darling, haven't seen you for perfect
ages. where did you go this sum-
mer? ~
Attempts at Smartness.
The older boys hid their self con-
seriousness with awkward attempts at
smartness and sophistication. They
showed and shouldered each other
about. attempted wise cracks and
laughed uproariously at the other
fellows equally crude attempts. Their
hair shone with reflected light that
never was on land nor sea. Their new
clothes, faddish and smart, set awk-
wardly upon their shoulders. There
were cookie pushers and cake eaters,
bell bottomed trousers and bizarre
shirts. There was talk of football and
other sports. taG
The earnest minded minority, eager
ly bent on self improvement, wasrpres-
ent, and already determined to orr
ganiZe this, that and the other thing,
taking everything very seriously, hurt
and beWildered at the levity and in
difference of the majority-the po-
tential professional uplifters of the
future.
There was. here and there in the
crowd of youth, a man or woman of
an age which i'll accorded with the
rest of the crowd. They were there
for business Their faces were set
and determined. They are the ones
who will bring grief to the rest of
their classes, for they will set such an
| impossible example of studiousness
and endeavor as no one in his teens
will find endurable.
There were sophisticated little folks
| there, and extremely unsophisticated
| big ones There were slim, big eyed
studious children, and sparkling, vi
vacious. hilarious children. There are
students in the high school this year
whose presence there means sacrifices
and hardship for themselves and their
parents. There are others who are
there much against their will because
| their parents don't know what else to
do with them.
! The teachers circulated thru the
! mass. advising, greeting, consoling.
arranging, directing, meanwhile spot
! ting" the ones likely to be torments to
| their lives for the next ten months,
and trying to solves the hundreds of
human puzzles which were before
them.
There were elderly teachers, mid
die aged teachers, and frightened little
| new teachers. There were teachers to
whom pupils who are coming under
their care meant no more than bricks
/ mean to a mason who builds them into
| a wall-whose analysis of the charac-
! ter and potentialities of the young
/ lives is as scientific, and impersonal
as the analysis of a chemist.
There are other teachers who will
lament, before the end of the year,
the fact that they are unable to devote
all their time to each one of their
pupils.
All this is incidental to the opening
of the high school every year. 1t is
not new story-it will be repeated
every year, as often as schools open,
just as it has been repeated every year.

YOU'LL GET RID OF
BLACKHEADS SURE

. There is one simple, safe and sure way
that never falls to get rid Of blackheads,
that is to dissolve them. 80
To do this get two ounces OF caionite
powder from any drug store-sprinkle
little on n hot, wet sponge-rub over the
blackheads briskly-wash the parts and
you will be surprised how the blackheads
have disappeared Big blackheads, little
blackheads, no matter where they are
simply dissolve and disappear, leaving the
parts without any mark whatever. Black
dirt and secretions from the body That
form in the pores of the skin. Pinching
and squeezing only cause irritation, make
large pores, and do not get the black
heads out after they become hard. The
calonfte powder and the water simply dis
solve the blackheads so they wash right
out. leaving the pores free and clean and
in their natural condition. Anyone trcH-
bled with these unsightly blemishes should
certainly try this simple method.-Adv.

The Turks are menacing Smyrna,

the Greeks will be forced out of Asia
Minor entirely within another week

1t was reported from Rome that the

the frontiers o. the Asiatic territory
assigned to Greece under the treaty of
Sevres, but it is feared here that such
a military move would be impossible.
The Greek situation has been rem

It is not necessary to use a painful

with little delatone handy you can
keep the skin entirely free from these

make stiff caste with a little pow
