By MRS. MABEL FoRD-LEAkE


 At last we have what has been a long time needed, "The Furniture Publicity Bureau" which Is conduct ing wide publicity campaign for better homes.
 Lest there be no misunderstanding 1t is well to state this campaign has no selfish motive, in that no par ucular form, style or grade of fur niture, as furniture, will be adver- tsed. The entire effort will be con centrated in the idea of reselllng the American homes back to the Amer lcan people, and where the homes now exist to create an earnest, en- thusiastic desire for better homes The campaign will be purely educa- uonal, propaganda. if you please that will teach the great American public the value of an attractive home, as well as the essentials of such home With some the terms home and furniture are almost syn onymous, and with these people it stands to reason that a campaign directed toward building up thought and pride in the home must of ne- cessity mean the sale of attractive furniture and pleasing furnishings.
 The work will be carried on through the well-known channel of publicity. It will include paid ad- vertisements in newspapers and mazagines of the country, syndicated

items, articles and stories in the news columns of newspapers, pro- srammes in the women's clubs and the lecture platforms and chautau- quas, educational work to the chill dren in the public schools, and edu- cation work to the retail salesmen of furniture. Arrangements have al- ready been made to direct the book ing of and programme of the better homes extension of the Chicago Art institute, and additional lecturers and teachers in that institute will be added to carry the better homes extension to the smallest and largest towns in the country.
 Tired of Rural Work
 There is a wonderful field for de- velopment in the rural districts; here they can get some idea of what can be accomplished. It can be taken as fact that the percentage of farm people who live in surroundings which compare favorably with the surroundings of their cattle and stock is mighty small, and it may be accepted as true that one of the reasons why it has been difficult to keep the average farm child on the old home place has been due to lack of attractive home surroundings. It seems there prevails an idea that anything will do for the human live stock, but only the best is good enough for the animal stock. That this field can be developed with a result of big sales of furniture In

The urban population on the other hand was 70 per cent In 1900, 45.S per cent in 1910. and 51.4 per cent in 1920, which brings us face to face with the not far-d distant possibility of an actual food shortage. Yields per acre and production per farmer can be in creased materially. but hardly In pro portion to the extra number of city consumers that appear every year.
 Nor can we rely on the opening up of virgin territory for practically all of the useful agricultural land in the

If you're woman and out of a job, you might try being a movie vamp.
 It won't make much difference about your age, or your looks
 A movie vamp can be anywhere un- der 50, and look like anybody from Yvette Guillbert to Gloria Swanson.
 All she has to have Is a way with her
 trouble at all playing the roles. You are given a hero to win away from his wife.
 This you do by wearing less and better clothes than she does. and smiling pleasantly at him whenever you see him.
 That gives you big advantage. His wife Is always dowdy. More over. she is always cross looking.
 This Is usually because she doesn't understand him.
 He Is full of high and noble i'm pulses, while all she can think of is how to get new washwoman, and the best way of keeping the cook placated.
 A woman whose mind Is on these vulgar subjects never can guess what Is in the heart of the hero.
 The pest way 10 begin IS 10 get introduced to the hero at a lady's day at the lodge, and tell him how big and brave he is.
 They always fall for that
 Then, if his hair is curly, tell him you adore wavy hair.
 If he happens to be bald, pat him on the vacant spot and say that na- ture has given some men hair and other men brains. As far as you are concerned, you prefer the brains.
 In about week, he will be coming around to your measure shop or millinery store and asking you to go out and have dinner with him. Don't go at first. Tell him you are sorry for him, but you will both have to suffer for the mistake he made when he led the wrong woman to the altar.
 Tell him that a couple of times, and then get your hat and coat. You will be seen dining with him by his wife, who will be there with her old uncle who has just got back from India.
 You'll expect her to make scene. but she won't. In fact, you won't know she is there. But the movie fans will. for she will clutch her chest and contort her features. and her old uncle will have to give her drink to bring her to.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-10-02

If she comes around, let her have
 him.
 The next day she will come to you and plead with you to leave her
 husband, who is all she has, If she
 brings along knife or a gun, you
 had better do 1t. Sometimes vamps get snuffed out
 that way very early in the play If however, she merely sheds tears
 and asks you for the sake of her lit- tie children to lay off the vamp
 stuff, you must promise to renounce your love.
 You will not keep the promise. of course.
 You will be out to dinner with him that night, and the next and num-
 Der of other nights, while she sits
 by the fire and watches his slippers,
 which she has set out for him. all though she ought to know by this
 time that he isn't going to show up. In month or two she will begin to do a little renouncing on her own
 account. She will turn her own pie
 ture to the wall in her husbands studio--they always have studios
 and put a wreath of flowers under
 yours.
 The hero will discover this when he comes in to dress for dinner with you and try to poison himself, but he'll get the bicarbonate of soda in- stead of the bichloride of mercury, and nothing will happen to him. At the end of the year he will have spent all his money on you, and his wife's bankers will tell him that he has either got to behave himself or go out and enlist in the bread line. Then there will be a scene, in which you and he will weep in one another's arms, and promise to love each other till the bitter end. He will go home immediately after this. slip his feet into his slip pers and ask his wife how that home brew made last week is getting along.
 You will retire to your dismal lit- tie chamber and despair for a few minutes.
 Then you will go out and find an other hero to vamp. There are all ways plenty of them. It Is a very pleasant life, and pro vides you wits as sumptuous dinners as can be had since booze went out. Sometimes you get automobiles and diamond brooches also. Of course, all other women will |hate you. but that usually happens anyway, so you don't have to worry about it.

to keep herself always looking young and attractive? Perhaps not. or more husbands would buy their wives really good, beautiful mirrors for anniversary gifts, Christmas and birthday gifts.
 A large, clear, beautifully framed mirror should grace the living room bedroom. yes. and the kitchen. so that the wife may glance therein and see when her face gets shiny" and her general appearance. haggard and unkept. It is pretty good plan to see ones self constantly whether one wants to or not, for 1t makes you a vigilance committee of one to look your very best all the time.

country is now under cultivation.
 Irrespective of race or color there are 6,303.000 farmers in the United States. of which 2.354,0O0 are tenants The number of farms has increased from 5,373.o00 in 1900 to 6,363,O0o in 1910 and 6,44s,00O in 1920. Actually there has been a falling off in number of farms in most of the older states during the past 10 years. The in- crease comes from the south. where large plantations have been split up. and from the newer states of the west. where considerable acreages have been opened up by the govern ment and by irrigation projects.

troubles them; that's the shipping departments business. Indeed. as like as not, they will flash samples during the campaign of goods which their party doesn't carry in stock a. all and can't deliver.
 The queer part of it is that we, the customers. don't seem to mind. No matter how great the discrep- ancy in quality between the sample shown and the goods ultimately de- livered, we give the glib public serv- ice salesman the same old glad hand when he comes around again.

Fill e Ship With
 Fellowship, Slogan

New York, October 1.--"Fill a Ship With Fellowship"
 To this Yuletide chorus of 10,666 Northern Baptist congregations in the United States, tons of supplies, from dolls to hospital outfits, were being assembled today to be sent to Baptists in Poland, Czecho- -Slovakia, Latvia and probably France, on a Christmas ship leaving New York No vember 1. The gift-laden craft is scheduled to arrive in Europe in time for Yuletide distribution.
 The supplies are being collected in every district of the country under supervision of the American Baptist Foreign Mission society, 276 Fifth Avenue, New York city, and the Woman's American Baptist Foreign Mission society. Some of the gifts all ready have arrived at the warehouse in New York that has ben rented for the assembling point.
 Today, fellowship must stop being a word and become a concrete thing" said Dr. James H. Franklin, foreign secretary of the American Baptist Foreign Mission society. He origin ated the fellowship movement.
 Gifts of 10000 toys will be left to children, while their elders will con centrate on appropriate outfits for Baptist hospitals. orphanages and deaconesses homes, also specializing in warm, substantial winter clothing It is hoped to send 100000 cakes of soap.
