HELLO

Meyers OF Middletown, N. Y. Art set out to catch some bears
once, and ended up by being the hunted one, himself. He
never realized how dangerous he was to the wild life of the
continent until he got & dose of his own medicine. Now he's
beginning to think he's a pretty tough bozo. And I-well-
I know doggone we'll he is.

Art came back alone a year later, leaving STAINS body on a wind

mighty lucky man. Otherwise he'd be lying there on that same
hillside beside his friend and partner, Stan.

along them, where a n1an could spend the night. Star took care of tt:

1t was hardly daylight when Art got up and set off down the east trap

Nothing to do but wait. So
the night had come and
with the night. the two voices,
as Etcham had said there would
be two voices speaking to-
gether, pleading. sneering, argu-
ing, screeching, out Of the tent
where only one man lay in
deadly Stupor.
Two voices speaking out Of
Stones body! They could not
believe it! But they had crept
nearer then they had seen.
The bulgings had broken, one
after another. And out of them
had come - incredible awful
nesS-little heads! Little savage
heads low,browed. bestial g.
gibbering, screeching! Heads
that, at first, Stone had tried
to cut Oft with his razor. But
they, had come again . and
again. Heads, arms, clawing
hands . forming within, burst
ing out of Stones body.
So this was it! This was the
secret horror that was killing
the man they had loved! Some
one had wished it on him
some foul devil! But he should
not conquer! His friends would
save him!
Eagerly they rushed for
ward-knives in hand. But even
as they slashed at the horror,
Stone spoke, Let me be! Let
me die in my own way You
can cut off ten, a hundred, a
thousand heads, but the curse
you cannot take off. The curse
is not put on me; it grew out
of me. Even now 1 go!"
And with that admission, he
wrenched-tWisted to his side

so many excuses if your dreams

willing, there will be beauty
parlors 1000 years hence. Mod
ern men are continually scoffing
at the girl of today for the
atrocities she commits against
nature via the rouge-pot and the
vanity-case; and the ancients
made laws and rules for their
women to stop them from doing
the same things.
But-Shush! 1t is the MEN
and not the women, who have
turned feminine beauty from a
luxury to a necessity. If 1t
weren't for men and their in
Sistence on beauty in woman,
half the beauty specialists
would go out of business in a
week!
If you doubt this, just offer
to introduce a man to a "fas-
cinating but homely" woman,
or to a girl with only charms
of the mind and beauties of the
soul to recommend her! Try to
make them dance with your
sweet, plain, artless little coun-
try cousin, who thinks a lip
stick is an invention of the
devil.
The high cost of beauty is
what keeps half the men in this
country riding in limouSines
and the other half with their
noses to the grindstone.
And all for WHAT? So that
a woman may be charming to
some man who regards beauty
in a WOMAN as a necessity"
character as a luxury, and
brains as an affliction!

triumphantly.
But let them enjoy their
triumph to the full while they
can. For there have been
blonde-crazes before, and red
haired rashes, and even RACES
for white wigs and powdered
hair. And the wheel of fashion
turns rapidly tn e Sc days.
Blondes may be in again be-
fore you can say "Henna rinse!"
In a brilliant and fascinating
new book entitled so You
Think It's New" by Wilfred J.
Funk, we are told that as far
back as the time Of Queen
Elizabeth, there was a plati-
mum blonde rage, during which
all the women of that day
either bleached their locks or
wore yellow wigs. even the
master painters of the day re-
fuse to recognize that only bru.
nettes exist in all the world.
and they portray their Mary
Magdalene and Madonna types
with blonde hair only" Mr..
Funk assures us in an illumi-
mating chapter on They Knew
Their Makeup"
After she has reached 40,
many woman's hair has been
known to turn prematurely red
or gold. Oh, well, no matter
what shade Of hair God gave
a woman, she always yearns to
to change it. To want to i'm
prove on nature by altering
your personal color scheme is
the most human instinct in the
world! If you don't believe it,
you can go way back and ask
the ancient savages who used
to dye their hair a bright ver-
million and paint their faces
until they resembled a modern
beach umbrella.
Or you can consult Mr..
Funk's little book and learn
how the ancient glamour girls
of Thebes, in the autumn Of
5000 B. c., painted their finger
nails and their toe-nails, too,
a deep modern red, until their
boy friends raved with true
masculine indignation and con.
tempt. And how Cleopatra
plucked her eyebrows to a thin
Greta-G -Garbo line and stained
her eyelids a blush tint with
perfumed paste of iron oxide.
Beauty has always been a
racket woman's racket!

1000 years ago; and. the Lord

Stone was dying. Dying a
hideous, mysterious death.
(YouU find the story in Doro.
thy L. SayerS' Omnibus Of
Crime.")
What lay behind that closely
guarded tent in the black heart
of the African jungle? Nobody
knew. DuSky Zanzibar and
Mang-Battu bearers might come
sinking through the night, peer
ing, sniffling-their great nos
trils quivering like curious beasts.
But no one knew. Not even
Etcham, the Englishman, Stones
devoted friend.
Painting, exhausted, Etcham
rested after a five days in
credible trek for help. And the
other Englishmen-their hunt
ing trip interrupted - listened.
Stone dying? But why? What
we're the symptoms? Coma
fever some strange and
frantic urge which forced him
to hide within his tent, forbid
ding anyone to follow. And
carbuncles - only they weren't
carbuncles. But whatever they
were, Stone was dying of them.

birth of Erin's Magma Charta,
for with it comes the severance
of the last remaining ties of
British dominance.
Hereafter, according to articles
and provisions in the new setup,
Great Britain is but an external
part of the green, little isle, ex-
elusive of course Of Ulster, or
Northern Ireland, which one
day President De Valera hopes
to have within his family circle.
Ireland has enjoyed much ex-
pansion under the regime of this
fighting son of Spanish-Irish
parentage, who incidentally
spent many Of his early years
within our borders. He has be-
queathed to Erin new standards
in many phases of its national
life; witnessed the Inauguration
of industrial establishments in
a country that was primarily
given to agricultural pursuits
and made possible valuable trade
ties abroad.
To many it remains a moot
question whether or not this dis
secting of political ties with the
British is a smart move on the
part of De Valera, There are
those who argue that England
has always been Ireland's best
customer, particularly in the dis
position of her huge potato crop.
Placing a high tariff barrier on
all goods bearing the stamp
of the mother country, this &C
ton in time might prove a boom
erang.
But from an internal stand
point the Irish have moved with
rapid strides. Great factories
have arisen in many parts of the
country, particularly I might
cite in the county of Cork where
one of Americas largest auto
mobile manufacturers has estab-
lished his European base from
which flow farm tractors of Dear
born vintage. The River Shan
non has forfeited much Of its
beauty in lieu of hydro-electric
plants and several copper min
ing ventures under the supervi-
sion of American engineers are
operating with success.
With these many progressive
steps taken into consideration
perhaps Ireland may enjoy a
new era under its constitution
and face the future resolutely
determined to work out her plan
of destiny completely without
guidance of the material yoke
which she tore asunder when
this Irish bill of rights was rati-

thereby are committing horrible

President Roosevelt, as the chief
executive, regardless Of "satisr

demand to the Emperor of,
Japan to withdraw at once his
outlaw gangs from China, with
the distinct and express under.

Roosevelt win give orders to the
American navy: To smash the
Japanese blockade Of China and
to convey abundant food and
military supplies to China to
enable the Chinese people to
drive the Japanese outlaws from
the soil of China.
This action should be taken
with the distinct understanding
with all nations that such ac-
tion shall not underwrite the
imperial policy of any nation
with respect to China, leaving
the Chinese people entirely free
to formulate their own policies
with respect to every nation on
the face of the earth.
This would not be at all war
against Japan, and thus would
not require a declaration Of war
by Congress; it would be only
the rightful exercise Of the
police power given to the Presi-
dent of the United States by the
Constitution. Our Self-reSpect

The Pdnay Pictures


Americans visiting the movie
theaters this week should re-
member that restraint Is a
better virtue than wrath.
Everywhere throughout the
country pictures are being shown
of the disastrous bombing of the
United States gunboat Panay by
Japanese airplanes. The pictures
themselves and the dialogue
that accompanies tn EN- are
highly imflammatory.
In some places where the
pictures have already been
shown, individuals in the au-
dience have demonstrated their
feelings concerning this attack
on American property.
1t is proper enough for Amer
leans to be free in their ex-
preston on any subject, but
Americans should also realize
that melting public opinion to
a fever pitch may have dis
astrous results.
Nobody in his right mind
wants war. Therefore those
who look upon peace as a price
less possession should exercise
restraint in a tense situation.
The pictures of the Panay
bombing are horrible. But re-
member that it is better to
honor the memory of two heroic
dead than to send millions into
war. ANTT-JAPANESE.
