they were, and there is every reason to believe that they will continue to be the centre of attraction, not alone to the rowing eye of the romantic Romeo, but to the members of the Purity League for the protection of feminine calves, which when we come to think about it is not so singular after all, for to those on protection bent there is plenty of shivering limb to be sorry for.

THE HORRORS OF

The horrors of too much candy, too many ,sundaes and not enogh ex- ercise is the theme of the newest Wanda Hawley picture, which, is now being produced at West Coast stu dio. Getting sloppy in appearance is the surest way to lose a. husband s love, according to this picture. And Wanda certainly looks fat and sloppy in this picture

the other four must join to make a man happy. Good nature, or a hus- band as no peace at home. Beauty, or he has no delight. Sense. or his affairs go to wreck. Breeding, or the whole world reflects on his choice"
 That's how they went abou mar riage way back in 1730. And now after all these years an years of pro gress and education and reforms and general upIift, see what we have. The other day a man married a woman BECAUSE SHE WAS A GOOD DANGER.
 He met her at a public dance and after he'd known her half an hour he decided that he'd like to jazz with her for the rest of their lives. So he asked her while the auto piano stop ped to pant, and she accepted him while she powdered her nose, and they were married the very next morning.
 It started all right, but in few days that jazz had changed to the Hesitation Waltz, with a lotta hesia- ion, and now they're suing for di- vorce. Fl

A Selfish Mother

Dear Miss Fairfax: My sweetheart and I, both aged twenty-two are dearly in love, but when he was a boy his mother made him promise he would never marry while she was alive. ~
 My sweetheart has asked me to wait for him. Will you please give me your advice. My mother says I should give him up. MARGIE.
 Your sweetheart must make his mother see that this promise cannot be kept except at the price of sllis happiness and his deepest love and respect for her. She must release him. A boy and a sentimental mother might drive a bargain like this in a moment of emotion and of wanting to feel that they belong to each other. But no sane woman can plan to hold a man to such a prom ise. It is inviting his anger and even his bitterest thoughts. For her own happiness well as yours this foolish woman must let her boy out of prison,

\ STARCH BLEACH

A STARCH BLEIASH Do you know the value of plain l>corn-starch as an aid to beauty? It is used in a great many ways, and
 one of them is as a bleach for dark
 skins, for tan, and incidentally to
 overcome extreme oiliness of the complexion. You can use either the cornstarch used for cooking or the cheaper 1umpy variety that comes for laundry purposes. Dissolve the starch with a
 little water, enough to make a paste about the consistency of cream. Wash the face with hot water and mild complexion soap. Rinse, and then when the skin is dry, use the starch paste.
 Rub this thoroughly over the com p1exion. As it is cheap and easy to | make, you can use it on the face, neck and the arms. In a very short time the paste will dry, leaving the skin dead white and feeling rather
 a powder, some of it will drop off, but this need not worry you. After about half an hour, rinse the skin | with warm water and dry If you
 are very busy it might be a good idea to put the starch on the skin and let it stay on while you go about your household duties.
 You can give yourself this treat | ment every day. However, if you find that the starch dries the skin very
 much. massage the face with cold
 cream and stop the treatment for a time. No treatment is valuable that
 dries up the skin too much Mrs. R. HI would not advise you
 to take medicines to reduce. Since you are getting fat, you must be eat ing too much. It is natural that you should grow stout this year on the same amount of food which last year Der that one o'clock tomorrow is your

BLOCK EYRE'S MOVE ,.
JUDGE HAUSE

Harrisburg, April Ex-senator Eyre
was baked in his effort to eliminate
Judge Hausc from the Chester county
bench when the Senate committee on
judicial apportionment yesterday struck
out the clause in the apportionmcnt
bill that was intended TO reduce the
number of judges. This clause was in
serted by Eyre for the apparent purpose
Of giving vent to his feeling against
Judge Hause, who Is n Democrat.
The sentiment of Chester county on
this action was reflected by delegation
of lawyers and business men who an
pcared before the committee to protest
against the proposal to eliminate Judge
Hause. They brought with them suf-
ficient proof to show that the business
Of the Chester County Courts would be
seriously affected il the number of
judges were reduced. All factions and
parties we're represented in the pro-
testing delegation, which was led BY
Colonel A. VI. Holding, prominent
member of the Chester bar. Colonel
Holding told the committee that the
people of Chester county learned with
amazement Of the Eyre amendment and
were quick to realize the detrimental
effect its adoption would have on the
courts of the county.

BILL LAYS HEAVIEST
TAX ON AUTOTRUCKS

harrisburg, Pa, April 21.-The
buchanan automobile bill amending the
registration laws Is n combination of
Senate and House bills amending pres
cnt automobile laws.
Following n joint hearing before COM
mittees of the Senate and House, nu-
merous changes were made in the meas
urc, mostly directed against the trucks
and commercial hauling vehicles. which
1t is said, are causing the most wear and
tear on the highways.
Truck interests insisted that the fees
for passengcr-cnr liccrscs be increased,
rtolSts generally objected, feel
ing they were bearing sufficient burden
OF fees for the amount of damage and
use of the roads as compared with the
trucks. The amended bill contains no
increase in passenger car fees.
Increases ranging from 30 to 200 per
cent are made in truck license fees
Trucks are divided into two classes |:
those with pneumatic tires are allowed
speed of four miles an hour more than
the solid-tircd trucks. while the license
fees are somewhat less than those to be
charged for solid tired vehicles.
I he principal changes provide for an
entire new Interpretation Of the regula-
tion of headlights. At present the rays
may not rise more than forty two inches

 What happened in the frolicksom fourteenth has already been recorded. An event that has gone unmentioned thus far, however, is the crowning 3 defensive episode of the game.

 and cut down wallop after wallop, and converted sacrifices into force outs. The entire infield and outfield sparkled, and this may be said of the Vols as well. Only two errors were chalked during the afternoon, one a boot by Croll and the other pebble by Krueger, who had been sent in to pinch hit for Kane in the ninth, but who had failed to deliver.
 Taylor led in clouting for the Barons. getting a triple and three singles out of five trips to the plate. Stewart, Emery and Gooch trailed with two each. Knaupp and Bradley did the heavy stickwork for the Vols, getting three blows each out of six times al bat. two singles and a double.
 It will probably be 1000 or 5000 years before another thriller like that is served on opening day, and Pug Allen may never have the opportunity again of tickling so many thousand fans in the pinch, when sent in at a crucial time of the game, when the umpire is crankiDg his lungs to call the game on account of darkness
 The Vols and Barons play their sec ond game at Redwood today, and then hop to Nashville to complete the series.
