House but slightly over $500.
Saving of 81, 200.
Here was az saving Of approx
mately $1,700.
The President decided that It was
his duty to save this amount for
the government, thereby setting a
personal example Of the economy
that he has steadily preached to
the country.
An annual allowance of S25. 900
is provided for Presidential travel.
What &emains at the end OF the
year goes hack to the Treasury
Most Presidents In recent wears
have used it all-some of them
more. which came out OF their
salaries. Taft did regularly. Wilson
did until he fell i'll.
The wisdom of Mr.. Coolidge to
travel as an ordinary passenger
and save this $1,700 became a sub
ject of heated debate in official
circles today.
Warmly Applauded.
Some warmly applauded. him tor
setting an example Of thrift to the
country, and said IL such a spirit
could be communicated to all in the
government service the national
debt would show greater reduction,
and taxes would be less burden
some.
On the other hand, his decision
came in for some equally warm
criticism in some quarters.
There were those who held that
the American public expected to
see its Chief Executives travel in
the dignity that goes with the Of
flee, and in the safety and comfort
that the law has thrown around
the Presidency.
These latter held that economy is
all right in it's place, but that for
a saving of $1,70O, a President OF
the United States should not sub
ject himself to the inconveniences-
IL not perils--that are incident to
ordinary travel.
Ignores Criticism.
This criticism, adverse and fay.
orable, has reached Mr.. CooIidEe's
ears. 1t has really beaten about
his ears since the announcement
was made of his decision to 60 to
Chicago as an ordinary passenger.
1t has had little effect, however.
MIR. Coolidge is going to AAAax it
once anyway" And meanwhile he
is going to save $1,7Q0.
The national capital is profoundly
interested in the experiment.

After speaking Americas de-
termination not to engage in any

The sound that had interrupted the

change in the mood of his companion.
Almost hypnotized, she had listened to
his full, rich voice as he unburdened
his heart to her, She had been moved
by the thought that he cared for her,
that his love was hers for the asking.
Then had come the sound that had
startled her and jerked her back to the

rified at the revelation, his parishioners

Proper Care OF
Neck IooOften
Neglected

A rather amusing request for an ar
ticle came the other day from a young
man Of my acquaintance. was sur
prised at the suggestion, which showed
an observation of details of women
appearance that / don't think women
always realize is being given. His re-
quest was why don't you write an
article on the care that should be
given to the. back Of woman's neck
So many times she will be charming
looking from the front while the back
of her neck will be unattractive and
| ill-cared for"
think there is some foundation for
this complaint. As matter of fact,
there are two things that think wom-
en- are apt to overlook, both of which
are very important to their whole ap-
pearance. One is the aforementioned
back of the neck. The other Is the
care of the hands, about which / will
have something to say in another ar
ticle.
There are many ways in which wom-
en- neglect to consider their necks, or
/ may say, to give their necks the no
tice that they should have-not only
the back. but the whole neck! How
many times does one see woman with
a face that is powdered and roughed,
with the powder ending rather abruptly
at the chin and side of the face, and
below that decidedly different colored
neck. There is nothing more incon-
gruous or absurd than this effect, ex-
cept perhaps the terrifically white nose
which does not allow one look at any
other feature. The throat is one of the
surest indicators of age 4a
IL
which are in many cases thought about
and fought in the face, are very often
neglected in the throat. Yet that is q
place where they are extremely unat-
tractive because they are SO noticeable.
1t is not only people who are grow
ing slightly older who should give their
necks attention, but the young people as
we'll. I think they often forget to take
their heads and necks before going
out This should always be done.
There is nothing more unattrnctive
than hair struggling down the back of
the neck and yet this is often allowed
to occur when the front hair may be
very carefully dressed. I think woman
should study the hair line at the back
when deciding In what way to ar
range her hair, just as much as she
should study the front.
If woman feels that she must make
up her face to a color that is really not
natural personally / think it is a great
mistake, but many do IT'D, she should
certainly be sure to make up her neck
the corresponding color. Also she
should keep it as clean, applying as
many creams-perhaps even more
than she does on her face.
There are many times when a wom-
an can quite deceive you as to her age
when looking at her face, but if you
catch a glimpse of the back of her neck
the illusion is gone. And as for the
younger women, with the "boyish-bob-
bed" hair apparently attaining popu-
larity greater than ever, the appear
ance of the neck bids fair to become a
subject deserving more and more
consideration.

II Is Dangerous
To Expect Foo
Much
By RIJTH LEIGH

employment and seeking position. He
promised me a long time ago that if
sver needed help could call on him. "
was rather sorry to hurt this young
gentleman's self-assurance, but in all
frankness I could not but tell him a
very human truth: For some reason
folks offer help freely when we don't
need it. Let us get in difficulties, need
help or funds, and curiously enough
the very friends who had SO open-hand.
eddy offered help are frequently tbs
ones most blind TO our plight. That
may be a cynical, unpleasant truth
but truth it is. For some reason or
other, when we're down and out, even
the friends we had counted on seem OBJ
hvious to our needs.
i. Not all friends, perhaps. There are
always those tried and true ones who
are friends no matter what our cir
eumstances. But | refer now to the
majority of persons who are always
very free to offer help when we don t
need 1T.
What is. the moral of this? Simply
this: That it is not well to count too
much on the assistance of friends,
relatives or acquaintance. l have seen
young men and women place all their
faith, future and dependence on
q promise casually made by an ac-
quaintance. Naturally. when that
friend failed to make god on promises,
even seemed a little Indifferent to re-
quests for help, we'll, these young folk
were sorely grieved and hurt.
4 1t is all because they expect too
much from people. ] have discovered
that if you don't expect much from
folks you are never disappointed. It
is far better to go along without too
high expectations and to be surprised
when good things turn up than it is to
be constantly disappointed because peo-
pie do not measure up to the ideals
you set for them.
This applies particularly to persons
who freely tell you to call on me when
ever you need job or if you get in
financial difficulties" Promises too
freely made are seldom so freely kept.
1t is better not to place too much
faith in the casual biddings of friends
than it is TO depend on them. The
only one person you can absolutely
bank on is yourself and il you do so
you'll never be disa popinted.
