Strong Rival

But to answer my correspon.
dents letter directly, one Of the
greatest rivals the modern girl
has to consider is-not the
blonde or brunette siren, but
electricity!
A man can push a button, get
his clothes washed and pressed,
have his morning breakfast sup
piled, 60 to a restaurant and or
der his dinner, and, all said and
done, he would rather have q
car than maintain a wife.
This is not true Of extreme
youth, the natural mating time
of life. when the urge toward
marriage is strongest.
But as a man grows older, es-
pecially if he has had several
disappointments, he adjusts him
self to a life of single blessed
ness or cuSSednesS, as you will.
He is harder to please as he
grows less pleasing.
Another thing that keeps him
single is the present day free
dom among the sexes. When
the ladies in the family album
we're young, the price of paying
attention" to them was a we'd
ding ring-and men paid it.
There is no such obligation in
this, the jazz age.

Beauty
How to Wear
Glasses
By DONNA GRACE

Wearing glasses Is such a
common custom among us that
we believe women should not
hesitate to put them on and
use them when they are con-
scious of eye strain that calls
for this support.
No one really wants to wear
them-to be Sure-but when
they are prescribed by a relia.
BILE eye specialist, it is generally
safe to assume that is the re-
lief we must have and wear
them according to his advice.
Glasses need not depresS any,
one, provided they are selected
carefully. Whenever it is pos
Sible, it is advisable to have sew
eral pairs, but when one must
depend on only one pair, try to
have the ones that are secure
and designed to set in the same
position at all times.
The spectacles are more Sc
cure than the nose or pince-nez
kind, and once we have become
accustomed to them, they will
look just as well as any style.
Every girl or woman who
must wear glasses should try to
forget about them and everyone
else will be less conscious Of the
change.
When one feels the spectacle
type are a little difficult with
smart afternoon and evening
costumes, why not wear them
for business or at home and
have a pince-nez style for
other occasions? Do not wear
q severe, straight-back hair
style or a close brimlesS hat
with glasses. A soft wave or
broken hair line and a hat
that shades the eyes slightly
will detract from the glasses
and they will be inconspicuous.
There a1e some good eye
exercises that will sometimes
strengthen the eye muscles and
sight so that glasses may be
discarded altogether. Why not
try such a corrective treat
ment?
My eye exercises have these
movements that are favored BY
SO many fine eye specialists
and I will mail them to you.
If you wish. They include .
marvellous eye wash, too. There
is no charge, but enclose .

with your request. Address

If a girl has a job and Is able
to keep it for two or three years
until something in the way Of a
nest-egg is put by, marriage is a
safe step to take, but with only
a lean pay envelope to fall back
on, and the girl knowing next to
nothing about thrifty house
keeping, marriage is distinctly q
hazard.
The above is the dark side Of
the picture, because millions and
millions of people do marry, and
somehow or other manage to
get by. And millions and mil
lions will continue to marry, no
matter what the economic con-
dition Of the country happens to
be.

interested in was picking up the
bodies of squirrels which had
died of natural causes.
Or rather, a natural cause,
because these squirrels were
found to be infected with bu-
bonic plague. Not only was
this true of the animals found
dead, but a good amount OF
plague was found in the squir-
rels which were shot.
Third Pandemic
The plague has visited man.
kind many times since that far
day in the reign Of the Emperor
Justinian, when it made its first
grand invasion Of Europe. The
second great pa n d mic Of
plague, known as the BLACK
Death" began at the time Of
the Crusades and did not abate
until the discovery Of a new
trade route from Europe to the
Orient, around the Cape of
Good Hope, eliminated the en-
demic centers of Asia Minor.
The third great pandemic Of
plague began in 1871 and we are
still in it. Although the ac-
tivity Of public health officials
seldom allows it to spread be-
yond seaport towns, there are
few parts of the world where it
has not made its appearance at
seaports. Hamburg, Glasgow and
Marseilles have each had an ex-
perience since the beginning Of
the century.
knowledge Of the fact the
disease is spread by rodents and
their fleas has been the most
important weapon in combating
it's spread.
In the United States the
disease is most frequent in Cali
fornia, due to the infection Of
the ground squirrels. Louisiana,
Texas, Florida, and the State OF
Washington have all had a few
cases, but no other states.
Eternal vigilance in the ex-
termination Of these animals is
the price Of safety. Plague
slumbers in rodent reservoirs,
and breaks out again and again.
In 1914 a public health author.
ity said:
at is believed the statement
can be safely made that all dis
cOverable plague has been erad-
icated from the State of Cali
fOrnia, and that danger Of its
further spread has been re-
moved"
Heavily Infected
In spite of this optimism, 1t
is found that 20 years later the
ground squirrel population is
again heavily infected, and the
work of determination must be
done all over again.
It is a credit to the vigilance
of the public health service that
they are alert to the situation
and are working steadily to
eliminate the source. Such work
is not as dramatic as getting
in the limelight and prevent
ing a war, but it is just as saw
ing of human life.
Let us hope that sentimental
considerations for the ground
squirrel will not make it less
effective.

Front FHLLness

The silhouette continues slim
and straight, with fullness con-
centrated in the front, with
pleatS, shirred or draped Sec
tions. Some dresses are pleated
all the way around, up and
down. Others have pleated
aprons or panels. Come dresses
have their fullness in circular
manner, by means of cores, and
they manage to look extremely
smart.
Two-piece dresses are very
much in the picture, and so are
dresses that seem to be two
piece but aren't. Peplums look
extremely youthful, and Tyro-
lean or basque jackets, which
ever you call them, are pert and
fashionable. TUNES are better
than ever, and often bring
about contrast of fabric or color

Marking the New

Anything that is military is
smart. Anything that has a
deep v in front is likewise
smart, and metal is everywhere
in trimming, in the ma
terialS. Many of the best
clothes are severely simple, de-
pending in good line, fabric
and color for their distinction.
Trimming at its best is subdued
and sparse, and is found mostly
on the military frocks :.
braid and frogs down the front.
AS to colorS they are
everywhere, and contrast will
be found in nearly all cos
tunes. If you have a black
coat, then colored dresses are
fine. The same holds for a
brown coat. Many shades of
red are excellent, and are worn
with black and brown. The
