MEDIATION IN NEAR EAST.

Reports to the effect that Greece is inclined to accept the offer of Great Britain, France and Italy to mediate between the Greeks and the Turkish na- .ionaIs in order to avoid a war in Asia Minor need create no surprise It is to be realized that Greece does not stand In the favorable position that it did at one time with the allies and that if it decides to carry on hostilities 1t must be ready to assume the responsibilities and to bear the burden.
 , Greece doesn't want to give up it's hold upon territory in Asia Minor There would have been no thought of such a hing had it been inclined to oppose in- stead of favor the return of Constan- line. It got Constantine back and 1t has been endeavoring to retain it's hold In Asia Minor under Constantine quite The same as if it had proceeded under he guidance of venizelos. That strug- gle has not only been against the na- tionalist faction of the Turks but 1t has been without the support of the allies, and what that means has been repeat sd disclosed in it's operations Early re- suits indicated quick success, but seri- ous setbaelss have given Greece new view of the situation and it is only nat ursl that it should be inclined to accept the suggested adjustment
 It is to be supposed that there will be furnished some sort of a basis upon which the mediation will proceed. Re- gardless of whether Greece happens to be in favor with the allies just at pres ent 1t cannot be believed that the allies will be disposed to deal more leniently with the Turks than with the Greeks There is not half the reason for spank Ing Greece that there is for putting a halter on the Turks and tying them in their barrel. Those conditions which have shocked the world can be laid al the door of the Turks. They cannot and must not be forgotten. The need exists for the allies to make the near easi safe for the Armenians and no opportu. stty should be lost for rendering sucf ! service to humanity.

CONTROVERSY AS TO OUR COURT
 COSTUME.
 When the first American ambassador was sent to a foreign court the subject of his diplomatic costume was given careful attention, and from that day to President JacksoH's administration the dress informally or officially recommend ed was: "A blue coat, lined with white silk; straight standing cape embroidered with gold; buttons plain, or, if they can be had, with the artiiierists' eagle etainp- ed upon them: cuffs embroidered in the manner of the cape; white cashmere brooches. gold knee buckles, white siik stockings and gold or gilt buckles"
 On gala days the uniforms designed were more splendid with embroidery and the hat decorated with a white ostrich feather Under the strictly democratic administration of Jackson, the president recommended some changes in the diplo- nlatic dress In the fine Of cheapness and adaptation to the simplicity of our in- stftutions
 Nothing was done in the matter until the administration of Franklin Pierce, when the secretary of state, William l.. Marcy. took up the matter and reeonn- mended that our representatives should wear the simple dress. of an American
  citizen.

the NEW GENERATION

she told Mrs. Freeman of this
speech of Joan's. and said:

replied in an aggrieved voice.
II must speak to Gloria about it.

the children to feel perfectly free
to talk before me, and If they

"They are but children, Mrs.
Freeman, and it is only natural
for them to speak of the most

MRS. MILLER ASKS FOR
A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN
CHARGES AGAINST HER

Especial Correspondence TO The J0urnnll
Santa Fe, Nov. 9.-Mrs. Ruth c.
Miller. in a letter to John V. Con-
way, state superintendent of pub
lie instruction, relating to the re-
quest for her resignation, asks that
she be given an opportunity to
hear any charges the board has
to make against her and to answer
them. She states that during the
board meeting on last Saturday,
November 5, Mr.. Earl Douglass,
assistant superintendent Of public
instruction, came to her with n
request that she resign her posi-
ton as state director of vocational
education. Her reply was that "she
would take this under advisement."
She says she returned this answer
because OF the fact that her APP
pointment as state director OF in
dustrial education. which carries
with it the position of director of
vocational education, did not come
from the board but came from Mfr.
Conway as state superintendent of
public instruction. as provided in
the laws of New Mexico, and there
fore she felt that she Is responsible
to him. The board has not in
formed her of any specific charg-
es against her, either personally or
in connection with her work. But
newspaper reports linked this re-
quest for her resignation with
charges made in an audit Of the
department recently made by
Travelling Auditor A, G. Whittier.
1t seems, Mrs. Miller states. that
only common justice to her and to
the work which she has endeav-
ored to build up for the past four
years, especially since so much no.
toriety has attended this matter,
that she be given an opportunity
to hear and answer any charges
made against her from any source
whatsoever. She believes that she
can depend upon Mr.. Conway's
sense of justice and fair play to
give her this opportunity.
| Mrs. Miller states that the rec
ords In her office are open to in
spection and that she Is ready at
any time Mr. Conway may suggest
to appear before him and the
board. The cause of education re-
quiros complete, open and thor
ough investigation and Mrs. Miller
says she, for one, shall certainly
welcome it.

Knitted wear for sports cos
tunes has been gaining in popu-
larity during the past few seasons.
Time was when the sweater and
perhaps the mittens or gloves were
the only knitted sports apparel
Dame Fashion smiled upon. To-
day, however, there may be seen
in any fashionable wardrobe knit
ted frocks, suits, hose, hats and
wraps. Milady may wear an out
fit entirely made up of knitted ap-
parel if she so chooses.
Pictured here is a pretty sports
costume which may be used for
any out-of-door or motor wear. A
cape of tan angora with n stole
collar and large armholes finished
in cuffs tops a pretty sports frocl1
of brown silk jersey. The frock is
one-piece affair built on straight
lines with tan stripes trimming the
skirt and tan tassel ends finishing
the sash. A tam to match either
the frock or cape may be had to
complete the outfit.

COSMETIC GLOVES.

IT Is Just as we'll to be prepared
at this time of the year with To-
lions to combat the drying effects
of the winter winds. Most of US
suffer during the winter from
chapped hands, some of us in fact
who do a great deal of manual
labor suffer from chapped hands
both winter and summer.
In any case where the skin has
become quite dry and chapped the
best treatment to give Is to wear
what are called cosmetic gloves.
These are nothing but ordinary,
old gloves coated inside with some
special oily preparation. They
should always be worn at night,
the idea, of course, being that the
skin can be coated with cosmetic
for several hours and that the
glove, while keeping the oil in
contact with the skin, will also
keep the bed linen free from
grease stains.
To give the hands this treatment
take an old pair of leather gloves,
couple of sizes too large, turn
them inside out and cover the lin
ing with cold cream or some spe-
cial paste. Turn thom back and
put them on just before going to
bed and Immediately after you
have washed the hands with soap
and very hot water.
One we'll recommended cosmetic
glove paste is made as follows:
Refined Pine Tar. teaspoonful
Olive Oil ................1 pint
This must be heated when mixed
so that the pine tar Is blended
with the oil. 1t may he perfume,l
with a few drops of any perfumed
oil you like. This is spread over
the lining of the gloves. What re-
mains on the skin is easily washed
off the following morning.
| L. M: Hot, crude oil massaget
into bald spots will often restorf
the growth of hair, unless there Il
a very shiny surface to the skin
in which case nothing will induc'
the growth again. This oil Is much
better than lanoline for the SCALP

Nine. Keji Yajama, the 90-year-
old president of a girls school in
Toxic, Is in this country to present
to the American people what she
calls the "peace petition" signed
by 10000 women of Japan. 1t has
been said that nowhere in the
world are the women making such
strides as in Japan, and Nine. va
jana herself Is an illustration OF
the great advance that is being
made by her countrywomen.
She was the first Japanese won1-
an permitted by the japanese gov
eminent to teach and she has been
president Of the girls school for
forty years. For thirty-five years
she has been president of the y.
w. G. A. of Japan. 1t was money
presented to her by her school to
provide Injuries for her old age
which the madam decided to take
for her journey to this country.
Nine, Yajama hopes by her visit
to help cement peace between her
own country and the United States
and aid in bringing peace to the
world. Through an Interpreter,
Nine. Yajama said:
THE Japanese women's anxiety
in promoting peace shows, l think,
their warmth of feeling toward the
women of America. We are hear
ing constantly of the strained feel
Ing shown toward Americans by
the Japanese In Japan.
II have heard people say that
unfriendliness had been shown By
the Japanese in Japan to Amer
leans. but I personally have never
seen it, and have never seen any
one who could say that they knew
anything about 1t but the rumor.
We have yellow papers in Japan as
you have in America. which like
to embellish sensational news and
stir up the public to sell their pa
pers. do not believe they ex-
press the sentiments of the peo.
! pie of either country"
