Clement, who had chosen for her puhject, "After War Problems of France," in detail pointed out thmomentous questions which the French nation must face and solve within thM next few months. Th" three Iradint? problems demanding Immediate attention, according to Mile. Clement, are those involving th survival of the race, the In bor situation and the moral Issuer both Individual and national. In the estimation of the speaker, the racial j.roMpni I i,y far 'th mn.-t vit.v! for with more than a million and one-half Frenchmen killed in the four years of war, and a million more permanently incapacitated in me way. tho French nation faces the possibility of absolute distinction within the next lOu years unless some adequate means is discovered to counteract this handicap and increase the country birth rate.

Clement, although admitting that the vulnerability of France to attack by the Cermans was probably due to the Herman knowledge of this condition, asserted that in many instances th- scarcity of children in France was a result of the following causes: 1st. Unwillingness on th- part of the peasant to a toe fine division of land; Und. The tenant problem (encountered also in this country) when landlords refuse dwellings to lare families; Hrd. rc.slre .n part of parents to trive the education which might be den! d were there a lar'-:e number of children; 4th. Purely selfish reasons. As a solution of the lace problern the speaker cited the sucpestions already made and worked upon, which include the remedy, the lowering of the marriage ae. the levying of a heavy tax upon unmarried single men and childless married couples, and most important, the conservation of the children now livinc: through the ministrations of national vMtin nurse organizations and fdmilar precautionary method". There is a bill now before the lawmaking -body of France providing additional support of the ;or and widowed mother with larp;e families, which will solve, at least partially, the economic Mu,,stion involved in these cases, but in the vast majority of instances a national pol-

i needs and demands v. hu h w: be

met by lur nation soon in respect to tbe reconstruction of the devastated lands, the rebuilding of railroads and ships and the replacing of machinery. She pointed out that In th reeonstruteion questions factors such as the scarcity of materials and .stock must be considered as important items, alont? with the total lick of the fruits of special work which has been absolutely discontinued durim: the war periodShe advocated a movement to replace all churches, schools and dwellings with structures as simi'ar as possible in material and line in order to preserve the individuality of the communities, while at the tame time to institute modern improvements and comforts and to incorporate into the French civic life the structures which will make possible more of the community life than has eer been possible before because of the lack of adequate meeting places. The building and rebuilding of ships must be a prime undertaking of France, according to Mile. Clement, who declares that the need for steel anil iron with whic hto accomplish this purpose must be filled by importation from the allied countries, because her nation lias been the only one unable throughout the war period to build and maintain her navy in Rood condition. Mile. Clement emphasized the statement that France sent all her men to the front, regardless of rank or position in commercial or manufacturing life, and although this action is now recognized as an industrial mistake, for it involved the Mopping of every wheel of industry and commerce, it typified a mora! triumph of French patriotism and loyalty. I'roni War to Peace. The transformation of war factories and workers into peace fac

tories and workers, presents another ! problem of almost insurmountable ! difficult v. To classifv and standard

ize the oecupations suitable to women :.s opposed to those fitted for masculine endeavor is the primary concern of the government in Frame, said Mile. Clement, in speikirig of the question as to what work women shall continue in upon the return of th" men. She asserted that there is a widespread feeling of independence during ihe past four v;ms. and that it will require deep ;rd careful study, coupled with vonio becrinningM in social fervice work, a movement entirely unknown in France before the war, to bring about a satisfactory mental attitude in regard to th settlement of women's future status in the nation. IVt-war conditions, becoming more apparent each day. in regard to the moral-1 of the returned soldier, the wives and children, must lie met with innovations, borrowed from Fngland and America, declared the speaker in referring to the need for social workers and club life among all those effected by the war. She advocated establishment of organizations, headed by their beloved officers, for the soldiers, club similar to our women's clubs, for the women, and public libraries and playgrounds for the children as remedies for the spirit of unrest which is threatening to overwhelm the morale of her countrymen. Tn conclusion Mile, said: " Tf we believe in ideals to conquer our foes, we must believe in ideals to conquer our problems, ltut not by ideals alone will we conquer but by the spirit of the fiag which has led us victorious against our common foe, and to thU spirit we turn now."

Mrs. M. I. tlillespie, a well known beauty specialist oi Kansas City, recently pave out the following- statement regarding gray hair: "Anyone can prepare a simple mixture at home, at very little cost, that will darken pray hair, and make it soft and glossy. To a half pint of water add 1 ounce of bay rum, a small box of Parlo Compound and 1-1 ounce of glycerine. These ingredients can he bought at any drug store at very little cost, or the druggist will put it up for you. Apply to the hair twice a week until the desired hade is obtained. This will make a pray haired person look twenty years younger. This Is not a. lye, it does not color the most delicate scalp, is not sticky or greasy and does not rub off."
