I personally have watched two
generations of high schools girls
grow up without the advantage Of
a single school lesson on the-to
notwithstanding and important
matter Of doing up their tresses.
"Oh, that would be too much
a matter of fun" croaks an old
Nineteenth Century opinion. THE
girls would become vain over the
appearance of their hair"
That is, the girls would become
deeply interested in learning how
to take care Of their tresses, and
no school subject should be es-
pecially interesting. 1t should re-
quire grind. grit, close application
and the pain Of tedium. Algebra
is the ideal subject Of this dull,
joy-killing type. A long term in
geometry would also serve to
blight the rosebuds which natur.
ally bloom on the cheeks of happy
high school girls.
Antoinette, you have thought of
something worth while and 1 am

idea on to those who are direct

proved fatal.
Then Edgerton relieved her or

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
FOR OKLAHOMA VANGUARD
(By The Federated Press)

Oklahoma City. - Demand for q
constitutional convention to be calico
lin Oklahoma before Nov. |, 1923, was
voiced by the legislative committee Of
the Farmer-Labor League Of Recon
struction and seconded by the demand
of the Farm-Labor union in state con
vention at McAlester, Okla.
The taxation program of the league
involves abolishing the advalorem tax
and substitution of tax on the gross
receipts of corporations, similar to the
California tax statute. This can be ac-
compEshed only by constitutional
amendment. 1t is planned to distrib-
ute the tax to school districts accord
ing to population, instead of 10 coun-
Ties in proportion to their wealth.
A constitutional change will also be
in order to have an adequate
workmen's compensation law on the
Ohio plan.

AN EGYPTIAN HECIRA FROM
PROFITEERING .COMMERCIALISNI
fBz The Federated Pressl

Cleveland. Action to resist the
high cost Of living is laying the founda-
ton for a permanent cooperative move
ment in Egypt, according TO the All.
American Cooperative commission.
In 1919, when profiteering merchants
raised their prices to impossible levels,
native students began to copy the Brit
ish cooperative systems. Since that
time, the movement has spread throu-
out Egypt, and is now composed of 26
societies, with total capital of ST.
100000 and membership of more
than $4,000.
The center of this Egyptian move
ment is the pioneer store at Damietta,
which has been SO successful that ii
will pay back all borrowed capital
within three years, meanwhile provid-
ing food for the people at prices they
c an pay.
