BE ACTIVE IN
HIS CAMPAIGN
BY WILLIAM J. LOSH
United Press Staff Correspondent

PLYMOUTH, VT, Aug. 22.-
President Coolidge has decided to
take far more active part in the
campaign than was originally map
ped out for him by campaign man
ayers, it was learned here today.
He will accept speaking engage
ments within Il reasonable distance
from Washington, selecting from
flood Of invitations those which
appear to offer the best opportu-
mites for explaining his own views.
Mr.. Coolidge has recognized his
opponents are making fight on
fundamental economic issues and he
believes that personal utterances
will emphasize his stand on them
more than when broadcasted by his
army of stump speakers. This he
feels was demonstrated by the re-
ceipt Of his speech of acceptance.
To Speak Aug. 20
The president will make his first
speech in Washington at the fra
fernal congress August 20, just be-
fore returning from his vacation
in Vermont. Acceptance of this
speaking engagement was "hio"i.Ne"

he has accepted in September sixth

Getting Shingle Bob Which
 Satisfies

IF YOU have .shinsle bob'' it may
 happen that there is one piece of
 hair which persists in being unruly, hanging in one eye most of the time or otherwise getting out of step with the rest of your coiffure.
 Now the first part of the cure is the most difficult of all. You must find an intelligent barber. Have him part your hair first in the center and shingle it as though it were the way you intended wearing it. Then have him part 1t on the left side and shingle it from that angle. The hair is then parted on the right side and subjected to further shipping. It sounds as if you would emerge wittV d curious sort of haircut, but if it is ddne properly you will find that no matter which way your hair falls 1t will always be smooth. You can wear the parting one place or another and it seems to make no difference. It is also the ideal way to have your hair cut if there is no parting to be seen at all, which seems to be the fashion with 90 many girls these days. It all depends, how. eyer, upon the. artist of the scissors into whose hands you trust your fair head. But 1t is worth trying for, as 1t is the most comfortable thing inn aginable to have a haircut that cannot get out of place.

LISTENING IN ON EYE

 o Aunt Rachel last Tuesday night when she answered my knock at the door of her room in the Bayshore hotel.
 'Why, nothing's the matter, Aunt Rachel, dear" I told her. "I just thought I'd drop in and stay all night with you"
 Stay all night with me? But, Lu- cile, it's 12 o'clock. How did you get here this time of night? Is anything wrong at home?"
 ''Of course not, aunty. Don't be alarmed. You see, was at a little bridge party not far from here, and told my escort that he needn't take me all that long way home; that I was glad of chance to havesa real quiet little visit with you. You know just love to have you all to myself some times"
 .'Well, I don't love to be awakened up in the middle of the night to visit with any one. I had been asleep two hours, Lucille"
 "Oh, I'm sorry if I disturbed you, but you've always been such a good sport that it never entered my head you would mind my surprising you. I thought you would think it was fun. Aren't you the least little bit glad, darling, to see your adoring niece?"

 took heart again. Soon after we had gone to, the living room l said I must be excused for a while to call upon Uncle Robert. He had not been at the office all day. "Your uncle is very wealthy. isn't hey Mrs. Brooks asked.
 "He is considered fairly well to do," I replied. T should think he would want you and Natalie to live with him. He must be very selfish old man to keep that big house all to himself"
 Uncle Robert is very kind, very generous" I said, checking an impulse to speak straight to the point. T have no wish to live with him. We are young, enjoy company. He loves quiet. Everything is arranged very satisfac- torily so far as I am concerned. And am quite sure Natalie is satisfied with her own home."
 I distinctly heard another sniff as I left the room.
 Now l was sure Natalie had written about her fancied wrongs. In no other way could she have known about Uncle's house and affairs. But I soon dismissed my momentary uneasiness from my thoughts. Far more disturbing was Uncle Roberts disposition.
 I spent a quiet evening with him dis. cussing business and other things. l told him of Mrs Brooks arrival and he expressed his disappointment because he could not pay his respects at once.
 Just as soon as I feel little better I will have dinner for her." he told me as bade him goodnight.
 As entered our apartment heard Natalie and her mother talking earnest. ly. They were unpacking Mrs. Brooks trunk. I gave them Uncles message then fingered, amused at Natalie's re. marks as she inspected her mothers wardrobe.
 'I shall take you shopping the first thing in the morning. These dresses may be all right out home, but here-'
 "Pm sorry you don't like them" her mother answered with what in 8 younger woman would have been a pout, but was a grimance.
 "We11 soon remedy that" Natalie re turned, flinging one of the obnoxious dresses aside.
 Nothing more was said and we soon retired, Natalie grumbling that she haG been obliged to refuse an invitation from the Morton's to dance.

Bobbed Hair

Our feeling about bobbed hair is that it is a matter of beans, not brains- or morals. We mean that if your head be the right shape and, your hair the right thickness, you probably look charming with your hair bobbed--and if you be a thin-haired nathead you probably look like sin. But we've reached the point where it isn't the girls heads that worry us--it's those of the men.
 Is it an epidemic of softening of the brain? Or are we merely dealing with a fixed idea? Agent men ever, EVER going to get tired of TALKING about bobbed hair-whether one should or shouldn't, whether they do or don't, if it's becoming, or immoral, or lu- natic fringe?
 Here are just few; masculine utter : ances on the bob during the week:
 British scientists, headed by a eugen. ist,s Dr. Karl Pearson, declare that no woman can be perfect without bobbed hair. The girl who still clings to wom- ans crowning glory has "a silhouette which lacks charm and looks a trifle ,matronly." (HorrorsD
 John E. Andrus, capitalist, is quoted as saying that women with bobbed hair ':haye a screw loose," Superintendent Baker of the State Reformatory for Women at Bedford disagree. He says 90 per cent. of his charges are hobbed, and that many women cut their hair because they feel those who do not do it are "old maids"
 Believe us, we're not keeping a clip ping bureau on this topic Here are just the casual items we collected in a week of newspaper reading. What did the dear men used to find to talk about?' There isn't nearly as much bobbed hair on the flapper's mind (if only) as on that of the male!

THE TREND OF FASHION
m HE versatility of pleats is
 Il amazing when one considers .ll fha different effActs that can


 amazing when one considers
 the different effects that can be achieved by utilizing this form of trimming. Skirts are composed of pleated tiers pressed out flat at the hem to give slight flare. Marrow pleated panels add the slender ap- pearance of the silhouette, and the pleated apron tied in front instead of in the back is an established fashion feature of the season. This is especially attractive when seen on frocks of printed silk.
 From Palm Beach and other southern resorts come reports that pleated dresses of striped silk, as well as those of crepe de Chine in the new bright or delicate colors have been much in vogue and their popularity, it is said, will continue through the summer. On several of these frocks designs are formed by drawn threads and the material is then laid in fine pleats. The ;ef- feet is extremely pretty.
 An attractive model to ernpha- size the chic of pleats Is shown in the accompanying sketch. It is soft shade of cocoa brown and the fashion of crepe de Chine in . pleated panels are held in place by pockets embroidered in brown and gold. Of special interest is the scarf of brown crepe lined with gold color chiffon.
 Attracting attention because of their novelty, are frocks made of mems shirting pleated from neck to hem and with Eton collars of the material frequently stiffened like the collars of small boys.

 Natalie made no reply, unless a pro. digious yawn were one, and was soon asleep.
 In the morning both she and her mother appeared at breakfast dressed for the street. e,
 Please order me car," Natalie said. r"We shall need it all the morning."
 l did as she asked and as it came before left had them drop me at the subway.
 'Show your mother the sights" I said as bade them goodbye and en- tered the cavern of business men. "Only the shops today" she an- swered.
 Uncle Robert was not at the office. I was worried and telephoned his physi- elan. He treasured me, saying he thought nothing really serious the mat ter. But I knew Uncle was very weak, that he was desperately tired, that his dear old heart had come as near to be- ing broken as human hearts ever come because of his grief over his wife, and that now he was lonely, that he missed me, the long intimate talks that had taken his mind from her. For a mo- ment l wished he had accepted Nata- lies offer to be mistress of his home. Then l was glad he had not listened. He was happier with his memories than he would have been with her unconsid- cred gaiety. attended to my duties with heavy heart.

 "No indeed" For half an hour we discussed the affair, then as it was luncheon time I asked her to lunch with me.
 Are you sure it won't ruin youl reputation?" she asked as we left thu office.

My Neighbor Says:


 In laundering waists with frills, the pleats may be kept looking new if pasted onto a piece of cheesecloth. This holds the pieats in position. Do not remove the cheescloth until the frill is thoroughly dry.
 A good floor polish may be made by mixing four ounces 6fs beeswax, a piece of resin the size of hickory nut, and one quart of turpentine. Pound the resin and cut up the bees- wax. Then melt together. When they are melted take them away from the fire and stir in a quart of turpentine. Rub little of this on the floor with piece df flannel and then polish with dry flannel and brush. s-
 After filling rubber water bottle with hot water, it is good plan to press the sides of the bottle together before putting in the stopper. This allows all the steam to escape, no matter how hot the water may be.
 To set colors in gingham, put F cup of vinegar, 15 cup of salt and 1 small teaspoonful of alum in a pail of lukewarm water. Soak the gar ment in this for 1 hour before wash ing, being careful to leave it out in the sun only long enough to dry it.

We Women By BETTY sRAiMERO
Birds

0It0S
 THE peacock is a symbol of urida
 and vanity. We are all familiar
 with the phrase, ''as proud as A peacock" But pity, do not envy. the peacock. Nature gave the peacock a beautiful gown of gorgeous feathers. Nature was kind to the peacock. The peacock, on the other hand, is unkind to itself. It has brought itself into d1srepute. It does nothing but strut. It IS just peacock. It has a beauti- ful gown of gorgeous feathers. That's all. It is just a peacock.
 There are a number of women who are like peacocks. We consciously and otfensively try to capitalize a gift which it were better for us to close our eyes to. Beauty is skin deep. It isn't really important or vital, fundamental ly. The beauty of a peacock isn't even skin deep. Strip it of it's feathers and 1t becomes less attractive than a plucked chicken. As a food it is unfit. There are some things to be said for 6 we'll cooked chicken even if it does not ap- pear so attractive in real life as a pea cock.
 Fine feathers, of course, do not make fine birds. The peacock is beautiful, but it is also vulgar. Vanity is vulgar. The peacock is vain, and vanity is not virtue. Neither is beauty. Clothes do not make the man. Feathers do not make the bird or woman. Pride cometh before a fall. The peacock teaches a lesson or at least holds a warning for us. Watch your step. Do not be vain or strut in a sense of false pride. The fall will come if you do.

The goldfish is not so fortunate. It caE- not sing; but 1t does make the best of it poor fish-and doesn't strut. It is not vain. It, too, is beautiful: but the corollary Is also true of the goldfish.
