ENDING WHERE 1T BEGAN.


It was well known before President
Harding called tho Conference on TN
employment. and had been officially
recognized by his own Secretary OF
Labor, that "an unusual volume OF
unemployment exists" throughout the
country, and the Presidents current
announcement OF the fact ns having
been demonstrated" by the conference
raises the question whether this is the
be-all and end-all OF that great gather
lng OF industrial representatives In
washington.
II was equally well known that d.
rect measures for immediate relief
were beyond the power of the Federal
Government 20 provide. The problem
In Its emergency character was loSal
and must be attended TO wherever II
should be acute. President Harding's
present notification TO governors Of
States and mayors OF cities accord
iugly again raises the question wheth-
er this is not the conclusion OF the
whole matter.
Congress, however, had made itself
Irresponsible for the development of the
unemployed crisis In It's more acnts
forms. and the great business OF O
national conference meeting In Wash.
] ington might most pfoperly have beer
TO give attention 10 this phase OF the
subject. But II has been made non,
of the conferences busiress, it was
ruled out OF the deliberations from tn,
start, IL was partisan politics" pnt
very offensive to the, official sponsors
of the gathering, which should be non
partisan to a nicely.
The conference is therefore endlns
substantially where II began. Th,
President, after gathering the problem
up from the localities and taking Il OF
20 Washington FOR examination. Is nov
passing IL back TO the localities jus
as II was. And Congress is left ri
freely as ever 60 dawdle and do moth
ing 60 relieve industry from the crush
ing burdens OF war taxation and en-
able it 90 revive and give work TO tn
unemployed York World.

MRS. LESLIE CARTER.

After many years retirement Mrs.
Leslie Carter returns TO the stage in
the broadway production OF Somer-
act Maurham's THE Circle" which
was imported from London. Louis V.
De Foe. writing Of her triumph, said
that Mrs. Leslie Carter came back

II seems that the Titian-haired emo

does not mean. however. that Mrs.
Carter has lost faith in those sensa-

published few days ago by a New

CHEAP SKATES.

Cheap skates are men whose
idle lives ma sane results are
giving, whoSoaf and argue while
their wives attempt to earn the
living. While men OF vim and
merit chase around in high en-
deavor, cheap skates sit in the
market place and thrash stale
themes forever. They play
cheap games for cheaper stakes
in joints where skates assemble,
and talk OF toll with hoes and
ralSes will make them finch and
tremble. Cheap skates are men
who never pay unless through

ises of yesterday but show what
bunk and fudge meant. They

they mangle and bel I'd il, and

GREEN SUMMER Is INDICATED
Brilliant Hues Popular on Atlantic
City Boardwalk for All Kinds
Of Apparel.

Green I'm all Its varied hues, In
hats, frocks. sport outfits. sweaters.
scarfs and even stockings. was the
Boardwalk color recently when thou
sands revelled in gorgeouS sunshine.
Many forecast green summer"
Observant stroilers were over
whelmed with the conviction that nine
out Of every ten small women have a
prediction for large hats with lit
tie trimming or small hats with a
superabundance of decoration.
Flappers are going In for brimless
headgear, with an enthusiasm akin to
the fancy OF their big sisters for the
adaptable sailor In all its manifold
variations.
So far as appearances go, IL would
have been in gross exaggeration to
say that some OF the secretly plain
skirts contained the minimum two
yards Of fabric.
Common sense heels never were so
popular with so many OF those who
formerly regarded French heels as
the only kind possible for Boardwalk
wear. The military" heel for the
time being has displaced Its rival Of
foreign derivation and there is less
complaint about Boardwalk feet"
Hundreds OF large women. large in
stature. by adopting the waistless
frock with the linked girdle have
qualified for places in the trim" d.
vision OF their sex. A Philadelphia
asserted that Philadelphia women this
spring are manifesting a penchant for
colors quite unusual with many Of
them.
A new decree from Dame Fashions
court. superseding the shoe-color man
date for hosiery. authoritatively ex-
plains why a great many silverhaired
women are wearing stockings and
slippers to blend with their coiffure.
Meanwhile. the fancy for chains. ear
rings and other decorations threatens
to develop into craze for the en-
rchment Of the jewelry trade.
