As Long as Tories Retain
Macdonald, the World Can
Feel Assured of Careful,
Constructive Leadership.

NEW YORK. Oct. 29.-Summing
1 it up, the British election
amounts to a great personal tri-
umph for Premier Macdonald and
a great political triumph for the
Tories.
If radicalism has been dealt
smashing blow, so have some liberal
ideas.
The amazing switch in popular
sentiment can be explained only on
the ground that many Englishmen
thought their country's very exis-
tence at stake.
George Bernard Shaw is not far
wrong when he says they got
scared and stampeded.

body, and, therefore, has the adj

nature has established in order to
protect it against attack.
Washing the skin is a good meas

Living dirt includes germs which al

ready to attack, provided they find

An opening is any spot of les

from a bruise, rubbing by a saw

The skin has, perhaps for it's 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

Money Tells Story

TITO certain extent, rule by great
L financial interests has been in
dorsed, but that is not such an I'M
mixed evil as some folks imagine.
Great financial interests may
have their weak points, but they
are less likely to commit irreparable
plumbers in a situation such as
England faces than are those who
know little, or nothing about
finances.
If the capitalistic system implies
anything, it is a definite relation
ship between finance and politics.
So does every other system for that
matter, as Communist Russia is
learning to her cost.
You have only to read the legends
on a dollar bill to realize how init
mately the government is associ-
ated with money, or how much peo-
pie depend on that association.

Point Illustrated ViyidIy

TINE problem which England and
4 every other civilized nation
faces is to perfect a highly or
ganized financial, commercial, and
industrial mechanism in such way
as will leave the greatest possible
degree of individual liberty and the
greatest possible incentive to per-
sonal initiative.
The system itself involves a
tremendous amount of Socialism,
which is one reason why people
hesitate to let government go too
fast, or too far iii that direction.
and why they are so quick to turn
on government if it does.
The English election illustrates
this point wildly.

MANY diScouraging prophecies
we're heard as the plans proceeded.
Radium experts in New York City
assured the projects that five
inches of steel would stop all radia-
ton.
The literature likewise, although
it described attempts at photography
of the human body by gamma rays,
concluded that the results were not
satisfactory.
"The rays would be too short in
wavelength to affect a Photographic
film, at least those rays which had
penetrating power. the rays would
give no sharp definition on the film,
no detail; they would be blurred by
the scattering of rays from sur
rounding objects; the danger in
handling the radium would be too
great; the cost would be prohibitive.

Experiments Succeed
TINE success of the principal ex-
i perimental campaign was be-
yond the highest hopes of those in
terested in the development of the
investigation.
"Clear-cut shadows Of defects in
the interior of steel objects eight,
ten, and even twelve inches thick
had been registered on the film,"
Professor Doan says. "Tiny flaws,
only 2 per cent Of the thickness of
the whole object, had been clearly
revealed.
Practical advantages of the
method for examining metal struc-
lures was at once obvious. The tiny
capsule of radioactive matter was
so easily transported that it could
be carried anywhere-into a sub
marine, up to the top of sky
scraper-into the machine shop or
foundry-anywhere that a large
object needed examination. It is not
anchored to a laboratory in any
way.
Films were simply pasted on to
the back of an object, and the
radium mounted in front of it for
the exposure. OF course suitable
films and scenes had to be used to
get the proper result.
Later the film is removed and
developed to show the shadows cast
by the object in the path of the
rays.
"A thousand small objects could
be exposed at once by simply plac-
ing them in spherical distribution
about the radioactive source.
mo large investment in testing
machinery, due to become obsolete
in ten years or less, was necessary.
because radium, the only costly in
Vestment, does not decay to half its
strength for 1000 yearsl
The cost Of the testing operation
was well within reason, if radiun1
could be procured at a fair figure.
No risk whatever to the operator
was necessary.

The courtroom was crowded the next day when the Merryman fam- fly took their places around the de- fendant's table. Corrinne's lips were very red, her skin was ivory and rose, and her dark eyes sparkled. Only by looking deep into them |. deeper than anyone had time to do E. could the tragedy of some thing that had been lovely and now was very broken be seen. Her dress was a straight and simple brown. not dull, but one that sparkled with the gleam of woodland fires until 1t grew orange, and her short fur jacket matched.
 Sue watched her and wondered if she really cared so much about Harry. Then she saw Harry him. self coming into the room. He made his way to the table. Cor rinne caught her breath, little too quickly. But she smiled for the benefit of the spectators and when even leaned over and spoke. She would play the game, head up, she was telling herself!
 Sue had seen her own face in the mirror in the hall as she en- tered the court room and she had been surprised because it hadn't changed. She still had dark blue eyes, and they were wide and bright. She had almost believed that they would be dimmed with fear. Her dark hair curled around the small tricorn hat of green rib- bon which matched her suede pumps and the crepe de chine in the neck and sleeves of her black crepe dress.
 But when her eyes rested on her

the pain was. She felt that it was dark and cool and she could hear a faint sound of tapping water.
 Her throat felt parched and swol- len, her tongue thick, and her breath choked her. Before her thoughts reached clearness sudden ly strong invisible fingers loosed the bandage at her month and forced small round pill between her teeth. She tried to struggle against it, but lying as she was, bound hand and foot. unable to move her head, she could only swal- low it. And immediately her thoughts went cloudy again and she slept.
 Occasionally she half wakened to feel that she was in great pain. in terrible danger, and always she could hear that curious sound of water very close to her. But her mind was too bemused for her to realize that she was in a boat. Twice, as she seemed to remember, the unseen hand loosed her ban dage, placed the little round pill in her mouth, and tied her fast once more.
 Apart from being dazed with the drug and bruised from the ropes sick, too, from exhaustion and ex- posure-she was uninjured. Her amazement when they told her that Benito had Kidnapped and held her for ransom was beyond expression. "Benito!" she gasped. My big blessingl oh, impossible" l She wanted them to bring him Unto her presence immediately, help | less and sick as she was-she want ed to ask him herself if he had done lit. But Benito. alas, was in the county jail.

 Not that they don't know about and desire these work-savers, but what are they to use for money? I'm here to tell the other half that in this machine age, thte greater number of homes are still running on elbow grease.
 Up at seven, cooking, dishwash- ing, bed-making, cleaning the house, washing windows, sewing, mending. marketing, washing, ironing. In their spare time nursing sick chil- dren, losing sleep, and worrying. For money is the biggest worry of all. It gets to be a habit.
 They do it for love or probably they would not have strength to stand it-for love gives strength. But few men would do 1t even for love. They couldn't stand the tear ing strain of house work, child bear ing, and family welfare. What I think is that woman needs to be rescued from herself. The family takes her too much for granted and she accepts the re- sponsibility and valves the thanks. After all husbands do, or should, get Sundays off. Then cannot the family club together and shove mother out on a holiday at least one day a week, and have auntie or somebody in to help out? Not to get away from the family, so much as to get away from herself and to forget the patch, she should be put ting on Johnny's pants or the whole wheat bread she promised for Dads new diet.

NANCY PAGE New Hats Short on Grown
 But Long on Brim
 By Florence GA 0anke.
By Florence fA csnke.

Said Nancy when she looked at the new hats, ."Well, if femininity and romanticism have not come back I can't interpret styles"
 The hats she was looking at were made of the softest straw, soft as cloth. They had shallow crowns. shallower even-than they have been the past few months. The crown becomes merely an excuse for a brim. for brims there are, only they are so placed on the hat that they resemble halos, rather than shady bandings.
 Flowers appear coquettishly on brims swoop down about the face, always leaving the forehead open to the world at large.
 Nancy looked at a new straw called "toyo." It, is panama and is effective in soft and dropping hat. Another hat was made of ramie in black. It had the shallowest of crowns and a trim of satin in a color. Another hat was of soft, white Milan with wool tricot crown and a white flower trim.

Have you seen the delicately color full new spring face powders?
 There are many new tones on the market that make the game of getting just the right shade an ex- citing one.
 Perhaps you have seen the crowds of interested women standing in de- partment stores watching experts at the powder counters mixing powders for customers. You may even have been customer and by now have had your powder mixed to match yourself and nobody else.
 If you know you have the right powder for daytime, so much the better. But why not be a little bit adventuresome and try out some pastel colored evening tones that you haven't used before?
 There are soft, pale blues, greens. manuve. lavender, an ochre that looks positively salmon colored, dead white and fully half dozen shades of rachelle. You should let an ex- pert help you select your evening face colors. You may need a mix ture of two colors to give you that irresistible allure under the electric lights. But, generally speaking. here are some rules to go by when cast ing your eye in the direction of odd cheeky shades for spring evenings:
 Orange powder is good for pale people with sunburnt hair.
 Mnuve gives seductive pallor, especially good on too ruddy an En- glish complexion.
 Lavender is bewitching and makes one fair in a glamorous way and every complexion can wear it. ex- cept the olive brunei.
 Green can make a brunei glam- orous, worn with new spring col ors that have vividness. Blue gives blondet something that makes you think she has every thing. but it is good worn only in the evening, with delicate colors, es- pecially that icy-blue that is new and stunning or dead white, and Q glittering white gown at that

 Harry didn't answer. Corrinne had expected him to. He was play ing a part just as she was, but he would make no unnecessary ges- lures. Sue was thinking the same thing. And wishing that the trial would start. Why didn't the bailiff get up and start his Hear ye, hear ye" or whatever it was the bailiff said when he opened the court.

 But neither Benito's story nor the reports from Chicago told everything. Truth is not necessar- lily the whole truth. In this case it was nothing like it.
 
 With diabolical patience he had awaited the favorable moment for Ginger's abduction. Everything was ready.

I have said and said again, livery mother needs a day week off" I say it still. She does.
 Right here the high priest may be snorting, "Hmf! don't get day a week off. And how on earth could a woman get away with a family depending on her! Maybe she ought to have a day now and then, but a day a week! It just can't be done."
 Oh, can't it? The old story of the man in jail ought to prove that anything can be done.
 Now when a lady has maid, or a simple house, with say one child. and can manage to bootleg a little time off every other day for a bridge party or matinee, I'm not caring a lot whether she gets her holiday or not. Under these circumstances I'd say that life was treating her pretty we'll as 1t is.
 But there are, in spite of reports to the contrary, and the howl about our shrinking population. many thousands of women who have two. three or seven children, and no help. These women have not passed out of the picture by any means. be- lieve that these women are still typ1- cal American mothers and are prob ably referred to as the backbone of the country.
