On Reading in Bed

All persons except those marvel
Gus exceptions who fall asleep the
instant they are horizontal, should
read in bed. The selection of a
book for this purpose is important.
do not advise anyone to follow
the example of King Ahasuerus,
and read the Congressional Record,
because If one reads a book that
is too dry, one cannot forget one
self; and the only chance to for
get oneself in slumber is to forget
oneself before slumber. On the
other hand, one should not read
anything connected with ones pro-
fessional work or any book that is
wildly exciting. The best bed books
are entertaining biographies or au-
tObiographies of a placid nature

Fawn Leaps to Front in
Color Parade in Spring

Fawn leaps 10 the front of the
color parade this spring. In every
house one sees dress and sports
coats and suits In rhe lovely soft
shade of fawn that is so becoming
and flattering. II is a splendid com
promise between brown and gray
with the good points of both.
Beige is another color that looks
like getting a good play this season.
Ii hasn't been ver- popular for
some seasons, but OF course there
are always some women who think
of their spring clothes in terms Of
a beige outfit.
Those of you who get a suit Of
fawn with brown fur will find that
you are right I'm the right picture
for spring. AS usual. there will be
some inordinately smart suits rich
ly befurred and grand for wear at
smart places from luncheon on.
A richly furred suit is decidedly
out of place in the mo ming and the
woman who buys only one suit should
be careful TO see that the model Is
not of the lavish type. Otherwise Its
usefulness will be limited, while
that of a simple. perfectly cut and
detailed suit Is endless.

"STONE AGE" MONEY
ON ISLAND OF YAP
Coins That Are Somewhat
Hard to Steal.

zap, you may remember, is a tiny,
almost microscopic island that is
part of the Caroline group, lying be-
tween Guam and the Philippines.
An insignificant spot of land as far
as size goes, it caused quite a poth-
er after the allies took it from Ger
many after the war. 1t is valuable
as a cable station and as a relay

til its status finally was settled.
This was done in 1922 by a treaty
signed by the United States and
Japan, recognizing the japanese
mandate over the island, but secur-
ing to the United States certain
cable rights.
Nothing much was heard about
zap again until about five years lat

announced that the inhabitants of
the island were snubbing us. At the

up to five tons. There is no mint

MARCHES NOT DESIRABLE

WASHINGTON police, alarmed by re-
w ports of proposed marches of the un-
employed on the national capital during
the next few weeks, are taking steps to
counteract such activities.
Reports from the capital state that
the police of various cities throughout the
country are being requested to cooperate
by doing whatever they can to discour-
age gathering of marchers in their COM
munities
No matter how much one may sympa-
thiZe with the sufferings of those who
have long been without work, bit of
reflection must show that marches on
the capital will avail them nothing. 1t
will not make their plight any palmer
to the national government, which is full
ly aware of conditions, nor is it likely
to do any good toward remedial legisla-
tion, which is dependent on action by
congress and that body has a habit of
taking its own sweet time undisturbed by
pressure that may be brought upon it.
Not even the crisis of a World war served
to speed congress when it wished to de-
liberate on proposed legislation.
A march of the unemployed upon the
national capital can only result in MAX
ing bad matter worse. We have an
example of that in the bonus army incl
dent of earlier in the year. A repeti-
tion of that affair is most certainly not
desirable.
The unemployed can best be aided by
remaining in their own communities
That truth is recognized by every well
fare and relief organization in the coun-
try and concentrated effort is now be-
ing made to induce people needing re-
lief to remain where they are known in
stead of wandering around the various
states.
A march on the capital, while not
new thing, has never served to accom-
plish its objective. CoXey tried it years
ago and the veterans tried it this year.
No matter how we'll intentioned the aims
of leaders of such movements may. be,
they are generally defeated by the in
ability of the leaders to control their fol-
lowers.
This discussion does not include the
question of the right of marchers to con-
verge on the capital if they wish. 1t
probably is their right, the same as it is
a mans right to place his head in lions
mouth if he wishes to do SO. But both
are dangerous and they accomplish
nothing.
