YOUR REAL DUTY

It's not enough to put up hands for
resolution on May Day. It's a mat
ter of educating your workmates and
their wives. Of getting them to vote for
the Cooperative Commonwealth at ev-
cry election. It's matter Of prepar-
ing your Trade Union for the impor-
tant function of industrial control in
the new order, It's matter of making
the Cooperative Movement worthy
pioneer Of the new social structure.
It's matter of training the children
in the ideas and practice Of service
and fellowship. It's matter of max
ing ourselves fitting citizens Of it. These
are the practical things to do.
And as for war-the practical
thing for you to do is simply to decide
to have nothing to do with ii hence
forth. If every May Day demonstra-
tor would decide that, there never
would be another war. The Govern
ments might declare war-but what
would be the use Of declaring war if
the peoples would not fight?
No More War, London, England.

WEDDING BELLS AT LLANO

One of the most delightful social
affairs of the Colony was the wedding
of Mr.. Henry Bell and Mrs. Ida West
at the Newllano Hotel on Sunday after
noon, May "A, at 5 pm. Both of the
contracting parties are dearly beloved
members and general favorites Of the
colonists, and have the good wishes Of
one and all for their future happiness.
Mrs. West is a recent arrival, but by
her pleasing personality succeeded in
gaining the friendship and goodwill of
everyone. With Comrade Bell it must
have been a case of love at first sight,
and no one can deny but he is display
ing excellent taste and decidedly good
judgment, and Mrs. West has gained
the affection of splendid man. Youth
ful ardor assisted in speeding up the
courtship, at which Comrade Bell dis
played wonderful proficiency.
The lobby of the hotel was decorat-
ed handsomely with a profusion of
flowers and all the Colony was present
to honor the occasion. A quartette
composed Of Mr.. and Mrs. Martin and
Mr.. and Mrs. Gaddis sang and Prof.
Martin later played the wedding march.
George Pickett acted as best man and
escorted the blushing bride to the front
and Harry Bell escorted Henry to the
side of the bride. Little Katherine
Cantrell acted as flower girl, and Mrs.
Saunders and Mrs. Rhodes acted as
brides maids. The Rev. Voyles from
Leesville performed the marriage cere-
mony. At the conclusion Of the SER
vice the happy pair was the recipient
of the congratulations Of all present.
A repast of ice cream and cake com
pleted the festive occasion. The Col
onist joins in wishing Mr.. and Mrs.
Bell the highest marital felicity.

ELECTRICITY DRIVES
LLANO INDUSTRIES NOW

The new electric plant at LIano Col
ony is now being used for power pur-
poses at the laundry and printshop.
Motors have been set in and the old
steam engine has been discarded for
power purposes at these industries.
This marks another step in the direc-
ton of prograss. The plant is being
run at present only nine hours day,
but as soon as the wiring is carried in
to the colonists' homes, the hours Of
operation will be doubled, giving an
almost continuous service.

NEW YORK-The very low sashed
gown has had an enormous run and
probably will extend quite into the
summer season. But there is a no.
ticeable tendency in the advance
models toward the natural waist line
and even rumors of the really raised
line.
However, the placing of the waist
line is really an individual matter
The secret of the thing is in knowing
oneself and ones gown.
This lovely Claire model--a grace
full combination OF chiffon, italian
lace and organdie--is sashed quite
at the natural waist line, a thing
done with an eye admirably sensi-
tive to line and balance. Another
swagger bit which is done with the
wide sash is the drape effect at the
left-the wide heavy silk Of the sash
extends below the rather indistinct
hem line.
Chiffon is used for the fashioning
of the base of the frock. Italian lace,
soft and lovely. ripples on either side
OF a front panel, extends over the
shoulders and forms a very plain and
very handsome blouse back.
An interesting color note OF the
gown, which lis otherwise black, is
the fastening of little punches Of
bright rose apples at intervals on
the corn -colored organdie panel. The
apples are handmade and give the
frOck a decidedly distinctive touch

VIM AND JOY
The Second of Six Articles on
Mnn ard Girl

m6n anu AlFlS
More than one nice girl has com
planned that she is overlooked by the
average man for "the impossible
girl of loud dress and vulgar man
ners.
And why do they do it?'
So when l came to F'lossy DIS Sec
ond question, Does the average man
like good health in a giil?1 / realized
that | had the answer at hand
The Impossible vulgar girl al
most invariably has super-abun-
dance of good health. She bubbles
over with vivacity and chatter
laughter and action To what she
calls her pep she owes her big
success with the men. even IL she
never expends her energy in the way
Of grooming.
Good health means vim, vitality
resilency and Joy.
Once upon a time ii was the fash
ion for women to faint. The early
English novelists produced their
stageist effects by placing the limp
figure of the heroine in the arms of
the handy hero. Then. surely. a
popular man must have been edu-
Gated in first aid.
Today few men would have the

a faint Today the nervous girl, the
tired girl. the dropping girl is not in
demand anywhere. She makes no
appeal to the average man.
But helplessnesss he likes. That's
different.
Helplessness indicates a lack OF
experience. Dependence makes de-
mands upon his suprior powers, and
thus contributes to his pride. His
ego is elalted pleasurably.
A young husband. in contributing
the following, nearly covers the
average mans attitude toward good
health as a feminine asset.
After four years of welded bliss
am at the end OF my patience as
well as my pocketbook. My wife
loves hospitals. She admits It. She
adores sanitarums.
"She eats as much as do and
sleeps better. But she is too. nervous

that she may remain childlees. BM
ia like to have my little family while
am young enough to chum with
my boys and girls.
Whats to be done when a wife
has resolved to remain a childless
invalid?"
Probably this letter Is not as hard
and unjust as 1t may seem to some
readers About rs per cent OF all
persons who ask for medical atten-
tion are nervous patients. They
need not be. and they would not be
IL they were only willing to be prop
erly instructed in the laws Of health.
But that is not the point here. ex-
cept as indicating that a good deal
Of sickness of women is imaginary.
The point to be made now is that
most men consider good health
necessary item OF feminine lovclinesg
while those who have studied eugen-
les and genetics make good health
an essential qualification for mar
