How to Have Soft,
Pretty White Hands
Use Ice-Mint

Many women will undoubtedly be glad
20 know how they may have BEAUTIFUL
white. soft, pretty hands regardless OF
the work they have to do. The secret
lies in rubbing little Ice-Mint into the
fore retiring at night. In the morning
you will be sgreeably surprised at the
pleasant Transformation that has been
wrought by even a single application
Ice-Btnt Is made from Japanese prod
net that Is simply marvellous for its
Identifying properties whether used on
the hands or face. Regardless OF what
kind of work a woman does she should
have pretty hands as they are really
the true marks OF refinement. few
applications of Ice1Mint will actually
make any woman proud of her hands
and skin. 1t costs little and IL sold

Original Queen Marie

Queen Marie of Roumanla must
possess strong personality. We
hear more of her characteristics and
read more of her opinions generally
than of any other woman in Europe.
Her own press agent it seems she
keeps herself in the public eye by
original ideas and demonstrations.
She has been sought out by American
reviewers and has contributed articles
in the leading magazines. Further
more she will visit the United States
this Fall and the press will have many
columns filled with the details of her
tour. One of her latest moves is to
adopt the Roumanian peasant dress
for serviceability and economy ex-
cept for state or formal occasions.
There is hardly doubt that she dis

democratic choice of garb. 1t is,
however, consistent with her attitude
and expressions of practical good
sense noted from long before and
not a grand stand play for favor of
the masses.

Black Listing Wild Youths

A Woman's Club in certain town
raised the moral tone of the social
gatherings for their young boys and
girls by enlisting the mother in GER
tain pledges regarding the hours kept
by their sons and daughters and also
regulating the limit in time for the
absence of the family cars from the
garages, and further using black
list for those young folks whose man.
ners were not above reproach at any
social gathering or date.
The more modest and well-behaved
of both sexes having made the appeal
for help in this matter would not con-
ceal from their chaperones the com.
mon violations of good breeding, so
. that lists were soon made of boys who
carried hip TASKS, of girls who
smoked and of both boys and girls
who sneaked off for joy rides or pet.
ting PARTIES For the first offense g
warning was given, for the second
the name Of the, offender was dropped
from invitation lists by the homes
The very youngsters who at first de.
rided any such regulations had in the
end to mend their ways as sentiment
developed for better conduct and so.
cial ostracisni faced the offenders.

.Most blazes start in easements says Rob-
ert Beck, President of Longacre Engineering
and Construction Co., land as their natural
tendency is to sweep upwards, they seek ana
follow the nearest pathway available inns
is usually some nearby elevator well or STAIR
way. and all too ofen such fires flare up
through structure so rapidly that there is
little or no time for it's occupants to escape
with their lives.
when air is heated to 1000 degrees Fab
renheit. or more, it will set FIRE to everything
combustible it touches. Actual fame may ex-
tend only a few:feet from the point where
fire originates, but the hot smoke and invisible
heat waves will pass along an incombnstbie
passage for perhaps so or 100 feet and IN an
instant ignite the whole surface OF a wooden
door or partition.
"The way to avoid such destruction is to
enclose shafts with masonry and have closely
fitting metal doors at each floor landing. so as
10 prevent the escape of smoke and heat into
the upper section of q building Sometimes
this is done and stairwaXs are, left open. which
nullifes the partial protection by leaving an
other path for the fire.
There is another important point in con-
neetion with the enclosing OF such apertures,
and this is that besides promoting the safety
of life. it enables owners to obtain lower rates
on their fire insurance. Architects and build
ers should bear this in mind"
Insurance companies have suffered under
writing losses each year for the past five years
Necessity may force such an increase in rates
on fire trap buildings that proper construc-
ton will be essential in order to secure insur-
ance at all.
A man would not be allowed to maintain
death trap in a street, why permit it IN
building.

To rush the completion Of the Wo-
mans Federal Prison at Anderson, W.
Va, Warden Shook has transferred
about $50 prisoners from Atlanta
which serves the second purpose Of
relieving to that extent the conges-
ton that exists at this time. Even
now there are being housed 3,207 in
mates where original provision was
made for 1900. More women are
being committed to the Federal pris-
ons since the bootlegging and the
dope evils have increased. These
crimes form a large part OF the in
crease also of men prisoners Ex-
pensive and troublesome as the pen
atty against them is, the toll of
wrecked and shortened lives caused
by the open sale of liquor and less
closely restricted drug laws makes
the building of prisons and their care
the lesser one of the two terrible
costs to our nation caused by drink
ing and dope.

SELECTING JUDGES IN GEORGIA
[ Savannah Press)

Hon. William H. Fleming. OF Augusta mas
written an interesting article on the best
Method of Selecting Judges"
Ny Fleming. if we remember right, was
member of the Legislature which established
the present plan of electing members OF the
judiciary by the people. He reallzes' OF
course, that the present method is open 10 oo-
lection. Georgia has tried the three Methods
appointment by the Governor, election by the
LEGISLATURE, and election by the people. The
conclusion Of the whole matter is that, which,
ever one of these three systems was IN opera
ton at any given time was at that time thought
to be the worst.
Mr.. Fleming concludes that it is scarcely to
be expected that the people will surrender
their right to choose their Judges at the ballot
box-and how can we blame them, he asks,
when we consider the abuses that attend the
other two systems?
He suggests however, method to minimize
the disadvantages while holding on to the adj
vantages of popular elections. That is, by dis
countenancing opposition to the reelection Of
Judge who has, with ability and character,
done his duty to the people. He recommends
that the people bulld up an unWIltten "a" that
a Judge, once on the bench, shall not be dis
placed except for good cause. There are
many men in Georgia of character and learn
ing who could in time properly discharge the
duties of these high Offices A judge who has
done his duty ought not to be faced with the
necessity of dividing his time between his Of
fetal work and political campaigning He has
neither the money nor the opportunity
Mr.. Fleming has thought a great deal on
this subject and his contribution to the subject
OF selecting judges in Georgia is very valuable.

rWodernist Concession

Like the mountain moving to Ma
homet are some of the modern con-
cessions of the church to worldly peo-
pie. Probably the extremity of do
ing without a morning congregation
at all without these indulgences has
caused certain Episcopal minister in
Massa chusettes to announce that rid
ing and golf suits will be good form
at the morning services and as IA
vor to those who wish to spend Sum-
day motoring, riding, or golfing the
services will be held at 9:45 A. NJ. in
order not to break into the days
pleasure. We may infer that this
must be centre of very sportive
social colony, where the love of God
and Mammon is not even equally di-
vided.

MRS. PETERSON CANDIDATE FOR
STATE SENATE

Mrs. N. Peterson, widely and we'll known
club woman, progressive and public spirited,
splendidly equipped educationally and tenn
peramentally for this position, should have the
unqualified support of the citizens OF the dis
trict. Mrs. Peterson has devoted great deal
of her time in past years to the educational
development of the rural sections of Tiff coun-
ty and has been foremost in every movement
for civic improvement in her home town. Her
election will be a credit to the voters of the
district and a decided asset to the senate
where she would be valuable aid in every
thing pertaining to the public welfare of the
state. The Leader hopes that any of its read
ers who may be living in the 47th district will
vote for her Tiff Turner and Berrien cour-
ties are in the district.
