Men Dressing Up

The visits of the Prince of Wales
and then of Nicholas of Roumania,
started something in the matter OF
mems dress. In society, men are no
longer so conservative as they had
been. Suits for different occasions,
more evening dress for night clubs,
an da general trend toward the for
merly called "flashy" styles and col
ors is apparent. Then the variety
of sports that interest the leisure
class calls for particular styles of
clothes, not only for those who take
part, as in golf, for instance, but
those attending the different games,
shows or races have special kind OF
Quitting for each affair.
The next feature will likely be the
more general use of wardrobe trunks
By men and of the handbags for wom-
en- whose garments are now so alb
breviated and so sheer as to require
minimum space in packing. One
very we'll dressed woman boosted not
long since that outside of fur coat
everything she possessed could be
slowed into a suit case and hat box

WORK

We sometimes hear of people who work
themselves to death. just as we hear of ghosts
and man-ezting ssz-serpents. And all the
time we know there amt no such thing"
For one man who works himself to death,
ten thousand die from lack Of exercise, over
eating, late hours, or avoidable worry Fatal
tiles from over work or hiceoughs are about
equally rare.
Work develops; work stimulates; work
strengthens; work induces, promotes and COM
pels growth; work lays cornerstone in the
success-structure whose place cannot be filled
by substitute.
Work is the greatest actuator, greatest ac-
ceerator that any person can attach to his job,
but all the time let it be understood that We
mean intelligent work, intelligently applied.
Aimless effort counts for nothing; the spas
imodic. unintelligent worker is comparable to
the well known frog in the we'll, forever
hopping up and slipping back.
Hard work will not at all take the place
of judgment, thoughtfulness, tact nor an ear
nest purpose. Added to these, however, it al
ways means successful career.
Working and liking it is normal existence.
1t is also the most lasting form OF enjoyment.
But to many people work is an ugly word.

GEORGE F. MCGOWAN

George F. MCGOWAN, well known
contractor and builder, was found
dead in his bed Sunday morning. The
deceased was so years old, and has
been a resident of this city and sec

al contracting and building up to a
few years ago, when his health began
to fail. The remains were laid to
rest in Evergreen cemetery, Rev. j..

A Christmas party was arranged
by the welfare workers of Ellis Is
land which was attended by $50 i'm
migrants. More than half of them
were being deported. However, all
were treated considerably and an
thems were sung in more than a oc"-
en- different languages. Does the
government take this interest in her
wards and waits? Not at all. The
humane work done on Ellis Island is
carried on by religious and patriotic
organizations. But for these socie-
ties with their paid workers, foreign
ers would have but cold reception
to our shores, and government ruiz
ings heartlessly sever family ties.
even babes being separated from
mothers under harsh DEGREES. Inter-
vention in the cause of mercy as well
as kind ministry is seffected.by these
welfare workers, as foreigners are
still human beings though far from
home, and maybe wrongly so, as gov
eminent policies and economy may
Judge. Whatever the case may be,
when once at our door, human JUS
tice supersedes diplomacy in the opin-
ion of some of our people nd we
should treat the newcomers as we
would the stranger unfortunately
held by circumstances at our own
doors.

The Will and the Ways

When our country wishes to put
over something we must have first of
all big appropriation. To provide
an adequate air force is one of the
big problems right now. The Ango-
ra government in Turkey needs an
air force too. Here is the way the
Aviation League sets about it, several
ways, in fact:
Packets of cigarettes sold by the
tobacco monopoly will contain 10 in
stead of 20 cigarettes. Those saved
in this way will be sold for the lea
que.
The league is to have a monopoly
on the importation of foreign moving
picture films.
All existing stocks of old Turkish
postage stamps will be handed to the
league for sale to collectors and deal
ers.
The league will have a monopoly
of the sale of playing cards and the
sole advertisement contracting rights
in periodical publications.
All wild boars killed in Turkey will
be regarded as the property of the
league.
All official documents available to
the general public will be printed and
sold for the benefit of the league.
The league, in addition, will oper-
ate two mercury mines and number
of factories.

GROWING TOWNS

Growing towns are good deal like grow
ing boys. Someone has to feed them. To
make boy grow, you have to give him a
lot of good, wholesome and nutritious food.
Some families think they do not get much per-
sonal return, as the boy may not do much for
his family, but they have got to get their sat-
isfaction out of producing real boy. If you
only half feed boy, he will only become half
grown.
Much the same with towns. They also need
lot of good nutritious food, in the shape OF
business enterprise, the willingness to work
and public spirit People get out of a town
about what they put into it, just the same as
with boy. A lot of folks are always kicking
because their towns do not grow fast enough,
when they have done nothing to feed that
town with the effort and spirit that create
community growth.

everybody has forgotten the evidence.
is higher respect for business men with
brains enough to run big business.
rs more willingness to talk our differences

ENCOURAGE HONESTY BY REMOVING
TEMPTATIONS

The National Credit Association plans a
$1,750,O00 fund to prosecute commercial
crooks, fraudulent bankruptcies, inside rob-
berries, arson for insurance, and similar bust
ness crimes. Estimates vary all the way from
$500, 100000 to $2,OO0,OOO,OOO loss every
year through such frauds.
And yet the nation is essentially honest.
Statistics show that of the millions of auto
sales on deferred payments, only .163 OF one
per cent fail aftersh having paid one-third down
on a 12-month contract The percentage OF
loss increases rapidly with the extension OF
time and the smallness of the down payment.
Credit is the foundation of American busl-
ness the country would starve to death over
night, on a strict cash basis, even though Amer
lea has more money per capita than any other
nation on earth. The maintenance of credit,
which is bankable honesty, is imperative, but
the man who invites sales that tempt repudla-
ton, is as potent criminal as the thief him
self Starting in to punish offenders and to
educate tyros or excitable sellers who do not
yet realize their co-responsibility, the Credit
Association can perform a splendid national
service.
Lead us not into temptation is no mean
ingless phrase it is profound philosophy fol
religion and business.

A dry agent in Georgia has staged
a new trick to capture his man. Find
ing still and two prohibition viola
tors on the Dawson side of the Ches-
tatee river, the dry agent who was
alone on the Hall side of the river
practiced ruse that enabled him to
get one of the culprits though single
handed. The men supposing them
selves surrounded Owed into the riv-
er to make their escape. At different
points they attempted to scale the
bank of the side opposite the agent.
Having ventriloquist's art the agent
would seem to talk from the bushes
of the nearest side in dialogue to
himself across stream with perfect
assurance of capture until at last
he did get one of the men, the other
escaping.

Globe Trotting Teams


intercollegiate games take students
far afield these days. A debate might
we'll be prepared on the subject of
the possible advantages of teams
going far from home and the con-
verse. 1t has been a great trip for
the Alabama boys to visit Stanford
in California just for match game.
Just how many fans accompanied
them is not known by the writer, but
it was a goodly number. Since these
men are under grads, it is likely that
some tired business men footed the
bills of these good fellows and jolly
sports. Herein might lie the evil
of the system.
In the name of educational advan-
tages for their children many parents
are making great sacrifices to send
their children to college, and fire.
quently for their pains they get very
poor returns. A taste for pleasure
and sports is the almost certain de-
velopment even when the scholarship
falls low and home influence and
standards are deprecated to low
degree. This is especially true of the
youths sent direct from high school
without any idea of responsibility.
There is one class of students that get
the best out of college. Either they
work for some of their outlay or they
have a keen appreciation of what
their parents sacrifice to keep them
in college. The rich mems sons set
pace that too many of the poor
mems sons try to follow.

The Working Wife
% By M:

One of the modern social problems
is that of the working wife, who earns
money outside her home. Long dis
cussed as an economic question there
is also a social aspect to the condition
that is being surveyed by the Ameri-
can Economic association. The good
or the bad results of a wife or moth
er engaging in renumerative occupa-
tions outside her home, can not be
arbitrarily determined, in the opinion
Of one expert investigator, but must
be measured by the reaction Of each
woman's family to her independent
relation. Some husbands are proud
of their wives ability in business or
professional lines; some couples are
drawn closer together by mutual res
possibility in business or in home
buying; other husbands are sensitive
or even jealous Of their wives indie
pendence as reflection on their own
ability to dominate or provide in the
home.
Some women enjoy the sense OF
self-expression in work outside the
home; some women are spoiled BY
their success in earning equal or lar
ger salaries than their husbands,
which breeds contempt; some get
new sense of realities and new ap-
probation of their husbands burden,
in his efforts to provide for FAM
lily. Some children feel neglected,
and sometimes are; other children
have a pride in their mothers wage
earning ability and enjoy as. rule
the fruits of it in their added luxurles
in home and in dress, as her prosperi-
ty is sure to be shared. Reg OF
some frequent Shortcomings III the
care of the house, a woman occupied
with a wage-earning position is al
most certain of the higher respect OF
her family than the one who slavlsh-
ly devotes herself to the sole care OF
a house and an indolent family OF
children as is often cen as an oppo-
site extreme.

Modern Magicians

The American chemists have been
enlarging their activities since the
world war into number of fields
hardly touched before. One of the
most evident of their innovations to
a layman is the success attained in
dyeing, prestige always held before
in Germany. Such success have the
American dyers had with furs that
they have been led into odd novelties
in colors. The German method was
to stick to the natural pelt colors, but
the American dyers having some 35 to
40 distinct shades available make use
of them in colorful effects that pea
cock might as easily claim as might a
fur animal 1t seems to suit miladie's
taste to have this assortment of
shades to blend with her vari-tinted
and delicate gowns, so that fur as an
accessory is really worn too much
from humane standpoint, as the
cruel trapping and wholesale slaugh-
ter of the furry animals goes on at
tremendous rate. Fur for warmth
can be justified even to the Blue
Cross Society which is organized
against wanton and cruel slaughter
of animals for their fur but as a
trimming of diaphanous evening
gowns, there is growing sentiment
opposing, founded on plain common
sense and justice. Speaking of wom-
en- and furs suggests that new phase
of obtaining the furs by English
women who have started fad of
conducting a chase on the silver fox
farms where the animals are market
ed and of selecting and running down
their choice. 1t is said the fox far
mers are not very favorable to this
method and charge an extortionate
price for the privilege but the pur-
chasers are keen about such novel
and exhilarating method of getting
their own furs on foot.
