And yet Bebe Daniels, the beautiful
Rcalart star, declares thig profuslon

cd appearance which has brought her
fame and fortune ON the screen.
IL consider shoes and stockings
the most important feature OF a
woman's attire" says Miss Daniels.
Mine women out OF ten fail 10 max
the best of their looks because they
neglect 20 give proper care 10 the
little things OF the wardrobe,
II have seen scores Of women with
expensive and beautiful gowns who
looked like frumps because their
shoes were run down at the heels or
lacked shine. And. on the con-
trary, one often sees women who are
very chic in a simple little dress just
because they take utmost pains in
selecting suitable hose and shoes,
whose perfect cuts gives opportunity
TO the beauty OF the foot.
"For my work on the screen | al
ways have two pairs OF shoes and
stockings for each gown. To gain
the fun effect OF a beautiful dress
one must practice variety OF this sort
or course, to many people the eN-
pense would be prohibitive, but IL is
absolutely necessary to US Of the

places in the favor of the public.
Lack OF money, however, need not
be bar TO woman's desire for a
charming appearance. Good things
are always more economical In the
long run than articles cheap In their
first cost. With proper care one good
dress and its accessories will retain
their beauty long after whole as

Miss Daniels opens weeks en-

from the musical comedy hit of
feyeral seasons ago. In this picture
she is assisted by such Aim tavorites

SEEK STUDENTS
FORFARM WORK
Secretary Of Agriculture
Appeals to George Wash
ington University Men.

Secretary Of Agriculture Meredith
has appealed to George Washington
University students 10 offer their
services as farm hands this sum-
mer to help forestall the threatened
serious shortage Of food supplies.
In a .letteR to William Miller Col
lier. presidsn4 of the university, he
explains that unless students prof
fer their services, farmers will be
forced to curtail paintings.
Our country faces a possible cur
tailment of food production due to
q shortage of farm labor--a shortage
that promises to increase as the
summer advances" says Secretary
Meredith. May urge that you
bring this situation to the atten-
tion OF the students with the sug-
gestion that, II possible. they spend
their summer vacations helping on
the farms. A considerable number
of college men already make this q
practice.
This year there Is a special need
for such help on the farms because
of the Importance of maintaining a
normal production. Reports received
by the department. show that the
present supply of hired farm labor
is Is per cent less than last year
and approximately ~ per cent of
the normal supply-which was al
most exactly the situation in 1918.
In consequence, the food supply
may be measurably reduced unless
assistance is given: If within the
next week students will declare
their readiness to aid during the
coming summer. farmers will be
more likely to make normal plant
ings."

Feeling Bad---

"What'ssthe NATTER" "Oh, I don't

nuisances, and it is false notion to
think that you are sick every time you
feel bad For health is a queer crea-
ture; IT seldom remains in a perfect

choose. it always acts according to its
own laws. These feeling-bad conditions
are often due to changes of the season
