BETTER SPEECH" SLOGAN
OF II. S. THIS WEEK

A drive for better speech has
been staged at the high school this
week. No slang, no faulty wording,
better yocabularies is the aim of the
drive. Slogans similar to this, Don't
say, / amt going. Say, am not
going" decorate the walls of the
corridors.
Speeches and a play regarding
better speech were given by the
Sophomore English classes before a
high school assembly. During the
musical part of the program Mes
DANES Sutherland, Duncan and
Sarkipato were forced to respond to
encores. The program was as fol-

The extra values which
this car typifies have
made Studebaker the
largest builder of quality
cars.
They have made these
cars a sensation. Sales
have almost trebled in
three years. Last year
145,167 people paid $201,-
100000 for Studebaker
cars.
The multiplying de-
rnand has forced an in
vestment of $50,000,000
in model plants and
equipment. Of this, $685.
600, 900 has been spent in
the past five years, so
the plants are up-to-date.
The engineering de-
partment which designs
and superintends this

Afternoon Frock or Lace And
 Chiffon

Do you know why it is that some women of good taste, whose clothes are of excellent fabric and workmanship, never seem to appear ''in the fashion" !" so to speak? If you studied the situa- tion to arrive at conclusion you would find that those women neglected to give their silhouette the proper considera- tion. In this day of simplicity in dress the outline of your ensemble is really the main consideration. For becoming ness, which 1 always place first, can be achieved by means of cut and line and color and made to fit into fash ionable silhouette if that silhouette is kept in mind during the planning or construction of the frock. :.
 The slender, straight outline is the one decreed by the present fashions, and it you happen to be past forty, and your form is not conducive to slender outline, you should by all means place yourself in the hands of cOrsetiere and forget the foolish notion of wear ing no corset just because some women you know can do so. They won't be able to few years from now, for with out exercise, which few women past forty seem willing to take the trouble to do, the form broadens out with no confinement.
 A gracious summer afternoon frock is made of lace and chiffon and worn over a slip of silk or satin.

BATHING IN RELATION TO
 INIT


 TTAVE YOU ever sat behind a pretty girl in church and been shocked
 to discover that when she wash ed her face she overlooked her neck ? And have you been equally scandalized l by the consistently unclean hands of someone you know and like quite well
 Many people are most careless about bathing and keeping the skin clean and l healthy. One is sometimes forced to suspect that the unpleasant odor of hu- man precipitation masquerades under a tidal wave of perfume. No wonder fas- tidious persons are turned against the use of perfume altogether
 The story of the woman who just 1iored'''s. her new bathroom and bemoan- ed having togwait until Saturday night for bath," is not without its modern application, unfortunately.
 People who bathe only on Saturday night are the kind who, when they be come ill, are quite sure that bath would give them sheir death of cold
 The daily bath has a great deal to dc with good health and normal circulation of the blood. The person who has clean, l healthy skin and active skin glands will stand a better chance of recovery in serious illness than the person with slug. gish, unelean skin. This is because an active skin eliminates the toxins of dis. ease through precipitation and moisture the circulation is better, and the gen. eral health better in every way.
 The bath has always been important lin the history of the world, Rome's pub. lie baths and the beautiful skins of the ancients being famous throughout the lages.

 1 CHE meant to reassure her .compan- ID ion, meant to imply that the min
 ister's favorite was the older, not the younger sister. But her speech did not have the intended effect.
 "He seemed to be finding you very congenial yesterday" Lois suggested with sheer. Ut is queer how even nice man will make fool of himself upon occasion, isn't it? Yet I always feel that when a man does that kind of thing-when his heart is not in it, 1 mean--it is the fault of the woman who ] leads him on"
 Here was a challenge. Were Marian to meet it, there would be war again. The situation was becoming unbearable. Yet quarreling and recriminations would but unravel the girl for the work that lay ahead of herst this afternoon. De Lisle was rehearsing a new dance with her-and she was to give it for the first time this evening. She could not af- ford to let herself become excited and overwrought.
 T fancy you are right" she said l lightly. T imagine the old proverb- 'Cherchez le femme is as applicable now as it ever was" Pushing her chair back from the table, she rose. T have eaten a big luncheon" she remarked with a change of tone. My walk in the country gave me a wonderful appe- tite. Shall I send Mrs. Fisher down now! l can sit with dad for a half hour before the time for me to go to my rehearsal."'
 All right, if you want to sit with him." was the ungracious response. T don't care"
 Nothing that she could say would hurt Marian, Lois unused angrily while the part-time maid-of-all- removed the soiled dishes from the table and carried them into the kitchen. Marian was the coldest, most self-sufficient, in- different person! There was, there fore, all the less excuse for her leading Harold Sumner on to make a fool of himself. Marian was not even moved by the fact that the man who had talked love to her in the afternoon had spent the evening with her sister That was proof that she did not care for him. Yet she had flirted with him, allowed him to caress her.
 He would soon learn what Marian was-would soon learn that he had been duped by her seeming simplicity and courage. Any compunctions Lois had felt last night were gone-banished by her sisters self-sufficiency. Upstairs, after sending Mrs. Fisher to her luncheon, Marian seated herself in her fathers room and closed her eyes. She would rest here for a while before goin gto rehearsal. She would not let herself think of Lois attitude. It was incomprehensible. The child acted as if she hated her. But that was probably only a passing phase-a state of mental disturbance caused by jealousy. It would not last At heart Lois was all right.

will treat hr with considration; that the lazy man will work for her; the stingy Opn his purse to her; the brute melt into tenderness at he rtouch. And so, no matter what the record is against a man, he can always find some woman who IS eager to marry him. Even wife murderers find women willing to risk their necks with them!
 But the thing that is really inter- esting about the western woman's plan to auction off her husband is that 1t shows that women are be- ginning to get grimly humorous slant on what has heretofore been an unreiieved tragedy.
 The onlooker could always have told wife that the husband who needed tC be wept over wasn't worth tear; that it was sheer waste of emotion to breal her heart over a man who was so pooI and weak a creature that he chased every fluttering petticoat thatJcrosseC his path, and that she should rejoice rather than grieve at his loss, for it wal good riddance of bad bargain.
 -
 But good women have gone on grieving over worthless husbands; weeping, praying, agonizing for the return of husbands who were kiss ling painted lips and spending the money that was needed at home on the gold-diggers. So it is encourag- ing to hear that they are beginning to take saner view of the sub ject.
 there are auction sales of husbands where we can pay our money and takt our choice-and chance!

 Then they indulged in light exercises, thereby retaining grace Of body and beauty of skin that has been preserved ia the world of art down to our own times.
 In order to understand why the daily bath makes one healthier, we have only to remember that the skin is form ed of layers, the outer layer of which constantly rubs off in almost invisible flakes. The skin is full of tiny"mouths" or glands terminating in ducts on the skin-surfaee. Through these glands per- spiration and oil and moisture are elim- mated. If the skin is kept clean it re- mains active and healthy, doing its share in eliminating the poisons which accumulate in the body. ..s

 Discovering that she possessed husband who loved not wisely but too many, she met the situation with neither prayers, nor tears, nor subpoena, but has applied for a permit to sell her husband to the highest bidder.

It is an intriguing idea, but I am wondering how she will press-agent her secondhand husband so as to make him seem desirable to other women.
 She cannot recommend him as a good, domestic, householder husband because he was one who always heard the call of the wild women and refused to stay tied.
 She cannot call attention to him as a desirable yoke-mate because he baked at pulling half of the load and was al- ways slipping the collar and jumping the bars. s6g
 She cannot extoll him as q parlor or nament because he was only a loan exhibit in his own home, and if you wanted to see him at his best you had to view him in some other ,woman's | drawing room, where there3was better light on him than there was at his own fireside. nsst
 She couldn't guarantee him as a re- liable meal ticket because he spent his money on buying champagne for chorus girls instead of milk for the baby.

She might praise his good looks,
 his dancing, the fervor and artistry
 of his kissing, the romantic line of
 love talk that he carries. But, alas, there are only pre-matrimonial
 charms and virtues. After mar
 riage a handsome husband is a lia-
 bility rathen than an asset. Matri-
 mony is a joy trot, not jazz. The only reliable domestic kisses are
 those that have the well-known
 ham-and-eggs flavor, and it is more
 important for a husband to know
 how to make money than it is for
 him to know how to make love.
 Not much in the character" that the wife could give her husband she wishes to auction off that would make any other woman willing to pay $2.75 in real money for him, to say nothing of investing her all in him, is there ? Looks as if there would be very few takers for such an undesirable piece of household furniture.
 But not so. Be not discouraged. Probably the women will fight over him, and run him up to some preposterous figure as they do the junk at other auc- tion sales.
