One of the most cheering things IN
the present situation is industry's
lack of enthusiasm for war profits.
Industry evidently realizes pretty
generally that war profits are de-
lusion and snare.
They may be grand while the go
ing is good but after the war-my
what headache!
Industry and business have voiced
this view repeatedly since war began
in Europe.
There has been very little licking
of chops over prospects of juicy wal
gains. Instead, industrial leaders
and business organizations have beer
slamming at the idea that war means
fat profits and have been to the fore
in urging that the United States keer
out of war.
Barney Baruch, who knows thing
or two about profits and profit-mak
ing, says there'll be no war profits i
America is involved in the European
conflict.
There is one outstanding fact para

"You can put this in your pipe AM
smoke it," he said. eff we get in

to make the profits that they ma,
think they will make.

Answering
Bright Red Dress
In Good Taste
NOWADAYS
By EMILY POST.

Dear Mrs. Post: Is there anything
questionable about the color red in
clothes? I like red and wear a great
deal of it, because it is more becom-
ing to me thsn any other color. The
other evening I went to an organi-
zation dinner in dinner dress that
was red. The dress was conserva-
lively cut, and I think very suitable
as well as becoming. During the
evening, however, I heard some one
refer to me as "the woman in red"
and I didn't think the manner in
which this was said sounded es-
pecially complimentary, which is why
I am writing to you about it.
Answer-Bright colors have come
into fashion everywhere during the
last few years! In the present day,
bright red is worn by even the most
conservative. In other words, eve
ming dresses and summer dresses of
vivid colors are no longer conspicu-
Gus. To see an older woman wearing
bright red dress on the street in
winter, or a bright red dress at a
public gathering where every one
else is in dark street clothes, would
be conspicuous, of course. But un-
less at your organization dinner
everybody else was in street dress,
l see no improperly in the fact
tnat your dress was red. (You your
sell said 1t was conservatively cut!

Dorothy Dix Says
Ending Ones Life Is the Coward's
Way Out of Responsibilities

but this need not be such a crush
ing load if you will use some COM
mon sense and grit in adjusting it.
If your mother and father are old
and helpless, it is, of course, your
duty to support them. But it is no
part Of your duty to support a lot
of brothers and sisters who are just
as able to work as you are.
And at 10 you are so young. So is
the girl you are in love with. You
are too young to marry if you were
as rich as the Rockefellers, so why
make such a tragedy Of having to
wait a year or two, or three or four,
for that matter, until you are in a
position to marry? BY that time
you will know your own minds and
be far more sure Of having q sue
cessful marriage than if you mar
ried now.
So brace up, son. What you need
is weeks rest and a dose of liver
medicine. Take 'em both and you
will never think again about being
willing victim to an automobile
speeder.

Others nave been 1otted down
after conversations with young peo-
pie, or contacts with them at social
affairs. Still others have come from
unremembered sources. But among
them you're sure to find something
which you, yourself, can read-and
heed.
So here goes-briefs from our
notebooks:
A QUESTIONABLE answered by men
reveals that good companionship"
is a girls most attractive quality.
More than two men out Of three
rated this characteristic as desir-
able, while only % per cent listed
beauty as a necessary virture. Think
that over, you would-be glamour
girls!
Too many girls make the mistake
of wearing impressive jewelry with
sports clothes. The casual outfit
calls for casual jewelry-and the
less, the better.
If you want to improve your voice,
and would like to know how it
sounds, try standing in corner with
your hands cupped over your ears.
Then speak into the corner, and
don't be surprised if the result
which is the voice other people hear
sounds shriller than your voice
ordinarily sounds to you.
A friend with candid camera
can perform an invaluable service
If you'll have him take lot of shots
Of you when you aren't aware of it.
One young man, after seeing such
a series of pictures, corrected three
habits which had been annoying his
acquaintances for years. One habit
was constantly curling his hair, an
other was twisting one foot behind
the other ankle, and the third was
sticking out his tongue when con-
centrating. You may have just as
ridiculous habits if you only knew it.
Short, heavy boys shouldn't wear
double breasted suits. A single
breasted coat with long lapels will
add to your apparent height and
decrease your width.
When dancing in summer, or on
hot crowded floor in winter, fell
low can earn the gratitude of his
partners by holding a clean hand
kerchief in his right hand. 1t abb
serbs perspiration and keeps his
hand from soiling dainty summer
frocks or delicate evening gowns.
A good way to keep a letter from
sounding stilted and formal is to
read it aloud when writing it. This

Dear Miss Dix: I am a young

that I am thinking of ending it.
have a small business that makes a
modest living for me, but I have a
family dependent upon me. I can
get along with the job and the fam
lily, but the problem is that I have
a sweetheart whom I love very much
and would like to marry and the
catch is that the job doesn't include
a living for another person. I have
an insurance policy that would net
my family q tidy sum and also an
other one that would take care of
my sweetheart if I were dead. In a
short while they would get over the
hurt of losing me and 60 their way
in the pursuit of individual happi-
ness, with secure future that in no
other way can I provide. Do you
think that I am wise in deciding
that the best solution of my prob
lem for all concerned is to get acci-
dentally killed in the near future?
A PUZZLED YOUTH.
Answer-No. A thousand times
no. Put such a cowardly thought
out of your mind and never let it
enter it again. Suicide is the quit

YSu, who have already had the

another boy who, at the age of 10
had worked up a business of his own
that would support himself and his
dependent family, wouldn't you
think that he should be rejoicing
over his success instead of bewailing
his failure? Wouldn't you think
that any boy of that age who had
shown that much business ability
that much energy and initiative and
push was virtually dead certain to be
one Of our leading merchants in 10
years time and probably destined
to die a millionaire? You know that
is the way you would size up any

Miniature Furniture

Standing outside Of the display
window of a local store, we suddenly
