O. L. Theed, justice of the peace
In Coconut Grove, announces a new
beauty contest In honor of the lie
gions" gathering In Florida. Young
ladies In the contest will be fully
clothed; judged by their faces, not
by their legs, q blessed relief.
If bullfrogs on frog farms In
Louisiana had a beauty contest,
only the legs would count, legs be-
Ing all of the frog that counts. You
don't care about the frogs express
sion or intellect, and only ask for
fat thighs.
Something more Is asked of a
young woman, destined, presum-
ably, to become a mother, and her
brain is the important thing, since,
according to Huxley. 1t puts her
above a savage bushman as far as
the latter is above a blade of grass.
Well-shaped legs and a simpering
face do not make a beautiful wom-

head should count 60, eyes 20,
mouth and figure each 10 per cent.
Speaking from Constitution hall
In Washington, the President told
1000 code delegates, and the whole
nation, about his first years work,
emphasizing his conviction that hui
mainly is more important than
profits. One year has made him

The President read a message Of
congratulation from the head of the
American Bankers association as
surfing him that the banks are In
absolutely sound condition and
heartily approve the Presidents
financial policies, also indicating
that "super-liquidity" no longer
seems so important to banks, and
lending in the old way will DON be-
gin again.

in-Law's day." Husbands, by re-
quest, brought flowers to their
wives mothers. Part of Main street
was roped off, al a parade ground
for mothers-in-law." There were
contests for the latest, ~leanest,
youngest, and oldest, and the one
having the most in-laws, also a
beauty contest"
Amarillo seems to have made the
most of its holiday, which should
remind a certain type Of American
that 1t Is most stupid and unworthy
to ridicule the mother of his own
wife, and the grandmother Of his
children. II they have any good
qualities they probably inherit them
from that grandmother.

ington, seeking female models In
France, found no perfect female ng-
ure, and declared the French wom-
en- improperly proportioned-"Their
legs are too short"
Short French legs did not keep
Suzanne Lenglen from playing ten
mis- better than any long legged An
glo-Saxon female ever played, and
they do not interfere with the fact
that long legged females of England
and America borrow their styles
from French ONE and try to look
like them. Besides, perfect figures

II you worry about an occasional
airplane accident, and ever feel In
cllned to doubt the ultimate, abso-
lutte conquest Of the air and of
weather conditions, stop thinking
about a few fare accidents, and con-
slider what progress flying has made
within a few years.
Soon ships will fly around this
earth In AZ hours. and flying will be
as much a matter Of course with

To prove that she is "coming
back" despite the Versailles treaty,
Germany plans a mass flight Of pow

former German colonies in West AT
rica-perhaps to remind the pres

something dlsagreeable might hap
pen, some time.
