The rabbit gentleman kept his
promise-at least for the first few
days. Every morning, before start
ed out to look for an adventure he
would pour some water on the
rubber plant. And each night,
when he came back TO the bungalow,
il wasn't so lonesome without
Nurse Jane, because the rubber
plant was there to greet him.
Unclc Wiggily and the rubber
plant became very good friends,
even though the plant did not talk
much. But one morning Uncle Wig
J gily was in a hurry to 60 off ad-

night, TOO, and the next morning.
But the next night, when the

The rubber plant was glad Uncle
Wiggily was so kind and it wanted
TO something in the way of favor

il had the chance.

COOLIDGE VICTORY SIGNIFICANT

As David Lawrence says, the bat tleground for the presidency this year again will be in the West. That President Coolidge who is practically guaranteed the republican nomination on a platter will sweep the East, is virtually conceded. The struggle Of three candidates who probably will be in the lists for certain western states is the key to the solution of the election riddle.
 , 1t may be taken for granted that Senator Iafollette will be the third nartv candidate on radical plat form. He has authorized the state ment that he welld run if Coolidge were nominated on a conservative platform.
 Iafollette's hope is to carry several Middle Northwest states-including the Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin and possibly others. If he can win the electoral vote in this group there is a possibility that no candidate will have majority in the electoral col lege and the election then would be thrown into the house of representa- lives. Lafollette probably does not even hope to get majority ln the college. What he desires is to get a deadlock. He seeks to profit at the expense of both major parties on account of the oil and graft scan dals, drawing to his standard the radical the disgruntled, the so-called Independents.
 But there is a wide gulf between hope and fulfllment.
 The record of the North Dakota presidential vote is significant. II the first place it eliminated Hiram Johnson as an opponent of Coolidge He ran third in the race and the president led Lafollett by more thar 14O0O. The significance of the re suit is that the test was in a state which for several years has beer under non-partisan control and tha1 has sent two non-partisan leaguers tC the United States senate. The Vo ters of a supposedly radical state paid a fine compliment to president whose opponents are trying to picture

MIXED RACE SCHOOLS
 QUESTION AT SITKA
(Sitka Tribune.)

The School Question, i.e., entering Indian children in the Public Schools has been raised by MT. Paul. No one else raised the question, but it caused so much discussion that to get at the bottom of the matter a personal call was made on promi- nent Indian business man ill Sitka village, who, in reply to the ques- tion, Do you consider Indian chil- dred should attend the Public School?" said, Not while they are small, they could not keep up with the white children, but if boy or girl can go through the eight grades and the Bureau of Education has no provision for High School instruction, these children should be allowed to enter the Public Schools for the High School course" This mat ter also came up at a recent meeting of the City Council, when ways and means for securing new public school building were discussed. MT. Andrew Hope, a councilman, said that as far as he was concerned, he only wanted to see room in the new building for an Indian child to take the High School course.
 The Bureau of Education has fall en down badly in Sitka in not pro- viding better buildings for the edu- cation of Indian children. The funds for this come from the U. s. Treas ury. A new public school building is sorely needed The funds for this building must be raised by the City of Sitka. A new Bureau of Educa- tion school would take care of the Indian children for many years to come, and here is where MT. Paul could do much good, if he used his influence for school, instead of over an issue for which the time is not ripe.

| NAH JONGC NAMED
 IN DIVORCE PLEA

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14.-Fer- dinand Freiman is so tired of cooking his own meals while his wife Sara plays nah jongg, that he has brought suit for divorce.
 In his complaint filed in the San Francisco Superior Court, Freiman al leges that his wife has habitually neglected his home for her nah jongg and card parties, and that he has been compelled, even when ill, to pre- pare his own meals-three of them a day. He was left alone while bed ridden, he claims, because of his wife's penchant for the little ivory dominoes.
 Coupled with the love of the Chi nese game was longing for fineries that Freiman claims, his modest sal ary would not permit. The result was the mourning of debts which he claims he has been unable to pay.

BEAUTY CHATS
BY
EDNA KENT FORBES

A simple rotary motion with the fin
ger tips will do very well. Cold cream
should be cleansing if the skin is
brown or grimy looking, flesh build
ing if the skin is oily or wrinkled.
If it is very bad indeed l can advise
nothing better than a cold cream
neck thoroughly with a complexion
brush, soap and hot water, rinse with
hot water. and then rub the neck
thoroughly with cold cream or with
cocoa butter. bandaging loosely with
long strips of muslin order to hold
the cream against the skin. This,
like most beauty treatments, is best
done at night A five-minute ice rub
a day will do wonders in keeping the
neck young.
Josephine-SoapS made for laundry
purposes are too severe to use on the
face; even hands that are constantly
immersed in soapy water become i'm
paired, and only good treatment with
cams will counteract this abuse A
fine soap costs SO little that you
should not resort to soaps having
caustic properties for use on the face.
Blonde-Very few people have their
eyebrows shaped any more by ex-
tracting hairs. You can keep them
becomingly arched, however, by the
way you train the hairs to lie In

Chintz-New and Old.

1t may add to the value Of chintx,
in your estimation, if You know what
il originally was and where 1t came
from. The word "chintz" is from the
Hindoo "chint," meaning spotted or
variegated. The word was at first
meant to designate stained or spotted
calico made in India "Chintz," the
word changed in spelling and pro-
nunciation and the design printed on
a cotton back, came into vogue In
England during Queen Anne'S time.
Both America and England were
quick to appreciate the artistic value
of the hand-printed fabrics, though
their production was slow and pain
full in those days. The artist de-
signed a pattern and prepared a wood
block, mixed his own pigment and
then printed the cotton himself 1t
was a long, tedious process. but it re-
suited in marvellous fabrics. Such
fabrics, representing, as they do, years
pattern and coloring, are true works
of art.
Nowadays, however. most of the
chintZes are made by machinery.
These modern chintzes are often love-
ly. but they are quite unlike the old
handmade products-both in weave
and finish Where the handmade
works of old were of fine and open
weave, with detail broadly cut. the
edSing clearly and sharply defined.
The word chintz, though, still stands,
as it always did, for a printed calico,
often highly glazed. and ordinarily
made in several colors on a light
background, to be used for curtains,

Skunk had been very good friends,
but 1t was long time since they had

He got up from the stump on which
he had been sitting and cautiously
approached the open door of the sugar
already dark in there He couldn't
see Jimmy Skunk. This made mat
ters worse. He was afraid that if
he should venture in he might get
TOO near Jimmy ana acclQentally
frighten him. He knew what would
happen in such a case So for a
long time he hung about that door
way, getting chillier and chillier, yet
afraid to go in.
Meanwhile, Jimmy Skunk had made
himself quite at home. He liked the
inside of that sugar house. 1t was
warm and comfortable in there. There
was the pleasant odor of food that
Farmer Browns Boy had cooked for
supper. Jimmy decided that this
would be good place to stay. He
even thought of getting Mrs. Skunk
and making II their home. Anyway,
he decided to spend the night there.
He examined everything he could
get at with the liveliest curiosity.
He poked his inquisitive nose into
every nook and corner. Then, as he
had had a long wolk and was tired.
he decided to take a nap. So he curled
up underneath the bunk where Farm
er Browns Boy was in the habit of
sleeping. This was why Farmer
Browns Boy couldn't see Jimmy. So
there they were-Jimmy Skunk in
side and Farmer Browns Boy out
side, when the situation should have
been just the other way around

A Well Kept Neck.

The appearance of the neck is much
moro important than one realizes.
Most women feel that they have done
their job as regards beauty when they
have massaged their faces with cold
cream Yet if the neck is old and
wrinkled it will give age even to
the youngest face, whereas if it is
we'll kept, firm and young looking it
will be great asset to n woman's S
youth and good looks. The lines of
the neck, too, count extraordinarily.
Just as double chin completely
spoils the prettiness OF a woman's s
profile, SO does q thick lump of fat
on the back of the neck completely
ruin the pretense of youth.
When a woman begins to get too
stout the first place where the extra
flesh accumulates is under the chin
after that it settles itself around the
back of the shoulders and spreads up
to the back of the neck. Now the
line from the hair down the back
should be slim and graceful and
should not be broken either by too
at the back of the neck. An osteo-
path or good masseur can put the
protruding bone back into place and
you yourself can get rid of the lump
OF flesh by massaging it vigorously,
and, if you are too fat. by dieting.
Massage of the neck is always easy.
