WHY NOT SHORTEN SKIRTS?
Business Men All Want Short Letters

a cold. printed urgance is needed TO
get results. However. the notices
may react on different individuals,
they Enthusiastically have a psycholo-
gical effect on those who enter an
office where they are unacquainted
and where the maxims are in evil
dence. often the notices carry
poignant messages to the office visit
or, of the character of the man
who presides there. or they hint of
the attitude, maintained or give
scent Of the atmosphere prevalent.
Quite often the notices interpret
themselves in accordance with the
state Of mind of the reader.
Whether notices are in strictly
good taste or whether they serve eff
iiciently the purpose for which they
were intended seems Of small con-
sequence. They are found almost
everywhere, in all types of offices and
business houses. Perhaps they are
rot found in such numbers and va
rictics today as they were a few
years ago. but they are still with Us
to a noticeable extent.
Motto on Wane.
If the fad Of the office motto is
on the wane it is not strange. II
may be that the advent of women in
offices has had something to do in
the disminishment of those some
times caustic notices. For women
long ago banished the framed motto
in its divers forms from the walls OF
her home. And If she resented their
reappearance in her office she prob
ably made her employer feel JUSTIFIED
m RELOCATING his favOrite quip 10 the
waste paper basket
Possibly women in another man
ner may be responsible for the ap-
parent loss Of interest in the office
notices Business men Of late have
become so very deeply concerned
over the appearance OF their girl
employees that they have had 10 time
TO GO out and buy new notices
Bobbed hair and short skirts. those
are things that are harrassing the
minds Of the business men today. It
is rather ostensibly strange that the
present day business man so busy
that he demands everything else in
the most abbreviated form should
be so distressed when his steno-
grapher begins the practice OF alb
breviation in her own dress.
The business employer IS distract
&c. re claims the young women
with their short hair and shorter
skirts are demoralizing the OFFICES
forces and he can not get production
from his men. Now the hypothesis.
II those little framed notices exert
ed any work engendering influences
at all why not counteract the dis
Quietlng persuasion OF mOdernly
CARRIED young women with screen OF
appropriate versihcations, sequest-
ering the disturbing influence OF
bodied curls and siIken ankles be

ately without the assistance OF wall
notices. as most business men as
sert they can. then surely they can

Ter enough 10 work just as success

Just how King Solomon would
manage the modern business stua-
ton might be CLEANED from the his
tory OF his conduct where lovely
women weye concerned.

ways around the entire city, travers-
ing as far as possible along the banks
of the river and connecting as many
as possible Of the city parks.
The commissioners realized the ex-
tent of the undertaking. They fore
saw the difficulties that would be in
the way Of it's accomplishment. And
with the determination that all diS-
fculties must be overcome, the park
board members set out to construct
the encircling boulevard system.
The mOtorist, If he makes the drive
at night, Will find the boulevard well
lighted by a system OF modern and
attractive boulevard lights. He will
find that he IS travelling over a broad
smooth roadway. and that he Is af-
forded an excellent view Of one OF
the most beautiful streams in the
country almost the entire length OF
his drive.
And while the motorist may enjoy
the drive over the broad surface Of
the boulevard, and may silently
thank the board Of park commits
sioners, jointly and severally, for
the excellent roadway and for the
view along its route, he is only able
10 appreciate about half OF what the
park board is going TO do for him.
For the boulevard IS not TO STOP
at Angela av. Instead, it is TO con-
tinue along the banks Of the river
to the Four Mile bridge. The park
commissioners have already acquired

the adjoining land for a roadway to

rangements have already been made

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: | am twenty
years old. I have been going with a
fellow five months who is seven years
MY senior l do not really care for
lin, but he takes me places and
shows me a good time except about
going to dances. All my girl chums
go and l have always gone and like TO
dance. The dances are given by
lodge and all nice people go, but this
fellow won't go.
There is another fellow l like real
well who is about my age. He always
goes and often asks me to dance with
him. He would go with me if | would
let him. But the day after | have been
to a dance the other fellow gets an
cry and says he Is going to quit be-
cause l was at the dance or because
l danced with this other fellow.
What would you advise me to do,
go to the dances and enjoy myself or
stay at home and never go any place
just to please the other fellow?
IN DOUBT.
Since you do not care for the young
man who objects to dances, l would
not advise you to give up dancing on
his account. He has no claim on you
and you should feel free to do as you
want to.

FAMOUS SONG PLAYED
BY BAND AT PARK

Remember The Girl in Your Old
Home Town, a song that the Memphis
Scimitar recently proclaimed as prob
ably the most talked of song in
America and having the interest of
the people as no other composition
since Home Sweet Home" and Dixie"
is being featured by Con Jespersons
Band at The World at Home" con-
certs. Sergeant Ret Crosley, the COM
poser, an Indiana newspaper man, is
whistling this number with an occa-
sional accompaniment by Jack Adel-
phia, famous vaudeville whistler.
This song has been mentioned in
the press across the continent and
around the world as the sympathetic
melody that stopped the marriage OF
the Yankee soldier and French girl
Metropolitan papers have said there
would have been at least 10000 more
Franco-American alliances had it not
been for its timely advent and it has
since furnished the subject of sermons
and is used in many church orchestras
in addition TO its popularity with those
who patroniZe the dance.

POLISHED FINGER NAILS.

One reason why women whose hands
are always carefully manicured, Keep
their nails young, is because the nails
are polished every day. The friction
Of the buffer stimulates the circulation
of the blood around and under the nail,
which is enough to keep the nail itself
fresh and young in appearance and
to do away to an extent with the tend
ency towards ridges.
It will not, of course, do away en-
tirely with ridges. These are due to
organic causes. Sometimes they have
to be treated by eliminating uric acid
from the system, which is something
one should do in any case, and some
times they are treated by keeping the
nails fed with the proper sort of oils.
And sometimes they can be treated in
the following way:
Take a small piece of broken glass
and wrap all but one side Of it with
cotton so that you cannot cut your
fingers. Manicure your nails as usual,
but before you are ready to polish
| them let them soak several moments
| in little warm soapy water. Then
! dry them and take the glass and run
| it lightly over the most prominent
ridges on the nails. You can actually
peel off or scrape off these ugly lines,
but you must be careful not to get off
too much. You will be surprised how
easily the surface of the nail will
peel
Then polish the nail with a plain
buffer and no polishing powder. You
may use polishing powder another
time without injury. but in this case
you have exposed the nail below its
outer surface, and | do not think a
drying polishing powder is advisable.
In fact, it is a good idea to rub the
nail with oil or cold cream after this
treatment.
P. H. S.-Purify your blood with a
! spring tonic such as the old-fashioned
one made from flour of sulphur and
table syrup. If these eruptions con-
tinue, consult the doctor. Your scalp
is probably feeling this same condition.
Massage the scalp with hot crude oil
the night before the regular shampoo.
Tie the hair up in a cloth to protect
the bed linen.
/ HELENA.-If you used only henna
in the shampoo, it did not cause your
trouble as this is a tonic for the hair
AS you did not state any particulars
am wondering if you purchased a
preparation having a small per cent OF
henna in it and a large amount OF
dye.
Hair IS so easily cultivated, that you
should be able to start a new growth
in that bare spot, but if you do not
have that confidence in your owl
treatments, you should have some pro
fessional work On it at once
E. B. P.-Massage the legs with
warm cocoa butter every night, which
. will nourish the tissues. But as thi:
is Of Importance to you professionally
why not go to some good physica
trainer who will direct you, so yol
will hasten the development of you

BEST TO STICK TO STANDARD
Gardener Should Not Be MisIed BY
Highly CoIored and Much-Adver
tised Vegetables.

No gardener should be misled by
highly colOred and much-advertised
novelties, or unfamiliar varieties Of
vegetables. Some of them may be
good. but it is better TO stick to the
standard, well-known and approved
varieties. Many varieties of certain
vegetable may be listed in the cats
logue, but only a few may be suited
TO your particular soil, climate or
needs. II in doubt about what to
plant, consult your state college Of
agriculture. the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, the local county
agent or some experienced gardener
in the neighborhood. Carefully figure
the varieties and amount of seed re-
quired; place orders before the hest
stocks of the seed firms are exhausted
Usually it is advisable to purchase
seed from nearby seed firms Or
dealers.
