BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON -

TINE most tiresome ding-dong
Il against the NRA is that in
itiative and liberty are taken from
the individual. The critics harp
about this land of opportunity"
the snappiest of all our legends.
They like to saunter in fancy with
Abraham Lincoln and commune
with the ghosts Of Hill and Car
negie and Vanderbilt. Even George
Washington is a pal Of theirs.
So they go on applying the
PHILOSOPHERS of the past to the
problems of the present, and they
will not work. For new social eras
we must have new codes. We are
making them rapidly today.
The United States is still land
of opportunity but its opportu-
mites will be different in form
from those which were presented
to the immigrant and citizen Of
past generation. The frontiers are
gone. The woods and waters, the
minerals and mines, all elong to
somebody.
Less than fifty years ago there
were many sections of the country
where industrious men and women
could get their living from the
earth and depend upon the bounty
Of nature. They could gather nuts
and fruits and berries from the
woods, fish in the streams, and
even pillow the idle soil without
molestation. But try that now
you'll be taking an immediate
hike to the police station.
We may not like to admit it, we
may abandon with reluctance our
legends, but we live today in a
country in which it is not possible
for every earnest, industrious indi-
vidual to succeed. That is, he can
not do so by his efforts alone.
The business structure has become
so complex that the man is swal-
lowed up by the mass. He can
not go against it, and so even the
rugged individual, these days,
always can not carve a living, to
say nothing of fortune, from the
American scene. One or two may
happen to do so, but a hundred
thousand will fail.
If we analyze the facts about
former leaders, industriaists,
f1nanciers and builders, we can see
that chance and the era in which
they lived had a lot to do with

other people, SO it will be hard for
me to face my friends.
ANXIOUS.
Answer don't imagine that
taking him back will make you any
happier. 1t is not the man you
want but the home. Not that I
blame you. I only make the point
that a home is not enough in itself
minus the thing for which it
stands
Your pride is hurt, but you can't
keep up a home to protect your
pride and expect any real satisfac-
ton. I should say that your best
bet is to start a new life in which
you rely on yourself for support.
There is nothing to be gained by
hanging on to man who doesn't
want you. On the other hand, there
is no telling what life has in store
for you when you're free-if you're
courageous.
Dear Jane Jordan - I am 20
years old Five years ago I met
a man of As and married him.
My father and mother think al
most as much of him as they do
Of me. We live by ourselves and
we are very happy He doesn't
fuss at me or I fuss at him. He
makes me a good living and WORKS
every day. He is always want
ing to help me with my house
work. He doesn't drink nor use
any bad language.
Now I have some close relations
that think 1 have done the wrong
thing by marrying him because he
is so much older than I am. Do
you think they should kick if I am
satisfied with him? Do you think
I have Gone wrong by marrying
him, or do you think I should
marry some young man?
PUZZLED.
Answer-There will always be peo-
pie who think there is something
which you should do which you
didn't do, or something you didn't
do which you should do. Why do
you let these jealous mischief
makers upset you? AS long as you

four years ago, and treated her
with all the decency a girl could
expect. But to my surprise she
accepted this treatment with an
even greater degree Of GOODNESS
and began giving me the go-by.
Recently she has told me that
she has had an awakening" and
is dating other fellows. She tells
me that my technique was not so
good. That makes me big-hearted
Andy, sitting on the sidelines
while two other gentlemen not
only beat my time but tread on
green pastures where I never
could venture.
Perhaps I am bitter, but this is
almost too much If Y. had any
sense she would be able to figure
out that I would never expose
her to such risks as do the wolves

bridge tables and theaters. Tell
me, are all women like that? If
so, Sherman had his mind on
love, not war.
BACHELOR AT 25.
Answer-It is unworthy Of you to
project your anger against one girl
on to the whole of her sex. You
have wasted your time in counting
an unresponsive girl What you
need is a new sweetheart.
Many men are aroused to re-
doubled efforts to win by a woman's
no. If the no is merely a coquettish
evasion, they are right to try hard
er. But when young lady remains
consistently aloof over a period of
years, the young man is wise to give
up the courtship.
There is no reason for you to lose
confidence in yourself because you
have failed to win your first choice.
Il doesn't mean at all that you have
no appeal for any other girl

cause they are dangerous to know.
What woman was ever known to
choose a safe, steady lover in pref
ersnce TO the challenge Of a risky
affair? Perhaps you've been too de-
voted for excitement. 1t may be
that your technique lacks the ele-
ment of uncertainty that is so sue
cesSful with most girls.
Dear Jane Jordan-I am lone
some and unhappy. Ny husband
left me last week. I was out
working and when I came home
he was gone. He has been out
Of work. but as soon as he found
a Job he left. He always was
selfish and stingy. He would buy
himself things, but never would
buy me anything.
I worked out and did all my
housework, too. but he didn't ap-
preciate anything. I have a very
nice little home and hate TO break
it up. It almost breaks my heart
when I think about it. Do you
think I should take him back. I
always have hidden his faults to

AIRMEN
LAY BLAME ON
LACK OF FUNDS
That's Story Behind Whole
Affair, Say Men Who
Fly Planes.

By United Press
SAN ANTONIO. Tex, March 10.
Lack Of money with subsequent
cTtailment Of training and ineffi-
cient equipment is the story back Of
the tragic effort of the army to fly
the mail. a consensus Of air corps
veterans indicated today.
The deaths Of ten young officers
on the airmail job were of vital
interest to this city-the army'S
West Point of the air-for most
Of them received their training here.
Veteran officers Of the air corps
are not talking for publication, but
they Will point out facts and per-
nit an observer to draw his own
conclusions.
Points they make include:
l. Regular pilots restricted to four
hours in the air a month and re-
serve pilots to three hours because
Of lack of funds.
?. Single motored planes doing
duty over hazardous unfamiliar
routes where commercial lines use
twin-motOred planes.
3. Officers sent out with the mail
on night flights who received but
ten hours night flying in regular
training
4. Army men flying the mail with
less than 500 hours in the air.
whereas commercial lines require CO.
pilots to have approximately 1000
hours and pilots from 1000 to 5000
hours upward.
5. Men trained in peace time, fair
weather flying assigned to a diff
cult job at a time when weather
conditions were terrible.
One officer, addressing a group Of
air school graduates recently,
summed up the situation when he
said:
You are airplane pilots now; it
will be five years before you are
airmen."

Dear Jane Jordan-I have been
married seven years. We haven't
any children. My husband seems
to have lost his affection for me.
He is in a fog and doesn't seem to
realize that I am about. I am jolly
and like to be in a crowd but he
doesn't want to have me where he
is. I have gained weight recently
and am quite heavy on account of
an accident to my leg. I don't get
around so well and naturally I
gain. Do you think he is ashamed
Of me?
PERPLEXED
Answer don't know. I mag
inc that you are the one who is most
embarrassed about your weight
believe you would feel more at ease
if you would consult a physician and
get a diet which would reduce you
without harm to your health. 1t
may be that your husband has other
complaints against you but 7 do not
know what they are.

Dress
Given Name
of Tag End
Combines Features of
Both Afternoon and
Evening Wear.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
PARIS, March 19.-He says, you
can't escape it. Certain things are
inevitable Who is he. and what's
it all about? It's Helm and it's
about the new spring clothes. He
goes on to say:
The spring of 1894 will see
definite change in afternoon dresses
which will be divided into TWO dis
tinct classes: First the practical
dress or ensemble suitable for town
wear, shopping and informal lunch
cons; second, the dress or ensemble
which must do duty from cocktail
hour to bed time.
This second type Of costume, for
the end of the day-the tag end
dress, although answering a definite
need, has not yet become firmly es-
tablished as distinct type in spite
Of the efforts Of the dressmakerS
modehsts.
THE reason for this is that such
a costume can not be developed
without some experiment. Its OBJ
ject is to supply need in modern
life in which customs and habits
themselves have undergone great
changes, and so the tag end dress
will continue to undergo changes
until a fitting ensemble has been
evolved.
1T is a development which Dor
rows from both the afternoon cos
tune and the evening gown, and is
one worth watching"
A word to the wise" and you
know the rest. Take this little tip
and keep an eye out for the full
Towering of the tag end" dress
that will most surely be a heaven
sent answer to the prayer Of the
limited wardrobe.

Dear Jane Jordan-Why do
girls insist on making fools of
men? And why can't a young
man who tries to be regular, meet
a girl who is on the square? Of
all the lovely creatures 1 have

college, I can not pay one the
honest compliment of being
wholly uneelfish.

young people today is more strident because it is more frank and artic- ulate. They do not, as we did, hide heir iconoclasms, but exhibited them
 to the world and their bewildered parents. And parents, even the most tolerant of them, feel helpless in the face of the hlast. They try to recall the age of their own rebel lion. They try to remember just 5sow and when they. buried their ,reams and yiolentt demands, Just how and. when they sailed into the port of comparative peace. They try to decide. whether. the change came about through cowardice, weariness

HORRORS FOR THE NEXT WAR

Getting ready for "the next war" European scientists are doing exten- sive research work with variety of agencies to bring about mass slaugh ter not only of armies but whole civ ilian popuations, women, children and everybody as told by Wickman Stead, veteran journalist, in an Eng
 fish magazine Chief among these deadly weapons are to be poison gas and epidemic-producing disease germs. These experimenters are working on such problems as how to contaminate the water supply of large cities or scatter deadly bacteria thru the air so as to wipe ont thousands and millions of men, women and children like flies far rom the battle fronts. The poison gases used in the World War, hor- rible as they were, fade away by comparison, with the death vapors now being developed, some to be re- leased in tunnels, subways and other underground hideaways. All are being made ready for the "next war which only the. people themselves can prevent by driving their war making leaders out of power.

pains. And if they are very wise parents they vii not dream of giv- ing this advice, &fos nothing is,justly, more irritating and ridiculous than to be told sttat one is unhappy be- cause one is young--for how in heavens nashe can one help it?
 Thus the s'erv5wise parent will re- main sympathetic, but discreetly silent. Remembering that years bring the gift of surrender, the wis dom of contentment with the bits of the shattered, glittering world that our youth created. Not conscious surrender, which is martyrdom and rather depicable to parade; but an unconcious and growing joy in the simplicitics of life which we in our youth once scorned as trivial or sentimental.

LEATHER OF HUMAN SKIN

At a recent convention of shoe makers in Toronto, Canada, strip of leather made from the skin ot a human being was on exhibition. It was a dark reddish brown and in color as we'll as thickness resem- led a cheap razor strop when new. It was made from the skin of a murderer, John Simpson, hanged many years ago. Several instances are known where books have been bound in leather made from human skin. During the French revolution, leather made from the skins of vic tins was used commercially, princi- pally for brooches. Only the hide of males was utilized for this purpose as the female hide did not prove durable enough.-Capper's Weekly.
