According to the newspaper reports, the
young men of Babylon, N. Y, have issued a
ukase banning the frivolous dress of modern
woman. They serve due notice that the
skirt that expects to walk, out with them
must not be of knee length; that the flapper
who rolls her own will also have to buy her
own chocolate sundaes and that she who hobs
her hair will find that she has cut off her sup
ply Of beaux at the same time.
In word the girls of Babylon have got to
dress properly If they desire any attention
from these most estimable, and proper young
men, who earnestly avow that they are no
| klth or kin to the inhabitants of ancient
Babylon, and that they do not approve Of
! the practices that they understand were
| therein practiced.
Of course, it is easy to say that is only the
| foolhardy optimism Of extreme youth that
would lead any man, or body of men, to at
| tempt to dictate to women about what they
shall put on, or leave off, whe1 they adorn
themselves. One might also remark in pass
ing that millions Of preachers, moralists,
physicians, husbands, and fathers have worn
themselves to fragile preaching to women
about the folly, the immodesty the un-
healthyfulness, and the extravaganza Of the
way in which they DRESS and all to no avail
Women have listened to what men had to say
on the subject of feminine Dress and then
gone forth, and purchased high heels and
| straight fronts, and defed zero weather with
two layers of chiffon~as their only protection
against the cold.
It is true that heretofore mems structures
on women's clothes have borne no fruit, but
that is because their conduct gave the lie to
their theories. They would rail against fri

But the question becomes another thing al

Certainly, it is within the power of men to
censor women's clothes, because women dress
to please men.
OF course, there are those who deny this,
and say that women dress for each other, but
this is disproved by the fact that when women
get together, far away from the masculin eye,
they take off their glad rags they ungird their
stays, and let down their back hair, and don

they possess, and put on the flip-flopptest

QUIPS AND QUIDDITIES

A bright boy was asked by his governeSs to
write description of his imaginary travels in
Italy. She was rather staggered however, when
she read:
"After sailing about Vienna on gorgonzola
and being disappointed in the smallneSS of the
Boosted Bridge of Size,' l went to Rome
Again was disappointed. The Coliseum
there compared unfavorably with the one
in London. The macaroni fields were white
for harvest, but the spaghetti was only just in
bloom. There was nothing on at the Vaticombs,
as the Pope no longer lives underground"
"Please, sr,'' pped the tiny customer whose
head scarcely reached the counter, "father wants
some oak varniSh'
"How much does your father want, my little
mani" asked the Shopman.
"Father said you was to fill this" said the
little fellow, handing over half-gallon can.
1t was duly filled, and handed over "Father
will pay youI on Saturday said the recipient
casually. And the face of the paint store man
grew dark.
"We don't give credit here,'' he said Gimme
back the cant" Meekly the little lad handed
back the can, which was emptied and given to
him with a Scowl.
"Thank you, sir" he said. "Father said you'd
be sure to leave enough around the sides for
him to finish the job he wants to do. And
think you have, SIR"

THE GREAT PANACEA
Rv II. AddingtOn Bruce

~HERE is no medicine the equal of
optimism. There is no surer solvent
for human problems. 1t is the great
panacea, the cure-all for the ills to which
mankind is herr
Thus one enthusiast. Skeptics, with rea-
son, may retort that for a panacea, optimism
often proves singularly disappointing. Never
theless it does so often produce good results
-astonishingly, sometimes almost Incredibly,
good results-that the enthusiast who calls
it the great panacea is not altogether with
out warrant for so doing.
And certainly the man who fails to make
use of optimism is foolishly ignoring one OF
the most potent of all aids to health and
to success.
Ask any medical man of long experience
and he will tell you that, in any struggle
against disease, optimists always have the
greater likelihood of emerging triumphant
Ask any veteran business man, and you will
learn from him that there is nothing like
optimism as a help on the thorny road of
business progress.
Indeed it could not be otherwise, in view
Of the now well-established influence for
good exercised on all the vital processes by
p1easurable mental states.
optimist, is in a highly pleasurable mental
state all the while. This means that all the
while he is sending to all parts Of his organ
ism impulses that energiZe, and that thereby
make him more fit to endure unexpected
stresses and trials, to overcome whatever
evils may befall him.
Herein, again and again, we have the ex-
PLANTATION of seemingly miraculous recoveries
from disease, amazing returns to business
prosperity after circumstances have wrought
disastrous failure.
The doctor abandons the case as hopeless
Business acquaintance, aware Of the extent
OF the failure, knowingly affirm, "He can
never come back"
Most assuredly, unless the afflicted one,
the bankrupt one, is a true optimist, the
chances are that he will not 'come back, -
or, II suffering from disease, will speedily
verify the doctors gloomy prognosis. Let
him, however, be an optimist Of a genuine
sort, and he may live to amaze the doctor,
the business acquaintance.
And optimism, let me emphatically in
form you, is essentially boon that any one
may acquire. The widespread idea that it
is chiefly a matter of temperament cannot
be too vigorously combated. It is much
more matter of habit
The man who habitually makes 1t point
to think cheerful, courageous thoughts, who
hab1tually associates SO far as he can with
cheerful, courageous people, will soon or
late become as much of an optimist as he
would be If optimism were Unborn in him
To him likewise will accrue all the advan-
tages and profits that optimism brings.

doctor proceeds to make more rows of
scratches and to apply to them different
strength solutions Of the pollen or other
matter which seems to be the worst 1rritant
On his card telling the history of the case
he carefully draws the outline of the little
welts which are produced by the disturb
ing extracts. At each visit the patient has
fewer Of the welts as she becomes accus-
toned to stronger solutions.
The reaction may be understood better
by comparing it to the way in which dope
gradually fails to take effect unless larger
and larger doses are taken. The pollen
extracts are in no way like dope, but the
process >of immunization is similar. Begin
ming with one part of pollen to 10000 parts
of diluent, eventually the doctor works up
to injections Of one part of pollen to only
100 parts of diluent.
If the patient fails to react to this strong
a dose of pollen it is presumed that she
is no longer sensitive to that, particular
agent Of hay fever.
If her nasal membrance is especially SEN
sitive it may be that other INFESTED agents
will still attack it and she may suffer
from hay fever in spite of immunization to
one kind of pollen, but the chances are
good that the patient will escape, or at
most she will have slight attack
Successes and Failures
The clinic doctor says that according to
the experience OF men working In this field,
25 to 80 per cent of the cases given pre-
ventive treatment are cured Ten per cent
are not benefited the first year. The rest
are benefited SO to Is per cent
Hay fever is not easily cured. Once a
person has an attack, the membrane of the
nose is weakened. Thereafter, that person
is apt to be less able to Withstand the pol
lens in the atmosphere. Regularly the at
tacks come at the time Of year when the
air is filled with the agent which affects
him, unless he is cured by some treatment
or unless he goes to a place where the dis
turbing pollens do not follow.
Doctors find that if the attacks are pre-
vented for several years the resistance of
the patient increases and in time he be-
comes immune The main difficulty in
achieving immunity is that there are so
many possible causes of the disease Most
victims respond to several irritants, and out

A negro named Sam had worked for his mas
ter for five years. His friend Ben said to him
one day:
"Now, Sam, you have worked up there and
made your employer rich. You ought to ask
for more money. You just tell him. Look
here, boss, you pay me more, or else'"
Sam tried his friends advice while sweeping
the next morning. He began: "Say, boss, you'll
have to glib me mo- money fo' dis job"
"Well, Sam, I'll see about it, was the reply
"See about nothin'. You pay mo- or else"
"Pay more or else? Else WHAT" The en-
ployer'S eyes flashed and his tone was sharp.
Sans eyes blinked as he detected his en-
ployer'S anger, and in a soft voice he replied:
"Else wuk for de same money"

ends. And should the crop season
prove favorable, which the general
distribution Of moisture seems to war
rant, there will be considerable i'm
migrat ton movement in evidence dur
ing the summer and fall.
Moreover, the immigration propa-
ganda is not a promotion scheme. 1t
is legitimate. The various organiza-
tions are not formed for profit or in
the interest of real estate agents or
land spectators, but for the benefit Of
the several communities that support
these associations-for the benefit Of
the state. =
However, neither the organized
communities nor the state will be the
exclusive beneficiaries. The new set
tiers will find here opportunities for
securing independent homes which are
next to impossible in states where
farm prices are beyond their reach.
Thus, thru Immigration propaganda,
both the state and the homeseekers
that may be induced to locate here
will be equally benefited.
There are many other sections of
the state where development associa-
tons should be organized. The plan
is simple. No large fund is required
to advertise opportunities commun-
ity has to offer to new settlers if all
the interested citizens will cooperate.
A neatly gotten up folder, or even q
mimeographed letter, setting forth
average price of land, with or without
improvements, character of soil, terms
ETC., and sent by local citizens, togeth-
err with a personal letter to eastern
friends and acquaintances,~ with an ur-
gent request for them to take advan-
tage of the reduced homeseekers' rates
and visit the state during the sum-
mer or next fall and investigate op.
portunities this state offers in the
way Of rural homes to families with
large or small means, should result in
attracting many visitors, some OF
whom doubtless would invest and be-
come citizens. Later, others will fol-
low. At all events it's worth a trial,
since it does not cost much and at
fords opportunity for all citizens to
cooperate in the effort to secure more
neighbors to assist in community de-

ambitious to become farm owners.
North Dakota is filled with opportun-
tiles for such families. Every COM
immigration movement, therefore, and
munity should take advantage Of this
make an effort to secure new settlers.
A state capable Of supporting a
population Of two million should not
be satisfied with three quarters of

is, therefore, two fold incentive for
citizens generally to take a hand in
this immigration movement.
