to an official statement.
The man who wan begging foi

to the "welcher" class and should be

Unless a man actually haB no

In the French chamber of depu-
ties Prince Murat sprang at the
throat of the Socialist deputy, Ruhl.
Times have chauged since the day
when a French aristocrat, annoyed
by the sarcastic wit of Voltaire, or-
dered hia lackeys to seize and beat j
Voltaire anil then had him commit-
ted to the bastile. Now aristocrath
must do their own fighting.
Mr. Gillett. speaker of the house,
tella the world that modern labor
unions are public enemies "stifling
production, when the crying need of
the whole world is production."
Some unions have been foolish,
notably In New York, where they
combined with dishonest lawyer-
and dishonest, contractors to put
prices beyond reach. Home union
workers have hurt themselves ami
the public by cutting down produc-
tion criminally. A man who docn not
do an honest day's work Is not an
honest man. No union rule can
change that fact.
But the real "stifling of produc-
tion," of which Speaker Gillett com
plains, has been done by the prof-
iteers, those that have put up, the
price of all materials. InclutHnx
money, each trying to steal 80 Ants
out of every dollar. If the country
had no trouble more serious than its
labor unions it would be fortunate.
It turns out that Mrs. Tartarcio,
of Elwood City, Pa., is accused of
being a witch because she interfered
with the business of Mr. Capano, her
neighbor, who mado a living selling
a lucky talisman to keep off the evil
eye, etc. When she spoiled his busi-
ness by telling the plain truth about
it, the man selling th© talismans ac-
cused her of witchcraft and the
neighbors wanted to have her
burned.
Tbla being 1920, she won't bo

burnt, in the past, most legally and
aolemnly, for doing the very thing
that Mrs. Tartarcio has done, namely,
tolling the truth about somebody's
profitable fetish.
There Is much power in under-
standing mass psychology. The Ku
Klux paraded In South Jackson-
ville. Fla., announcing that they
were "solemn, determined men and
must not be followed." There were
only 200 or them, marching In white

in the business district were sud-

Lopgi, porous underclothes are
rapidly coming Into use. But effec-
tive ventilation requires that our
outer clothes be loose and porous -
porous gowns, shirts, vests, vest-lln-
Ings, and coat linings. Many linings
and fabrics used in outer clothing
are woven so tightly that they are
impervious to air.
Only the minimum amount of
clothing that will secure warmtli

most especially In cold weather but
as wool does not give off moisture
quickly enough. It Ih not suitable for

woolens should be used as outer gar-

hints a* to the cure. Some of these
suggestions I will emphasize.
Make sure that your teeth are
sound. This is important for two
tea sons. In the first place, you need
to have good teeth in order to chew
your food properly. In the second
place, decayed or abscessed teeth
may be a factor in causing acne.
If you are In earnest about the
cure you will give up candy and
greasy pastries. Hot bread, pan-
cakes, doughnuts, sausages, fat
meats and excessive quantities of
coffee you should avoid.
You should eat green vegetables,
cooked or In salad, more than has
been your custom. Fruit should be
taken regularly.
klort important than all the rest
is the advice to use water freely as
a drink.

Yet in the average workaday
American family Sunday Is often the
only day when all meet together
around the family board to ex-
change the gossip of each one's
small world. Then, must the mother
work all day to provide the Sunday
dlnnor? Must she be busy In the
kitchen cooking or cleaning up.
while everybody else in the family
sits restfully about and reads the
Sunday newspaper, or plays a quiet
game, or takes a nap?
1 be answer depends largely upon
the woman herself. She must elim-
inate elaboration. She must care-
fully plan. She must manage to
carry out her plan.
The observing woman will soon
be able to gauge the appetites of
each member of the family and will
come pretty near to putting the re-
quired amount of food on the plate.
A salad or a dessert and a drink
will complete this dinuer with a
minimum of dhhes to be washed,
and mother will be able to enjoy tho
meal with the family.
"Why. my family would not eat
meat that had been cooked the day
beforo and then just reheated," said
an Indignant woman to me when I
suggested that she more than half
roast the beef on Saturday and fin
ance of all spring fabrics—and the
designs upon most of these silks ex-
ploit some well known story or book
character. Although museums are
still flooded by designers who nab
ideas from old period costumes, pot-
tery, or jewels, the public library is
now beginning to feel the influx of
designers in quest of good pictorial
material as found in stories, and also
In search of names for thoir various
bookish patterns.
Thus, one house is putting out a
spring line of printed georgettes and
radium silks. The designs are sim-
ple, small, and conventional. Most of
the prints are two or three color
checks lnterwined with a floral
motif, or a tiny geometrical series of
actagons and diamonds may form the
pattern.
tian series, and tho same house's
contrasting line of huge and ornate
prints is called the Gulliver.
Designers are emphasizing the
Russian motif and coloring. It is
laughingly prophesied that the great
flood of Slovak literature will ebb a
bit now that the clothiers are swoop-
ing up this same atmosphere. In-
stead of cultural clubs, reading and
raving of Tolstoi and Turgenleff, we
will have the same clubs wearing
this "atmosphere."
The Samovar, Vodka, Sledge and
Peasant are the names of four very
colorful Russian silks. The designs
do not resemble the names, but col-
oring and line is influenced by Rus-
sian costume and church einbroid
popples, pansies, and smaller flowers
such as violets and gardenias. Al-
though many of these patterns them-
selves are large, coloring is quite
harmonious and subdued.
American literature is represented
by a design called "The Forest
Primeval." It is a mass of towering
hemlocks and spruces clustered
about a little village Arcadia. The
blue-greens and soft browns are
upon a background of gray.
Altogether manufacturers seem
agreed that spring fabrics shall be
of the softer silks In printed designs
of color and vividness. Gray, j.and,
blue and green are the outstanding
colors Just now.

THE TWO CAPTAINS
One captain went clear through the war
And never struck a blow;
He came home with a perfect score—
A perfect letter O.
Citations never mentioned him.
For. neither good nor bad.
He caine home safe in life and limb-
But that was all he had.
'Twas Capt. Go-and-Do, the man
Who served his flag in France;
And well and wisely he could plan
Just how men should advance.
As brave as any soldier true.
No fight he ever won—
He didn't know that Go-and-Do
Gets very little done.
Another captain came back home
With honors that they gave,
Came proudly sailing o'er the foam,
The idol of the brave.
(No braver man than Go-and-Do)
They hailed him Marne to Metz—
The other captain of the two
Was Capt. Come-on-Lets.
The war Is over, industry
The soldier now demands;
And yet the fate of nations we
Still carry in our hands.
O captains of the battles new.
When business duty frets
Are you a Capt. Go-and-Do
