Take These Few Don'ts

Enjoy a Hearty Laugh

Are you picture fan? II you
are not you must be a peculiar sort
Of person. If you are you will en-
Joy these don'ts. They are not in
tended for you, but for the other
fellow:
Don't hurry about buying your
tickets. The girl behind you in the
line is probably department store
clerk and, as she doesn't have to
get up till O'clock in the mornings,
she should worry about how soon
she gets home.
Don't take the seat the usher
shows you to. She knows you don't
want that seat, but she takes you
to it just to be mean and ugly.
Don't rise TO permit anybody else
to pass. les n Joy to walk over
people. Make 1t as hard for the
other fellow as possible.
Don't thank the lady and gentle
man who arise that you may pass
more easily-they might think you
appreciated the courtesy.
Don't fail TO assist the orchestra.
Your neighbors will enjoy your
vocal accompaniment. Also, II you
kept quiet they might know you
were a nut.
Don't forget to read the sub
titles loudly enough to be heard
several rods away. II Ia likely that
the people near you cannot read
and your forethought will be ap-
preciated
Don't fail to carry on a conver-
sation with your companion. The
picture may be rotten" and your
talk will help to cheer UP your
neighbors.
Don't forget to tell the manage
ment just what you think OF tho
picture In case you don't like it,

manager may have weak heart
and a sudden burst Of jcy might kill
him.

SEVENTH OF HER WEIGHT

There is a problem for the mathe-
maticians in connection with one
specimen that occupies a quite promi-
nent place in Viola Dana's latest as
sortment of gowns.
While style creators are proclaim
ing twelve-ounce limit on the
weight OF the ideal outfit for milady,
the piquant Metro star is wearing an
evening gown that reminds one OF
the burden bearing of an armored
knight.
Reduced to the language Of the
scales. star and costume may be
catalogued in this way:
Miss Dana. 9S pounds
Evening gown......... 13 pounds
Pumps and other gar
ments ............. Ia pounds
Total ............. 1927 pounds
The weight of the Dana creation is
the more unusual since II is a sleeve
less, backless. trainless evening
gown-a Jet garment that required
but two yards OF material. The skirt
is OF the economical variety and the
waist is even more so.

An Appeal
To the Republicans of the Country and
All Those Who Aided Them:

All Those Who Aided Them:
The Republican success il the 1920 election has been COM
nlensurate with the quality OF our candidates and the
righteousness of our cause.
This success is the partnership accomplishment Of all Re-
publicans everywhere and OF hundreds OF thousands OF
well-wishers of good government regardless Of past
party affiliations.
responsibility of us all who will share alike In the con-
sequent mutual benefit of good government.
The plan oil limiting campaign contributions to $1,000,
adopted by your national organization, has lett your
party unmortgaged.
politics on the highest plane, and has brought an inter
est on the part of thousands who never before have been
concerned with politics.
Some weeks before election it was apparent that the ex-
penses provided for in our budget, with the strictest
economy, would exceed the contributions, but we were
unwilling either to leave undone any legitimate effort
essential to complete success or to change the method
of raising money. We were then sure and we are now
sure that every Republican desires that the expenses OF
the campaign be distributed in this manner.
Your presidential campaign this year cost no more than that
Of 1916, when a dollar went nearly twice as far as it
does today.
Four years ago the bulk of the campaign fund came from
80 contributors, while this year the approximately
election has come from $1,000 givers.
The victory won, the raising of the deficit would be easy,
policy Of keeping down the average of contribution.
This we are determined not to do. It was a fight Of
a burden from the minds Of millions and points the
way to better and happier days. We ask now for that
additional help from all which is merited both by the
successful conclusion of the effort and by the consequent
contribution to the welfare Of all Of our people and the
Let US now have help from every American who is grateful
for the victory and all that it means to the country. It
might we'll be in the nature of a thanksgiving offering
for the return to a certainly safe, sane, constitutional
progressive government.
Let us by general and generous giving put the seal Of ap-
prevail upon the policy of putting a national administra-
ton in power free from any possible embarrassment OF
special obligation to any man, men or group Of men.
Let us make the contribution, whether large or small,
and whether or not we have heretofore given. com
mensurate with our means and our appreciation, always
within the maximum limit heretofore fixed.
Let us get our names on the cornerstone of . sturdier political
structure, upon the roll of those who have helped make
possible = campaign Of which, in methods and result,
we may as Republicans and patriots be Justly proud.
Most earnestly we urge that this aid be given quickly, that
your committee may be enabled to discharge the partys
obligations and turn to further constructive work in be-
half Of party and country.
