tlrely plain and on the edge of the sweater, as 1t hangs over the hips, there will be a band of embroidery edging that portion of the jacket.
 Since sweaters have become so inn portant part of the modern girls equipment for all the year round, she cap afford to have as many of them as her fancy leads her to choose, for she can wear them at all times, in winter under her coat and in summer for part of her dress. She always looks well dressed in dressy sports wear which has come to be one of the salient features of the dressing of the American girl.
 This type of embroidery is so new thing that it leaves the design and the working out of the pattern very much up to the girl who is doing the work. But here Is the opportunity for her to show just how artistic she really is and what an excellent handmaiden when it comes to the carrying out of a brilliant design done with tiny hand-stitches placed closely together. Every girl has this capacity in her soul. She comes by 1t naturally because she has been born woman and if she wants to lead the style (what girl does not?) here is her chance to fall to and really to create something individual for herself.
 The angora sweater that is em- broidered has something very fasci hating about it's appearance because it has all that fluffiness of surface that curls about the embroidered pattern and makes sort of soft nest in which the hand-worked pat tern lies snugly encircled. But the sweaters of flatter surface have the other quality of letting the embroid- cry stand out and show for all it's power of color.
 If it is only belt. though, you must do some embroidery for your newer sweater. A narrow belt of blue and green and yellow worn on gray sweater makes stunning effect and one that adds distinct amount of smartness to the plain ness of the sweater as it has always been done.

Film coats left

Old brushing methods left much film intact. No ordinary tooth paste effectively combats it.
 So dental science sought for film combatants, and eventually found two. One acts to curdle film, one to remove it, and with out any harmful securing.
 Able authorities proved these methods effective. Then a new type tooth paste was created, based

ONE TERM FOR THE PRESl-
DENT?

It is said that Mr.. Harding, while
President, wrote a paper which he
intended to make public, and in
which he advocates a single term
for Presidents expressing the desire
to have the custom begin with him.
self He was dssuaded from MAX
ing this public on the ground that
it might injure his party, might
weaken his own power to get good
work done, and so on. That, how
ever. was his opinion expressed
after experience with the duties Of
the position.
In view of what has occurred it
would be difficult to disprove the
arguments in favor of the single
term proposition. There are, of
course. arguments against it. Con-
gress is usually more attentive to a
President in his first than in his last
term, unless he may have demon
stratcd his ability to go over their
heads to the public. His facilities
for doing this are all the while in
creasing and the exacting duties of
the position are multiplying. This
will he true of President Coolidge,
even should he discontinue the
custom of handshaking, as some
predict he will.

there are two candidates who have
consented to run-Mrs. Florence

Miss Anna Witherle of Castine,

for second vice president.

candidate. She is young, level head

SHOULD NOT BE ENDORSED

Doctor Eliot, president emeritus of
Harvard. declares the check-off sys-
tenn, which the miners require of
the mine operators, compelling the
latter to take the union dues from
the pay envelopes of the miners and
thus compelling the latter to con-
tribute to unionism, to be step in
program aiming "at control of all
American industries and the Govern
ment itself" 1t looks as though the
learned doctor had characterized the
check off, about right. Yet that
is what the miners demand and de-
clare they will strike If they do not
secure it. They are not unmindful,
we believe. of what Governor
Coolidge had to say about a certain
police strike in the city of Boston
and what happened. They are meet
ing in conference again at his sug-
gestion. They will be requested to
lay the cards on the table. and the
chances are that after thinking the
matter over they will do so. Then
public opinion will have a chance.
For one thing public opinion should
not endorse that tyrannical exaction,

WORDS COULD NOT DESCRIBE
THAT SMELL

The Hon. Carroll L. Beedy an
nounces that he is not giving up
congress for the lecture platform,
certain of his assumed friends to the
contrary Notwithstanding. 1t ap-
pears, however, that he gave evil
dence of his capacity for the lecture
field in an address before a meeting
of several Portland organizations,
this week.
Like so many others from among
the members of the national legis-
lative body Mr.. Beedy visited Rus
STA, but unlike some of them he does
not return with convictions that it
is the duty of this country to recog-
nize tine soviet government there.
He does advocate the establishment
of some sort of arrangement for
international trade, though he does
not explain how this might be eff
fected.
He is reported as declaring that
he does not believe the United States
can afford to subscribe to or sane
ton some of the principles of that
government. some of which are
fundamentally false, but he would
like to see, through trade, relief
brought to millions of those people
who are not responsible for the gov
eminent under which they live or
for the conditions which have
brought about their misery.
MI. Beedy said If he should tell
his audience all he saw they would
think he was exaggerating. In de-
scribing the filth he encountered he
added: Everything smells. I cannot
describe that odor-but I'll never
forget it."
There are some people in this
country who deserve to be forced to
endure it, right on the spot where
it is generated

JERRY kLIMA'S SPIRIT

AS the story is reported in the
New York papers a little girl. name
of Laskowitz. lay in the hospital ex-
hausted by a series of sicknesses,
double pneumonia, p!curisy and en-
pyema. To save her life it was
necessary to strengthen her with
blood from a healthy person. That
of her parents was not thought fit.
We are told Of the distracted parents
going to the police station for ad-
vice. Such people often get good
advice in such places even in New
York but the captain was unable to
give it.
Then it was Patrolman Jerry
Klima happened in. Jerry had hap
pened in at opportune times before
in his life. He volunteered to give
the necessary blood and the historical
mother kissed his hand before he
could draw away.
Someone asked Jerry why he did it,
his answer was: :Well l have a kid
of my own and if lie needed the
blood. and l couldn't give it to him. I'd
like someone else to do it," Then
they asked him about his war rec
ord, but he had nothing to say. 1t
was learned, however, that he
brought away two wounds from
Chateau Thierry. one from ST.
Mihiel, and several from other en-
gagements and is the possessor of
the French CroiX de Guerre.
We would like to know Jerry.
Possibly we might not find him an
altogether congenial person, nor he
us. Very likely his ways would not
he our ways, but all the same we
would like to salute Jerry with a
lifted hat, for he is of the salt of the
earth. salt that has not lost it's SAVIOR
and keeps the old world suitable for
human beings. It is not such as he
who foment war but if ever war is
to be prevented it must be done in
the spirit which animates Jerry
