According to dispatches from Mos
COW five ex-czarist generals have been
executed after having been charged
with plotting to weaken the Red army
and so permit foreign invasion. When
communist leaders in other nations
plot to weaken the army and permit
communist invasions this is regarded
at Moscow as real service. When it
comes home it is terrible, and capital
offense.
If an apple day will keep the doc

Sets Style

This lovely New York girl, now
appearing in George Whites famous
Scandals" has plenty Of personal
ity. Not only has she o Broad
ways admiration by the cleverness
Of her acting and dancing, but she
has literally set the style" for Fifth
avenue by the way she dresses her
hair.
Girls in my POSITION must do ev-
erything to keep their appearance
pleasing" says Miss Manners. But
I lead such a busy life that I can
only use the simplest methods. I
know I have discovered the easiest
way of doing my hair. It's so pop
ular now here in New York. 1t
keeps my hair so easily manageable
that I can dress it any way I want
and it stays in place wonderfully.

my brush every time / use it. My
hair was dull and wiry before I
started using Danderine. Now it's
so bright and sparkling and SO soft
and fluffy that every one compll-
mentS me. Danderine soothes my
scalp and keeps away all traces Of
dandruff. 1t keeps my hair and
scalp so clean, I don't need to
shampoo half as often as I used to-"
Danderine quickly removes that
oily film from the hair; brings out
its natural color; makes it fairly

Just mention babies to Jessica now
and she won't speak for twenty-four
hours. Jimmy says it's a case OF
false pretenses-and I'm afraid that
some fine night Jimmy will go down
to the water front and get aboard
a boat and go somewhere, a long
ways off, and forget all about
Jessica and the way she fooled him
into marrying her.
Somehow, I'm sorry for Jessica,
too. She really does love Jimmy,
but she was in business before she
married him, and she just can't
stand it to stay at home.
Maybe she reasy did think she
wanted a home and babies, and
flowers in the flower box. And

Jimmy tied down, and nailed down
and fastened down, he isn't SO ro-
mantle and enhancing as he was
and when it comes to a question of
either Jimmy or a job-Jessica pre-
fers the job.
What a pity it is that she didn't
know her own mind, isn't it?
Well, she's done better than her
sister anyhow. Her sister is a bust
ness woman too, and sisters husband
has a pain in his back-or some
thing-and he never keeps a job.
And sister not only has to wash and
iron his shirts, but she has to buy
them in the first place.
When Jessica thinks Of sister, she
feels that she's really made a great
match-I do wonder how Jimmy
honestly feels about it, don't you?
