moral shield and buckler and lets herself
go, and does and says things that she would
be incapable of doing and saying if she
was girded up for ball. The reason that
most family quarrels at the breakfast
table is because SO n any women have made
only sketchy toilet, OF a boudo1r cap and
a wrapper, and having none of the restrain
ing influences of clothes to hold them back,
they can give rein to their tongues and
tempers. All of this is a matter of common
knowledge and common experience to Wom-
en-, and it explains why the business girl
must dress appropriately for business before
women will ever achieve any real success in
the commercial world.
To begin WITH nobody can take business
girl seriously while she is dressed at work
as if she were going to a party. If man
should come to business, or start forth to
practice his profession, in evening clothes,
we should regard him as joke. We would
never hire him if he applied for position.
We would never call upon his services If
we needed a doctor or lawyer.
And we feel exactly the same way about
} a. girl who comes to work in a fragile
| blouse, and thin silk stockings, and perched
upon two-inch heel shoes which are three
sizes too small for her. We know her real
business is misunderstanding, and there's no
| use trying to teach her the details OF her
She has no interest in anything but he1
| clothes, and she is just marking time until
she can get some man to assume her board
bill and shopping ticket.
The girl who is worth helping is the one
who has instinctively dressed her part, who
| has put on working clothes that inspire con-
fdence, and that make her look capable, and
reliable.
When you go into store it Is the glrl
with the plainly dressed hair, and the clean
| face and the flat-heeled shoes, and the tailor
| made look, that you make for if you are 60
ing to buy anything of consequence, not the
frivolous looking young thing who comes
mincing towards you on her lettering heels,
and who looks as if she had just strolled in
from an afternoon tea.
But it is the effect of her clothes on the
| girl herself that counts most. If she dresses
| like business woman she will be a business
woman, and if she dresses like society
girl she will be society girl in thought and
desires. No woman ever yet climbed the lad
der of success in georgette blouse.
The first place of wisdom that Mother
Eve gained after she ate of the tree of
knowledge was about the Importance OF
dress to a woman, and no daughter of hers

Where Ten Million, Starve

TT has been charitab1y surmised that not
even the minority of seven and forty
Congressman who voted against the
measure allotting twenty million dollars for
| the relief of famine sufferers in Russia
would have done so if they had imagined
| that their votes would be decisive Ger
tainly, no normal-hearted person, knowing
the human misery that lies dark and deep
ening over the vast Volga region, would lift
a finger to stay the mission of succor, though
the amount appropriated were hundred
| times twenty millions.
Americans of official standing who have
looked directly and carefully into the situa-
ton say that ten million people in the des-
titute areas will die of starvation before
spring unless help is vouchsafed them. Ten
million children, women and men-seven
million more than the entire population OF
Georgia! Suppose every home in Atlanta,
every home in Macon in Savannah, In Au-
gusta, in Columbus, and all other cities and
towns of this Commonwealth were famlsh-
ing to the verge of extinction; suppose ev-
cry farmstead were eking out p1ttance OF
corn with acorns and haws; suppose every
neighbor and friend and kinsmen OF ours
were doomed to death in pangs OF munger,
unless from some land of plenty and of gen
/ erous hearts came relief Multiply such
Indebtedness three times over, and you
will have something of the proportions or
the grim tragedy in Russia. The utmost that
private philanthropy, with It's present re-
| sources, can do will leave unfed more than
a million children not to count their elders
-unfed and dying
It was to be expected that the Presidents
appeal for funds to apply to this gigantic
need would be answered by Well-nlgn
unanimous Congress; nothing else Wou!o
| have been characteristic of America or III
anv wise worthy of her. The supplies thus
| to be purchased in this country and dis
tributed in the famine region by responsible
heads will alleviate terrible suffering, save
multitudes of lives, and serve, moreover, as
the best of all possible answers that a
| humane democracy could make to Boil

COLDS AND COLDS
Bv H. Addington Bruce
" HE hoary delusiOn that cold weather
in itself q canSe of Ncatchink COld,, j

IN HE hoary delusion that cold weather is
in itself a cause of catching cold' is
u hard to overcome. Again and again
we still hear people say:
81 was all right until the weather chang
D. AS the temperature dropped 1 caught a
cold That what always happens.
81 do wish I could afford to go south as
soo1 as winter comes Then I know that
should be free from the colds which winter
brings to me-
But people of such susceptibility to colds
overlook an important possibility when en-
phasizing the coincidence between cold
weather and their catching of colds. They
forget that they themselves may be the chief
factor in producing this coincidence.
Certainly it is demonstrate that even
through protracted period of extreme cold
there would be little catching of colds if
people took pains to keep themselves physi-
cally fit. Nay, it is possible to affirm even
more than this.
There is ample evidence that to the man
in good physical shape cold weather is, as
u. Leonard Hill puts it, Stimulating
friend" 1t is an enemy only to those for
one reason or another in a below par condi-
ton.
Make a study of acquaintance who tend
to catch cold with every sharp fall in the
temperature, and always you will find that
they are persons in distinctly poor health or
unwise living habits
Especially are they likely to be persons
who undereat, overeat. or eat foods that do
not really nourish them. Cold weather is
VIGOROUSLY hostile to the ger -i-starved. 1t
is equally Lostile to those who indulge in
food in such excess that their systems are
chronically congested
So, too, cold weather is likely to have a
catching of colds as it's accompaniment in
the case of those persons whom it finds I'M
duly fatigued from excuses of work or play.
Their already low vitality is unfavorably af-
fected by the sudden temperature drop, and
they then are ripe for invasion by the germs
which alone are real cold-causing agents.
The same holds true in the case of the
numerous class of people who habitually I'M
der-exercise during the winter months. Be-
cause they 44derexercise they become physi-
ca1ly SOFT and because they are physically
soft they react badly to the advent of cold
weather.
But it is .carcely reasonable to blame the
weather for the colds tley now contract.
The fault rests with themselves for neglect
Ing to conform to first principles of right
living.
Had they conformed as they should they
would have found the cold weather exhiIa-
rating to them. Under it's stimulus they
would have tn ught and acted more alertly
than usual, instead of shiveringly complain
ing and gradually becoming more and more
"out of Sorts.
Wherefore to all who are chronic cold
oatchers in cold weather I would recon-
mend:
Don't blame the weather, blame yourself.
And don't think it will suffice to become a
w-cther dodger. Make an honest effort,
with your doctors aid, to learn wherein you
are at fault

"HE argument over the appropriate

conspicuous garb The girls, on the other
hand, are strong for fluffy ruffles, and high

the doodabs by which they believe that
they enhance their charms.
They justify their elaborate toilets on the
ground that when they, are all dressed up
they have no where else to go except to
business. They have no balls, and parties,
and theaters, and receptions, and teas at
which to display their pretty clothes, as the

therefore they feel it the part of wisdom to
doll themselves UP in order to snare the

ONE SHALL PREVAIL

~ NE shall prevail there at the Conference
Where nations meet to draw the

One shall prevail, but not by eloquence,
For he is silent, as the strong ones are!
All silently he yet shall dominate
At last the strong comes into his own!
And he shall bend the will of all the great
He whom the sorrowing world calls "Ths
Unknown!
He who beneath the mold of lilied France,
Lay so long nameless mid the countless
slain,
Until his grieving country sent for him
To ease her heart-to bring him back
again!
What tho he lies forever, now, close prest
Against his mother-country's aching hearth
Yet he, who stirs not in his dreamless rest,
Shall at the Conference still play his part!
He who in all simplicity but bore
His soldiers part, is honored above Kings,
And in the parleys none can now ignore
The message that "The Unknown Soldier
brings.
With silent power at the Conference
He shall prevail, altho no word be said.
For how has he the need Of eloquence
Who is the emissary of the Dead?- 4
Ambassador of those behind the veil
The mighty army of the sacred slain,
Who would come back, come back, if he

If all their martyr blood were shed in
vain.
They would arise and roam the earth and

And very dreadful would it be to hear!-
ooh, statesmen of the world, why did we die?
Why lie we here1we who held life so
dear?"
This is the message that "The Unknown"

When a man talks of women, it is always
of his conquests; his defeats seem to strike
him speechless. We suffer, at twenty, be-
cause we take ourselves and the whole world
seriously; at thirty, because we still take
ourselves, but nobody else seriously; and
at forty, because we can take nobody, not
even ourselves seriously.
The only thing that makes man madden
than to have you refuse to taste his home
brew, is to have you taste it and admit that
it hasn't made you dizzy.
Alas! In choosing a husband, it seems
that you've always got to decide between
something tame and uninteresting, like a
goldfish, and something wild and fascinat-

that lovers promise.

was a source of anxiety to America. The
other is reinforcement of her rights and
