 After nine years Col Flood reveals in the February Elks Magazine that thousands of lukewarm Alsatians in recently recaptured territory were enraged by a murder that climaXed a series of assaults and robberies. A stub of a French cigaret and an Am erican bayonet were found at the scene. A search was made among 19,OO0 troops for an American who smoked French cigarets, usually de- tested by the doughboys.

MANILA, Feb. IA. R-Rubber growing on small land holdings has lost its appeal for the average Phil ippine farmer. This opinion, formed by Dr. Stanton Youngberg, director of the Bureau of Agriculture, is based on the collapse of the demand for rubber seedlings.
 "The tlresome process of tapping rubber trees 365 days year" ex- plains the Filipino's loss of interest says Dr. Youngberg, who notes a re- turning enthusiasm for copra produc- tion and an increased acreage plant ed to cocoanuts.

BEAUTY

All eyes are flattered by an artis-
tic makeup. Light eyes demand 1t.
Be scrupulously careful, for care
lessness in. making-up the eyes kills
expression and gives a cold, hard
look.
Choose the color of your makeup
paste and powder by the color of
your eyes. Blue eyes take mauve
makeup; blue eyes take mauve
makeup; brown take black.
First, shade the lower lid with n
little paste, scarcely touching the
center but shading gradually to-
ward both inside and outside cor
ners. The tone of the eye determines
how much to use. Makeup should
emphasize the iris, rather than kill
1t.
Second, shade the upper lid all
over lightly, with it darkest near the
eyelashes and growing lighter as
it rises until it disappears into the
eyebrow unnoticed. Dust lightly
with the matching powder. Never
leave a gumny, greasy look, but
never use too Such of the powder.
1t is far better not to makeup the
eye at all than to do it crudely, or
too much.

ON Minimum
Wage La70S

Fifteen years of experience with
minimum wage legislation for wom-
en- in the United States have pro-
duced little in the way Of tangible
results as far as the mass of wom-
en- workers Is concerned, according
to a study by the National Indus
trial Conference Board, New York,
concluded after several years OF in
vestigation of the operation of such
laws.
Minimum wage legislation for
women has been experimental with
in fifteen States and in the District
of Columbia, but in all but eight of
these Jurisdictions the laws passed
have been either held unconstitu-
tional, been repealed or been other
wise nullif1ed through legal proceed
ure. Only one of the eight States
in which minimum wage law is
now in effect. Massachusetts,, Is pre-
ponderantly industrial, and the total
number of women theoretically pro-
tected by such laws constitutes only
about IL per cent of all the
women wage earners in the United
States. All minimum wage legisla-
ton in the United States, more
over, wherever it functions, does SO
virtually only by sufferance or vol
untary compliance, inasmuch as a
United States Supreme Court opin-
ion in 1923 rendered unconstitu-
tional all mandatory minimum wage
legislation. The Massachusetts, law
is non-mandatory, providing no
penalty to enforce the recommend
ed minimum rates other than au-
thority to publish names of firms
ignoring the DEGREES" Of the wage
commission. The conference boards
study concerns itself principally with
the experience of the law in Massa-
chusetts as at the present time this
is the only type of minimum wage
legislation likely to be a factor in
the future.

John Rogers, 20, son Of a pro-
lessor at Stanford University, is an
other college suicide.
Everybody wonders why so many
of these seemingly fortunate young
SterS find their lives too heavy to
bear. Reasons are given and Stats
tics printed, but the girls and boys
go right on killing themselves for no
good excuse that we grown-ups can
see. And perhaps because we can
not see these tragedies increase.
Are the mature men and women
of this country not responsible, in
a measure, for state of mind that
leaves adolescents unable to face ex-
istence in a world that we have
helped to make?
These children are dying because
we disregard the spiritual values OF
life. In a country where half the
mothers dress and act like fiappers
and half the fathers behave them
selves like 16-year-olds, can you
