What price indeed, they aak. could be too high for the specialist in hair dyes who can make a Helen of Troy out of a sallow brunette or a Titian haired beauty out of an Indefinite blonde? It costs three times as much to have one's eyebrows shaped as it did before the war. But expenses have gone up, they say. For instance now they must furnish the best cigarettes for Milady that she may while away the time puffing and inhaling while her beauty is being renovated. New York.

Sept. this will not inspire the slightest elation among the readers of these New York sketches but it got a-glorious guffaw out of rrie. I was coming down Fifth avenuehe other night after an evening rush and I saw a white-wing on his way home. He was walking in the middle of the street. Strong is the power of habit.

New York's white-wings fascinate me. In our town we had only one street cleaner. He wore overalls and a blue gingham shirt. Here in Gotham they are all prettied up in spic and span white suits, and they have the most intrigueing way of smokins a pipe upside down. Thore are those who may scoff at the lowly occupation.

But is is not without its little thrills. Ono wiHder of the wire broom picked up $7S1 in In cold February you have seen, under the glass frame of a hotbed, little green things coming up through the warm soil, freezing air just above them. Rohlfs, flying man with the highest record, reminds us that we live, protected by the atmosphere of our earth, as the little tomato plant lives under the hotbed glass. Rohlfs went up more than 34,000 feet Thursday. He found the temperature nearly 50 degrees below zero.

Yet he was only about six miles above the earth, 8.000 miles in diameter. If he had gone up a few miles more, outside the thin atmosphere which is the glass of our hothouse earth, he would have found absolute zero, the cold ether through which suns and planets travel. Rohlfs wore mittens made by of felt half an inch thick. If you lived in France and had nine children, Mr. Cognacq would give you 25,000 francs.

This gentleman is the greatest philanthropist France has known since Jacques Coeur built and endowed universities five hundred years before John D. Rockefeller was born. By the way, he was ultimately disgraced, imprisoned and stripped of his property, because he became too powerful and got too much. Mr. Cognacq, French Rockefeller of today, had already given forty million francs for war relief work a large sum in France, where fortunes are small.

He now gives fifty-seven million francs to the Academy of Medicine. The income will give twenty-five thousand francs, as long as the money lasts, to every French father and mother -with nine children. France needs big families, and it is to be hoped that Mr. Cosnacq's fifty-seven million francs will stimulate the birth rate. The best big families, born without any spet jal inducement, owe their birth to the patience and devotion of women, to their exaggerated regard for the father of the children.

WORDS THAT COME BACK. STATESMEN who put their agreement with noble visions and their support of practical policies on record when they are not figuring in the clashes of politics are frequently plagued by quotation when they attempt to cut up partisan tricks which, run contrary to their high professions. All along the course of obstruction of the league of nations Senator Lodge has been teased by reminders of his Union college address in 1915 in which he held up the construction of a strong league of nations as an ideal accomplishment. Senator Lodge who is co-Qperating with statesmen who insist that President Wilson should have appointed two leading Republicans on the peace commission is now also plagued by quotation from his "Life WHY BOTHER THE ADMINISTRATION? By 3. E.

WHEN there's any sort of trouble that involves the labor vote The Cabinet receives a hurry call; If the railroad men -get after the Administration's goat Things begin to move with no delay at all. Then it's: "Palmer, hurry, hurry! or we'll all be out of lufc Let Hines remain as silent as a mouse; We must all pretend we'd like to if we could and pass tn buck Serenely to the Senate and the House." IF the packers are receiving too much money for their meat' Let some obscure commission bear the blame; If there's wicked speculation in potatoes, eggs or wheat We must not be coaxed to interrupt the game. So, It's: "Palmer, hurry, hurry! Show them how our hands are Make much of the authority we lack; Agree to think it over, or start something on the side And switch attention to some other track." IF a' private in the army says a thing he shouldn't say, Let his punishment be adequate and quick; But when wicked combinations take the people's rights away Always dodge the issue by some cunning trick! For it's: Talmer, hurry, hurry! Can't you see it's up to you? Speak vaguely of the wherefore and the why, Or mention things the Congress ought to have the grace to do, And then permit the argument to die." So crowded are hotel conditions in New York that the New York Hotel association is sending out a country wide appeal for all prospective visitors to wire ahead for reservations.

What that felt did for his hands dees for this our atmosphere planet. Washington in the American oenes. The New York World notes that Lodge in that work, criticising the action of President Washington in sending Monroe on a mission to France after the recall of Gouverneur Morris says: "No administration bright ever to select for a foreign mission, especially at a critical mom-lent, any one outside the ranks of its own supporters." President Wilson named one Republican who had been entrusted The Italian poet D'Annunzio is having the exciting time 'that a poet craves. The Allies and America refused to let the Italians have Flume, although the city, inhabited by Italians, properly belongs to Italy.

D'Annunzio takes an improvised army, seizes the city, and is there nqw, lord and master. The authorities will try to starve him out, but for a man like D'Annunzio starving would only be interesting. Several New York newspapers are offering recipes on how to make boose with a kick in the home. And one goes so far as to illustrate with posed photographs just how to make certain kinds of liquors for family consumption. Many of the recipes tell where to get the ingredients and how to make the still and then show 'pictures of the still in operation.

working at night in the fashionable Park avenue section heard a swiftly humming motor. A car came around the corner on two wheels. A chauffeur sternly holding the wheel defied death and tho police. There was a piercing feminine scream. Two swaying figures in th tonneau.

A crash of glass. And, flying out of the window, came a rope of pearls at the white-wing's feet. Only a tail-light gleaming in red in the night gave the faintest clue. What mad movie could beat such midnight melodrama? There is a little sawdust eatery' on Seventh avenue, where the white-wings hang out. It is called Alex's place.

Alex himself was once a mani-curer of asphalted streets, but time and rheumatism took him off the highways and put him back of the restaurant counter. His cronies patronize him and he has waxed opulent. One of Alex's patrons is Old Harold. A queer bird is Harold. And a right queer name for his occupation, too.

He is an Englishman of the comic paper type with the walrus mustache, the drawl and the lackadaisical manner and the cockny swagger. He at times speaks of an estate in England. No one knows his last name. There is much romance among the street sweepers if one will ferret it out. (P "We live in a rapidly mar-velously balanced, hothouse arrangement.

Thus between intense heat and intense cold we live nicely warmed on a ball turning around a thousand mile? an hour, going around the sun at a speed much greater than a million miles a day. If our atmosphere were swept away, we should freeze to death in a second. If the solid ground vanished, we should melt like snow flakes landing on a red-hot stove.

Question for Americans: If the Peace League were signed and in full working order, would American soldiers be shot, attempting to take Flume and throw out the Italian poet? And if the United States were obliged to supply men for every poetic outburst, revolution, Bolshevist explosion and "respectable commercial grab" in Europe how would the country attend to its own business? Why will they come, demanding this or that? Can't they see that they are causing consternation to fn crease By teasing the Administration cat? So, it's: "Palmer, hurry, hurry!

Everybody who thinks realizes that if President Wilson had placed two active Republican politician? on the peace commission the partisan play now occurring in Washington would have had its first display in Paris with the consequence of unutterable conflict and confusion, delay and disaster. Ai San Diego yesterday President Wilson quoted a magazine article written in 1914 by Theodore RooseVelt and, quoting Senator Lodge's views in other days, declared that "in framing the league covenant the Versailles conference had followed the advice of these and other Republicans." The idea of a league of nations is upheld by the present stand of 'William H. Taft, the last Republican President, by the utterances of the last Republican President before him, and by the utterances of the leader of the Senate opposition when he was speaking of a grand vision and before the opportunity to make the vision a reality put yesterday afternoon that "all British troops are withdrawn from Russia."

Gen.

"With the league of nations American boys will not police the world or any part of it except at the order of the President and Congress and with the consent of the American people whom they represent. Without a league of nations American boys will police the world if the President and Congress, acting for the American people, with their consent and by.

their will, so order. American, boys policed the world before the league of nations was framed. They will do it again or not do it as they receive orders from the government. The league of nations invests no new power with authority to set American boys to policing the world. They will remain subject to the same authority at whose command they 'did one good job and under no other authority.

In the words of President Wilson "the right of Congress to" determine such matters is in no wise impaired." "Policing the world" is a matter which remains the same, with Or without a league of nations, subject exclusively to the control of the American government. Italy keeps a national holiday today in celebration of the entry of Garibaldi's troops into Rome in 1870. Gen. Byron Root Pierce of Grand Rapids, one of the few surviving general officers of the Union is ninety years old today. President Wilson, in his tour of the west, is scheduled to speak in Los Angeles today and will remain in the city over Sunday.

The Prince of Wales and his party, en route across Canada to the Pacific coast, are scheduled to spend the greater part of today at Revelstoke. Senator Johnson of California, whp is making a speaking tour in opposition to the league of nattons, is to be heard this afternoon and evening in Minneapolis and St. Paul. Imposing ceremonies are to accompany the unveiling of a monument in the city of Quebec today in honor of Sir George Etienne Cartier, the cele OLD MODEL FOR A NEW OUTBURST. Chancellor Day's opinion of Woodrow Wilson seems to be Chancellor Day's opinion of Theodore Roosevelt.

So spreading a feast may be added to the list of measures for halting enemy advances. THE MARKET FOR OIIl NEVER in the history of oil production has there been such activity in that direction as there is today and the millions of dollars that change hands every day would make the Klondike rush or the days of '49 when gold was found in California look small in comparison. There is a reason for this and that is that although the production of oil is greater than ever before, the supply does notk appear to keep pace with the demand. In today's papers there is an article which says that Great Britain alone takes 50 per cent of the fuel oil production of this country, along with 35'jper cent, of the gasoline and 24 per cent of the kerosene. In 1913 Great Britain took 10,000,000 barrels of oil from this country.

Last year 30,000,000 were imported, and this year the importation will be still greater. When one realizes that Great Britain is only one country to which our oil is shipped, the reason why the supply does not keep up with the demand is apparent. Fortunes are being made in oil today and fortunes are being lost through poor investments. New fields are being opened in various sections and the leasing of acreage where prospects look favorable goes without interruption. Refineries are converting the raw petroleum various other commodities and it is because of the many uses to fhich petroleum is put that the price paid for the raw product keeps advancing in price.

There will alwavs be a heavy demand for oil and now is the time for prospectors to scout the earth for production. 7 A PROSPECT.

Just now the pre-war films are displayed, but when the American films begin to seep in the craze will have reached its amazing peak. The movie drama appeals to the Russian peasant who is a highly sensitized and perhaps the most imaginative of God's creatures.

Many cannot read or write so the movie is going to be a great force in shedding enlightenment in the dark country. But it is not alone the peasant who has become a movie fan the rich, the middle classes too are staying away from the ballets and the operas see the film flicker. It is said that the demand for new movies in the near Orient and in Russia is so he'avy that American manufacturers could not furnish them if every branch of the industry was immediately turned over to production for these countries and none other. Many business men are now planning to embark in the movies-rand of course that phase of it will be overdone, but when the commercial aspects simmer doM'n to a sensible basis this new field is going to prove a mighty lucrative market for American made films.

For the burned books the Bolshevists substituted pamphlets written by Pagany, the assassin of Count Tisza Lenine, Trotsky, Bela Kun, and others of the same sort. The substituted pamphlets seem to have ignored the fundamentals of education and dealt with Bolshevist principles of morality, industry and politics. Free love was one of the chief topics of juvenile education.

Equipping Hungarian youth to read and write, count and cipher, speak the language according to rule and know and respect roles of conduct seems to have been considered of little or no importance. Thej big thing was to guard youthful minds from eyry conception of virjtue, preserve them from every scruple and prepare them to accept all the temptations as their guides. Teaching Hungarian boys and girls tj rqad and write, count their wages and compute the grocery hfll could wait or be wholly neglected. Instilling reversed principles and rendering the rising generation shelpless by; ignorance is manifestly the only means by which a Bolshevist state can perpetuate itself.
