It Is, in the general affairs Of life, truth
alone which has the tonic quality Of
salt spray. It's power is felt by all per.
sons, truthful or untruthful. The former
may shrink. but the latter always f1ee.
from the unadorned truth. Life IL
mostly battle between truth and un-
truth, in large affairs as well as small.
II We could know the real truth the
unodubted truth. in all we do and say
and think and believe. we would have
answered Wordsworth's riddle Of life.
II could know what even q simple
flower is," he said, in effect, II could
know what man and God is"
The fact seems to be, as well as one
may know any fact, that truth is hard
to get at and even the wisest is not sure
he has found 1t even when he has. For
everything deduced there may be an
other deduction, and who Is to judge?
Fortunate Is he who says to himself,
"Why, am the judge, Of course!"
The skeptic in the affairs Of everyday
life Is not SO, but is forever wondering
If he is right or whether some one else
may not be right.
He salts the everyday with doubt, be-
cause he is an honest man and recog-
nizes the seven times seven wells in which
truth hides herself.
The net practical result is that he Is
fair with every one.
He is good humored, because he takes
life seriously, but not too seriously.
He has q ready smile for his own
foibles, first Of all, and then for those
Of others, especially when they involve
controversy.
Whether he is a leader is extremely
doubtful-but, then, how many men are
leaders, after all?
Followers constitute the bulk of hu-
manity. The leader may take himself
oh, so seriously, else he would not be
leader, but the follower may be for
given for taking both himself as follower
and the leader rs leader with grains
Of salt.
Often the twisted smile Of the skeptic
Is one Of life's treasured possessions.
Most of us know at least one person
who becomes, in memory, nothing more
than such smile.
1t usually is grin almost in its impish
quality, based on a sure understanding
Of humanity.
The sure thing, however, about this
beloved smile, which each one of us
knows, Is that it conceals love of all of U.S.
Conceals?
Nay, reveals, as surely as the sun re-
veals the divine eternity.
The skeptic in the everyday plays a
humble but a noble part, because he
takes the things of ordinary life and
transmutes them into something lovely.
He may be rough, pipe smoking male
to the outward eye, but to the under
standing heart he is something else
again.
His trousers may be baggy, his coat
not quite fit, his face may need a shave.
At the bottom Of his heart, however, he
is right in the best sense.
He knows the heartaches of disap-
pointed ambition. the dull pain of mark
ing time while others seem to 60 ahead.
ne is-dare We name him-Mr. Aver
age Man. sometimes called, though
rather foolishly, the Man-in-the Street,
and If he doesn't watch out an auto
mobile will get him, after all!

moved after the armiStice the advance
continued until the price break of 1920.
Although nothing so spectacular is ex-
pected to follow the outbreak of war in
Africa, economists think the general
price tendency will be the same. It is
expected. in other words, that the trend
OF commodity and stock prices from now

Col. Louis McHenry Howe, secretary
to President Roosevelt, is still conva-
lescent in the Naval Hospital at Wash.
ington but apparently definitely on the
road back to old-time vigor. At any
rate, pending return to his living quar-
tiers in the White House, which are still
undergoing renovation, the canny coun-
selor. who has been at Mr.. RooSevelt's S
elbow continuously for IS years, is well
enough to take q hand again in the
game of politics which he plays SO as
tutely and give public expression to his
views in an authorized interview.
Throughout his long and gallant fight
for recovery Col. Howe has kept in touch
with national events and developments,
reading voraciously and occasionally
seeing friends, with the result that he
is up to the minute on what's what and
who's who. Democratic leaders will re-
joice when Howe is in harness again.
Some Of them think that certain admin
istration missteps might have been
avoided during the past six or seven
months If the shrewd and sagacious lit
tie colonel had been at his old post Of
advisory duty.

Is destined, like Warren G. Harding in
1920. to be the senatorial dark horse in
the situation and logical heir to a COM
promise nomination. Some such cal
culations may explain why there has
been no organized Vandenberg move
ment comparable to the activities on
behalf of Gov. Landon Of Kansas and
Col. Knox of Illinois. From q conven-
ton deadlocked among, say. Landon,
Knox, Borah and three or four other
favorite sons, the man from Michigan
might loom as the inevitable choice. just
as Harding did in consequence Of the
Lowen- Wood Johnson contest at Chi
cago Is years ago. Vandenberg is be-
heved to stand well with Hoover, who is
sure to be at least an influence in the
convention. Borah is partial to his
Wolverine colleague, too.

ROrah and Roosevelt.

Senator Borahs letter to Col. Theodore
Roosevelt, jr., urging that the Republican
party seize upon monopoly and make
1t the issue of the coming campaign will
be variously interpreted Indeed, 1t has
already been interpreted as an invitation
to the old Roosevelt following to join
with Senator Borah, even to the extent
of placing Col Roosevelt on the Repub-
lican national ticket along with the
Idaho Senator-Borah and Roosevelt, the
West and the East, and all that. In the
light of the letter written in reply by
Col. Roosevelt to Senator Borah, however,
1t would appear that the colonel, while
agreeing that monopoly is thing to be
attacked is somewhat leery about making
the suggested leap.
Col. Roosevelt does not, it appears, take
the view of the Idaho Senator that the
paramount issue in the coming campaign
is monopoly. Nor does the colonel in
his diplomatic reply to Mr.. Borah 60
the length of the Idaho Senator in de-
nouncing the present leadership of the
party. Mr.. Borah said to the colonel
in his letter: "Are we so fatuous as to
assume that the American people will
return to power party which submits
to the leadership of men who are so
notoriously tied into. or represent, these
interests?" Obviously the interests" are
the monopolies of which Mr.. Borah
complains.
Mr.. Borah's denunciation of the
Franklin Roosevelt Democrats, whom he
charges with amending the laws so as
to permit monopoly, is particularly in
tereSting. There is an impression among
those who have studied the situation and
the implications of some of the New Deal
laws that the underlying effort of the
New Dealers is to bring business together
in great aggregations and that once that
has been accomplished it will be the
easier for Government to take over the
control. The theory is that once such
combinations of business have been
formed, the demand that Government
take control will follow. Preferably
Government monopolies in the interest
of the people" than that such combina-
tions be permitted to exist in private
hands and ownership. There is reason
to believe that Mr. Borah has this very
thing in mind, so far as the New Dealers
are concerned. To Mr.. Borah's mind,
Government monopolies are no more to
be desired than private monopolies. In
that he is entirely correct.
The Idaho Senator, looking into the
future, believes that the concentration
of business, placing the handling of the
necessities of life in few hands, whether
privately or publicly controlled, will be
ruinous to the American people and to
all the ideals for which they stand. Mr..
Borah has been notoriously friend of
the little man" His present attack on
the New Dealers in defense of the little
man" may have the effect of persuading
the little man" that the New Deal, after
all, is not his friend, as the Roosevelt
Democrats are so anxious to have the
"little man" believe.

Effort to drag Solomon and the Queen
of Sheba into the Ethiopian situation
is manifestly unfair. Neither is here to
exercise the privilege of self-defense. AS

GiDes Hints For
Choosing COIors

A great artist once said, when
the Creator fashioned the humming
bird and the butterfly He gave them
brilliant colors, but when He Great
ed the elephant He made it taupe."
The same rule may be used by
women in selecting colors for their
clothes, said Miss Julia McIver, as
sistant extension clothing specialist
at State College.
Stout women should select dark,
quiet colors to minimize the size of
their figures.
For the unusually slim woman
there must be no dull, drab colors,
no black or dark brown. Black has
slenderizing effect. The slim
woman may choose the lighter
tones, pastel tints, warm though not
brilliant hues.
White and the warm colors, red,
orange, and intermediates, give the
effect of nearness and largeness.
Shadowy textures seem farther
away or smaller.
The colors worn must be consid-
cred in relation to the individuals
coloring. People differ so widely in
coloring, Miss McIver said, that
they cannot be classified simply as
blondes and brunettes.
For this reason it is impossible to
recommend certain colorS for
blondes and others for brunettes
and consider the color problem
solved.
The safest way is for each person
to try various colors next to the
face, choosing colors which empha-
size the best features without call
ing attention to babe ones.
If the eyes are the best feature,
while the hair and skin are not so
good, do not emphasize the eyes at
the expense of the hair and skin.
. The skin is the first consideration,
she said.
