Final Word About
Flappers

What viii the flapper of today o
like when she reaches her fortieth
birthday?
I have frequently been asked this
question, which is not an easy one to
answer. for she may look 20 years
younger than what she really is or
she may look 20 ear older than her
correct age. Therefore. I always reply
with the old adaee that "a woman is
as old as she looks" I am certain
that the chances OF her looking charm
ing at 4 % are all in her favor. and I
am quite sure hat she will be
healthier both mentally and physically
at 40 than were her predecessors of
20 years ago.
There is nothing radically wrong
with the napper OF today. She is
young. v~ivacious, buoyant and full of
high spirit; her dress may be a trifle
extreme, her manners appear a trfle
bold, but after all her life is infinitely
more healthful and conducive to physi-
a stamina than was the life of her
grandmother at her age.
Twenty years ago a girl at the flap
per age was much more conservative
than girls are today. She was rarely
seen without a chaperon, INDUCED
very little in outdoor games, compared
with the girl OF today. while maize
, up was practically a minus quantity.
At 40 she was in behavior and looks
middle aged. She was sweet and
charming but very stiff. Maybe she
looked more natural than the girl OF
today, but not prcttier.
Where tho flapper OF today Is apt
to err is in the care OF her great
heritage, a youthful skin. She does
not bestow the care on the use of
toilet preparations that she should,
She knows nothing about their com
position and apparently cares less.
with the result that tho very prepara-
tons she uses for identifying pur-
! poses will often act on her skin with
more deadly effect than VII the Hy-
ages of time.
Tho girls and women in every coun-
try on the globe are the same in their
appreciation OF personal beauty. 1
have Q e the aboriginies in Australia
and natives from the tunzies OF Ind:
anoint their skins with oil and balms
with all the care and ceremony of
"milady" in her boudoir. their dark
skins frequently having a texture both
| soft Int beautiful
The appearance OF the ffspper when
she reaches the age of 40 depends en-.
tireiy on how she safeguards h ap-
~pearance- II her yes are called the
windows OF her soul" then her skin
can surely be called its mantle"
There Is. no need for excess in the
matter OF makeup. Our American
girls arc too pretty to need any cam.
outage. Our country is so large and
our climate sc various. according &c
geographical location. that speaking OF
the American as a whole in a derma,
toiogical sense would be like speaking
of the European girl where there are
the English, the French. the italian

Control of Next Congress

Speaking Of changes and retire.
ments in h next congress, the Bos-
ton Transcript says:
Perhaps Uncle Joe Cannon Is the
best known legislator to retire this
year. This veteran statesman. who
has served lose to half n century in
the house. eight Year, as its speaker,
announced some months ago that he
would retro in favor of a younger
and a better man. Perhaps his district
will send a younger man to Washing
ton in his stead, but no member of
congress-. Republican or Democrat.
will say that It will send a better man.
Uncle Joe is beloved by his colleagues,
but they appreciate that at his ago of
Sc years, he is justified in laying down
the cares and burdens of public Office.

tional legislation will make Uncle Billy

doubt BE would prefer to see the American farm
er back where he was when the Democratic party
gave up the reins Of government, March 4, 1921.
when, because of the Democratic financial policies
and the Underwood tariff putting farm products
on the free list the American farmer was fiat
broke.
Senator Walsh belongs to a great manufacturing
state 1t depends for its prosperity upon the CON
tnued and profitable output of its industries. To
save each family of Massachusetts, $50 a year, Sen
ator Walsh would deprive the American farmer of
a profitable home market and force him back to his
economic condition of the summer of 1921 Quite Sol
Yet the same American farmer buys 40 per cent of
all the manufactured products of the country.
he is the greatest single class purchaser of tex
tile goods-and the textile industry is the greatest
industry of Massachusetts,
The American farmer is the greatest buyer of
leather goods in America, and the leather goods in
dustries of Massachusetts, rank second only TO the
textiles.
The American farmer is second only to the rail-
roads as a consumer of steel and iron products, be
ing the ultimate consumer of 30 per cent of the steel
and iron products of the country.
The American farmer is the largest consumer of
wood products-being the ultimate consumer of 46
per cent of the products of the country.
The American farmer is the largest class consum-
er Of motor yehicles-he buys 30 per cent OF the
annual output of motor vehicles and motor aces
sories-lke tires, etc. The American farmer owns
100000 motor vehicles, which according to data
given out by the automotive industries is more than
are owned by all the rest of the world outside of
the United Statesi
The American farmer consumes exclusively the
output of over 600 factories making farm nipple
ments.
All OF the employees of these tremendous indus
tries are IN turn consumers of the products Of the
textile and leather industries of Massachusetts,
When early in 1921 the American farmer was Nat
broke under the operation of the Underwood tariff
and Democratic financial policies, he was not buy
ing. As a result 100000 American working peo-
pie were walking the streets. Massachusetts had
her liberal share of these idle. What did $50 a year,
per family, mean to them then? Would they not
have cheerfuIy given it to have obtained steady en-
ployment at profitable wages?
Senator Walsh would push the American farmer
back to his condition of 1921 and the Massachusetts,
working men back to idleness in order to save $50
per year, per family. Do the workingmen of Nassa-
chusetts agree with him? isn't the prosperous
American farmer worth something to Massachu-
sets industries?

Bawls About the Benefits

pENATOR DAVID I~gnatius Walsh, Democratic
~ senator from Massachusetts, is worried because
The proposed American protective tariff bill, now
before the senate will benefit the farmer. He
charges the Republican senator's from the agricnl-
tural states with supporting the bill because it will
benefit the farmer. He further charges that the
farmer will be benefited by protective schedules
on potatoes, cereals, fresh meats, etc, because the
exclusion from the American markets of foreign
importations of these products viii enable the
American farmer to obtain a profitable price for
his products.
Z Up to date no Republican senator from any agri-
cultural state has denied Senator Walsh's stats
ment. 1t is a pretty safe prediction that none will
deny it.
The farmers, in Aroostook county, Maine, for ex-
ample, know by experience that a protective tariff
on potatoes keeps out Canadian and other imported
potatoes and by so doing makes it profitable for
them to raise potatoes.
The farmers of the spring wheat belt know that
ner they have been receiving an average of 30 cents
a bushel more for their wheat than the Canadian
farmer has been receiving.
: Growers of livestock know that the enactment of
the emergency tariff stopped the tremendous i'm
ports of "New Zealand lamb and other fresh meat
products from Australia and from South America
and guaranteed him a profitable market at home.
The American farmer knows that because of these
things, combined with other assistance in the form
of extension of credits, he is getting back on his
feet and able to count on making some progress
again.
But the prosperity of the American farmer irri
tates Senator Walsh. of Massachusetts,. In fact. IL
angers him. He denounces it as outrageous and
something which should be prevented. He ascer
fsiins with the assistance of a sharp lead pencil
that the increased prices the farmer will get by rea.

Other courses which are offered under the gener-
al classification of agriculture are: florists, fruit
growers, gardeners, orchard farm foremen, farm
managers, stock raisers stock farm foremen, poul-
try raisers, stock herders and apiarists.
In addition to training the veteran, the bureau
makes every effort to secure employment for him
after the completion of his course. The superv;s-
ors of agricultural training Of the bureau keep in
close touch with the field for agricultural employ
ment and provide opportunities months in advance
for men about to complete training in the schools.
In establishing these employment opportunities
many agencies are canvassed including the
department of agriculture, the department of
labor, the civil service commission, national
and local farm organizations, national and state
agricultural conventions, state fairs, patriotic and
other societies. A case was recently reported of one
disabled veteran who had made an excellent record
in an agricultural college who was placed with the
department of agriculture Mt a salary of between
$1,000 and $1,000 a year.
Evidence is increasing that under the rccrganiza-
tion of the rehabilitation work effected by the
Sweet law, rehabilitation is at last being placed
upon a sound economic basis.

Value of Vocational Training

FIGURES showing the increased earning power
l. of disabled veterans who have received voca.
tional training in agriculture under the veterans
bureau have just been made public and this actiy.
ity on the part of the government for the benefit
of the boys who served in the war crisis is thor
ioughiy justified.
Approximately $1,000 disabled exservice men
training in agriculture under the bureau. Fifty Der
cent of this number are receiving their training in
recognized agricultural schools and colleges
throughout the country. The remaining number

are receiving placement training on dairy farms,

are receiving placement training on dairy farms,
ranches, poultry farms and with fruit growers.
A survey of IL men who have completed their
courses shows that they are earning an average of
S49S.71 more per annum than they received prior to
their war service. They are receiving this increased
salary in spite of their disabilities.
Men training along special lines show even great
er increase of earning power. Three men who have
completed their training as dairy farm foremen are
now receiving an average of $3.50 more per year
than they were receiving prior to their war serv-
ice. Seven men, who have completed their training
as landscape gardeners, are receiving an average
of $s05 more per year than they were receiving
prior to their enlistment. Three veterans, who have
completed their training as nursery men, received
an average of $1,225 per annum prior to their en-.
listmcnt and now, in spite of their disabilities, arc
receiving an average salary Of s2,125 per annum, or
5000 more per year than they were receiving prior
to the war.
A large number of men are in training in fores-
try which is classified as an agricultural pusuit.
Six men who have completed their course in fores-
try and whose pre-war salary averaged $685. &C., are
now earning an everage salary of $1,71250, or an
increase of S945IS5 above their pre-war wage. An
