PAGE EIGHT Miss America Writes On Beauty By MISS AMERICA I feel so grateful to the world for the honor of being selected as ‘Miss America,’ that I want very much to express my appreciation. And I would love to tell my beauty secrets, as I have been re quested to do, and to broadcast them to the whole wide world—if I could. But here’s my humble confes sion—l haven’t any beauty secrets. But then I’ll make another confes sion ,1 believe no one has any. I be lieve there is no such, a thing as a, beauty secret. I believe every fact! about beauty is open for all to read ' I believe there never was a secret I about beauty. To be sure, Cleo patra -called upon the scientists of I her day to compound lotions to pre- I serve her beauty and the beauties [ of the French court guarded their I creams more closely than they did j their reputations. But we have no evidence to sup port the claim that any of these so-called secrets ever amounted to anything. The world is ful lof lo tions, cheap and costly, but it isn’t full of beauty. I have certain theories about beauty, based upon my observations and my experience, which aren’t' particularly original, but which I-am ' plad to explain. But there is noth-I ing secret about them, or nothing 1 any girl today doesn’t believe and practice if she really wants to he beautiful. Most of us would rather think beauty as something that is the re sult of a secret magic rather than a natural result of natural living. It takes the. responsibility away from □s to believe beauty is mysterious. But we all know it isn’t. I believe in the grand-ont-of doors as the giver of all good and PPrfect figures and complexion. That’s my first credo. And here I would like to arise and salute mv native state—California. Bear with me. I shall try to contain my pa triotism. I won’t say we have bet ter air and better out-of-doors in' California than you do in the east, but I do believe we make better! nse of what we have our W HnT eS^ rn ffir,S * pPnd ™' b of our 'me hiking, tramping, fishing ' ™mmg. , ayinp tcnn . g and ug. g out m the open.

Her ex ports are greater than in 1914, and j mark you, there is no unemploy ' ment in France. 1 “While Francs’ fiscal system is in a deplorable condition, it is large ! !y the result of inflation caused by 1 printing paper francs and the re fusal of the French to tax them selves to meetselves to meet their 'selves to meet their budget. How jever, this is nothing new for | France. For years her expenditures j [have exceeded her income. She con- j 1 tinues to maintain an army of a | I million men and in other ways re-i fuses to cut her expenses to meet I iher income. 1 “The settlement France made[ I with England in my judgment, will , not be considered by the Ameri 'can commission in its conference [with the Frenche government’s i representatives, England has ab solutely no concern in our set tlement with France. “As for as I am concerned as a member of the debt commission and a member of Congress, I will not agree to any settlement on this vast | indebtedness, except a payment in full of principal, togethher with a reasonable interest thereon. If i Frances present condition is such j 1 that she can not make payment at once, I may agree to a reasonable ' moratorium. “The United States holds the le- I gal and the moral obligation of ! France for the amount due. and (the taxpayers of the United States ! are today beeing taxed to pay inter est in the bonds sold by us to raies the money which we loaned i France. Our taxpayers are now [entitled to have this loan refunded | by France so that the taxes of our 'people may he reduced. I “I note with great satisfaction ' the French Commission, now en route to the United States, is being quoted in the press as saying, that they will make a reasonable offer of settlement, and are willing to ’ commence payment at once. This is most gratifying and I trust that . a settlement will be made speedily —a settlement that will reflect - credit on both governments.’ said - the Georgia Congressman. Judge Crisp’s decision with re j gard to the French debt was ar-- (Miss Fay Lanphier ) j rived at only after the most care . I ful and painstaking study of all the elements which enter into the prob -1 lem. There is neither bias nor bit • terness on his part, it was evident ■ form his talk with the reporter. ■ but a genuine and sincere desire to . see that justice is done the Ameri- I can taxpayer who gave so liberally when France needed financial aid most. He is emphatic in his belief II that the French are financially able jto meet their obligations and that j the American people want nothing 1 more nor less than a square deal I from a country which- they admire | and love. j NEWLYWEDS ROB 56 TAXI MEN IN A YEAR CHICAGO, Sept. 22.—With a pair of pliers and a shiny knife, pretty 18-yaer-old Elizabeth Bur 'nett and her husband, Lloyd, 21 have robbed 56 taxicab drivers since their marriage day, less than a year ago.

Clothier, manager of the depart ment, said that 1,800 umbrellas left on the street cars in one day testi- I tified to this. A rainy morning will find many street car patrons carrying umbrel las. Sunshine in the afternoon means a busy time for employes of the department, for hundreds of the workers and shoppers get off the street cars leaving their umbrellas still beside the seats they occupied. An aggregate of 13,371 miscel laneous articles were turned in to the department during the first six months of 1925. Money found loose and in pocketbooks totaled $3,883,57, of which $1,282.18 was returned to the owners. CLASSIFIED RATES ! < ( This size type, first in- { ? sertion. 2c per word.

Sept. 23.—1 f the time ever comes when the people bf this old world are so perfect that all the reformers will be out of em ployment. there is another world for them to conquer. The fish realm has failed to keep pace with the moral progress of civilization, says George Morcher, superintendent of Ohio state fish i hatcheries, who for more than 28 years has studied all kinds of fish, j As a result, all kinds of scandal ■ still exists under the water. I Polyarny is rampant and many fish delight in being cannibals. Take the catfish, for instance. ! The female often has at least two .“husbands”. But polygamy is not confined to jthe female. In as as many cases, (the male will have two or more “wives.” I But in nearly all parts of the fish [world it is the male that is the nurse maid. For after the female lays the eggs, she starts out on a ■ gay social life and leaves the “old man” at home to watch the hatch ing process. The number of fish in American .streams would be much larger if it were not for the cannibals, says Morcher. Many fish like to eat all the baby fish they can find, and for that reason streams can be stocked J more rapidly through hatcheries i where the rapacious appetites of the 'cannibals can be checked j Only one form of cannibalism is allowed in the hatcheries. Tiny goldfish which breed very rapidly are fed to the young black bass The lapjb crop in the United ! States this year exceeded that of ilast year by 5.5 per cent.

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 23, 1925 £ T‘tiE7' I j j y~\ i hri ( ’ OLD HOME WEEK” MEIGHAN FILM, MAKES OCALA j FLORIDA, FAMOUS The beautiful little city of Ocala 1 two hundred miles north of Mi.uni, Florida, recently underwent a com plete transformation, emerging is' “Clarksville,” a typical mid-western town! The transformation lasted only three weeks, however and inasmuch as there is no real Clarks ville” no serious damage was done. | It all happened during the film ' ing of “Old Home Week,” Thomas Meighan’s latest Paramount pic ture, which makes its local bow at Dudley’s Today and Thursday. The | screen play is based on an original story suggested by George Ade and is told against the background of i ■ w ■ IJ y :/ j • zW i “ THOMAS MEIGHAN p ’N THE PARAMOUNT PICTURE ’OLD HOME WEEK’ | che mythical small town of “Clarits ville.” Now, mythical cities do very well on paper, but the camera requires something more substantial. So, af ter scouring Florida for hundreds [of miles around, the city of Ocala was selected, and the entire produc tion unit, headed by the star and Director Victor Heerman, came ( down from New York and spent [ approximately three weeks there making the exterior scenes. I Although Florida is a favorite lo cation center for picture companies [working in the east, Ocala, has the unique distinction of never having served before as a background for motion picture action. It is a pic turesque agricultural town, famous for its orange groves, and served admirably as a substitute for I “Clarksville.” i Lila Lee, who has the leading fem inine role in the photoplay, Law rence Wheat, Charles Dow Clark, Max Figman and Charles Sellon, members of the supporting cast,, were among the prominent Para mount players included in the party which visited Ocala. A feature of the trip was a mam moth Old Home Week celebration staged in Ocala especially for this Paramount picture.
