Ask any of them and they will explain
to you in pretty much the same words.
Words which, translated into literal

For beauty without pep is-to borrow

gotten metaphors like an egg without

Greeks Didn't Say
Last Word of Beauty.

1t consequently comes as a refreshing
piece of news to hear that at least one
man has the courage of his esthetic con-
victions and is not afraid to put himself
on record in behalf of a truth which has
long been notorious. And that is that
the Greeks did not by any manner Of
means say the last word that is to be said
on feminine beauty, and that feminine
beauty, like everything else, must neces-
sarily be matter subject to shifting
standards Because the Greeks sub
scribed to the ideal of perfectly aquiline
features it does not follow that other
civilizations and other races may not be
justified in the display of prejudices
which are Numerically opposed. And
nothing could be much more opposed to
the classic ideal Of feminine beauty than
that of the American type evolved within
the last twenty-five or thirty years.
Indeed, the type is so distinct, the line
of demarcation from other types so sharp
and true that there is no difficulty in
dating its origin no more than in discov-
ering it's genesis. The American beauty
referred to-the Beauty of the Pug
has lowered out Of the so-called melt
ing pot She represents a hybrid of many
nationalities, and she is now in her first
poisoning Rarely, almost never, will
you find her more than rs years old, be-
cause the beautiful girls with pug noses
only began to come into existence with
the beginning of the last quarter of
century Up to that time girls with pug
noses were pretty much in the same class
as girls with red hair. At best they
might only hope to be pretty or fetching
or cute, or whatever else you choose to
call it. But beautiful? Never!
And with very good reason, because
pug nosed girls and girls with fiery locks
were in those unregenerate days just
about as beautiful as the traditional mud
fence, and nobody-not even the girls
themselves-ever attempted to blink the
awful fact 1t is true, of course, that a
large part of their ugliness lay in the
eve of the beholder. This was especially
true of the red hair Our Anglo-Saxon
forefathers and foremothers, Irish and
Scotch alike, were brought up firm in the
belief that red hair in itself constituted
a blemish upon any beauty, however fine,
and they knew naught OF the indulgent
prejudices which the Latin nations
have always entertained toward the
retrousse type of face. Did any of our
snubnosed mothers or grandmothers
ever have the consolation OF hearing
that feature alluded to as piquant or
charming?
They did not.
In those dear old days a spade was
a spade, and a pug nose was pug nose.

reasonably straight and sufficiently Saas,

COOPERATION WORKS
Dry Force Merger Stops Rum Running
But Moonshining Increases.

That the bootlegger is finding 1t
easier to manufacture liquor in this
country rather than to run the risk
Of smuggling liquor across the Next
can border, is indicated by the report
of the seizure of a still near San
Diego, Duval county, Friday, by state
and federal officers.
Seventy-six bottles Of tequila were
also confiscated and several arrests
were made, according to reports re-
ceived here.
That cooperation among law en-
forcement officers of the border coun-
try exists in reality rather than theory
is indicated by the membership OF tire
raiding party. which included Sheriff
Olivares of Duval county. Customs
Inspectors Wright and Hearn, and
Immigrant Inspectors Peavy and Har'
rell.
Within the last two weeks there
have been reports of two seizures Of
stills made in the border territory
Federal officials are of the opinion
that there are several contributors
forces that are driving the rum-run-
ner to the occupation of moonshining.
Chief of these factors. they believe
is the spirit of cooperation that has
been engendered among the officers of
the border country.
Another factor is the stern pro-
visions of the tariff laws which make
possible the infliction of a heavier
penalty than could be imposed under
the national prohibition act.

as possible the analgamation of the
Presbyterian, Methodist and Congre-
gational churches of Canada into one
body were considered today by lead
