The DOGS Tail

Wen admit they didn't adopt the

messed it up with treaties and agree
ments designed to garner the spoils
of war and made it a sort of tail
to wag the/dog of their ambitions.
But they adopted it after fash
ion. and we were the only interested
party to stay out, pleading the
childish excuse that If we couldn't
have our way in everything, we
wouldn't play.

by an American and forced on the
Versailles conference by American
peace commissioners and America

WAS IT WASTE?

There may be conservative souls who deplore
and critcise the expenditure last year of one hun
dred and fortyone millions of dollars for lipsticks
face powders and various other aids to beauty
That is the estimate put out by the Government
1t is probable that when money spent in beauty
parlors for applying these manufactured articles and
for such things permanent waves and hair bobs
is added, billion dollars would be better estimate
That would probably cause a bigger gasp
But even it four times that sum- would it
be listed as waste and unnecessary burden upon
industry?
For in the last analysis some one has to work
for every of these dollars their ultimate
expression in the redeemed lip or the mascharoed
eyelash.
The only waste in the world is the expenditure
for those things which injure or which bring no
sense OF satisfaction and content.
These dollars are probably the best spent money
not that the women and girls need these articles to
create greater illusion of beauty but from the fact
that those who spend the money would be very un.
happy without them.
Thrift is misused term The most extraya-
CANT person is the who refuses to take from life
the things that bring the most happiness and pleas.

ject who think that the United States will collect
the sums owed by Europe, the reassurng dope that
has been fed to the American taxpayers makes it
very dangerous politically to say so. Already the
leniency stories which have come back from Europe
have had disquieting effect.
In the meantime Europe, believing the bottom
dollar stories really not intended for Europe at ALL
but for America, is feeling bitter. Under such cir
cumstances any departure from the present Ameri-
can position might be construed as an admission of
weakness, and fear of European displeasure.
The result is stalemate, with virtually every.
body of political Importance afraid to take hold of the
debt question with honest regard for the facts
involved.
Perhaps, however, the whole mess into which
the debt settlement question has developed may not
be entirely in vain. 1t may teach the important

During the debt parleys two sets of stories have
come out of the council rooms. One set is designed
for American consumption, the other for European
consumption
The version for domestic consumption has been
that the debts will be collected at the expense

THE REAL QUESTION

After all, the real question confronting the Repub-
lican women of the State who are seeking de-
government and cleaner politics. should be not
whether their leader gave interview concerning
whispering women and poison squads, but whether
she really used such organization in behalf Of
James e. Watson, her sponsor in politics.
Telling about it might bring only the accusation
of indiscretion.
Operating such organization raises the ques
ton for each to whether she Endorses that
particular method Of swaying sentiment.
The demand of some women for the right to elect
their officers of their political organizations
would not reach this matter.
For in this case, the lady in question was not
acting in her official capacity of vice chairman, dur
ing temporary abdicaton, but the personal rep
resentative of Senator Watson, who announced her
appointment year before.
The ladies interested might, so it seems, not
only a basis for judgment as to authenticity
of the interview, but knowledge to the existence
of such organization
When it comes ito a question Of veracity be-
tween a lady and newspaper correspondent whose
word has never been questioned and whose inter-
views with premiers and Presidents have been pub
lished in many papers, mere may be excused
from taking sides.
