TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras, Dec.
31.-The local newspaper, Gel Demo

ing that General SANDING, of the
Nicaraguan army of liberation, is on
the point of launching a new and
greater offensive to drive out the
u. S. Marines, which are keeping in
power tn etraitorous Diaz and will
tomorrow see that the equally trait
orous Moncada will take the presi-

that U. S. Marines will revenge
themselves on the civil population
of the district of Segovia, civilians
are evacuating their home in that
region.

The most amazing thing agitating
local politics is tn evote of the Yam

the Chamber of Deputies to give the
Yankee Marine officers the standing

This has excited comment, and

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
Doesn't it make your heart sick
to see so many boys devouring
these penny dreadfuls and so many
girls reading confession magazines,
said the man at - hook store.
Well, it does and it doesn't. When
one realizes the depth of dingy SEN
timentalisn embodied in our second
rate fiction, one easily could
succumb to encouragement. But
cheer yourself with this thought:
Bad reading is better than no read
ing at all.
The boys who bury themselves in
the wild life of Bob; the Bold
Bandit" will, we can hope, outgrow
him. By and by, perhaps some
discriminating person will slip
Treasure Island" into a grimy
hand, and the trick will be turned.
They Will Rise
While i - who rush home
from their work with lurid mag
azines clutched to their breasts, or
who sit gaping through the scenes
Of a vapid picture show, are merely
growing up. Many of them will
rise from mediocrity. Their minds
will demand something better and
finer; their tastes will develop and
their good judgment appear.
But, you say, suppose they never

lives liking that sort of thing?
Thousands of women do now, you
know.
Still, I contend, there's nothing tc
weep about. If all their lives
literature is represented to them in
the pages of cheap magazines and
sensational movies, at least they will
have had something. They will have
had a faint breath of romance, even
though it be cheap romance. They
will have had escape from the sor-
did montony Of their drab days.
There Is Hope
Their Pegasus may be but a stick
horse, but the mere fact that they
mount him and set off toward spec
tacular deeds is heartening.
When we consider the death of
beauty in the lives of SO many of
the people of this great land, how
can we grudge them deliverance
from their shabby world during the
short hours they spend thus in ro-
mantle mental journeyings?
AS education spreads, as wealth
grows, and as poverty is abolished,
the demand for cheap fiction will
subside. When the entire pcpula-
ton reads something, you may feel
sure that better books will be read.

Lightweight
Woods Win
High FaUOr
By HENRI BENDEL
NEA Service Writer

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-September
travellers will spend much OF their
shopping for clothes in the next lew
days' Of first importance is their
choice Of costume for steamer, train
automobile or airplane.
Many girls will be going to COL
lege, many abroad, some Will go
south and some west. Women who
STAY home will find need for at least
one travelling costume, for what
woman today doesn't run to the
next town for shopping, visiting
with friends or for weekend house
party?
The travelling costumes this au-
tunn are distinctly soft in line,
made of charmingly new lightweight
woods, and furnish fine examples Of
how far from the straight line styles
have departed.
Straight Line Passes
No suit coat, whether it is little
Jacket or one of the new three
quarter or seven-eights autumn
lengths, is straight line. The day
when two fronts and back are
sewed together on the straight, and
the result is called a coat, are passed.
More often than not the trick in
fit lies in the back line. Some cou-
turiers prefer f1aring back and
fitted front sections, others like the
fitted back and more or less loose
front.
Somewhere, either front or back,
the waistline must be traced and
in my opinion there will be many
coats, before the winter is out, that
are snugly fitted princess modes.
Fur trims many suits this au-
tunn. One may put long fur on
the under side of the sleeves, which
gives the effect of fur pillows to
lean on when one stops in her ships
walk to rest on the rail spell.
Spiral Trims Effective
Spiral or circular sleeve trims are
delightfully."- different this year.
Sometimes a little fiounce or ruffle
Of fur around the elbow Of a sleeve
is more effective than deep cuff.
Other sleeves may have an over
skirt of fur. A few sleeves are made
entirely of fur, in cloth coats.
s suit imported from Vionnet this
year has unusual grown caracul
trim. The suit itself has a skirt
with side pleats and a long coat of
tan tweed in a pebbly worsted.
Brown Caracul Used
Brown caracul fashions the lower
part of the sleeves, rounding out
into full sleeves, not unlike the old
Bishops sleeves, gathered into cuffs
that barely slip over the hands. The
collar is split in the back to show
a V Of the material and comes down
to points in the front.
The coat has raglan sleeves, deep
square pockets put on with points
top and bottom and a wide, f1aring
back section, with the front slightly
fitted.
Much softer in line is a little
Lucille Paray import of tan her
ringbone tweed, trimmed with
brown suede landings. The skirt
has two very, very deep box pleats
on its wrap-around side.

She Chained

Another interesting phase of the
murder is the accused doctors own
story of what happened as his ro-
nance Powered. First, he told how
charming and agreeable and in
teresting and companionabie the
girl whom he killed was. She asked
for little, he said.
They went into the whole adven-
ture with common sense" It was
"just a mutually pleasant arrange
ment." But as time went on, the
girl became unlike herself, he testi-
fed, telling of her irritability, jeal-
ousy, suspicion, unreasonable de-
mands."
And so two other human beings
have discovered that deep, deep
well of homogeneous possessiveness
which exists, all the surface ration
aliZing to the contrary.
Two other pitiable, distraught
human beings discovered that il
must be either, or" and not both

COLOR, color, color!
What a riot of it we have

races-every place where So
clety congregates to fritter
away the months when it is
distinctly questionable to be
in Paris. (Thereby condemn
ing us fashion crickets" to
appearing to be unfashion-

has the unhappy habit of
showing us winter fashions

IT is only few years, relatively,

sternly ruled by the mighty Paquin
frowned on anything like gayety of
color. Black and navy blue were
the rule, with occasional daring

bright colors or printed fabrics -
never! Those were reserved for the

But the years have brought many
changes. Modern art has made a
deep impression on present-day life
perhaps deeper than we realize at
the moment-and the Russian in
fuence, African influence and
others have made color a living,

What shall we do with the child
who comes to us with tales about
the other children he plays with
and reports the pranks or disobedi-
ence of his sisters and brothers-a
tattletale?
believe all mothers have this
stage to go through and most of
them are at a loss how to handle
it. There is one great danger; If
they take the common method of
scolding or staming child out of
the habit, he is likely to stop coming
to his mother with other things as
well. And is it worth losing his
confidence?
One mother recently spoke to me
about this very thing. But she
added bit of information that not
only explained why the child was
telling on his sister, but it made
it quite possible for his mother to
cure him of telling tales without
losing his confidence. She informed
me that he was very selfish, also.
1t Isn't Malice
In young children there is sell
dom any real malice behind tat
ting. In an older child the mo-
tive for running to a parent with
stories is perhaps not so innocent.
In a young child tale-bearing may
be caused by his feeling that a GER
tain thing is wrong and that his
mother really ought to know. He
knows that she wants him to tell
her If he does wrong. Why, then,
may he not tell on somebody else?
In the case of this particular
little boy, however, it was different.
1t is probably our old friend-or
bugaboo. Enthusiastically COM
pick again at work
The sister, who is younger, may
have been petted more than he and
he experienced the usual resentment
of the older child who has been
somewhat showed aside.
Reaction is Natural
The thing that happened was 6
perfectly natural reaction. A de-
sire to discredit his sister in his
mothers eyes would result from
either of these causes, also rath-
er pathetic attempt to bring a lit
tie glory on himself.
The selfishness his mother speaks
of is the key to this analysis. II
fts In perfectly. One OF the COM
unonest causes of self1shness is this
very kind of inferiority complex.
II, too, is an unconscious impulse
as far as the child IS concerned. The
mind works in q strange way. By
getting things for himself and get
ting his own way he Is making an
other attempt TO make himself i'm
pcTtant IN his own eyes. and to IN
crease his self-respect. Don't we al
