SPINNING WHEEL
FLAPPER CURE,
AYERS EXPERT
Jane Teller Tells How to Re-
vive Interest in Household
Industries.
By Cosmopolitan News Service.


NEW YORK, May 29.--Push the
victrola in the corner and make room
for the spinning wheel, and you'n
find you have a home where once
you only had an apartment.
Seat, your flapper daughter at the
spindle, and discover that her feet
can do something besides jazz.
Surround your womenfolk with
spindles and watch them shed their
cigarette holders, movie manias. and
nerves"
Then proudly toast your toes in
your new home, and know you are
master of a regular old-fashioned
American household.
This is the advice Jane Teller
president of the Society for the Re
viVal Of Household Industries and
Domestic Arts, would give the fran
tic "man, the MASTER" whose wife
fairly lives in the motion picture
theater, and whose daughter gives
up body and soul to petting and Gig
arctic smoking.
Spinning should substitute smok-
ing" Miss Teller said today at her
mansion on East Sixty-flrst street
overlooking the East river. "Ameri.
can apartments are not real homes,
because they lack the old household
industries that kept the women at
home and gave a coziness TO life
there. Our women and girls haven't
enough to do. They stand about and
become nervous. Nerves drives
them 10 cigarettes, loose morals and
all methods Of wasting time. With
their hands busily attending to the
splicing OF wool or flax. the fingers
would have no room for cigarettes.
Miss Teller doesn't mean by this
that the women should be kept work-
ing. Spinning is a pastime, pleas
ure, not labor. She says that spin
ming is the best cure in the world
for nervous troubles. In fact. it was
spinning that kept our revolutionary
mothers sane, she ventures. In
these days when the women did the
weaving, the tailoring and the candle
making, an insane woman was rarely
seen. In late statistics the good old
Pilgrim State of Massachusetts show
ed an amazing increase of its num-
Der of insane women. Spinning
steadies the nerves, Miss Teller SAYS,
and takes the mind off of troubles
Members of the society say the
gentle art Of spinning is their
most delightful entertainment. AT
ter coming home from a days
work in an office, they claim that
they can rest by sitting at their
wheel and spinning for an hour
or two. Mothers say they rest
themselves, spin thread for their
children's clothes, and make several
dollars a day out Of their wheels.
Flappers. along with "shut-ins'
in hospitals. sanitariums, old peo-
pies homes, asylums, reformatories.
prisons and homes for the blind.
deaf and dumb, can be reduced to
harmlessness through a treatment
in this revolutionary art. Miss
Teller. who gives instructions in
all the domestic arts, says she has
had women come to her who were
complete nervous breakdowns and
go away new women" after learn
ing spinning.
A girl could spin in three days
and weave in two days an all.wool
dress, which would cost her $50,
it Is stated.
This is a way back to a sturdi-
ness Of character, sublime in
dependence, and a real heart hap
piness, which is the most notable
lack of the men and women of to-
day" Miss Teller says.

ALL MEN LIKE
FRESH LINENS,
ASSERTS ARTIST
New York Designer Gives Rules
for Attracting Favorable
Attention in Dress.
BY JULIA MCCARTHY.
Cosmopolitan News Service.


NEW YORK, May 29.-Look at
his necktie!
A new rule this. for plumbing
the tastes and temperament OF the
man you dress to please.
Some women dress TO please wom-
en-. some to attract men and some
to make other women Jealous. But
no matter whom you are trying to
satisfy it is sometimes as well to
know how to please a mau-in
Case--
From a ellknown artist and de.
signer we have found out just the
points in feminine dress to please
all men and just which ones charm
some men.
All men like:
Clean. crisp linens-such az fresh,
frilly blouses or starchy collar and
cuff sets.
Most men are caught nv ex.
tremes OF style. Whether or not
the novel and the bizarre make II
lasting appeal depends on the nan.
The more cultivated the man YOI
strive to please. the quicker be will
notice flaw in your taste or n
lack OF good grooming.
But the dainty frill and the snug
little white cuff are "sure-f're'
methods OF pleasing the male eye.
This is because men wear linens
themselves and are able 10 appre-
Ciate the care some woman has
taken 10 make herself attractive in
this respect, says Miss Ethel Trnpha-
gen. designer and lecturer on dress.
But this is about the only general
rule for holding the rowing mascu-
line eye. For further clues TO his
taste. study your particular man,
advises Miss Traphagen, who is the
wife OF w. r. Leigh. the painter.
Smart cultivated men" she SAYS.
ARE very sensitive TO woman's
appearance. They are apt TO see a
flaw in her COstuming. or in the way
she is turned out, because they are
accustomed 10 the society of women
who have maids to care for their
skin and to brush their hair.
Such men admire exquisitely
groomed women.
They are apt TO be attracted by
neuITdllZeu NOlOTS III "Hl'l NllCS
dress themselves.
ITO study men look at their
neckties.
You can see many types II you
take a walk out on Sunday, when
the world is at leisure. The young
chap who likes the 'snappy cut
suits with high waistline and
weirdly y-shaped pocket is likely to
have az companion a girl who Is
his duplicate in style in a feminine
way.
Young girls in tams and knick
erbockers stride alongside OF youths
in soft collars, loose ties and care
less clothes.
Some men like the very femi-
nine type of girls; some are caught
by Colors, some shade OF red or
blue, for instance.
Tailored clothes cause some men
to immediate gravitate TO the girls
wearing them. These. I suppose,
are men fond of outdoor sports,
men who admire women of the
athletic sort
Then Miss Traphagen turned to
cogitate on what women like In
other women's appearances.
Anything that increases ones
self-respeCt is commendable," she
said.
women of ALI ages are particular
about the details of their get up,
great .grandmothers as much as
young girls.
"In fact, women who design
clothes are too often distracted by
details from consideration OF ef-
feet. Men artists think OF a gown
as whole; they plan for women
in general Women think OF them
selves and their needs and tastes. &"

ticularly striking at the national
guard. the organized reserves, the
reserve officers training corps
and the civilian military training
camps and so reduces the regular
establishment that the purposes Cf
the national defense act cannot be
carried out"
The air service, General H'tr.
bord said. can hardly be efficient
below Is 900 men; the cavalry and
field artillery cannot safely be dis
missed.
Perhaps the greatest apprehen.
sion is felt by those who are most
interested in the training Of the
national guard, the citizens re-
serve and the organized reserve.
Mai. Gen. George c. Richards, CHIEF
OF the Militia Bureau, is especially
worried on this score. Said he:
I'm a nutshell this is the guard
situation as II is at this moment:
Today we have the best national
guard, no matter from what point
you view II, we have ever had In
our history But when | say this
I mean the guard of this day. II
ia dical reduC tions. such as are
now advocated by so many mem
bers Of Congress prevail, cannot
say what kind OF a guard we will
have in a few months or a year
bence"

Devil" In Mine Shaft
Proves Only A
Hungry Goat

MAHANOY CITY, Pa, May
29.-While Jack Thomas, fire
boss of the Hammond mine,
was in the lower level he was
terrified to behold a specter-
like thing moving from the
manway into the gangway. He
started to run, but, mastering
his fright, turned, and casting
the rays of his lamp before
him, advanced on the appari-
ton.
Thomas thought it might be
the devil, for fiery darts came
from its eyes when the rays of
his lamp hit it and he dis
cerned horns above an elon-
gated face and long whiskers
on a chin.
Quivering but brave, the fire
boss made a dash and came up
with the creature, to find that
it was a goat. BILLY" had
fallen into a cave-in, and had
then tumbled down until he
finally dropped to the gangway,
1900 feet below the surface.
The animal was ravenous
from starvation and devoured
the contents of Thomas din
ner pail, which the miner of
fered it, barely leaving the
pail. Thomas took the goat
home for good luck and awaits
;ts claiming nv its owner.

warned that the ku klux Klan is

conviction that unless steps are immo-

activities would inevitably lead to a

first failed to regard as a dangerous

however. explaining that the tolerance
with which the klan was at first re
garded was due to the belief that it
was merely anti-Negro and not anti
anybody else. To-day the subject over
shadows all other issues in Oregon, he
said, and the consequence of the Sc

be brought to national attention.
