vestments, loans, and credits abroad

entering the war are now urging that
we remit ten billions of debt which
the Liberty Bond holders of the Unit

They would have these debts de-
ferred, scaled down or cancelled alto
gether. In other words, the payment
of the billions rightfully belonging to
the American government and which
would go long way toward reducing
taxation, setting the wheels of indus
try humming, and giving to the .ol-
diers their just demands, is to be de-
ferred or possibly cancelled in order
that the international bankers may be
repaid their loans, plus large bonuses,
made on their own initiative before
the United States entered the war.

when conditions become too oppres-
sive. They did this in the fall of 1920.
In installing the present national ad-

believed that they were successfully
repudiating foreign entanglements,
but they were doing no such thing.
1t was simply case of jumping from
the frying pan into the fire.
The League of Nations was revived
under the title of Association of Ma

acted which are intended to have AM

q permanent national status until 24O
years afterward. when. on the Goth OF
October, 1864, Abraham Lincoln, In
grateful acknowledgment of victories
achieved by the Union army. and the
'shopes of an ultimate and happy de-
liverance from all our dangers and
Affections" asked all of his fellow
citizens to join him In thanks to
God. Lincoln's proclamation was fol-
lowed by proclamations by the COVER
nors of the states, and this custom has
been yearly one since.
1t is claimed that the authorities of
Harvard college were the first pro
moters Of the movement to fix a set
date for Thanksgiving in the New
England states. Until 1880 the holt
day had been celebrated, off and on.
IN winter or summer, just as the spirit
moved the colonists. In consequence
of this all sorts of disorder prevailed
among the college students because
some portion of them was celebrating
Thanksgiving the whole year round.
When a day was set for the feast in
the place where a student lived, of
course he wanted to be there, and
equally of course his parents wanted
him. There was no way to prevent
this state of affairs, so the wisdom of
the Harvard professors was levied
upon for a way to abolish II. Their
cogitations resulted In the proposition
10 advocate a fixed date, and they
gave It widespread publicity. The col
onists saw the good sense Of the
change, and the colonial governors
finally concurred in making the last
Thursday OF the eleventh month the
regular Thanksgiving day.
SO widespread has the observance
Of that first, and now historic feast
become, that wherever Americans con
gregate the wide world over the last
Thursday in November finds the Stars |
and Stripes flung to the breeze and |
our ccuntrymen In China, Russia, |
France. England, and even in the wilds |
of Africa gather around bounteous
board and thank the Giver of All Good

never one more picturesque In sur

The families in the little Plymouth
colony were scarcely numerous enough
to have their own home feasts, so they
all ate and drank together, their
guests being King Massasoit and
nearly one hundred Indians Of his
tribe. What wonderful sight 1t must
have been-the Pilgrims, in their
quaint, homemade garments; the In
dams. in primeval costume, while the
grand old forests of America formed
on three sides a background for the
picture. and In front stretched away
the broad ocean, over which these
founders of a nation had safely come.

nearly two centuries. Still, its cele-
bration was gaining advocates. and as

! You have helped so many with your
excellent advice want to ask you some
questions. "a / had my hair cut last
August and 1t has been coming out. 1t
didn't seem TO come out right after IL
was cut but 1t has been falling quite a
lot lately. My hair was very thick be-
fore 1t was cut. (2) When one has
the hair on the back of the neck clipped
has IL a tendency to make 1t grow
down lower and sitter on the neck?
I viii come to you again when I am in
trouble. Yours, DAISY. Utah.
Welcome Daisy. "a Very often the
hair has season" of falling out. Did
II never do this before It was cut? I
would not advise using the vaseline too
often and do not shampoo more than
every three weeks I see no reason
why the treatment you have been CIV
ing 1t should cause the hair to come
out. Do not brush too vigorously, as
you may irritate the scalp. Massage the
scalp gently with the finger tips and
see that it is free from dandrufr (2)
Clipping the hair does cause it to be-
come coarse and stiff, yes. and as the
clippers are run down farther on the
neck, it causes the hair which would
otherwise be unnoticed, to grow in
coarser and sitter. which makes 1t ap-
pear to be growing down farther on the
neck.

Dear Miss Brooks:

I wrote to you once before and re-
ceived very satisfactory answers Now
as L read you corner each week, I do
not ind any of the girls having tho
same trouble that l do, wonder why
l have gone with different boys in the
last two years. Most of them were
several years older than l. and I find
1t hard to keep your advice not to go
with boy steady, because when l go
with a boy one night he usually wants
me TO go again. l hate to refuse and
so II is every time there is anything
10 attend. l wouldn't mind II 1t would
stop there, but as soon as we get quite
well acquainted they want me to paw
more attention to them than to others.
Now, don't think I'm popular because
L never have chummed with the girls
who can go with one boy tonight and
some one else tomorrow. Nor 1 never
felt that this was exactly proper
mean L never felt that 1 wanted to go
with Just anyone that wished to pick
me up. Besides 1 could not do this
ana still go with some who / really
feel are gentlemen They don't object
to me having friends but insist upon
them being the kind that know how to
treat a girl There does not seem to
be very many of this kind of boys. at
least they don't want to take one girl
and then another and don't feel that
l would gain anything by giving up
these friends for another class Do
you? And how can I keep this class
or boys from wanting to be more than
Just real good friends? Thanking you
