Today One Year Already. Limits to a Dog's TaiL Three Cheers for Eric Nelson. By ARTHUR BRISBANE V__' How quickly time passes, for those beyond the borderland of childhood. Remind any man of BO that Coolidge finished his first year as president last Saturday and he will say, “impossible.” It seems only yesterday that Harding died. But much water has gone over the dam since that death, and much oil, too. Prof. Henry P. Fairchild, worry ing about the earth’s future popu lation, says with that population increasing as it did before the war this country, at the end of this cen tury, would have one-third more population than China, and one fourth less land. In 10,000 years, says he, ther* would not be standing room in America That population worry, used to promote birth control, and excuse the drowning of girl babies in Oriental countries, is much exag gerated. If a puppy’s tail con tinued to grow all its life as rap idly as it grows in the first thre-5 ,, months, an old dog would have ■» tail 10 yards long. But, as Henry George remarked long ago, the tail stops growing at the right time. “The Lord arranges it so that trees shall not grow into the heavens.” News of a great victory in war could not have been more gratify ing than Eric Nelson’s safe arrival in Iceland. “Lost in the fog” when the other American fliers turned back, was the story of Nelson on Saturday. But that young flyer is not named Eric for nothing. _ Not lost in the fog at all, but diving under and going through the fog, continuing his appointed journey around the world and landing safe ly on Iceland’s soil, is his story. That’s enough to make old com posers of the sagas turn in their icy graves to look for writing ma terials. We have the fliers. If the government will kindly supply flying machines this country will be well prepared. Simple American souls read and talk about Europe and diplomacy, without understanding any of it. Lloyd George recalls the fact that all the prime ministers concerned lor.g ago accepted the Dawes plan. Germany accepted it, also, although here we are told that Germany’s acceptance is the remaining ques ..cm. The discussing is done to get American financiers and the Amer ican people committed to their part of the program, which is supply the money. Nobody took the trouble to inform our State department that the whole thing was arranged. That was an unnecessary formal ity. _ The whole plan hangs on Ameri £ can gold, says Lloyd George. With o it that, the plan falls flat. We . n *e to supply the gold to start Ger lrany’s wheels revolving- From Cerman industry, fed by our money su'd raw materials, Germany will get money to pay France and Bel gium, and England, perhaps. Finance is very mysterious. It may be that even in the long run ; 1t will pay us to sell goods to Eu •. rope, to be paid for with our own , money. Distribution of money is <•' to business what distribution of water and fertilizer is to agricul ture. The Dawes plan will set "our great gold reserve in movement. *ome of ft will go to Europe. More will be scattered here, to pay for things that Europe needs. , No matter how it may affect us ir. \b“ long run, the cash distribu ' ! ticrn, ai-coaw anied, probably, by a T new flood of oris*- new federal re • serve bills, will star- up a posper I ity boom with us. Baruch says it \ will be such a’boom as to yake the war prosperity look sman. The A1) V KKTIN KM KC. T. ■ BLACKHEADS AND PIMPLES VANISH— MERCIREX HEALS New Scientific Treatment for All Disorders of the Skin Works Wonders for Exul ' tant User Mercirex Guaranteed to Heal ", . . Mercirex is the most suc cessful preparation I have ever used. It brings all forms of skin ,, blemishes from underneath tha ipter skin to the surface, and then •<iey disappear, as in my case ttt pimples and blackheads. I am al ways ready to recommend your • wonderful preparation.” Do you know why thousands of people who once suffered from eczema, pimples, blackheads, boils, sores, etc., are more than willing to recommend Mercirex to-day? Be cause Mercirex gets results—heals —relieves the most obstinate casea " —or you get your money back! You can have a clear complex ion—a healthy skin, if you will go to the nearest drug store—buy a jar of Mercirex and use it accord ing to directions. Not a patent medicine. Mercirex is not made by a patent-medicina • house. It is a professional prod uct, tested, approved and now pro scribed by many physicians. It is the carefully developed product of one of this country’s oldest scientific institutions. Not messy or greasy. Don’t, con fuse Mercirex with dark, greasy, surface ointments. Mercirex will not soil your linen, and will not advertise your trouble to others. It Is practically colorless with only a faint, delicate fragrance. Merci rex penetrates through the outside akin to the true skin, and there ^ acts on the nucleus of your trouble. Buy Mercirex at any drug store for 7S cents on a money-bark guar antee.

Del. w« alio recommend Mercirex Soap. thing* that Europe buys from us in the war were used by Europeans to blow each other to pieces. I Prepare for good times, with husinesa boooming, work plenty, wages high. There is no knowing how high the wages will go with immigration shut out, and Europfe’s population looking to us for sup plies. Boston's collector of the port Is told of a huge German submarine “flooding the Massachusetts coast with German beer and French wines.” The submarine presum ably takes on its load BO or 100 miles out, where bootlegging is no crime, and then brings in the mer chandise, below water. That saves' slow trips across the ocean. One submarine could keep several boot leg ships busy. It’s the latest in bootlegging and quite romantic. There is even com fort ia H. Since we must have bootlegjfTng from abroad, pray for shiys bringing German beer and French wine- In fact, some be lieved that we could have solved our whole drink problem by forbid ding whisky, and encouraging wine and beer. It is too late to discuss j'hat, however. We are eqlisted for prohibition and must give it a fair trial. ’ Pity the Russian people, kind, , generous, cheerful, however you may feel about bolshevism. One world war, two revolutions, [hideous civil war, epidemics of tyhpus and cholera, and horrible famine. All that was crowded into a few Russian years. And now comes a worse famine. The crop failure, drouth, black rust, etc., that have sent our wheat prices skyrocketing, have hit Rus sia with fearful force. Thousands will inevitably die of hunger. t Russia’s tragedy" helps you to understand how vast peoples have humbly submitted to rule by tyrants, as long as the tyrants fed the people. Ferrero, Italian historian, says Mussolini’s rule is a crumbling ruin. Mussolini does not look that way as he appears in photographs of the funeral of Garibaldi’s last surviving son. The Garibaldi gandsons marched in the red shirts, that their grandfather made famous when he established Italian unity. With them marched Mussolini, arms folded on his chest as he strode along, and in his face enough energy to supply a regiment. If he is a ruin, he does not know it. Copyright, 1924.

Business Clubs Show Rapid Increase Fifteen hundred delegates and visi tors attended the national meeting of the business women's clubs at West Baden. Ind., July 21 to 28, ac cording to Miss Anna Olsson, local president. Other Omaha members at tending were Misses Hulda Isaacson, Florence Hathaway and Mrs. Dora Alexander Talley. Compared with 200 who attended the first meeting in St. Louis in 1918, this shows a remark able growth. Delegates attended this year from 576 clubs, representing all the states nnd Hawaii. Among the resolutions adopted was one wherein the business and pro fessional women advocate the high est ethics in national, state and com munity affairs, and declare their ad herence to the strict enforcement of law, and pledge themselves not to treat with levity any infractions of any law. The legislative committee reported work during the year in co-opera tion with the women’s congressional committee at Washington, on the fol lowing bills: Child labor, Smith Hughes act: Sterling-Reed education al bill; permanent court of interna tional justice; uniform marriage and divorce laws. A scholarship fund in every club throughout the country is one of the aims of the national federation, such fund to be used in assisting girls to complete a high school education, be fore entering the business world, making effective the national slogan "Better Business Women for a Better Business World.” Tournaments in golf, tennis, bowl ing, horseback riding, swimming and hiking were features of the recrea tional and sports side of the conven tion. The re-election of Miss Adella Prich ard of Portland, Ore., as national president was unanimous, and at Its final session the executive board se lected Miss Emma Dot Partridge of Topeka, Kan., as executive secretary. Miss Ruth Rich of Jacksonville, Fla., was unanimously re-elected as editor of the official organ, The Indepen dent Woman. Invitations for the meeting of 1825 were received from Portland, Me., for 1926 from Iowa, for 1927 from Niaga ra Falls and for 1928 from Virginia. Portland, Me., will entertain the con vention in 1925. | Your Problems | What's the Reason? Dear Martha Allen: I am 21 and am In love with a young man. He has asked me to marry him, but wanta to wait four years. Do you think he really loves me? My mother objects to him. ALICE. What reasons has your mother for her objections? And what reason has the man for asking you to wait? You don't tell me enough to enable me to give you an Intelligent answer. If the man's reasons for wanting to wait are In order to give time to establish himself In business or pro vide a home for you, then I would •ay he certainly does care for you In the right way. If It Is because he Is somewhat Indifferent and Just wants to be engaged without undertaking the responsibility of marrying and caring for you in his own home, then I would discontinue the friendship and break the engagement at once. Mothers generally know what Is best for the girls. Perhaps your mother sees what you have not told me.

Adele Garrison “My Husband’s Love” Why Lillian First Astonished and Then Puzzled Madge. There was something so Impera tive In Mrs. Marks’ manner when she delivered Lilli/n's message to me. that I found myself moving as ewtftly in answer to it as she had done in her rush to her own apartment. -I found Lillian, all traces of fatigue gone, seated before the telephone. "No, no," she was saying. "I don't want one with a ooiffure, but one with two long braids. Negligee, hreakfast-ln-bed, that sort of thing. No. No, silky black, blue black! Have you one? Can you get one? Not tomorrow. Tonight—within an hour! If it’s in the city I want it. No. I’ll send for it. I won’t take any chances on it. All right. Telephone me the minute you find out." She hung up the receiver, and turned to me with the sparkle in her eyes and the slight flush on her cheek that always mark her enthu siastic entrance into some difficult piece of work. I am afraid I was guilty of an amazed stare, not only at her quick recevery from the state of almost collapse in which I had left her, but at the oddity of the request the Just had made over the telephone.

Do you know of any way to awaken that champanzee in the bedroom without her screeching lo affright at finding herself in strange surroundings?'’ Lillian Swiftly Hans. The question. "Why awaken Ma mie at all?” rose to my lips, but I instantly supressed it, although the thermometer of my curiosity was mounting to fever heat. But that Lillian had some imperative reason for her bizarre actions, I was cer tain, and I schooled my voice to a casual rejoinder: “Her mother probably pulls her out of bed by the hair and dumps her on the floor. So I don't think you need fear to shake her awake." "I'm not worrying over her pos sible hurt feelings,” Lillian retorted grimly, "but I don't want her letting out a yell. I hate to bother you, but—she's more used to you than to me, and seeing you when she opens her eyes might startle her less than if my phiz were bending over her.” "I’ll do my best," I said, starting for the bedroom. "What shall I tell her when I finally get her back to earth again?” -** "Tell her I’m coming in to talk to her,” Lillian declared. "Walt a minute. Have you an extra night dress you can give me now? If not, you’ll have to let me have your own.” "There's one in the dresser drawer in the bedroom," I answered. "Will you bring It to me, please, before you try your luck, with Ma mie?” "Snap Off the Lights” "Of course!" I went directly Into the bedroom and brought out the nightdress. As Lillian took it from me. she suddenly bent forward and kissed me, a rare caress with her, "You are the best old thing, Madge,” she said, "with never a questioning or bothering word out of you.” “What would happen to me If I were inquisitive when you 'have your nose to the ground,’ as Dickey puts it?” I Inquired with an amused laugh. "You’d probably be strung up by the thumbs,” she answered merrily, and as I went back into the bed room to try my luck at awakening Have You Attended the Orchard-Wilhelm Sale of Furniture, Draperies, Rugs and Housewares?
