressed. Think
ing that perhaps he had not been
explicit Mr.. Man repeated his state
ments. Nevertheless, the person to
whom he was talking protested that
he knew no such person. After re-
peated explanations the person at
the police station inquired.
Perhaps you are the husband OF
Mrs. -" mentioning the name
OF woman who is prominent in
charitable rganizations.
"Er-Yes," was the only answer
the thoroughly subdued man could
give.

we were in the very thickest of the
fray and the brides-to-be said, after
the war" With true industry they
stitched the days away on lovely,
fragile things for the new home
and all was going merry as mar
riage bell.
In vain we wait for engraved bits
of cardboard to bid us to the nup-
tals, eagerly we listen that we may
catch some hint of the wedding date

be no great hurry, the young women
look very happy and contented but,
are delightfully."- indefinite concern
ing their future plans,
One of the girls is extremely
athletic, in fact her hobby is horse
back riding. She would make
charming bride and we are hoping
that nothing has really happened to
shatter the dream. The young man
in question has forsaken military af-
fairs so we hear, and entered busi-
ness, perhaps he is piling up the
dollars, that might be plausible ex-
Cuse.
The other couple are so very
prominent, we must be careful not
to give too many hints. She is one
of the prettiest of the young girls
and her personality corresponds,
while everyone agrees that he is
splendid chap. Such an ideal COM
bination, we trust sincerely that the
hint of broken promises is not true.

BANDITS MUST BE PUNISHED
Cash VIII Not Be Accepted as Com
pensation, Says Congressman Por-
ter OF Pennsylvania, Who Has
Charge of Matter in House.

Washington, Jan. 20-"If reports Of
the murderOf American citizens in the
Tampico oil fields are true, some action
must be taken by this country to bring
Pie Mexican government to book" de-
clared Representative Stephen G. Por-
ter of Pennsylvania.
Representative Porter is ranking mi
nOrity member of the house commit
tee on foreign relations, and will be
chairman in the next congress.
Congressional interest ia the Mexi-
can situation has been intensified by
news that has come to senators and rep
reSentativeS that a considerable num-
Der of employees some of them Ameri-
cans, in the Tampic0 fields, which are
controlled by American and British
companies, have been murdered during
the past year.
Overlooked During War.
These killings appear to have had
no publicity because the attention Of
the worlj has been conferred upon the
war
a movement is under way in con-
gress for the collection of American
claims in Mexico, and there have been
many expressions of resentment at
the proposal embodied in the new
Mexican constitution for the confisca-
ton of American properties.
But reports that American citizens
have been murdered In cold blood
by Mexican bandits who have gone
unpublished have incensed members of
congress and the sentiment for dras-
tic action is rapidly crystallizing.
Representative Porter said:
ut is bad enough for property to be
damaged and confscated, but claims
for property damages are always sus-
ceptible to settlement with money.
But money will not settle claims
for loss Of life. There may be pay
ments in satisfaction of such claims,
but they do not wipe off the slate
clean.
IF American citizens have been
shot down in Mexico as is alleged, we
should demand and insist upon the

WHEN THE ANNAMITES FEAST
Their Camp Cooks Prepare Meals
Which Are Unlike Any Served Up
to the Other Allies.

During a day of repose / took occa-
sion to visit an Annamite camp, writes
lie Roy -Baldridge in Asia Magazine
A bit of French landscape has been
turned into AMMAN. Here one finds
neither adrian" barracks nor old
stone farmhouses with roofs of red
tile. Instead are the pagodas of the
Orient, artistica1ly fashioned of trees,
banboos, branches and straw. AS we
pass the kitchen we see at once that
the dejeuner being prepared is not for
Frenchmen. Most prominent is ket-
tie three feet in diameter containing
rice. Which is the one thing POilu
cannot be forced tor eat! Before the
cook clamps back the lid we notice
In the center of the white steaming
mass bowl of onions for fiavOring.
Squatted near by the assistant cook
with his couteau-a broad-ended,
curved Chinese blade two feet In
length-chops up meat into little
squares as he chants something with
an appropriate rhythm the while. A
driver comes for his meal. The cook
drops ladleful of rice on one side OF
the extended plate and on the other
a little cube of boiled meat and in the
center splash of sauce. The sauce
Is the mystery. No Frenchman could
explain 1t to me except in terms Of
violent gesticulation. Then instead Of
taking out a scouteau d'Apache" as
all the rest of us do, and starting by
slicing off hunk of dark army bread
from the loaf which every Poilu keeps
concealed somewhere about his per-
son, our yellow comrade produces two
sure-enough chop sticks from an In
ner pocket, and, sitting down on the
running board Of his truck, enters
upon that fascinating feat Of dining
against the laws OF gravity.
