And through repetition let us
hope that with the shooting wars

Nations no selfish aims.
At peace we

all remember that we have our
kind Of peace today only because
we were able to mobilize our
great resources Of men and ma
terials for war. We should re-
member that we want the kind
of peace which will insure future
generations against the horrors
of war. We can't have that kind
Of peace unless we everlastingly
devote our energies to peaceful
solution of world problems. We
must understand that our people
have a stake in every section of
the world and that any disagree
ment between nations has a
direct effect on our country.
Future generations should be
taught the philosophy that peace
among nations is condition Of

active effort rather than a con-
dition which temporarily blesses
our existence during absence Of

There is every reason why the

progress between management

seems no valid reason why the
conference should become dead

are charged with tremendous
task. Upon their shoulders rests
the immediate future of our
entire economic life. If they
(both sides) are imbued with an
honest intent of arriving at a

Meuo Style: Honesty About Age

than the current vogue of trying to keep their age as secret as women used to keep their ankles.
 It would be becoming to women for it would let them relax. They wouldn't have to struggle against a losing fight to look 10 years younger than they are, if they freely admitted their age. Then they would be free to look 1t: which wouldn't at all mean they would look less attractive.
 Frankness about their age would certainly make for easier living. Matrons could settle down to being mothers and homemakers instead Of wearing themselves cut trying to keep a debutante's social calendar.
 Grandmothers could relax and be grandmothers instead of fighting time for few such fiattering crumbs as, But you don't look OLD enough to have grandchildren"
 Anything would be better for wo- men than the shamed hiding Of their age, once they have passed the 25-year milestone.
 That is the attitude that keeps so many of them running around in circles in a vain attempt to keep anybody from knowing just how old they are.

WATCH THAT POT!

Don't be embarrassed I'm not alluding to your figure, although l sympathize with you, believe l sym- pathize with you, believe 1t or not, if you thought I was, and even offer some advice about 1t, to wit, if 1t IS just plain nutritional obse- ity send a stamped self addressed envelope and ask for the pamphlet How to Lose Weight"-ask for it., that 1t, that is, in writing.
 With that pot out of the way, let us get back to the coffee pot
 All you need to make good coffee is a coffee pot, evidence of your birth, a common school education a little water, handful of freshly ground coffee and 0 fire.
 A watched pot never boils. That's the secret of making good coffee. Stand by to grab 1t off from the fire the instant 1t reaches boiling point. If you let it boil for only few seconds ou drive off into the air considerable part of the aroma and flavor and leave in the pot the bitterness and astringency of a brew of tannic acid.
 Cold water or tepid disSolves the aromatic flavor and holds it in so- lution. For that reason it is well to put the desired amount of fresh- ly ground coffee in the water and let it stand for while, even over night, before brewing. At least it doesn't harm the flavor to let the pot stand for a while when you have it ready to go on the fire. Whether to use any egg is a question of personal preference. If there is bit of egg white handy and eggs are not too scarce like to use dash of it in the pot to improve clarity or to settle" it. But I must confess I can't tell the difference between good coffee made with egg and good coffee made without it. It may be that dash of cold water added after the coffee has been brewed serves this pur- pose as well as egg white.
 When ever I mention coffee at all it seems necessary to say that, in my opinion, CD children under six teen years of age should not drink coffee, CD most adults may take a cup or two of coffee daily, prefer ably at breakfast or midday lunch time, with benefit to their health and liability and without peril to their nerves" or digestion, and (3) regular use of coffee is particularly advisable for mature adults with one or another organic heart di- sease. Needless to say who can't take cotfee-provided you're not a nut you know whether a cup of good coffee gives you palpitation, digestive disturbance, insomnia or other unpleasant effect. Frankly I'm afraid most of the i'll effects ascribed to coffee drinking are not really so caused and seldom are they caused by good coffee.

Hats for Fur Coats
By NEA Service

Oversized hats have disappeared with the coming of winter winds and the fur coat season. Newest models are scaled down considerab- ly, but though they are much small Ter, they have a soaring silhoutte which gives you a regal air.
 shown are three of the most in- teresting styles seen in early win ter hat collections of Nicole de Paris. The hussar-like black felt hat, top, is trimmed with shock ing pink ostrich plumes which add inches to your height. A feather brush" of glossy black feathers gives a sophisticated touch to the youthful black velvet breton, cen- ter, with typical schoolgirl stream CTS. Soft jewel-toned felt is shirred and spiralled so cleverly in the model at the bottom that no trim ming Is needed.

BOOK MERCHANTS ASLEEP ON JOB?

DEAR MARY HAWORTH - Where can I get a copy of Thomas Towards book of essays, '"The Hid- oen Power" which you recommends ed in recent column? I have asked for it at a leading bookshop and also at the public library; but it is unknown to the staff at either place. ID. z.
 DEAR D. g.: Since mentioning this book October 8, am in re- ceipt of several inquiries like yours, from persons who can't find book distributor who ever heard of it. Yet it is published by Dodd, Mead x Co.,, 432 Fourth avenue, New York City; and my copy, which I bought two months ago, is listed: Eighth Printing, January, 1914"
 The bookshop where I came across mine had half a dozen copies on the shelf and some days later I l noticed another store had it in good supply. Also book reviewer tells me when book reaches its eighth printing 1t is staple article in the trade.
 My advice is: Write the publish CTS directly, addressing yourself to the Sales Department, if you can not find copy in the retail mar ket or library. Incidentally, when mentioning book, I always specify the author and publisher, to hand fly guide interested persons to the source of supply. M. H.

Many players would open this hand with two diamonds, but Harry says, "No, not with the weak spade suit" When he doubled one heart and his part ner passed, he knew that South had a fair hand; but when west bid two clubs, Fishbein bid three clubs. East bid five clubs, South doubled and Fishbein then bid six clubs-that should establish some sort of record. Of course his cue bid of six clubs asked his partner to bid six diamonds unless he held four good spades, in which case he would like to have the hand played at six spades. South made the cor rect bid of six diamonds, and Fish bein took spade finesse and made '.

MAN THINKS AS ADAM DID

DEAR V. R.: When called on the carpet for his misbehavior in the Garden of Eden, Adam explained himself by saying, "The woman tempted me-" In view of your giggling reaction to your married supervisors early SkirIniShing, I imagine he might feel justified in saying the same.
 I believe the motivatoin of his at tltude toward you changed horses in midstream: that whereas once he was flushed with the admiring hope of making conquest, he is now taking advantage of his boss position to be rudely, aggressively insulting. Why? Because it seems you led him on, then slapped him down, thus giving him a shock that Hurt his feelings and reused his ill will on second thought-after he had ruefully covered his confusion with flowery phrases.
 Similar situations will not arise n your future experience if you make worker efficiency, slightly for nal good manners and casual re- serve your rules of conduct in re- iation to male supervisors in the business world. And your purpose henceforth should be to prevent them from rising; since once they have arisen, there is no way the woman involved can cope with dig nity.
 Remember the proverb: "Famili- arity breeds contempt" I surmise that your problem here traces back to the initial mistake of using your feminine come-hither full force on your supervisor, on the theory that this was the way to attract his preferential attention and get ahead. I think you sincerely be-

DEAR MARY HAWORTH - What do you think of this One of the supervisors in my office, a married man, asked me several times for a date. At first I thought he was just teasing me and laughed it off.
 Finally told him, NO" defin- itely. Whereupon he said he had expected that answer from me, be- cause I was such nice girl, etc. All well and good. But he con- tinued to poster me anyway, and he once told me pointblank that I should make myself useful as well as decorative around the place.
 Perhaps you can explain male psychology to me, so that I shall know how to cope in future, If a similar situation arises.
