But the French woman is more i beautiful from neck to hips than j : her American rival. i Mi.-s Rubens, during the stay of ■ the Cosmospolitan company m Par- : i 5 while filming scenes for this lat- ! !<■. L Ibanez film, gave constant study ' ito the feminine types about her. Sic vhited the famous cases, the play-pine cs. of note and met many ; of the fine French people of Taris. 'She observed them all with that ■ concentration and appraisal that a beautiful woman gives other wo men who are quoted as distinguish .ed in any way. And she drew con ; elusions. j According to Misd Rubens, the French women are gorgeously sr.iart and possessed of wonderful I bodies from the shoulders to the > hips. ' The body lines surpass the pame lines in our native feiriininity and right here Miss Rubens cites the i reason. Our girls have a modest little habit of binding in their tor sos, fastening, pulling, pinning,— i until thair figures attain that ■ straight up and down look of boys. .It is a fashion suited to the .popular I sport clotb.es of the flapper. It is 1 a figure that furnished a flat, non skid surface for the draping of the sprightly sport scarf. But—with ' maturity, it is also responsible for womanhood’s too frequently lacking > the most beautiful curves of the feminine figure. It is this partic ular difference between American and French figures that is the rub when an American steps into a French frock, according to Miss | Rubens. It is like encasing I the vigorous boy of the house in GrowStuff*] t-’ . ■ ji ■- gfl Baby chicks need the right stuff to a H make them grow, just as much as —J human babies need it.

Nothing subdues fiery skin eruptions so quickly, says a noted skin specialist. The moment this sulphur preparation is applied the itching stops and after two or three applications, the eczema is gone and the skin is delightfully clear and smooth. Sulphur is so precious as a skin remedy because it destroys the parasites that cause the burning, itch : ing or disfigurement. Mentho-Sulphur i always heals eczema right up. A small jar of Rowles Mentho-Sul phur may be bad at any good drug store. 9 DOGWOOD WEES ARE BEING RAPIDLY KILLED MACON, April 1 s.—Dogwood trees are threatened with extinction in thd vicinity of Macon because of automobilists who drive into the country and destroy the trees for their blossoms, it was reported here, when hundreds of Macon people, at tracted by the ideal weather prevail ing during the week-end, motored into the rural districts to gather the attractive blooms.
