House and, in similar vein, to Premier Lloyd W George a mortth ago, Premier Clemenceau said: “It seems to me that the first mecting of the society (the League of Nations) in Washington ander the Presidency of Mr. Wilson should be urgently called at the ba earliest possible moment. Owing to the hopes this society t has caused to be born, and to facilitate the solution of inter mational problems facing all nationa, I would suggest the meet- é ing be held the first week of the coming November and would ‘ Propose the invitation of the greatest possible number of statesmen whose names were associated with the creation of the Society of Nation. * ©* “No man is better qualified than President Wilson to remind the peoples at the opening of the first assembly that the Society of Nations will have prestige and influence in times of peace only if it succeeds in maintaining and develop ing the feeling of international solidarity from which it was born during the war at the call of Mr. Wilson. I myself shall £ de happy to second him in this task.” “The hopes this society has caused to be born.” “The feeling of international solidarity from which it was born during the war.” How Senator Lodge and his followers must dread reminders of ‘ach hopes and such a feeling. For the past nine months they have been doing their utmost “i Yo prove that, so far as the United States is concerned, the greatest war in the history of civilization taught no lessons, justified no hopes, ‘brought peoples no nearer together. It was all very well to talk about “international solidarity” and “safeguarding the peace of the world” while the fighting lasted. | ~ » But when hostilities ceased, extremists of the Republican oppo- sition in the United States pooh-poohed these notions and endeavored ‘Yo drag the Nation back into a corner of isolated selfishness wherein at would find no larger interests than the issues Republican leaders _ might manage to lug out for a coming Presidential campaign.

How do I look, am I pale?” And Mrs. Clara Mudridge-Smith opened the ornate gold and gem en- crusted mesh bag, that inside was a cross between a medicine chest and surgeon's kit. Having this for- midable apparatus open for business on her knee, Mrs. Mudridge-Smith rattled through the little gilt cases strapped to the inside and, locating the powder puff and powder, pro- ceeded industriously first to whiten her face and then to make herself Diush like a rose. “Why, no, you look all right,” Mrs. Jarr reassured her, “In fact, you are brown as a berry.” Mrs, Jarr’s idea of a brown berry must be of that fruit first when whitewashed and reddened on the sides. Mrs, Mudridge-Smith took an- other thorough observation of her- self in the little rectangular mirror on the inside of the flat lid of the little square toilet case and then gave @ little squeal of dismay. she cried, “You are only saying that out of your dear, sweet, frank and truthful nature to keep me Positively, I haven't a bit Ghe might not have had a bit of color on her face after the kalsomine was applied, but she had put on plenty of color, principally red, fol- lowed up, around the eyes, by blue and black, ‘Then, keeping up a murmuring whimper to indicate she MUST repur the ravages of the agitation of sensitive emotions upon her fai young features, she proceeded to lay on enother coating of color to bring the roseate hues of beauty perma- | nently back to her comely Hneaments.

Just a minute!” the dashing young matron continued. “Give me a chance to re- cover myself.” “You are recovering yourself—so far as your face is concerned, any- way, with cosmetics!" snapped Mrs, Jarr, “And, Clara Mudridge-Smith, you have been touching up your hair ageini” “Now, there you go, scolding me again!” moaned the younger matron, “What can I do?

West Coprrtent, 1 GREAT deal of attention is being given to-day to the so- called mental defective chil- years. This condition may show it- self quite early in life by backward- ness in speech. Later on, as the child attends school, it is unable to keep up with its companions and lags be- hind; reports are sent to the parents that the child is inattentive, that it shows no interest in its studies, that it answers at random. This lack of mental alertness is in a vast majority of instances caused by deafness. It is a fact generally well known among physicians that 90 per cent. of ear diseases in children is caused by adenoids, and that this is gener- ally the starting point in the majority of cases of deafness in adults. ‘This seems a sweeping statement to make, when so many cases of middle ear diseases are traced to an attack of scarlet fever or one of the other highly infectious diseases. ‘A dentist called the attention of the medical profession to the large number of irregular teeth that were found in mouth breathing children. ‘This irregularity of the teeth is due to imperfect formation of the upper jawbone; it is very much narrower and higher in children who are un- able to use their nasal passage, Slow progress in learning to speak is traceable to the same cause, & , by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York Evening World.) dren; that is, children whose intelli- gence does not keep pace with their plugging up of the ear passages with enlarged glands plus the interference of this mass in the throat with the proper exercise of the voice. These children, then, of course, appear stu- pid, and they are stupid because it is Obviously impossible for the mind to develop under these handicaps, and with @ brain that is receiving very poorly oxygenated blood to nourish it from within and that is unable to receive the proper sense impressions from without. Frequently a child who gave prom- ise early in its life of developing a keen intelligence will, after an fll- ness of one of the infectious fevers, come to a standstill, Here again, if proper examination is made, it will frequently be found that the illness was the starting point of an inflamed condition of the glands in the nose delaying the child's physical recov- ery and interfering to this marked extent with its mental development, Authorities believe, indeed, are convinced by statistics beyond a doubt, that artificially fed children are more liable to develop defective alr passages because of an over- growth of glandular tissue (ade- noids) than are children who have the advantage of breast feedings. It has also been shown that those chil- dren who succumb to the infectious diseases of childhood almost invari- ably were previously troubled with throat and nose affections. How It Started “No Man’s Land.” © MAN'S LAND will never be N forgotten. The memory of the brave lads whose last hope, whose last sigh was confided to its breast, whose shed blood hallowed its ground will never fade. This term, long fraught with potent meaning for the ones at home, did not, as is com- monly supposed, originate with the Great War. ‘The No Man's Land ts no inore. Yet off the coast of Massachusetts is an uninhabited island that has for years been called “No Man's Land.” And in South Australia there ts a ter- ritory of 80,000 square miles whose in- definite ownership has long £0 earned for it this appellation. The most interesting No Man's Land was @ short time ago within our very midst. This was a strip of land on the boundary between Penn- sylvania and Delaware. Officially xt was declared to belong to Penn- sylvania, but some of the inhabitants claimed that,it was not part of either State and they neither voted nor paid any taxes. But for:the small part taken from Indian Territory, Oklahoma used to be known as “No Man's Land.” It was ceded to the country by Texas because, being north of the Mason and Dixon Line, it could not be ad- mitted to the Union as part cf a slave State, As it was said to be be- yond the jurisdiction of the United Btates courts, it soon became a haven for criminals and outlaws, After the Civil War it was made a State and under the big stick of Uncle Sam was 1id of its undersirable inhabitants, Such is the romance of “No Man's Land.” The Engagement Ring B did not. always get rings. W Formerly a handsome brace- let was considered just as de rigueur as the ring fer the token of betrothal, But now the ring, the solitaire, in fact, reigns alone, His- tory is constantly repeating Itself and this return of the ring simply indicates that another revolution of the wheel has been completed. ‘The first engagement token was the Gimmal ring. This name was taken from the Latin gemmellus, which means joined, because the ring was made of two separate bands, each with ttle teeth cut along their in- ner edge by which they were notched By Hermine Neustadt] together, The custom was to divide them at a betrothal and put them together again when the bride and groom walked together to the altar, And though the use of platinum and the solitaire are comparatively new, old as the hills is the distincts ive ring that is so completely sat~ isfying and the acme of romance to the girl who wears it. For, as any girl in this blissful state will tell you, it is quite enough to be “en~ gaged.” FAMOUS WOMEN Vittoria Colonna.
