DIARY OF A
NEW FATHER
BY n. e. DICKSON.

Friday Night.
I finished my work early today and
came home at 4 o'clock, and Joan had
taken the baby out for a buggy ride
and was not back yet. While / was
putting my hat and coat away re-
membered Joan had asked me to get
down suitcase from shelf in the
hall closet that she had left something
or other In. and I stepped on the
baby's kiddie kar, which is parked in
there until he can use it, to reach up.
Well, / am no acrobat, and the darn
thing slid out from under me, and !

Advice on Costuming.

Dear Miss Leeds-1} am 20 years
old, s feet 21s inches tall and weigh
lo3 pounds. 1 have straight. black,
bobbed hair. a medium freckled COM
plexion and hazel eyes. What styles
of dresses and hats should l wear to
make me look taller and Simmer?
Should ! wear long, straight lines or
soft, fluffy dresses for evening, and in
what colors? (2) My abdomen and
hips seem too large. Should I wear
a girdle or reduce? go am thinking
Of letting my hair grow. DO you think
would look better with IL long? My
face is full and heart.shaped. 90 I am
using white vaseline on my eyelaShes
to darlSen them. Is that good? (5)
What colors of powder, lipstick and
rouge should / use? / have a very
fine.textured skin with a little color.
Would 1t make my face chap to leave
OF the cream and powder? (6) How
can I remove freckles? / have tried
some strong commercial freckle
lotions, but they have not removed
the biemishes entirely, although they
have become lighter.
Answer--iD A girl of your age and
height should weigh between 118 and
121 pounds. There is no harm in
dressing to look tall and slim so long
as you do not really lose weight; you
need to gain. Straight, neatly tailored
clothes will help you look thinner
Avoid flares and any bulky trimming
or large fur collars. A dark blue
georgette crepe dress with vertically
striped slip would be becoming. Wear
with it a deep cream or fiesh-color col
lar and cuffs. A two-piece wool Jersey
frock in dark green trimmed with YER
teal bands of tan or the same pattern
in light brown with dark brown as
trimming would be pretty. For eve
ming you may wear deep yellow, me-
dunn green or old rose. with straight
lines. Choose fairly heavy. clinging
fabrics. For other color suggestions

1t is well to remember in home
making that artistry and mechanism
are warning elements. The old-time
housekeeper dealt with articles of
necessity III their primitive forms. and,
strange as this may seem, the very
crudity was picturesque. Every line
was for a purpose. Every embellish-
ment that was not necessary was
eliminated. There was no thought of
embellishing except of the necessary
elements. These could be made as
beautiful as inlay, carving and con.
tour could make them, but nothing
was superlmposed that could in any
way detract from the actual simplicity
of the article. There was fineness of
workmanship and fascination of in
genuity.
After this period came the one of
overelaborateness, when extra curves
were put in furniture and machine
made ornaments were glued to plain
wood furniture, as if by so doing beau
~ could be added. Articles were made
then which. because they employed
inventions for doing work hitherto
hand done, and because more embel.
lshment could be put on with little
expense, were eagerly sought and,
bought. Today these articles are dis
carded as in poor style, and there is
a reversion to the grace of line as
adapted to the utility of the article.
and the former decorative treatment.
In this we find q decided advance In
artistry.
Difficult Problems.
II is when we come to modern de-
Woes that the home maker who would
continue to include artistry with good
housekeeping finds problems that have
to be solved. Modern devices for les

RemOdeling the Nose.

Dear Miss Leeds-{1) When a hump
is to be removed from the nose, il IL
necessary to take out the entire nose
bone or just cut out a piece? (2) When
a hair is plucked out, does IL ever
grow In again?
CONSTANT READER.
Answer-tD Only the part Of the
bone that is causing the hump nseds
to be cut out. CD Yes, indeed. when
a hair is plucked It Is merely broken
Off just below the surface Of the skin.
The root is left and from that another
hair soon grows. For permanent re-
moyal the electric needle is used TO
burn out the root. LOIS LEEDS.

Fish Supplant Beef

Rome, Dec. 2. R>-The goldfish" of the A. E. F. has become real fresh white fish in the kitchens of the Italian army. but the kitchen police have a stiffer job preparing the Italian ration because q can- opener IS q. useless tool In dressing fish right out of the Mediterranean.
 Seeking ways to reduce expenses and to make soldiers healthier and happier, the Italian army authori- ties decided to serve fresh fish as q ration 10 all troops where the cost Of transport is not too heavy. The experiment was started in the Rome barracks, where 11.SS5 fish rations were Issued in the first two days, 10 the delight of the Italian doughboys.
 The fish replaces the regular beef ration. Commissary and med- lcal departments believe that not only will the ration be cheaper, but that 1t will promote morale and give better health than a. steady meat diet

BANDITS HIDING
 IN OKLA. FOREST
OsaSe Hills Refuge Place of
 RObber Band

Bartlesville. Okla. Dec. 2. P,- Like Robin Hoods forest, the wooded Osage Hills of northern and eastern Oklahoma are the hid ing place of bandits.
 From the days when Jesse James rode a horse to rob trains 10 the present era when the Matt kimes and Ray Terril gangs carry off bank loot in motor cars, the region has been a refuge for out laws. Once a criminal reaches the Osage Hills. officers give up hope of finding him.
 The topography Of the country is such that pursuit is difficult if not impossible. Nature made 1t 8 land with the shifting sands of the desert as well as the dense vegeta- ton of the forest. When robber is forced to flee outside the shelter of trees he goes over stretches of sand swept continually by strong winds. Thus are erased the foot prints of the outlaw, the tracks of his horse or the wheel marks of his automobile.
 Caves and boulders not only enable gang of robbers to hide, but also serve as military de- fenses' for standing off with fire arms a posse of superior numbers. Walls of many of the caves are blackened by smoke. telling the story of bad men" who concealed themselves there and lived primi- lively until officers quit searching for them.
 Nature has provided food for the outlaws, for fish and game abound in the Csage Hills and numerous springs pour forth pure water.

Japs Are Advocating Crop
 Saving Methods

Tokyo, Dec. 2. Pl-Although pro hibitioa of alcoholic beverages is not at all imminent in Japan, native prohibition workers are constantly busy in their efforts to dry up the Empire.
 Recently the Japan Fedora ation for Peoples Prohibition won q slight victory when it induced the imperial population and food re- search commission to consider q memorandum urging as q solution of the empires food problem the abolition of sake, the national drink, and other alcoholic libations.
 The prohibitionists contend that about 25,o00,0oo bushels of rice are used each year in the brewing of sake, which is q light rice wine. They emphasize that this figure approXimates the amount which Japan is compelled to import each year to make up the shortage fin the native rice production.
 The Federation also declares that Japan spends about l 1,500, 1000, ,000 yen year on liquor and that this expenditure contributes largely to the poverty and economic distress of the people. The national revenue from the liquor tax is about 23o,- 000, ,000 yen. but the loss of this amount. it is contended, would be more than made lip by the increas- ed efficiency of the people and the benefits to industry generally. In American currency, 1.500, ,000, GOO yen Is about s750, 0,o00,0O0.
