ering flowers on silk, or baking bread sticks, then women must rise up and protect men from them selves.
 Peace-Or Havoc
 This can be done only by such a strenuous promotion of a peace campaign that war will come to be considered an atrocity by all youth, all women, all men who have not succumbed to militariSm as yet. Plainly the military atmosphere must be cleared before practices such as the slaughter at Almeria can be banished from earth and sea. It is the desire for revenge, the yielding to the pugnacious that is part of every heritage, that prompts brutalitieS and war. There can be no advance in the mere dealing with each incident. The information al mind must be so saturated with the possibility of peace that an un- conscious effect will be made on the peoples of the earth.
 Until such a time comes, no one is safe. You don't know when a ship will come into the harbor or the sky and the peace you cher ished will vanish. When human minds become crazed by fire and thunder and bombs and smoke, anything is possible.
 "It can't happen here," you say.

 Many of the new summer cos- metics are exciting enough to make any girl want to take her beauty routines more seriously. This is fine time to get luxurious bath items which will make summer baths more pleasant for the entire family, new makeup to harmonize with darker complexions and downright practi- cal products that make grooming simpler.
 Bath powder, cologne and bath salts which smell like fresh white carnations comprise a set any wo- man would like to have. The three items, or any one of them, would be an ideal present for a weekend hostess, a June bride or a sweet girl these especially desirable when the weather is hot and sultry.
 Another cologne, in various floral odors, comes in attractive bottles to which are attached little boutcn- nieres. For instance, if you get rose perfume, you also get a tiny corsage of roses to wear on your lapel. In- cidentally, the cologne habit is a fine one to have, especially in the summer time. Use it after your bath night and morning and to freshen up arms and neck during the day time.
 If you are planning to travel, consider a compact little kit of cos- metics that takes up no more space than large bottle of lotion. It in- cludeS four small jars (powder, cleansing cream, night cream and foundation), fastened together, one on top of the other, and finished with little topknot which turns out to be a jar of paste rouge. This would make a fine present for your hostess, too.
 Also new is a makeup set, con- sisting of a large box of powder on top of which is tray holding rouge and lipstick. Any bride or graduate would love it. Put out by well known and reliable company, it is not expensive, and the three items come in all shades to match all complexions.
 NEXT: That sleek look.

TOO MUCH VITAMIN D?
 AW, RATS!

For a period of two years pr. l. A. Manville, of the University of Ore gon Medical school, made daily measurements of the amou.4t of ul- traviolet in sunlight in Portland. He found the daily average of ultra violet irradiation for the first year was 3.36 units, and for the second year 6.2 units. The amount of ultra violet that reaches the earth de- bends on the amount of ram, mist, fog, smoke (from forest fire or from industrial plants), cloud, dust in the air, and not merely on the total hours of sunshine There were only 26 per cent more total hours of sum- shine in Portland the second year of this test.
 Between the hours of 10 a. m. and 1 D. m. the sunshine or even sky shine if there is no bright sun con- tains the most ultraviolet light, and so this is the time of day for the baby to bask in the sun, or for any one else who wishes to get the health-building or curative effect of a sunbath. Of course it is the time of day when sunburn is most likely to occur, too.. Sunburn, even the first degree burn (mere reckoning or slight inflammation or irritation of the skin without bljstering), is uncomfortable and unsightly, and a second degree burn (with blistering) may prove serious or dangerous, but there is always one consolation it doesn't rob you of any benefit you have already derived from mod crate exposure to sunlight.
 In view of the fact that tile noon- time temperature in Oregon is mild during much of the year, and re- calling that exposure of but little of the body to sunlight at intervals of several days has proved sufficient to prevent rickets in young animals, Dr. Manville suggests that proper

 Women Must Remember
 Whether or not the German Deutschland first opened fire on the Loyalist planes that were making preliminary military examinations over harbor held by the rebels, or whether the Loyalists made an unfortunate military gesture toward the German fleet because of alleged aid which the fleet has been Send- ing to the rebels, is important poli- tically, but it does not matter to us at the moment. Whether the government gave a command for the firing which brought death to 25 sailors and injured many more, is beyond our point, also.
 We are concerned deeply, vitally, with the fact that revenge was sought, not in international courts or a battle of war-craft, but by attacking the innocent people of an innocent sea-side town. It was a cruel, barbaric revenge that some one took. Now Germany announces the whole incident is closed.
 Perhaps, for the warriors it is. We hope so. It is best. For women of the world, it is too valuable dis closure of the depths to which war crazed brains can go, to be forgot ten.

streets climb the slopes, and the
houses and their terraces rise
tier on tier above the water.
Auckland is an expanse Of
rolling meadows, fertile hills,
parks and race courses. As seen
from Mt. Eden, it seems like one
big park. Relics Of the nearly
extinct Maoris lend the city ad-

Like many other great bene-
factors, these are modest men.
They do not care to advertise
their generosity to its fullest.
For instance, the telephones
Of many members have been
ringing with calls from person
mel offices in downtown Govern
ment bureaus. Now, when a
Congressman calls a personnel
officer, that's not news. But
when a personnel officer calls a
Congressman, that's a sensation
for one or more constituent
jobseekers, at least. This time
the personnel officers happily
swung into the spirit of the oc-
casion for the first time in their
lives.
It seems they had all become
generously desirous of balancing
their books politically before
the holidays. Applications for
jobs long since forgotten by
Congressman we're revived. The
jobs which had been closed for
weeks, months, even years, sud-
denly opened up.
After all, no Congressman
could be expected to hold out
on such nice people as these.
THIS is not all, Of course, and
l. probably not half. The other
half is harder to define, includ-
ing barters between farm and
labor bloc men and future ap-
pointments. But there was one
other delectable donation, which
is being accredited to Bankhead
alone-the greatest bounty for
all who signed or did not sign,
the mileage.

been given, but the boys were

LEW intended to go home dur

families are here, but that 90
cents a mile allowance was
needed as their $4,000 per year
barely keeps them in cigarettes.
Finally it was arranged for
the mileage allowance to be
voted with a minimum Of discus
sion, and without a record vote,
so no one could ever tell who
voted for it and who did not. It
was carried out perfectly that
way.
49, X
Even so, in violation Of the
season, it must be reported two
or three new members were not
satisfied. They disputed the
mileage count of the distance
between Washington and their
home towns, as made by the
House accounting office. They
went to railroad ticket offices
for affidavits showing they were
further away than the official
count showed, in the hope Of
increasing their allowances a
few cents.
