,Gullibility No Monopoly e of Women f By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON We are used to hearing sad tales febout the poor, simple-minded female who is robbed of her money. Trust companies are organized and do a flourishing business for the protection of lone widows who haven’t got the sense to resist the blandishments of the slick salesman. ! fortunes go glimmering, so they tell ! is, because gullible wives are so i psily persuaded to put their wealth ! nto oil and sundry other fake I itocks. We have wept over the pitiful refcltal. The ever-trusting woman Stands before us, symbol of imbecility, who must be protected from the shyster. Widowers Fall, Too But now comes a banker who upsets all those sentimental visions. This man insists that there are just as many men fleeced of their money as there are women. He asserts that widows are no more easily duped than widowers. He insists that the thing is about a 50-50 proposition, and when it comes to sense the men are just as lacking in that fts their wives. Reading our papers, looking over the records and observing our neighbors, we may prove to ourselves that his statement is correct. Men by the hundreds have put their hardearned money into fake schemes from which they have emerged wiser, but much poorer men. Oil salesmen with wildcat deals do not always hunt up the women. Shysters do not monopolize on widows. All fools do not belong to the female sex. Feminine Caution Taken as a whole, ■women have fairly good business sense. They are, in the main, much more cautious than men. Have ycu not seen time and again a wife, whose husband had for years been running a losing business, put new life into it after his death and make a big success of it? Multitudes of women are bom with excellent business heads on their shoulders. Some mothers who have spent all their lives tending children and washing dishes could have stepped into their husbands’ shoes and made more money. There are about an equal number of dependent men and women in the country. This can argue only one thing: That the women are actually more capable, because on the whole their opportunities for making money for their old age have not been so great. Discolored Glass Toilet bottles or crystal vases that are discolored can be cleaned by shaking with hot water into which some fresh tea leaves are thrown. Colored Umbrellas Colored umbrellas can be kept clear colored if one scrubs the dirty streaks off with a soft brush dipped into sweetened hot black tea. A shoulder scarf in delicate gold lace takes the form of a cape and ties with chiffon ends floating gracefully.

Money for Battleships and Babies BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON A certain representative in Congress has a plan up his sleeve to get Congress to divert the funds appropriated for the Children’s Bureau to the building of battleships. Now we need battleships to keep the babies safe, no doubt, from invading foes, but we might suggest to the representative and his followers that we need the babies first and after they are here, there are more numerous, more deadly and more imminent foes to menace their safety than all the enemy cruisers in the world. For Future Citizens Aside from the fact that the appropriation for the welfare of mothers and children "would scarcely build a smokestack on a ship,” as one writer puts it, it is inconceivable that a Government like ours with its enormous national wealth could not spare a few hundred thousand dollars a year for the betterment of its future citizens. We must riot forget that our statesmen and other good citizens of fifty years hence are being bom now. And not all of them are cradled in the homes of the well-to-do. Some of them are fighting disease and starvation in the tenement districts. Who is to help them if not municipalities, states, and the Federal Government? Looking at it from the other side: in these same poverty-stricken districts our future criminals are making their daily appearance as innocent babies. Today our criminals cost the Government twelve billion dollars a year. Fifty years from now they will cost that and more. But if some of that money could be diverted to those babies now, through Government bureaus, for better living and housing conditions, that would give them a chance to grow up into honest citizens, in fifty years we would be saved part if not all of that twelve billion dollars annually. A politician looks to the present. A statesman looks to the future, and the community. Aside from the heartlessness of such a proposal, the idea of reducing the appropriation for the children’s bureau is shortsighted and stupid.

BEAUTY HOW and WHY • mm ENHANCING BEAUTY OF COMPLEXION

BY ANN ALYSIS If you are a blonde, your care must be to keep your complexion fair as a lily and the texture of your skin smooth und delicate. I have advised you to bathe the face gently. Not only do this, but before going out, use a delicate cream on your face, removing it gently after it has been on a short time. Now, if you value the delicacy of your complexion, which is a blonde’s chief beauty asset, do not allow it to tan or freckle, no matter what fashion says. Tanning toughens and thickens the skin, and a summer’s tan affects the skin for years. Freckles once obtained are difficult to erase. However, if you are an out-of-doors girl and do not care for the future, you will at least have the golden tan you covet and it will make up in healthy appearance what you lack in fairness. Brunets should use the same care as blondes, but need not fear tanning so much. Blonde and brunet

Later press out the blackheads, closing the pores with extract of witch hazel or a benzoin lotion. Benzoin, you know, has been known as a beauty help. since the days of Cleopatra. Pork Sauce Apple sauce for serving with pork should not be too sweet. It gets a tangy flavor if you add a spoon or two of horseradish to a quart. Clean Vegetables Before cooking brussels sprouts, broccoli and similar vegetables, soak them two hours in cold water with two tablespoons of vinegar to remove all bugs.
