Dorothy Dix Tails
Be Natural. Girls.
By DOROTHY DIX
Morid.a HiEhest Paid Woman WRiteE.

Norma Talmadge. than whom there
is no greater authority on the Conn
plete Art of Vamping, advises the girl
who wants to be admired by men to
be natural.
Don't try to be something that you
are not" she says. don't pretend.
Don't pose. Don't be always up stage.
as we say in the theater. Be simple
Be natural. Nobody can always act a
part. Sooner or later they are found
out and then they look like silly
cheaters. I know I would hate for the
man I was interested in to find out
that I wasn't the kind of girl had
made him believe was"
1t is to be hoped that these words
OF wisdom will be taken to heart by
the silly little flappers who are masses
of camouflage from their hand-patnt-
ed complexions, to their spool-heeled
ree-sizes-t oo-small shoes, and who
go about with the set expression OF a
wooden doll trying to look like the
soulful ingenue, or the wicked siren
in the movies after whom they at
tempt to rnttern themselves.
They think that they are making
themselves irresistibly fascinating to
men, but they are, in reality, making
the mistake OF their lives, for there is
nothing that men hate as much as
they do affectation. And it's the thing
mon are simple creatures themselves
wath simple. direct impulses. AMI they
don't know how to deal With subEety
and pretenSe and general slippery
snakiness In a woman.
There is no other quality in q
woman that appeals to a man more
than sincerity. Just common, every
day honesty that makes him ;eel that
he really knows what she looks like
when she hasn't got her war paint OF.
and what she thinks, and what Ideals
ana standards of life and conduct she
holds by.
There's nothing aliurfng to him in
the girl who is just a tissue OF make
believe that he can see thru, and who
makes him wonder what manner of
woman she is under the calcimine.
and what she looks like when she first
wakes up of a morning. and that
leaves him guessing whether she is as
big a fool as she seems to be. or would
be an intelligent human being IL she
would quit acting cute and like a doll
baby.
1t is a common thing for a girl 10
try to find out what man likes in a
woman and then try to be it. to play
up to his ideal. Many a maiden, who
wears herself to fragile pretending to
be something she isn't, wonders why
the man never proposes and why she
has had all her labor for naught. The
reason is because the man sensed her
insincerity. He saw her a living lie,
and 1t didn't hit his fancy. After all.
when a man marries, he doesn't want
Saphira for a wife. He wants truth
full Jane.
What makes the folly of girls in
posing so pitiful is that they would be
ten times as attractive II they would
only be natural; for somehow we can
only get away with the things we were
intended to do.

1t is reported that there has been
a heavy decline in our export trade
to South America. all on account of
those wicked Germans, who have re-
ceived large orders for textiles, steel.
paper and hardware, for which they
are obtaining prices averaging so per
cent below Americas best quotations.
In addition to these low prices, Ger
man exporters are pursuing the pol
icy OF extending long term credits to
South American purchasers, their
statesmen speak the language of the
countries to which they are sent, the
wants of the Latin-Americans are
.keenly studied. and the methods Of
backing are all that could be desired.
The government commercial represen-
tative at Buenos Aires reports that
F'there is little prospect of placing or
ders for American goods except for
necessities such asioil well equipment,
railroad supplies and office supplies"
If American producers would go out
after business on competitive basis
instead of clamoring for protection, it
might be better for them and for the
entire country.

UNCLE SANS SHIPS.

The government seems about to
consummate the sale of big lot of
its useless wooden ships. The whole
collection of about 900, it appears.
will scarcely bring an amount equal
to the cost of one of the largest. But
it is regarded as better to let them go
than to keep them. The sale will elm
mate a considerable item of expense.
These wooden ships should never
have been built. General Goethals
told the government so, but the lum-
Der interests were insistent on obtain
ing a place at the public trough, so
Goethals was displaced and the wood
en- ships were built at an enormous
cost. The money spent was worse
than wasted because 1t absorbed men
who were peeded in other employ
ment.
In presenting to the house of rep
resentatives the deficiency appropr1a-
ton bill for the shipping board, Con-
gresham Madden summarized the sit
uation in which the government
owned merchant marine is now in
volved as follows:
The shipping boards operations
800, 100000. The board now owns
100 ships, 800 of which are wooden.
The cost OF the wooden ships was ap-
proximatsiy $3oo,O00,OOO. The wood
en- ships are practically useless and
the government might profit by TAX
ing them out to sea and sinking them
in order to save cost CT maintenance.
At present the steel ships are oper-
ated under contracts which provide
that the government shall supply all
the money to operate the ships, keep
them in repair. pay port charges and
pay the men and that the operating
manager shall! receive per cent of
the gross receipts. 1t Is estimated
that the losses from operation last
year were $2o0,0OO.oOO.
The accounts of the shipping board
have been kept in such manner that
it is impossible to determine with any
degree OF accuracy the financial status
of the boards affairs or the amounts
of its losses. All figures are approx
nations.
According to Madden's statement,
There is no chance of selling the
merchant marine fleet today; you
could not give a ship away. There is
no chance Immediately to modify the
contract in the way we would like %
have 1t modified" The appropria-
tons committee would like to have
the ships sold but at the present time
there is no market for them.
The shipping board asked for an
appropriation of s125.oO0.O 900 but in
vestigation disclosed that $25,00O,0
OF that was for purposes already COW
cred by appropriations. The house
committee on appropriations investi-
gated the items covered by the re-
naming 500. 100000 estimate and de-
cided that slightly less than half. or
4S,50o,000. would be sufficient,
which sum was recommended. The
board has what it calls 100000, 900
Of live assets-amounts due the
board-and there are claims pending
to the amount of s35O,O0O,o0o under
process of litigation. Mr.. Madden es-
Inmates that it might be possible &C

If congress continue to lop off taxes
here and there, as it has been doing
in the preparation of the new revenue
bill. it is difficult TO see how it can
avoid deficit. But this may be a
good thing. for it will tend to crowd
out extravaganza, and it will demon
strate the futility of the present taxa
ton system and force the country into
a business solution of the problem,
thru the sales tax. The beauty of the
sales tax is that the farmer, laborer,
mechanic or business man who is fru-
sal and accumulates the capital which
builds factories and furnishes employ
ment for labor, would be encouraged
IN his frugality. He would not be
obliged to pay that tax upon what he
saves. The extravagant man, the lux
ury lover, and spendthrift, would pay.

GIANT. LINER ! BEING SOUGHT
 FOR LODGINGS
American Legion Seeking Leviathan for Home for
 the Jobless Men.

NEW YORK, Oct. 14-Use of the giant liner Leviathan, for months idle at the army docks at Hoboken, as shelter and sleeping quarters fol homeless and jobless ex-service men, is being sought of the Shipping Board by the American Legion.
 Following the Shipping Boards an nouncement that the ship is going to be reconditioned and restored to serv- ice, the Legion likewise requests that as many unemployed service men as possible be hired for the ex- tensive repair work. The minimum estimate of the cost of reconditioning the liner <is $S,O00, 900, and large number of men could be employed throughout the winter.
 "It would be most commendable 5On the part of the Shipping Board and would earn the everlasting gratitude of the ex-service men if immediately the unemployed could be put to work reconditiOning this ship or if, in the meantime, homeless ex-service men WOutu UCF pCI lLlllICu LO dsC IL oo tiiCNa temporary headquarters" John T. Taylor, vice-chairman of the Legion's legislative committee at Washington has written A. D. Lasker, chairman of the Shipping Board. "Thousands of these men are walking the streets or sleeping in parks at night and permission to use the ship on which they once crossed the ocean would give them the feeling that our coun- try has not forgotten them.''
 The Leviathan. formerly the Ger man Vaterland, carried 4,500 Amer- to Europe before the Armistice. Her average capacity per trip was 14,000 men.

NORTHWESTERN WILL TOUCH
 HERE ON WAY SOUTH, CLAIM

That the steamer Northwestern will call at Juneau on the present southbound trip. is the news received today by Glen Bartlett of the Gas tineau Hotel in private wire from passengers on the boat. It was not known here whether or not the boat was to make stop at Juneau or go to Seattle via the outside route, but the telegram would seem to settle the matter.
 The telegram stated that the North western would leave Seward tonight for Seattle by way of Juneau and was due to arrive here Tuesday night or Wednesday morning.
 ! If the Northwestern does not make a stop at Juneau southbound. there will be no boat south out of Juneau until October P or 23. when the Spokane will depart from here.

Believes Hawaii Was is72 Once Nearer Australia

SYDNEY, Australia, Oct. 14.-That the Hawaiian Islands at some prehis- toric period were much larger and extended much nearer to Australia than they do now, is the belief of Dr. D. H. Campbell, who is visiting Professor Lawson, of Sydney Uni versity, former student under Dr. Campbell at Leland Stanford. Jr., University, California.
 Dr. Campbell says that the simil' arity between some Australian plants and those of Hawaii indicat es that at one time there must nave been much larger land formations in abe Pacific, since America, which now is closer to Hawaii than is Ans .tralia. shows no such botanical sinil- arities.
