sibillty; some folks reckon Grover
Cleveland as the twenty-secOnd and
the twenty-fOurth president. This
duality of Mr.. Cleveland would make
Mr.. Harding the twenty-ninth Presi-
dent. It's strange thing that in so

tanned S3,3JS which he claimed was

Washington, April 18. - Ten
times as much money every year
for iuxuries as for education!
That is what 10 wronk with the
educational system In the United
States, according to Or. p. p. Clex-
ton, United States commissioner Of
education, who, on the eve OF the
assembling of the new congress
under a brand new administration
has deemed the time propftious to
invite attention to the fact that
American women spend each year
almost as much for perfume,
powder and cosmetics as is spent
In the whole country on public in
gtruction.
I'VE think we believe In educa-
eion," said DR.. Claxton. I'VE talk
much about 1t and many of us
have believed that we pay much
for It; that 1t in fact constitutes
a very great burden II indeed 1t is
not our chief burden. No doubt
we do believe In education in a
way, but we have not and do not
pay much for II"
DR.. CClaxton backs uD his argu-
mont that we pay very little for
public education with some rather
startling and Illuminating figures.
For instance, in 1918, the last year
on which figures are available, he
shows that the total expended for
public education in the United
States was somewhat less than ST.
000,000,000. Figuring on the
basis OF 100, 900, 900 population,
tk24 amounts to about $40 a head.
Two years later, according to
Dr. Claxton, in 1920, American
womea spent on face powder, per-

1.-THE critics complain at wom-
ems short skirts, thin waists and
like terrors. The critics | believe,

however, don't think girls should
roll their stockings so that their
knees are visible, or wear skirts
which reach only to their knees. ="
From a standpoint of health

ards holds.
Modern Girl Healthier.
1.-The modern woman who does
mt wear corsets and tight skirts
is far better off than her ances-

necessity" says Miss Richards.
The tendency of the modern
youth to smoke was denounced by
Dean Richards.

CANT. senseless habit" she said.
Concerning smoking among wo-
men, she added: Although | am

girls should not smoke. Men look
TO women TO uphold their ideals.
and the conduct of girls has much
TO do with the actions of the men

1T Is interesting, continues
DR.. Claxton, ito compare some of
these items with the expenditures

for face powder, cosmetics and
perfume is only $12,0O0,0O0 less
than the total amount expended
