Mr.. David Dubinsky, amid a num-
Der Of familiar faces. The girls
who modelled the clothes and the
girls who sewed in the labels were
all as pretty as could be.
These labels have a real signif-
icance. They guarantee that labor
conditions are good and tell every
woman in the United States that she
is wearing a dress designed and
manufactured in New York city,
which today claims to be the fashion
center of the world. Mrs. Dorothy
Anderson will be the executive di-
rector Of the New York Dress in

successfully promote the wearing Of
these dresses. Those shown us
ranged in price from $1.95 to $295.

which the girls sewed in the labels,

of real excitement for them. May
it also be day which inaugurates

l received a letter from a woman
with whom went to school in Eng

there. ] quote part of her letter:
1T is splendid to feel that your
great country realizes so fully what
we are up against and there is a
lovely feeling of kinship with all the
peoples who are banded together to
overcome this embodiment of evil.
Indeed this is righteous war and
a crusade to save those who are
oppressed. We are all sacrificing
everything gladly for the sake of
freedom and to save goodness, kind
ness and self-respect. Life here is
curious, such an odd sense and a
realization of the impermanence Of
all material things and possessions.
One sows seeds, one plants and cul-
tivates with a detached feeling, won
dering subconsciously whether one
will be there to reap the crops or
whether their progress will be
FASTENED by a bomb"
I can hardly realize that the little
girl ! remember could have written
this letter, but it is one worth our
considering.

Nv LILLIAN cox ATHEY,


During the World War mules did
their part nobly. According to all
the records we have been able to
get, this animal is patient, powerful,
sturdy and useful as a general, all
round, dependable creature under
adverse conditions.
The expression, "as stubborn as a
mule" may turn out to be a COM
pliment. What reason have we to
doubt that the mule has figured
out the stand he should take and
has courage to stick to his convic-
tlons? Many a man has had TO do
this in the face of opposition on the
part of his fellow man. And won!
The mule is a hybrid without
pride of ancestry or hope of pos
terity." He accepts his part in lifes
struggle and does it exceedingly well.
Mules, as you know, are used all
over the world. In 1919 they were
in such demand that some of the
best ones brought as much as $500.
They stand hot weather more COM
fortably than the horse, and about
80 per cent of the mules of the

ment-little to ask for the service
rendered.
Now that we have eXtolled the
mule, We must in fairness admit
that there are few eccentricities
to accept. This we can easily do,
since his mixed heritage accounts
for his being bit temperamental.
Having a horse for mother and
donkey for his father. we need
not wonder that the mule at times
is a bit confused. He must not be
worried or hurried or cuffed about, !"
but gently, firmly urged to do some
things that to him are out of order.
In judging a mule. general form
and appearance are taken into con-
sideration first. The more closely
the animal resembles the draft horse,
the more valuable he is from the
standpoint of selling. The weight
will vary from 600 to 1900 pounds.
The form will be compact, with a
deep body, broad chest. full flanks.
short back and well-sprung ribs. He
will also have trim, fine ears, clear
cut head and soft hair. From his
paternal side he inherits his dis
position. ears. tail and feet. as well
