FURs WIN HEARTS OF WOMEN
Joy Can Go No Further in Feminine
Eyes Than to Be Wrapped
in Peltry.

Many a woman who COvets nothing
else in the way of worldly possessions
looks with longing eyes upon luXuri-
Gus furs. She may cherish a Spartan
disregard for other expensive luxuries,
but fur coat makes an almost ire
sistible appeal to her.
She is aware of all its drawbacks.
She knows that a good fur coat is
costly, not only as to the original pur-
chase price but as to the repairs
which will eventually have to be made,
that 1t will be a burden in the mild
weather into which our changeable
climate so frequently lapses even in
the midst of winter, that a long fur
coat is always heavy weight to carry
on ones shoulders, but it is, never
theless consumedly the desire of her
eyes.
Joy can go no further in her esti-
nation than to be wrapped in furs
when the wind blows cold and buster
ing and to feel that she not only is
warm but looks warm.
The woman bent on fur coat in
these times also tells herself that with
the prevailing high prices of wooden
coats fur garment will cost but lit
tie more, at any rate not more than
twice as much and will look we'll twice
as long.
Furs Of all grades have grown in
expense during the last year and per-
haps that is why one sees so little use
made this season of the mysterious
cheap pelts whose ancestry was
scarcely whispered about, much less
acknowledged.

SLEEVED OR SLEEVELESS ARM
Question That 5others Many Girls and
Women-How to Keep the
Arms Beautiful.

Sleeveless arms must be pretty, or
they must be "sleeved." Now it is not
really hard to have nice arms, and it
is beauty that lasts until years are
many. Take trouble and you can do
much with very ordinary arms.
If your arms are too thin, why not
try housemaiding work? 1t will help
greatly to make them firm and fatter.
Every day a loofah or fesh-brush
must be used to rub the arms well :;
the elbows especially need attention.
Never sit with the elbows on the
table. or they are sure to be bony and
rough and red. Foreign girls are strict
ly forbidden to misuse their elbows so
when children. A slice of lemon
ought to be rubbed in daily. 1t will
give firm, satiny texture to the skin,
and will bleach it considerably.
Don't coat your arms with powder
at a dance if sleeveless, as your part
ner will detest his coat bearing evil
dence of the fact. Rather take care
all the time of the skin. and keep it in
good form.
If your arms are merely passably
nice, don't draw attention to them by
velvet bands or bracelets.
II, in spite of all your efforts, they
remain thin and of an ugly color, then
wear sleeves, and, if not sleeves, the
very long gloves. But at present the

AIRPLANE TO DEVELOP CHINA
American Commercial Attache Pointa
Out How Problem Facing That
Country May Be Met.

The keynote of the great problem
OF development which is facing China
Is transportation. The American COM
mercial attache at Picking, Mr.. Julian
Arnold, has laid emphasis on this In an
article in the Chinese Recorder
"China's Economic Problems and
Christian Missionary Effert." Mr..
Arnold deals with the necessity Of pre-
pairing the Chinese people for the
great economic change which Is upon
them. Railways will mean much to
China, but the necessity for the train
ing and preparation of which Mr..
Arnold speaks is shown to be dis
tinctly urgent when Prof. Middleton
Smiths views on the use of airplanes
to China are known. China is land
of waterways, and these waterways
afford the necessary existing lines of
transportation along which, to secure
the success Of commercial aviation.
airdromes and supply depots should
be established. Schools of technical
training should supply the necessary
Chinese skilled labor, and with these
aerial services established, Professor
Smith foreseeS such an incalculable

tons as completely to revolutionize
the country internally and add to ita
deep importance as a world factor.

Text of Juqo-sIav Note.

Paris, Jan. 31-The text of the
Jugo-Slav reply to the allied ultima
tum on the Adriatic question shows it
amounts 20 a refusal to accept the
compromise offered by the Italians.
In courteous terms it asks permission
to lay before the powers some sugges-
tons for alterations which it consid-
ers necessary 20 secure stability in the
region surrounding the Adriatic.
LAS regards the proposal ITSELF"
says one paragraph of the note, "the
royal government is obliged to observe
that it cannOt accept it in its entirety.
and the government counts on the
ers party to the communications of
January 20 to permit it to submit to
them notifications imposed by the
necessity of assuring peace in the
Adriatic."
The government, it remarks, consid-
ers the communication of January 20
as a friendly proposition, and not as
an injunction.
LAS regards the essence of these
propositions" the note continues, "the
royal government begs to remark they
are not entirely in agreement either
with the principles proclaimed by the
peace conference Of the free determin-
alton and independence of peoples,
nor with the wishes of the popuIatio
concerned, nor with the geographical
and economic conditions evolved.

plying the territories in question are

"The royal government, which dur
ing the whole OF the world war has
observed constant fidelity to Its al
lies, has hesitated before no sacri-
fee for the success Of the common
cause, and has given proofs since the
cessation Of hostilities of the greatest
possible spirit of moderation, even in
the most delicate circumstances, and
remains disposed to regulate the diff
culties under discussion in the same

United States department OF Justice,
The report shows that in December
SA cents per pound was the price at
which American refiners sold sugar
for export from the United States.
During the same month the price
charged by retail dealers in fifty cities
averaged 1415 cents psR pound, show
ing that after the sugar left the refin-

was compiled by the labor department

cities the retail price was far more
than 141& cents.
Although these prices are for De-

wife, Lady Anne, and french Esther
Araxie Azgapetian, whose baby eyes
opened upon scenes of horror and later
through them saw much of the suffer
ings of the people of Armenia.
The family are making their tour I'M
der auspices of the Near East Relief,
the big organization which has saved
hundreds of thousands of the people
in that part of the world from death
by hunger and cold and is soon to open
a nation wide campaign for funds to
complete the work of saving the sur
vivors, more than half million of
whom must perish unless aid comes to
them soon. America Is their only hope.
General Azgapetian served CALAMITY
in the Russian armies In the Caucasus
against the Turks. His wife, who ac-
companied him to the front, did noble
work for the wounded and sick, and
1t was while In this service that her
baby was born In a hospital tent during
battle. An army blanket swung from
two poles in one corner of the tent was
the baby's crib during the rest of that
terrible winter campaign. With the
collapse Of the Russian armies after
the Bolshevist revolution the Azgape-
tians returned to Armenia for a brief
spell and did their best to alleviate
the suffering they found on every hand.
But with a Turkish price on his head
the father finally made his way with
his family through Russia to Finland
and then to this country. What they
tell Of conditions and needs in Armenia
Is first hand evidence.
In the Caucasus, Armenia, Syria,
Turkey and Persia are more than $780,
600 orphans, helpless little victims of
war, massacre and deportation, and
for the great majority the only bar be-
tween them and absolute starvation
Is bowl of hot bean soup every day.
This soup is supplied by the Near East
Relief now making an appeal to
the American people for sufficient
funds to increase this dole and to pro,
vide these suffering little ones with
clothing and give them an education
that will help them to become self sup,
porting. 1t Is estimated that more
than 100000 in Western Asia will
dio Of starvation unless American aid
Is continued.

able last summer. Sulphur yellow is

three fashionable grays-oyster gray,
mouse gray and pearl gray-according
to whether you can wear pale gray,
or deeper gray best. Geranium pink,

red, and both are charming shades for
evening wear.
