TELL YOUR FORTUNE
 BY YOUR MOLES.

Most every one has noles, more or less, so it might be amusing to know what they are supposed to "mean." the right side of the body, for they indicate good fortune. There are two kinds of moles, yellowish or brownish.
 A yellowish mole on the right side of the brow of a man means good fortune will come to him through the soil-farming, building or mining. If ii is brown, luck will be the result of his own pluck and talent. For a woman, such a mole, either yellow or brown, on the right temple, means a long and happy life.
 A yellow mole on the left side of the forehead of a man means mis- fortune and trouble; a brown one foretel1s petty woes and worries. For a woman, the yellow one means ad- venture and travel; if brown, two marriages.
 A yellow mole on a. mans Night brown, he'll be a leader of men, For a woman. a yellow means powerful friends; brown, she'll be ruled by her husband. Mems mo1es on the left cheek, whether yellow or brown, foretell a wandering life, but for a woman, misfortunes in love.
 In conclusion, wherever and what ever your moles may mean, don't meddle with them. It is dangerous. Only expert dermatologists should try to remove them, if for any reason it should become necessary.

WOMAN PLANNED
 GERMAN REVOLT

It is reported that the bandits who held up SangerYeausen, near Halle, combined politics with plunder by de- stroying the list of voters, and that the Communists intended to carry out similar tactics in other towns in cen tral Germany, beginning with Eisle- ben. There, however, the Independ- ent Socialists had posted guards over the banks and public buildings.
 The "Ha1lesche Volksblatt'' tells an extraordinary story of the origin of this plot. A woman who goes about in masculine attire is said to be the mov- ing spirit. Setting in Naumburg, she tried to induce the Communists to form battalions, and it is asserted that she is really an agent provocateur of the Anti-Bolshevik League, whose ob- ject is to break up the extremists of the left and incite them to rising which would lead to military meas ures.
 A sensational sequel is reported in the newspapers, which state that the woman in question, Frau Schroeder Mahnke has just attempted suicide by taking arsenic. Among her papers were found interesting documents concerning the Brest-Litovsk treaty, which are said to leave no doubt that she has been for years in the service of the army.
 Stories of coming militarist putsches in the agrarian districts are coun- tered by the "Deutsche Tageszeitung' with information on the best author ity that in these very regions risings are being planned by the Commdnists of the land workers union, who are arming the .proletariat at the very time the bourgeois is being disarmed.
 The paper goes so far as to say that the majority Socialists are not troub- ling about the elections in certain dis tricts, because they do not expect them to take place there, and that it looks as if the government's view was that decisive events will occur before the poll. These are fair samples of the type of election literature of which the press is full.-London Tele- graph

SHOULD ONE MARRY
 ONES FIRST LOVE?

Just because some have married their first love and found out after 1t was too late that it was a mistake, does not mean that the principle of the thing is all wrong.
 Here is an example that may help to solve the problem. girl whose mother did not believe in first loves" really regarded them more as an experiment than serious affairs-was entirely hostile to her 20-year-old daughters marriage with her first love. She did all in her power to prevent 1t, but the girl was one of those quiet, leve1-headed girls de- termined to have her own way-and she had it. They've been married for years now and are just as happy as can be.
 The reason some first-love match es are not happy is because the first love Is usually made up of blind. fervid, uncritical admiration. and not the real love. Young people are prone to rush into marriage without looking around and summing up things before taking this serious step. They sell dom look ahead and picture the lover as a husband or the girl as a wife. That's why first loves have the repu- tation of invariably leading to un- happiness.
 Moral: Don't marry your first love in haste. Look aro0nd you for awhile. Don't cut yourself off from your companions of the opposite sex just because you think you're in love with some one else. When once the first love Is assured, 1t is life pos session. The difficulty lies in distin- gushing between the real love and the passing attraction of immature puppy love-"

OPERATE
 THRIFT SHOP IN
 COUNTRY TOWN

In a small out-of-the-way place in the state of New York eleven women have demonstrated that something can happen when somebody decides it shall happen. One of the women had thought. it out that each day provisions must be obtained for the family, not only her family but for her neighbors. too; that on busy days 1t would be very convenient if there was some place near where she could send and get a pie, a, loaf of bread or a dozen cookies.
 A little one-room house built by village doctor for his office, but va cant since his death, with shelves and everything ready, was just the place for a thrift shop.
 She talked her plans over with her neighbors. They were enthusiastic over the project, each of the eleven agreeing to do her part and take her turn in tending store, keeping ac- counts, etc.-having a cooperative organization.
 They started with a few baked goods on their shelves, and this sign outside-"Country Food at Country Prices" The sign caught the eye of some people motoring. They went in and bought out the establishment Their trade increased and business grew rapidly. Pickles, preserves, green vegetables, eggs, homemade rugs, and even repaired secondhand clothing were added to their list. They brought in quarters of beef, and sold them out in good pot roasts. Women who had never earned a dol lar now had plenty of coins. The shop was in a country village of about 200 inhabitants. A regular string town on the pike. The whole town became enthused every child wanted to help. The reputation of the good things to be found at this shop spread far and near. It was a financial success from the beginning.
 The first. few months they cleared three hundred dollars, and the amount of cash receipts is increasing every day. The same opportunity is open to the women on any we'll trav- eled thoroughfare.-Thrif Magazine.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

If new stockings are washed before they are worn, they will last much longer. This is particularly true of silk ones.
 To prevent a disagreeab1e odor when cooking vegetables that are be- ing boiled, place a~~crust of bread in the saucepan with them.
 When ironing lace, place a. piece of blanket Or thick flannel under it and iron on the wrong. side; this will bring out the pattern nicely.
 When frying bacon that is rather salt, pour little cold water over it and allow it to stand for a few min utes. Then pour off the water and dry before cooking it.
 Onions when cut quickly take up any impurities that may be in the air. They act as disinfectants in this way, but may make the food unfit to eat.
 Never use soda water to wash gilt edge china. as the soda injures the gilt.
 Salted water softens lettuce and salads, but a little borax in the water makes the green stuff nice and crisp.

ROSE LACONIBE.

France has produced many femin- inc heroines and among them is R ose Lacombe. She was born about 1768 and took up the stage as a profes- sion. She was noted for her beau ty. When the French Revolution broke out she joined the citizens. She was one of the leaders of the crowd of frenzied women who at tackled the Hote1-de-Ville, and oblig- ed the king and his family to re- turn from Versailles to Paris. At Tulleries she joined in the attack at the head of a club of women which she had founded. For her bravery in this attack the city of Marseilles decreed to her a civic crown. For some time she was the recognized leader and orator of the republican women. A love affair with young 'nobleman who was imprisoned, how ever, cost her most of her influence and she retired. The, latter part of her life was passed in a small shop, where she gained a living by the sale of petty articles. The time or manner of her death is unknown.

AMERICAN GOWNS FAIL TO MAKE
 HIT IN SAMOA

Although American made dresses are finding a welcome in many parts
 of the world, every once in a while the Export Bureau of the Associated Industries of America receives a dis
 couraging note from American con-
 suls, and a letter received yesterday from Mason Mitchell, the American
 consul at Samoa, expresses no hope
 for the sale of women's garments in
 that particular territory.
 ''The native male Samoan" writes
 Mitchell, wears a strip of cotton
 cloth extending from the waist to the
 knee, while the women of the is-
 lands wear the same style over what
 might be called a Mother Hubbard in reality a chennise reaching to the
 ank1e.''
 From Alden, Arabia, Addison South
 ard, the American consul, whites that
 the demand for ready made dresses is
 negligible. He says that less than one
 per cent. of the total population of
 the~.district is European, because the
 population is made up chiefly of
 Arabs, Abyssinians, Soma1is, Danka lis
 and other natives living in compar-
 atively primitive manner, and who
 have no use for the ready made dress. |$ ''The comparatively small amount of clothing required in this very h ot climate" writes Southard to the As
 sociated Dress Industries of America,
 'is made up mainly from cotton piece goods according to simple na- tive styles. In many tribes a suit of clothes for either man Or woman con sists of two pieces of cloth never touched by needle Or thread. One piece is wrapped about the hips as a skirt and the other worn over the shoulders as a shawl.
 "Even among the wealthier natives, who have adopted European styles to some extent, very little ready made clothing is used by women and chill dren, as the native taste demands some modification of the European style, which makes it cheaper to have the entire garment constructed by na- tive tailors The few European exiles 1 living in this dreary and desert ter ritory usually depend upon Bombay or European shops for their ready to wear clothing"
 Mr., Southard also points, out that, | so far as Alden is concerned, there are no department stores or specially shops located there.
 From San Pedro de Hacoris the American consul writes that practical 1y all dresses sold in that district l are imported from America, and that 1 the greater existing demand is for 1 a well made, medium priced garment Cheaper articles may consist of a | wider range of colors for negro pop | ulation. He says that the market for | ready made dresses manufacturer in America would improve to a very | large extent if the merchants in his l territory carried a more complete stock. -s
 1 Advice is given to the National l Chamber fof Comerce of the dress in 1 dustry that the market should be | thoroughly covered by investigator | with a knowledge Of language and l customs before any great sales plan 1 Is launched.
