regarding the attitude of labor in
event the Plumb bill failed of pass
age,
There has been a great deal Of
Misrepresentation published Plumb
said. TT va stated that we would
force a strike If this plan failed. No
one ever said that. In fact such a re-
port was denied by Mr.. Stone, Mr..
Morrison and myself. This fact 10 GER
tain, wage demands are pending and
the question Of a strike arose in con-
matter. It is a question OF salesman
ship and we would be blind to U
own interests If we attempted such
methods as threats OF strikes"
Answering a question of Represent

CARNATIONS had no intention of at
tempting to put the tripartite plan
into effect in other industries unless
the workers and the public desired 1t.
Suppose a majority of the farmers
OF the country concluded that this
would be best for them. do you think
they should have it?" Dewalt asked.
IF the farmers and the public
want it, yes" the witness replied. But
I think that is an absurd proposition"
Yes, that is what I am trying to
get at" the Pennsylvania said. II am
trying to reduce this thing to its point

Not a Threat.

employed united today in a definite
assertion that they had mo desire,
and have had one to impress upon
the public by violence or by threat"
their proposal hat the railroads be
n~ationalized under ~"tripartite' con-
troll.
Declaring that the requests of the
men that living costs be reduced or
their wages increased was aside from
the question of the future disposition
Of the railroad problem, the labor
leaders said that If President Wilson
and congress could not meet his re-
quest the mel would have to try to
find another solution"
While the labor leaders did not
mention the presidents address to
congress yesterday, it was the general
belief that their statement resulted
from his warning to the labor world
that strikes would only make present
conditions worse and those who sought
to employ threats or coercion were
only preparing their own destruc-
tion.'

HInnocento and kissing.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
lust read your advice on the kissing
problem the other day and it was
really the first time I ever thought
of it in just that way. / had al
ways thought it was simply case
Of like and dislike, the same as
whether you like Ice cream or not.
I never dreamed of there being any
right or wrong to it at all. Now,
Miss Fairfax, do you think that it
is morally wrong to spoon? I do
not know why, but spooning never
did appeal to me, so I haven't made
a practice of it, although I have
spent about three evenings prob
ably during my 1S years in that
silly way. But what want to know
is it really wrong as, say, taking
something that does not belong to
too?
I know lots Of girls that think
the same as I about this, but If
they thought it was really wrong I
am sure they would not do it.
I hope you have understood and
will not misjudge me.
Speaking of Innocent" I think
your answer was very good and
suited him very we'll. Isn't 1t just
like women and girls to stick up for
the boy and run the girl down? OF
course you make mistakes, but
everybody does, and all Of your an
swers I have read to letters have
seemed very sensible to me.
DOROTHY Lorraine.
I am still firm In my conviction
that promiscuous kissing is entirely
wrong. At times it is temptation,

AGAINST "InnOcent.n

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
Since innocent" has brought forth
some discussion, would like to give
my opinion of the affair. If he is a
man, or calls himself one, he will
marry the girl. There are too many
men lodging this sort of thing, and
/ say let him do his duty. II our
soldiers in France have given their
all to make the world safe for
democracy" are we going to make
democracy unsafe for the world ?"
That is what we are doing when we
let assaults and other vice pass
without punishment. Why should
the girl suffer? She should not, and
/ wish from the bottom Of my heart
that murderers of women's souls
would be shot down. Miss Fair
fax, we girls dare not trust anyone.
l am only IS yet the high school
boys are the only ones l feel safe
with. I hope innocent" will re-
member "the girl is more lone
some than himself"
Pardon this outburst, but I hope
you receive other letters about this.
Your advice Is always splendid. I
think you are very patient and
sometimes you must think we are
a deadful bore-we young people
with all our imaginary troubles
isn't that right?
Thanking you, I am,

is able to patronize the very bes,
beauty expert does not need this
advice, for it is true that being
beautiful has become one of the
modern arts. But after all nothing
so makes for beauty as perfect
health.
Baths are almost an essential to
health. The cold bath is a fine
bracer, but the hot bath is a great
cleanser.It opens the pores and gives
the body a chance to breathe.
This if adopted as a daily SEIZED
ule will attend to make milady
healthier and consequently happier
Rise at a reasonable hour-which
should be when you have eight or
nine houre >sleep-Take a hot bath
followed by a cold shower.
The best way to accomplish this
without too great shock to the sys-
tenn is to allow the water from the
cold water faucet to run gradually
after the hot bath, remaining in the
tub until the water is nearly cold
then turning on the cold spray.
Have light breakfast of fruit, in
season, coffee and toast or cereal
Take some light exercise, if your
occupation confines you too much
indoors. Let your midday meal be
light, and cultivate the habit of eat
ing your hearty meal at night.
Take good care of your complex
ion, drink occasionally strong
lemonade before breakfast, and
plenty of water during the day.
When feeling indisposed, drink
plenty of hot water, to flush the
system.

too much cold cream and massape7
A woman who is over 40, and who
has an usually clear skin, tells of her
methods, which may serve as an aid
TO the girl who wishes to improve
her complexion, and who has found
her nightly messages with cold
cream unsansfying:-
Il have never used cream to anv
great extent. I learned long since
that they give to my .face a putty
like appearance which is not becom-
ing. I battle my face never more
than twice a day and after each
bath | use the application of one
of the inexpensive but pure grades
of almond cream which is soothing
and yet acts as a slight astring-
ent.
Il never rub in cold creams at
night, though I occasionally in the
winter time use old-fashioned cam
phor-ice, which may now be pur-
chased at any good drug store.
use once week one Of the unguents,
which cleanses the pores of the skin
thoroughly, but leaves the face very
dry, and it is then that | rub in a
plentiful supply of cold cream, which
l rub off with as much care, after I
think enough has been absorbed,
which is when I feel that the
excessive dryness of the cuticles
has been overcome. use
rice powder and of a very
good grade. One box of the
powder usually lasts me at least six
months. Of course l use talcum
when bathing, but only rice powder
on the face"
This young woman happens to
have a naturally healthy skin, but
most young women will find that
the use of too much cold cream and
massage is harmful. 1t gives to the
face an unnaturally pudgy look if
used too lavishly.
Many of the cold creams have
large percent of peroxide, which will
surely harm the skin, if used to ex-
cess, giving it a parchment-like
appearance. OF course the girl who

Heartbeats
BY A. K.

We've suffered
In silence
This high cost Of living
We quietly noted
The high cost Of dying
We were ruffled of course
When our rents scared
Skyward
But we dug a bit deeper
Took a place
That was cheaper
Began a strict diet
And plodded along.
Fall days
Came upon US
We needed new dresses
New hats
New shoes T.
And many new hose
All sorts of new clothes
But when we went shopping
For a mean scanty outfit
They added
War tax
Atop of high prices.
Sadder
We admit
For we'll wear
Our old toggery-
Our diet must needs be
Much simmer we know
Old hats we'll remodel
And resurrect old shoes.
Meats!
Well not touch them!
And candies have long gone
Among the taboos-
But the thing
That's so terrorizing-
Frightfully agonizing-
Is the high cost
OF necessities
Not listed in staples.
F'rinstance:
Powders
Rouges and creams
Lotions
Mascaras-
Lip sticks
And Henna-
Tweezers
And manicures-
Beaches
And astringents
Have all gone
Sky-rocketing
Way out of sight.
These prices are awful
They are dreadful
They are scandalous-
But curtail!
Never!
Mercy me we can't.
We've stood profiteering
On rents and provisions
We've done without clothes
And been patient indeed
But we know there's a limit
To human endurance
This high cost of beauty
Is breaking our hearts.

An Opinion of "Innocent."

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
Will now write what is my opinion
of Mr.. Innocent" If he did not
want to get into trouble why didn't
he stay out Of troubles way? His
intentions undoubtedly were not
good or he would not have taken, a
girl with bad character. Namely,
the man is just as much to blame
as the woman.
For example, I am a wife living
in a nearby town. My husband sent
me and my two girls away to visit
his folks. I just begged not to go,
but mans will, as usual, was the
strongest. While I was away he
brought women from Omaha to my
home and kept them over Sunday.
Then he went to Lakeview park and
had his picture taken with these
women. Of course, he gave wagon
loads Of excuses, and Of course they
were lies, as the girls were I'M
doubtedly of bad character, for they
knew he was married man.
So, now, Mr.. innocent" here is
another man who Is guilty. Wasn't
he wrong and shouldn't he have
kept straight for the sake of his lit
tie girls? I would like to know
what some of the readers have to
say about my trouble.

Beauty in Compilations.

Beauty is but skin deep, says the
old adage. And this may be true,
but certainly it is not the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the
truth.
If it is true that beauty is skin
deep compilations must play large
part in the happiness of woman
hood. OF course, the compilations
that come in a box are easily obtain
ed and easily applied, but there is
something about the real-for-true
complexion that makes the rouged
and black-pencilled lady appear
a very ordinary person, when COM
pared to the one whose charms are
real
1t is not true that we all have
beautiful compilations, but it is true
that many of US who have not
may acquire them. There is nothing
that so ruins a good skin as too
much attention in the way of cold
cream and massage. Both are good
when used judiciously, but when
overdone they will most surely give
the face an unnatural appearance.

were absolutely puffy-looking, from
