1t Is Some Job to Change Man Into
Most Beautiful Woman in the World
By Walter ID. Hickman

1t sure is a tough job to change
a man into being the most beautiful
woman In the world.
Some say that beauty is just skin
deep, but a lot Of modern beauty is
contained in bottles and boxes in a
drug store.
No matter what beauty Is. Francis
Renault, a man, knows how to
change himself into a stunning
woman.
To do this trick, Renault must
slave at the job for more than an
hour.
The other afternoon Ace Berry
piloted me back stage to the dressing
room Of Renault.
wanted to see the trick which
would transform a man into the
best dressed woman" on the stage
today Renault lives in a certain
atmosphere in his dressing room.
The second he enters his dressing
room he is in make believe world.
His dressing room is fitted up with
tapestries, pictures, pillows, COM
Portable chairs and two of the walls
are covered with marvellous gowns.
His dressing table is as elaborate
and well fitted as one would expect
to see in the dressing room Of a
world famous prima donna
AS I watched Renault, sink his
natural personality into the dashing
actress" "a slave Of fashion, as he
calls himself, I was convinced that
it was a science and not a trick.
Renault starts making up his
face, his eyebrows and his lips
Paint, powder and several tons Of
other things are used in this scien-
tifc process of beauty making.
In about an hours time. Francis
Renault, the man, ceased TO exist TO
my eye. His eyebrows. eyes and lips
had been changed. His face was
like a painted doll.
Mother" he called to the woman
who aids in dressing him, bring my
most beautiful gown for this show. "
Then a little woman placed a
sheet on the floor and in a second
Renault was climbing into a gown
valued at $4,000.
MY pearls" he said. land the
roses. Now my hat"
The stage manager announced
that the star had one minute. Then
BakaleinilSoff started the entrance
music for Renault
In less than a second. the very
being OF Renault changed. lie was
then the artist, the woman that he
had created to entertain the public.
After he had again grabbed off
much applause and admiration and
after a curtain talk. went back
with Renault TO his dressing room.
He was now Renault covered with
the gaudy makeup Of his profession.
My dogs are hurting me" he
said. 81 tell you that this business
OF a man wearing woman's clothes
is a tough game"
IT spend n fortune on beautiful
clothes. I have eight trunks Of 'em.

FOOLED BY WORDS

It is an old trick But it seems to work again
and agan--this habit we have of fooling ourselves
by words and phrases and not stopping to think of
what they really mean.
The Anti-Saloon League uses it most effectively
in carrying out its political purposes
II proceeds to invent label and then pastes
that label on candidates without regard to the fact
that what it means and what the words really mean
are entirely different
The league has just issued its bulletin to voters,
the result of it's questioning OF candidates and gives
advice to its followers to how they shall vote in
the primary.
The officers Of the league are fully within their
rights in this enterprise Any person has right
to advise others how to vote, All political speakers
and every newspaper does it, But the difference lies
In the fact that the league is not frank in telling the
people that the selections have been made by very
small group interested in just one idea.
In its advice, it labels every candidate as either
dry" or "wet"
It seeks to create and does create the impress
sion that every candidate for Office that it calls
dry" is personal upholder of the Wright and Vol
stead acts that they obey these laws that they be-
lieve in them; while the truth is that these candi-
dates have simply told the league that they will
vote as the league asks on matters of liquor legs
lation.
The league seeks to create and does create the
impression that the men it labels wet"
drinking men, vloators Of the law, anxious to get
liquor.
In very may instances they much more OBJ
servant Of the law than their opponents.
And in the majority of cases, they have merely
told the league that they believe that public opinion
must rule that very many grave evils have followed
Volsteadism, that they are not ready to surrender
their own judgment the welfare of the Nation to
the private custody of the officers of the league.
Very many of these candidates who have been
labeled wet are real believers in temperance and
sobrety who have been shocked and dismayed by the
corruption of government the increase of crime the
drinking among young boys and girls the supremacy
of the bootlegger and the poisoning Of thousands
through vile concoctions sold under counterfeit
labels.
Unfair in its political methods, the league hopes
to keep its grip upon government through fooling
voters by its trickery of words.
The truth is that those who are advocating
changes in the present system in reality the
dry" forces.
They object to the bootlegger. They object to
the increase in drunkenness. They object to whole
sale corruption of government and of youth.
They seeking temperance, real temperance.
They want sober nation, not law violating people.
They are demanding practical way to stamp out
the evils Of alcoholism.
Under the trick and subterfuge of labels, the
heads of many church organizations, the leaders In
many social reforms, the men and women who are
devotng their thought to permanent reforms would
be labeled wet"
Don't be fooled by words.

Each weekend. when your work

You get the old car fixed up right,
and then real late on Friday night
you sprawl yourself upon the floor
and look up road maps by the score.
Course nom has had the happy
bunch to pack a peachy campin'
lunch. She's fixed some salad;
cooked a ham, made sandwiches Of
bread and jam.
The kids, long since, to bed have
gone. They plan to wake UP with
the dawn. You've worked a lot and
feel quite worn, but fun will come
tomorrow morn.
On Saturday all things are set,
And, are you all enthused? You bet,
You're on your way-then fate
breaks loose. 1t starts to rainin'
like the deuce.

tate has lots to talk about.

RUM CAR ESCAPES
TRAP, IS WRECKED
Two Men Injured in Crash
After Chase Near Ritchie
Station.

A liquor car escaped a trap laid for
it by prohibition agents on the road
to Ritchie Station, just off the MARI
boro pike, last night, only TO crumble
up on a telegraph pole, after skldolng
around a sharp turn, bringing INJURY
that may prove fatal to Ben Chesl-
vor, 26 years old, well known to local
liquor raiders, and less serious injuries
to his companion, Paul Hern, 26 years
old. of Leonardtown, Md.
At Casualty Hospital, where the
two men were taken early this morn
ing, DIR. William LaWton gave Chest
Voir a fighting chance for life by sub
mitting to a TRANSMISSION of $50 cubic
centimeters of his blood into the body
of Chelsivoir, who rallied, and in the
opinion of physicians has now just
a chance of pulling through.
The prelude to the liquor drama on
the dark Maryland roads last night
took place at the junction of the
Crane highway and the Marlboro
pike, just west of Marlboro. Pro
hibition Agent T. f. Hartman, and
others were heading homeward after
fruitless search Of Southern Mary.
land for stills. AS they headed west
along the Marlboro pike. the agents
noticed the lights of car coming up
the Crane highway. They judged it
TO be liquor car. Figuring on get
ting the car later, they continued
along the Marlboro pike at a brisk
pace, according to the agents, while
the car fell into the trap by taking
the same route somewhat in the rear
of the agents machine.
Stop Signal Defled.
The cars held their relative positions
until the vicinity of Meadows, Md,
was reached. when the dry car
stopped at the roadside and began
footing its siren in a manner which
has come to be recognized by boot
leggers from experience as a warning
that dry" blockade car was barring
the road further up.
Disregarding the signal, or CHANGING
the possibility of swerVing around any
blockade, the liquor car swept by at
full speed and escaped the trap. The
agents car took up pursuit, chasing
the fugitive as far as ForeStville, Md,
where the liquor car made a sharp
turn to the right and headed down
the road toward Richie Station.
Here the prohibition agents lost the
liquor car. They secured the immedi
ate vicinity to no avail, and, believing
that with the long lead obtained by
the fugitive, it had swung into a field
and waited until the dry" car had
passed. then doubled back on the trail
the agents resigned themselves to a
second failure of the day, and started
back to town.
1t was near midnight when they
learned that two men had been pick
ed up from a wrecked automobile on
the road to Ritchie Station and were
being rushed to Casualty Hospital
Hartman and his colleagues returned
to the spot where the wreck was re.
ported and found the car they had
been chasing beside the telegraph
pole into which 1t has crushed, in a
complete wreck; turned on it's side,
and demolished almost beyond recog-
nition. Much blood was around 1t.
