will meet all their requirements.
This is said to have resulted in the
steel manufacturers discovering that
the famous coke region" which
has always been considered INSOFAR
able from steel production, is not
so indispensable after all
The perfection of the by-product
coke oven and its general adoption
throughout the steel industry dur
ing and since the war is said to
play an important role in this new
situation. 1t is claimed that the bat
teries of by product ovens, which
are constructed at or near the steel
mills, are rapidly replacing the old
and Wasteful beehive ovens at the
coal mines, and that, with a steady
and adequate supply of coal as
sured from other fields through a
simple Encouragement of transporta-
ton facilities, absolute dependence
need no longer be placed upon the
Connellsville region mines and ovens
1t is also pointed out that while
the by-product oven is a permanent
installation and contributes many
useful products to the science and
arts, in addition to furnishing am
pie supplies of coke for the steel
works, the beehive ovens at the
mines make no such contribution
and, Furthermore, are of only a
temporary character, being aban-
doned as soon as the coal is worked
out.

his entrance into the contest for

feeling confident that the voters, in

trust, will have occasion to feel
proud of having made him their
selection at the polls.
In AUTHORIZING this newspaper to
publish his announcement, Mr.. Will
cockson said he wanted it to be
known that he was making the
race upon merit alone, believing
himself to be in every way amply
qualified to make the county the
type of official they want. He said
if he should be so fortunate as to
be elected, he promised to put forth
his very best efforts TO the end of
serving the people to their entire
satisfaction, would most heartily
appreciate the honor and wished tol
take this occasion to solicit the sup
port and influence of every voter
in the county.

FEET STANDARD OF BEAUTY.
Perfect Profile and Rounded Figure Not

What constitutes womanly beauty in
modern eyes?
Van Dongen, the Dutch painter, who,
despite the attacks on his art, main
tains his vogue fasaa foremost portrait
list in Paris. has been talking TO a fe-
male audience here on feminine beauty,
and especially the feminine beauty of
his day.
Under the second empire" he says,
1T was the perfect profile that was
looked for. and the rounded shoulder
above the bullying crinOline. Now a
woman must have legs, the long legs of

Today if you would know whether
woman is beautiful. look at her feet, and
the lines of her figure.
Ask if she looks well on horseback,
in the motor car, at the dance-and
face But by her feet you can tell
whether she is intelligent or stupid,
beautiful or ugly, loyal in love or
fiirt"
Van Dongen thinks that the modern
woman's makeup is yerltabie art.
Women" he told his audience, ARE
so clever. They know so well how to
make the most of what they possess
and what they do not They paint
themselves SO beautifully that / have

But he does not think there is any
beauty specially of today, or of yester-
day. but only modes of its expression
which are infinitely variable. The best
of our epoch is. he thinks, that women
can mix and adapt and combine. 1T
is veritablv the cocktail epoch. But
beauty itself is eternal, and the word
modern before it has no meaning,
though its appreciation may vary with
time and place"

GRAPE GRowERs PRosPER.
Wine Grape Crop of California Valued
at $4,000. 900.

Prohibition has made the wine grape
crop in this country more valuable than
it ever was, and after more than two
tun seasons of prohibitions restraint
The California grape growers are fac
ing the future with most optimistic
feelings Just how the California wine
grape. which was never priced as highly
rs the table or raisin grape. was raised
% its present eminence and how prohi-
bitiOn has been failure as far as wine
is concerned is shown by r. NJ. Shee
han, president of the California Grape
Growers exchange, in a recent issue of
the California Grape Grower.
The wine grape has risen to a much
higher value than either the table or
raisin variety and the same tonnage of
grapes is going into wine as of yore.
but the homes have become the factories
n which the wine is made, prohibition
having served not to curtail the guam
tity of beverage wine consumed, but
merely to change the channel of distri-
button. according TO Mr.. Sheehan.
Almost everybody knows that, left to
itself, the juice of the grape will become
wine Nature takes care of that. This
is true of any grapes, wine, table or
raisin varieties. Before prohibition, the
wine grape supply of the country was
purchased and made into wine by the
wineries exclusively. Now compara-
lively little wine is being made i'll win
cries. but in thousands of homes is be-
ing made what the government permits
TO be called grape juice and which in
reality is wine" says Mr.. Sheehan.
1t is impossible to prevent the con-
sumner from purchasing the necessary
raw material. the wine grapes them
selves. on the score that that material
may be converted into a drink of alco-
holic content. The same objection
might as easily be leyeled at dozens of
other commodities. among them raisins,
table grapes, all fruits, including
oranges, corn, melons, dried prunes, as
paragus. These and many other things
may be converted into liquids whose al
coholic content is 10 to 30 times as
strong as that allowed by law. The
wine grape alone, therefore, the writer
concludes, cannot possibly be singled
out, and its sale and distribution pre-
vented while other fruits and cereals
ire not Disseminated against.
sThe public" says Mr.. Sheehan, lis
consuming just as much wine as ever,
and as prohibition was meant to stop
the use of alcoholic liquor the expert
ment has been failure, so far as wine
il concerned. 1t has merely given the
consumer a little more trouble than be
fore, but he has overcome the difficulty
# acquiring his wine with his meals,
and the futility of strictly enforcing
prohibition is evident and apparent ev-

MAY i'm Vermont.

Just take an apple tree that leans
A little toward the sun,
And have it have a twisty trunk
And limbs that spread and run;
And lots of branches there and here,
And twigs in thick array,
And then jest have the time of year
Along around in May.
And then get up good. warm rain,
And then a sunny week,
And when. by Col you see that tree
Perhaps your voice can speak;
Perhaps it can't. perhaps you'll look,
Perhaps you'll turn away,
And go and get a picture book
And wish that 'twasn't May.
But guess not I guess you'll stand
And let your fluttering eyes
Alight on that there apple tree,
Like two big butterflies;
You'll thank, great goodness, further
more, -
You amt a city jay
A-living on the eighteenth floor
The nineteenth day of May.
Such lovely loads of blessed bloom,
That pink amongst the white!
4 chandelier of trees like that
Would light the world at night;
'Twould dim the silver on the moon
And make the stars look gray
I'd move to Europe pretty soon
If 'twan't, by Georgei for May.
Don't bring me round no earthen pots
Or dooryard dabs of bloom,
I want an apple tree that's out
To give my eyesight room;
No city orchid shops for me
It's simply children's play,
| want a wholesouled apple tree
Along around in May.
