WOMEN'S WAYS The advertising manager of a well-known eastern firm engaged in the manufacture and distribution of cosmetics on a large scale estimates that it costs on an average three dollars each annually for women of the United States to keep their complexions in a satisfactory condition. Certain self-appointed reformers have been busy warning women against the physical and moral harm which is in vited by the use of powders and rouges, and paragraphers, ever on the alert to find something to impress their employers ' vue with the feeling that they are earning their pay, even yet'., speak flippantly of the extent to which women and girls ' practice the facial decorative art. J If the women of the United States, for an average expen-; "diture of three dollars a year, can get as much satisfaction as seems 'probable from the use of cosmetics, what mere man should give voice to criticism? In some of the larger cities; many a man is thankful to get away , front one sitting in a barber's chair for that sum. The complaint that women will eventually ruin their com plexions by the excessive use of cosmetics seems beside the question. is willing to take a chance on ruining this asset in attracting men, is not that also her own affair? The fact that women are spending something like $100, 000,000 a year for toilet accessories is a tribute to modern fwli,i,tiinr urtii.h in (Viin (V.1TV, nf nilMinltif Vw.o ,..,!, ,1 111 MMAUK R.M.F. ..-,.

CAPITALIZING ENEMIES- " Edward Bok tellB of the manner in which he turned an tagonism into capital when he was editor of the Ladies Home Journal, with results that put the stamp of success on hi3 idea. When he first became editor, the newspapers and humorous papers were flooded with joking references to the ludicrousnoss of a man editing a woman's paper. No end of fun was poked at Bok. As a result, the magazine received a largo amount of free advertising, which. Bok accepted gratefully. lie went further, and by hunting out the cleverest writers who thought they were "roasting" him, succeeded in adding them to his own staff, thus raising the standard of excellence in his magazine. The public notice which some might have thought adverse, link turned into assets for his enterprise. Few of the most lively disagreements taking place in the business world would ever come to the head they do, if this policy of laming the lion' were oftener followed. Talent is as admirable in one cause as in another, and in most cases it can be brought over from the enemy's camp as by the same amount of energy which it would take to fight it. In Bok's case the opposition was largely of a friendly nature; in other cases where the antagonism is bitter, this method of conquest seems efficient as well as strategic. A physician attributes the fact that today a woman of forty looks twenty to her habit of "casting away superfluous clothes." A " ftp, ?L . ' ' ' I dren living at the hotel here,' she says, "buv I really don't have time to see them much. You see. they are busy with school, dolls and one thing. and another, while I have to spend a great deal of lime learning my parta. "I go to school three hours a day, which may seem like a short time, but our work In class Is real ly very complete. I'm in seventh grade now. but soon I expect to be in eighth." Mltzi Wonders Mltzl wonders If folks have the Idea that she doesn't think up her ideas for impersonations. "I have heavy Ideas on Imper sonations, and a theory that people have to have apparent peculiarities before you can mimic them. That's why some actors are hard to Im personate. It sound like a slam, but It Isn't. "Some stars are great actors, but they Just don't do obvious things an Impersonator can overempha size." Yes, she's really only 10 years old. POLITICIANS AND .

"It is interesting to compare the results of this policy, where nine American lives have been lost, to that of Theodore Roosevelt ln far-off Morocco of 'Perdlcarls alive of Hals uli dead'," Fish said. The New Yorker corended the marines either should be withdrawn immediately or used to protect both American lives and property.

The fourth clay of the fire re vealed 20,188 ruined buildings, coverins 5?0 city blocks. Thousands were left homeless. Property destruction reached the enormous total of 350 million dollars. This one fire swept away all underwrites profit earned by the Stock Fire Insurance companies since 1860 and 80 million dollars in addition. CE companies paid more than 200 million' dol lars into the stricken city, and San Francisco stands today as a magnificent example of the restorative power of sound insurance and the courage and resourcefulness of its citizens. Through succeeding years the Stock Fire Insurance companies comprising the National Board of Fire Underwriters have inrreMsed their efforts to mj',:e cities safer protect life and property in all communitics- : the possibility of San Francisco's experience being repeated anywhere. pecial 25th Anniversary Broadcast April 18 Jver 65 stations of the Columbia Broadcasting System 6 to 7 P.
