tive leadership.
obviously, this great power which
is yours is not SO much the power of
intellect, great as that may be, as IT is
the power of publicity force rela-
lively new in the history of mankind,
and which If not directed by whatever
may be the beneficent laws of its
being, could we'll prove a Franken-
STEMS monster. Let me give but one
of the latest and greatest illustrations
of this.
Just as we were all growing con-
scious and sensitive of the possibility
of that old hydra-headed monster re-
lgious intolerance injecting itself in
our political life and jeopardizing our
very existence as a free and happy ma
tion. Gov. Smith hands out a letter
destined, I believe, to be one of the
historic monuments of free govern
ment and one of the heroic contribu-
tions in the fight for political liberty.
1.-THE service of that letter to the
cause of religious and political free
dom, and therefore to human welfare,
lies not so much in its superb truth
as in the fact that your great power
of publicity enables it to do effective
work in the service of the Nation.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, April 29.-Describing
himself as "a political fundamental
tst," Gov. Albert G. Rftchie of Mary
land, speaking at the annual dinner
of the Bureau of Advertising of the
American Newspaper Publishers AS
sociation in the Waldorf-AstOria last
night. called upon the press to exert
its enormous power OF publicity IN an
endeavor through selection, direction,
creation and emphasis to reaWaken
the slumbering political conscience of
our people.
''I refer" said he, ''to the apathy
and indifference which is SO manifest
toward the fundamental realities OF
our political life and institutions at
time when political issues of the most
fundamental and far-reaching char
acter are coming to the surface and
must be thought out and fought out
THE sporting and the emotional
side of politics probably makes as
strong an appeal as ever, but is there
not a palpable decline in the deeper
political consciousness of the people
and in their interest in political
thought and thinking"
Still Smile About Politics.
Watt and Franklin, Gov. Ritchie
said, introduced to everyday civiliZa-
tion an infinity of problems far greater
than the teachings of Darwin and
Huxley, resulting in amazing growth
and revolutionary changes"
Yet" said he, lin the midst of all
this concentrated drive of brain and
energy, politics in its fundamental and
larger aspects seems to be regarded as
relatively inconsequential. 1t is some
thing to smile or be bored about, to
shout about and fight about, but not
to think about.
"If there is loss in political inter
est and values, suspect this may be
partly because the people feel, and
with much justice, that the battles of
politics are too often sham battles and
that there is in them too much hy-
pocrisy and pussyfooting away from
realities, too much self-seeking and
often downright inabecility.
Press Should Lead Fight.

Aspirations and human conflicts I am
convinced that we must look to the

Putting Cash in Cashmere :

While cashmere was first made in
way-of India, in the valley of Cash
mere, II is made all over the world
now. Originally cashmere was made
from the inner hair of the Cashmere
goat. 1t was woven by hand, and
your grandmother doubtless told you
about the cashmere shawl that she
used to draw through a ring.
The cashmere which we buy in the
stores today is not quite the same
thing. 1t is made both in Europe
and this country from soft woods of
the finest grades. Some Of the woods
are picked at home. but the best are
said to be imported from France and
Australia. Imported cashmere may
therefore be either cashmere made
abroad or cashmere made from i'm
ported wool. Labels usually are af-
fixed to tell one what is what.
To this day cashmere il an exceed
fngly lightweight fabric, finely twilled
on one side. 1t Is very soft and pill
able, and Is an unusually comfortable
feeling fabric to wear. 1t was its
to feminine users.
When cashmere was first made,
wooden cashmere was made almost ex-
clusively. Our own manufacturers,
however, made cashmere mixtures by
combining silk and wool, or wool and
cotton. They have also varied the
texture so as to make cashmere prac-
tical for all uses. 1t may vary from a
twill. nearly as coarse as serge, to one
SO fine that the eye can scarcely dis
tinguish it.
Cashmere's quality is generally
judged by the fineness of the twill but
this is not an unalterable rule. 1t is
very possible that loose twill may be
made of the very finest wool, and
therefore be OF the highest quality
Cashmere must be Judged as much
by the feel and appearance of the
wool, as by the weave. The silk and
wool mixture mentioned above is found
chiefly in black, and Is used naturally
by elderly women almost exclusively.
It is not widely manufactured today.
All wool and wool and cotton cash
meres come in a variety of shades
suitable for all sorts of apparel: Babies
coats, children's dresses. negliges and
house dresses. Cashmere, as you

had been disregarded In the work
room. When the frocks were copied
for private customers they would in
deed be made several inches longer.
There may, OF course, have been an
order to disregard the first order--so
that the frocks displayed would pos
sess the chic that abbreviated skirts
undoubtedly impart.
1t is not. however. always merely
for the sake of greater modesty that
women wear longer skirts. American
ffappers are notably. addicted to the
long skirted dance frock. When a
group Of young English university
students made Il visit to America a
month or so ago they were really sur
prised by the long skirts that so many
of the fiappers wore. The fact that
these boutfant long-skirted frocks
were made with mo backs" as the
students observed, made 1t apparent
that the fiappers who wore them We're
not suffering from any excess of
prudishness.
But why should the question be an.
swered all one way or all the other?
1t is barely possible that skirts of diff
ferent lengths might all remain fash
ionable at the same time-just as
frocks with long sleeves and frocks
with short sleeves and frocks with no
sleeves may all be in fashion at the
same time.

SUB ROSA

BY MINI

Thomas writes rather bitterly about
his girl friend.
They have been going together about
year, and she has pretended that
she was all for him, and then one
night, out of the blue sky, she turns
on him and tells him his table man
ners are all wrong!
Tells him how to place his knife
and fork on his plate after they
have finished using it-shows him that
he should do this and that with the
tools during the repast, and just
naturally knocks the props out till he
feels that he would like never to take
another mouthful.
Thomas is Sore--sore as can be-
and threatens to give her up and start
going with some girl that appreciates
him.
Well, say I, do this Thomas, IL your
vanity is SO great that you can't
stand a little helpful criticism.
If the girl friend had criticized you
before others-had made sport Of
you-had deliberately intended to hurt
you, you would be justified in turning
her down, but by your own confession,
she told you these things about your
self in private, and her object was to
protect you against the ridicule of
others who might make sport of you.
CritlclZing is one thing; telling you
fault is quite another.
If a person who loves you tells you
in what way you can improve your
self, you are dumbbell IL you do not
profit by 1t.
Perhaps you have never heard the
old adage, my enemies are my best
friends" Do you realize that it is
true? And why?
Heaven protect me from the dear
friend who flatters me into thinking
that I am perfect!
A word about table manners.
In no better way can persons
breeding be shown-in other words,
they get your number more quickly
that way than in any other!
Take it from me, Thomas, if Friend
Boss ever decides to put you in a
position that may get you to the top
of the ladder, there will come times
in this old life when you will be glad
that the girl friend started you to
thinking about the way to use that
knife and fork!
If love helps your table manners,
it's the right kind of love; don't light
ly throw 1t away for some sham affair
that is all pulled up with f1attery,

nave been students at the school OF
nard Knocks of experience. Goethe
was the most notable example of q
great man who in his youth had been
provided every manner of helpfulness
or the highest order, but Goethe was
blg-minded enough to stand it without
being spoiled.
The best resolution that anv yo,,na

ms strength and abilities always to.
ward what he deems Of the highest
and most self-helpful purpose, and
never to depart or swerve in the least
from this resolution.
When I was young fellow attend.
ing Kent's Hill Academy, in Maine, ]
wrote the following bit of verse. in.
tended to ernbody my best resolutions
and still think it embodies even nv
present best resolutions:
First. moderation and restraint aim to per.
lection in:
Patience "a, and caution cultivate. with rigid
Restrain all passions. impulses and weigh
all matters we'll
Weigh the motive. act and end. make every
action tell
Be cautious. watchful. thoughts control;
Let every step succeed thought: let
thoughts succeed the eyes.
