THE POWER TO PLAY
By SOPHIE IRENE LOEB.

By SOPHIE IRENE LOEB. He was Q youth, With all youths hope and joy, And all about him He saw values-values built with
 gold. And he put forth all energy to get
 that gold. "For with 1t I can have every
 thing" he cried. And went to work with might and
 main. His one aim-gold. And other youths called to him. Come out and play and laugh and
 love-" And his answer always, always, T will not have time enough, For when l have gold l can have
 everything, I can buy everything; All the joys, all the pleasures of the
 world" And many 2 night. impatient. He tossed on his weary couch With the slow process. And old age found him still strug-
 gling. Gold did not come-nor great suc-
 cess. He was weary with Work ana real
 fixed the futility Of fighting-only for gold. Creature comforts were his. and
 modest means. But he was old and worn and tired For he had lost tho capacity for
 pleasure. The world pointed at him as sad
  He who never smiled. So long had ho been busy With tho grim business of getting
 gold That he had lost the power to
 play. And therefore tho golden hours of
 joy Were unknown to him. And when he saw those about him
 making merry And getting fun out of simple
 things, He sighed and deplored That he had not had his playtime For once you have lost the ability to
 be joyous Not a mountain of gold Can ever bring 1t back.

THE SEMI-TAILORED
 GIRL
By IMAGERY WEILs
Copyright. 1923, New York Evenin, World, Press Publishing company

Copyright, 1923, New York Evening
 world, Press Publishing company.)
 Some girls have neither the figure nor the disposition, nor the inclina- tion to be strictly tailored in their dress. Stll. they do not take to the Hurry, light and airy things that their more feminine sisters admire Ihey are distinctly the in-between type and of them ther are many. Fortunately,f however, these are the girls who find it easiest to buy their clothes all ready made and finished for them to step into and to step out in. They are the girls Tor whom American designers are creating the mass of their models. Ihey are the best expression of the American idea of dress.
 These semi tailored girls want clothes that will express the girls own feeling about life-not too se- vere-not too informal-just some thing that strikes a happy medium ultra-dress and ultra egligee-some- thing which is frank and free enough to be in harmony with their own natures. Clothes of this va riety follow no period of style. They are plain American, plainly modern. plainly stamped with the approval and the good will of the girl of today.
 One salient characteristic of the girl who loves clothes of this sort Is that she refuses to take undue trouble about her dressing. She wants to look lovely but she consid- CTS the time wasted that is spent upon the laundering of tiny white edges and the sewing of them into her frocks. She will not bother with hooks and eyes, with strings and ties, with under-arm pinning and oVer-arm fastenings. For her there Is the chemise dress, that slips on over her head, the wrapped frock that winds round her form most pleasantly and ties without the sign of hook, an eye or a snapped fast ening.
 And she succeeds in looking smart and up-to- date. She has everything her own way when it comes to style, Tor she IS in harmony with the spirit or the times. She is expressing a new tendency among women-to con- serve effort and put it in the places where 1t will have the best and most artistic effect, leaving her some leftover force for the doing of all the important things that her life includes.
 Just touch of handsome embroid- cry, just small insertion of bril- liant brocade, just binding of hand some braiding, just a facing of un- usually colorful crepe-touches like these are the ones that make the gowns of the semi-tailored girl dis tinctive things to see.
 From morning until night the semi- tailored girl wears clothes of the same character The only thing that changes when the hours Of evening come around is the stuff from which her frocks are made. Then she takes to brocades and all-oyer em- broideries and spangled robes. But the lines and the cut remain the same. She has discovered the lines that suit her best. she knows her self in the shape of the gown that becomes her most. and with the sane tion of some of the designers of highest reputation she goes on through many seasons and all of the hours every day arrayed in frocks made on one very simple and wholly unadorned idea.

 The league is standing back of it's reputation to help anything and everything for the good of our city. The health and hygiene committee, of which Mrs. Scale Harris Is chair man, presented the following reso- hutton through Mrs. Trenton Fisk:
 Whereas, one of the most impor- tant functions of government, wheth- CT of city. state or nation, is to pro tect the health and lives of its ciH- zens; and.
 Whereas, 1t has been proved that mosquitoes transmit dengue fever, malaria and other diseases. and there fore they are menace to the health and lives of our people; and,
 Whereas, it Is economy to spend money to prevent communicable dis eases:
 Therefore, be it resolved:
 l. That the League of Women Voters tndorse the anti-mosqufto campaign now being carried on by our city health department.
 2. That we pledge our hearty sup port and cooperation to Health off, cer Bowling in his efforts to make our city a healthier and better place in which to live.
 3. That we urge our city commis- sioners and county board of revenue to provide funds for destroying mos quitoes and their breeding places.

KICK

THE chronic kicker is a nuisance
to any community. He kicks
whether there is anything to kick
about or not. The occasional kicker
is benefit to a community, be-
cause he kicks only when there is
something that needs kick.
Nobody pays any attention to
the chronic kicker, because nothing
else is expected from him. Every
body listens to an occasional kicker,
because they know that when he
voices protest there is Legitimate
reason for his noise.
Kicking pays when people take
your kicks seriously. 1t is then
that Investigations are made and
the truth comes out. Don't kick
for the sake of kicking, but kick
hard when the good of the com
munity requires it,

HOMES AND BETTER CITIZENSHIP

Hundreds of thousands of new
homes have been built in the Unit
ed States during the past year.
Owning a home tends strongly to
produce better citizenship, both in
children and in adults.
The house owner has a more di-
rect interest than has the fiat renter
in efficient and economical govern
ment and in the improvement Of
his neighborhood and his city, since
anything that improves the COM
munity's social or physical condi-
tion increases the value of the home
owners property and makes his
home better place 10 live in.
1t used to be argued that proper
ty owners paid all the taxes and
that renters escaped. The fallacy
of that view is now we'll understood.
Indeed, rapidly as taxes have gone
up in the last few years, the rents
of flats and apartments have gone
up still faster. The landlord has
passed his tax burden-and more
on to his tenants.
1t is good for any community
that the "own your home" move
ment has made such progress. That
movement should be encouraged in
all proper ways.

WORKING US

Do not be too hasty in swallow
ing everything you read in the large
daily newspapers of the country. If
the administration that happens to
be in power, or some foreign gov
ernment, or some great financial
combination wants to put some
thing over on us they flood these
papers with propaganda.
Other people like to do your
thinking for you, and often they
resort to misleading propaganda in
order to bring you around to their
way of thinking. Beware what you
swallow, lest you be strangled in
the operation.
