Mr. Bowerman, with long eg, natural pompadour, and a sad. tax-paying-tune look, waa aent In to take the place of a "three year letterman" and prominent mem bar of the Triple Keggas, who had tuckered out In the heat of battle. Mr. Bowerman la not even an aver age walteer, and no hand for tea. All he waa supposed to do waa up hold the countleaa tradltlona of Old Oregon and get In the road of the foe, If poulble. The first thing William did waa to' flop the Hon. Maria Hufford of MUton-Freewatar, On., the aoa of the Waablngton team, ao hard that all the rocking chairs la Umatilla county started looking. Oregon had 1 points, much mora than they ever axpeotcd to gamer, and the furious Huskies were battling for a touchdown, and It looked like they wen going to get It, and tha "contest, bitterly waged," would end with honors even and tha acora tied, Bo a forward pass waa flipped by tha badly Jarred Mr, Huf ford. Mr. Bowerman ungenttemanly snatched It "almost from his very hands," and started percolating down tha field, with an objective B7 yards away.

Th "bad habit" may b anything from thumb-aucklrtf to tmpr tan trum nd destnlctlrsnesa. Befon trying . to break a habit, ft I best first' to consider whether or not th Interest of which It Is th expression may not be put to good ust. Thus on mother mention that her !ltti girl ha th habit of both ring her when she Is busy In th kitchen, constantly handling th utensils and Interfering In the prep aration of food. Scolding and apank Ing. ah aays, do no good. This mother will solve Mr probtaa, conditions of. the- country eco- ' . ....... . ' - all wrong.--Keturn tnose r-innaras will take care of itself. not by trying to break hr child of th habit of being Intsrasted In what 1 going on In th kitchen, but by putting hr to work helping with whattrw I folrjf forward. Thus th child can hav a little dlah of har own tn which to shell pas or string beans. Bh can bsat Cgs. help dry dlah and put them away,-and bring mother uunell a ah nd, them. When, however, habit It nally bad, which means bad for tb child, or so Inconvenient that It interferes with horn routine, th first step I to find a substitute activity. ' In th Inatano of a child who suck hi thumb. It help to keep hi hand aa busy as poulbl with his toys. In such eases It is best to dis tract th child' attention wtth a competing Intereet instead of tailing him to stop what he la doing. Whan th child eric or has a tan trum, ba ur that he never get what h want by these means, other wise hs will continue to us them to geti his own way la aa - increasingly tyrannous fashion. Today By Arthur Brisbane War in Asia? Maybe. A Pretty Good Dollar, More Gold for Canada. A Good New Book. ' Copyright King Feature Synd, Inc. We talk of world depression, and suddenly the face of things may -change by war in Asia. Europe,' America and Austra lia have shown how murderous Iy stupid they can be in the big war. . Now it is Asia's turn. Japan, planning to seize Chi nese territory, temporarily per haps, sends some stern letters, backed up with air bombs, battleships, troops. Chinese merchants' in America boycott Japanese goods. Let that go onto the usual conclusion, and the prices of wheat, cotton, copper will creep upward. Other nations will de plore the war, sanctimoniously, and sell goods eagerly. And you will be amazed to see bow easily nations find money for war when they can not find prosperity in honest industry., Th Polish people, who borrow cash and financial Ides from France, are getting rid ' of American dollars.

In youth generally m o r - than enough se bum 1 poured out - upon the skin. . After 30 the amount i of oil naturally se oreted by th skin tend to diminish, and often there I not enough to keep the akin in good condition, ao that the akin becomes dry, harsh, Irri table, rough, cold and sallow. Like wise the scalp and hair. Many girl . and' young women make the mistake of daubing aU kind of creams,, ointment, and other greasy complexion preparations on the skin, which merely add to the excess of oil already present. What la mors ridiculous, many of the cosmetic nostrums purport .to feed the skin or something, th manufacturers apparently having the secret of nourishing the body with out putting- anything through the esophagus. Many of the' customers ara beautiful or would be with a little less artifice; all of them must be pretty dumb. , : Tot more mature Individuals who have Insufficient natural akin oil (sebum) various oils are helpful In keeping the skin In good condition and th complexion dear. On of the best la plain cold cream freshly prepared by the pharmacist after the formula of Ung. Aquae Rosa (oint ment of rose water) in -hi standard formulary, the Pharmacopoeia. No artificial akin oil can compare with the natural sebum. AU artific ial akin oil have the drawback that they do hot last long they dry up too quickly, or disappear by attri tion.

Sesame oil -waa used by the ancient Egyptians and Per sians and Is tlll used by the Arabs as a skin beauUfler.

He took the ring from Its cas and picked p her left hand. "It may be a Ut ile large," he apologized, "but I think It's rather pretty." "It's beautiful."

She held her head just as high, If sot a bit higher than before, but no one was deceived. Not even her obvious devotion to Peak Abbott, and b'is equally obvious devotion to her, seemed enough to make her forget what ber step-brother had done. Her friends did their best to aid In tbe forgetting process. The en gagement offered sufficient excuse for a round of entertainments that left her no nlgbt in the week to her own devices. Her days were busy enough with her housekeeping and her job on tbe Express. Peo ple wondered, audibly, why she kept on with ber Job. Peak wondered tbe same thing.

"I'm worried about yon. There's something tbe matter with yon, Sam, and I wish you'd tell me what It is." "Dont be silly. Peak." . She looked away. "There's nothing the matter with me."
