THE THREE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRLS

Here they are Blanche Mcdonald Marion Bergeron and
Flo Mayer.
You assured solemny that these the three
beautiful girls in the universe It's BIG universe Even in
little solar system the other planets that float
around us, Mars Jupiter Venus Saturn Neptune etc. there
may be types Of beauty quite different from this However
doubtless in the mind Of earthly beauty judges these are for
them the real types of beauty throughout the whole
But here is question that we should like to ask profess
sional beauties and beauty show managers
Why must professional beauties always not only smile
VIOLENTLY these three young d. try show
EVERY front tooth and EVERY BACK TOOTH in their
pretty heads Are teeth Of themselves beautiful? Is there
nothing worth while in the expression of SERIOUS face
with the lips closed?
The Cheshire in Alice in Wonderland smiled all the
time and it gradually disappeared nothing left the
SMILE But should the most beautiful girls in the universe
ALWAYS initiate that Cheshire cat?
Will beauty contest manager please arrange Just ONE
contest in which the girls show their serious faces very
faint Mona Lisa trace Of SMILE perhaps necessary but
without this wdeopen face display of teeth that has
meaning and takes away all real expression?
However, although it may sound like heresy and almost
Boshevism congratulate these queens of universe
wearing nice long skirts Heaven many
bathing beauty pictures Isn't it possible to have too many
bare legs bathing beauty contests and the stage?
Why must the LEGS always be dragged in?
You learn from Homers Odyssey you know that nothing
pleases the gods Mt Olympus better than he thighs
Of beeves But ladies in beauty contests beeves

thighs.
Why oldfashioned beauty contest the girls

The Districts Senator
King, Of Utah

The District has been particularly fortunate this summer
in the active interest which has been displayed its affairs
by Senator William H. King of Utah. chairman of the Senate
District Committee
Since the adjournment Of Congress the Senator has re-
manned in the city and has devoted his efforts improving
conditions in the National Capital.
The part played by Senator King in obtaining release of
the Districts gasoline and water funds the authorized
by Congress important and of material benefit to the
city.
Likewise the Senator interested himself in the ALLEGATION of
funds of the Public Works Administration Washington
and thus made it possible to carry out several necessary
projects and provide work for hundreds of citizens
Senator King proposes to take the matter Of regu
laton of the sale of liquor in the District after repeal
advance of the reconvening Of Congress
By holding public hearings early this highly contro
vers subject Senator King will enable the citizens of the
District to voice their views.
He will be able to place before the Senate when it meets
which will ebody the best thought of District
residents how the sale and distribution Of liquor shall be
regulated.
This subject is which is Of Importance every
person in the National Capital and to which much
attention cannot be given.
It is vastly complicated and important than the
matter of regulating the sale of the nnocuous beer authorized
at the last session Of Congress.
Senator King shows wholesome respect the wishes Of
the people Of Washington by enabling them to participate in
the preliminary formulation Of the liquor regulation measure

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

or lanterns of silver, to fail.
"Give with your heart, like
earth, the old giver.

laundering the white pear
branches of spring from its
silent dark"
Strange words, aren't they?
A bit hard to understand, at
first. But presently, if you
will think about them, the
meaning will be simple and
sweet as a bird song.
GIVE NOT WITH YOUR
HANDS," Don't depend on
body love. Don't judge love
by the things it does to your
body. Bodies grow weary
bored-burnt out-run away.
Love isn't worth while if you
test it by the things it does
to your body. Even life isn't
worth while, if you test it that
way.
GIVE NOT WITH YOUR
LIPS" Don't depend on lip
love. Don't judge love by the
wonder Of it's words. Words
grow commonplace; grow cold.
Lips falter, tumble, fall into
nagging, whining ways. Love
isn't worth while if you test
it by the things you say, or
the things that are said to you.
GIVE WITH YOUR
HEART"
Give as the earth gives
turally, abundantly, without
counting the cost, without reck-
oning the harvest-becauSe it
was made to give; because CIV
ing is the greatest adventure in
life, no matter what it costs.
The earth does not reason;
does not demand resons. The
earth does not question or delay,
wondering if giving will be
worth while" The earth &C
cepts whatever comes: bows it
self to the storm; opens its heart
to the plough. And then, out
of the long beating, the cruel
breaking, the darkness and the
waiting-comes the spring! The
white wonder of blossoms, where
yesterday there was only the
lonely, weary soil!
Love with your heart! Never
mind your doubling brain, your
grumbling flesh. Brain and
flesh are feeble, tickle things.
Your heart-that is the gre a t
part of you, the god part.
And your heart was made for
giving as the earth was made
for growing. Never mind what
it costs. Never mind what it
brings. Give with your heart.
For giving is the only worth
while thing in life. Giving Is
life. If you have never given,
never loved, you have never
lived.

find yourself asking that ques-
ton often and oftener, with in
creasing doubt. For by that
time you will have made the
unhappy discovery that love is
a very costly thing; that it de-
mands hardship and sacrifice;
that it opens the way to heart
break and bitter disillusion.
Yes, if you're over 80 you'll
wonder many a time if love is
worth while-if it has been a
good bargain for you, in your
life. And one by one your
doubling brain, your weary
body, will marshall reasons why
it wasn't.
Your brain will tell you how
much further ahead you might
be in life if you'd taken the
trail alone; how much money
you might have saved; how
m h work and worry you
might have been spared.
Your body will remind you
Of all the tired days and
sleepleSs nights; the fun you've
missed; the vacations you
didn't have; the far. lands you
didn't see.
And suddenly you'll find
yourself feeling bitter and
cheated. And the old memories
which once were so sweet
those tender, whispered words;
those lovely, twilight hours
will taunt you, jeer at you.
"See for what trivial things
you sold yourself out!" they'll
sheer. "A little fleeting gla-
mour-and all your life mort
gagged as a consequence"
Yes, no matter who you are
no matter how greatly you
have loved-times like that will
come. Times when you'll be-
lieve that love isn't worth
while; when you'll wish that
it had never come your way.
I know. Often and often,
though I've squandered my
whole life loving, I have felt
that way-and have been
caught in bitterness, as in a
trap. But once came across
a little verse by MacKnight
Black that freed me, and
armed me against the madness
of such Sa0odS. Listen!

Deciding Factors

The two factors which deter
mine the type of ship best suited
to a nations needs are the
geographical position of such a
nation and certain strategic con-
SiderationS growing out of this
geographical position.
In the case of the United
States, geographical position
compels this country to defend
long sea lines extending to areas
where American trade must be
carried or American respon-
Sibilities must be discharged.
For this reason it is a vital
necessity that the ships which
form the backbone of the United
States Navy shall possess what
naval authorities call" power or
survival"
BY this is meant ships must
have the ability to reach, oper.
ate in, and return, even after
the blows inflicted by a naval
engagement from distant areas.
Such ships must also have the
ability ''to give and take punish
ment" with a fair chance
against the preponderant mum.
bers that may be brought into
action by an enemy from his
nearby bases or home port.
AS defined by a distinguished
American naval authority, the
indispensable elements of a
ship possessing power of sur
vivar' are:

Defense Needs

A country geographically
located as is the United States
is compelled to carry on it's
operations for the protection Of
its commerce, territory and
other interests in distant areas
in proximity to possible enemy
bases or home ports. Such
country having practically no
outlying bases will be placed at
a tremendous disadvantage I'M
less it is permitted to build
within treaty limits the type Of
cruiser or other ship having
the power of survival and there
fore best suited to meet the de-
Tense needs of the United
States.
Great Britain, having many
naval bases, does not require
in her ships the same relative
power of survival necessary for
the defense of the United
States.
Instead of going ahead and
building the type of ship best
suited to British needs within
treaty limitations, the effort
of British diplomacy is to i'm
pose new limitations that will
compel the United States to
build only ships of smaller
tonnage and smaller caliber Of
gun, which are we'll suited to
British defense but entirely in
adequate for the defense of the
United States.
eternal vigilance is the price
Of liberty" It is also the price
of an honest naval limitation
that will be fair to the United
States and that will establish
real naval equality between the
United States. Great Britain
and Japan.

they are dumped twice year

Rarely is there an escape

Of France or of Mexico. Can
nibalS are the Sentinels and

And yet, I am told by a
young Mexico official who
made a study of the outcastS
on Las Tres Marias that it
is not the sun, or the poor
food, or the monotony, or the
punishments, or the disease
which finally breaks the
strongest. It's the unendur-
able mental anguish of being
separated from the soil from
which they sprang. It is sick
ness for home that gives I'M

sing are of home and Of their
people. When a passage Of
birds goes winging over the
island toward the sea every
man stops at his task. His
eyes follow the flight with a

flight and follows it-follows

Against the persistent effort
of British diplomacy to prevent
the equating Of the American
Navy with the British navy,
every intelligent American will
maintain and inform an "eter-
nal vigilance"
In spite of the pretenSe that
naval equality between the
United States and the British
empire is wholly acceptable to
the empire, Lloyd George, Great
Britain's wartime prime minis
ter, appears to be the only out
standing British statesman who
sincerely welcomes such equal
ity.
The method of limitation of
naval armament consistently
advocated by American naval
authorities has been what is
called limitation by tonnage in
categories-category referring to
the class of combat ship sub
jected to limitation.
Under this method, each ma
ton reserves to itself the right
to build within the tonnage
limitation applied to each class
of ship the type of ship
whether capital ship, cruiser,
destroyer or submarine
suited to it's own needs, provided
that the maximum size and
maximum caliber of gun pre-
scribed for these ships by exist
ing treaties shall not be ex-
ceeded.
