True Americans want this of our coun-
try:
That it be secure place for labor, for
the home, for business, for all our peoples
of today and tomorrow, and that it be
security with honor.
That it give us and our children oppor-
tunity to lead lives even better than here
tofore.
That it be just in its relations with
other nations and merit the pride which
the best of its citizens have in it, in its
history and it's ideals.
A policy which has these purposes will
have the support Of all true Americans.
That is the Republican policy and it has
been Republican policy from the days of
Abraham Lincoln.
The Republican policy is to protect the
security of the United States by preserv-
ing its right to make decisions regarding
its action in the future as events in the
future demand.
The Republican party is unwilling to pledge
now that 1t will protect European boundary
lines and to deprive Congress Of the power to
say in each case what the action Of the United
States will be.
The Republican party believes that to be
dangerous to the living generations and to
those to come because 1t prevents the people,
through the Congressman they elect, from de-
Gliding what they would do and say now and
forever after II there was call to defend
European territory.

To protect home and country

To protect home and country
II Harding and Coolidge are elected no such
pledge will be made. The United States will
enter an association of nations to promote
peace and humanity, but the sons of no Amer
lean hearthside will go to war unless the rep
resentatives elected by the people and respon-
sible to them say that it is necessary.
The making OF war is a solemn and terrible
duty when 1t comes. Some people may be
mistaken. They may be misled by the false
promises OF the Democratic party. They may
think that the League Of Nations will stand
between their sons and rifles. There is
greater probability that it will put rifles in the
hands of their sons.
President Wilson's covenant pledges Ameri-
can boys to every war in Europe, and Cox up
holds that covenant.
The Republican party insists upon protect
ing the security Of the American home and the
future of American children. Every war in
Europe is not necessarily an American war.
Let Congress in each case decide, without
pledge In advance.
Under Republican administration the United
States has been just in It's relations to other
nations and its ideals are the ideals Of peace
and humanity.
A Republican administration freed Cuba.

A Republican administration gave the Filipinos

Modest
Bathing t:
Suits
Blu Edith M. BurfiS

THOSE Of you who can remember the
i days of the blue flannel and alpaca
bathing suits-you may have worn those
unbeautitul but practical models-have
seen many startling changes in both the
modes and manners at beach and pool.
1t would seem as though We could no
longer be surprised at the modes in
bathing costumes. 1t is not unlikely
that we have ceased being shocked by
the scantness of beach attire for this
season, even at Coney Island, where
rules and regulations governing bathing
costumes are anything but lax.
One piece bathing suits are tabooed
quite generally at public beaches and
beach lounging is more or less curtailed.
Modes in bathing attire presented
this season lead one to believe that we
are slowly but surely descending from
the peak of extreme fashions and are
coming TO a more decent and practical
attire for bathing and swimming.
There is q decided trend toward
greater modesty this summer even if,
to considerable degree, impracticabil-
ity still exists, but this consists of
fabrics rather than of lines, and this Is
not objectionable.
For instance, take two of the suits
illustrated today, one entirely Of velvet,
the other Of velvet combined with
taffeta.
You may marvel, you may question,
you may comment on the inappropriate
ness of velvet, but you can hardly with
consistency, from a standpoint OF good
taste or propriety, object to the lines OF
these models.
Both suits are designed on simple
lines and are devoid Of extensive trim
ming or glaring color, combinations |;
and here it seems opportune to note that
the most exclusive modes in bathing
attire are mostly untrimmed save for
rufles and similar applications of self
material. Loud plaids and oyergay
stripes have given place to materials OF
one color, such as navy blue, brown,
green, purple, scarlet and black.
OulIS Ol JcIsCy uhu nhiltch "ooA we
with those already described for popular
acceptance, and in these suits there con-
finue rather striking color combina-
tions, though these more colorful models
have nothing offensive about them. This,
too, is the result of the simplicity of
design adopted and the harmonious and
pleasing combinations of colors em-
ployed.
The suit illustrated is in black, purple
and white, and there are other equally
pleasing combinations aplenty from
which to choose.
Right here let me advance a thought
that apparently does not come to all
women who purchase bathing attire; q
color or color combination that Is be-
coming to your natural complexion and
coloring may not be so pleasing during
the stages Of sunburn or to the COM
plexion you acquire after. the sun and
wind have ceased to shock your skin and
hair. Does your skin getared, bronze
or dark as the season adrances, or do
freckles make you look like q speckled
hen?
Ask yourself these questions. review

have exposed your tender pampered
skin to the elements of sun, wind, air

Hats and caps of rubber continue to

JOY of such hair protection, is that it is
smart and becoming as well as practical.
