PARIS WEARS SHORT SLEEVES
Arm Covering So Abbreviated That
Bracelet Is Worn Above the Elbow
by Young Girls.

Over In Paris they are still wearing
short-Sleeved dresses and so short
that the abOvethe-elbOw bracelet is
used with such dresses. especially by
the very young girls whose arms are
as slender above the elbow as below.
The French study the psychology to
q much greater extent than we when
considering a style. For instance, one
authority says that no woman should
wear long sleeves whose head is not
perfectly we'll dressed. With her hair
properly marceled and with perfect
boots a woman may wear long sleeves
with great advantage. And come 10
think of it, can you not picture the
woman with beautifully dressed hair
as a very dainty lady Indeed in
gown with long plain sleeves? If she
has a good complexion, says the
French critic, let the gown be black,
but with n bad complexion avoid black.
In these days of made-up compilations,
however, almost anyone may have
good one. A bracelet made of n band
Of pearls is worn outside the long
sleeve, just above the wrist. or the
watch on a black band Of ribbon Is
used instead outside and not inside
the sleeve.

At censuseS prior To 1920 the enum-
ertOrs' returns showed the sex diStri-
button of the white population only,
males was 10A To 100 in 1910 and 1900
and 1923 to 100 i'm 1890.
Thus it will be seen that in the
United States there has been a pre-
pOnderance of males at every census
from the earliest To the latest. This
condition is due i'm large measure TO
the fact that the total population in
cludes a considerable proportion of
f0reign-bOrn perSOnS-abOut - per
cent in 192Q-among whom the males
greatly Outnumber the females. The
excess of males is not. however, due
wholly to immigration, the native
population having comprised Il greater
number of males than females at
every census for, which separate re-
turnSSfor natives have Gen made.
Thee prepOnderance of males over
females in 1920 appears for every state
in the Union except Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, New York, North Caro-
lima, South Carolina, Georgia and Ala
bama, in which states the number of
males to 100 females ranges from 963
for Massachusetts TO 999 for North
Carolina. The District of Columbia
shows a far greater excess Of females
than appears for any state, its ratio
being only 81 to 100.
The sex ratios are lowest, as a rule
in the Eastern and Southeastern states
and are highest in the Western states.
Among the states east of the Missis-
sippi river, Michigan, with HOS males
TO 100 females, is the only state in
which the ratio is in excess of 10 TO
100; but of the 90 states west of the
Mississippi, 12-NOrth Dakota South
Dakota, Montana, Idaho. Wyoming,
Colorado, New Mexico. Arizona, Ne
vada. Washington, Oregon and Cali
fOrnia-show higher ratios than this,
the highest of all being that for Ne
vada-14S.4 to 100

Twelve-inch mortars will be used by
the railway battalion and the tracks
Of the Oahu railroad will be utilized
to transport them. To strategic points
on the island not touched by the rail
ways at present, spur tracks will be laid,
so that, in case of emergency, heavy
guns may be rushed TO any section of
the coast line as fast as locomotives
can haul them. The railway mOrtars
have a range of $1,000 yards.

MYSTERY WHERE THERE IS NO
 MYSTERY

One of the curious things about men who have things to sell, from the man who has good, eatable currant bun on his counters to him who has $20,000 machine on the market, is that many of them look on advertising as something mysterious Indeed, there are some who hedge it about with so much mysticism that they soon engender incredulity and there fore do not advertise at all. Such men are thelr own worst enemies.
 But where do you find READER of adver- tisements who looks upon them as mysteries! Nowhere. The great mass of people who read newspapers and magazines, look on advertise ments with much the same spirit that they do on the news, reading features, editorials and stories.
 The trouble with that man who has some thing to sell and who considers advertising as something mysterious, is that he has an entirely wrong view of the subject. There can be no mystery in an industry - advertising -w whose greatest power comes from playing in the open.
 Lies and misrepresentation in advertising are splendid routes to the poor house. It Is easily proved that it is far-FAR AWAY more profitable to tell the truth every time in an advertisement.
 No great education is needed to prove the truth of the effectiveness of advertising. If the man who is in doubt about it, who looks on advertising as a mystery, will make up his mind to give ten hours of his Iife-ONLY TEN HOURS-to a reading study of its value, he will get all the education he needs.
 Read one book by an expert on the subject and your eyes will be opened-WIDE

BUSINESS INTERESTED IN FORESTRY

Serious attention of business men from on" end of the United States to the other is now to be given to forestry. The Chamber of Commerce of the United States has appointed commit tee to study the problems of forestry This will not be perfunctory study. It will be a prac- tical investigation of the conditions in every part of the United States and careful study of the problem of what shall be done 10 pcrpet uate our forests to reforest waste land, and to provide for supply of forest products for our future needs and to protect existing forests
 The committee, composed of able and experi- enccd men, will perhaps come first to the Pa. cifc coast, where the bulk of the remaining timber of the United States stands, and make detailed examination of conditon Later other regions will be visited and similar inves- tigations made ..., -.
 No more important development in forestry has occurred in some time than this interest of business men who, under the auspices of so powerful and influential an organization as the Chamber of Commerce of the United States propose to learn for themselves facts about the forest conditions and help to solve the forest problems which are so serious. Whatever they decide to do will have strong influence upon legislation, both state and national and aid materially in getting the legislation which is so urgently needed.

KING PETER IS DEAD

King Peter of Serbia died Tuesday at Bel grade at the age of e years, after m, st event full career He was tall, erect ana muscular and in spite of his age had the appearance of a much younger man. ''He had all the rugged qualities of one sprung from the soil," wrote one biographer. He took pride in referring to his humble origin and throughout his life lived modestly and unostcntatiously. He was extremely democratic and affabe. His tastes were simple to the point of severity. He was beloved by his people, particularly the peas antry, who called him Father Peter.''
 But his royal career was becIouded by a grave and terrible tragedy-the assassinations of his predecessor, King Alexander, and the latter's wife, Queen Draga-in the palace at Belgrade on June 10, 1903. A suspicion that members of the Karageorgevitch family, of which Peter was member, were implicated in the con- spiracy which eXterminated the rival ruling Obrenovitich dynasty of which Alexander and Draga were representatives, and which placed Peter on the throne five days later was never entirely removed. In 1911, when King Peter made tour of Europe, he received somewhat of cold reception from other royalties
 All told, more than 50 persons were killed or wounded in the palace at Belgrade when 40 army officers forced their way in with dyna- mite, shot down all who stood in their way as they pressed toward the apartments of King Alexander and Queen Draga, and murdered their majesties as they crouched in corner of their room, clasped in each others arms Their bodies were cast through window, glass and all, into the palace park. At the same time two
