Somebody who hasn't much else
to do rises up in meeting with thu
query.
Darwin, the scientist who made
ancestor worship less popular, sale
that "the sexes like best in eact
other what is most different from
themselves"
We haven't yet heard of any wo-
man fondly admiring an Adams
apple, but complete returns from al
precincts are not in.
Only on the stage does a woman
fall hard for the b~ull-necked, loud
mouthed male who gobbles his food
and cusses all over the place.
In the movies the primative sons
of nature appear to have the upper
hand when it to making love.
Being dragged around by the hair in
real life is somthing else again, and
lands one to the police or divorce
court.
The wife-beaters are not SO nu-
merous as they used to be. The old
English common law used to permit
wife-beating with certain reserva-
lions. The lawmakers probably
though, since prohibition or Wlte-
beating was out of the question, that
the matter should be regulated.
Hence it was provided that a man
might beat his wife with no fear OF
legal interference If he used a gao
n o thicker than his thumb.
The country squires may have
been handsome souls whose skill at
~wife-beating aroused the admiration
of said wives. But we doubt 1t.
The "drammer" still continues tc
give us the old idea~of the All-Con-
ouering hero who losses women
about carelSssly, and pretends they
like 1t.
Al dramatic license and a marriage
license, are two vastly different
things, however.

In the above groups, or perhaps just

1t does not matter in which par
ticular class of beauty you fall, there
is a corset that will fit you. Eft
is used rightly here for the corset
should be fitted as carefully as shoes
are. The abdominal muscles of the
body are delicate and need the sup
port of a correctly fitted corset.
Would you buy q pair of shoes for
yourself by simply stating the size I?
Yet how many do that very thing
with their corsets and wrong COR
sets can do a decided harm, cause
back aches, poor posture, and other
ills.
Just because some corsets have
been, and some still are, wrong is
nc reason why all corsets Should be
condemned" declares Mrs. Cathe-
rine Griebel, clothing specialist of
the State Agricultural College.
She further adds, one might say
the same thing about shoes for, up to
a few years ago, most women hob
bled about in shoes that were too
narrow or too short or too some
thing or other. But because these
shoes were wrong 1t did not neces-
sarily follow that re gave up wear
ing shoes and scorched our bare
feet on the hot ~pavements. No.
indeed Someone studied the anat-
omy of the foot and devised q real
I1y good shoe; a shoe that gave the
foot a fair chance. If you look about
you today you will find a majority
of u women wearing such shoes.
Twenty years ago mother boosted
that little Emily wore AAA width.
Poor little Emily. Nowadays her
mother would be ashamed to up
to such folly and would fit her
out with a pair of barefoot sandals
that would give her feet a chance
to become beautiful and useful.

grandmother, II she is still alive,

Real demonstrations of fitting cor

Russian in Prague and various
other centers where the refugees from
the BoIshevist regime are gathered
in large numbers, have discovered
that the Soviet government victim
lied them cleverly by loading them
down with alleged czaristic money,
which really was printed by the Boil

Russians outside Of Russia and
many other persons not thoroughly
Informed about currency, believed for
a long time that the Russian money
of the old regime was much more
valuable than Bolshevist paper
money. and would some day be re-
deemed. Consequently there was
considerable demand in European
money exchanges for the old time
Russian money, and it brought better
prices than red rubles.
AS the Bolshevist government had
n large quantity of the water marked
paper used in the old money, and had
the plates for bills of large denom-
nations, it started its money presses
and supplied the demand for czarist
bills. They continued this practice
until last January, when the water
marked paper supply was exhausted

Jugo-Slavia Near
Dissolution Says
British Writer

London, June GA. =. by Mail)-
Jugoslavia is perilously near dissolu-
ton, says a correspondent of the
Sunday Observer. He believes its
condition may have widespread in
fiuence upon the unstable architect
ure of European peace. If Jugoslavia
is to be saved, he says, it can be done
only by an immediate and extensive
application of the principles Of non
coercion and federalism.
After giving a history of the foun-
dation of the new kingdom of the
Serbs, Croats and Stevens in 1918,
which promised to be one of the
most stable and promising compo-
nents Of post war Europe" the cor
respondent describes the act Of union
signed by the Serbs, Croats and
Slovenes at Zagreb in 1918, assur-
ing the principal racial elements local
autonomy and local parlaments. ut

Difference to the cultural and political
differences which would naturally
exist between a nation whose whole
Turkey, and one which had been
educated, however unwillingly, in the
Austrian school, But it was never
even tried"
The Belgrade Government, the
writer adds, has abolished the local
parliaments, imposed a constitution
that is virtually a Serbian empire,
and has repeatedly imprisoned
Stephen Raditch, the Croat national
leader. This policy is the work of
the the coalition of Radicals and
Democrats of the aged and meal
culable Pasitch, hahitual Serbian
prime minister now nearly eighty,
and Prebipovitch, man of science
and violent mind, who, believing GEN.
tralization the best government for
the new state, is ready to go to any
length except the use of tact in at
tanning it,"
The correspondent refers to the
impossibility Of getting reliable news
from the Balkan countries and seces-
sion states, and says they are as $50
lated from one another as if they
were separate islands in the Pacific.
