 In these days of specialization, the professions of Medicine and Pharmacy are still closely allied It is the special province of the physician diagnose disease and to prescribe for it. The pharmacist must have an intimate knowledge of all the modern agents which the physician prescribes, knowledge which he can only gain through long years of education ard training But in order to make living the druggist must sell chandise as we'll as professional service.

There are thousands who in
sist that Will Osborne originated
the individual method of singing
songs which Rudy Vallee uses so
effectively. In fact, unless 1
am grievously mistaken, Mr..
Osborne in person went to the
courts to have Rudy spanked for
what he said about him in his
book on this particular question.

pearance without the jacket that Of a
simple dinner gown.
While it is possible to buy many such
lovely costumes, with separate jackets
for each, an even more distinctive eff
feet Is achieved when the individual
jacket has a character all its own, yet
is an adjunct to several gowns. It's
beauty is not merely that of an Access
sorry garment Rather does the rest of
the dress tend to set it of.
1t is of interest to the needlewoman
to know the adornment most favored
upon this type of jacket, which, in itself,
is very easy to make. Beading Is the
choice, partly because 1t is both beauti-
full and fashionable and partly because.
used upon the light fabrics, 1t tends to
give them weight enough to hold them
in position. If beading Is not used,
some inserted weights are desirable
around the lower edge. Embroidered or
painted georgetteS are used effectively.
Lace, matching the color of the gown, is
sometimes used. Transparency is nearly
always a quality of such jackets. Their
object is not warmth, although some
times for this purpose their slight adj
ditional protection is welcome when
there is a draft. In the week end
visit such a jacket tucks easily into the
suit case and seldom returns unworn.
There seems to be no age limit, in
either youth or maturity, which pre-
Scribes its use.

Business Troubles.

Have you ever looked among "Busi-
ness Troubles" in the newspaper? I'm
der that heading are usually listed fail
ures, receiverships and bankruptcies. 1t
is sad reading for few homes, inter-
esting reading for some more, but no
reading at all for the majority. Yet
Business Troubles" have a significance
that escapes none of us.
Business troubles may begin at home.
A nagging wife who demands so much
Of her husband that he is forced to
speculate is the germ of many a bust
ness trouble. Not less so is the wife
who fomentS jealousy, discord and mis-
trust among partners.
While accounts we read do not prove
it, lack of working capital in a business
may be the outcome of home condi-
tions.V When children must go away to
college, or when an automobile becomes
a necessity, or when mother and sis
simply have to" get fur coats, father
must get the money from somewhere.
There is always the wife who man
ages to overdraw her bank account
monthly At first the husband is
amused. then he becomes annoyed and
finally he is dismayed He never knows
what the deficit will be and his mental
unrest is matched by his financial
shortcomings. One business is enough
for any man to manage and he should
be allowed to concentrate on his bust
ness in town.
why don't you go into that bust
ness? Bill Jones is making coolies of
money" says the well meaning wife,
and she lays seeds for future failure.

SUB ROSA


The crop of bachelors seems to be
getting to be more of a bumper one
every year. The boys are so busy
getting jobs and holding them that they
don't have time for us. Then, there
are so many restaurants and drug store
luncheonettes that they don't have to
worry about who'll cook for them.
We might moralize over this and in
quire to what extent the business girl
has Grabbed her own game of hearts
and thrown the monkey wrench into
her marriage machinery. We've be-
come such a self-feeding bunch OF
females that we have learned to dis
pense with meal tickets.
But there's another side to L. the
matrimonial untangling which is now
going on. The bachelor has a reputa-
ton for being sour and cranky and
there's a reason for his crab-like heart.
Where there's love, there's the
natural expansion and enrichment of
the heart. Love develops personality
and makes one feel that one really
exists. When we become conscious of
another person, we become conscious
of ourselves. Our petty, personal feel
ings give way before the big ones as the
green apples of the heart ripen into
rosy ones.
When guy sees that there's another
pebble on the beach, and a pretty one,
too. he forgets being selfish, cans his
egot1sm and opens up his heart until
there is room for two.
A boy develops into q bachelor be-
cause he can't see his way clear to love.
In some cases, he may be selfish, or he
may be sore because his girl has a job
about as good as mis-.
But just as often he keeps his heart
locked up for fear that some girl will
steal what he has there. As a matter
of fact, a mans heart doesn't contain
anything until it's stolen from him. A
girl commits burglary backwards by
breaking in to give something rather
than to take

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

February u, 1S61.-Unexpectedly re-
considering its action of yesterday, the
peace convention today ended its pro-
tracted labors here by adopting the So
called Franklin proposition as a basis
of settlement of the present difficulties
between the slave and free States
When the convention adjourned sine
die, many persons felt that the Union
had been saved.
1.-The House of Representatives will
indorse the settlement by the constitu-
tional majority required" says The Eve
ming Star this afternoon. Every bor-
der State has been saved to the Union
by the conventions work today, and the
return of the seeded States to the
Union is now but question of short
time"
The plan is in the form of a pro-
posed thirteenth article to the Consti-
tuition. 1t provides that in all the pres
ent territory of the United States north
of the parallel $3.50 slavery is pro-
hibited, while south of that line the
status of slaves shall not be changed
Nor shall any law be passed by Con-
gress or by the territorial Legislatures
to hinder the taking of slaves from any
State to any Territory south of the line,
nor to impair the rights of citizens
arising under such relation" When
a new State is admitted north or south
of the line, the question of slavery with
in its borders shall be determined by
