This person drew the neck and in turn passed it on, folding it so that only the lines were shown where the body was to be- gin This was continued until the drawing had body, legs and feet. Then everybody wrote a line of verse, folding the paper so that only the last word showed. They then passed it on, the next person writing line of verse to rhyme with the last word of the preceding line Four lines were written The papers were then giv- en back to the original owners. You can imagine what funny pictures were drawn and what funny verse was written. The time passed all too quick.

This is to women who wish to know

France. Lucie Lantelme, the famous
Partisan beauty, gave me the for
mula. Some French scientist gave It
to her.
1t contains no animal. no vegetable
fat. So It does not grow hair on the
face. It cannot assimilate in any
way with the skin. 1t simply cleans
to the depths. then departs. And all

goes with It.

I call this cleanser my Facial Youth

wrinkle combatant.
1t is SO efficient that all my stage
friends use 1t in removing makeup.
And that is n major test.

CHAPTER II.

BERLIN, Aug, 17.-(unted Press).-PrinceE itel-Fried-
rich, the ex-Kaisers second son, has turned farmer.
He has obtained a small farm in connection with his Pots
dam holdings and there daily he may be seen following the
plough or strewing seed from a sack bound round him, or
lnerforminp other tasks of the ordinary farmer.
, 1923-08-17

His farm work is partly intended to
reduce n waist-line growing alarming
ly large despite his youth-he is only
80. And It is partly due TO the fact
that the royal prince nc longer has
plenitude of gold which was his in the
days when Germany was a monarchy.
Keeps His Uniform.
Besides being farmer. the prince
finds time to conduct the manifold af-
fairs of the Hohenzollern house. its
struggles to get a financial settlement
with the new republic, and also from
time to time put on the field gray
uniform for m~onarchist's meetings.

Wide Divergence In Prices
On Farms And In Stores

December Is, 1922 was 81 cents
per pound, being an increase OF
z per cent over last year, but 4
per cent less thar in 1913. This
means that the consumer is pay
ing Sc per cent more for his steak
tan in 1913 while the farmer is
receiving 4 per cent less for his
cattle than he did in 1918. The
cheaper cuts, such as chuck
roast and plate beef, do not show
such a wide spread, but are about
10 per cent higher than in 1913.
To illustrate how the gap be-
tween producer and consumer
has widened, the retail price of
sirloin steak in 1918 was four
times the farm price Of beef
cattle, in 1920 six time, in 1921
slightly over seven times and in
1922 81 times.
Other foods also show slight
decrease in the gap. For instance
the retail price of pork chops
in 1922 was 3.5 times the farm
price of hogs; while in 1921 the
retail price was SO times, and
in 1915 only 2.5 times the farm
price. The retail price of bread
lin 1922 was 4.3 times the farm
price of wheat against As times
i in 1921 and 3.4 times in 1913. The
retail price of corn meal in 1922
was 2.8 times the farm price OF
corn, while in 1921 the retail
was S.2 times the farm price
and only 1.9 times in 1913.
Both he farm and retail prices
Of chickens and eggs were lower
i'm 1922 than in 1921, but the
farm price dropped faster thar
the retail, as is usually the case
so that the gap is slightly wider
than last year. The retail price

Brigand Leader
Shows Humanity

Paris, March 3.-Corsician bri-
gands have a feeling of humanity
and Corsician peasants have a
sense of humor. Both were dis
played after a recent airplane
accident which cost the lives of
four passengers when the ma
chine in which they were flying
from the south of France to
Ajaccio, the capital of the Island,
crashed a few miles from its des
tination.
Two hours after the accident
police were on the scene. They
were astounded to find the bodies
of the four victims ranged in line
some distance from the wreck of
the airplane' their faces covered
with pieces of cloth, their money
and other valuables lying beside
them. Nearby was the wireless
operator of the machine, who was
badly wounded but alive. His in
juries had been attended to by a
master hand at giving first aid.
"Romanetti, the bandit, was
the first to arrive after the ac-
cident," peasants told the police.
"He ordered US to keep watch
over the money until you arrived.
"He might have waited" said
one of the policemen. "We would
have liked to thank him."S
aOh, retorted the peasant with
a malicious grin. He is too
modest. He preferred not to wait
for ycur thanks"

Japan About To
Recognize Soviet

Tokyo, March 3.-For the third
time Japan and Russia are trying
to reach a commercial agree
ment-which. if made, will ulti-
mately lead to Japan's diplomats
recognition to the Moscow govern
ment, the Russians believe.
Abram Abramovitch Joffe Mos
cows envoy to Peking and, IN
general, the Soviet ambassador IN
the Far East, has come to Tokyo
"on a personal visit and unoffic-
ial mission" which, of course, is
intended to pave the way to an
understanding which will lead to
official parleys.
Joffe was invited to visit ia
pan by Viscount Goto, Mayor of
Tokyo, very influential Japa>
nese leader, and possible next
Premier of Japan. Goto is pres
ident of the Russo-Japanese So
ciety here and is a strong influ-
ence for a more liberal policy to-
ward Russia.
At the same time Toshihiko
Kawakami a Japanese diplomat,
has been sent on a social mission
to Moscow, and has returned TO
Tokyo favorably disposed toward
resumption of Japanese-Russian
Kawakami was former
" Japanese Consul General at
Warsaw and Consul General at
Moscow. at Hardin and at other
Siberian cities. He speaks Rus
sian. is one of the au-
thorities on Russian at
fairs. His recommendations to
the Tokyo government, coupled
wit Joffe' persoal appearance
here, indicate that tentative un-
derstandings are under way.
r 1--WE cannot afford for third
Russian conference to fall" a
Foreign Office official said to the
United States.
1.-THE conference at Dairen be-
tween Japan and the Far Eastern
Republic and the conference at
Changchung between Japan the
Soviet government of Moscow
and the Far Eastern Republic,
both failed. Now the Far East
ern Republic is no more. Siberia
is under Moscow. If there is a
third conference Japan must
know, before entering it, that an
agreement will be reached"
Which mesns ehat the manou-
vering going on now is an effort
to reach a Japanese-Russian
agreement and then to call a for
NAL conferene to make it official
