BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DALLAS, Tex, May 17.-Another
controversial subject before the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, South, was
settled today when the quadrennial
General Conference here voted to en-
large Episcopal supervision by the addi-
ton of three superintendent to the
College OF Bishops.
The new bishops, who will bring the
total to 16, will be named at secret
election next week.
Opponents of the memorial reported
by the committee on episcopacy de-
clared 1t would cost the church 500, 000
quadrennium, with each bishops
salary and expenses amounting to at
least 81, 900 year. The salary Is $4,000
The conference failed to reach an
agreement on the proposal to unity
church funds into a single budget
fund and the subject was made a
special order for next Tuesday.
Tonight delegates were discussing
the possibilities for the new bishops.

"The Cuckoos''
Still Making Them Laugh.
0'T>HE CUCKOOS" remains blithe-
ly at R-K-O Keith's for q
second week. This amazingly plot
less comedy has to its credit two of
the most ridiculous comedians that
ever trod the boards Of fllmdom.
Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey
are, in part, capable of reducing the
Sternest vertebra to whiting moth
ing, through a series of clownings
that should make even pastoral ami
mails roar with undisguiSed laugh
ter.
There are those, Of course, who
claim that the antics of these two
gentlemen produce for them only q
succession Of yawns. And there are
otherS-who in this case seem to be
the large majority-who say that
never In all their born days have they
witnessed such idiotic contortionS
with more complete JOY. At any rate,
or rather in either case, 1t is safe to
believe that the essence of 1.-THE
CuckooS" story can produce no sem
sation Of any kind, 1t being q mere
scare-crow of musical comedy
plot-apt to be even worse In the
original.
Once upon q time there was q
night club In Mexico which had ct
its back door q gypsy camp. Thus
the story starts, and thus the story
ends. although somewhere in its mid
die there is q love affair.
The gypsy girl is played with much
Zest by Dorothy Lee, and those two
mad and bad" buffoons, Wheeler
and Woolsey, besport themselves
through so-called society" and the
gypsy camp, toward the end, getting
themselves much mixed up with the
villain, who has, of course, abducted
the charming heroine. It all turns
out all right, so there is nothing to
worry about. And there Is a guar
antee that II you laugh once you
will laugh again, and again, and
again, etc.

By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, May 17.-Painting and
powdering is quite all right, in the opin-
ion of a large group of hotel managers
but when 1t comes to using the hostel
rvs towels as an aid, that's another
matter
So expensive a matter has it become
that the North Shore Hotel Association
representing 100 hotels, shortly will con-
slider ways and means of educating
women guests not to use the towels tt
remove cold creams, lipstick or to shine
shoes, E. r. Lucas, the associations
secretary, announced.
One hotel already has posted notices
informing guests that If the towels are
made unfit for further use, they will be
charged on the bill.

PROBLEMS OF
WOMEN IN
BUSINESS
By Lucy Lowell

NHE problem Of the Woman
in Business comes to this
column again. Miss Ida M.
Oakree writes from Boston to
inform me that, far from being
even in a fair way to settle
ment, the problem looms large
as ever, If not larger-now that
women really are achieving
positions Of responsibility and
high salary in competition with
men who view the whole pro
ceeding with disfavor.
AS If / didn't know it! Not q
day passes but I hear from
women everywhere who are
struggling against the same lin.
fairness, favoritism, belittlement
and male cusSedneSS generally
that Miss Oakree writes about.
Women are in business to
stay; they are making good and
proving themselves not only as
woman but as workers. In
time the old battle of the sexes
old as Adam and Eve-will
cease. But it will be q long
time-may as well face that.
Miss Oaktree's troubles Is with
male department head, her
direct superior, whom I Judge
from her description to be an
exact duplicate Of others hear
about all the time.
When things 60 right he takes
and receiveS-all the credit
with those in authority; when
things go wrong he passes the
blame along to Miss Oakree,
who does about three-fifths Of
the work in the department.
And because Of the unwritten
law prevailing in most organiza.
tions relative to the Nervousness
Of going over the superior's
head, Miss Oakree has no re-
course but to grin and bear it.
OF course she can go over the
buck-paSSer'S head; she can walk
into the front office and lay the
facts before the boss. If he is
the right sort he will listen to
her and investigate the facts
and right q wrong condition.
There may be some safe and
sane and square way of handling
situations Of this sort. do not
know what it is but I shall be
very glad to print suggestions
and experiences of my readers
If they will send them alonE.

straight, flared or belted. #
they flare, 1t is with discreet
width. neither extreme nor
abrupt. Belted coats usually
follow either the Vionnet
theme, widely wrapped, widely
belted like a Cossak's coat, or
they are rather tailored in de-
tail, their femininity achieved
through length of skirt section
and higher waistline.
Skirts on all suits are flat
about the hips with width in
the lower part Of the skirt.
They are practically all made
for a tuck-in blouse. though Of
course an overblouse may be
worn over the hipline.
Fabrics for sIlitS are their
chief claim to individuality.
They are so varied, so colorful,
so completely charming that
every woman can achieve an
effective, distinctive costume.
Loosely woven tweedS are per.
hapS the most important
fabrics, most of them with a
spongy texture, lightweight and
Z in monotone or multitone ef.
fects. The monotoneS are the
newest, but those combining
two or more colors will be the
most popular. Tweed-like jer-
seys and 1ersey-like tweeds will
also be popular, but will ap-
pear later in the season. Wool
crepes will likewise be seen
when the weather is a little
warmer. All sorts of nannish
SuitingS will be worn, and CO.
vertS are very good. Silk suits
will come in for late spring
and summer. Green, blue, red,
black, brown, black and white,
and beige will all be good. Gray
will also be seen, but will have
an exclusive appeal.
The blouse may match the
coat and skirt, may harmonic
in shade lighter, or may be in
direct contrast. Silk creeps are
most popular, with sheer crepeS
coming in. to lend some suits
more formality. There are also
new silk shirtings and silk
serges that are enormously chic.
Cottons appear occasionally. es-
pecially for later spring. and
cotton pique makes smart vests
for the more tailored type of
suit.

THE BEAUTY
BOX
BY Helen Follett'

Prolonged maStication of food
will help keep the teeth clean
and the gums free from patho-
genie bacteria. Dental floss
should be used once a day. It
is more important to brush the
teeth at bedtime than upon
arising; particles Of food, adher-
ing to the teeth, can set up q
state Of fermentation during
the night and cause an often
Sive breath.
Without O firm foothold the
body cannot have proper bal
ance. Moderately high heels
will pass, but spiked heels send
the shoulders forward when
they should be thrown back to
allow a free passage OF air
through the lungs. High heels
are responsible for bad pcs
ture and bad posture is reSpon-
sible for a list Of physical ills
as long as your arm.
The girl who has been
troubled for years with eXces-
sively oily hair may discover
to her diSmay that her hair
has never been thoroughly
shampooed and the oilinesS Is
merely an eYer-present film OF
soap scum. Once in, 1t won't
out. Sometime so soap agent
will remove it, in which event
the hair should be cleaned with

The head-waiter should be

consult him about the arrange

possible, it is better to fee the
waiter, too, beforehand But
this cannot always be done, as
Is possible in the case of the
