English Woman's Code
Carried to Extremes

For the most part the English
woman regards the use of cosmetics.
the proper care of the hair, the
proper wearing Of clothes, as turning
woman into a professional in the
most deplorable sense Of the word,
says Harper's Magazine. she runs
her house and herself on the as
sumption that she must be an I'M
sullied amateur first, last and all the
time.
In consequence one often feels that.
whereas in France even the plainest
women never give up, in England
even the most potentially beautiful
are like as not never to begin.
Now 1t is quite possible that Amer
lean women are too professional in
their pursuit of the art of being and
looking charming and that this ac-
counts for the 12-in-a-box feeling
one sometimes has on the sidewalks
of Fifth avenue. 1t is certain that q
lady hiker in rough tweed breeches,
silk hose, thick walking shoes and
lipstick has an amphibious air as
she takes the train for an outing up
the Hudson.
1t is also certain that the English
woman know better how to dress for
certain practical purposes such as
getting wet in the rain. But it is
thousand pities that her cult of mis-
guided amateurism prevents her from
taking the little trouble that would
make her natural charms irresistible.

eight Republicans Joined the obedient
Democrats in supporting the measure.

The senate received the bill and re-
ferred it to the banking and currency
committee, which held a hearing that
was lively while 1t lasted. Prof.
George Warren, author Of the dollar
depreciation and gold purchase pro-
gram, explained to the committee the
theory of commodity price regulation
by manipulation of the currency.
Then, taking up consideration of the
measure, the committee heard the Wig
orous objections Of Senators Glass,
Gore and McAdoo to several features
Of the bill, notably the proposed seiz-
ure of the federal reserve bank gold,
and the granting of unlimited financial
power to the secretary of the treasury.
1t was confidently predicted by the
administration leaders that the bill
would be put through the senate un-
changed, but stubborn fights over vari-
GUS proposed amendments were GER

use Of the $2,0OO,OOO,O00 sterilization

The campaign for the nomination
was exceedingly stormy with pros
poets of violence that did not develop
when the day came. Walmsley and

other without reserve, and the mayor
promised to follow the senator to

John Fl. McCOOEY, for almost

expected that leader satisfactory to

would not be inconsistent with our
theory Of government.
Explaining that when governments
acquire private property they normally
pay more than it Is worth, Mr.. East
man reaches the conclusion that the
remedy should not be applied to rail-
roads now because the country is not
financially in a condition to stand
the strain Of an acquisition of these
great properties
The co-ordinator, having set up
what he wishes to be the objective OF
future national railroad policy, then
proceeds to make recommendations
within the limits Of existing laws. He
is decidedly skeptical of the Prince
plan for consolidation Of the roads. for
his assistant, William B. Poland, has
made studies that show the economies
under this scheme would be less than
one-third Of the original estimates.
Most significant Of the recommends
tons on consultations Is that pro-
posals for compulsory consultations
should be given trial, provided that
the commission and the co-ordinatOr
find the proposed mergers to be In the
public interest Mr.. Eastman throws
the weight of his approval behind a
method Of compulsory consolidation
through exchange of securities with
out the use of cash. Execution of such
method, which the co-ordinator's
legal assistant, Leslie Craven, believes
can be accomplished, would accelerate
the merging of eastern railroads into
the four systems previously agreed
upon.
Mr.. Eastman says that reorganiza-
be effected as speedily as practicable,
and in a manner which will result in
very material reduction in fixed
charges" He calls attention to the
fact that some of the most success
full reorganizations In railroad history
took place in the midst Of financial de-
pressions. Wall Street theory has
been that reorganizations should be
postponed as long as possible.
Many of the railroads vital prob
lens can be dealt with adequately by
the carriers themselves, but there Is
as yet insufficient organization and
leadership in the industry for effec-
tive cooperation In such undertake
ings." It is quite possible, Mr.. East
man believes, that study Of these
problems will pave the way to a much
larger use of motor vehicles as an ad-
junct to railroad service, and to re-
vamping and simplification of the
freight-rate structure"
