Independence. Kan, July IA
pretty young school teacher from Ok
lahoma, % years old. came to grief in
police court here after she had mas
queraded as a man in the harvest
fields near here for nearly three
weeks. She came here dressed in
overalls. accompanied by Wilbur
Smith, of Wann, Okla, with whom she
lived during her stay in the fields.
She gave her name as Glenn Rose,
and the pair worked for more than a
week on the farm of c. c. Romig. west
of town. arousing no suspicion among
the other workers, altho it was noticed
that "Glenn" was very tender and
didn't stand the field work so well as
''his'' companion.
She was finally forced to quit work
and come to the city with Smith, the
two occupying the same room at a
local boarding house. The effeminate
actions of fair Glenn aroused the sus-
picions of the other boarders. and
when he was caught repeatedly adj
niring his complexion before the mir
ror the police were notified and the
couple was taken to court for further
Investigation.
When her baggage was searched,
her cast off feminine finery, and sew
eraI locks of rich brown curlS were
found. She admitted having cut them
off when she decided to join Smith
in his trip to the harvest fields. The
couple was convicted and fined for
disorderly conduct, and she was re-
turned to the city Jail as she could
not pay the $35 assessed against her.

 On Street Railway Question.

It seems to be unanimous that this utility is still vital to the' welfare of the country. The time is ripe for final settlement of the trolley situation, the public wants fair 3settleinefft both flor business and for itself. It is up to you gentlemen, he said. to insist on this fair settlement.

safety of the nation and was loudly ap- plauded
 The League for Industrial Rights, in judging these strikes illegitimate, pro- poses to take the middle course between compulsory arbitration and strikes at will' by working against organization support of these "illegitimate" strikes.
 He said in part: ifWe believe in de- mocracy and that ali attempt on the part of an minority to ulctate governmental policies and priac:p,es lays an axe against the roat of A.ntrcsn institutions and freedom. In Enciand where no litigation on industrial matters Is possible the longshoremen struck to prevent depar- ture of diplomats. There is triple al- lance of railroad employees and transpor- tation workers The excess of thls power leads to control, not by ballot, not by reason, but by economic force. Why, gentlemen, the results of a protracted railroad strike are beyond imagination. It has been said that the invasion of :. hostile army would cause less suffering. Organized labor could however, affect this condition. It is as dangerous to fall under the domination of labor as under capital Capital is already in hostage to society on account of its property. Labor is bound by no hostages.
 We must have a national policy The
  doctrine which many of the best labor leaders would accept and which would be written into the organic law of the coun- try It is significant that Senator Cum mins, who put the teeth in the Esch- Cummins Railroad bill has ridden Yic- | torious to reelection. while Esch, wh , made him remove the provisions again st criminal strikes, has been defeated. As | judged by the year 1919, the liability to strike of union as against non-un Ion workmen is about 40-1. The strikes of | the year have resulted in the loss of one l billion dollars in wages to strikers, and this is the injustice, one billion dollars to non-strikers, whose work was indirectly affected. The responsibility is at the. door 1 of organized labor This picture thorough l ly justifies society in taking hand to prevent premature and unnecessary strikes. If you do not formulate a policy | you do not upliold the hands of the bet l ter labor leaders"

Cosmetics Not Needed
 Peel the Skin Instead

One reason mercolized wax is so strong ly recommended is that it really takes the place of several different cosmetics, saw ing time, patience and expense. It IS better than any cleansing cream, better than any massage crealn and better than any rouge, for accomplishing the results for which such articles are used. As the wax actually absorbs an old, faded or dis coIored cuticle, a little each day, the un- derlying skin. which gradually appears, is clearer. softer, healtLier-hued and more youthful than any cosmetic-made com plexion. Spreading OH a thin coat of this wax at night, wash ng it off mornings, in a week or so produces marvellous trans formation. Just one ounce of mercolized wax. obtainable at any drug store. will do the work. There's nothing better to re- move freckles, moth patches liver spots sallawness, blotches, pimples or black heads.
 For wrinkles and loose. saggy skin. face bath made by dissolving one ounce of pure powdered saxolite in a half pint of witch hazel is the best thing that can be recommended. This has remarkable sstringent and tonic properties.
