UP TO pEOPLE-NOT PALMER.

The department of Justice has
done very little in the way of pros
ecution of profitcers, but has. since
Attorney General Palmer became
a candidate for president, sent out
many rosy assurances that the cost
of living is falling.
The latest declaration is that a
survey has been made of the hide,
leather and shoe market and a
discovery made that shoe factories
are going to be losers because
pedple will not continue to buy
fancy products. OF course when
the easy money period ends and
economy becomes necessary spend
erss will slow up in extrayagance
and be just as we'll clothed as now.
Those who wish to cause return
to normal prices can begin in no
better way than to learn the quality
Of goods. from honest dealers, then
discard articles extortionately high
prifed. The merchants in local
stofes are not generally responsible
for high figures. and when the pub
lie discriminate, dealers will de-
cline to stock UP with goods whose
makers go the limit in selling fig
pres and the responsible factors

SIMPLE SPELLING.

The simplified spoilers have been
trying for many years to spell the
English language more according
to its sound. But the public does
not take easily to changes in tho
spelling book. 1t was suggestive
Of popular feeling when a few days
ago the Modern Language Associa-
ton of America decided to drop
the new spelling.
Many of these so-called simplifi-
cations don't help much, You DO
not make it easier merely by spell
ing "throuGh," thru" If greater
consistency could be introduced 1t
would help. As long as there are
so many different ways of pro-
nouncing such a terminal as
"ough," as in Cough" Dough"
and Through it is hard for the
foreigner to learn English, or the
child to learn to spell.

LAND GRANTS TO SOLDIERS.

As an alternative to money pay
ments the American Legion is ask
ing congress to remedy the defi-
cioncies in the compensation of
soldiers and sailors by granting
public lands to the service men
who may prefer real estate to cash.
Not much attention is being given
to this proposal, probably because
of The belief that little land now
worth having is available.
There are on foot, however, rec
lamation projects which promise to
add to the nations resources hum
dre6s of thousands Of acres Of fer
tile land. The soldier or sailor
who wins a. farm under such prof.
ects will get a prize far more valu-
able than the largest money
bonus" proposed in any of the
numerous bills on the subject,
Moreover, tho land grants will not
be burdensome to the taxpayers.
If congress adopts tho American
Legion plan far-sighted service
men will weigh the alternative
forms of compensation before filing
claims for the money payment,
Besides cash and land grants the
legion program calls for vocation
al training and government aid in
building a home. the service man
TO have his choice Of one Of the
four.
One reclamation project calls for
the construction of canal, az a
cost of from $30,0Q0,00O to s40,-
100000 by which water from the
. Colorado river would be used 10
.irriGate vast stretches of desert
in Southern California. This bar
rem land lies in the Imperial valley,
large part of which has already
been transformed by irrigation into
a garden spot. With a chance to
get farm worth from $500 to
5000 an acre, shrewd soldiers for
whom farming has an appeal will
t,.rn up their noses at a cash
bonus.
There will also be similar recla-
nation land farms in New Mexico
for soldiers if the government will
go on either with projects in this
state or cede the public domain
to the state.

DIGNIFTED ADVERTISING.

With this issue the Journal per-
manently discontines all advertis-
ing concerning matrimony clair
voyance, palmistry and kindred
things. We have reached the con-
clusion that such advertising IS
undignified and harmful.
AS matter of course a news
paper must carry advertising Or
suspend publication. But we have
decided that we do worthy adver-
tisers an injustice when we put
an honest, dignified advertisement
upon the same page with this silly
stuff.
1t is impossible for us to pass
upon the merits of proposition, or
the value of a purchase, advertised
in our columns. However, fraudu-
lent concerns can, generally speak
ing, be kept out of our pages. We
will do our best to accomplish this.
All of which leads us to add the
statement thar We are getting out
"a new advertising rate card. The
commodity we have for sale is
newspaper space, and we will be
as strictly a one-price house as the
most reputable merchant in our
city. We would be glad to sell you
our goods. We believe it to be
profitable for you to buy our space,
But we will make no concessions
from our published rates to get
the business. We intend from
month to month to strengthen the
confidence of the public in the
Journal. This confidence will in
creasingly reflect itself in the
pulling" power of our advertising
space which is now the strongest
in.tNew Mexico.
You can safely send your child
to deal with any reputable mer-
chant in New Mexico. You would
get no better price had you gone
yourself. You can safely send a
child to make advertising contracts
with the Journal All will be
treated exactly alike.
We know you will applaud such
a policy.

BEAR TRACKS.
Chapter Three.

Tom leveled his rifle and fired
but he did not hurt the bear.
So being sort of sissy he ran
and got into the wagon for pro-
lection.
The eagle that was with Tom
saw the bear and flew at it with :
all it's might, And Tom thought
sure that the bear would kill it.
But it flew right at the Bears
head and pecked out one Of its
eyes SO quickly that the bear did
not know what had happened
unil it had gotten out of the
way, Again the eagle repeated
his clever way of fighting and the
bear was furios.
The Bear tried to get into the
wagon but being blind just
tumbled about but could not
get in. III

again this time Wounding the bear
Again he shot this time he was

Editor Albuquerque incoming jour
nal, Albuquerque, n "
Dear Sir: An editorial in the
Friday, April ninth, issue of your
paper, in which a statement IS
made to the effect that boy,
known to have committed Grim
inal offenses' has been made an
exception and not sent to the state
reform school, where he would
have 10 associate with hardened
criminals and worse boys, has come
to my notice and ] can not help
replying to same, not at all in criti-
cism of your editorial, but merely
to state a few facts.
Although | have been in New
Mexico over siXs years and had
known there was such a P'Ree as
this reform school, I had ~ idea
whatever of the conditions here
nor of the kind of boys who were
sent here. Since my husbands APP
pointment as superintendent of the
institution in August, 1919. | have
come to know very we'll the boys
who have been made inmates OF
the school and l have also learned
a great deal of their lives before
coming here. | am making no
broad statement whatever when |
saw we have no hardened criminals
here, nor have we any really bad
boys, that is bad at heart-and
none at all who can not be reached
If one would only take the trouhle
and time. In a great many cases
the boy has not known right from
wrong due to no discipline or teach
ing at all by the parents. In fact
I've come to the conclusion the rea-
son the majority of the boys are
here is the fault of the parents
rather than the boy.
wish the people of this state
would take a little trouble 10 find
CIT more about their reform school
We have found in our short time
here that net even the people liV-
ing in the town quarter of q nile
aNay take he trouble or seem to
have enough interest to find out
BOW the school is run or what IS
heing done for the boys. We lave
also learned, much to our aston
ishment, that even the judges who
sentence ho boys to this place dc
rot know what kind Of place it IS

| mai from the lack of sane,
There are fifty-five boys in this
institution at present and as
happen to know them all pretty
well from close association as mat
ron and teacher, l can truthfullS
and honestly say it would not take
a very long time to pick out fifty,
five far worse boys enjoying the
liberties and comforts of home life

will have to change practices to
sell goods.
1t was long the rule in America
that the most costly commodities
were those of best quality. And
Americans more and more have
come to demand the best. This has
led to the practice of imposture by
profiteers who place unreasonabiy
high prices on wares and thus
lead trusting customers to believe
that the goods are Of exceptionally
fine quality. The people were slow
to see through the deception.
Notwithstanding complaints Of
high prices of shoes. manufactur-
.ers were confident that demand
for high-priccd footwear would
continue unabated and imported
during the last twelvemonth n
greatly increased quantity Of fancy
shoe leather. But the people do
not need to pay the prices asked.
If consumers can thus force shoe
prices down. so other unreasonably
priced commodities can be affect
ed. The remedy lies in the hands
of consumers.

dead.
Tom jumped out of the wogan
and looked at the huge bear. 1t
was as big as n COW.
{ After Tom had made sure that
the bear was dead he went and
got his frightened horses. And
with the use of his cowboy rope
he pulled the bear up in the wagon.
The next morning was bright
and warm. So he got his break
fast and got ready TO go on and
look for the stray cattle.
Al eight o'clock Tom started
off he had not gone far when he
saw ahead of him drinking in the
stream a few cattle.
He rode up and with a glance
he saw that they were the ones
that he had come for.
He shot his pistol and the
cattle turned and started off
toward the farm. They Travelled
all day and just as the sun went
down they came in sight of the
farm.

sickness and real caprice that she
wound herself around the heart
of the Stuart King, and managed
to hold her position as lady of the
bedchamber to the queen when she
was openly ensnaring the tickle
King with her babyish charms ana
kittenish fascination.
What are the qualifications OF
the baby face?
Well, first perhaps you look at
the mouth, which must be small
and round and rosy, the lips pout-
ing, giving the face a look of cfilu-
like wilfulness and gentleness the
eyes are round and seem large IN
comparison to the other features,
while the lashes are long and up
turned as in childhood. The nose,
of course, is small, preferably quite
short. There is no need for classic
regularity or Grecian moulding Ill
the baby-face nose. The eyes, are
far apart and the brow is without
wrinkles.
The actual shape of the face and
contour of the forehead do mrch
to create the baby face. In hahy-
hood and childhood, though the
forehead is usually high, the bulge
comes in the upper part of the
forehead and there is never any
of that heaviness directly over tine
eyebrows that indicates executive
force and organization. Possibly
this is because the child, no matter
how active his little brain may pc.
has no such abilities. He is stu
lacking in his impressions of the
world, thinking things ont in his
baby brain, and this process ap-
parently goes on in the upper re-
gions of his forehead. ..,..
The man or woman who retains
this baby mould of forehead may
be of high mentality, but YOU VIII
notice that he or she achieve rath-
or through reflection and nitro
spection than through executive
or organizing powers.

faced woman wins the admiration
