DISCOVERIES IN
CRIME

In the city of Chicago they have
held an investigation to try to de-
termine the cause of the present
crime wave, and they got some in
formation they were not expecting.
The way they did it was to 60 to the
prisons and call men out of their
cells and ask them to sit down in
committee room and tell what they
knew about how they came to be
IN the criminal class. And out of
mass of information gained in this
way, the commission was convinced
that the associations of young per-
son during youth and early manhood
determine what kind of a life they
Will lead. The boy who runs with
the gang, does as the gang does, and
gangs generally follow the pace set
by the most daring and adventurous

LAWSUIT OVER A
GIRLS LIPS

Lips are IN IOr lltlgallOn NOW, v
rather, the care of the lips. Dow
in Arkansas, at the town Of Corning
the question of whether girl nigh
attend school II she used the lipsticl
and ornamented her lips, has at las
been decided in the girls favor. ate
seven months in the courts. M
A rnonentous matter Is this ques
ton Of the care and decoration O
the lips for public exhibition. Las
fall when school began, the principa
of the Corning school forbade thu
decorating of lips and cheeks by thu
pupils, and at least one girl disre
garded the order and attended
school with lips showing the use o.
the lipstick. The principal brought
matters to focus and the girl took
| the view that this was part Of bel
personal privilege in caring for hel
body. The principal considered u
disobedience and sent her home. She
or her parents for her, brought suit
I for d court order reinstating her In
school according to her vested rights
as a healthy person OF school age
conducting herself with proper de-
corum. The principal put it up to
the school board to see what should
be done about the suit, and he told
them that he believed he was in the
right about It, and that II they did
not feel like sustaining him he would
resign and they could yield the point.
The school board decided to test 1t
in court and now comes the decision
that this plaintiff has been shown to
be healthy person, conducting her
self In proper and moral way, not
in any way corrupting the minds or
bodies of anyone else, and therefore
entitled to be admitted to the pub
lie schools with or without the lip
grease or wax as she might choose.
1t was not contended by the school
management that there was any
danger Of contact with other lips
and thereby placing it on lips whose
owners were unwilling, and the
whole matter was cleared up. the
school board paying the costs of the
suit, and the girl losing the advant-
ages of schooling for the seven
months that it required to get trial
and decision. aasj 4
Some Things Cure
Themselves
The matter of oiling or greasing
the lips by persons whose lips chap
or scale unnaturally is probably a
personal right and commendable
practice. And the use of the lip
stick to grease and decorate the
works of nature in an effort to i'm
prove upon nature brings the person
under the criticism of all observers,
as one who thinks she can do bet
ter job Of decorating her lips than
did the Creator. Everybody knows
hat If she had been born with a
ipstick preparation on her lips she
would sacrifice almost anything to
get rid of it and get along with the
perfection of the natural lips as we
ind them coming from the Divine
land.
The painting of cheeks comes
lnder the same line of reasoning,
md when. anyone appears with I
'aint, powder or lip decorations as at /
resent practiced, everybody knows
It once that this individual. thinks
he can do better job than did
'reation. 1t is, of course, an
acknowledgement that her lips and
heeks are imperfect or at least un-
satisfactory to herself and judged to
e so to the public and she is trying
0 remedy the defect, resorting to
rease and powder-two symbols of

Reminds Us of Salem
Witchcraft

The persistent objections made
against the present mode Of dressing
women, Is q constant reminder of
the centuries Of agitation trying to
make the other fellow believe and
worship the way others did. The
Pilgrims were not willing to worship
like the crowd did in England, so
they said in effect, $50 we shall 60
to hades shall we If we do not be-
lieye as the rest do in England. Very
we'll, what need have the rest Of you
to worry II you go to, heaven and we
fail to show up there, but 60 to
hades Instead. !" SO they moved to
the new world and started in at
Plymouth rock and very soon got
into trouble among themselves try
ing to make one another believe and
worship q certain way They ex-
PEELED Roger Williams from the
colony and hanged Others before
they found 1t was doing no good. The
chief trouble was in the minds and
thoughts Of those, who did the
agitating. ,a@ys ETH s,sr
In the period following every
great war, people become cratic and
try out q good many things, and
those that are not sound in practice
are soon discarded. Following the
French revolution they discarded
marriage, but they found there were
some good reasons for marriage and
they went back to it. Following the
world war aNgood many women tried
going naked in certain. social stunts
in France, but they found there were
some good reasons for clothes, and
they seem to be going back to them.
II they continue to wear only the
fig leaf, other people will probably
grow accustomed to 1t and will suf-
fer less than do the naked ones.
Anyhow, cows and heifers running
around without clothes excite no
comment and are not
charged with any Of the existing cor
ruptions of society, so there is no
occasion for people to get excited
about matters that are adjusting

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products that
are extensively advertised, all at once
drop out of sight and are soon for
gotten? The reason is plain-the
article did not fulfil the promises
of the manufacturer. This applies
more particularly to a medicine. A
medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as
like an endless chain system the rem
edy is recommended by those who
have been benefited, to those who
are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take
for example DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, preparation / have sold for
many years and never hesitate to
recommend, for in almost every case
it shows excellent results, as many
of my customers testify. No other
kidney remedy has SO large a sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who
have used the preparation, the sue
cess of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
due to the fact, so many people claim,
that it fulfils almost every wish in
overcoming kidney, liver and bladder
ailments, corrects urinary troubles
and neutralizes the uric acid which
causes rheumatism.

OF Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Ad-
