An Associated Press correspondent who has
managed to get long dispatch out of Koyao makes
the at assertion that Soviet Russia plans to first
crush Poland and then use Germany as base for
war on France. 1t is easy Obelieve that is what
they plan to do but the doing Of it is another thing
for the further they extend their operations to the
west the greater their danger at home. and the
danger at HON, is again becoming real However,
the countries in the. west and the people Of this
country, too, ought to pay lot more attention to
the menace of bOlshevism than they have been pay

Federal dry agents have about made up their
minds that the only way in which this country can
have 100 per cent prohibition is for the government
to seize all the liquor in warehouses. Even then
there would be considerable drinking Of various
kinds Of home made connections, and inasmuch as
taking over all the liquor in sight would be an
expensive business it might be well to try the ex-
pertinent Of sending few people to jail for the
forgery Of withdrawal orders the writing Of pre-

How to Blend Dry Rouge on the
Face.

Large pores and moth patches
ruin the loveliest face. Many a
woman who would notice quickly
that her petticoat hung below her
skirt, or her shoes were united, or
her collar was unpinned. thinks she
can get dressed and made up and
none will see the ugly patches and
the coarse pores.
There isn't anything that gives a
complexion so common and uncared
for an appearance as big pores. The
woman who washes her face in hot
water and then powders without
fist filling the pores with cold
cream can expect bad results.
Open pores fill with drt--of
course. That's why they look big.
II you wish to use warm water on
the face (never use very hot water)

Then be sure to dash cold water,

flesh is cooled through. This closes
the pores. -.
Then cream can be used, and if
any pores are open they will be
filled.
This is another reason for using
pure cleans and powders. You
can't afford to fill open pores with
creams that have harmful ingredi-
cntS.
After cream has been rubbed
into the cooled face. powder as free

This is the way not to have big
pores.
II you already have them, and
they fiji up and form blackheads, a
course of treatment is necessary.
Scrub TIE face with soft cameps

OF dirt is out and the soap is rinsed

The Scarecrow

A scarecrow stood in a field one
day
Stuffed with straw,
Stuffed with hay.
He watched the folks on the kings
highway
But never a word said he.
Much he saw, but naught did heed,
Knowing not night,
Knowing not day:
For, having naught did nothing
need,
And never a word said he.
A little gray mouse had made its
nest.
Oh, so wee,
oh. SO gray,
In the sleeve of coat that was poor
Toms best,
But the scarecrow, naught said he.
His hat was the home OF small
jenny wren
Ever so sweet,
Ever so gay;
A squirrel had put by his fear OF
men
And kissed him, but naught heeded d
he.
Ragged old man, l love him well.
Stuffed with straw,
Stuffed with hay.
Many's the tale that he could tell,
But never word says he.

Review England.

in itself, the effort is justified re-
gardless of whether the result is to
be victory or defeat.
The minute women are as homes.
with themselves as men are, they re
going to be twice as happy. There S
no blinking the fact that we want
love, that we crave it, that we need
it. Since that is SO, why not fight
for it,
But Marian stubbornly shakes
her head and says she doesn't think
there's any use making a fool OF
herself, for if man wants i+r he'll
say so. It's the mans place to do
the courting, isn't it?
Now. Pm not bit sure that it is
mans place to do the courting,
But we'll let that stand just now
and consider ourselves fortunate if
we persuade Marian that man may
need a little encouragement or in
struction in order to be trained to
attend to his job-courting,

Eat at the same place and order the

how much better they might do if
they'd bestir themselves and look
about bit. Men are slaves of
routine and they have to be jolted
out of it. SO when they're used to
being single it's not altogether
easy to make them perceive the ad-
vantages of being married But why
it is beneath anyone's dignity to call
some ones attention to state of
affairs altogether more desirable
than the one which engrosses them
Why not show a blindfolded man
what there is for him to see if he
will open his eyes and look about?
Why rot call any mans attention
to the sweetness and understanding
and domesticity that are his for the

man who has won your heart-and
