Small Qualification
Over Outcome of
Lausanne Conference

London, July 1O.-(By A. Pr
Except for satisfaction that the long
discussions at Lausanne at last have
ended, there is little qualification
here over the outcome. The opinion
of the newspapers is that Turkey won
a substantial victory and obtained
immeasureably more from her nomi-
nal conquerors than would have been
thought possible few months ago.
1.-THE historian will set down with
amusement the slender resources
with which Turkeys representatives
have defied and bullied the allies"
says the Morning Chronicle, and this
is typical of several other comments.
That the settlement is likely to ad-
vance the progress of peace in the
Near East or land to an improve
ment in the general European situ-
alton is nowhere confidently believed

FEDERAL DRY WORK IN ALABAMA IS REPORTED
 FAR FROM PERFECTION
Reade Sent To State To Straighten Out Situation,
 Is Indication

Despite optimistic reports from prohibition officials in Alabama, conditions in that state are regarded IS far from being perfect. This fact was made known today when Federal Commissioner Roy A. Haynes gave as reason for the sending to Alas pama as acting director. Edgar N. Reade, the fact that his record in Milwaukee, Washington and Balti- more had been so good that he felt sure he would succeed in Alabama
 The announcement that Reade would succeed Charles M. Sarlin July [. announced some days ago in The Age-Herald, was made official today. The office of Director Hoover is po- itical and is filled by presidential appointment at the instance of local political referees. It is understood that Reade will serve only until the referees can nominate an Alabama republican for the consideration of he President.
 When the government director is named, it is understood that Reade will take charge of the district, of which Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana are the member states.

THE FAMILY LUGGAGE

As July and August--the nations 8 vacation months-approach, it be- hooves the housewife to get out the family luggage and make it present. able for it's summer travels. Suit cases, valises. trunks, large hand bags, hat boxes and weekend cases will all need dusting, perhaps thor Dugh cleaning and oiling. and possi- bly, bit of mending in case a strap has broken or gash has been made In the surface.
 The care of good leather is one of the signs of good housekeeper. To make heavy leather waterproof and keep it soft, pliable and glossy, ther" Isn't anything better than neatsfoot oil. Rub this oil thoroughly into calfskin bags, hamper covers, and heavy walking shoes if you would keep them in good condition. A cleansing, softening cream may be made of neatsfoot oil blended with melted laundry soap and rubbed to a smooth paste.
 Suit cases. valises or trunks of pat ent leather or any highly polished leather may be made to look like new by the application of no less an ar ticle than the shiny hat varnishes that come in bottles for the brighten Ing up of old straw hats. These con coctions excel any preparation I know of for refinishing battered, Eoiled luggage of glossy leather. It flows on freely without leaving any brush marks, dries instantly, and lasts for two or three years. Sew eral years ago l gave a coat of navy blue hat polish to handsome ward robe trunk that had been on many hard trips and voyages. It was Gulled, smeared with ink. and chalk marks. scratched badly and looked in general like hard-worked soldier just out of the trenches. The chalk marks and actual dirt were wiped off. the hat-polish applied, and an hour later the trunk looked as if it had just come out of the store.
 The dull black leather finish of many of this seasons suitcases and bags is more difficult to freshen suc- cessfully. One woman of my ac- quafntance treated hers to a coat of fast black dye put on with brush, allowed to dry, and then rubbed with D soft cloth to remove the superflu- pus dried dye. This does not crack pr rub off on her garmentsc, and has no shiny finish.

"Woman's
 Influence" Counts For Very Little
A man correspondent asks:


 Why is 1t that a woman can make a fool of Wise man, and a wise man of fool?"
 She can't. No woman in the whole history of the world has ever been able to perform this miracle. It is just one of the things that isn't done. It is true that a wise man often makes fool of himself about a woman, but it is his own vanity and egot.sm that betray him into folly, not the subtlety of the woman. For instance, 1t Is a common thing for an old man, who has had intelli- and pile up huge fortune, to marry a girl young enough to be his grand daughter. fondly believing that he is loved for himself alone. In such cases, the man kids himself into thinking that he is so handsome and attractive that flapper prefers him to a boy of her own age. But it IS seK-conceit that does tho trick. The girl herself couldn't turn it to save her life.
 It is also . common thing for clever mon, wise men whose judg- ment Is unerring in matters of fi- nance, or questions of law or med- cine, to pick out utterly unsuitable wives or get into disgraceful entan- elements with evil women. Again it is the men who make fools of them- selves. No female idiot. however beautiful, can herself deceive a man into thinking that she would make an interesting life companion for an intelligent man. The man pulls the wool over his own eyes by being vain enough to believe that he can make a stupid woman over into a brilliant one after he marries her.
 Likewise, every man leads himself into temptation.
 Of his own volition he writes the assinine letters and goes on the lit- tie excursions for which he is sub sequently lackmailed. It's a mans colossal conceit which makes each one believe that he, alone, of all the sons of Adam, can SOW a wild oat crop and escape having to reap the harvest, that keeps the vamps busi- ness in a prosperous condition.
 Predatory women there are enough. goodness knows. but they ply their arts and wiles in vain on the man who is not himself a philan- derer and on the lookout for amor ous adventures. No ogler gets any where by rolling her eyes at blind man.
 No woman can make fool out of a wise man. Still less can any wom-

But you should not have tried to carry away the Blowgee's hat" the Treemax replied. You surely cannot expect me to stand still and let selfish pirate captain carry away my cousins hat, can you?"
 "Is the Blowgee your cousin" the Pirate Captain asked
 Yes, the Blowgee and the Treemax are first cousins" Raggedy Ann an swered.
 Hmm! the Pirate Captain said. Then, suppose you have right to bite my wooden leg in two."
 Tt should teach you lesson never to take anything which does not be- long to you" the Blowgee told the pirate captain.
 "Yes, I know 1t should" the pirate answered, but tell me, please, where in the deep, deep woods do they sell wooden legsT'
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-06-27

T don't believe there Is one single wooden leg store in the whole woods" the Treemax replied, but If you will promise never to take Cous- in Blowgee's hat away from him again. I will see If I can mend your wooden leg"
 Then I will promise" the Pirate Captain laughed. Tt isn't any fun hopping on one foot all the time"
 "Raggedy Ann gave me a nice piece of magical blue glass" the Treemax explained to the pirate, and if I can magic your wooden leg back into one piece I shall be glad to do It." So the Treemax took the piece of blue glass In his hand and wished for the pirates wooden leg to be whole again, and he had hardly fin- ishcd wishing when the Pirate Cap tain found his wooden leg was as good as new.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-06-27


 So when the Pirate Captain started walking away with the Blowgee's hat and every nice thing he had in- side of the hat. this was more than the Treemax could stand, so he ran and bit the pirates wooden leg right smack dab In two.
 It did not hurt the Pirate Captain when the Treemax bit his wooden leg In two. but 1t made the pirate tumble to the ground and drop the Blowgee's hat.
 Now just see what you have done!" the Pirate Captain howled You have spoiled my wooden leg and I just had 1t painted and var nished yesterday. How do you ex- pect me to walk now when my wood- en leg is broken in two pieces? Just you tell me that, Mister Treemaxn

Man Is Neither Reformed Nor Led Astray By Woman. Her Traditional Influence Is Merely Pretty
 Phrase-And An Excuse
An Excuse

an make a wise man out of fool Poise, balance, judgment, gumption -these a man must acquire for him self. They can never be handed him on silver platter by anyone else. And, especially, he will never take them from womanS hands.
 Occasionally. a fool repents of his fclly and becomes wise. There are cases of drunkards and gamblers who have reformed, and who never touch a drink or a card again. Some times, a waster and a spender pulls up short and becomes worker. Sometimes, the foolish and frivolous one faces about and becomes sober and serious. But in nearly every such case the man has gotten some jolt that has walked him up and reused his latent manhood. It isn't because he has been beguiled into the paths of righteousness by a lady angel.
 In reality, there is nothing that we so koverrate as women's influence over men.
 The polite fiction that man is clay in feminine hands has been exploited by men because it excused their weaknesses and furnished handy aiibi for their shortcomings. Women have pushed along the cheerful theory that they could mold men to tkeir hearts desire because it flat tered their vanity.
 The truth is that the only women who vita,ly influence men are their mothers. Every mother can virtually mako her baby boy what she will. and every man who goes out into the world Is indelibly stamped with his mothers care or neglect. But after a man is grown, all that any woman, good or bad, can do for him is to
