Editor The Times:
Dear Sir-WhIe so much is being said and
done to prevent the spread of influenza and other
contagious diseases would like to call your atten-
ton to the dangerous habit ladies have Of
carrying their money loosely in their handbags
alongside of their soiled and probably infected
handkerchiefs
Do you not think it would be step in the right
direction if something were done to compel ladies
to carry their handkerchiefs in a separate pocket
made for that purposef
Hoping you will give this matter pub
licity through your valued paper, am,

HEARD AND SEEN

Just ahead Of the Betty Lehman
Flag, in the Homecoming parade,
marched 100 men in sailor uniform.
They were Washington boys, who
have been In the navy during the
war and were discharged. Some Of
them have had heroic experiences.
It's q little late for this sort Of
thing, but to my way Of thinking.
they didn't get enough publicity.

ANOTHER DAY OF MIRACLES.

When Christ was on earth he per-
formed miracles by the laying on OF
hands. But he was Christ, the Son
of God.
Today another miracle man is com
ing into the limelight. he IS Billy
Mays, and he performs IN an lmpro-
yised sanitarium provided by the
citizens of New Carlisle, Ind.
No one processes to be able to
solve the mystery of the power OF his
hands. Even medical men are at sea,
'tis said. But his patients INCLUDE
people from all walks of life, and
there seems to be little doubt as to
the efficacy of his electrical touch.
And, strange to say, there appear
to be few scoffers at this new man OF
miracles.
Is history repeating itself, or have
we really men in existence VINO, by
touch of their hands, can cause the
lame to walk and the sick to become
well?
1t will be interesting to watch the
career of this young man.
If his success continues we might
have him touch the profteer and
cause him to reduce his prices to nor
NAL.
He might stroke the hairy face of
the red and convert him into a law
abiding citizen.
He might cause the capitalist and
the laborer to work together in har-
mony.
And, as the supreme effort of his
career, he might wave the wand OF
his potency over the heads Of con
gress and the president and lead
them to an amicable solution of the
contested sections of the treaty OF
peace and the league of nations.
And that, we think, would be some
miracle.

The Arkansas supreme court this

SUCH A NAUGHTY MAN!

A New York doctor by the name OF
Simon says that ''as civilization pro-
crosses women grow uglier."
Tut, tut, piffie, and little more
1t can't be possible that this poor
male creature ever had wife, or
mother, or a sister, or a sweetheart.
or he would not thus have traduced
the fairest flower that scents the
earth and dime the radiance OF the
sun.
The milk of human kindness and
the essence of compassion have oozed
from the heels of this descendant OF
the monkey, and have left him a glib
boring, chattering prototype OF ms
hairy ancestor.
Women growing uglier?
Look around you! Note the fresh
ness. the bloom and the intellect OF
the women of this town.
Does any man dare to characterize
our women as less beautiful or charm
ing than they were when civilization
was young?
Out upon this blasphemer! He is
the reincarnation of an ape. come to
earth again to cast the blight of his
shadow upon the mother of man and
the hope of the world.

INDIAN is SELECTED AS
MODEL YANKEE SOLDIER

Washington, Dec. 17.-Otis w.
Leader, a Choctaw Indian of Calvin,
Okla, who was with the artillery
force which fired the first American
shots in the world war, and who,
after having engaged in the major
operations of Chateau Thierry, st.
Mihiel and the Argonne, was "still
present and accounted for" when the
last guns of the war were fired, has
been selected as a model by the
French artist, Dewarreux, for a por-
trait of a typical American soldier.
Leader, who trained with the fla
nous Blue Devils when he went to
France, was almost continuously un.
der fire. AT Chateau Thierry he was
cited for fighting with the infantry
for three days after the entire gun
crew to which he had been attached
had been killed. During the engage.
ment he succeeded in capturing tive
machine guns and Is prisoners.

Germans Fear Harm to

BERLIN, Oct 23.-The Germans are
fearful that thousands Of the Amer

Expeditionary Force to the French
will be smuggled across the German
border, constituting an undesirable in
vision Of the German automobile IN
dustry 1t is said here than $4,000
American cars were sold to the

Germany is reported to be very short

have stored up quantities OF tires In
The occupied territory which can be
sent over into unoccupied Germany
and sold on the mraket at prices
which the German manufacturer can
not meet.
There is no question in the minds of
the Germans that there is an adequate
supply Of rubber in the world and the
financial papers say that rubber pro-
6uction was more than doubled from
1913 to 1918. They say that lack Of
transportation prevented some OF the
rubber crop from being transported
from South America to the industrial
centers where it is manufacturer into

soon will be overcome.
