Ell PasO, Texas, Feb. 13.-An expe-

crossed the border from Texas into

which had been carefully planned and
was made after wrecked bridges had

New York, Feb. 13.-Dun's Review
of New York Trade February II. 1922
will say: The movement toward bet.
ter business continues, but it is still
slow and uneven, and encounters va.
riOus obstacles. Efforts to reduce pro,
ductiOn costs through adjustments of
wages and working hours meet with
resistance in some quarters, and Ia
Dor troubles at certain points have
further restricted the public cOnsum,

Results of retail distribution dis
close the influence of economy and
discrimination in purchasing and the
effect of variable weather, while de-
mands in differnt primary channels re-
veal an unmistskable undercurrent of
hesitation and caution.
The gains which appear, however,
are Of wholesome character if mod

the steel industry is especially encOur-
aging. At prices much below the pre-
vious high levels, some buyers who
had deferred commitments as far as
possible during the period of defation
are now more disposed to operate, and
the trend is steadily in the direction
of increased outputs at some manu-
featuring establishments.
While the many existing irregulari-
ties prevent generally favorable re-
port on business, the factors which
will govern the subsequent course of
markets are mainly reassuring and
there is a confident note in forecasts
on future developments. An extension

Work the Roads.

We measure the arrival of
Spring now by weeks. There are
thousands and thousands of roads
all over the county in need of i'm
provements. The States have
large sums Of money available
for such work. There are mil
lions of men seeking employ
ment, with families dependent
upon them for support. Is there
any reason why this money
should remain idle in banks when
it could serve the best purpose
by being put to work in the con-
struction of better roads? Is
their any good reason why we as
a nation should suffer abomnible
roads when both men and money
are available for the making of
better ones? Of course conditions
vary in different states. but
Americans as a whole should be
heartily ashamed of the things
she does not do in the matter of
good roads building. The eXcure
is made that the cement trust is
holding the states UP in the price
of cement. That is easy to cor
rect. Let each state make its
own cement or let a number of
adjoining states band together in
erecting cement works capable
of supplying their needs. If the

Thought Woman Deaf
And Dumb as Well
| thought at last that she must be deaf
and dumb, and great pity surged in my
heart both for him and for her. But l was
wrong. Meeting him later at the Thatched
House Club in st. James's street, l ven-
tured to ask him in the most diplomatic
way as to the cause OF this unaccountable
silence. He roared with laughter and ex-
planned the whole situation in his rather
staccato way. He said:
my dear fellow, that is the point. Kate
charmed me at once by her numerous
superstitions. The day you met US at the
Carlton we had driven to town from High
wyckham and we had passed a load Of
hay. That meant that she could not say
a word until she had seen white horse,
otherwise somebody must have died.
You may believe me when tell you that

broke her silence.

There are. OF course, any number OF
other examples Of what constitutes charm
in woman from the point Of view of the
beholder.

The woman who charmed him more than
any other that he had ever met was pro-
fessional swimmer who risked her life
every night in a vast variety theater by
diving into a tank from the roof, to the
great delight of all the Tommies and young
officers who poured into London from the
trenches for thirty-six hours leave.
With great reluctance l have to confess
that to me this athletic lady, whom | great
ly admire for her courage and her amaz-
ing ability to control her nerves, was en-
tirely without charm Her face was hard,
her expression that of a woman who
couldn't imagine why vast bodies of peo-
pie demanded that she should earn her
bread and butter only by going head first
into tank of water which, il she were
so unfortunate as to miss, would cause
her instant death.
Odd Contrasting Types
Stir Much Comment
But my friend, whenever saw him, de-
lighted in expatiating to me on the beauty
of Lotta's waist line, which to him was
exquisite.
And so ii goes on.
Charm is, therefore, think, something
in the eye of the beholder rather than in
the person who is beholded, IL one may
say so. And when one sees, as one FREE
quently does, man of six feet four mar
ried to little woman of the wren type,
or a tiny man with feet like a womans,
married to a gigantic lady who sails into
foreign hotels like an out of date warship,
what is the use OF asking why on earth
these unions have been contracted?
II is a mere matter of personal idiosyn-
Grassy. The big man saw in the little
woman something so charming that he
paid her the highest compliment that a
man can pay to any woman, and so did
the little man who doomed himself to raise
the ribald laughter of the multitude by
following like a cockleshell of rowboat

have even known a case in which
man found charm in woman who had a
trick eyebrow-an eyebrow which nicked
up and down in the most irresponsible
manner apropos of nothing and caused
most people great discomfort and made
them after a very short time flick their
own eyebrows UP and down from sheer
nervousness. just as II is perfectly easy

For myself, now that / come to think of

others naturally has his own definition of

Looked With Amazement
At His Friends Ideal
I looked at my friend with amazement
and even horror, but he, man of real IN
telligence, keen imagination and a rare
sympathy for humanity, actually and with
out doubt saw something in this poor soul
which to him constituted charm. In those
tiny little eyes that peered at the ever
passing crowd duly and with sort of re-
sentiment he could see, as he told me, a
very beautiful soul.
What could say7
Then again, to take another instance,
there was a man who served with me
during the first years of the war, who was
one of the finest polo players in the coun-
try-a lean and sophisticated sportsman,
as hard as nails, who, one would have
thought would have found charm only in
those girls of his own set who could go
around golf links in anything under 90
without the fear OF sunburn and appear
in evening dress and look as though they
had never held mashie in their lives.

Of irresistible beauty, vivacity and high
spirits, and 1t would have been amazing If
Nelson, that gallant sailor, had been able to
put up any sort of resistance against her.
The fact that she dropped her his and mis-
pronounced her words, as some gossips have
it, may even have added to her charm, pro-
viding sense of uncertainty without which
all conversation falls into dullness.
1t is also said by those people who dearly
love to be accurate at the expense of
romance that the pretty lady of Nelson's
affections had moments of violent temper
when she became a veritable spitfre This
may be true, though | personally do not
believe Il for single moment, any more
than can ever believe anything that is
not absolutely delightful about a girl with
a lovely face-but even If 1t were, little
things like temper do nothing to take away
from the charm OF a woman. This has
been proved over and over again through
out the history of the world, during which
time all who might be called the out
standing ladies whose charm was undis-
puted possessed idiosyncracies which led
to many epoch making fracases.
Take Cleopatra as an example whose
moments of cold bloodedness must have
been extremely surprising to several of her
temporary friends. They, nevertheless,
went down among the lions quite happy in
having discovered the most charming
woman OF their time.
Mark Sabre must have found something
charming even in that peculiar wife Of his.
otherwise being highly intelligent man
he surely would not have married her, and,
having married her, continued living un-
der the same roof without inventing a most
ingenious and efflcacious plan OF putting
her out of existence, with her "whatevers
and whoevers, and please don'ts."
No Standard Possible
When Charm Is Discussed
suppose that this case-and there is
not single discriminating reader who
does not believe implicitly that Mark Sabre
and his wife are not alive at this mo-
ment--is one Of the most extraordinary
instances OF what constitutes charm in
woman that could be put forward. TO
show. as am endeavoring to show, that
there is no standard OF charm. would
