What is summertime without s sleeveless knitted sweater or more esthetically speaking, a jacquette sans sleeves 1 Everybody’s wearing one, or If not, why not. for is there any costume Item as Indispensable to one’s enjoyment and comfort on golf links, tennis court or anywhere In the great outdoors as one’s sweater? Especially does one’s sweater endear itself to its owner, when it

refuses to be cumbersome In that It omits sleeves, counting them superfluous in the pursuit of sports. What class distinction exists among sweaters and jacquette modes I For instance, at a glance one recognizes that the sleeveless sweater in the picture Is an aristocrat among the sans sleeve type. If prize competing. It would surely have a blue ribbon pinned upon it. Its color scheme Is unusual in that peach pink ornate stripes are interknit with solid white. This is an outcome of the pronounced vogue for pink, which is featured this year throughout all costuming. If one’s fancy Inclines to more virile colorinn the bright plaid sleeveless sweater is the especial object of fashion’s pride this season The blaze stripe sweater has its devotees, too. It Is apparent that stripes and plaids are running a very keen competition in the field of knitted outerwear. To be up to the moment In sportswear one wears with one's striped or plaided sleeveless sweater a knittHl skirt done in solid color. There Is in some instances an Ingenious simulation of plaits achieved in the skirt through the cunning of knitted stitch. Many of the knitted vest effects

or rather, sleeveless sweaters, art uniquely fashioned in that the fronts are fancifully striped or plaited while the back* are perfectly plain. An other interesting detail to the binding of solid knit both as to coloring and stitch. This gives a trig tailored aspect, which counts In favor for sports wear. JULIA BtITTOMLEY. <C.

Something to Think About By F. A IDALKER

BETTER THAN GOLD FOR ages it Yas been the custom of the larger' proportion of earthlings to bow to the yellow god of gold and worship it, overlooking tn their insane idolatry the wondrous, enduring riches that He at their feet, disregarded and trodden down. Children come into the world with shining eyes and laughter on their lips. They are as blithesome as birds in the springtime until they are taught by their parents to look reverently ui>on the cold face of the god of mammon. Then comes a change in their speech and deportment The little rich child is Instructed to look with disfavor upon the little poor child, so a sharp line of distinction Is drawn between them and each goes his or her way, unfriendly towards each other. A bitterness springs up in their hearts. As the years come and go. It grows to pride, disrespect and hate. Then follow the oft-repeated tales of history—strife, war, bloodshed, tears and sorrowings—tales that have been told over and over with rancor since the creation of man. The happiness which the children knew is crushed to death beneath the ponderous weight of gold. The carefree laughter which they brought with them has flown away beyond their reach, and they have become hardfaced and sordid, like the rest of us, thinking and dreaming mostly of earthly wealth and power. There are some noble spirits, however. who scornfully turn their backs upon the false god. refusing to bow down to It or admit its supremacy.

Reflections of a Bachelor Girl ♦ Bq HELEN ROWLAND

WHAT constitutes a -popular follow*: The ability to tell a pood story—to mon, and a good Ho to a woman. Every girt hitches her wagon to a star. In these days; but that never seems to prevent her from wanting a husband. If only as a parachute In case of disaster. Advising a husband how to rule Ma wife or a wife how to manage her husband to deliberately juggling with T. N. T. But the world will always be full of Intrepid “advisers," who keep the rest of us busy “picking up the pieces.” Nothing helps a woman’s morale, in times of trouble, like a brand-new marcel, a freshly powdered nose, and an admiring glance from a good-look-ing stranger. — Between climbing onto a pedestal in order to reach a man’s ideal, and having to step off of it, every now and then, In order to get down to his level, the average wife feels almost as though she were committing polygamy. If a man were as careful about selecting a wife as he to about selecting a bootlegger, and as cautious about signing his name to a matriage certificate as he to about signing it to a check, there would be fewer sentimental bankrupts in the hands of the Reno receivers. No matter what noble principles a nan may stand for. bis wife feels justi-

You wifi find them among the*faithful, the charitable, and big-hearted, working earnestly for the betterment of mankind, unmindful of riches, forgetful of everything else except the life in which gold loses Its value in the august presence of character and" divine possibility.

Do we tremble In terror at the monstrous god of wealth, its pomp and splendor and power, or do we. like the faithful, consider it merely a myth of time, doomed to banishment with the oncoming dawn of eternity? 0 <© by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)

After all the meat is removed, the bits too small to serve on the table may be used iu a salad or a cream sauce on toast. The bones, with a stalk or two of celery, with an onion and a bit of carrot, covered witb cold water and simmered for several hours, will make a most delicious soup.

Congress, Not Only Negligent of Public Interest, but Contemptuous of It By NICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER, President Columbia University. IT IS mere platitude to repeat that the three departments of our government are independent of each other, and that each in its field is representative of the people. As matters have developed, it is the legislative branch of the government, the congress, which has chiefly broken down, not only in efficiency and in public service, but in representative character and capacity. The President, and the President alone, directly represents the whole people of the United States, for “he is the single public officer in whose choosing the entire electorate may take part. The Supreme court represents the people in respect of their fundamental principles and their controlling ideals, and in its political capacity it exists to interpret passing moods, changing opinions, and attempted acts in the light of these principles and ideals. The congress, with here and there a few notable and outstanding exceptions in its memberships, has ..become not only negligent of the public interest, but contemptuous of it. When the roll is called in the senate and the house of representatives the voices that answer—again j with a few notable and outstanding exceptions—are not the voices of i public servants fearless to do their duty, and impatient to serve the interest of the whole people, but rather the voices of partisan bitterness, of malice, of selfish and disordered ambition, of blocs and groups and sections. The still small voice of any representative of the whole ; people is drowned among the strident clamor of such. If the record of the present house of representatives is bad, and if that of the Sixty-eighth congress as a whole is one that gravely disappoints every patriotic American, what is to be said of the exhibition of shameless contempt for the public interest and of ill-mannered scandal-mongering that is presented by .the senate? It is probably within., the truth to say that American political history will be searched in vain foY any similar degrading exhibition. The Moral Teaching of Jesus Cannot Be Detached Froih His Religion By ERNEST F. SCOTT, in “Ethical Teachings of Jesus.” I TT- • Histoneal perspective is too often forgotten in the anxiety to state the ideals of Jesus in modern terms. ... I have tried in this book to approach the subject with an open mind and with the one aim of discovering, on the ground of critical and historical study, what Jesus actually taught. . . . Some modern writers have maintained that if the Christian ethic is to be placed on a firm basis it must be cut loose from the entanglements of religious beliefs. They hold that when it is so separated it will commend itself to people of all religions and of no religion at all. The very existence of God ihay be denied, and the Christian ethic will stand foursquare on the ground of its own intrinsic worth. , But whether we like it or not, the moral teaching of Jesus is rooted in His religion, and cannot be detached from it. Even His demand for social brotherhood is based on a religious postulate, and is left hanging in the air when this is withdrawn. There is no way of saving Jesus’ ethic at the expense of His religion; but it can never be sufficiently emphasized that He builds always on the central things in religion. Ancient Though It Is, the World Acts Very Much Like a Spoilt Child • By REV. RAY B. WHITE, Denver Preacher. Ancient though it is, the world acts very much like a spoilt child. It is whimsical, fretful and impudent What it likes it takes, and what it dislikes it throws away, having little, if any, sense of values, and caring less about what is good for it. The art of selectivity has reached a high degree of development among men. Nothing is obligatory, not even God. The world is a vast 5 and 10 cent store, in which people go about picking up just anything that suits their fancy. If the God of the Bible does not suit the thinkers of today, they remodel Him accordingly—and most anybody’s model will do. The counter is piled with them. If the Bible is in any way found objectionable, it is revised, abbreviated, or rejected at pleasure. No one is obliged to believe anything that is not altogether agreeable. Life has become very convenient for everybody. — "If Any One Denies That Horses Have a Language Among Themselves—” ” By JOSEPH C. DRUM, American Writer. If any one denies that horses have a language among themselves, will they kindly explain what I have frequently seen, a herd of wild horses standing stock still, all looking at an approaching enemy, then suddenly by concerted action, dashing, all of them, downjto the smallest baby, in the same direction, with the chief leading? Or will they explain how it is certain men and women can talk ; or hum to the wildest stallion and turn the animal into a perfectly . docile one without laying a hand on him ? • In my philosophy courses at college I was willing to admit a horse was without a soul, but I kept the talk and sense part to myself until I got my hands on that degree. You see, I could not forget the day my bronco. Bay Billy, threw me. a ten-year-old boy, accidentally, in pivotmg after a steer, and without a call from me stood immovable as I hung with I one foot caught in the stirrup and until I had pulled myself up and taken hold Os the reins again. Had he run away my brains would have been . dashed out. Our Danger Now Is From the Millions of Sleeping Beauties to Be Waked By IDA (JLYbE CLARKE, in Pictorial Review. The thing for women to worry about is not man’s attitude—for the walls of prejudice are slowly giving way. Their big task is to change womans attitude. ' Os the twenty-five million women citizens of the United States only a few million have demonstrated the slightest interest in their obligations as citizens. It is true that we must help to men from the centuries of wrong . thinking regarding the righto and responsibilities of women, but what to even more important, we must free women from the results of this wrong thinking. Man is slowly coming to his senses. We can afford to let him alone for a while. His heart is well disposed. Most of his “injustices” to us are rooted in his ideas of protection. He really means well toward us. Our danger now to from the millions of sleeping beauties of our own sex. We must wake them up. ' President W. J. Davidson of Illinois Wesleyan University.—lntelligence tests during the war touched nearly all homes, and showed very effectively that best jobs went to those with education. They also showed widespread illiteracy and incapacity. Stories of these tests have been told in every soldier’s home. The effect has been to start the minds of parents working for the better education of their children, and an increased trend of young manhood and womanhood toward college. R. E. L.
