lions is intended to give those of the
local thesbians of Irish ancestry, a
chance to perform.
Suppressed Desires" freudina
comedy in two scenes by Susan Glas-
pell and George Cram Cook is espe-
cially we'll suited for amateur produc-
ton. 1t was first given by the Pro-
vinceton Players of Provinceton,
Mass, of which Mr.. Cook is director.
During the past year it has been given
twice in Richmond by local talent.
The third of the plays, six Who
Pass While the Lentils Boil" by Stu
art Walker Is a very unique playlet.

PREJUDICE AGAINST
u. s. DISCUSSED BY
URUCUAYAN MINISTER
fRv Associate,l Press,


MONTEVIDEO, Feb. 2S-The United
States should not only be right in its
conduct toward South and Central
American republics. but should seem
to be right, DR.. Juan A. Buero. foreign
minister of Uruguay, told North Amer
lean correspondents in an interview
the other day.
DR.. Buero made this statement when
asked by the correspondents concern
ing the prejudice reported to exist in
South America against the United
States because of actions taken at
various times in regulating the affairs
Of some of the less stable republics in
the tropic zone.
Agitators are Active. Esq.,.
Uruguay" he replied, thoroughly
understands the United States and the
reasons for its actions. However, some
Of the nations that have had, difficult
ties with the United States may not
understand the North American posi-
ton. Furthermore, there are a number
of agitators throughout South America
willing to play upon the minds of the
people to influence them against North
America and make them believe that
the great northern republic is actuated
by n spirit of aggression.
Wherefore permit me to suggest in
the interest of American solidarity and
universal good will among American
republics that the United States not
only be but seem to be right in its
dealings with South and Central Amer
lean republics. The facts and the ap-
pearances should coincide
Discussing the League of Nations,
DR.. Buero declared that without North
4 America it could not be a success. 1t
could not do without the physical,
moral and financial support of that
nation. he said.

.Capper. Tells Story.
In connection with the department
of commences report on the revival of
the wooden industry, story being told
in Washington by Senator Capper of
Kansas illustrates how low level to
which industry dropped. He states
that when M. E. Haskins, a Kansas
farmer. shipped 1856 pounds of wool
to a commission house in Kansas City
some weeks ago, he asked the broker
to send him a sweater and pay for IL
out of the money due Haskins for
his wool.
The senator states that after the
freight, war tax, storage, commission
and insurance were paid by Haskins
he had $11.40 coming for his wool, but
the sweater and express charges came
to $15.15. And it takes only pound
of wool to make sweater. AS the
account stands Haskins owes the COM
mission broker 1915 and he has 81
more to pay for the shearing.

"Our cotton crop is the second

said, with the result that about 4S

districts Of Texas are suffering from

1lliteracy is not uncommon in the
cotton states, she said, and the
women and girls on the farm are
poorly paid for the work they do,
because the cotton crop does not
bring sufficient profit for the
grower.

The material most favored at the

Paris, Is silk tricot, or jersey, as
1t is better known here. Such ma
terials as georgette and serge seem
to have faded into the background.
Silk Jersey is being used for all
manner of frocks, particularly
sports apparel. 1t would scarcely
do for our northern winters, but it
will make lovely sports things for
those women who sojourn in the
south during the cold weather.
Here is rather unusual frock
designed by Paris modesto for
winter sports wear. 1t is made Of
white silk jersey. The full sleeves
are pleated with tiny pleats to
match the long, full skirt. The
blouse is a, surplice affair with a
roll collar and a drop shoulder ef-
feet. The waist line is confined fy

nately brown and white. Othor-
wise the frock is unadorned. The

There are few other exercises
which you quite literally do with
your face. One Of them is to
pucker up the lips as though you
were blowing out distant candle
Blow hard, take a deep breath of
air and repeat, and repeat again
rs or 80 times. This tends to fill
out hollow cheeks, it strengthens
the muscles around the mouth,
avoiding those ugly wrinkles that
run from the nose to the chin and,
incidentally, it is the only exercise
I know of that will improve the
shape of the lips.
OF course If you have wrinkles,
hollow cheeks and a badly shaped
mouth, this exercise won't Instant
ly make you beautiful. The things
we do to improve our looks are al

times the result seems so little that

THE WOMAN HE. Married
BY JANE PHELPS.

Dick had spent all his time with
Juanita during my absence. But I
never had been able to question a
servant. So turned, went to my
room, bathed my face, changed my
travelling dress, then ate my lunch
con. Afterward I went into the
study.
Here I found much to disturb
me. A letter commenced to me,
then partially destroyed. But
Juanitas name was legible. What
had he written? Had he almost
decided to end everything and go
with her? ] also found a note
from her to him, a note written
before I went away, in which she
upbraided him for not caring
enough for her to be impervious to
idle gossip 1t was an intimate
note, one only a woman who felt
sure of herself could write. But
one sentence in It brought me such
peace as I had not experienced in
weeks-yes, in months.
your moral ideas and actions
are a great compliment to your
bringing up. Not many men would
be so undemonstrative toward the
woman they loved. T, of course,
honor you for it, but how long are
you going to allow false notions
of fidelity to her, to your marriage
vows, to stand between us? You
swear you adore me, and-remain
on the other side Of the room. Too
much conscience is a disease in
these times, my dear Dick. I would
not write this way, but you say
you always destroy my notes as
soon as read. For heavens sake
destroy this. She doesn't make
you happy-you will not allow me
to. What Is one to do with such
a boy? Come over and talk it
over, Writer-man."
You may think that there was
not much in this paragraph to give
me peace. but 1t proved beyond

he had in thought. ] am a woman

than can tell. Was my dream a
