Paint and Powder An,In

Dear Cynthia-In the matter of this
paint and powder war that is waging
more or less constantly in your column
don't you think it's such a hopeless
battle that it's waste of space to
carry it further? Robert Herrick
wrote:
No fault in women to lay on
The tincture of vermlion,
And there to give the cheeks a dye
Of white where nature doth deny.
And Herrick died in 1914 If the
scrap hasn't been settled yet there g
little hone that it ever will be. If we
cant bury the powder puff and the
rouge pot let's at least bury the hatchet
on the subject. SNAKE.
Aren't you helping bit to keep the
discussion going? 1t would be we'll
to drop it. 1t leads to nothing, but
while correspondents keep on writing
the letters will be printed.

"HIT THE GRADE!"

By EDMUND VANCE COOKE.
The automobile burbles on the level
city pave;
Its spark plugs fire in order and its
cylinders behave:
Its clutch bites in, its shaft rotates.
its gears compel the wheels,
And hip, Murray! it's on the way, and
shows its rubber heels,
Yet no ones ever satisfied with auy
motor made
Until he points the car uphill and
makes it hit the grade"
Now, life runs on the level, for the
most part. so we smile
As we loaf along ION high" or maybe
idle" for a while,
But when we hit the rut and rock.
the clay-pit on the hill,
We buckle down and harden all the
muscles of our will;
For man is like A motor and his
merit is displayed
When he has to show what's in him
by the way he hits the grade. -
Well, boys and girls. we hit one
grade a little while ago;
Some of US made the grade on high !;
some slipped back into low:
And since that time we've had an
easy road all summer long,
But now another hills ahead: we've
got to go it strong!
So here's our chance to show the
stuff of which are minds are made !;
The easy days are done. and now
we've got to hit the grade!

ADVERTISING DEVELOPMENT

Tho amazing development, during
the emergency OF war. Of the value
of advertising for every patriotic pur-
pose made a profound impression on
the business man of the United States
As result an extraordinary impetus to
advertising has been felt since the
close of the war. much OF this in di-
rections in which the value of public
ity had not been appreciated.
In a thoughtful article on "Adver-
ttsing's Opportunity" by Roy Dickin-
son. in the current issue OF Printers
Ink. we are told that To-day adver-
tising is in the presence of an even
greater opportunity to serve" He be
lieves that publicity in the leading
advertising mediums Of the country
will aid in working out a fair and
equitable understanding between cap
ital and labor. He says that while all
sorts of agencies, from banks to
churches. have been told that they
alone can step in and save the coun-
try in its need. the trouble is that no
attempt is made to tic up with funda-
mentals, and that the line of action
suggested for cooperation Is most in
definite From Deslie's.

Such Is Life
As 1t Is Seen
By 0. B. JOYFUL

This makes a rather lengthy story
as 1t comes from Paris by cable. prov
ing that the war is over and anything
can get on the cable.
The weather. fashionahles of Paris
contracted the Sare-legged habit early
in the summer. thereby striking con-
sternation in the ranks OF silk hose
manufacturers. Also they the ladies'
not the mInutacturers) acquired rich
cots OF brownish tan where once
stockings used to be.
And this fall the fashionables re-
turned from summer vacations with
nut-brown underpiuninEs. The first of
the elite returning to Paris displayed
"cll-hroWned legs through stockings
as sheer as the atmosphere OF a sum-
mer day.
Naturally enough this excited a
tinge Of envy. Those unfortunates
who had to stay home all summer
and wear stockings didn't have the
tan Not the real tan. But they
Csmoufaged. if We believe the cable.
They sought surce2se from sorrow in
walnut stain.
Oh. no: the ladies didn't drink wal
nut stain They applied it on their
lower limbs.
And now even through the sheerest
of stockings you can't tell the diff
ference between a walnut-stained limp
and a sun-tanned lower extremity.
And everybody's happy.
