LOOKING FOR oPPoRTUN-

A wise and honest man, q man
Of ability and earnestness, is not
troubled about looking for oppor-
tunities. Many and great oppor-
tunities everywhere are on q con-
slant outlook for such men. It
Is the numb-skull and street loafer
who Is continually talking and
complaining about the lack Of op-
portunities. As . rule his native
town Is too slow and he feels com
peeled to leave his parental back
yard for some hustling, bustling
metropolis in order to show the
world the stuff he is made Of.
Mush.
We have several such young
fellows standing around the post
Office with their hands in their
pantaloon pockets up to their ell
bows, smoking cigarettes, feeling
that our home town has
no opportunity for them. It Is .
I'd fact, but every village and
town has such serious parents.
Remember, no village is SO small
enough for every honest man Of
practical ability to be happy and

crement in this country to pay al
taxes many times over. AS it is,
it disappears into the pockets Of
them that never earned a cent
of it.
The income tax is wrong, be-
cause it fines man for being pro-
ficient. The men who get $780,
600 a year and up are the most
valuable citizens of the nation.
They ought to be petted; we soak
them. AS rule they earn their
wages, and more too They con-
tribute to the Common Good.
But the man who inherits a
million and spends his days in
playing bridge and changing his
trousers earns nothing. The

Inheritance. It is wholly arti-

The men who build, promote
and manage such things should
be paid for their services, and
paid well, but SO ought the Public
be paid for what it does.
And If the Public got its right
full pay we would not have to
have revenue spies shopping

The whole spirit of taxation, as
it Is today, is tainted with the
Bolsheyik notion that wealth,
prosperity, industry and success
are crimes, and that the shiftless,
do-less and bedragg1ed are to be
taken care Of by timing their bet
teri.
II members Of Congress could

Get Into the Habit

Once you begin getting interested in it, thrift is a fascinating game, and what is more, a game that makes you winner every time, if you play it right. Following are some rules for playing the income and outcome game right.
 fore you can save. They are: Know your needs. Count their cost. Study your spending. Prepare a plan. Make practice follow precept. Keep accounts. Review your records.
 Now as to knowing your needs, you must know that your money has to pay for food, clothing, home oper- ating expenses, personal expenses and savings
 Food should be-adequate, nutri- tious, appetizing.
 Clothing should be-healthfuI, comfortab bIe, suitable, attractive.
 Home should be-sanitary, conven- tent, pleasant.
 Operating expenses should include fuel, light, service.
 Personal expenses should include education, pleasure, gifts.
 Savings-emergency permanent
 Counting the cost means figuring up how much you should spend to meet these needs. Do you know the kinds of food on the market and what they should cost? What cloth ing to buy, and what to pay for it? How much to pay for your house or flat? How much it should cost to run t3 Lat a- little frst-hand knowl-

Oh, yes, they're in again, but not in the same way that they were back in the sixties. For one thing, the hoop of 1920 is a hip hoop, and then, un- like the one of other days, it goes with a, backless bodice-realIy no bo- dice at all.
 But to get down to particulars, the very chic particulars of the gown sketched, despite all it's elusive charm, and elusive line, it isn't beyond the home dressnaker. On inspection it reduces to the simplest of surplice and sleeveless bodices, attached to a full gathered skirt rather irregular as to it's hemline, and topping a con siderably scanter underskirt with a deep lace sham.
 Note the unique use of the lace at the waistline. It would be twice as effective there and at the ankles if it were developed of the metallic stuff Then to carry out the idea a bit further, metal ribbons might be used to make the quaintly pretty sus- penders in the picture, with finally, some dabs of dainty silk roses And the dress proper? Let that be of a luscious peach or brilliant jade taf- feta. The hoop is a simple matter of swinging a ring of featherboning from the waist on ribbons.

SLAVES OF FASHION

On the subject of Chest Deforni- ties Due to Lacing,'' Henry Ling Tay- Tor, M. D., writes in Preference Hand- book of the Medical Sciences:'' Ger tain chest deforrnities are que to pres- sure from without, and of these the commonest is the constriction of the waist and lower chest by corsets among civilized women. The use of corsets, even when loosely laced, pre- vents the proper expansion of the lower ribs in respiration and forces the breathing into the upper thorax
 The evil effort of this abronmal construction are seen not only in res ptration, but even more in the crowd ing and displacement of the viscera. The liver may be deeply indented with the marks of the compressing 2 ribs, and the ribs themselves are of ten misshapen about the waist. The stomach, intestines and peIvtc or gans are frequently displaced down ward with many resultant ills"
 But why should we blame women for this outrageous commercialized style, imposed upon them? It is no direct or primary fault of theirs. It was conceived in the mind Of the one who knew the weakness of human nature that women desired to be beautiful and therefore, this sort of thing called 8 corset was put on the market, and as long as there is pro- fit in it (be it harmful or harmless is immaterial), il must and will be sold. What is more. it is being sold in the name Of health and beauty
 Then again, why not realize the naked truth that mans view of wo- mems clothes-and of his own, which includes the stiff collar tight belt, hats and garters, is so distorted that, he, himself, is responsible to a great extent, for women dressing as pea cock-like and as harmful to health as she does. If men had a more whole some conception of dress and de- manded such, we would have it.. When women observe that the aver age man pays more attention to the 1ght-laced, high-heeled, Iow-neck V Shaped-back, short-slIirted woman. She certainly is encouraged to dress as nearly that way as possible The writer believes that so-called man. is more responsible for the silly. un- hygeinic, and barbarious practice of dress (and undress) in woman. than are women themselves.

GIVES SURVEY OF EXPERIENCES
 ABROAD

With plans for a closer companion ship and more thorough friendship among the young women of this country and those of foreign coun- tries to be carried out under the aus pices of the Y. W. c. A, Mrs. Robert L. Dickson, member of the National Board told of the reasons why such a program should at once be taken up, when she addressed a large gath ering at the association rooms on Golden Hill street, last night. Her survey of China and the far East brought a thorough report of the con ditions now existing in those places and she told at length of the many new fields the Eastern women are now entering i'll order to mingle with the new world.
 The women of China, according to Mrs. Dickson, are demanding moro and more freedom and educational advantages. They are entering all kinds of fields for sports. business and professions and are just realizing what they have been missing. In or der to be successful in her new work, the Chinese woman is appealing to the American woman for assistance. She wants @. common sense shoe for a tiny foot and close understanding of her American sister. The Y. W. c. A. is taking up the question of shoes
 yiths manufacturers and are working not alone in the interests of the Chi nese girl but also in the interest of the American woman.
 Mrs Dickson noted the new oppor- tunities of the women in India and Japan and of the many social re- forms that are now being carried out Schools are now open to women and the various educational institutions in

they know more about school affairs and their intuition will tell them what men are best qualified for office in the general elections"
 Asked how best the women of America could aid in the reconstruc- tion of Belgium aside from gifts of money, she repIiedf
 Tt Is difficult to bring about a close understanding between two peoples who speak different Ian guages, One way would be for us Belgians to learn English and you Americans to learn French
 As a means to this end she sug- gested exchange of professorshIps not only in colleges but in h gh schools.
 Herself a student of medicine and the daughter of q world famed ocu- list, the queen has been fascinated by the hospitals In thIs country and she has lost no opportunity to visit them. Her greatest ambition is to have established in Belgium an insti- tutton similar to the Rockefeller in- stitution for medical research.
 Her majesty were a gown of vel low charmeuse silk cut in long and flowing lines and admitted it was of her own designing.
 What does your majesty think of the trend of modern fashions for wOmen?" she was asked.
 "They change so often I can't keep track of them." was the laughing re- ply, What are they?"
 Short skirts came first to mind.
 T do not wear them" she re- sponded with a shrug of her shouI- ders, ''I am always behind the pro- cessi on.'
 The prediction was made that the preference for turbans would estab- fish & new millinery mode in th1s country, and the queen explained why she a-ways wears close fitting hats. She originated the style during the war when she found 1t so convenient to wind 9 simple piece of six around her hair when she visited the trenches or the hospitals. She has become so attached to the idea that she positively refuses to abandon it.
