Caproni has just come to America because he believes that here. if anywhere, is the future of long-distance commercial flying, and it was at the Ritz-Carlton that I found the straight and soldierly air- plane maker with the smile of a good fellow and the keenly brilliant glance ov an eagle. “There is no reason why we should jot have transatlantic air liners with- » than ten years—perhaps with- © years,” be answered my first ion, “The air liner will be dif- nt in appearance and arrang nent from the plane with which we ire now familiar, It will be like a big teamboat with several pairs of wings; it will be able to carry several hundred persons, large quantities of freight and all necessary fuel.

As I explained in the article, any girl who travels may ypeal to the ral ‘Travelers’ Aid Society, the Youngs Women's Christian Association, the Big Sisters or Lig Brothers groups, or such similar societies that have bureaus for this special purpose. Yet another organization whic can be mustered into service in hav- ing the girl met at the station on her arrival, as Well as seeing her sately started, is the Salvation Army. It is ‘estimated that in the last ten years the Salvation Army has helped 3,000,000 girls to travel on American trains safely and without worry or danger from insidious influences, Licut. Col Manguret Bovill, who has charge of this work, explained it to me as follows: “The Salvation Army, teoause of tts well-knit organization throughout the United States—indeed through- out the worki—has been for years looking after millions of girl trav- ellers. “If a gil in Topeka.

So long as the drug store door is still swinging, men will pass out of it loaded, and women will exit loaded—with face powder. There's one thing you can say about a complexion—it’s attachable, like the war tax that goes with it. So long as she has a vanity case, a woman doesn’t have to have hips to carry her red stuff with her. Ten years ago a phoney complexion was scandalous, Now a complexion is an everyday occurrence—and some- times twice a day! ‘The drug store won't sell a man stuff for painting the town red un- less he's got a prescription, but a Men Exit Loaded and Women, Too—With Face Powder. The Jarr Family By Roy L. McCardell Comrie: Now’ a brocea Wor | 66.7 VERYBODY I know of is E making money in Wall Street these days. Why don’t you?” asked Mrs. Jarr. “Everybody isn't making money in Wall Street. They were but they are not now—the market is too erratic,” replied Mr, Jarr. “I say everybody is making money in Wall Street,” repeated “Mrs. Jarr. “Everybody!” “Are Bepler, the butcher, and Muller, the grocer, and Tony, the iceman, and Slavinsky, the glazier, and Fred, the barber, making money out of Wall Street?” Mr. Jarr inquired. “Those are nobodies!" said Mra Jarr. “When I speak of everybody I mean somebody—you can't say that Mr. Stryver and your employer, old Mr. Smith, are not making money out of Wall Street. You told me they were yourself. “They are playing their own in dustrials,” replied Mr. Jarr. “But they are playing them close, and any information they'd slip I'd copper.” “Well, I don’t see why you don’t buy copper, too, if everybody else .” ventured Mrs, Jarr with a sigh. don't believe there are any stocks of the bread and butter kind,” said Mr, Jarr. “But tf you wish me to speculate on foodetufts margins, I will if you will give me the money. “I have just given you a quarter,” Mrs, Jarr retorted quickly. “It's very strange you spend so much money! I don't see what you want money for anyway. I heard Mr. Stryver tell his wife that @ man had started on a shoestring on the curb and had cleaned up a fortune. You have shoestrings, Of course you'd be too proud to start selling shoestrings on the curb, like those peddlers with long whiskers do.” “He meant the curb, the market for unlisted stocks," Mr. Jarr explained “And by ‘shoestring’ he meant not a real shoestrin ut a very limited amount of mon ay a few dollars.” Mrs. Jarr thought of the hard saved rty Bonds and Thrift alarm) But suppose you lost it?” she asked. Phat's always the risk,” replied Mr. Jarr. “If you buy stocks on margin and your margin is wiped out, you lone your money.” “You mean to tell me men are @ foolish as that in speculating in stocks?” asked Mrs, Jarr. “Suppose i bought a new bedroom set of furniture on margin, as you call it. And I wa ¢ in’ instalments". . if the price of bedroom sets went down the dealer would call on | you to pay another Instalment, and If you didn’t he would sell the set of furniture at the low price and the money you had y paid,” ex- Mr. Jarr. “At least, that is about as near as one can compare furniture on the instalment plan.” woman who| Mrs. Jarr laughed lightly. “You en are a lot of softies,” she re- |m and edited the| marked. “I'd like to see any mer- chant try to sell goods on that instal- ment plan to women!” \"“put a lot of women dabble in 2, Cleaver: & White lead stocks,” remarked Mr. Jarr, “and just | that way.” Mrs, Jarr insisted that such women make home ) jane can get all the stuff she wants for painting ber cheeks red without even offering an excuse, So far as personal liberty goes, women have all the best of it. A guy can't get red-eye at the prescription counter without his doctor's say-s0, but his wife can get all the red-cheék she wants without a physician's permit. When it comes to a question of Rom vs, Rouge, the women are certainly rubbing it tn! When Columbus discovered Amer ica there were plenty of redskiné here, But since some other guy dis¢ covered rouge the red skins have gone and multiplied. The Indiam squaws in Columbus’s day would put on their paint and give a whoop, To-day the squaws still put on their paint, but few of ‘em give a whoop who knows it. Before Germany shut down on ex- porting cheek tints the colors were steady and sure to last. In those days before the war the dye was fast, but not so fast as most of the dames that used it. To-day boudoir decorating has taken on a differen® complexion. Painting is no more @ crime for women than it was for Van Dyke and Rembrandt in their cut-price days. Cautious yokels no longer holler that “Lips that touch lip-sticks shall never touch mine!” In the 1920 Ladies’ League everybody does it now! They daub themselves like dreams or like nightmares, but the big idea is to get it on quick. What- ever the world may have thoucht @ few years ago, no woman is as bad as she’s painted to-day, This Will Put You to Sleep in 5 Minutes ITH the landlords running wid with rent increases the aver- age tenant has been unable to sleep at night.
