Poor Painting Of Faces
Foolish as Drink.

There isn't any closed season on
face paint. ] Wish i sold all that Is
used on the boulevards. I'd never
have to work any more" That's what
we heard from Ada Mac Weeks, star
Of Listen Lester" which opens to-
night at the National Theater.
Face paint is like liquor. Those
who can't handhc II should let II
alone. I would just as soon see 4
man stagger' up the boulevard as to
see a woman trip along with one eye
brow askew, and her cupid bow
mouth, painted too wet, smeared all
over her face. Wouldn't you?
"And what have girls with enough
interest in their looks to pa mt their
faces got against their necks? Th,y
wear V-shaped necks, and all the
trouble and time are spent on the
face proper ~ and the neck Is a dull
shade against the whitewashed zap
pcarance Of the face above it,. .
"The signboards and the painted
women spoil the locks Of the entire
ountry. You zee them everywhere,

,verlook them. They embittcr lite.

CIVIL ECONOMIC WAR
in IRELAND INDICATED

DUBLIN, Aug ). CBy the Associat-
ed Press. )-.Indication OF an outbreak
OF economic war between North and
south Ireland are increasing as a re-
suit of the expulsion Of Catholic work.
men from shipyards and other indus
trial concerns in the north by their
Protestant fellow workmen II Is
thought in some quarters that this will
be the next move TO add to the already
great embarrassments of the country.
Some western towns already are
threatening a boycott against Belfast
goods, 1t IS said, and there Is danger
OF this policy spreading into other
trades, including the banking system,
which hitherto has been one OF the
few bonds between the north and south.
Ulster especially fears this action. as
much OF the capital which supports
northern industries comes from the
south.
The Irish Times points out that such
a boycott Is quite practicable, as south
crn and eastern Ireland are better or
ganized now than at any other time in
their history.
1.-THE boycott" says the newspaper,
would inflame political strife and
would beggar many departments of in
dustry. 1t would prove that the rest
of Ireland can not dispense with Bel
fast any more than Belfast, for all
its trade and dependence, can dis
pense with the rest of Ireland"
