Smiling women" This Is not
H. only pleasant idea, 1t is an ex-
tremely beneficial one as we'll
II the countenance reflects the thought,
1t is possible that a reversal of this &C
ton may be effective, too, and that,
with a smile upon our faces, our
thoughts may be diverted into pleasant
and kindly channels, even though they
were not running there before. The
only visible symbol of a persons atti-
tude toward us Is exemplified in his as
pect. and when the visage beholding US
| Is a smiling one, we assume naturally
that there is good will and fellowship,
and we respond accordingly. I am sure
that any woman when she wants to see
how attractive she really is, beams upon
herself before her mirror.
No beauty lotion can remove as well,
or quickly, the lines of age or care as a
smile. So, ladies, when it concerns a
choice between growing old or smiling,
will you hesitate for long?

Mexican Women Not
Qualified TO Vote.
FL Universal, Mexico City.-According
to Senior Manuel Collado, one of the
| legal advisers of the government, wom-
an isn't qualified for the electoral func-
ton. Although Senior Collado admits
that In other respects woman is the
equal Of man, and has equal rights I'M
| der the law as to the enjoyment OF life,
liberty and privilege, still there Is
| nothing at present in the Mexican con-
stitution which will permit the admis-
sion of women to the polls.
The ballot is masculine privilege
exclusively. The functions of govern
| ment naturally devolve upon men, and
| those who must enforce and uphold the
| laws should be the ones who devise
| them and elect the officers. Men and
| women are co-partnerS In Society-one
sex Is essential to the other, but that
does not mean that their functions
| Of government than they are in the
manifestations of nature.

Calendar Reform
On in Russia.
Cologne Gazette-The introduction
of the unbroken working week has
brought about a new calendar reform
| in Soviet Russia. From now on the
| week will consist of days instead of 2
| and there will be 70 weeks in year in
stead of the present SO. Saturday and
Sunday, the Jewish and Christian Sab
baths, will be abolished altogether, the
| 6OVleC having no use lOI tIlcoc IclBlOllo.
The number of the months remains I'M
changed, but a month will consist of 6
weeks instead of 4, and thus comprise
| 80 days. The five days remaining at
the end of each year under the func-
tioning of this eccentric calendar will
be converted into grand national holi-
day.
| This experiment will be watched with
intense interest outside of Russia, to see
whether the seven-day week is divine
ordinance or merely an arbitrary con-
vention of man.

| LIE Matin, Paris.-Women have a new
quality today, an additional charm,
which not SO very long ago used to be
