Finger Nail Fads.

1t is no longer considered in good
taste to have the nails very highly
polished Occasionally one sees a
young woman whose nails look as III
they had been creased with olive OIL
or butter. SO highly have they peen

and the various polishing prepara-

high polish has been abandoned IL
is only the trailers of fashion VINO
make little mirrors of. their finger
nails.
No longer are nails cut and filed to
an extreme point nor are they allowed
to grow long. Perhaps the fact that
women more than ever before are en-
gaging in some useful occupation mas
had something to do with this: me
hand with extremely long and hlgniy
polished nails has always been the
hand of Incidence.
This does not mean that one may
be neglectful of the nails. They
should be trimmed and filed regularly
so that the nails extend very httle
farther than the end of the finger pad
and take an oval shape. slightly more
accumulated than the oval or the nm =

though of course all skin is cuticle-
should be kept well off the naiis
without bruising them. The nails
should not be filed or clipped off too
closely to the finger at the side. the
better manicurists no longer do this.
Very few men of taste ever had
high polish on their nails. And now
it is particularly avoided. man
wears his nails slightly shorter than
does a woman and anything that sug-
gests a pointed end is considered eff

1t would be absurd to say that all
we'll bred men are faStidious about
their finger nails A ranchman might
be every inch well bred, might be de-
scended from founders of Virginia on
one side and Mayf1ower passengers on
the other-if that constitutes being
an American aristocrat-and yet such
might be his daily work that he could
not keep his fingers in good condi ton
And, on the other hand, a pickpocket
who never did well bred thing in
his life might show finger nails i'm
maculately cared for.
But the fact remains that the man
that we call we'll bred is well tub
bed and as far as his daily work per-
mits he keeps his finger nails free
from the black ring that usually be-
tokens sloveliness and Indifference.
Remember that unless your work
makes a we'll groomed set of finger
nails impossible you will be judged
by heir condition.
Young women have a way of sizing
up men by their nails. So have a
good many men who employ large
armies of office and store workers.

withdrew his head from that branch
hall and continued on down the main
hall.
But he went very slowly. He would
take step, then stop and listen
Then he would do the same thing al
over again. He was uncomfortable
Yes, sir. Peter was uncomfortable. He
felt that he had no business in there
He knew that It WAS just curiosity
that had brought him there. He knew
that in a way he was spying But
all the time he tried to excuse him
self on the ground that he had a RICH,
to know if that house was deserted
OF course" said he to himself. I'll
find anybody at home l won't stop a
minute. I'll go right out again
That's what I'll do. go right out again
All / want is to make sure that this
house is or isn't occupied
Soon Peter was down below the lin.
where Jack Frost had frozen the
earth. 1t was warm and very COM
Portable down there-that is, it wa.
warm to Peter. You or I probably
wouldn't have called it warm. Blu,
Peter did. He liked it. He began
to hope that he would find Johnny
Chuck's bedroom empty. 1t would be
very nice to have a snug bedroom ir
weather. And it wasn't far from
the dear Old Briar Patch. Yes sir
this would be just the place for little
Mrs. Peter and himself in bitter cold
weather or during sleet and ice
storms
This idea pleased him so much that
he sat quite a while thinking it over
BY the time he started on again he
had quite made up his mind that that
house was deserted. 1t was because
he wanted it ito be so that he had
made up his mind that it was so
Some people have a way of doing
that.
And then Peter came to a little bed
room off just to one side. 1t was sc
dark down there that Peter couldn't
see thing. But if Peter couldn't use
his eyes he could use his ears and his
Wabbly little nose. He listened fol
the faintest sound Of some one breath
ing in that little bedroom, but his
ears caught no sound. 1t was as still
as if there were no living thing but
himself there. But his wabbly little
nose told him that there was some
body in that little bedroom, and il
told him who it was. 1t was Johnny
Chuck.
Peter was disappointed He was
undecided what to do. Now that he
know he should have gone straight
out. and he knew it. But that hal
went on a little farther and curiosity
urged him to find out how far it went
SO Peter finally went on. Two OF
three steps brought him to another
little bedroom. There was some one
in this also. 1t was Polly Chuck.

HOME ECONOMICS.
BY MRS. ELIZABETH KENT.
The Instinct OF Investigation.

The first aspect in a child of the
instinct of investigation, a most i'm
portant instinct, which leads to all
scientific discovery, seems to be mere
ly a desire to destroy. He wants to
tear and smash and pull down.
This, of course. cannot be permitted,
and the childs instinct is usually re-
pressed by removing the article from
his reach or by punishment. Rare and
wise are the parents who direct it
into the right channels. providing the
child from the first with things that
can be taken apart and put together
again without injury to the material
Children brought up in severely re-
stricted environment ar apt to show
it in their destructive attitude of
mind. The instinct of investigation,
instead of growing into creative ac-
tivity. has soured into mere pes
simism.
Children must have playthings that
give their curiosity. their desire to
make and unmake. some Scope-dolls
that can be dressed and undressed
horses that can be harnessed and un-
harnessed, and. above all, blocks and
constructive toys of wood and steel
such as are now happily to be had in
increasing variety.
The chief point in the Montessori
method of education is probably its
emphasis on the progressive use of
the instinct of investigation, which it
seeks steadily to develop into con-
struction and creation.
Many child who is regarded as
stupid, who has Jagged through
school. marked a failure by teacher
and parent, is merely a child who
should have been trained through his
hands: who probably, so trained.
would be a far more valuable person
than the parrot pupil who has no
trouble in initiating. in docilely Civ
ing back what those around him give
him as education.
1t is the child who lacks the de-
structive instinct. the curiosity of in
vestigating things, who is really the
stupid child, and he is so rare among
healthy children that he probably
does not exist.

KEEP PROFITS
And Reduce Wages; Song of
Big Biz"

Philadelphia In protesting against
wage cuts textile workers in this city
call attention to exorbitant profits
which permitted these employers to
accumulate vast financial reserves
during the past several years.
During the same period, " it is stat
ed, workers in the textile mills were
denied any share in the prosperity
and received wages inadequate to sup
port them in health and decency
This low level of wages has made it
impossible for the workers to lay UP
any financial reserve, and recent un-
employment has already reduced
wages to a point that broods desper.
alton and renders workers prey tC
destitution and disease.
The present depression in the tex
tile industry is a temporary transition
from unnatural initiation to norma
and prosperous business conditions
Therefore, the textile workers cal

Railroad Boosters Claimed
Too Much, Says
Spillane

Philadelphia. II Propagandists for
railroads have overplayed their hand,
writes Richard Spillane, in the Public
Ledger. Mr. Spillane is supposed to
be an authority on financial affairs.
Nothing was said by him and his kind
while the railroads propaganda flood
ed the newspapers, but now, when the
tide turns, Mr., Spillane sagely re-
marks that the thing is not working
cut as expected; there has to be a
new deal; the revenue is not what it
should be-"
The interesting portion of his story,
however, refers to the propaganda of
railroads, in their fight to secure
higher rates.
"A remarkably able piece of prop
uganda work, he declares.
The thing was overdone, particu-
larly from the Baltimore end If the
propagandists has stuck to simple
statement of plain facts they would
have served their cause better, but
they made it appear that the rail
roads had suffered greatly under gov
ernmental control, had declined from
a condition approximating perfection
to a desperate state of deerepitude,
and only by rates that would return
good profit to the investor could the
billions of capital necessary to the re
habilitation of the properties be OBJ

acting on the defensive against the
whirl Of opposition last year, are now
conducting an offensive battle.
In his message to the lawmakers,
Governor Allen "sensed" the coming

ATTACKS ON TRADE
UNIONISM
To Be Considered BY Labor
At Big Conference
This Winter
All A. F. of L. Affiliates To
Be Represented at Most
Important Session

Washington-Un instruction of
the executive council, President Com
pers has issued a call for a confer
ence of representatives of the 1O9
national and international aftiliates
of the A. F. of L., to be held in this
city, Wednesday, February %, to
consider publicity and other methods
to meet the opposition of anti-union-
lists.
The call is the result of action
taken by the executive council at its
last meeting, when President Com
pers was authorized to confer on this
subject with trade unionists and
others in sympathy with the trade
union movement On December 20
President Gompers discussed the
question with a score of men, and one
Of the recommendation included a
conference that President Gompers,
with the approval of the executive
council, now calls.
The purpose Of the conference, says
President Gompers, vii. be ito con-
slider generally the movement to un-
dermine and destroy the efforts of the
workers through the campaign for
the establishment of the non-union
shop, the movement unwarrantably
to reduce wages and to close entirely
many large industrial establishments,
and as special order Of business to
consider methods Of publicity design
ed to meet the needs Of the time, as
we'll as the means whereby such plans
as may be thought wiscst may be put
into operation.
"The situation is crucial. An un-
reasoned and unreasonable attack is
being made upon the trade union
