The Greek Arn,y's Thrust

IF reports from Smyrna are to be credited,
the, Greek army in Asia Minor soon will
be in complete mastery of that region,
and able to bring the Turk to terms. It's
right wing, dispatches say, is crossing the ex-
tensive salt desert to the south of the Saka-
ria river and is within some eight or ten
miles of the last stronghold of the Turkish
Ion, lists, along that stream. The objec-
tive of the Greeks j. to cut off tie enemy's
retreat toward Angora, sixty miles to the
east, which is the capital of the Nationalist
administration. If the thrust succeeds, Mus
tapha Kemars star will be near it's setting.
Whatever faint of Imperialism there may
be in the Greek adventure, it's ruling motive
appears strongly idealistic. By tradition and
largely by present racial elements, the ter
ritory in dispute is Hellenic at heart. It's re-
demption from Turkish tyranny will be at
least poetic justice and will from mil
lions of lives the threat of brutal persecution.

three sizes too small, and you are laced until
you are suffocating for air, and you are
half starved because your lunch money has
gone into French millinery instead of your
stomach, you can't get enthusiastic about
whether your firm is winning or losing
But when a girl can wash her face and
comb her hair and put on substantial clothes
before she leaves home of a morning, and
forget about them until she gets back in
the evening, she will have some time and
mind to think about her work. The great
thing however, about her being sensibly
dressed is the psychological effect it will
have on her.
Not without good cause do women invari-
ably judge another woman by the way she is
dressed. They know that woman's clothes
express her, and that there is nothing else
to which their sex reacts as it does to dress.
They know from personal experience that
woman can put off or put on a mood by
changing her frock.
You could take any staid old mother in
Israel and turn her into vamp who couldn t
make her eyes behave, but putting on her
long jade ear rings and wicked green party
frOck cut V in the back and in front, and,
similarly, you can tone down any holden
and turn her into prunes and prisms miss
by decking her out in simple white muslin
with blue ribbon sash.
When a woman c-els happy she always
puts on something pretty and fluffy, and
when she is miserable and sulky she drags
out the Oldest, dowdiest gown in her closet
and makes herself still more miserable by
wearing it. Watch woman in a taiIor-made
frock See how erect and jaunty she car
ries herself, and note how the same woman
sinks and Tolls in negligee. Do you think
it is by chance that a woman in a soiled
kimono and with her hair in curl papers
quarrels like fish wife with her husband
at breakfast? She would be incapable of
saying the things she does if she had on a
pink silk and lace ball gown.
A large part Of women's backbone is
whalebone, and much of her refinement and
elegance Is silk and lace. She does things
and says things in her slovenly state that
she would be Mortified at the thought of
doing when properly girded up.
So it was inevitable that women, on whom
clothes have so potent an influence, should
be the victims of their errors in dress in
business. AS long a girl went to work
attired as If she were going to party, or
were about to ensnare a desirable sutton and
bring him to the proposing point, she con-
Quoted herself like society girl, or BRIDE
to-be, who was merely condescending to sell
few goods, or write letter or two while
she waited for her motor or the bridegroom.
But put her into the dress of a business
woman, brace her up with clothes like a
mans, and, my word for it, you are going
to see lot of hustling, competent young
business women who won't disgrace their
tailor mades.

The Idols Feet of C1au


with how the late war was lost and
won than with how future wars can be
averted, there is extraordinary interest in
the recently published opinions of the Ger
man General Hoffman touching the plumbers
and stupidities of Potsdam. It is Socialist
journal Of Berlin that quotes him "dis-
missing the heroes and hopes of the mon
archists with contemptuous depreciation"
Ludendorff hitherto held up as master of
iron-thewed efficiency, he portrays as being
far from great; while of good old linden
: burg he says, Ellis book was enough to
make dog howl.
Time and again, according to this critic,
who was himself an actor in the massive
DRAMA the German high command erred and
floundered. The loss of the first battle of
the Marine he considers "a direct consequence
of the incompetence of the German leaders,. :"
Germans should have won both the battle
and the war, but the vacillating command
fooled about the partial actions and could
not make up its mind to a decisive stroke.
Even in 1918, when General Hoffman sent
Ludendorf from the east 100000 men who
really wanted to fight, decisive blow was
not attempted. The campaign against Italy
was insufficiently prepared; otherwise the
Central Empires would certainly have reach
% the line Venice-Genoa. If in 1914 two
more army corps had at once been thrown
across to Russia the Germans would have
been in Warsaw in a very short time, and
been able to use all the Russian war stores
for themselves"
Ludendorff is no wizard and Hindenburg no
demi-god in Hoffman's eyes, but Falkenhayn
Is "the worst criminal of the war'-because,
it would seem, he befuddled the negotiations
at Brest-Litovsk "by promising Bulgaria the
Dobrudja and bits of Serbia, whereas the
others wanted peace without annexations.
There was an unconscionable deal of lying at
Brest-LitoVsk, if we are to credit General
Hoffman. Kuehlmann, Czernin and other
eminent compatriots of his 'lied, as the For
eign Office had lied continually for twenty
five years. Something of this sort has been
suspected by the outside world ever since a
trusted diplomatist of the Kaiser's described
a solemn treaty as ''scrap of paper" but it
is peculiarly interesting to hear high per-
sonage of the old Potsdam regime itself talk
ing to that same effect.
More and more do the hustle and glitter
that made militarism once appear romantic
turn taWdry and desplcable as the pitiless
light of history grows upon them. Fortu-
nate it is for the German rank and file that
the facts are coming starkly home from the
criticisms and confessions of these erstwhile
heroes. Ludendorff has written a book, Hin
denburg has written L book, Hoffman is being
interviewed, and scores of others from Odin S
scattered court are freely gossiping, so that
there should be little difficulty for any plain,
sagacious son of the Fatherland in arriving
at the somewhat bitter but none the less
wholesome truth

Songs From, Southern Soil

"HERE are songs to be found in the
South this year, and last year there
were none. This is the discovery of
comedian from Broadway, who, curiously
enough, comes South every year, song-hunt-
ing. You would think he could find better
what he needed in Tin Pan Alley, near Times
square-that section of New York where jazz
is manufactured just as ladies ready-to-
wear is on Sixth avenue. But this man who
blacks his face and sings in musical comedy
says it isn't the syncopated stuff of the pro-.
fessional song writer's that really "gets"
Broadway; it is, on the other hand, snatches
of folk lore songs from the South, music
with a meaning instead of mere Tilt and
movement, that is most certain of applause.
And so this comedian from musical comedy
his name is Al Herman-gOes sOng-hunt-
ing in the South every summer to prepare
for the theatrical season during the fall and
winter in New York.
81 got many new things this time" he
said recently on his return from the quest
after songs of the fields, of little cabins on
the edge of cotton patches, of city streets,
like own Decatur street. But last year"
he added, "there no music. The Ne
groes then seemed to have stopped singing
their own songs and to have turned to cheap
jazz. l think that was because there was
more money jingling in their pockets than
ever before Silk shirts took the place of
cotton ones and talking machine music of
their own songs. But things have switched
again. In Georgia, Louisiana and Mssis
sippi, the States where the real Negro folk
lore music is to be found, l got many fine
fragments that will surprise and please New
York. You see, this music from the South
has background, it comes from the soil, it
is real, it is a part of the lives of a simple
naive people; and Broadway sophisticated
as it is supposed to be, senses that and likes
such songs. They make jazz seem as cheap
as 1t is

REFLECTIONS OF A
BACHELOR GIRL
By Helen Rowland


My son, are thou "'gooseberry in the
ballroom and flivver amongst flappers and
debutantes?
Do the comely damsels say $50 sorry!"
when thou invitest them to dance, and is
the belle mot at home" when thou call
est? \
Do chaperones trust thee, and do ma
irons invite thee unto dinner only as d
"filler-in?"
Then, harken unto my counsel, and be
not cast down.
1 charge thee, spend not thy days in
the vain pursuit of the unattainable. Waste
not thy substance upon taxicabs and opera
seats and winter roses at twenty shekels 4
dozen. Let not thy pride be humbled and
thy spirit broken by the Cuties and the
Scorners of Broadway
For the city is full of Women-charmers,
and what chance hath an "also-ran''
amongst winners?
But, if thou wilt save thy moneys and
conceal thy vanity, until the coming of the
summer season, THEN canst thou blossom
forth as an Apollo and a Don Juan, and
thou shalt have no rivals.
Lo, when the damsels gather together by
the sad sea waves, l charge thee, go thou
amongst them and purchase myself pair
of white flannel trousers, and shirt of
all-silk, and a pair of white canvas shoes.
Let thy locks grow long and luxurant,
until they flutter in the wind. For with a
spotted cravat beneath his chin and plenty
of hair above his forehead, ANY mans face
lOoketh fascinating to a damsel at a sum-
mer resort.

SMILE A WHILE

Comparing prices of leather and shoes, we
suspect a skin game.
Now that dollar is worth money it doesn't
care to visit poor man.
The cheapest vacation is to don bathing
suit and be photographed at home.
The best South American trade to get is in
the south of North America.
When tobacco is prohibited, men will sneak
home with cabbage the hip.
Only hens should lay around.
Sin never strikes for higher wages.
We predict an early fall-for some politi
cians
Germany gets on her feet while we get on
our ear.
The road to Russias heart seems to be
through the stomach.
Some wives sweep the house with a glance
and go to the movies.

H. Cleveland Coke, former American Vice
Consul General in Paris, reports that there
are about three hundred American dough-
boys languishing in French civil prisons for
various attractions of the laws of the land,
and calls on President Harding to negotiate
some amelioration of their condition or their
transfer to the United States
Judging by his expeditions handling of the
affair of the Russian prisoners, this should
be easy for Secretary Hughes. Why not de-
n-and their instant release under penalty of
the displeasure of the State Department?
Russia needs food, it is true, and was, there
| fore, bound to be conciliatory; but France
owes us money and needs our influence. In
dealing with Russia Mr.. Hughes was at dis
advantage on accoun tot the lack of diplo-
matte relations; in dealing with France he
! has every facility at his command.
| Mr.. Coke is not interested in why the
American doughboys are in Jail in France
| any more than Mr. Hughes was in what
| Americans might have done to get themselves
| into Jail in Russia. He simply "can not con-
| ceive of anything more horrible. Our boys
in far Ian, surrounded by foreigners who
| do not speak their language" is enough for
him. 1t was enough for the American gov
| eminent when Russia was under consdera-
| ton.
The truth is that Americans in Jail, wheth-
er in one country or another, IRE likely to
| have deserved incarceration. Mr.. Hughes set
a doubtful precedent by asking a general
amnesty without Observation-Disclosures York

Island Luck

Orkney and Shetland Islands were trans
ferred from the Danish to the Scottish crown
under curious circumstances, remarks the
London Daily Express. When Margaret of
Denmark married James III, her father
agreed to give dowry of 600 forms, TO-,
600 down and the remainder by installments,
Orkney being handed over as a pledge. King
Christian /, however, could scrape up only
1000 forms, and so was driven to transfer
Shetland to his son-in-aw in lieu of the bal
ance of 5000 forms payable on the wedding
day.
Lord Savason, a Scottish judge main
tains that the right of redemption still ex-
lists, and that Scotland should have to give
up Orkney and Shetland if the debt were
paid. 1t would be a costly transaction, for
the islands were pledged in 1863. Nearly
500 years interest would thus have to be
added to the sum which Christian 1 was in
default.

PlJP|L. ORCHESTRA
 IN FINE PROGRAM

The concert given on last Sunday afternoon at the Tempe Normal au- ditorium by Frank Lloyd Stuchal and his student orchestra goes to prove that there is plenty of talent here in the valley as to leadership and play CTS for very good orchestra Both MT. Stucha1 and his payers have cause to feel proud of their efforts, for every number from first to last was played almost note perfect and their shading for so young an organ ization was exceedingly good. Their tonal work in such numbers as The Prayer from Stradella and La Reve, by Golterman, were of a splendid class. and their work in "Forget-Me- Not" by Macbeth, was light and dainty, and the Waltz" by Severn, was given with a fine sense of waltz rhythm.
 Miss Anna Marie Luke. one of our best local singers from the younger group, was soloist and gave Little Mother of Mine" with such finesse that she received several recalls for an encore. The orchestra accompa- niment to the soloist was in splendid harmony with the singer and well done.
 Alma I.owery. a little reader, gave i a very suitable reading which was given with a quaint sympathy and understanding for one so young
 It is to be regretted that there is rot more of this kind of work done
 for of all vehicles of musical ex-
 pression the orchestra is given first | place, and MT. Stuchal and his play CTS should be given all the encour- agement necessary to make a suc- l cess.

ROCK DRAWS SHIPS TO DOOM

The most dreaded and dangerous rock in the world is probably the lonely islet of Rockan. which IS farther from the mainland than any other rock of its size- Like a dark iceberg it rises out of the sea 260 miles from the north of Ireland and 290 miles from the Scottish main land. It is of granite. conical in shape.
 Rockan possesses highly magnetic properties which often seriously af- feet ships compasses. There Is ab- olutely TO hope of rescue for the crew of any vessel unfortunate enough to run upon it, for the waves wash over it's summit. and even in fair weather the swell makes 1t h. accessible. Many ships have crashed into Rockali. slid back off the iedges which surround 1t and gone down like stones. Perhaps some ships mysteriously lost have met that fate It is impossible to light the rock. for it is impossible to make a landing on it.
 Fragments of Rockan are now be- ing examined by Professor Lacroix Of Paris, who seeks to determine Its exact geological composition.-N New York Evening Post--

The golfers of the valley will be interested in Walter Scott, the new pro" at the San Marcos links. Chandler. who is to be Harry Collis's assistant this winter.
 As the golfing world knows, golf had its birth in Scotland. and the hub of the game Is the St. Andrews links.

 He says modestly his speciality is teaching rather than playing. Still at that-and we know we risk his displeasure in mentioning it-he took one club from his bag the day of his
 arrival and played the first nine holes in 39. Incidentally it may be mentioned that 39 was the lowest score made for the nine at the southwestern championship last spring. Thirty seven is the record for the links.
