and perhaps finally settling the interna-
tional controversy resulting from the
sinking of the schooner I'm Alone OF
the coast of New Orleans.
The boat was sunk by Coast Guard
patrol, nominally under direct COM
mand of Administrator Jackson. One
life was lost, while the lives of others
were saved by the patrol boat crew.
Under the agreement in force be-
tween various countries the United
States in return for granting foreign
vessels the right to bring unlimited
stores of liquor under seal into our ports,
obtained permission to seize rum SNUG
glers at any point along the coast of
the United States that was within an
hours sailing distance. =,
The controversy that resulted in the
exchange of notes with the State De-
partment and Canadian officials is pc
lieved to have started over the question
of whether or not the United States was
within its rights in the I'm Alone
matter.
Bringing together Commissioner Doran
and his aides, Pennington and jackson,
may result in some decision on this
matter, it was believed. That could not
be confirmed here tonight however.
Pennington's experience in dry law
enforcement and naval affairs indicate
that he would be the logical man for
the prohibition executive to call for
counsel in such a case. He has had
more than 20 years experience as an
officer in the United States Navy, and
should the I'm Alone sinking be the
subject matter Of discussion during the
meeting here, it Is believed he would
be able to render valuable advice to
his brother executives on the question.

PGtOu and LeLOng GiUe
NeW Distinction to
the Silhouette

EOR a long time American
Il women debated as to
whether they would accept the
new fashions. However, the
matter has at last been solved
and the change has been vel
coined, somewhat reservedly for
daytime, but Fundamentally
for evening. The new silhouette
with its high waistline comes
as a welcome change to the
straight lines which have been
featured for the past few years.
Patou sends the exquisite
gown on the left, Of ivory
satin. The surplice bodice is
gracefully draped to the high
waistline, and the much-desired
intricacy Of detail gives dis
tinction and charm. The back
is cut in a very low v, from
which floats a circular cape
falling very low. To avoid any
fullness which might exist at
the waist. this famous cou-
turier advocates the use Of
boned slips.
More sharply defined as to
line is the gown which Lee
long has designed of dahlia
transparent velvet. The nor
NAL waiStline is encircled with
narrow belt of deeper shade
velvet fastening in the front
with an amethyst clasp, and
an amusing treatment is given
the waist by the use of
simulated bolero, very high in
front and assuming capelike
proportions in the back. The
skirt with its double tier of
shirred ruffles clings closely to
the figure, and the flounce at
the bottom dips into the longer
line at sides and back.
Women have adapted the
higher waiStline to meet their
individual style. just as they did
with the low waist. For some,
the strictly normal waist is
vastly becoming, but as a rule
and strange as it may seem. one
inch above the normal is most
becoming. for it eliminates the
curve that occurs below the tight
waist.
If you find that this does not
prove becoming, blouse the dress

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
When you have sent a friend

proper thing to say when he or
she thanks you for it? I have
always said you are welcome"

2. When a boy Cor perhaps
I should say a friend) tells you
how nice you are looking what
should you answer?

at a party a few days ago:
Jean, you are looking very
fine this evening. I like your
dress very much. It is very be-
coming" And I just answered,
IT h ank. YOU" Was this
proper? JEAN.
I agree with you that "You
are welcome" does not sound as
il it were enough think
that is what you mean instead
Of correct" don't you? "You
are welcome" sounds sparse, as
If we did not know quite what
to say in return for the express

easier to say, 1T was q great
pleasure to me to send it, and
am glad that you liked it," or
Il am so happy you liked it," or
Il hope it made you half as
happy as it made me to send
it," .--
2. Yes, this answer was
proper, but it. too. was sparse.
Here, also, it would be easier to
say a bit more, to indicate our
"accustomednesS." For instance.
Thank you so much. You are
very kind to say So" or "You
are most kind to say such pleas
ant things. ThaEx you so
much" or Thank y VI, Bob. l

dress" or Aren't you friendly
to say so? Thank you so much.
That's high praise from you,
for you have such good taste in

Wounds around finger nails
and toe nails must not be
neglected; they are more liable
to start up a pus formation
than wounds elsewhere. On
these abrasionS it is not wise
to put iodine. A better appli-
cation is compound tincture of
benzoin. Girls who have the
bad habit Of digging at ingrow-
ing toe nails and who break
the tender skin should apply
benzoin at once. Remember,
compound benzoin! The simple
