They should bear in mind that public on, the great arbiter of industrial questions, demands, of ally that the mines be kept in operation, that the coal mined; that production continue. They ask this of the tors, as well as of the mine workers. When the latter d this, and decided to strike instead, public opinior aligned against them. When the operators, refusing t pt the settlement basis, keep the mines closed, the sam ling of opposition is bound to be evinced against them. ‘The Star is not in a position to say that the settlement i ir to local operators. It is not in a position to say whethe: settlement is fair to miners here, or in the East. But it knows that the public demands protection. It know the mines ought to be kept running—and questions aris between operators and mine workers ought to be settled thout suspending operation. > Wf that is imposs: then the logical course is for the nment to take over the mines permanently.

FRANK CRANE (Ooprriant, 1919, oy Frank Crane) Almost all human beings want three things; to get money, to get love and to get esteem, A very important aid to obtaining these three things is Personal Appearance. Hence a few notes re same: p Appearance, hereinafter designated as the P. A. No matter how lop-eared and jimber- jawed, you can become attractive. In fact, the most charming people are not the doll faced. 2. The elements of the P. A. are Car- riage, Walk, Expression, Complexion, Fea- tures, Clothes and Manner. Study each separately. 3. The P. A. can be improved by (1) Intelligence, which means finding out where you are deficient and learning how to im- prove; (2) Will, including confidence you can succeed, and (8) Perseverance, for what } you aim at is the formation of a Habit, and abits are of slow growth. . 4. Carriage. Stand straight—head up, shoulders back, chest out, abdomen in. Don't slouch. Look alert. Look i in the eye. Act as if you had confidence in your- self, whether you feel it or not. Don’t look like an apology. 5. Walk. Don’t shuffle. Avoid man- nerisms. Take short steps and stand straight. Don't walk like a horse, clumpety- clump, but like a cat. 6. Expression. Think agreeable thoughts, and they will shine in your face. Have a colic mind and you will have a colic face. N the iath of December, in 406 B C, the celebrated Spartan| SAN What you want is Charm, and you can have Charm by Expression even if you have no Beauty; while Beauty without ex- pression is—out! Your face, after all, is — but a sort of moving-picture screen; your | thoughts and feelings play wu it; it is Anybody can improve the Personal | feelings that these thoughts and feelings that constitute the charm of your Expression. 7. Complexion. The best Complexion for you is the one Nature gave you. And the one and only way radically to improve that — is—Good Health. Diet, exercise and intel ligent attention to your general health better than all the lotions, creams, powders and salves in the world. 8. Features. No matter how peculiar or — discordant yéur features may be, there is _ one medicine that will make them so attrac- tive that everybody wil] love them. It is Good Humor. Pig eyes, @ ub nose, loose lips, large ears, long neck, low forehead— whatever your deformity, if only good cheer, a genial soul, fun and a kindly heart are behind them; they will become agreeable. 9. Clothes. The ideal clothes are those that are so in harmony with your person, ‘our occupation and your means that no- ly notices them. The gentleman or the - lady is inconspicuous, as far as apparel is concerned. 10, Manner.
