of these modern girls whose lips bloom like
gorgeous poppies. Moreover, 1t does not
require physician to comprehend that
cold cream, or some compound of the
apothecary resembling cold cream, adj

keeps them soft, unroughened and helps
materially in preserving the texture of
the skin. The cream is, l believe, usually
perfumed rather delicately, and certainly
this cannot be, in woman, regarded as
a vice.
We have plenty of nice girls in England
who redden their lips. 1t is not peculiarly
an American custom, nor French. 1t is an
attractive tendency of women the world
over, and more power to them, l repeat.
Also we are not unfamiliar with young
ladies of excellent family and social posi-
tion who have removed a cubit or so from
the length of their tresses.
The ladies tell me that bobbed hair is
wonderful convenience; that it emanci-
pates them from the tyranny of the hair
dresser, saves them expense, gives them
leisure for more important matters, and
generally adds to their comfort and peace
of mint. What business ia it of men If the
dear creatures desire to shorten their
names?
Considers Word Limbs
Just Trife Vulgar
We approach with all possible delicacy
the consideration Of legs. l do not say
limbs mind you. There is something about
the word limbs" that strikes me as
trihe vulgar. 1t belongs to the category of
words happily disappearing which were en-
ployed in a rather stupid effort to conceal
the fact that God made human beings in a
certain way, but which actually served to
call attention to the very features or ~
tributes it was desired to hide.
submit that legs are legs. 1t is not i'm
moral to possess pair of them. They are
useful for walking about, for getting from
place to place. We could scarcely do with
out them, as matter of fact. Nor is il
sinful, to my mind, If legs happen to be
gracefully modelled. When on earth has
beauty been a crime among intelligent per
sons? Why should glimpse of well
turned calf, surely one of the most attrac-
tive Of sights, be regarded as an offense
against society and almost reason to sum-
mon a constable?
1t is among the puzzles that to me are
insoluble Therefore, maintain that the
modern girl in shortening her skirts is
quite within her rights, is further emanci-
pating herself from the inconvenient habits
of the Victorian era and is distinctly add
ing to the charm of fife l cannot see that
she convicts herself of immodesty by ex'
posing few extra inches OF the leg.
Girls are Just as nice to-day as ever
they were in any period of the worlds
hstory-just as modest-and a blessed
sight more sensible: more able to take
care of themselves. It's asinine to go
along on the assumption that women
don't know anything. that they are giddy
innocents. The girls of Victoria's time
knew about all there was to know,

1t has always been so. If we drift back

esting era of which Mr.. Wells writes so
entertainingly, the period when the Gro
Magnon people lived, we find that the ladies
strove to please then, even as they strive
to please now.
Husbands and lovers had not yet de-
veloped those little refinements Of manner
which modern women crave as they crave
flowers and jewels (and a great deal more

menfolk of that dim day were a bit too

SURE WAY TO GET
RID OF BLACKHEADS

There is one simple, safe and sure
way that never fails TO get rid Of
blackheads. that is to dissolve them.
To do this get two ounces OF Gallo
mite powder from n drug store
sprinkle a little on a hot. wet spongs
rub over the blackheads briskly-
wash the parts and you will be sur
prised how the ~blackheads e. dis.
appeared. Big blackheads. little
olackheads. no matter where they
are. simply dissolve and disappear,
leaving the parts without u mark
whatever. Blackheads are simply a
mixture of dust and dirt and secre-
tons from the body that form in the
pores Of the skin pinching and

large pores and do rot get them out
after they become hard. The calonite

The SLIDER Lining

BUSINESS BOOM is impending. The govern
% ment insists that the nation is rapidly ap.
preaching n condition where domestic needs will
bring about a great demand that must he adequate
ly met. This constitutes the controlling influence
toward the settlement of ir dustrial inactivity on the
part of workers. To meet this promised demand,
manufacturing plants and industries of all kinds
must be kept running, and to be kept running they
must have coal and transportation. This fact will
bring an end to all major industrial disagreements
at a very early date.
The boom itself is of course being brought about
by the return to more normal conditions, the econ
omy of the government in handling its business, the
rise in the value OF bonds as the people become more
confident in the administration, the disposition on
the part of European countries to get down to bust
ness and settle their financial difficulties, having
learned that the administration under Harding will
not stand for cancellation, the immigration law
which keeps out the flood of cheap European labor,
the protective tariff policy which once more hovers
in the ofing, and a score or more of other legisla-
tive measures which have been written into law by
the Republican party.
The Democrats, who have been standing idly by
and c~huckling at the thought of political advantage
to be reaped from industrial tie.ups, have suddenly
awakened to the fact that the pendulum has started
the other way and that they have lost q great deal
of valuable time dreaming dreams and abusing the

Indicating PROSPERITY

FAVORABLE are found in n survey of
Il basic industries and of trade and finance in the
country west of the Missouri river, despite the re-
straint imposed by the rail strike and the uncer-
tainty of next winters fuel supply due to the pro
l~ongation of the strike of coal miners. Abundant
crops of all kinds are flowing into the markets and
bringing good returns to farmers, gardeners and or
.chardists. Live stock is in excellent condition with
food in plenty anu selling at prices which yield to
growers and feeders a fair margin of profit over
and above the investment of money and labor. There
is a continued heavy flow of crude oil from wells in
all fields and refinery operations show a high per-
centage of activity, though prices of both crude oil
and refined products have recently declined. Metal
mining operations have increased, with ore prices
well above those prevailing last year. Meat pack
ing and -four milling continue in heavy volume.
Some results of the rail strike are seen in a reduc
ton of wheat receipts at market centers, though the
greater part of the decrease from last years alb
normally heavy marketing is attributed to car
shortage and TO the new system of cooperative mar
keting which is designed to promote a steadier
movement of grain through market channels. Some
interruption of deliveries of goods from manufac-
turers to wholesalers and from wholesalers to re-
tailers are reported as affecting both manufactur-
ing and trade; but, considered as a whole, the trade
situation at this time is good and underlying con
.ditions in practically all lines better than for many
months.

Doing More Than Her Share

THERE is of a renewed drive by
l. European influences to persuade the United
States to enter into socalled economic conferences
with European nations. 1t is again being asserted
that the future of Europe depends upon receiving
help from the United States. 1t is again being
adopting a very selfish attitude. It is again being
unless she gives literally of her means to revive
business and industry in Europe and elsewhere in
the world.
Without going into a discussion of the many
efforts of Europe to inveigle the United States into
political entanglements and have her become a par
tisan in all of the European political quarrels, it
is instructive 10 set down in cold figures Just what
the United States has done and is doing to assist
Europe.
Leaving out of the question the amount of money
the United States government, as a government.
loaned to European governments during the war, it
may interest the taxpayers of the country to know
that after the armistice was signed when there was
no longer any need for "war loans being made to
any European country, this nation advanced to the
several nations of Europe the total sum of SIS
626,475. This includes no money advanced by this
government to any nation TO help prosecute the
war. 1t was all loaned to other nations after the
signature of the armistice, some of it being loaned
as late as January, 1921. OF this sum, Belgium re
ceived in round numbers $30,0o0,00o France, $407,-
100000; Poland, 36,00Oy0 900, and other smaller
nations smaller amounts.
There is continual talk in some circles about the
duty the United States owes to the new, small ma
lions of Europe which were created at the Paris
peace conference and started on their uncertain
ways. The records show that the United States is
probably the only nation in the world that is really
helping any of these new nations.
1t is therefore interesting TO know that Esthonia,
