Icebcrgs ! Have Run Into
 Caroline

Caroline used cosmetics. It didn't matter at all what kind they were, Caroline used them. When l met her first, she seemed a blaze of fire. But I liked her eyes beneath the mascara, and l decided I would try to make her mine. Whenever I took her out, her lips were ruby and her cheeks cerise. l used to call for her early, just in order to see her put layers of red rouge on her cheeks, and great gobs of red stick on her lips As a result, her face some- times looked like the flag of the l. w. ".
 One night 1t occurred to me that a good way to get some of that red lipstick of, was to kiss it off. So did. And she punched my nose un- til it bled,
 Well. we live and learn! For I learned from her that women who use a lot of red, often see red!

Volcanoes I Have Fallen Into
 Richard

Dick was just the loveliest man! | used to adore him. And no mat ter what they would say to him he would always keep his temper, I never saw man like him for keeping his temper. Nobody could get him mad His hair was always smooth and shiny, and his face was all smiles. Once I slammed the door on his finger. and he only smiled, He didn't ruffle hair when he got squeezed in a subway rush. And when the summer came and everybody else was passing out on account of the heat, Dick would walk around smiling, with his hair still smooth and shiny, l thought he was a darling, he was always so cool and calm.
 And one day I told him so, and unused his hair lovingly. He let out yell, and his face got hot and rcd, and he called me all kinds of names.
 But I don't care. Because he taught me that the stuff men use on their hair may he called emul- sions. but they often cause erup- tions!

4 GOOD SHOWING BY VETERANS BUREAU

Administration of the Veterans bureau appears 10 be upon a very different basis than during the Forbes regime. Newspaper readers yesterday were regaled with the in- formation that even in such a little thing as consuming envelopes there has been a saving. What can be ac- complished with a due regard for economy Of no greater effectiveness than the private citizen daily exer- cises or the private corporation Is forced to follow, was indicated by the return of more than s69,000,o0O to the government out Of the hu- reaus appropriation of more than S4SIOo0, GOO for the year.
 Frank T. Hines, director of the bureau, promises consistent par ing down every year, which will not only be a Creditable showing but is good news 10 the harassed taxpayer, especially considering the fact that veterans of the war under the aegis of the board get as great returns for the lessened eXpendi- lures as they would get if the money were partly wasted in ad- ministration,
 The American government has expended around S2,5OO,00O,O 900 upon veterans of the World war, i exclusive Of the bonus. There are many who are of the opinion that the government has not received good value for the money, and the

A EUROPE BACK TO COMMON SENSE

The security pact in Europe is nudging closer to reality. Britain, France, Italy and Germany will have conference about it and all concerned express Optimism"
 With the security pact 8 reality, Germany is expected to become a member of the League of Nations. That done. only Russia, Turkey, Mexico and the United States. of important nations, will not be in the League.
 The sixth assembly of the League is taking place in Geneva and 25 matters are upon the agenda. Dig nitaries from all the member na- tions are In attendance and in addt- ton to the matters discussed at the stated sessions of the Assembly, all other problems facing the nations are discussed in the hotel lobbies,
 The League is proving a great clearing house for offiCialdom. Through 1t officials meet each other face to face, shake hands and try to see things from the viewpoints of the other fellow. Mutual under standing is fostered; mutual dis trust is lessened.
 The security pact applies to the Rhineland; France and Germany through it are to agree to the pres ent status quo for keeps. The im- portant point is that Germany thereby definitely gives up the hope of ever having Alsace and Lorraine returned, and these two provinces would never figure as the cause Of hostilities.
 The situation on the eastern frontier of Germany is different matter. Earlier in the negotiations France insisted that the eastern boundary of Germany be included in the security pact, but Germany demurred. and for time it was be- lieved the pact would go the way of last years protocol. Although the eastern boundary line is not ln- cluded in the pact as Is finally alt but agreed upon, the powers have come to a mutual understanding that when finally signed in the form of treaty 1t will be the greatest step forward toward per manent European peace between the major powers in modern his tory.
 The security pact will have beer a fruit of the League of Nations and Germany will not enter the League until after it is signed thl' being based upon the desire to hell enforce the pact.
 There is a marked difference be tween the present attitude toward each other by the European power than was the case few years ago The leaven of the League is work ing; and also. It must not be over looked that American financial in terests have given the European to understand that there will be m more loans unless the peace com plex is permanently cultivated

veterans have at times been among the most severe critics of the way the funds were handled previous to the Hines regime, The methods of handling the funds has been great ly improved since the early days of the bureau, and 1t Is to be hoped that criticisms may no longer be justified. Improvement in the hand ling of veteran matters dated from the time the War Risk bureau, the Vocational board and the Public Health service were consolidated into the Veterans bureau in 1921, but even then 1t took time 10 transform the chaotic conditions iato a business like administration
 The American people have from Inc first been willing to treat vet erans, especially the disabled, in a manner conforming with the best ideals of the republic; but at the same time they have a right to de- mand economical administration of the large funds required for the purpose. The Veterans bureau scandal Is fin the background and 1t Is hoped will not be duplicated; needy veterans are still with us, however. They are receiving q square deal, as the public demands, and the report made public yester- day gives every indication that matters are proceeding properly,

ARTISTIC EFFECTS WITH OUR STREETS

Gently curving streets and high ways are regarded as artistic; they avoid monotony. There can be no question, therefore, that there Is little inartistic monotony in New Britain. Most of our streets are ex- nuisite examples of turns, some Of them gradual and others of the somersault variety. In sense then. we have an artistic city.
 Take West Main, as 1t leaves Main, for an example. The curves are gradual and of that "undulat- ing" quality that warns the hearts of all true artists. A prettier effect could not have been achieved had 1t been planned, which it wasn't. Grim necessity caused the curves now we have them in all the de- iightful beauty.
 COHSluBI lno ''P pearance of the New Britain lnsti- ute. Does anyone for a moment think the appearance would have been enhanced h q High street been at right angles with West Main at the point and the library
 IL had been built to conform to the right angles? Absolutely not. The site of the library seems to have just the proper tilt to make its ap- pearance impressive.
 Then there is St. Marks church It souarely fronts upon that part Of West Main street where 1t is situ- ated, but that isn't saying it fronts to the curved thoroughfare nearby The result is that the handsome church stands out" with enhanced artistic effect, viewed, of course from below High street. The church and the library form a pair that every visitor looks at more than once. not necessarily because of the buildings themselves, but on ac- count of their unique setting ana relation to the adjoining main thoroughfare.
 Looking south from the Center on Main street, what adds to the beauty of the vista? Simply the fact that there is fork in the streets where Arch and Main meet and the fine ediHce of the South Congregational church gains mucf thereby.
 Our curved streets and the nu' .nerous triangles formed at numer ous corners may intensity traf1' difficulties, but from the standpoint of beauty and the possibilities O taking artistic advantage of condi lions leaves nothing to be desired Of course, from a traffic stand noint - that is different matter But congestion amounts to ahou the same thing no matter how tn streets are laid out or are allowed to grow.
