The correspondence put the ques

Yussuf Kemal Bey. his minister for
foreign affairs, and to other leaders:
"Are you not unspo1 tsmanlike to or-
ganize yourselves for the purpose of
beating a just peace after you wert

The answer came: "No. We have
given up Syria and Mesopotamia. We
have left these former Ottoman coun

TELL IT TO HARDING
The suggestion was made by this newspaper several
weeks- ago that the women of America are entitled to be rep-
resented by at least one delegate at the Washington disarma-
ment conference.
That the women approve of the idea and are not going to
be left out, if they can help it, is evidenced by (he activi y of
their great organizations in all parts of the country.
Ten million women comprise 1he membership of the or-
ganizations that have formally acted in favor of the prop-
osition.
It is pretty hard to figure out how President Harding
can resist this pressure even if he wants to. And there is
no good reason why he should want to.
But just to be sure women are given their due, you might
write a line to the White Hou -.o today, saying something like
this:
"Mr. President, I strongly urge you4 to name a woman on
the disarmament delegation." —Times-Democrat.

ARMY life
Summer Fashions in Veils
□
When congress, several months ago, ordered the army
reduced from 225,000 to 150,000 men, Secretary of War Weeks
protested that it meant breaking faith and contracts with thous-
ands of enlisted men.
His idea was that soldiering was so popular that the
men would want to stay in the service and serve out their
enlistment.
The secretary's fears have proven to be unfounded. There
are now enough requests for discharge from the army on
file with' the war department, to bring the total down to
150,000 within the time set by congress.
Considering the unemployment situation there seems to
be but one answer—army life does not appeal to the average
American young man, even when the alternative is being
out of a job.

VV colors and color combinations
among the new veiling displays, the
natter of selecting the most becoming
pattern and color grows more compli-
cated. But these additional colors are
very promising, for they do wonders
In improving the complexion. It re-
mains for the blonde or brunette and
the brune-blonde, of whatever type, to
experiment with the new colors and
find out just how much they will do to
clear up or brighten or set off her
skin and just how well they will har-
monize with eyes and hair.
It is the short face veil that has
made this excursion into the realm
of color, thereby increasing its ability
to be flattering. They are woven with
black or white or colored mesh, and
many of them have all-over dots in a
contrasting color. Among rhe col-
ored mesh veils there are the henna
shades, brown, light and deeper blues,
orchid, green, tan. beige, gray, navy
and black. Against these colored
meshes, and white ones, small colored
dots are placed, scattered more or less
thickly or arranged in bonier designs.
It is said that the henna, tangerine
and certain clear, strong blues, dn
wonders In enhancing the whiteness of
the skin.
In the floating veils, with all-over or
border embroidery, like those shown
above, the popular preference is for
quiet colors. Black, beige, gray, navy
and brown account for most of them,
with black and beige the best liked;
but for late summer navy blue Is apt
to he the favorite. There is never a
summer when black and white or navy
and white fail to have a following in
the world of millinery; they are cool,
brilliant combinations that follow
colorful spring headwear as surely as
night follows day, atvl navy veils with
white or tan or beige colored hats
one may choose with assurance for
midsummer wear.

"Your Silent Partner'
."It's fine to talk to you this
way. It's like having a third part-
ner."
It is peculiarly gratifying to
have our customers feel this way
for it exemplifies our conception
of the position a bank should hold
in the business life of a concern.
A proposition usually looks
rosy to the man whose brain has
fathered. It is right that this is
true. Yet it sometimes leads to a
distortion of values in problems of
business administration and fi-
nance.
To the man in business a calm
disinterested viewpoint, backed
by years of experience in banking
as well as commercial experience,
is of priceless value.
We are glad to know we have
been of assistance in the past and
k>ok forward to the pleasure of
serving our customers and
friends in a like manner in the
years to come.
