NEW York. - The rea son
son some women make up their
faces in deep ochres and mahogany
tones and others initiate the pink
and cream hues of the peach Is not,
primarily, vanity it's their way of
responding to the color impulse.
This is the theory of Harriet
Keith Fobes, jewel expert, who has
a genius for putting every gem in
its most artistic mounting, and who
has delved into the history, chem
istry and mineralogy of every known
stone.
This color impulse is manifesting
itself in millinery, gowns shoes, ac-
c~essories and in Jewels" she says
Women wan more color around
them, more on their faces, and in
their lives. They are getting ready
for a renaissance of beauty and gor-
geousness such as never has been
experienced before.
Women are learning to wear col
or more effectively, and are develop
ing much more taste about their
facial makeup. The time will come
when every woman will work out
her own color harmonies and her
own personality colors, and then the
problem of dressing will practically
be solved"

P|NCHOT TELLS
Of PROGRESS
Made by State of PennsyIva-
mia in Enforcing Prohibition
Addresses Women

HARRISBURG, Pa. Nov. Eff
| the federal administration had been
| using its prohibition enforcement
powers as completely as the Penn
sylvania state administration has
been using its powers "the enforce
ment question would be troubling
no one either in Harrisburg, or
Washington" Governor Pinchot de-
clared in an address before the
PENNSYLVANIA State Council of Re
publican Women here today. The
governor spoke on ten months in
office-A report of progress"
The governor cited what he term
ed, 1.-THE three principal promises"
in his campaign platform-to drive
all saloons out of the state and to
prevent and punish bootlegging;"
to keep the expenses of the state
within it's income and to reorganiZe
the state government and 'get a dol
lars worth of service for every dol
lar spent
Governor Pinchot said that in full
fillment of the first pledge the legis-
lature "under pressure from the d
ministration, passed a law which
outlawed the saloon in Pennsylva-
MIA"
INC pressure IFOlIl Ille uIeWiA5,
distilling and Bookkeeping interests"
he added, !" 1t later refused to pass
two laws for which the administra-
ton asked, one to give control of
breweries the other to give control
of distilIeries. If these two laws had
been enacted our present dependence
upon national enforcement of the
Volstead Gw would not exist, o
would the present flood of liquor be
debauching those of our people
whom it does not scandalize.
ut is we'll within the truth to say
that no state administration in
America is now making or has ever
made as hard a fight for law n
forcement as ours is making today"
AS to the second promise he de-
clared the running of the state gov
eminent will cost during the current
two years but three quarters of what
it cost in the last two years, and he
added, SO far as 1 am aware, no
such reduction in expenditure has
eve been made in any American
state"
There are no more state employees
in any department under the COVER
nor who are doing no work for the
pay they are drawing" he declared.
land so far as these departments are
concerned, the political soft snap has
vanished"

WILSON'S ADDRESS CAUSES
GREAT INTEREST IN PARIS

PARIS. Nov. 12:--The tenor of
former President Wilson's address.
broadcast throughout the United
States Saturday night, created a dis
agreeable impression here. This
feeling was not concealed in official
quarters, although there was stud
ious reserve in the comments forth
coming from them. Mr.. Wilson'S
reference to France as making
waste paper" of the treaty of Ver-
sailles was particularly resented.
One person familiar with the
French governments views declared
that this statement by the former
president was unfortunate, since the
only thing he had offered France, in
exchange for the measures of Sc
curity he refused to give her, was
afterwards treated as "a scrap of
paper"
