ply to the skin any bland ointment.

been removed in washing.
The modern woman's toilet includes
the application of all sorts of mas
sages and creams for the care of the
skin. Massage has the advantage of
increasing the circulation Of blood in
the skin and of stimulating the tis-
sue. However, it is possible through
too vigorous massage to irritatc the
skin or to bruise it in such way
that It is easily infected. Ordinary
ointments or creams applied to the
skin during massage are used prim-
arily to lubricate, and thus to pre-
vent bruising. Cleansing creams are
used chiefly to soften the dried oil
and perspiration.
The proper process would be first
to cleanse the skin with so-called
cleansing cream or preferably with
good mild soap and water, and then
to use pure slightly oily cream for
purpose Of massage. In general,
however, it is safe to say that the
best care of the skin is to have good
normal health, which enables the
body to take care of the skin satisfac-
torily. The demands Of the possess
sion of a healthful skin are merely
ordinary cleanliness and ordinary
careful attention.

Smoking Women

DR.. Clarence True Wilson, secretary
of the Methodist Board of Temper
ance, Prohibition and Public Morals,
is a man of great ability and un-
doubted sincerity. Yet when he says
-as he did In an interview at Cleve-
land the other day-that "every
smoking woman on earth would have
been drinker in our saloons. il the
saloons were open," it is q little hit
hard to believe that he means pre-
cisely what he says.
Indeed, 1t Is hard to see just what
the connection between smoking and
drinking is. Undeniably, the practice
of smoking has gained many femi-
nine adherents in this country dur
ing the past decade; yet the places
where a woman who smokes is re-
garded as lost soul are very remote
and hard to find nowadays. To as
sumo that every woman who enjoys
a cigaret would also enjoy spending
her spare time in the corner saloon, If
she had the chance, Is to make a
rashly unqualified statement.

The skin is intimately associated
with the rest Of the body, and there
fore has the advantages OF the
mechanisms that nature has estab-
lished in order to protect 1t against
attack. Washing the skin Is good
measure for the removal from the
surface Of the skin Of dirt, living
and dead. Living dirt includes germs
which are always present and which
are ready to attack, provided they
find an opening. An opening Is any
spot of lessened resistance, such as
may result from q bruise, rubbing by
a saw-edged collar, and any similar
attack.
The skin has. perhaps for its own
protection, an oily substance put out
by the glands in the skin. This
oily substance is saponified by aka
line soaps and is, of course, partly
removed by rubbing the skin with a
brush or even In ordinary bathing.
Some soaps attack this oily material
much more seriously than do others,
and for this reason some soaps are
more irritating than are others.
After the skin Is washed and the
oil removed during the cold weather,
if the skin is then exposed to the cold
before it has had time to secrete
additional oil, there develops the type
Of roughness that is called chapping

His Premise Is Wrong
Omaha WOrld-Herald)

After pointing out that "they have
been telling us all along that more
liquor is made and consumed since
prohibition than before" Public
Pulse contributor proceeds to win
his audience by adding that "they
are now saying that if We will repeal
the Eighteenth amendment and re-
turn again to the free and unlimited
coinage of booze, the demand for
grain will be so great that prices
would Immediately advance and pros
perity come back on the rum
Apparently our correspondent Is
laboring under the delusion that pro-
hibition liquor is made from grain.
This assumption qualities him as an
honest, practlclng dry. Any person
who has ever imbibed, however mod
erately, of the alcoholic product in
which this unhappy nation is now
afloat knows that a bootlegger, after
having poured in his water, TINT, dy-

If Spain Starts Divorce

The extent Of the change that has
come over Spain since the estab-
lishment Of the republic is strikingly
illustrated by the news that the Ma
tional Assembly has put into the re-
public's proposed constitution a pro-
vision for divorce by mutual consent.
Under the monarchy, Spanish law
provided for no divorce at all. The
new provision-provided that the law
is accepted by the Spanish people
would make divorce almost as easy
as it is in Russia. The contrast gives
the measure of the change which the
nation is undergoing.
Incidentally, if the law stands, It
may be that Spain will find herself
getting slice of the rich American
divorce trade. In recent years the
Paris divorce has been popular among
rich and restless Americans. Will it,
in the near future, be replaced by the
Madrid divorce?

EngIand's Short Campaign

"A correspondent OF The Tribune
comments in a letter on the fact that
England, on October 27, elected 625
members Of parliament after a cam
paign lasting less than 20 days. He
points out that the former parlia-
ment was prorogued by the king on
October and the next day the COM
missioner Of elections called for the
election Of a new parliament. Un-
der English law the election must be
held 20 days after the call and the
result was an election October q.
Since nominations did not officially
close until October l8, it was posi-
BILE for some candidates to have been
elected after a campaign lasting only
nine days.

Our Automobile Business

1t is rather surprising to hear that
the export trade has accounted for
practically all of the increase in pro-
duction Of American autos since 1923.
A survey conducted by a University
Of Michigan expert shows this to be
the case, and indicates that the do
mestic market has not appreciably
expanded in eight years.
Production abroad by American
companies" remarks the survey, "will
do more to limit our future exports
than competition from European pro-
ducers."
The automobile business, thus,
seems to be pretty securely in Amer
lean hands. Yet one is entitled to
wonder just how much this will help
the ordinary American worker if
American factories located overseas
are going to grab off most of the
export trade. That is point which
the tariff makers might ponder over
little.

Opposite Views

Dramatically opposite views ot the
possibility of saving 12-year-old boy
from the human wreckage heap have
been expressed by a Catholic priest
in Omaha and member OF the
Wickersham Law Enforcement Com
mission in a case sufficiently sensa-
tional to excite public interest.
The founder of Father Flanagan's
Home for Boys in Omaha has asked
that 12-year Hubert Nicolls, SEN
fenced to life In prison for Staying
a deputy sheriff at Asotin, Wash, be
paroled to him. He believes the boy
could be reformed and made into a
good citizen.
Kenneth Macintosh, former judge
of the Washington supreme court
and a member Of the Wickersham
body, says the boy should have been
hanged. He gave it as his opinion
that the boy, by heredity and train
ing, was essentially worthless and
criminal and the world would be bet
ter off without him. The need for
hanging, in the jurist's view, lies in
the fact that persons sentenced to
life terms too often are freed after
a few years.
It might well be that society would
profit by hanging all of its evil-doerS
as the judge seems to suggest. Per-
haps children born in unhappy en-
vironments Or of parents whose worth
has not been proved should be
slaughtered at birth. If they consti-
tute a social problem, as did this boy
in Washington, that would be dras-
tic If uncertain solution.
But one wonders how the learned
judge would feel If, the boy having
been convicted, he were called upon
to place q moose about that 12-year-
old neck and spring the trap. Per-
haps even so stern citizen as Judge
Macintosh would quail at the pros
pect or, the job accomplished, he
might have more than one sleepless
night with the specter of frail and
dangling little body staring at him
from the shadows.
The world, being hopeful place
will give more support to Father
Flanagan's idea than to that of Judge
Mackintcsh At the lads trial it was
not denied that he had killed the
man for whose murder he was on
trial. His attorneys contented them
selves with presenting a picture OF
Huberts home life. 1t was one OF
constant strife and quarreling, Of
chickering's between the parents, Of
moral unconcern, of misery, squalor
and hopelessness. The jury returned
the verdict of life imprisonment and
during the trial the 60-pound boy
spent most Of his time in jail play
ing his harmonica.

whose home has harbored thousands
of friendless waits, many of them now

the lighter, more hopeful view. He
