Premier BRAND says that France
will disarm only when she feels Sc
cure. That is the position that every
member of the ornaments conference
probably will take. They will nos
only refuse to disarm, but will decline
to place any Limitation on their arma-
ments while their countries are
threatened from without. Since
nearly all of them still fear Germany,
it seems to be important that Ger
many should be represented in the
conference. But she probably is the
least dangerous to peace of any coun-
try in the world except the United
States.

traveller. Once a year, or oftener, he
went away and wrote letters to the
Globe from remote places Once he
went around the world. He was gone
several months. But he wrote a letter
to the Globe every working day dur
ing his absence. Howe's travel letters
were, perhaps, the papers greatest
feature. Another distinctive feature of
the old Globe was its paid reading
notices. They were so well and clev-
erly done that few who read the paper
knew whether they were reading paid
ing notice a column long for the Atchi-
son Water company which was paid
for at the regular advertising rate. 1t
was so well done and contained so
much valuable and interesting infor-
nation that ii was copied in many
newspapers and got into two or three
OF the technical trade journals. The
Globes chief weapon was gentle ridi-
Guile. It never abused anybody or
sought to cast reflection on the hon
esty or sincerity of any cause or move
ment. If the Globe didn't approve a
thing it quietly laughed it out of ex-
istence. No other newspaper in Amer
lea ever had SO great influence upon
its constituency.
The Globe still is a fine newspaper,
run along the old lines. 1t still is per-
haps the most sprightly and entertain
ing local paper in the country: It is
very prosperous and very influential.
But the old Globe is no more and its
like will not again be seen.

JERRY MUsKRAT LEARNS SOME
 THING.

JERRY MUSKRAT LEARNS SOME
 THING.
 If you think you know it all
 You are riding for a fall.
 Use your ears and use your eyes, But hold your tongue and you'll be
 wise.
 Jerry Muskrat will tell you that that is as true as true can be. Jerry knows. He found it out for himself Now he is very careful what he says about other people or what they are doing. But he wasn't so careful when his cousin. Paddy the Beaver, was building his house. No, sir, Jerry wasn't so careful then. He thought he knew more about building house than Paddy did. He was sure Of it when he watched Paddy heap up a great pile of mud right in the middle where his room ought to be, and then build a wall of sticks around it. He said as much to Peter Rabbit.
 Now, it is never safe to say any thing to Peter Rabbit that you don't care to have others know. Peter has a great deal of respect for Jerry Muskrats opinion on house building. Ou see U6 very OSI rvs snug house in the Smiling Pool. It really is a very fine house and Jerry may be excused for being proud of it. But that doesn't excuse 5erry for thinking that he knows all there is to know about house build ing. Of course, Peter told everyone he met that Paddy the Beaver was making a foolish mistake in building his house, and that Jerry Muskrat, who ought to know, said so.
 So whenever they got the chance the little people of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows would steal up to the shore of Paddy's new pond deep in the Green Forest and chucl<le as they looked out at the great pile of sticks and mud which Paddy had built for house, but in which he had forgotten to make a room. At least they supposed that he had for gotten this very important thing. He must have, for there wasn't any room. It was a great joke. They laughed a lot about it, and they lost a great deal of respect for Paddy the Beaver which they had had since he built his wonderful dam.
 Jerry and Peter sat in the moon- light talking 1t over. Paddy had stopped bringing sticks for his wall. He had dived down out of sight and

ORIENTAL EFFECTS ARE GOOD
By MARIAN HALE

NEW YORK-No Indian dancing girl can sport more colorful beads than the bejeweled ones in this French import from Franklin Simon and company.
 To be sure, the long curtain like, elongated tassels of gold and jewels have a black satin meteor skirt be- meath them in the Paris gown. but the suggestion is there just the same. The heavy band of rich gold and sapphire beaded embroidery, which encircles the bodice, is the brilliant centerpiece from which these tassels are suspended.
 The sleeves are not in the least oriental. They are indeed Parisian, being long and open from the shol- der.
 The black meteor Is lined with sapphire georgette, to match the sap phires in the embroidery. Oriental effects are very good this year, not only for evening gowns but also for afternoon gowns.
 Color is also used in street clothes. Paquin has designed the coat of cell ing-wax red cloth, banded with fox.
 A feature of this coat Is the straight, almost snug back. Fur trimmed circular sides, however, give the flare. Collar and cuffs are of the fur.
 Black hatter's plush and sphinx coIored peacock feathers are used in the smart chapeaux worn with this coat by the Franklin Simon model.

with one ounce of powdered orris root. Rub this together with very little water. Perfume with essential oils of lemon, bergamot and cloves. using about double the amount of lemon that you do of the two others.
 These two recipes produce an ab soluely white powder. And. as you see, one lacking any harmful chem icals. If you prefer flesh tints, cochineal is a coloring matter which you can be safe in using. It is not injurious.
 The kind of powder you use and the way you use it counts much one way or another. Mustn't ever scrub it in! That fairly shoves it into the pores and clogs them up. Then the skin is more shiny and in worse condition than if you didn't use any at all.
 Deal gently with your skin!
