“‘There Is in the People Themselves the Power to Put Forth Great Men” By CALVIN COOLIDGE, in “The Price of Freedom.* JNNOCENCE is not enough in government administration. There must be added that character and ability that come only from grappling with the great problems of life, most usually gained by Americans in great business and administrative activities. There is no < force so democratic as the force of an ideal. The great test of an institution is its ability to perpetuate itself. No government can be successful which outlaws any good influence, wherever its source, whatever its calling. Education is undertaken to give a larger comprehension of life. There has never been a great people, who did not possess great learning. We do not wish to be Greek, we do not wish to be Roman. We have a great desire to be supremely American. It is not enough to teach men science; the great thing is to teach ■ them how to use science. People Are not created for the benefit of industry but industry is created for the benefit of the people. The satisfactions of life arise from the art of self-expression. Progress has lain in the cultivation and maintenance of a state of mind. It has been in general a strong adherence to ideals. We do not need more material development, we need more spiritual ; development. We do not need more intellectual power, we need more ! moral power. We do not need more knowledge, we need more character, j We do not need more government, we need more culture. We do not need ' more law, we need, more religion. We do not need more of the things that are seen, we need more of the things that are unseen. There is in the people themselves the power to put forth great men. There is in the soul of the nation a reserve for responding to the call to ' high ideas, to nobility of action, which has never yet been put forth. There is no problem so great but that somewhere a man is being raised to meet if . A Tornado Is a Revolving, Devastating Cloud: It Is Not a Cyclone ■ . By GAYLE PICKWELL, in Nature Magazine. — A tornado is a cloud; an upright, revolving, roaring, devastating cloud. But it is not a typhoon, a monsoon, or a hurricane. Above all it i is not a “cvclone.” Typhoons and monsoons are storms covering large areas, hundreds of miles in diameter, and they give rise to straight winds only. The winds of a tornado have a violent rotary motion. The word “Cyclone” refers, correctly, to the great storm areas which pass, week by week, across the United States. The weather man reports a storm; that storm is the result of the approach of a cyclone covering, mayhap, the entire Mississippi valley or the Pacific coast or the Atlantic. A tornado at its largest will be less than 1,000 feet wide at the base. Whenever the barometer falls a cyclone is approaching. A tornado j may accompany it, provided the cyclone is of tornado character; provided the locality is tornado territory; above all, provided it is tornado season. Tornadoes, like roasting ears, come in season. That season, contrary to the general notion, is not July and August! It is not even June, the sultry month of summer, but is limited, strangely and fortunately, to I March. April and Hay. April is the month of bumper tornado crops. , The hot days of summer are not producers of the funnel clouds. The tornado comes usually in the late afternoon or the early evening. ■ They seldom occur outside the United States, and the Mississippi valley reserves them mainly for itself. Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri run neck and neck for funnel-cloud honors. Nebraska easily takes second place. And, closely in order, come Mississippi, Alabama. lowa, Illinois, the Dakotas and Minnesota. Outside this region the whirling cloud seldom strikes. * “Some Women in Every Age Drank Liquor, a Few Even Enjoyed a Smoke —” I By DR. J. SMITH, President Roanoke College. Some women in every age drank liquor, a few even enjoyed a smoke, many of them threw away their honor, but the world has never known the . turning loose of such an army of hard-drinking, cigarette-puffing, licen--1 tious Amazons as walk our streets and invade our campuses today. There are three things in college social life that bother us most—- | drinking, dancing and social impurity. We are prone to take them too i seriously, especially if our college is a church institution. They exist in ■ the world everywhere, and. I have personally known them to exist in our own theological seminaries. What can we do when the daughters of the so-called “best people” come out attired scantily in clothing, but abundantly in paint; with a ' bottle of liquor, not on the hip, but in the handbag; dance as voluptuously 1 as possible in order to be attractive enough to be spoken about every other step, so. as to appear popular, call for frequent intermissions to give them I opportunity to quench their thirst from the bottle, and with the man of their choice engage in violent petting parties in the luxunous reireat of I a big limousine? Two Popular Symbols of America: the Statue of Liberty and Uncle Sam By RALPH BARTON PERRY, in Century Magazine. There are two popular symbols of America. One is Columbia enI throned, or the Statue of Liberty enlightening the world. America, so symbolized, is a modern replica of Juno, whose chief concern it was to . look after other people’s morals. Juno was the Olympian prude, a model ' matron and'self-appointed censor. It is to our credit, however, that we have felt the need of another rmibol. While the Statue of Liberty embodies our conscious rectitude • * and inspires our laudatory »and exemplary nationalism. Uncle Sam, thank | God, is not a statue. He is so constituted that he could not by any stretch j of the imagination occupy a pedestal. He could not hold the pose with- • out feeling ridiculous. He is hearty and fraternal, and generous, i and, above all, unselfconscious. He has a kind of instinctive wisdom by ! which he anticipates and disarms the laughter of the world by laughing ' promptly at himself. I t It is Unde Sam who feeds the hungry tramp at the back door, while . 1 the Statue of Liberty reads him a lecture from the porch. It was Uncle ; ' Sam who went to Prance in 1917 and to Russia in 1919, while the Statue of Liberty remainedTlTiome—on its pedestal. I 1 Miss Rebecca West, British Novelist. —The people who are worried because they believe that the present surplus of 2,000,000 women in Eng- • , land will necessitate polygamy are all wrong. For one thing, the women do not* fed the so-called tragedy of their situation, for none of them conr aiders herself {one of the surplus. Moreover, there is no man living who could make four or five women happy. There are many men who cannot make even one woman happy. Charles M. Moderwell, Chicago Board of Education. —Intelligent citizenship should be the object of instruction in all of onr American •chools.

Like French Mode •With Few Changes

The burden of going forward has shifted from the Ingenious hand of the Paris designer to the graceful shoulders of the fashionable woman, observes a fashion writer In the New York Herald-Tribune. A short time ago the Paris couturier was industriously offering his artistic product to a waiting world. New Ideas, some quite radical, were exhibited—certain old motifs were retained, and descriptions and sketches of the new Paris suggestions were broadcast to wherever smart women gathered. The readers know that the new Paris silhouette Is straight and affectedly simple, that : French skirts miss the ground by i some fourteen inches, that elaboration | is the essence of the current mode and ' that plait, flounce and tunic are its [ principal manifestations. They have I seen sketches of the beltless frock and of the low waistline, the severe tailleur and the three-quarter length coat. The next and, to most women, the : most Important phase of the springI tiiue mode concerns the extent to which the recent innovations will be | indorsed. For femininity, despite i ideas to the contrary, does not leap boldly from one extreme to another, I preferring rather to slowly absorb /I) I ' l fl* \ / fill ‘ I'AV nJ \ 111 II Ly * I ■ i pW I I A- -I > Dress of Black Alpaca, Tunic Embroidered in White Silk and Scarf Paced With White Crepe de Chine. new ideas and adopt them gradually and in a modified form. Consider first the skirt length, which has been a much mooted question sin<*e the revolutionary days of the war. One season long, one season j short, its only consistency Is its certainty to change. This season Paris has insisted on very short skirts, reaching on an average to no more' than eight inches below’ the knee. It is not surprising that the American i woman, the slimness of whose ankles is proverbial, should have espoused this style with some degree of en- ; thusiasm —but, always a little more dignified than the Parisienne, she has tempered her acceptance with a becoming modesty. Admitting the influence of Paris, but subjecting it to domestic revision, the approved skirt length this side the Atlantic has been established at

Decorated Footwear

It is most Important to bear in mind, in connection with the question ■of your new evening shoes, that the ! color of the dress must be Closely ap--1 proximated in the slipper—the smartest and most modish ensemble touch ; of the season joins evening and shoes in an identity of color. It is evident that the most popular type of shoe for the country club will be the white suede slipper trimmed i with lizard. Buckles, in varying shapes and sizes, are the most Important of the shoe accessories. They are made from numerous materials —some are steel, either plain or studded with rhinestones, some bronze, others enamel and some few are developed in the finest of leathers. The tendency is away from the steels and toward the more striking effects such as brilliants ’ studded with colored stones. In addition to the conventional sqnare. oval and round buckles there are novel wing motifs, butterflies, circlets, crescents and snakes. I The jeweled heel Is the dernier crl of the evening mode. The heel itself

Dainty Things to Be Found in the Stores

The shops are displaying the new “slave jewelry,” which, according to those versed in sartorial prophecy, will supplant the now popular costume jewelry. Filigree effects are shown in 1 the more expensive costume jewelry. Slave bracelets are silver, gold or silj ver and gold combined. In long links joined together by smaller ones, giving the Impression of being heavier than they really are. Necklaces are * long, massive appearing affairs that I might t<e used to chain any captive to • bis ceil. Large, elaborate fans from Paris portray»a delicate lady who might have stepped from a Watteau picture, her billowy skirts made of„ ruffles of taffeta and ehlffon. She Is framed with long, sweeping ostrich plumes in all the most-liked evening shades, orange, blue, pink, black and white. A delightful novelty that will charm the young girl is a feather fan bag. These ostrich feather bags are in the shape of fang, with bindings and handle of gold braid. The feathers » . i

about ten Inches above the ground—and It marks a decided improvement both In poise and dignity over the French frocks. Another instance wherein the word of Paris was accorded something' less than its wonted reception concerns itself with the widely bruited strictly tailored suit. Not that there has been any hesitancy about accepting the O’Rossen styled costume. Far from it The trim, severe lines, the short hip-length jackets and above all the splendidly conceived materials of the Paris-designed tailleur place it in the front ranks of the new clothes. But in France the suit is a necessity, an absolute essential. No Parisienne dares complete her wardrobe without at least one of these mannish costumes, which is not the ctfse on these less Impulsive shores. Whether from a fear that the suit would become vulgarized through a too extended vogue, or from a sense of Innate conservatism. the fact remains ftiat the response of the American woman to the rigidly tailored vogue has not nearly measured up to expectations. Os course it’s a safe acquisition—the severe suit will be decidedly eu regie this season and even more so next—but it is not prescribed. And if It doesn’t become you, you may neglect it in your new outfit and have’ no qualms about being demode. Silhouette and Trimmings. As to the silhouette and the trimming details of the new Paris dresses, they have been indorsed without qualification. The slim outline is even more acceptable this side of the Atlantic than in Paris, inasmuch as the typical American girl has more youthful proportions. And where the silhouette is straight and plain the details, of course, are extremely elaborate. Yet we dare this prophecy: Along about the middle of the season there will be a reaction toward a more Involved silhouette, perhaps bouffant, perhaps flaring to one side, and with It, as a ’necessary consequence, will come a greater simplicity of trimming. The certain prevalence of the short skirt for spring has placed an added Importance on the new footwear. Shoe styles change with lightning rapidity, and this season a wealth of entirely new ideas is offered. Lines are sharply drawn between daytime and evening slippers and the same type of siioe is not appropriate for both, occasions. For Informal wear, with short skirts and youthful lines, short and medium vamps in combination with medium toes are worn, while the medium point is en regie sh the evening. The cut-out effect, with one or two straps, Is a universal and invariable note at all times. Among the fashionable leathers for daytime lizard is the most emphasized. Alligator, despite much propaganda. Is quite out of the picture. The popular suedes are brown nnd gray—but decidedly not black, which is both clumsy and demode. For wear with black cloth—and black is widely worn this season—black patent kid, trimmed with white piping, is both smart and effective. When the color scheme of the costume is brown, tan shoes trimmed with brown, gold or white are appropriate. The bronze shoe is back after a prolonged’ absence and is worn in Conjunction with brown-hued frocks. In the evening fancy suedes are far and away the most important shoe fabric. Blue shades predominate, challenged closely by green and red in rhe order named. Gold and silver kids, both as a trimming on the suede and as the basic leather of the shoe, are widely noted. The smartest combinations among the satins are Mack trimmed with silver kid and brown trimmed with gold kid.

Is more conservative and much more subdued than in the immediately preceding seasons, but this comparative severity is more than compensated for by the garish brilliance of the studded jewels. These stand out on dull backgrounds tn vivid sparklings of red, green and blue. Stockings for afternoon wear feature the beige shades with their Interesting versions of the much-wanted peau brule and noisette the latter a taupe variation. The leading evening colors are gazelle, albino, rose and blonde. The fabric of the stocking la chiffon, almost without exception—and it is the sheerest and most fragile type of chiffon. White Kid Shoes White* fabric shoes, with white leather trimmings, will be worn extensively by women when the time for white shoes arrives. Speaking about ' white shoes brings about memories of reports current to the effect that white kid leather will be the most popular of all white materials for footwear.
