ANSWERED LETTERS


 Dinty-FreckIes are the result of excessive iron in the blood, brought to the skins surface by the suns rays. The fact that you never had freckles prior to 28 merely means that you did not have a condition previous to that time that would cause freckles. Our bodies are never the same as they were a. year before; possibly not the same one day as the past one. That your hair has gnown stronger and has more of a, gIint is possibly due to this iron which shows on the skin and has frightened and strengthened the hair You can bleach off the freckles as fast as they show but you cannot rid yourself of the tendency unless some chemical changes takes place in your own system. This is not all un- likely since many @ person has freck1ed for few years and then ceased freck1ing.
 Embarrassed.-Oliv oil will not darken your hair. If your black hair is turning red at the roots it shows your scalp is in need of attention. Massage it vigorously every day until the scalp is lose from the bones and the blood is circulating healthful1y.

Singing Band Coming

Of course, he secured young men of musical ability, and, best of all, with real personalities. To do this would have been an achievement, but to find men who really sing well, and also are artists at play ing the necessary band instru- ments. was a master stroke in the organizing of musical forces.
 The point IS. 1t was done: and the Hussars, now eight years old, are one of the most talked of mu- sical organizations in America to- day They have appeared during the past season in every important American city.
 Their engagement means plenty Of real band music, that Is as if a Sousa or Santelman were wield- ing his baton over half a hundred players It means unusual ensem- ble singing-splendid timbre, shad- ing, studied tone, quality, real artistry. It means occasional solos that really get somewhere. are not just endured but enjoyed IL means some clean. clever fun that will bring laugh from the kinder gartrers on the front row to the grown-ups further back, and all between.

Hunting Criminals.

The police commissioner Of New
York city has said that he will soon
have 100 automobiles at work helping
to hunt criminals. This is g. progress.
sive move. There was an old saying
that one should fight the devil with
fire. Persons who have faith in the
devil have no doubt that he drives q
car and SO the cd saying might be
changed to read that one should fight
the devil with gasoline, or should fight
the devil with automobiles.
There has been great progress in
banditry. 1t has been refined in q
number Of ways. Not long ago when
bandits blew open the safe in the
post office at Rubentown or Hicks
Corners they nearly always made their
escape down the railroad tracks on a
hand car. When bandits would hold
up the Overland express they would
escape on horseback and make
straight for Jacksons hole or the bad
lands Of Dakota. Now. . bandit makes

pecting or attempting too much while
you wait. It reports progress, but
points out that time is necessary to
achieve results that will last-that

to go surely and steadily forward.
The message is good, and to the
point. That the people are impatient
is natural. They are having not only
q trying but a new experience. They
have never before known so many or
such embarrassing business disloca-
lions. They have never been taxed as
heavily as now. They have hitherto
never known the government to need
so much money for its proper support.
They fail to remember, however.
that as this situation was not pro-
duced in a day it cannot be relieved

But it is the opinion Of competent

This testimony comes from public as
3 well as from private sources. Officials
charged with the duty Of appraising
such matters are in agreement with
trained men in private life who have
a personal stake In looking around

The Struggle Begun.

President Harding Is reported as en-
tertaining genuine regret over the in
ability Of the governmental mediation
to avert the coal strike which is now
on. The governments authority wa.
limited in the premises, however, to
appeal without the power Of enforce
ment. The President is said to have
described as "obduracy" a certain
spirit pervading in the dispute between
the miners and the operators.
All signs point to prolonged strug-
gle between the employers and the
miners. 1t may resolve into test Of
endurance, as to which side can hold
out longest. The fact that there is a
two-month reserve supply Of coal on
hand precludes the forcing Of sur
render by the operators. especially as
the supply Is expected to be reinforced
by the output of non-union mines.
The miners are promised aid and sym.
pathy of the American Federation Of
Labor, which naturally will stiifen
them in their resistance to surrender.
1. is presumed that the miners union
will have financial aid for its members.
So there appears to be a sixty-day
period ahead before q crisis in the
contest develops. In that time. why
cannot efforts at mediation and settle
ment be resumed? The miners charge
that the operators are trying to de-
stroy the union. The operators retort
that the union is trying to throttle the
industry. Cancellation and compromise
constitute the order Of the day in in
ternational affairs. Why should they
not obtain in domestic issue Of i'm
measurably less magnitude than those
disposed of by the nine powers?
The question may reasonably be
asked whether it would be for the best
interests Of the nation at large to per-
NIT the struggle to go to the point Of
destruction of one or the other of the
contending interests? The average
man may be justified in thinking that
surely there must be some middle
ground between the extreme positions
of the two contending forces.
