Go to, Helen!

ENGLISH women are discussing means
T. of charging their business activi-
ties. and ali avenues are being searched
as with fine-tooth comb. Meetings are
held and the advice of those already in
the big swim is sought. The campaign
is vigorous and its object is bread.
A few evenings ago. at one OF these
meetings, Dr. Helen Mayo, successful
practicing dentist, was called on for sug-
gesticns. Helen was ready with the goods.
"Be dentist" she said. She didn't add
of course that as an inside and outside
Job, literally speaking, it was profitable,
but she might well have done so. Any
way, her idea appeared to have teeth IN
it. and the ambitious auditors took due
notice. Pushing forward to the edges OF
their chairs and listening with all the
ears they had, they asked for further
elucidation. DIR. Helen told them at length
everything from bicuspids, CANNES and
VISIONS to double-back-action uppers and
lowers. But" she said with emphasis,
zone of the essentials of becoming sue
cessful dentist is to have large feet.
Er-weIl. The listeners drew back, re-
Taxed and lost interest. Big feet! And
admit it? Not on your art photograph
And the low, descending sun counted that
day lost for them.
If there is anything or anybody that
woman does not know and understand,
it is women. DR.. Helen must realize that
now. Everybody else does.

TT Is evident that the entire Pacific
i Coast region is not going 10 be made
dry, thru cutting off the source of supply
OF liquor by methods thus far devised
The shipment of liquor from Glasgow,
for instance 10 coast Canadian ports, and
transfer of the same 10 coast vessels FOR
delivery off L. S. shores. has become as
omen a business as any other In Canada.
Storage and transfer at Ogden Point,
near Victoria, are public and the names
Of the rum-runnlng vessels are known TO
everybody. Yet all this business, per
mtted by Canada, is open conspiracy
against federal law of our nation. Cam
ada not only permits It's own people, but
foreigners. TO have refuge in her ports
for conspiracy against the United States
and il is time that the diplomats Of the
two countries had some conversations
ON this point. If these rum-runners were
conspiring 10 land guns and ammunition
upon the Pacific Coast for law-breakers,
something would be done about It mighty
quick.
