What to Wear and When and Where to Wear II
individuality VS.. Originality

individuality VS.. Originality
NEW YORK, Nov. I8.
TNHE French say, with Gallo inconse-
quence, that "any fool can be
clever" and the easiest thing, to acquire
in dress is a reputation for originality.
All you have to do IS to wear your
coat inside out, or roll one leg Of your
trousers above the knee, or 60 upon the
ballroom floor in field knickers and
tennis blazer. The gulf between origi-
nality and individuality is as deep as a
well and as wide as a church door.
To be turned out with Originality"
is not smart. A mans, dress, like his
department, is bounded by fixed limits
of propriety and uniformity from which
only the underbred or the half-baked
depart. Originality makes brazen bid
for attention; individuality attracts
attention by seeming to avoid it.
The temptation to be "original" is

Going to Bed De Luxe

WHILE night clothes are in fashion,
" it can hardly be said that there
is fashion in night clothes. To most
of us, and not particularly to our
credit, they are a perfunctory pur-
chase Of habit, rather than an impor-
tant investment in comfort Many
men leave buying nightwear, as they
leave buying hosiery and underwear,
to their wives. It isn't bad idea,
either, for nobody can pull the wool,
or cotton, or linen, or whatever it may
be, over a woman's eyes. With her,
judging fabrics and needlework is
first thought, second nature and sixth
sense.

Sound Tariff Safeguards
(From the New York Herald)

Chairman Marvin OF the United
States Tariff Board tells the National
Council OF Importers and Traders
that other facts than varying produc-
tfon costs should determine the tariff
readjustments the President may
now put into effect by executive Or
der. That is right enough in certain
circumstances.
The primary object OF the protec-
tive tariff is to build up American
industries that may become capable
of sustaining themselves without a
grossly burdensome tax on American
consumers. The secondary object is
TO maintain industries that the coun-
try ought not to be without whatever
the cost. The country never should
be at the mercy of foreign producers
in respect to some essential products,
such as chemicals. weapons Of self
defense and the like.
But this ought not 20 mean Con-
gress willingness to perpetuate ex-
cessively high production costs and
therefore excessively high prices to
consumers. II the country were to
go on with tariffs made on that basis
there would be no reason why Amer
lean producers. in this, that and the
other industry should not let their
production costs Climb higher and
higher instead of trying to get them
lower and lower. There would be no
limit to the prices that could be i'm
posed on the American consumer.
They would hit the sky.

1t would seem that the country is
not blessed with enough bootleggers.
DR.. Wilbur Crafts would like to add

ture, syndicalist pamphlets and
birth-control secrets a new order

the bounds of propriety recently by

all our moral ills, censorship, and
rattles it's ghastly bones in the faces
of all radio devotees.
Let him rattle away. The reductio
absurdum of the prohibition and
censorship ideas is brought just
SO much closer, and the sooner it

where they can head in. II public
opinion has reached the point of

YOUNG MEN AND OLD.

From the Marion Star.
A successful author who at 25 has
put a best-seller on the market
AYERS that It is the old people who
run things. This in spite of the
fact that the present has been called
an age where youth takes the helm
and assumes leadership IN all i'm
portant enterprises.
There is truth in this young au-
thor's observation. The war may
seem to have been won by the sheer
strength of you; but it is to be re-
membered hat the guiding minds
in that war belonged to generals and
premiers, not one of whom was
under so. Francis Bacon has said:
"The errors of young men are the
ruin Of business; but the errors Of
aged men amount but to this, that
more might have been done, but
sooner" Where responsibility and
keen Judgment are the foremost
factors, those who have lived must
stand at the wheel.
Yet the enthusiasm and fire of
youth are essential to progress.
What young men have started old
men have finished and standardized.
The one Is a check and a stimulus
to the other. No man, because he
is young or because he is old, needs
to regret his condition. 1T is good
to compound employments of both, -
said Bacon. The world needs both
and finds each indispensable.

tion. Even though the report OF
large profits reeped by certain In

this does not weaken the defense of
the German people against the
French policy, as established by the
famine-threatening food shortage

The surplus 10000 900 inhabi-

answer is with France. So long as
the Paris government stands with

Unwilling as America and other

The situation "over there" i'm

The time for action is short, for

of western Europe and are carrying
their propaganda into its citadels.
