WHAT IS FTP

Hamilton Holt speaks for tn,
majority of Americans when h,
calls upon President Harding t.
make clear to the public his "as
sociation of nations" plan. From
Mr.. Hollis letter nothing can be
drawn by inference that he i:
trying to embarrass the presi.
dent or to employ partisan tao
tics. His action is prompted
not only by the knowledge that
the swift passing of time with
out some indication from the
white house of the country's at
tltude toward world problems
menaces the peace of the world,
but also the further knowledge
that the Harding plan, if there
be one, will acquire the fullest
possible discussion.
Mr.. Holt appropriately calls
to the presidents attention that
the League Of Nations as an is
sue has been before Mr.. Hard
ing, as senator, presidential can
dldate, president-elect and pres
ident, for six years that in this
time he must have reached some
convictions on the principle /;
that as senator he voted for a
modified league; that as a candL
date he was ambiguous as to his
attitude; that as a president-e-
lect ne was silent. and that as
president he repudiated it and
permitted his ambassador to
England to reject it with a fling
ing insult to the men who
fought the war.
The public has been indulgent
with the new occupant of the
white house, perferring to give
him time to get set, but the
League of Nations issue is too
old for him to plead much long
er the need for time. AS Mr..
Holt says, unless the president
speaks soon, the public will have
no other conclusion than that
either you have no concrete
plan at all or else that you pro-
pose to put party harmony a.

THE CALF OF THE LEG


 Ever since short skirts have been in fashion one notices a peculiarity of appearance about many otherwise very pretty women. That is, the leg seems to begin at the ankle and goes ti1y rounded line for as great a dis tance as the skirt reveals it; which parenthetically, in these days is no in inconsiderab1e distance.
 Many women who weigh about what they should and who live mod erately active lives are badly developed in the calf of the leg and the ankle. There seems to be no particular reason for this unless it is that they have never taken sufficient leg exercises. There are several exercises which will correct this condition. One is dancing, which is splendid for deve1- oping the calf of the leg particularly, and the whole body as well. Another exercise is swimming, and still an- other tennis playing, and still anoth- | CT which any woman can practice, is as follows:
 Stand as much on the toes as possi- | ble, either in your stocking feet or in a pair of heelless. soft-soled bed- room slippers that will allow the toes to spread. Raise yourself up on the | toes, remain so for ten seconds, re- | lax so the body rests on the entire | foot once more. Repeat this 50 or more times and practice it twice a day | as exercise. At the same time train yourself to walk about the room | while you are dressing as much on your toes as you can manage. F'aith- fully practiced this well develop the | calf of the leg.
 1 Ruby.-You will be able to do this by using the henna shampoo. | Worried-1f the hair splits, singe- ing will stop this and help it to grow. | There is no particular time for doing this. There used to be a supersti- ton that hair should be trimmed in | the first quarter of the moon, pos- sibly that is what you a1lude to. Ex- l ercise the arms, using all the strenu- I ous motions that will tense the mus | cles, as in rowing This should make them more shapely. l R. V.-You are 25 pounds over- | weight if you need direction re- duction diet, send stamped address ed envelope. The oily scalp is not healthy, massage it every night tC equalize the circulation. or massa ge with a tonic that is suited to this con-
 dition.
 Mrs A. l.. R.-That is matter ot preference. Sage tea gives the grey hair a tan shade, henna gives it ar
 auburn tint. I do not know if the druggist would make you the sage preparation, but the henna is procur'
 ed in powder form and mixed witt
 the shampoo. It is purchased at tht toilet counters of the departmen Il stores, or at any drug store that car
 ries a full line.
