Beauty Not Skin Deep

What will be the future state 9f man? What will he do? How will he act? How will he look? Richard L. Garner answers these questions in his article, Man, As He Will Be" in the Forum. But here is where the inter est of the woman is sharpened:
 Beauty? That has been the ambi- ton of woman from time immemorial, and she has not even tried to conceal it from herself or the world. And the truth of the matter is that the vanity of the male sex has been even more inordinate than that of the female, as we find this desire expressed in the feathers of cock birds and the pelage of other animals, and not by any means obscure in the male human being.
 'The secret of beauty is to be found in the mind. Every human face and figure is merely the physical confor- nation of the mind which directs 1t. and the same Is true of lower ami mals. It always has been my belief that if few children could be isolated from contact with the masses, and their environments made so perfectly and consistently beautiful that no dis cord or lack of harmony should ever address itself to the minds of these children, that their health should TO- main good, that kindness, gentleness and the utmost refinement alone should influence their lives, then such children would improve in beauty as much as they would in moral culture. In one or two or ten generations the end would not be accomplished, nor even in a thousand, but tho direction would be plainly indicated"

Renewing Tungsten Lamps

A new western firm has succeeded
 in making commercially practicable the renewing of tungsten electric lamps. after they have been burned out in use, says Frank B. Howe, in an Illustrated article in the Popular Me- chanics Magazine.
 The old globes are first put through a special glass-cleaning bath. in tub washer Then they are warmed in a flame stand, so that sudden heat will not cause them to explode and the tip is broken off.
 Another special washing bath is then used to remove the deposit in- side the lamp that is characteristic of burned out globes. Following this, the lamp goes to the "lacing table, where girls, working through the reamed hole in the end of the lamp. clip the terminal wires and remove all the old tungsten wire from the little hooks. New-drawn wire is then laced around the old hooks and clamped. After this rather delicate operation has been completed, an acid which absorbs any old gas that may be left in the lamp is placed on the leading-in wire and the lamp is ready to be sealed up again. The lamp firally goes to a testing table, where current is passed through 1t. at a voltage slowly increasing from zero to 110. It is now completely restored

CANADIAN BORDER
 WHISKY SLEUTHS
 SHOW VIGILANCE
Traffic By May l Will Be Re- duCed to Hip-Pocket and SatCheI Contingent of
 BootIegging Species
By Associated Press

Burlington, Vt, April 2S-Smuggling of whisky across the Canadian border into Vermont will be virtually restricted after May 1 to the small supply that may trickle in through satchels, bootlegs and hip-pockets, in the opinion of prohibition agents here.
 On that date a Dominion law limiting each purchase of whisky to a single quart becomes effective. While beers and wines flow freely nrth of the line, United States officers fo not anticipate any flood on this side, because profits in these light liquors are too small to tempt the rum runners.
 Recent seizures have indicated con- certed effort to rush large stocks of whisky into the state before the Canadian one-quart limit is enforced. Automobile traffic, formerly the principal under ground source, is less used nowadays, but now and then a loaded car is caught slipping with muffled motor along the by-paths of the border. Scores of ma chimes have been abandoned recently by parties that were checked by vigilant guards.
 Most of the shipments, however, have been made by freight car in recent months. False sides had been built into lumber cars and whisky in large quan- titles concealed in the skilfully con- structed bins. Spirits have come across the line also hidden in hay, grain, potatoes and shipments of @ similar nature Some have fallen into the reve- nue officers hands before leaving the railway tracks.
 Capture of liquor cached in freight cars, however, is more or less matter of luck, the enforcement agents admit, and thls is the chief reason for the use of this means of smuggling by the men who thereby avoid risk of their persons or automobiles.

who gave themselves for their country

pledged it's all. 1t is 4 day when, turn
ing from this fresh-made grave, we
face the responsibility which their

ARWISHCE DAY

Nov. II, 1921, marks the third an
niversary OF the signing of the arm
;stice which brought cessation OF hos
silities in the world war.
The actual period of warfare be-
tween the allies and central powers
was Aug. /, 1914, to Nov. II, 1918.
Under the impetus of popular ap-
oroval and through the activity of the
American Legion well defined policy
If observance of Armistice Day
throughout the country has developed
% the extent Of making it perman-
,nt institution in the nations life.
Many cities in the United States
celebrated the ending of hosti1ities
orematurely. In order that German
anvoys mighty safely pass through
The lines an order was issued to cease
firing at 8 p. m, Nov =. This was
construed by news agency to be
proof that the armistice agreement
had been signed and the erroneous
news was dispatched.
Marshal Foch received the German
anvoys at his headquarters in a rail
way car at Fcthondes at 9 a. M, Nov.
;. Only weatherbeaten signboard on
4 tree marks the spot OF the signing
ii the armisticc.
The articles Of agreement for an
armistice were signed Nov. II, at )
a. m. (F'rench time). The official an
nounccment was made at Washington
1t 2.1O a. M, Nov. II.
Matthias Erzberger, General Win
terfield, Count Won Oberndortf, Cen
era! Won Grinnel and Captain Won
Salow, were the German ENJOYS who
signed the armistice agreement.
The signing Of the agreement was
delayed while a courier, Captain He'll
iorff, returned to German head
1uarters with Marshal Foch's terms
If surrender by the central powers.
Marshal Foch, with characteristic
.erseness, presented the terms to the
German ENJOYS and required that the
German signatures be affixed within
;eventy-two hours.
In the later years of the nations
history no event in the United States
brought such spontaneous and joyful
celebration as the announcement OF
he armistice. In every city, town and
-illage demonstrations began with
astonishing spontaneity and continu-
ID throughout the day and far into
the night.
