Any Woman Can Learn to Be Her Own Manicure With
 out Big Outlay
By Edith Hyde

"The Girl of the Golden Apple"
 The woman who would be beau tiful must take care of her nails They make or mar the hands. Any woman can learn to be her own manicurist, without an elaborate outfit. Four implements-sharp curved scissors, naiI-file, chamois- covered polisher and orange stick are all that are essential
 To prepare for manieuring the fingers should be held a few min utes in warm, soapy water, which is better if it has a dash of tine ture of benzoin, or perfumed water. The object is to soften the nails for cutting and filing. They should be kept the exact length of the fingers, and trimmed in 2 graceful oval curve After trimming, and while they are still soft, push the skin down closeiy about the roots, so that the deli cate hued lunula, or half-moon will show. Do not trim off this scarf-skin; if it has been neglect ed time and patience will be nee essaly. Push the skin back gently with the tip of the file, and avoid breaking it.
 Don't use too much cosmetic powder on the nails; a too-deeP tint is vulgar. A little polishing powder should be used once or twice a week, and lightly rubbeS with the chamcis polisher to give the. finishing touch.
 Do not clean your nails with a pointed instrument If you have hard, brittle nails, rub cold cream, vaseIine. or almond oil on them before retiring. If your nails are tender and delicate, use wax and alum to strengthen them A cut lemon is useful to strengthen the nails and to correct a tendency to agnails (calied hangnails popular ly).
 Very fine emery tinted with car mine is the simplest nail powder used, but oxide of tin perfumed with a few drops of lavender or violet oil and tinted with carmine is better. No powder should De used oftener than once or twice a week
 After polishing. dip the tips of the fingers again in the warm water and wipe them dry, remoy- ing. every trace of the powder.

FUEL SHIP CHOSEN
 FOR ATLANTIC FLIGHT
Route for Trans-Oceanic Trip Still to Be Selected by
 Naval Chiefs

WASHINGTON, April 4-Besides tn edestroyers which will patrol the course to De mapped for naval sea planes 1T, their proposed flight across the Atlantic ocean in May fuel ship, probably the Melville. will be station ed along the route so that if neces- sary the planes can take nfuel at sea.
 Acting Secretary Roosevelt said to- day that the route had not been se- lected; that if it were decided to fly direct to Ireland the fuel ship would meet the planes in mid-ocean and that if the course were via the Azores the rendezvous would be somewhere be- tween these islands and the starting point
 Some officers believe that the ma chimes to make the flight will be able to carry sufficient flel for a non stop flight, but adverse winds LOT bad weather might so reduce fhe speed of the craft that they would be forced to E -reDlenish their supply of gasoline.
 Results of experiments conducted as a preliminary to the flight and de tails of the flight itself are being care fully guarded.

HOW WILSON DEALT
 DIRECTLY WITH HUNS
 TOLD BY WIRE CHIEF
President Communicates With Germans by Wireless,
 Breaking Precedent

NEW YORK, April 4.-The story of how President Wilson broke diplo- matic precedent on October 20, 1918, by direct barley with the Germans, was told here today by c. NJ. Ripley, a wireless specialist of the General Electric company.
 It Wa sexactly at noon on October 20. MT. Ripley said. when an opera tor in the naval wireless station at New Brunswick startled American and allied government wireless operators with tn ecall:
 'POZ- Z-POZ- Z-POZ-NEFF
 Translated, the call mean that 'NFF,' the Brunswick station, was calling "POZ," the German govern ment wireless station at Nauen.
 Visions of daring treachery on the part of some naval wireless operator o requally daring German spy opera ton, Mir. Ripley imagines, fitted through the minds of operators who were not lon the inside" of Presi- dent Wilson's plan.
 Almost immediately there flashed  back from the Nauen station the pat ronizing comment:
 Your signals are fine. old man."
 Then the New Brunswick operator began sending President Wilson's first message to the German people, couch ed in plain, terse English, and inform ing them that no peace negotiations could hc oon,;da-ad ,,nf;1 Willie m, Hohenzollern stepped down and out.
 From that time until the signing of the armistice, MT. Ripley said. the president maintained direct wireless communication with German, couch ing all his messages in plain English which the allied governments could pick up by wireless and giving the texts to the American public as soon as the messages had been sent.

HINES CHARGES THAT COAL TRUST EXISTS
 DENIED BY DEALERS
Price Fixing Row Brings Dec laration That Fuel Men
 Have Combined

WASHINGTON. April 4.-Charges made yesterday by Director General Hines that bituminous coal operators were attempting 10 eliminate compet- ton from the industry in order te force the public to pay unnecessarily high prices were denied tonight by J. D. A Morrow. general secretary of the National Coal association. The coal operators represented through the coal association, recens-y refused to resume conferences with the indus trial board of the department of com merce with view to price fixing un- less the board could guarantee, the "co-operaiion of the railroad admin istration."
 Mr Morrow in statement asserted that from the outset of conferences with the railroad administration re garding tn erailrOad fuel policy, the coal operators had declined to discuss prices, just as the director general had refused to name price which he considered fair for any district. The operators insisted, he said, that any determination of fair prices should be made by an impartial agency
 Tt should be clearly understood, he said. that the bituminous coal mining industry woald moi advocate such price determination under nor nal conditions The industry has rec ognized, however, that under the ab- normal conditions of readjustment with widespread unemployment and unrest, a special condition prevails which should be met broadly and un- selfishly and the operators have ex- pressed their readiness to meet this condition in that manner The direc- tor general to date has not appeared willing to deal with this condition in that manner"
 Replying to the assertion of Direc- tor General Hines that the present arrangements for obtaining railroad fuel adequately safeguarded the pub lie interests involved, MT. Morrow de clared that as much harm had been done to the industry by permitting coal spectators to bid on the rail road business without naming the mine sfrom which the coaI was to come as by permitting purchasing agents of the various roads to name prices which operators would have to meet to obtaine share of the busi- ness. which policy MT. Hines prohib- ited & S a
 MT Morrow declared that a fair dis tribution Of railroad coal orders Tor the various districts would not be ob tained by permitting the purchasing agent Of each railroad to buy. it's own coal
 Mir Morrow also said that the rail road administration had failed tC make public all bids on railroad coal even though the director general had repeatedly promised that this woul; be done.

THE NEW TREASON.

On his appearance as witness be-
fore the House Post Office Committee
at Washington il developed that Ed
ward Reynolds, formerly General
Manager Of the Postal Telegraph
Company, had been dismissed by
Postmaster General Burleson for re-
fusing to comply With orders issued
after the telegraphs and telephones
had been taken over.
Having made this fact a matter of
record, Chairman Moon proceeded on
a line of questions indicating his be-
lief that Mr.. Reynolds had been
guilty Of high crimes and INSIDE
meanors. You were dismissed be-
cause you were treasonable?" and
"You were disloyal to Mr. Burleson|
he asked, to which the witness in
dignantly responded in the negative.
We used to suppose that treason
against the United States consisted
only in levying war against them
or in adhering to their enemies,
giving them aid and comfort" but
the authors of that clause in the
Constitution did not know Albert
Sidney Burleson of Texas. If they
had even suspected that he would
one day come upon the scene and
be in charge of all means of COM
munication, they would have pre-
scribed the death penalty for any
hireling who vofitured to question
the Burlesonian authority.

DON'T DESPAIR.

Colored man, don't dispair. This
is your country. Jim Growing you,
robbing you of the ballot, railroadlng
you TO the penitentiaries, swinging
you from the scatfold and roasting
you alive at stake, are not evidences
that this is not your country. You
were made a citizen of this country
by the law and the mob cannot take
the citizenship away which 1t did
not give. You went on time of war
and did your duty. You are coming
back, and when you return and find
all is peace, begin again those duties
which make for peace.
Your time is in His hands. He
will repay. There have been darker
days In America for you than these.
The shadow of human slavery once
stalked about the land and fingered
in the South. That shadow has pass
ed. There was once Supreme
Court decision in this country which
said that a Negro had no rights
which a white man was bound to
respect" That court has reversed
itself There was time when IL
q Colored person was caught trying
TO understand the mystery of the
written or printed page, he had vio-
lated the law. That law has been

the changes all this whole issue
would run over with these conquer
ing truths. But what's the use?

NEGRO SOLDIERS IN TRAINING.

Those who felt that Negroes should
not be armed. and that, If they were
armed, they should not be allowed
to go into any of the Southern
camps, have long since changed their
minds, because Negroes have been
drafted by hundreds of thousands; ;
they have been put into nearly all of
the camps, North and South; and as
far as my observation goes in the
ten camps visited the Negro has
turned out about as good a soldier
in Camp Sheridan. Alabama or Camp
Shelby, Mississippi. as he has in
Camp Dix, New Jersey, or Camp
Meade, Maryland.
The different ways that these men
are being selected and put into the
positions for which they are best
suited, the moral safeguards that
the. Army throws around them, the
great amount of physical training
they get, the way in which every
man is being trained to look cut
for himself, the real interest taken
by the company commanders in theiI
men personally, the excellent care
they have in case of sickness, the
extreme care at the average camp
to keep things clean. the correct
personal habits that the officers try
TO deyelon in their men, and the
work of the medical men in look
ing after the health of every man
in camp-all these go to show that
the United States Army when it
comes to the matter of developing
men), If Il does not lead the world
for speed and efficiency, cannot be
very far behind the leader. The
officers seem bent on one desire and
one object-to sift until the right
job is found for every man.
