Of Course-Why Not?

The women of this country
are among the best dressed of
their sex in the world.
There may be other countries
where more extreme styles are
used and where more spcctacu-
lar appearance is noticeable,
but nowhere is there to be
found more refined elegance
i'm dress than among the Ameri-
can women.
This applies to rich and poor
alike.
In many of the foreign coun-
tries women of the poorer
classes do not preserve the
same neatness of inexpensive
simplicity that we find among
the less fortunate of our own
land.
With a very few exceptions.
the American woman is natur-
ally neat in her dress and per-
sonal appearance. She cannot
be anything else. Sloppiness
is foreign TO her nature.
The cheapest kind Of a dress
is invariably worn with grace
which Is an inherent peculiar
ity of our femlninity.
Possibly our freedom from
the old world caste has some
thing to do with il.
We have no blooded aristo-
cracy, and We ha e no peasan-
try. Every woman has a legit-
innate right to consider herself
rs good as any othsr woman,
though one may be rcveling in
the lap of luxury and the other
suffering the pinch of poverty.
The woman who skimps to
make both ends meet today
may be the wife o. a president
few years hence.
The door of hope stands
open to every American wom-
an, and hope begots pride, and
pride demands neatne ss, clean
illness and purity.
In dress. az i'm al! other de-
sirable traits, the American
woman has few equals and no
superiors.

AMERICANS IN CUBA
DRINK TO EXCESS
Many Tourists Come to Cuba
Because the Island is
Wet.
(By The Associated Press.)

Havana. Nov. 13.-AbOut the only
persons seen on the streets OF Havana
who show symptoms of Over-indulgence
in intoXicants are Americans. This
does not mean, however, that all the
Americans who come here drink to eX-
cess.
Beer and light wines are so much
a part of the Latin life that it has no
Intoxicating effect. They drink mod
erately. But some visitors from the
dry land seem to drink constantly,
once they find a bar.
To Americans, however, the most
disagrecable and sickening picture is
che hobo from home, hopeless,
wretched figure that infests hotel lob
bcs. His panhandling is brazen. They
pick out people speaking their own
tongue, and without shame boldly an
nounce that they want money for
drinks. They long ago discarded the
appeal for help to get the other shirt
from the laundry.
Most of these unfOrtunates did not
follow the flag: they followed the
whiskcy trail, generally as stowaways
or in ship crews they deserted, once
within swimming distance Of the
docks. But for passport regulations,
Havana police authorities say, there
would be no visible means of support.
Cuba happens to be the nearest for
cicn country" to TIE states, and gov
crnmcnt officials here declare that
much of the growing travel is due to
the fact that the, island isn't dry. 1t
is big item of revenue, and has help
ed to put up prices for everything.

What Spraying Did.

In the 1920 summer spraying demon.
stratiOns, conducted by the agricultural
extension department of the Iowa Farm
Bureau Federation, in cooperation with
the county farm bureaus, the following
were obtained:
1t was learned that the average
sprayed tree produced 621 bushels of
apples while the average unsprayed
tree produced 81 bushels. OF the 6.21
bushels on the sprayed tree, 4.1G
bushels were first class fruit, while only
80 bushels of the total production of
the unsprayed were first class fruit.
The experimenting was done on nine
teen farm orchards located in sixteen
counties. The average cost of spraying,
including labor, material and deprcci-
alton in equipment was seventy-four
cents tree. A total of 1852 trees
were sprayed.
Demonstrations we're carried on in
twenty counties Some orchards failed
to set fruit, and in others spray mater
ial afiled to arrive in time for all four
sprays.

Young Marshall B. Moses, 13- year-OId son of John C. Moses of this city, can lay claim to he one of the best7deveIoped youngsters in the United States for his age, and find little contradiction. for the the youth, who is feet 10A inches tall. weighing III pounds, at 13 years of age. is no common speci- men.
 Well, that's exactly how young Moses measures up. Ever since he was n little chap he's been big for his age. and now, barely in his teens, he possesses the size and physique of man.
 Marshall has been in Gulfport, Miss, for n year so, where he was able to enjoy the sea sports. Each morning. so his fond parents state, he takes short swim of n mile or so, "just to get up an ap- petite." His appetite is enormous also, so states his mother.
 Marshall joined the II. A. c. about n month agO, where he has been working out with the boxing class. He Is preparing to enter the Gulf coast Military Academy this fall.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-08-13

where he will undergo n four-year course of instruction in academic and athletic work.
 'He's a freak,s is what his fa- ther answers when questioned upon the matter of his sons size and strength. Young Moses, however, has something different to say in the matter.
 'Pm nothing but a kid,o snid Marshall when interviewed yester- day, "but I love athletics. That's why Pm working out mt the B. A. c. every day.
 'It is my aim to get in shape to enter the military academy at GulfpOrt in September, where 500 or more boys attend each year. There q fellow can get in the box ing game to his hearts content.
 ''With n good physical foundation and right living, I believe in six or seven years I can give n pretty good account of myself. At least, I hope so."
 Marshall Is the son of John c. Moses, for twenty years or more a member of the Age-Herald compos- ing room and editorial staffs.
