But this incident raises the in- teresting question: What is beauty worth to a woman? Is a girls face in reality her fortune?
 A chorus of feminine voices will answer Yes" Woman will say that the first question a man ever asks about a woman concerns her looks. He never inquiries if a strange woman is intelligent, or good, or interesting, or amiable. He asks, "Is she pretty?"

the West began to array itself
against the East in the matter Of

In. the western conference, as it
assembled today, the name of Will

some consideration will be given to

Of the final opinion to be expressed
by this western conference.
The result to date accordingly is
as follows:
Present Situation.
The White House is still keeping
Its hands off. The East and the
West are showing their divergen-
cies Of views by assembling it to
different and separate conferences
regarding the vice presidential
problem. Neither conference has
so far issued decision. In the
eastern conference much was made
or Hartford of Kansas, in an appeal
to ex-service men and to the spirit
or patriotism. In the western con-
ference much is likely to be made
OF William S. Kenyon of Iowa, in
an appeal to the rebellious north
west and to the welfare of farmers.
SO there we stand, still at the
crossroads, with ten or twenty or
thirty possible roads issuing from
it.

F|L|P|NOS FIGHT
PRAISE Of
WOOD
Start War on Platform Plank
lndorsing Generals
Administration
BY GEORGE e. DURNO,
International News Service.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June lin
1920. at Chicago, Major General
Leonard Wood proved to be one Of
the biggest figures in the Republi.
can convention. Today it appeared
the general might furnish this
years convention a little excite
ment-and this despite the fact he
is several thousand miles away
from Cleveland.
Philippine Independence and the
Wood administration Of these islands
have bodied up to confound the
platform builders.
A tentative plank on the Phillip
pines, devoted entirely to an en-.
dorsement and eulogy Of the Wood
Philippine regime, has been drawn
up. The Philippine independence
mission is in town fighting any
mention of the general tooth and
nail.
The Filipinos feel that any incor-
Ooration in the Republican platform
Of a Wood eulogy not only would
be unnecessary, but in fact, would
be the proverbial last straw.

going to throw caution to the winds
and adopt the good old American
method Of playing politics. They're
going to sling mud with, gusto and
they won't care who they hit just
as long as it's General Wood.
The plank in question reads as
follows: ''Under the able admins
tration Of Governor General Wood
the best interests Of the Philippine
Islands have been preserved, edu-
cation has been advanced and sub
stantial progress has been made by
the native population toward fitness
toward self-government. This en-
couragement, kindly guidance and
cooperation should be continued"
The Filipinos deny they have
had encouragement, kindly guidance
or cooperation from Wood, and it
is understood IL the Republican
platform should insist such is the
case they are prepared to endeavOr
to prove otherwise.

Pure Oil Company is $150,000,0 900
concern. Very recently Dawes bank
fioated $15,OO0,OOO bond issue for the
Pure Oil Company.
AS a man, the capitalist newspaper
and magazine scribblers find Dawes a
favorite subject. Some go into costa
cies about his pipe and his eccentric
collar; others write reams about his
love for profanity, dear to the secret
heart of all "go-getters" and rabbits.
One writer in Golfers Weekly spent
about 1900 words telling why a
French writer was justified in calling
Dawes "The man you cannot do"
Dawes has been called alternately a
banker, a statesman, a soldier, a
lawyer, an engineer, but never has,
he been designated a politician by
the kept press.
Macauley tells Of Frederick the
Great, busy in affairs of war and state
with a quire of bad verse in one
pocket and vial Of poison in the other:
Dawes carries Alice-in-Wonderlan
stories and mediocre music compo-
sicns in one portfolio, and trick pipe
in his vest pocket. Like Frederick
the Great, who acted in every capa-
city and department then known to
government, Dawes wants to be con-
sidered as a self-sufficient, allaround
man-soldier, when necessary; banker
when profitable, engineer when a
large gas company needs to be organ
lied, and musician to round out so
many sided character. Frederick
the Great hired Voltaire to appreciate
his "pingly" poetry; Dawes negotia-
ties with Fritz Kreisler to play his
pieces.
There is story told Of how Dawes
used his Alice-in-W Wonderland stories
during an unusually bitter and in
tensely acrimonious debate between
allied war purchasing agents. Dawes
stopped the proceedings and drew
from his pocket some of his own fairy
stories, read them, thereby relieving
the tense situation.
By training, by nature, and because
of class position, He'll an Maria is the
most likely Mussolini America has
yet pushed into the limelight. Strike
breaker Coolidge could find no better
aid than the experienced militarized-
labor expert; than the organizer Of
the anti-labor Minute Men; than the
formulater of the plan, which, if put
into effect is destined to degrade, not
alone the German and American pro-
letariat, but the working class of the
world as well.

The Man With the Air-Cooled Pipe

who was also a close friend and fellow
bank director, became director-gen-
eral of railways during the war. And
again Dawes connections bring him
into the prominence which this time
had back of it enough momentum to
thrust him into the vice-presidential
nomineeship.
Dawes became general purchasing
agent Of the American and Allied
forces. In his journal of the Great
War" Dawes tells how he got the job.
The very first picture in the book is
that of S. M. FELTON, and Dawes devo-
ties a paragraph in red ink to the
fact that FELTON, placed 100000, 900
worth of war contracts the first year
he held his job as director-general of
railways. However, He'll an Maria
does not inform us whether it was the
graft possible in the expenditure of
the huge sums he would handle and
the contracts he had authority to
make that gave him the incentive to
leave his prosperous bank.
While in France, He'll an Maria
became intimately acquainted with
most Of the allied bankers and indu-
strialists. He formed an intimate
friendship with Louis Loucheur, then
French minister of ornaments, and
Frances foremost industrial capitalist
and imperialist manipulation.
At the close of the war, one Of the
problems that faced purchasing-agent
Dawes was that of disposing of the
vast aggregation of military supplies
in the war zones. Dawes accomplish
ed his job in his usual brusque man
ner, and, as far as we know, did not
make many personal notations on
what he did. When the smoke and
din of war cleared a hit and there
was much talk aboutxrafA in war con-
tract letting, about the yidiculously
low price received fox war supply ma
terials, about the coll0sal wastage in
disposing Of American 9tmy stGres\ in
france, congress began to ask dues
tions, and Dawes was-called as a
witness. The sQuare-faced Lincoln
Nebraska, barrister, lately brigadier
general was pressed hard for informa
ton. This was new to him. In France
he controlled the very lives Of his
10000 militarized miners. He had
answered to no one but himself and
his boyhood friend, Black Jack Per
shing. Under oath now and question
ed closely Dawes spurted out-shriek
ing in a high-pitched voice-"Hen an
Maria, l was sent over to do a job
and I did it, He'll an Maria" And
ever since Hell an Maria" is the
name by which all the capitalist vir.
tues, blunt business demeanor, wanton
and reckless disregard for pussyfoot
ing economy, fearless anti-labor
policy and tenacity of purpose Of
Charles G. Dawes is epitomized.
Dawes is also interested in oil. His
brother, Benman Gates Dawes is pres
ident of the Pure Oil Company and

mislead him, the Central Trust Com
pany permitted Lorimer's bank to
issue S1,25O,O00 check on it, though
the money never left the vaults of
the Central Trust Company, and it
was never intended that any money
should be transferred to the crumb-
ling LaSalle State Bank. When the
crash came, Dawes bank refused to
be responsible for the $1,25O,00O, and
the matter lodged in the state courts
for nine years, being, finally decided
against Dawes Central Trust Com
pany, by the Illinois Supreme Court,
(Vol. 312, p. 1861 In the lower court,
the Central Trust Company was order
ed to pay S97S,O29,11 as its share in
the bankruptcy, but the higher court
set the amount at $165,000 and levied
the costs against He'll an Maria's in
stitution ION the ground that the liti-
cation was made necessary by the
wrongful acts of the Central Trust
Company"
He'll an Maria even while an OBJ
scure banker began to think about
the labor question. In his book 1.-The
Banking System of the United States, -
he declares that labor is a commodi.
ty and must be treated as such.
Charlie has not only studied the
theoretical enslavement of labor in
his position as banker, but has had
considerable experience in the actual
exploitation of workers on a large
scale. During the war he was in
charge Of 10000 miIitarized French
miners, and he tells with great pride
in his journal Of the Great War;
how well and skillfully he was able
to handle his labor supply and get
results. Besides, Dawes had direct
control over hundreds of thousands
of British and American munition
workers.
So it is mistake to think that He'll
an Maria was revealing new twist
in his character when in st. Augustine
Florida, April LIST, 1923 at a meeting
Of bankers, railroad directors, and
OICCA AAd6ndtCoS uO UCCldlCQ IudL lit
had urged President Harding to make
the open shop one Of the major planks
in his reelection campaign.
Shortly after the Augustine decla
ration, Dawes, at luncheon in Chi
cago attending by Chicago's leading
bankers, manufacturers and business
men, organized his Minute Men OF
the Constitution" an organization
whose rabid anti-labor policy has
evoked even the wrath Of some of the
yellowest leaders Of the American Fe
deration of Labor. The Minute Men
comes closer to a clear-cut Fascist
formation than any other existing
anti-labor group in the United States
for unlike the Ku Klux Khan, the mi
mute Men" make purely national and
