THE PUBLlc's OPPORTUNITY

Merchandise offerings in Clovis
are unusually attractive at the pres
ent time and are making the city
bargain center at which trade from
far and near finds its wants at the
most reasonable prices. At no time
before have tine stores Of the city
demonstrated their ability to interest
the people of all this territory so well
as they are doing at present. They
are making II an object to trade in
Clovis. People from a distance find
it of advantage to travel to the city.
Meanwhile, tho largest markets Of all.
which is the home town, finds mer-
chandise of good quality right at its
doors offered at prices, lower than
anyone year ago would have dared
to predict.

because the Romans were the great
organizers and commanders of the
world. But it is quite likely that
there were as many Greek noses
among the Romans as among the
Greeks, and that Roman noses
were as usual in Athens as in
Rome. The point is that the Ro-
mans We're realists in art. They
delighted more in depicting real
men and women than in making
idealized statues of the Odds and
goddesses. Therefore they made
noses as they are and not as they
thought they should be, and in
Rome then as in England or our
own country today, a remarkably
large number of people who have
done things whose features were
therefore worth immortalizing in
marble or bronze had the so-called
Roman type OF nose.
But to get back to the Greek
nose 1T is said that the object of
the Greek artist was to give the
appearance of eternal youth. He
therefore took as his ideal features
those that were essentially youth
full and masculine. Even when he
was depicting Venus herself he car
ried in his mind this image of eter-
nal youthfulness, the inspiration of
which he derived in a measure
from the proportions of the young
boy. And even among us there is
far more tendency to the Greek
type of nose among young boys
than among anyone else. With age
and the settling of the features
comes tho ridge in the arch of the
nose that prevents a nose from be-
ing Greek.
Still, of course, you do find the
Greek nose in the flesh 1t was
held in especially high regard by
the Greeks because they had made
it their ideal. And noyelists and
poets throughout the ages have
occasionally sung its praises. Take
Lott, for instance. He describes
the heroine of his "An Iceland
Fisherman as having a short pro-
file, and the forehead continued
with an absolutely straight line to
the end of her nose, like those
chiseled in Greek art"
Frederick the Great was one of
the very few really great mon who
had Grecian nose. Lavater, the
famous student Of physiognony,
wrote of him: The forehead
which forms almost a straight and
continued line with the nose, an
nounces impationcc against the hui
man race and communicates the
expression of it to the checks and

ADJUSTMENT OF RAILWAY
DISPUTES.

One purpose Of the new govern
ment provision for temporary
safety for railways, as to finance,
was to remove fear of workers that
the companies would be compelled
to soon reduce wages because Of
scarcity of funds during the period
before business has been put back
upon the former basis. Congress
has provided for necessary in
creases in freight rates to stop
losses and enable roads to secure
credit and keep out of the hands
of receivers. And it is a part of
the Act that wage reductions shall
not be made, under any circum-
stances, before next September, by
which time it is expected new
rates will be in force and business
be sufficient to enable all lines
to maintain compensation upon a
satisfactory basis. In case of any
proposed changes the then exist
ing condition of business and
rates will be taken into considera-
ton.
As a means of settling disputes,
the law provides for the establish
mont of railroad boards of labor
adjustment by agreement between
carriers and employees. Each such
adjustment board is to hear and
decide disputes involving only such
grievances, rules, or working con-
ditions, as have not been decided
In conference of representatives of
carriers and employees. The car
rier, organized employees. or unor-
ganized employees may bring dis
putes before the adjustment board,
the board may initiate hearing,
or the labor board may request it
when this board thinks the dispute
likely to interrupt commerce. This
labor board is to be composed of
nine members, three representing
employees and subordinate officials.

TIE GRECIAN NOSE.

That the Greek nose was almost
as unusual among the ancient
Greeks as it is among present-day
Americans is generally conceded by
those who have taken the trouble
to study the facial characteristic
of the citizens and citizenesse5 of
Athens and Sparta and the rest Of
the Hellenic lands. one might as
sensibly assume that the short,
straight, doll nose of the pipular
magazine covers of these days was
the sort of nose that prevails
among our young women. You
know how seldom you see one of
those maga2ine-cover girls in the
flesh. We'll, it was probably just
as seldom that the ancient Greeks
met a Grecian woman with the
nose of the Venus de Milo, or any
of the other statuary ladies that
have made this nose famous.
The chief characteristic of the
Greek nose is that there is Il
straight line from the forehead to
the end of the nose. There is no
ridge in the bridge of the nose be-

ARMY AND EMPLOYMENT.

Officers of the United States re-
cruiting service are at some pains
to explain that the drive for service
volunteers will not decrease the
available labor supply, but that on
the other hand new soldiers are
needed to take the place of those
who are returning from khaki to
civil life. 1t is not case of the
army making inroads upon the
labor market, but of the labor mar
ket making inroads upon the army,
they declare. In support of this
view it is pointed out that $4,000
men will be discharged from the
army this month and next, as their
terms Of enlistment expire.
furthermore, army organizers
maintain that the men being dis
charged will more than replace
those being recruited, man for
man. because during their months
in uniform they have been taught
some gainful occupation or skilled
trade. Mechanists, carpenters,
plumbers, railroad men, automo-
bile repairmen and accountants
are among those who are being
discharged now in large numbers,
many of them having learned their
trade and all having made marked
advance in proficiency during their
army period.
Nowadays, war-maliing is only
one of a number of things that the
soldier of Uncle Sam is called upon
to learn. The new army organiza-
ton evolved as a consequence Of
war experience, not only broadens
the volunteer through travel, but
equips him to be a more produc-
tive worker by adequate instruc-
ton
Because the army is now a real
university the recruiting officers
are making a strong bid for the CO.
operation of employers. They are
not satisfied with the merely quies-
cent assent demanded by patriotic
motive, and are striking out for
frank recognition that the new
army is an army Of economic
service.

CIVIC EFFORT ENJOYABLE.

Theodore Roosevelt once said:
Every man owes some of his time
to the upbuilding of the profession
to which he belongs If a man
owes something to his own pro-
fessional body, he must owe even
more to his home town. Most men
have received more benefits from
the community in which they live
than from the widely scatt9'ed
people who follow the same calling.
Yet how difficult it often is to get
people to give even a small frac-
ton of their valuable time to pub
lie effort. Thousands of towns
have organized improvement socie-
ties, and then it would hap
pen after several meetings that
only few people would attend. If
an office was to be filled, people
had to he coaxed to accept it.
In other communities that show
the modern spirit, business and
professional men are willing 20
give time to public work, and
farmers and mechanics will also
quit work any time to take hold
of some public improvement.
1t would be a good general prin-
ciple to lay down, that everyone
ought to be willing to give several
hours of his time weekly to public
enterprises. This would not neces-
sarily mean adding anything to the
burdens people have to carry. 1t
should be a pleasure for people to
get together and plan and work
for some public cause, They get
social life out of it and real en-
ioyment as much as if they were
playing some game.
If people were willing to show
this community spirit, they would
he amply rewarded. Their gains
would come in several ways
1. Their pride in a finer town.
2. The enjoyment of a more at
tractive community life.
g. Higher values for their real
estate, business and other property.
Community spirit pays over and
over again, and the people who
give time to public efforts never
regret it.
