1t is practically impossible for any
one to tell exactly the same story
Of an event. though the same event
may have been waved simultaneously
by several persons, each Of whom
will tell a different story. Why. eN'
pect q child - tell what happened
exactly as it Happened What he
saw and what some one else saw
might have been Tie same event
viewed differently. Also child's
conception of what ne sees corrc-
spends to his knowledge. He can't
pc expected to have an adult coneep'
ton of anything, for his experience
has been too lI1.'tad.
If he has been read to great deal
in his life. as soon as any-h r+ hap
pens he will begin To make stories
about it, and shortly i've cannot sepa'
rate the stories from nc thing which
happened. He has no intention Of
telling an untruth.
The lying which Is serious is al
ways a selfish lie winch rebounds to
the benefit of the person who lies. TO
lie to escape punishment is coWardly.
Dragging. with the deliberate inten-
ton of making ones self out to be a
prodigy or the poSSesSor of remarE'
able powers, leads inevitably tc being
called "A liar. Persons of this type un-
derestimate the intelligence Of the
person to whom they are Dragging,
and soon they have acquired II repu-
tation for classifying that no amount
of truth telling will erase. No one
believes them even If they tell The
truth.
| In order to teach 4 child truthful
ness, one must be an example Of it

| for lying when every day he is per-

Women arc really at least a half
century ahead of men in matters of
dress. anyway. They have discarded
the high collar and refuse to have it
back again. They wear really cool
clothes in Summer and hats that really
cover their ears and forehead in Win

women everywhere are less troubled
with colds and nasal troubles than
men.
Ard women have gone ahead of men
in the use of washable woolens Of
course. we think Of wooden materials
as not being washable. Yet washable
woolens have actually been made and
are extensively used for making
clothes for women and children. There
are flannels that neither shrink nor
harden when washed with care. For
the woman who likes fairly warm
clothes in Autumn and Winter | would
certainly recommend washable fan

evenly, just as if any one could have

puffed lazily on a cigarette; the others

Complexion
By WILMA BANKY
Only ONE soap is safe
for your face-a TRUE
complexion soap

Use powder and makeup all you
" wish. But if you seek good
complexion, never leave them on
over night. For the first rule in
modern skin care is to keep the skin
clean, pores frequently freed of &C
foundations.
That means soap and water-reg-
ularlv. But it means, too, TRUE
COMPLEXION soap only. A soap
MADE for skin use-to protect and
beautify.
Thus, largely on expert advice,
millions use Palmolive Soap; touch
their faces with no other. 1t is
made of cosmetic oils. 1t is made
for one purpose only-to protect
and beautify the skin.

statement made by DIR. E.. f.

that the chemical industry is de.

Low. ''She has rings on her fingers

terious underclothes, the materials
of which are one of the greatest
achievements of modern chemistry.
If we survey the flapper more
in detail the very sheen of her hair
is perhaps synthetic and on her
face are the lingerings of dyestuffs
products. Almost everything which
the flapper displays to our admiring
view, even to bracelets and bangles,
is the work of the chemist"

LONDON, Dec. g.--Concentrated
celery. onions. carrots. carrot tops.
sugar beet tops, lettuces. water

bages, are the newest things in
food.
Certain fruit, such as apples, and
grapes, can also be purchased in

dicinal value, may eventually be
treated in like fashion.
Eustace Miles, food reformer, il
responsible for this new treatment
of vegetable products He ex-
pounded the matter to a company
of scientists, food experts, agri
culturists, and financial men, and
claimed not only health values for
his discoveries, but also that there
would be great avoidance of pres
ent waste in agriculture and fruit
growing, and an increase in labor.
After six years of experiment a
company is proposed in order to
place these novel extracts on the
market.

trates have no preServative, yet
