But wait a moment. Where, oh,
where is your lip stick?
You mustn't take a chance, you
know. Even though you used your
before the dressing table, the stuff
has an abominable way of coming off
as you talk. Meanwhile, your best
beloved is also busily engaged with
his own lipstick!
Now with the virtual abolition of
whiskers. there's no reason why men
shouldn't. I'd recommend a faint
rose. They'd hardly care for the
deep scarlet effect.
and what's the difference?" she
asks. Don't the girls claim the
right to smoke cigarettes If they
boys have their lip sticks"
"Of course" the F. M. D., goes on,
there are other ways of safeguard
ing the kiss. For instance, a few
drops of denatured alcohol, rubbed
over the lips just beforehand will
might be misleading"
"Then the kiss that follows the
highball would be perfectly safe?'
'Assuredly, while on the other
hand a glass of butterm1lk contains
a million germs. Preceding such oc-
casions it should be avoided as a
deadly pestilence."
But the alcoholic-even denatured
is impractical. For where, I ask,
are the highballs? Where are the
Scotch highballs, the rye highball,
the gingerale highbau? Where also
aare the Martins, the Sazeracs, the
Manhattan, the Bronx cocktails, the
horses neck, the pigs foot chaser,
the creme gin fizz, the gin rickeys,
the absinthe frappe, the long toddy,
the dry champagne, the vim blanc
of yesterday-even the south's own
masterpiece, the mint julep Of other
years? "Where are the SHOWS of
yesterday" Francois Villon was
wont to question plaintively back in
the time Of Louis XIV. All, Francois,
had you but lived to see today! You
would have seen that the SHOWS but
melt to return another year-but
Francois, you might have had real
question for your inspiration. Yea,
verify, question worthy of your
wit.
So even though the F. M: D. says
that kisses make the ideal chaser
what's the use?
It's a unitarian age. I almost
said an unromantic age. You'll have
to adopt the lipstick, after all.
And the F. M. D. expetcs to make
her everlastingly fortune as soon as
it is placed on the market. Well, we
shall see what we shall see.

New-Style Lifeboat
Sucks Up Water
And Blows It Out

HOOK OF HOLLAND.-An unusual
type of lifeboat, which operates by
sucking water up from the ocean
and blowing it back again, and so
obtaining a speed Of nine miles an
hour, has been adopted by the life
saving crew which works in stormy
waters along the Dutch coast here.
The boat has hole in the bottom,
through which the water is drawn
by an intake pipe which leads to a
powerful centrifugal pump operated
by a 140-horsepoWer steam engine.
The water is then forced backward
into the sea through two outlet
pipes opening at the bottom of the
craft. e.
The boaat is controlled by shut
ting off, either wholly or in part,
one or the other of these outlet
pipes. If one is shut off it goes to
starboard; if the other, it goes to
port. If both are shut off. and the
water diverted harmlessly over the
sides while the suction goes on at
| the intake, it is claimed the boat
rests almost still on the stormiest
of oceans, the suction holding 1t
| firmly on the water.
The Dutch lifesavers have found
that this craft keeps steadier than
any boat propelled with oars or by
| screws. 1t is fifty-eight feet long
and has a capacity for from 40 to
100 passengers, depending upon the
state of the sea. 1t has been in use
for some time and has saved many

BY MEADoRA FIELD

Many ways have been advanced to
make the kiss sanitary. But If you
try to follow them, not much of the
kiss is left. 1t gets denatured. The
worst suggestion was that we kiss
through a paper mask.
Now, however, an Atlanta woman
doctor has developed a new idea
a germicide in the lip stick which
serve all its sentimental flair"
Of course, there are various kinds
Of kisses. They range from the
chaste salute on the brow to the
movie closeup 'fade-out."
There's the duty kiss, the habit
kiss, the kiss that caresses your
cheek lightly as failing snow
nose, and the bucolic smack. There
are kisses that aren't worth tuppence
and there are kisses worth a mil
lion.
But nobody seems to know exact
ly how kissing started. 1t was a
very long time ago and the custom
doesn't seem to be lying, in spite of
the scientists, physicians and other
unromantic individuals who are for
ever analysing the kiss, from an alb
solute1y impersonal standpoint, Of
course, and pointing out it's many
dangers. Some say that 1t had its
origin back in cannfbalistic days and
is an echo of the "bite." In other
words, when a fellow cannibal made
a. pretense of biting a piece from
your cheek, it was only his playful
way of giving you to understand
that he considered you delectable
enough to eat. AS eating was just
about the aim and end of his exist
ence, you may value the compliment
accordingly.
There is no doubt" says the
woman doctor who proposes the lip
stick safeguard, that kisses are
dangerous"
Kingdoms as we'll as happy homes
have been lost through the agency
of single kiss. They should be in
dulged with the greatest discretion.
But the doctor doesn't mean that
sort of danger. In her own words,
every mouth is an incubator of
germs"
Heavens!
Isn't that delightful food for
thought when you are sitting out on
the front steps, with your best be-
loved. and there are million stars
in the sky, overhead, and suddenly
one of them shoots down from St.
Michaeps way, and that means
1t means only one thing. From
time immemorial it has meant kiss.

CIVIL RULE OF
u. S. IN HAITI IS
LDOPPRESSIVE

PORT AU PRINCE, Nov. 23.-(By
the Associated Press. 1.-The Ameri-
can civil administration in Haiti is
| more oppressive than the military"
President Dartiguenave declared in
the 3,000-word statement he made
Monday, attacking the public service
of Minister Blanchard and John Nc
Ilhenny, financial adviser of the
black republic.
The president charged that since
American occupation, no effective aid
had been given Haiti for development
of its agricultural and industrial
resources, as stipulated in the treaty,
and that no serious measure had been
proposed with a view to placing
Haiti's finances on a truly solid
basis"
Mr.. McIlhenny is in Washington
and the minister declined to be seen.
Calling attention to the fact that
the financial adviser, as named by
him on the proposal Of President
Wilson, is in effect a Haitian Of
ficial, who is paid $4,000 a year
from Haitien funds the president
said:
I'm reality the financial adviser
does not report to the Haitien gov
eminent; it is the Haitien govern
ment that he pretends to submit to
his sovereign will. The facts are
numerous which show the omnipo-
tence which the financial adviser at
tributes to himself.
Nothing can give more striking
idea Of this omnipotence than the
confiscation by the financial ad-

asserted, has made no inquiry into
the validity of Haitien debts, has
recommended no perfected method of
banking the revenues, and made no
recommendation for the welfare and
prosperity Of the republic. In the
advisory the government multiplied
it's efforts, according to the presi-
dent, who charged:
"The numerous financial purojects,
a agricultural, educational, administra-
tive and rural organizations, meet
the opposition of the Americn Of
ficials, or lie without response, in
the archives Of the American lega-
ton"
Admitting that his own proposals
were not perfect. the president COM
planned because the civil function
aries failed to propose notifications
or substitutes. After his plans had
been turned down the president said
this happened:
"And it is in the name Of the gov

WRANGEL DEFEAT
IS BLAMED ON
OVERCONFIDENCE.

CONSTANTINOPLE Nov. "a
(By the Associated Press.)-The first
story of the downfall Of General
WrangePs white" army was given
the correspondent by one of Baron
WrangeIs own officers who has just
arrived here. General Wrangels de-
feat was ascribed by the officer to
the overconfidence of General Wran-
gel and lack Of appreciation of the
strength of the enemy forces.
The operations across the Dnieper
In October, the officer said, had
shown the bolshevik concentration to
be more considerable than had been
anticipated and this induced General
Wrangel to give up his positions in
Taurida and withdraw within the
Crimean fortified positions, where he
waited the belshevik offensive COM
placently. The principal reason given
by the officer for the success of the
bolsheviki was improvement in the
railway system and the disposition
Of considerable bolshevik reserves.
The bolsheviki, started their drive
two days earlier than General Wran-
gel had planned to retreat from Tau
rida, his retirement of the second
and third corps to Perekou leaving
the remainder Of his army, except the
Don Cossack cavalry corps, on the
Tschongar ishtmus. While this re-
treat was going on the Do1 corps
counter-attacked in a northwesterly
direction and successfully reached
the Dnieper, where the panic strick-
en- bolshevik1 destroyed the position
to one bridge.
General Wrangel then hastily re-
formed three corps under General
Kuitepoff, which. after a brief re-
sistance against the bolsheviki moved
southwark to cut off Buddenny's cav.
airy, which was advancing with ex-
treme rapidity toward the south
east from a point north of Kakhovia.
Buddenny's cavalry already had
reached Salkovo and was threaten
ing to cut off the retreat Of General
! Wrangeps right wing.
The bolsheviki, taking advantage
Of the freezing Of the Putrid sea,
crossed and outflanked General Wran-
gels advanced position across the
| 1sthmus, appearing in considerable
| strength at ADMINISTRATORS They
thus Were enabled to advance the
main body Of their artillery without
difficulty to Perekop, where their SUI
peritority in guns gave them the adj
vantage in frontal attack on Cen
eral Wrangeps principal lines.
General WrangePs evacuation OF
| the Crlmea was in marked contrast 70
| that of Odessa. 1t was executed ac-
cording to plan with minimum loss,
| after such severe defeat.

Does the flying fish really fly?
Or does it merely leap out Of the
water and glide through the air?
This is a question that has been
much disputer; which is rather odd,
considering how many people have
had opportunities to watch at leis-
ure the aerial stunts" Of the finny
species in question.
The fact, as asserted by eminent
naturalists, is that the flying fish
does fly. In flight it will sometimes
turn at right angles, or even at a
very acute angle. Nay. more, it is
occasionally observed to turn about
swiftly and come back in a direc-
ton opposite to that in which it's
course was begun.
From the bow Of ship one may
see the wings of flying fishes flap
as they hurry to get out of the way.
When in full flight, the outlines Of
their wings" are blurred to the
eye, so rapidly are the flappings.
They sometimes fly $50 or 200
yards without rising more than a
couple of feet above the surface of
the sea. Often they are. observed to
rise over the crests Of waves and
sink into the hollows. These per-
