Give a woman a dollar with which
to buy clothing what Will she get?
The way the average wearing APP
parel dollar is spent has been care
fully worked out by a research
bureau, and is based on generally ac-
cepted cost of living budgets for
the average woman.
Dresses rather naturally are the
largest item on her shopping list
and take 81 cents of every dollar
spent for clothing. This provides
for four business or everyday dress
es a year, one for afternoon and a
dancing frock.
The second largest expenditure is
her stocking investment. So great
has become the demand for sheer.

Girlish Charm

The exquisite daintiness you adj
mire in so many women depends as
much on their hair as their peach
blow complexion and stylish clothes.
You can't look good with pretty
dress and dull, stringy hair any
more than you would be neatly
dressed if you had on a pair of
shoes with turnover heels.
You don't have to be denied the
admiration you love, because your
hair isn't lovely. 1t is so easy to
keep it soft, bright and silky. But
don't expect shampooing to do it.
Soap and water only washes out
the dirt, but can not remove dam
druff and that oily film on each,
strand which keeps hair dull and
lifeless. Danderine does it, without
drying out the hair, too.
The next time you fix your hair,
wet your brush with Danderine and
draw it through with long. even
strokes until each strand is alive
and glowing. 1t takes just a few
minutes each day. There's no in
convenience of waiting. You can go
right out, and the improvement you
will see in the loneliness of your
hair will thrill you so you will want
to always have Danderine in your
room along with your other beauty
necessities, so you can make it a
daily habit to use it. 1t will help to
keep in your waves.
Danderine is SO inexpensive, too.
The 35c bottle contains enough to
prove to you how wonderful it is.
You can get it from your nearest
store.

Be Thankful, It's Not You

It's sack and sand against surglng sea-
And above the roar Of waters comes wall of the
roustabouts song
ooh when | die just heave' away, good Lord. "
Black men singing, white swearing, the
South along thousand miles battles a river that
has spread never before.
Who could really know the Mississippi in food
and not in all his heart be moved to help?
The calamity Of half a continent is this noun
tain of water that rolls out of the north miles wide
and roof top high, laughing at man made obstruc-
tons.
Year by year it has grown due perhaps
to better control along the proper reaches
Efficient protection above means, according to
one theory angrier waters below. Stronger after
each flood have the levees been built from Memphis
to New Orleans, but never quite strong enough
Time at every chance has shown man behind the
tide Always, now, the fate of smiling leagues of
land has hinged in the end prayer and what q
pitifully few black heroes could do with song and
sack and sand.
Imagine yourself, when you open your check
book to give, imagine yourself down there. Imagine
a river that shadows the tops of trees that surges
above it's own high levees and strains the last thin
topping Of sacks. Imagine the water trickling,
trckling through until the evee seems little more
than a soggy mass of mud, an elevated morass that
may vanish and you with it, before your ink is dry.
Imagine river swollen and high that even
the ripple of boats must stop. Imagine menace
hat ends not with hour nor day but mounts week
after week, until the last sack is filled with sand
and the last Negroes song is sted and the strongest
capn forgets to swear
And imagine a final evil, so depraved
by fear that they creep up and down the land with
explosives, ready to food their fellow and save them
selves.
Crevasse! Crevasse Crevasse!
Blessed is he Who'll never hear that cry Twice
blessed is he who gives % pale it terror.

English paper. Since then, this
artist-soldier has become famous
through Old Bill as well as wealthy.
sgd Chaplin with the aid of make
up looks very much like Old Bill as
drawn on paper by Bairnsfather
Chaplin was the logical choice to
create Old Bill for the movie screen.
sgd jumps right up to the big
league comedian class by his work
in THE Better Ole" Old Bill and
his companion, All, was always
getting into a peck of trouble.
There are many knockout comedy
scenes in this movie, but three of
them may be listed as follows-when
Old Bill knocks an enemy guard
in the head, chucks him in a barrel
with his feet out and then gives one
the impression that the enemy feet
are his; when Old Bill and ALI make
up as a comedy horse, and, when
Old Bill at the very beginning of
the movie, tells ALI to try and find
a better ole if he can.
You may never have accused sgd
Chaplin Of being a great comedian,
but wait until you see him in THE
Better Ole" He certainly blossoms
out as one of the best in the bust
ness.
Chaplin knows how to develop a
comedy situation and keep in char
acter all of the time. Here is war
from a comedy standpoint. Here is
real fun.
Vitaphone furnishes the musical
synchronization for the entire pic
ture. Splendidly done. The short
Vitaphone subjects this week in
clude Reinald Werrenrath, baritone;
Elsie Janis doing her war time bit,
and Capt. Bruce Bairnsfather. Gre
ator of "Old Bill" who tells you
how Old Bill was born.
Real fun. splendidly done, awaits
you at the Circle all week.

Confidence in Government

For years the city of Cincinnati had political
government very similar to the one in this city,
The notical machine ruled without question
,rho hoss dic+ated inst as the boss dictates here
AS result, the people who could not oislous0
4h hoss did refuse TO vote money for needed I'M
provements
The taxpayers shuddered when they thought OF
what would happen to their money just as they
shudder in this city when the administration pro-
noses 10 spend couple of millions for any project
however meritorious.
Then Cincinnati adopted the city manager form
of government and banished party politics from CITY
affairs. The machine tried to capture the new gov
crnment and failed.
j The people decided that they would own their
own government instead Of leasing it to political
machine.
Now the people have confidence in their own
government. They have confidence because under
the city manager they know that they get value LOT
the money they spend. They know that the contracts
are not let through politicians and that no unohcia
dictator takes his split before the improvements
are made.
The people have confidence in their government
because they know that the government is operated
on a business basis and has the single purpose OF
getting results at the lowest cost.
They have the same confidence that stockholders
have ia a finely managed and efficient corporation
They know that they paying only for the
service they obtain and that the city government
is no longer prize to be fought for barganed for,
schemed for.
K The machine tried to prevent the city manager
form of government in that city just as the machine
is trying to prevent indianapolis from obtaining lit
here.
The same sort of sinister interests that went
to the Legislature in this city to block the people
for two more years fought that change in Cincinnati
The people of this city will have a chance to
vote on this change of government for this city on
June 81
All the spoilsmen on the firing line to pre-
vent this change So far citizen who does not hope
to gain office and power has opposed. Every spoils-
man, past, present future is fighting 1t.
The politicians of both parties against the
change 1t means that no longer will the million
of Indianapolis tax money be diverted for partisan
ends.
These same politicians have done all in their
power to discourage, to handicap to obstruct this
new form of government for cities which has proved
itself by experience.
If you want to help Indianapolis regain some
confidence n it's own government, to have the same
chance that Cincinnati and other cities have grow
without tribute to the bosses and the machines, Or
ganize your neighbors and that they vote on
June 81

Why We Should Lean Away Back In
Mexico

There is no denying Mexico today faces grave
situation.
Almost daily according to newspaper accounts
disturbances seem to grow in number and increase
in gravity.
The latest outbreak is by far the most
atrocious and though the outside world is still in
doubt to just what actually happened after the
Guadalajara-Mex City train was wrecked enough
is known to show there massacre
A hundred men, women and children, helpless
and in many instances injured, were either burned
to death or were shot as they crawled from the
flaming wreck.
Officials in Mexico City charge that Catholic
priests led the rebel band that attacked the train
and set fire to it after annihilating the guard of
fifteen soldiers.
Archbishop Leopoldo Ruiz, in Mexico, and the
most Reverend Pietro Fumasoni Biondi, Apostolic
delegate to the United States, both categorcaly
deny the charge.
81 am certain" said Archbishop Biondi, chat
Mexican hierarchy had nothing to do either directly
or indirectly with this outrageous attack. My first
request to the American public in this matter is
that judgment be suspended until definite and re-
liable details available"
This is perfectly fair request, and one which
every fair-minded American will have granted even
before 1t made
Meantime it must be perfectly obvious to all
that Mexicos path of progress is beset by terrific
obstacles as various dissatisfied factions arm them
selves and take to the field, some apparently, aim
ing to bring about American intervention others
hoping to drum up following formidable enough to
overthrow President Gales.
President Gales therefore, will have his hands
full to hold on until next summer when his success
sor is to be chosen at the polls Will he make it?
A great deal depends on Washington whose
attitude has already dealt serve blow to Gales
chances. Recently the ant-smuggng treaty with
Mexico was' abrogated, making it vastly easier for
rebel or bandit gangs to arm themselves from our
side OF the border And the indications are thew are
not overlooking any bets
II, as many fear, the United States should lift
the embargo on arms, Mexico would at once lapse
back into the same state of bloody anarchy. where
1t dr1tted for so many years. with such scenes as
that recorded above an every day occurrence
Such progress we have observed under
PRESIDENT Madero, Obregon and Gales would come
to standstill. Mexico would be set back twenty
years at least as this and that faction butchered
each other in grewsome elimination contest for
the upper hand.
