THE SPOKEN WORD


Have you ever thought about the power of the spoken
word? 1t is limitless in its influence. 1t can make or break
you. Is it your ally or your enemy? You can't get away from
it, SO it must be one or the other.
Miss Business Woman how did you secure your position?
You interviewed your prospective employer, didn't you? And
from your spoken word he judged your efficiency. Miss
Saleswoman the success of your job depends upon the use you
make of the spoken word, doesn't it? There are very few
goods that sell themselves. Minds are swaycd by convincing
words and clever phrases.
Not alone in the business world is the spoken word so
powerful, but in all relations of life it plays a huge role.
Would you convince your child or your friend of the dan
ger of n certain act, or the foolishness of following a certain
course? How better than by the use of a few chosen and con-
yincing words.
Would you convey sympathy to a Borrowing or troubled
heart9 The spoken word is an invaluable courier.
Would you give courage and cheer to a disheartened
soul2 Then speak to them a few inspiring and encouraging
words.
Your noblest aspirations, your tcnderest messages-must
they not be conveyed to the soul and the heart of another by
the spoken wordg
Your ideals, your disposition, your opinions-in a word
your personality is portrayed by your spoken word. 1t is the
index to yourself. Guard it, use it carefully and wisely if you
would make a success of your life.

Vows Keptby
Woman Legislator

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, April IL.
Mrs. Mellcene Smith OF University

elected to the Missouri legislature,

three resolves, all Of which she kept.

Mod.d not MAJ the desks in the
house by placing my feet thereon,
and the third tha1 l would not ex-
pectorate tobacco juice on the

At the close of ner first session,
Mrs. Smith observed that there is no
reason why the average woman,
with some little experience in public
affairs, should not be as efficient as
ii legislator as the average man. She
ia convinced that the election of a
considerable number of women law
makers would be a distinct advan-
tage to the state. The new member,
Mrs. Smith contends, should not be
charged with sponsoring too many
measures.
Mrs. Smith states that she was
impressed with the fact that the
men do not resent the coming of
ome to the legislature. Il sup
posed women would be regarded
with good naturcd tolerance,
but such was not the case, at least
with the really worth while man.

and generous direction and assist
ance from the more experienced
legislators" she added.
Mrs. Smith has sn ambition to be-
ecome sheriff of her county. She
y,believes she could put all law vio-
lators to flight and make the coun-
ty "a modern Sahara" as far as the
enforcement of the eighteenth
amendment is concerned.

RECONCILIATION OF FOOD

Reorganization IS a nice sounding
name for vomiting. Most babies do
regurgitate TO some extent because
the stomach is so imperfectly closed
in infancy that food spills out Of it
at almost any change Of the baby's
position. Such regurgitation is a re-
lief to an overloaded stomach and is
really helpful. L usually takes place

food lies for an hour OF longer in

Indicates that the milk is not being

a Chance for the Imagination

Beauty VS.. Ugliness.
This question appears to be agi-
tating artists on both sides of the
water just now.
Artists are supposed to be perpetu-
ally in quest of that intangible some
thing which gives the spirit of man
| kind a holiday in terms of music,
painting or drama.
This argument refers, however, to
the desirability of beauty as an asset
to woman. Women is also accused
Of being perpetually in quest of
beauty-or bargains.
Internationally, We'll never ad-
nit vanity is a feminine besetting
sin, as long as women swathe their
feet in shapeless golashes.)
Be the golashes as they may, one
! clique of French artists has come
out unanimously in favor of So
called ugly women. The long-haired
painters in their tams and velvet
coats declare that beautiful women
are all beautiful in nearly the same
way, therefore m~onotonous and I'M
interesting. An ugly model" they
say, gives chance for strength, for
individuality, for character. Fur
thermore, mere beauty is insipid.
For this reason the extremely beau
tiful m car never be so well
loved as their less lovely sisters.
When our imagination can add
nothing to idealize a woman, the i'm
agination leases to function, and the
fullest love is not realized"
This gladstone piece of news
causes us to remove the clothes pins

NATIONAL FOLK DANCES
#CByNEA servtce)

MADISON. Wis, April 19:-
America will have her national folk
dances, AMI they will be known the
world over, if the efforts CT Miss
Elizabeth Burchenal are successful.
Miss Burchenal is known as the
leading American authority on folk
dancing, was organizer and first
chairman OF the folk dance commit
Tee of the Playground Association OF
America, and is a member of the
staff of the National Community
Service, in which capacity she trains
recreation leaders. She came to
Madison to institute community folk
dance classes.
Recreation, through folk dancing,
for grownups as well as children, is
Miss Burchenal's life work. She has
studied the national dances of all
European countries, has Travelled
through regions unexplored by tour
lists and taken part in peasants
recreations, in order to learn all
is to know of this subject.
In 1913 she conducted a folk
dance institute in Ireland, for which
she was presented with a gold Tara
brooch, held sacred by the Irish.

THE greatest potential value Of

possibilities as a much needed whole

Folk dancing Is a means of self
