ATTENTION! SOLDIER BOYS!

The colored ex-service men of the
Twin Cities appear to be lax in look
ing after their interests.
AS an illustration: the National
headquarters of the American Legion
have put before Congress the four
fold compensation bill for ex-service
men, and our local soldier boys have
done nothing to help their cause
along.
This should not be, for they are as
much interested in the aims and as.
pirations of the American Legion a.
exemplified in the compensation nov
advocated by that organization. Of
any other service man.
Get together, boys, and make YOU
voice and influence felt!

Here again you need a greaseless
cream. Pond s Vanishing Cream is espe-
cially effective for this purpose. Before
powdering rub little Ponds Vanishing
Cream into the skin Then apply the
powder. See how smoothly it goes on,
how soft and natural it looks. Skin
specialists say that such powder base
protects and benefits the skin.
You can be at your loveliest, at a
moments notice, no matter how trying
the day has been. Just rub bit Of
Ponds Vanishing Cream into the cheeks,

~ N Fifth Avenue, on Michigan
Boulevard-on all the fashionable
~ streets Of America you see amaz-
ing numbers of beautiful women.
How did they come to be so much
lovelier than other people?
Few Of them were born With extraor-
binary beauty. The secret of their
greater loneliness lies in their understand
ing of few simple rules.
I Thousands Of beautiful women have
learned how to protect their skin against
the cold that dries and chaps, the dust that
flies into the pores and coarsens them;
how to keep free from a wretched glisten
and make the powder stay on; how to
keep the skin clear.
How to protect your skin from
wind and dust
Cold weather whips the moisture out Of
your face, leaves it rough and red. You
can prevent this by making up for this
moisture. For this you need a special
cream that supplies the needed moisture
without leaving trace Of oil on the face.
Pond s Vanishing Cream is made entirely
without oil; the moment you apply it, it
vanishes, never to reappear in an I'M
pleasant shine. This delicate cream has
an ingredient especially designed to soften
the skin and offset the parching, rough
ening effects of cold and wind Before
going out always rub bit of Ponds
Vanishing Cream into the face and hands.
Now the cold cannot dry or chap your
skin, the dust cannot work into the pores.
In this way your skin will be satiny all
the winter through.
How to make the powder stay on
By needing another little secret you can
keep the powder on two or three times
as long Women who understand how
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1920-12-12

to bring out their hidden beauty realize that
powder couldn't be expected to stick to the dry
skin and stay on. The best Of powders needs a
base to hold it and keep it smooth.

Little secrets back of
many WOme]
How you make yourself much prettier
than you dreamed you'd be

under the eyes, around the mouth The
muscles Of your face will be relaxed
your eyes will feel rested. You will be
younger, fresher.
How to keep your skin clear
the pores clean
The secret of keeping your skin looking
clear and vigorous is complete, regular
cleansing of the pores. For this your skin
needs an entirely different cream with
an oil base. Ponds Cold Cream was
designed especially for this purpose. 1t
contains just the amount Of oil to reach
down into the pores where the dust has
become deeply imbedded. This rids the
pores of the dusty particles that clog them.
Before you go to bed, or whenever you
have been out in the dust or wind, rub
Ponds Cold Cream into the pores of the
skin. Then wipe it off with soft cloth
when you see the dirt that comes out
you will realize how much cleaner your
skin has become.
You can get jar or tube Of these two
creams at any drug or department store.
Every normal skin needs both creams.
You will know, then, how lovely your
skin really can be-

Trucks On Eastern

Figures secured by the United States
Department of Agriculture in con-

use of motor trucks by farmers in
dictate that the rate at which eastern
farmers have been adding motor
trucks to their farm equipment has
increased rapidly during the last three
years Reports gathered by the office
OF Farm Management from approx
mately thousand farmer truck own

York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Del

over 80 per cent had owned their

Insisting On A
Novelty In Italy

There goes a story that in the pre-
nuptial contract of a forward-looking
Yankee girl who is soon to marry an
Italian nobleman is a specification
that his home is to be equipped with
bathrooms. AS American dollars are
likely to pay for the plumbing, there
can be no ground for criticizing the
requirements made Indeed, as most
pre-nuptial contracts with foreigners
are drawn to guarantee the foreign
er's comfort, rather than that Of the
bride, the public is likely to wish
the physical welfare of the bride.
For some reason Europe has been
a laggard in facilities for personal
cleanliness. Bath tubs have been re-
garded as an affectation rather than
necessity. Any returned service
man can give noisome details of the
family life In France, and the aversion
Of people in rural districts to soap
and water. A distinguished French
man once thanked God he had never
insulted his skin by putting cold water
on 1t. Thousands of his fellow coun-
trymen have a similar hostility to
hot water mixed with soap. Perhaps
1t Is as bad in Italy. Our fair country
woman who is to marry the noble
man may have travelled in his coun-
tty-may even have spent a week end
on his estate. We fancy she knows
what she is about, even while We re.
greet that she does not see America
first as her finest opportunity to win
he ppiness in wedlock

Innefficiency In
Producing Power

Some day we shall learn not to
furnish unnecessary work just be-
cause certain interests like the pay
for doing it. If coal were properly
get into railroad car. How much
of the energy of coal is applied to the
task it is to accomplish directly? By
far the greater part is converted in
electricity as more convenient
method of distributing it. Can, there
fore, anything be more nonsensical
than to load the coal on cars at the
mouth of the mine, trundle it several
hundred miles across the country, sub
ject to much expense. delay and loss,
then unload it and make it into cleo
tricity?
About the only excuse for doing this
most awkward and inefficient thing
must be that the railroads, which
dominate all transportation in this
country, like the money they receive
for hauling coal. Any yet by their
own confession they have never an
adequate supply of cars. Coal is held
up at the mines because the railroads
cannot furnish cars. Coal cutters up
the railroads so that perishable stuff
s delayed and wasted to the amcuh,
Of millions of dollars. Coal is lost
and stolen and wasted all the way
from the mines to the cities where ii
is anxiously awaited, and meanwhile
every industry in the country suffers
And yet all this is unnecessary
They are bringing electric current
from the West Virginia coal fields to
Ohio. 1t now reaches Akron and will
socn be in Cleveland. If through all
these years, the coal mines had been
freen from railroad ownership, all the
power used in this country would be
slipping like CREASED lightning from
the mines to the cities and the smoke
and CRIME and stencil of burning soft
&C al would be confined to small areas
afar from the centers of population.
Sometime we will learn how to throw
of the hands that keep the people
from enjoying the benefits of the
achievements of science.

Chicago SharpenS
Its Shears

Typical Chicago thrift in the man
aeement of national political CON
Tention again forces itself on the at
tention of the country.
In exchange for its guarantee fund
of $150,000, 2763 season tickets to the
coming Republican nominating body
will be turned over to Chicago to be
sold. This figures out at the rate of
about $54 per season ticket The
of the price depends
on the number of sessions the con
vention holds. With five sessions at
SO each, Chicago would be able to
get all its money back. But may not
more than five sessions be held. With
p1ofiteering In everything else, is
there any hope that there will be no
profiteering in convention tickets,
especially on the part of Chicago? A
chance to make handsome thing on
the guarantee funds can be seen, with
all the other benefits Of the convention
accruing as clear velvet.
The worst Of the spectacle is its
sordid phase. but the opportunity to
pack the galleries with the advocates
CT candidate favored by Chicago
should not be lost sight of. Probably
e. similar spectacle would not be pos
sible in any other city. And, thor.
oughly sophisticated and cynical as
Chicago is in the matter Of political
conventions, and as skilled in sys
tematizing profits from their priv
ileges, it should never again be per.
mitted there.
If convention seats are sold they
should be sold by the national cora
r1ittee. The privilege of taxing spec
tators should not be farmed out tc
any community. With the charge fol

even Chicago demand more?
