voters let U3 fee how each of these three numerically nearly equal groups of states stand a to votes cast in the last presidential election in 1916. when the total for all candidates amounted to 1S.o3S.24S. (See World Almanac, 1017. page S30.) "At the last prudential election in 1316 in the seventeen states "of Connecticut. Illinois, Indiana. Iowa. Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York. North Dakota, Pennsylvania. Vermont. Washington. West Vu-Rinia and Wisconsin, each of which is represented by two republican senators, there were cast 10.S29.719 votes, being fifty-five and seventytwo hundredths per cent (."3.72rr) of the total it ell states"In the fifteen states of California. Colorado. Delaware. Idaho, Maryland, Massachusetts. Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon. Rhode Island, South

which 1s repre

"And in the sixteen states of Alabama. Arizona. Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky. Ixniisiana. Misissippi. Montana, Nevada. North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia, each of which Is represented by two democratic senator?, there were cast 2.954,746 votes, being fifteen and ninety-four hundredths per cent (15.94 rr) of the total in all states. "That is to say, more than one-half of all the votes cast in 1916 (to be exact 7.5.72 r-J- were ca;t in states rep-

resented by two republican senators; more than a quarj ter of all the votes (to be exact 2S.S4'') were cast in states each represented by one republican and one demoi cratic senator, and less than one-sixth of all the votes

MUST HAVE OPEN COVENANTS. Samuel Gompers and the labor delegates attending the great industrial conference at Washington yesterday were eminently correct in insisting that there be no executive sessions of the representatives of labor, capital and the great American public. What transpires at these important conferences concerns directly and intimately the people of the United States and labor is right in insisting that the wageearner be fully apprised of the proceedings of this conference whether its results are important or not. He has a right to the fullest information. I the conference is barren of result he has a right to know where to place responsibility.

THEY'VE HAD THE FLOOR. Tf the people misunderstand the league of nations covenant as- President Wilson suggests, it must be the fault of the administration press agents, who have furnished most of the stuff printed on the subject in the periodical press, the metropolitan newspapers, shown on the movie screens and spoken from the Chautauqua circuits. Not since the downfall of the kaiser has a propaganda machine worked so widely, silently and efficiently. But it hasn't been working on as plastic material as the propaganda that has deluded the people of countries where the higher-ups are expected to do all the thinking for the people. Isn't it ludicrous for a President whose every word on the subject has been carried for months, and whose means of influencing public opinion are vastly greater than those of all other elements in the country combined, to profess to believe that the opposition has had the advantage In the matter of publicity?

I The Passing Show

SOMETIMES WE WONDER. A friendly observer remarked to us that bare fron'.s of the young feminine chests are increasing in area and becoming more and more aggravating to the impertinent men. He remarked that this was really the object of the beautiful vacancies, but he is sure- that not one man in a hundred appreciates the generous provision made in his behalf. It occasions him far more concern than tb moulting beauties are apt to suspect. And still they go on. extending th nudities in the face of the fact that the curiosity of the men becomes so tired that it changes into a real distaste. And that is not because the view i

sadly circumscribed but because respect for the young j

woman is not given all the latitude that the circumstances demand. But to this it is answered that the dis

play is not made on masculine account, but solely to! awaken the envy of the women. How about that?

WHY? !

Some pertinent questions are asked by Jonathan Bourne, a veil known Washington publicity man, who says: "The president asked congress to extend the life of the present food control act and include other commodities; to exclude goods from interstate commerce if lawis not complied with: to impose a penalty for profiteering; to limit the cold storage period; to require price-marks on storage goods, o require producers' price-marks on interstate goods; and to license and regulate corporations engaged in interstate commerce to prevent 'unconscionable profits.' He then attempts to make the regime of high prices a vehicle for hurtling the peace treaty through the senate, declaring 'there can be no peace prices so long as our whole financial and economic system is on a war basis.' When tha peace is signed we are promised relief. Then, why extend the life of the food control act beyond the time when Mr. Wilson proclaims peace? And that is the tenure of life guaranteed it in the organic act. That act was exactly what he asked for. Why waa the food administration permitted to lapse during these crit

ical months? The truth of the matter is. Mr. Wilson has

SHOULD YIELD TO MAJORITY. Ptuyvesant Fish, secretary of the League for the Preservation of American Independence, is of the opinion that President Wilson should keep his promise made nearly ten months ago to accept the judgment of his fellow countrymen to whom he vainly appealed for a democratic congress in a mes?age to the American people last

October. This opinion, says Mr. Fish, is based on thePi"etty nearly all the authority required now at his cornresults of the last congressional election as compared ' mand to carry out his program. He can no more 'pass

with those of the presidential election of 1916, in bothftbe buck' to congress with respect to food conditions than

he could respecting railroad conditions- But the Republican congress may be relied upon to do what it decently can do to pull him out of the muddle in which after seven months inattention to domestic affairs he discovers himself."

of which the President's foreign policy was the issue. According to Mr. Fish's analytical study of the number of votes cast in these elections, the American people do not approve of the President's European policies, par

ticularly his league of nations covenant. Says Mr. Fish: "The World Almanac, 1919, at page 1S9, in a table!

entitled 'The Sixty-Sixth Congress Begins March 4. 1919, and Ends March 4. 1921,' gives a list of the senators from each of the forty-eight states, showing that seventeen of them are represented by two republicans, fifteen by one republican and one democrat, and sixteen by two democrats. That Almanac also shows forty-nine republican and forty-eeven democratic members of the senate. "In view of Mr. Wilson's pre-election appeal to all

IT'S open season for picking the series winner.

1. Clean after each meal with a good Crush and dentifrice. 2. Clean, with dental floss just before retiring. 3. Never follow very hot food or drinks with very cold ones as thia cracks the enamel. 4. Use antiseptic mouthw&fh either plain or diluted, at least once a day. 6. Don't try to cure "acid r..o-.:th" with a dentifrice. Go to a doct.":' for your stomach instead. 6. Don't pick your teeth with a sharp instrument, like a pin or a needle. In fact, don't pick them at all; use dental floss to remove particles of food between the teeth. 7. Don't try to pull nails with yoar teeth or both thread or use them In any way in place of tools. They were given you for chewing, not for carpentry. 8. Don't worry a loose tooth. Sometimes it tightens again and can be saved. Consult a dentist. 9. Don't buy dentriSces that clilm to do everything fjom cleaning the toothbrush to' curing Indigestion Find out the formula of the one you want to use (if your dentist won't tell you write to the Bureau of Druirs. Department of Agriculture at Washington) and then ask your druggist if it contains anything harmful. 10. Visit yocr dentist regularly every three months for Inspection and repairs. Don't be afraid of him It's out of data. Dentistry has taken huge strides since the old days v.-heti the dentist's operating room was a chamber of horrors.

It Isn't water that makes the skin of your hands rough. That is. not plain water. It's dirty water that .-polls them. Keep in the kitchen four or five pairs of cheap g'.oves (you can probably get them at the ten cent store, or you can use old kid ones.) Mark each pair with a number and keep them on hooks correspondingly numbered. Use one pair for washing dishes, one for scrubbing, one for dusting and sweeping, one for the bathroom, and one for washing clothes and windows, etc. It may sound too difficult but its a habit easily acquired. And it pays. Do all your "wet" work fir6t wash your dishes, clean the bathroom, wash your windows, etc. Then take off your gloves, wash your hands with soap and warm water, rinse in clear, warm water and when dry pour a little plain glycerine on your pa'm and rub it into both hands. Put on your dusting and sweeping gloves, which not only protect your hand3 from dust but help to rrevent callouses on the palms. While you do your work, your skin is being fed and softened within the glove andyour h3nds. instead of being the worse for housework, will be the better for it Don't 1b;r:V: ' too much trouble J;i?t try it Many tbirt-.car-o'd hoi;ew'.'e b? ;l'ty-yea--old baiid? Don"t let your hands ".ip about our fip-e.

This keep the skin soft and counteract the effects of the many weshings which the housewife's hands must undergo every day.
