A banker sued his wife for
divorce because she spent 49,
500 a year for cosmetics.
Ii she hadn't used the cos
metics TO make herself beau
tiful he probably would have
tired of her sooner than he
did. In any event il is gem
orally the woman who loses
when marital troubles creep in.
When a man becomes bald
headed and dignifed he can
discard his aging wife and go
out and pick up a chicken"
one who does not require cos
meties TO put the bloom on her
rounded cheeks.
But not so the woman. When
age oyertakes her she must
travel along with others who
have passed the meridian Of
life. There are no bucks avail
able for the woman who has
lost her charm.

We make rapid strides in
this country, and as soon as
one stride is completed we start
off on another.
A year or two ago the aero
plane was the whole thing.
Now il is but an incident in our
daily life. II has ceased TO
thrill.
The all absorbing topic to-
day is the radiophone, the
latest wireless invention.
You know all about it-how
you place an instrument in the
house, stick a receiver up in the
top of a tree, and then sit back
and listen to market reports or
a concert being given a thous-
and miles away. You may
even dance 10 the latest popu-
lar pieces if you desire, or you
can listen TO a sermon instead
of going TO church.
Even the officials of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin have got
the bug, and are arranging TO
educate the public by wireless.
It's a great stunt. What
will the next one be?

coIors in the Fall.

A desirable tree for brilliant fall
color is the sour gum or tupelo. This
makes q large almost round-headed
tree with very dark green foliage In
the. summer and brilliant red leaves in
the autumn. Even as early as August
there may be a few scattered leaves
that change color, giving promise Of
the brilliancy that is to follow. The
tree Is common In New England and
the northern and eastern states.
The scarlet oak is even brighter than
the red oak in its fall colors and is
equally as brilliant as the gums, says
the American Forestry Magazine. It's
foliage being more finely divided than.
that Of the red oak gives 1t q lighter,
more airy appearance, while the red Of
It's leaves is most emphatic. IT is
widely distributed throughout the east
ern half Of the country.
IN marked contrast to the brilliant
reds Of some trees In the fall is the
yellow OF the sugar + hard maple
This Is a native Of gravelly and other
well-drained soils Of the northern
states and southwark In and near the
mountains. It reaches It's greatest per-
fection In western New England, New

Lloyd George Following in Com

London-Phe long drawn out fight
between former Premier Lloyd George
and Sir George Younger has for the
time ended with victory for the chair
man Of the Unionist party.
Younger and his. adherents staked
their political fortunes at the famous
Carlton club meeting which smashed
the Coalition on the conviction that
the country was ripe for, a return to
straight party politics, and in the
firm belief that the nation would sup
port their conviction by sending the
Conservatives to the House Of Com
mons with a good working majority.
Their confidence has been amply
justified. The elections have returned
q parliament with almost the same
Overwhelming predominance OF Con-
servatives as the last parliament
elected in 1918 on a wave of grateful
enthusiasm to Lloyd George as win
|ner of the war
The new House of Commons will
meet Nov. 20 to elect the speaker, and
It is considered certain that the late
speaker, the Right-Honorable John
Henry Whitley, will be reelected.

to the North pole, scientists say.
Recently, however, the elements had
so worn down the mountain near Red

that the last layer Of soil was swept
away and the dinosaur bones were
barred.

bones. Now they'll go to the Field mu-

Getting out the dinosaur bones
