Beauty Chats

THE HAIR

A LUXURIOUS head of hair will
4 a make even homely face lovely,
and will redeem an otherwise hope
lessly plain woman.
It seems curious that so small a
percentage inquire about the hair.
Its bad arrangement can spoil face,
it's good arrangement make plain
one attractive. When people emerged
from a state Of savagery, hair be-
gan to be something more than q
protective covering. In biblical times
it was a disgrace to be bald, and the
word "baldhead" was a term Of re-
proach. The ancient Britons were so
proud of their blonde flowing hair
that the worst punishment they could
devise for an unfaithful wife was to
cut off her hair. 1t is written that
Caesars most cherished privilege was
that Of wearing his laurel wreath all
the time. as he, poor man, was bald!

THE MEEK AMERICAN.

A brother editor remarks that the
average American hates to be con-
sidered small" so let's various goug-
ers and grafters rob him right and
left, from the waiter in the restaurant
who gives him the worst of his money
If he doesn't come down with tip
to the public utility which holds him
up for an increase to pay dividends
on highly-inf1ated stock. Probably in
no country in the world is there a
people with less common spunk to
stand up for their rights than in this
land of the free and home of the
brave. The king-ruled Englishman
takes much less punishment. Infringe
on his rights by hairs breadth and
he goes to the mat with anything or
anybody, says Capper's Weekly. By
this means, although Johnny Bulls
government is a monarchy, the Eng
lishman has the most responsive gov
eminent in the world and the most
efficient, prompt and just courts Of
law. The people Of this nation should
cultivate the habit Of kicking-and
voting the way they kick.

Old Roger Ascham, tutor Of the un-
happy Lady Jane Gray, wrote in his
book, "The Scholemaster" "Atd it
is pity that commonly more care is
had, yea. that among very wise men,
to find out rather a cunning man for
their horse than a cunning man for
their children. They say nay in word,
but they do so in deed. For to the
one they will gladly give a stipend Of
200 crowns by the year and are loath
to offer to the other 200 shillings. God
that stitch in heaven laugheth their
choice to scorn and rewardeth their
liberality as it should. For He suf-
fereth them to have tame and we'll
ordered horses but wild and unfor-
tunate children" We have been re-
minded of such things recently, says
Milwaukee Journal. Apparently we
haven't changed a great deal since
Rogers day, though the modern in
simple justice would have to write
that our children are less "wild and
unfortunate" than we have deserved.

HOME OPPORTUNITIES

A certaingwell known man started
as a country store-keeper. He is
still one, but he operates a chain of
stores and does 100000 of business
in year. Some one asked him what
he considered was the secret of his
business success.
ut was the faith I had in the
possibilities of this business" he re-
piled.
A great many people after they
have been in business a few years
get discouraged at their slow pro-
gress. They think if they changed
over into some other line, or went
to some other city. they would do
better. Then if they make the
change they find it takes them
about five years to get where they
were in their first location. }

EDUCATION BOARD
 WAS IN DEADLOCK

(Continued From Page One.)
 The absentee members are Attor- ney John Pullman, who isl II, and Dr. A. C. Tones, who is travelling.
 The bylaws are obscure as to the requirement. for election. Certain off, cers must be chosen by majority, which would be seven votes Expert authority says that this rule does not apply to the election of a superintend- ent, and that he may be chosen by . majority of those present and voting, assuming that a quorum is present Seven votes is a quorum.
 The deadlock existed, because if the Democratic members attempted to force a ballot the Republican mem bers had but to walk out, and the quorum would be gone and business would cease.
 Practically it takes seven members to make an election when the full board is present. for if the vote is six to six, there will be a tie, which, apparently no one would have a right to break.
 Under the conditions all the mem- bers felt that the best. thing to do was to wait for a meeting of the full board.
 The drive against Superintendent Samuel J. Slawson originated among the Republican members. Three Re- publican members of the board have been markedly hostile to him, and he has not enjoyed the appreciation of Mayor Clifford B. Wilson. nor of John T. King.

The in surance on the building was between s5G,000 and $6O,000. Ten minutes after the fire alarm was given all apparatus available was at work to hold the flames in check. As it had rained all night brands which fell over a wide area, especially on the wooden buildings of the Rock Manu- featuring Company an eighth of a mile away, did no harm.
 The Rockville Coal & Grain Com pany bought the buildings from Ed ward White in 1919. It had a con- siderable supply of grain and coal on hand.

Air Service Officials Are
 Dissatisfied

Washing ington-Brig. Gen. William Mitchell of the Army Air Service, who believes battleships can be sunk by bombs dropped from airpIanes, today forwarded to Secretary of War Weeks a report on the proposed bombing experiments to be conducted jointly by army and navy fiers against obse- lete warShipS.
 The report will indicate that air service officials are dissatisfied with the conditions of the test as set forth in the plan made public by Secretary Daniels shortly before his retirement. The feeling among army officers is that the navy proposal does not com ply fully with either the letter or the spirit of the Senate joint resolu- tion directing the Secretary of the Navy to turn over certain vessels to the, Arm Air Service for experimental purposes.
 The navy plan, it is asserted, con- templates leaving control of all con- ditionS of the test in the hands of the commander in chief of the Atlan- tic fleet and even goes so far as to specify the size of bombs to be used shall be dropped.
 The diers also complain that the plan to conduct experiments 100 miles out at sea would place army airplane. of the type now available at a tremendous disadvantage if not actually make the test impracticable. Afrplane couriers are necessary for operations at great distances from land.
 Fault also is found with that part of the navy plan which contemplates the use of Seaplanes in coast defense experiments. Under the act of June 30, 1921, it is pointed out the army air service is given the duty of pro- ! viding aerial protection for the coasts 1 of the United States and army officers
 see in the navy proposal to employ
 naval hiers for this purpose an at tempt to usury army prerogatives. | What the army wants, the report will say, is an opportunity to bomb
 a batt1eship under conditions approx
 imately as closely as possible those | of actual battle.
