Or sometimes, when everybody

AS a matter of fact, she was

Then suddenly she married
that queer Jim Wilson. No one
could guess why. He was nor
rid to her, right from Cne
start, and everyone began being
sorry for her. Now they say
she's had IS years of hell. But
all I know is she's had Is years
of attention, and attention was
the best thing she wanted.
Just to Be Different
Maybe you'll think I'm a cat,
but I wonder if that wasn't
why she married him-just to
be different, to make herself
seem important. She never
could be important enough to
suit her in regular ways, but
you can always hog the spot

There are people like that.
They actually get a big bans

Just Girls Together
When hear people say that,
I wonder to myself, I wonder if
it really was such hell

for 916,121 persons and meals
for 2,823,047. And it announces
that this winter it will need
100000 beds and 100000
meals. This is one organization
in one city.
Everyone but the President
knows that, this winter, mil
lions will face the possibility of
starvation, and the National
Government marks time. Pleas
for an extra session of Con-
gress, to make provision now
for the crisis that is not four
months ahead, are treated
lightly. Sufficient unto the
day is the evil thereof"
A Depressing Picture
Of Our Rich Country
Mr.. Untermyer paints a de-
pressing picture Of conditions
in this, the richest country in
the world:
"With our granarieS over
flowing, our warehouses cram
med with cotton, our banks
glutted with idle money, with
too much oil, copper, coal, iron
too much of everything, ex-
cept heart and brains-One-
fourth of our population is,
or will shortly be, going
hungry"
Within the month we have
walked the streets Of Paris,
Rome and Florence without be-
ing approached by a single
person asking aims: on the
first day of our return we were
accosted by six men asking
money in the city of New York.
We would do better to transfer
a portion of our pity from the
plight of Europe to the plight
of America.
Urges Action Upon
$4,000, ,OOO,O 900 Loan Plan
Mr.. Untermyer urges the
President to summon an extra
session Of Congress to act upon
the plan Of Mr.. Hearst for a
$5,O00,OOO,O 900 prosperity loan.
The bonds would be overSub-
Scribed; the money could be
speedily set to work in putting
men to work, and some of the
money that gluts the banks
could do the work of humanity.
No one was staggered when
such loans were made to carry
on the destructive work of war.
enthusiastically we hailed the
opportunity to subscribe the
money to be used for purposes
of destruction, and 1t would be
a rotten civilization that would
think less Of an opportunity to
subscribe to the work of con-
Struction. The average person,
with heart and brain, IS more
interested in saving than in
taking human life.
Nor is it an answer to say
that the Liberty Loans were
for the preservation of the ma
ton and our civilization: that
is the purpose Of the prosperity
loan. ,.-. I.-.--

ties. He was anxious to use
for his Greek slave a picture
of the statue as it appeared
before the metal drapery had
been added to the nude fig
ure. And he found a cast of
the original statue in the Brit
ish Musuem, which fortunately,
had made the cast before the
statue was draped.
It is obvious that a nude
statue of this kind, to be ex-
hibited in the Vatican, even
in the gallery of antiquities,
called for the addition of the
soft metal drapery, although
it is anachronistic and takes
away from the beauty and
simplicity of the statue. In
the Vatican, of course, morals
come before anything else.
In the ordinary musuem of
antiquities, the statue would
naturally have been exhibited
as you see it in the picture on
the right, for it equals in mag
nificence any of the work Of
Praxiteles. It shows a beau
tifully formed woman, such as
God created and presented full
grown to Adam.
At the same time its pres
sentation in a religious edi-
flee would, of course, be un-
thinkable.
Some might suggest that re-
storing the right arm, which
has been done rather clumsily,
should have been omitted.
But the restoration seemed
necessary in order to give to
the statue the appearance Of
holding up the drapery.

Regardless of all that can be done
through scientific education of the
public, through the work of the
federal trade commission or any
other governmental body, such de-
vices continue to be promoted In

Airplane flights for the healing
of deafness have resulted only in
the deaths of many children whose
loss of hearing was not hySterical,
but the result Of congenital disease
or severe infection.
These children had lost their
hearing as the result of infection

of the nerves associated with hear
ing; by inherited infection, or
through anomalies Of the organs Of
hearing. These forms of deafness
can not be cured by any power Of

"JuSt as GOOd"2

A good many people have been asking Questions
since the Presidents Indianapolis speech about the
new federal employment service, the just-as-good-
substitute that was set up hastily after Mr. Hoover
pocket-vetoed the Wagner plan for organized job
finding.
These questions hard to answer because of the
secrecy that has been thrown around the Hoover
substitute.
The President while here, denounced the plan he
rejected, which would have endowed political
organizations with the gigantic patronage of work.

vicious tyranny ever set up in the United States"

Meanwhile just to keep the record STRAIGHT. IT. is
important to recall few provisions of the rejected
Wagner bill. -Four months have gone since this
measure was passed with overwhelming majorities by
Republican congress and it is possible in that time
to forget
The fact that Democrat was author of the bill
may have left hazy basis in many minds for be-
lief that politics was involved in the project.

appointment by the President himself of a director

Other officers employees, assistants of the service

anything else but his own wishes in making the ap-
pontments he has made If he believes he has saved
the employment service from politics by releasing hi4
appointees from civil service requirements he is en-
