P aris rulers of fnshion say to
women all over the world:
“ W ear your sk irts above your
knees and paint your ears red."
And the pathetic fact ia th a t
millions of women will w ear sk irts
so short as to be silly, and paint
th e ir ears w ithout loss of time
Also the eyelids are to be stained
dark brown o r blue, the eyelashes
curled, and the inaide of the nos

PROFIT IS AN IRON R t’LER
T rade practices som etim es ru n counter to our usual
theo ries of economy. For Instance, the U nited S tates
is both an Im porter and exporter of b utter. W hai a para
«lexical condition if » » did not know lorn» of the pre-
w t n«t effect» of buying and selling!
We imported i9.4O4.si« pounds of b ueetr in 1924. and
« f « year we exported R.254.B22 pounds. From Den
»nark we Im ported 7.182.414 pounds of b u tter and to Den-
’nar*’ we sold 277.4B1 pounds in 1924
Ow-r b u tte r Im ports come from Denmark. England.
Canada. A rgentina. Holland. A ustralia. New Zealand and
o th er countries
From d istan t New Zealand we bought
’.312.507 pounds of b u tte r last year. From A rgentina w
bobght 3.198 587 pounds.
Mexico was th e larg est buver of American biltter.

Red ears, when n a tu ral, indicate
good blood condition. But for wo
men to w ear sk irts th a t would look
foolish on a child, paint artificial
health on th e ir ears, curl th eir

seem s too much. However, back
of it all there is divine wisdom, u n
doubtedly. Woman is on her w ay

We c m estim ate the wealth un
der ground in this country. The
Marland Oil Company strikes a nevg
oil well in Its Colorado territory.
The roar o f the gas. rushing out,
tw enty million feet a day, c m be
heard for six miles. If gas were
worth one dollar a thousand, which
ia called “a cheap, confiacat -y
price." how much would that well
yield in money?
And the wealth
in the ground Is

perhaps I»«» than th« wealth In th«
air. Floating above «vary farm,
waiting to be taken out and uaed,
it enough nitrogen to fartlllxe
many such farms. We buy nitrogen
hauled all the way from South
America, and there are btllioaa of
torn of it above our k -.-c.

The Suprem e Court was not able
to i ;>bo!il the coMtittttionaiity of
an a, t to protect children, although
certain so called "radical" Justices
on th a t bench did uphold It.
However, our highest court does
find a way to protect fish and game.
About a hundred year« ago, In
a Vermont log cabin, a young
m other read to her children old
Bible stories, about the whale th at
swallowed Jonah. Elijah and h it
chariot of fire and the fig tree th a t
w ithered under Divine rebuke.
That mother was poor and all
her people were poor, and our» waa
a young and poor nation then.
The old Bible from that log cabin, ’ '
carefully wrapped up, waa token to
the broad platform before the t>pl-
toi. With hl» hand on that Bible,
Calvin Coolidge eworw to do hit
duty aa President of the United
State». He 1» the grandson of the
New England woman that owned
the Bible, 100 y e a n ago.
Thia ia the land of
