Woman S Day
lBY ALLENE SUMNER

Tt takes a courageous mother to
dare brave the worlds censur by
offering to give away her baby so
that she can "see the world" But
that's exactly what Mrs. Oracle
Jones of Ponca City, Okla, wants
to do. The baby boy, known by
health officials as "a perfect baby
specimen is less than a month old.
1--WE don't want a baby now" say
the mother and father. "We want
to see all the States in the Union
and so far we have seen all but five.
We can't let a baby keep us from
those last five"
Too ETpenSiUe
The Joneses explain, too, that
they can't afford a baby. Just think
of the gasoline and tires it will take
for those five States. Besides, Mrs.
Jones wants "a career" She says
that she would "just die" if she
stayed home with baby all day.
Her career" so far has been en-
ployment in laundry. So they are
hunting a home for little Bobby
Jean Jones.
Why It Is
Granted that they are right, of
course, and that a bay is more
important, sometimes one wonders
if the rage of mothers, who act in
the orthodox manner toward their
offspring by yielding up their whole
lives 10 them, toward mothers who
do not, is not self-proi ection for
themselves. In other words, if their
lot is hard they can at least make
it glorious by putting premium
upon their job and insisting that
all other women accept the job with
the same premium.
WOman'S NerVe
Another self-titled American
heiress" has been caught. Dorothy
Arl, at least so she calls herself,
lived in one of Brussels most fash
ionable hotels until her bill total
led about $50, and the hotel author
tiles got suspicious of her story that
she was an American heiress of
Norfolk, Va, waiting for funds. In
quiry brought forth the allegation
she had caShed about $4,000 worth
of bad checks in the leading hotels
of Europe. Now she's in an old
medieval jail at Bruges. Do we
hear of more women inposters than
men? I believe we do Perhaps
it's Just a slightly different version
of the woman nerve which will al
most invariably dare more than
the nerve of men.

Mr. Van de View believes that there is
nothing more inane.
Than to frolic with the children-but he
thinks it all in vain,
For they beg him and beseech him and
at last he has to go
And assist them in the making of
creature in the snow.

CIT Y READY
TO F: TE
GUEST

CHICAGO. jan GA festiva
air prevailed in Chicago today as
the city awaited the arrival of the
train bearing William T. Cosgrove
president of the Irish Free State.
The private car bearing the dis
tinguished visitor and his party Is
scheduled to arrive here from New
York on a section of the Twentieth
Century Limited, shortly before IL
o'clock.
AS Chicago's official guest, Presi
dent Cosgrave will be given rous.
ing reception by civic officials and
supporters of his own government
But mindful that Chicago has
strong anti.Free state following,
authorities are taking every pre-
caution to guard against disorder.
Precautions Taken
More than one hundred picked
men will be in the crowd at the
station to act as body guard or
the Irish president. Under the
direction OF Major John Bauder.
honorary captain of the guard.
they will escort President Cos
grave to automobiles for the, cere-
5nonial parade. which will form inn
snediately upon his arrival.
l.
has been modified to insure peace
between the two factions of Irish
political sympathizers. Deputy Com
missioner of Police Thomas Wolfe,
who is in charge of arrangements,
said no chances would be taken.
A hint of what might be expected
IL the authorities relax their vigil,
was given last night when w. z.
Lyndon, editor of the Irish Repub.
lie, said pamphlets charging Presi-
dent Cosgrave is traitor already
are printed and viii be distributed
among the crowd at the station.
Threat Of Discord
Another threat of discord is seen
in a note to President John Dill
Robertson. of the West Park board.
It was sent by John F. Finnerty,
a Washington lawyer, son of the
late John J. Finnerty, whose statue
stands in Garfield Park.
ST am advised" says the mes
sage, that Cosgrave intends to lay
q wreath on my fathers nonu-
ment. As his son, protest against
this dissertation of my fathers
memory by a man who gained his
present position by betraying his
oath to the Irish Republic, which
my father, as a Fenian, sought to
establish. - sincerely trust that
you will see fit to prevent any such
attempt, particularly because if you
do not, / am certain my fathers
friends will
DIR. Robertson said he saw no
reason why any one should object
TO the laying of a wreath. He
promised ample police for the cere-
mony. Authorities said they knew
of no plans for the laying of tile
wreath. Trouble, the police say. is
improbable, but they will be pre-
pared.

CUBAN FARLEY
LOVE FEAST

HAVANA, Cuba. Jan. 21.-The
rough spots in Americas relations
with the other republics of the
Western Hemisphere. are rapidly
being ironed out in Havana.
Under the skillful but unostentA-
tious guidance of Charles E. Hughes
most of the trouble. that threatened
to make the Sixth Pan-American
Conference a fighting affair has
been dfssipated and, today. there is
every prospect that, after four or
five more weeks of diplomatic
maneuvering. the parley will come
to an end with the usual resolutions
of non-political character.
Around the committee tables-and
what is more mportant--around
the nightly dinner tables in Havana,
the real work of the conference is
being done. The self -effacement of
the United States delegation in the
matter of accepting important posts
in the conference, and the elevation
of the statesmen of the smaller re-
publics to those same posts Of re-
sponsibility has had a notable effect
in allaying the suspicion which some
of the delegates felt about 1.-THE
Colossus of the North" when they
came to Havana.
Outside of purely routine organi-
zation work the conference has not
attempted to accomplish anything
this week. Committees have been
appointed, have met and organized:
the physical machinery of the con-
ference has been assembled and put
in running order, but there has
been as yet no serious effort to get
down to the tissues" before the
conference. which embrace every
thing from interna tional hygiene
to international intervention.

SURVEY HEAD
 TRAVELLING OVER ALASKA TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH
 WILD LIFE OF TERRITORY

That the wild life of Alaska may be held In perpetuity for the future enjoyment of tourists, sportsmen and trappers, Paul c. Redington, head of the United States biological survey, Is now embarked upon long journey which will take him over the entire territory and require the en- tire summer for the trip. He left Seward last week on the government boat Seal for the far westward. ac- companied by II. w Terhune, execu- tive officer of the Alaska game com mission, Harry Payne Whitney of Philadelphia and John Seully of Chi cago. The two latter are big game hunters who will leave the Seal at Kodiak under the guidance of Al Blair, famous guide and hunter of the Alaska Guides, Inc. They will hunt bear on Kodiak and the Alaska peninsula for several weeks.
 Inspecting the biggest bird re- serve in the world which extends 1000 miles to the extreme tip of the AIeutians as far as Attu island Red ington and Terhune will visit Dutch Harbor, Unamak, Nieolosky and oth- CT places to the westward. It is re- ported that they will return to Sew ard after their western trip and go to Fairbanks, where they will either take boat or fly to Nome. They then intend to go to Circle and come back to the coast by way of the Richard son Highway.
 Mr Redington is reported as say ing that he has no important changes in the game laws of Alaska in mind, feeling confident that the present Alaska game commission is wisely administering present regu- Iations. He has never made trip over the territory since he succeeded Dr. Nelson at the head of the biologi- cal survey, and his present journey is undertaken with a desire to fa- miliarize himself with the great country over which he has jurisdic tion.
 On the westward islands and in the Nome country, MT. Redington will look into such matters as affect the well being of fox and reindeer. He will initiate study of moss and other verdure that constitute rein deer forage in an effort to explain strange diseases that sometimes break out among them. He is re- ported to be extremely enthusiastic over the prospect of so regulating the vast reserve of wild life in Alas ka, that 1t will always remain splendid asset to the territory, af- fording under proper restriction ex- cellent sport for the present genera tion as we'll as the generations to come.

Looking Backward.

Before mirrors we're invented, milady
could not be expected to know when
her hair was untidy behind or when her
figure did not present graceful APP
pearance from the rear. Now, with the
aid of harldglasses, triple mirrors and
long pier glasses there is no excuse for
the modern woman who fails to look
attractive from every angle.
A beauty blemish that often mars the
back view of a stout woman is a lump
or roll of flesh at the nape of the neck.
Poor posture always accompanies TINS
defect and Is the original cause OF 1t.
When the neck Is thrust forward IN
stead of being held up straight the ex-
cess fat accumulates at the Juncture OF
neck and shoulders. The remedy for
this condition includes correct posture,
neck exercises and massage. A gen.
eral loss of weight is usually necessary
also.
The massage for reducing the lump OF
fat on the neck is tapping and deep
kneading. Hold the head up while
nsssaging so that the flesh at the back
will be loose and easily manipulated.
After kneading the roll of fat for several
minutes. tap it briskly about 10 to ~
times with your hand held edgewise.
Another beauty problem that back
view of the figure may reveal is heavi-
ness around the hips. For most women
it is impossible to become really slender
through these parts. A certain breadth
at this point is characteristic OF the
normal feminine body, but the natural
Wilderness should not be allowed to de-
generate into fiabby fat.
