CUTS SILK HOSE
BILLS IN TWO

A New York fashion expert has just
made a wonderful discovery. Realizing
the expense of constantly buying silk
hose and lingerie. she learned that with
perspiration comes an oily excretion
from the sebaceous glands that causes
silks TO rot.
Soap and water she found were In
adequate. Only a solvent ike Ener-
gine cuts this film Of oil.
So when next washing silk hose or
dainty undergarments. add table
spoonful Of Energine to a quart Of
lukewarna. soapy water. Wash thor
oughly-rinse well. Note the new. fresh
cleanliness-see how the original color
is revived so easily and with less rub
bing. After using this new method,
you'll be amazed at the difference In
results from washing in just soap and
water.
And when you eae how many more
weeks wear you ssat from silk hose.
you'll be more than deligbted-it's real
economy. Energirs is unexecelled also
for quickly removing all dirt and
grease spots from dresses, hats. shoes,
gloves, ties. Large can S5c.--Adfertise-

Just
EUey
Day
Sense

I'D ERTRAND RUSSELL, who
ID processes to be an interpreter
Of all things modern, says that
women regard all other women
as their competitors. Any story
against another woman instantly is
believed, even on the firnSiest evil
dence, and one woman rarely can
watch another woman without
struggling to draw derogatory in
ferences."
This, as we can all see, is merely
a neat way of paying compli-
ment to the men. And Mr.. Rus
sell was unfortunate in his choice
of the word struggling" No wom-
an ever really struggles to draw
derogatory inferences.
The thing comes quite easily
and naturally to her if she belongs
to the unpleasant type that
amuses itself with such things.
But we are not ready to con-
cede that Mr.. Russell should be
so sweepingly general in his re-
marks. AS a rule, women are not
inimical to each other. This idea
is only another pet theory Of the
men who love to fancy a world
of ladies vying for their favor.
n
MIR. RUSSELL and others
1VA might be surprised if they
could get the lowdown on wom-
ems opinion of them. I fancy
that our sex would not suffer toe
much by a comparison.
Indeed, it has not been many
years since mothers warned their
half-grown daughters not to
loiter too near the barber shop,
else they would be subjected to
the ribald and often nasty re-
marks of men who frequent them.
This old theory that women are
cruel to women long since has
been refuted by women them
selves, who today are helping
their kind individually and
through organizations.
If you will read novelists like
Jane Austin and others of a later
period, you will find that in those
days feminine thoughts were
colored entirely by those of men.
When life was hardest on us, men
made public opinion.
1t is through the efforts of
valiant women that our sex today
enjoys liberties undreamed of by
the girl of fifty years ago.

sachusetts, proposed two remedies
that call for immediate application
and acceptance. One provides for
liberal appropriation of government
tai funds to beused in relieving hun
ger, suffering and distress. The other
measure provides for the Inaugural
tion of the fve-day work week
throughout the government employ
ment service as an emergency meas
ure designed to open up increasing
opportunities for employment.
Heroic Action Needed
The American Federation of La
Dor gives its most hearty and un-
qualified support to these measures.
If increasing distress, intense hunger
and social suffering are to be relieved
funds must be made available. The
reports which show widespread unem-
ployment with aggravated distress
call for heroic action and practical
treatment.
"No one can deny that the situation
is serious and that it will become
more serious during the winter pc
riod
''The fve-day work week is prac-
tical and necessary, if the opport-
tunites for employment are to be en-
larged and increased 1t is not an
untried experiment. 1t has been ac-
cepted in very large way and has
proven to be an economic and indus
trial success. The time has arrived
when the fve-day work week should
be well-nigh universally accepted and
established. With our increased and
perfected facilities of production it
is impossible to find employment, ex-
eept during peak periods, for all those
who make up our laboring population.
Government Should Lead
The federal government should
/, lead, instead Of follow, in the inaugu-
ration of this economic reform. Sen
ator Walsh has sounded a most con-
structive legislative note. His meas
ures should be given the support of
all classes of people who are actually
seeking for a remedy for our acute
unemployment situation. Let all
those who are deeply touched by the
serious situation which prevails
throughout the land rally to the sup
port of these constructive measures
by petitioning congress to enact them
into law without unnecessary delay.
An emergency exists and it must be
met through the enactment of emer-
gency legislation.
