cases to erect headstoneS on all
the unknown graves"
The percentage of unidentified
graves is largest in the Darda-
nelles, only 1913 graves have been
identified in Gallipoli, in addition
to asst in the different islands of
the Aegean. In Irak out of nearly
1000 deaths. only 169 graves have
so far been identified.
It is mentioned that the govern
mentS represented on the commits
sion have agreed in principle that
they will regard as war graves the
graves of members of the mer-
camille marine who lost their lives
through enemy action during the
war.
Where known graves exist head
stones will be erected similar to
those erected on the graves in the
military cemeteries. The great
majority, however, were lost at
sea and have no known graves.
The method Of concentrating
these Is under consideration.
Negotiations are also proceeding
with the Germans regarding the
Interpretation of the clauses of the
peace treaty relating to war

tions the commission decided that

casualties during the war were ap-

question of how to treat them is
a difficult one. For instance, in
one cemetery there are 2.193 un-

are put UP over the grave, two out

unknown graves, they would ap-

Mrs. Cora e. Groat, manager
Of a large beauty parlor in a

recently:

them?"
Florence Mcdonald, demonstra-
tor Of beauty mixtures, says:
"One woman who has men
boarders comes in every week
and buys from five to seven jars
of our beauty cream"
And the awful habit is increas-
ing.
Miss Tessie Mcneil, who pre-
sides over a beauty counter in
another store, says:
There has been an increase of
more than 70 per cent in the
number of men who are buying
all kinds Of beauty preparations"
Miss Nellie Green, toilet article
salesgirl, says:
"Bell-bottom trousers, lip-stick,

shave the confidence and approval of

Another important thing is loyal

your employer feel that you are
sincere with him; that you are go

you are going to stand for the things
