of EYES. How in heck any one can
make them with expression and from
every angle has me stopped"
These are not in the nature of a
lesson. That is, no crude drawings to
show you the beginning as have

finished eyes, just to look at, and see
why one looks mad and another glad.

Last Word
In Style

Go out to dinner and wear one
of the smart new dinner gowns
so nice for informal evening
wear. A nice model is done in
black chiffon and the square
decollete is outlined with rose
pink satin ribbon which runs
under the chiffon and makes a
flat bow in front. There is
shirring at the hips and
shirred side panels on the skirt.
Go away wearing practical
but smart travelling clothes. A
smart travel coat is done in
heavy rough navy woolen and
silver buttons fasten the belt
and adore the deep gauntlet
cuffs. The wide revers turn
back to show a bright green
scarf that comes through Sits
in the collar.

flames licked her, Laurel crashed
blindly into table near the
exit.
God! She's afire!" Hell!
Stop her!" Catch her!" The
cries of the shocked spectators
echoed about the place.
But Bruce Harvey was first
across the room after her. AS
she tripped and fell headlong

himself on top Of her.

the force of his two hands

Your Health
And Diet
BY Logan CIendening, M. D.

Writers who address the pub
lie about the common cold are
likely to let their subject run
away with them.
In order to give point to their
remarks they draw a lurid pic
ture of the dreadful diseases
which follow in what they call
its wake" With this founda-
tion they are in a position to
croak out the warning, Avoid
catching cold"
They conveniently omit to
give any exact methods OF
avoiding the cold, except the
ones your mother gave-"Don't
get wet; don't get damp; don't
sit in a draft" In other words,
stay in the house and lock the
doors all winter, neglect what
business you've got left, and
you will not have a cold.
Yet the Personnel Magazine
in addressing its audience,
which had one of the strongest
reasons to adopt preventive
measures-the economic one,
that colds are the greatest
cause of industrial abSenteeism,
concluded: I'VE have no prac-
ticable method Of prevention
and no satisfactory method OF
treatment of colds"
Such satisfactory methods Of
treatment as we have are those
directed towards making the
patient comfortable and which
have been described in former
articles this week.
AS to the dangers of Sec
ondary diseases, pneumonia is
the one most prominently men
toned. The work Of Smillie
and Caldwell, reported last
year, indicated that If patients
with colds exposed themselves
to chilling, particularly on the
fourth or fifth day Of a cold.
they were particularly likely to
develop pneumonia. Pneu-
Enococci. the germs which cause
pneumonia, develop very rapidly
in the throats of patients with
colds.
These observations are given
for what they are worth, but I
strongly doubt their validity.

! In the ante-room to the
Chiefs office sat Daisy. She
looked as though she had just
been outfitted by the smartest
establishments on the avenue.

contour Of her pert face was

whom she owed her liberty, the
man who was trying to send
her lover-his own brother-to
the electric chair. Fitz looked
EDstracted. He waved a hand,
not unfriendly, and mumbled,
"Sit down, Daisy. What do you
want?" Daisy crossed to his
desk and leaned both her hands
on the edge and brought her
face toward his.

sharply and silently waited the

The declaration of the hand

he will be obliged to win the
second lead of clubs. If A
wins the first club trick, he

either case Y will win the
second trick. B and z must
make a second discard. Pre-
suming that B discarded his
lowest diamond on the first
lead, he now has to choose be-
tween letting go another dia-
mond, thus making both of

tanning his two diamonds. Let

For the third lead, Y will lay

comes good and rs lower diamond
can be discarded. If A lets go his
lower diamond, rs King Of Hearts
will be discarded, leaving both Of
his diamonds good.
In case B discards his Queen
Of Hearts at first he is no better
off than he was discarding his
lowest diamond. B must take
three discards upon leads of black
cards. He will hold only two red
cards when Y is ready to lead q
heart or diamond for the fourth
trick, and he will be unable to
win a single trick in either red
suit. -
The answer to the question

BISHOP MCDOWELL
SEESCHURCH UNION
Possibilities Discussed in
First of American Uni.
versity Lectures.

Possibilities Of church reunion were
discussed last night by Bishop william
Fraser Mcdowell, senior bishop of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, who OUT
lined the development of Christianity
from its simple fellowships" to the
complex ecclesiastical organization of
today.
Inaugurating the American Univer-
sity lectures on Human Institutions"
at the Graduate School of the univer-
sity, Bishop Mcdowell declared "the
most vital thing ever let loose in our
world has produced and has grown into
the Christian church as We know it,
into its Catholic and Protestant bodies,
its elaborate creeds its highly organized
ecclesiaSticiSms, its rich liturgies and
stately ceremonials, all utterly unlike
anything in the simple fellowships of
the sandalled leader of his disciples -
Ritual Defended.
There is a reason, ecclesiastical or
otherwise" he said "for every bit of
the elaborate ritual, ceremonial and
vestments in the modern church,
Discussing the problem of church re-
union, the bishop said: Let us not for
get that there has been an element Of
religious zeal and conviction behind
zeal and conviction which seemed vital
to the Christian life of those who put
out a separate branch. We shall not
get very far on the way to reunion
unless We appreciate that fact. Many
of the separations in policy and in
doctrine seem to many to have had no
sufficient basis in sound reason"
Series to Continue.
Bishop Mcdowell spoke before a dis
tinguished group OF members of the
graduate class in the philosophy Of
human institutions, members of the
board of trustees, Chancellor Lucius c.
C of the university. Dean Walter
M. w. Splawn of the Graduate School
and invited guests.

sity lectures on Human Institutions"
