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!

than before the war. 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.

j gard to the French debt was ar--

elements which enter into the prob

■ but a genuine and sincere desire to

when France needed financial aid
most. He is emphatic in his belief

GEORGE MORCHER
By NEA Service
LONDON, Ohio. 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

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

story suggested by George Ade and

Now, mythical cities do very well
on paper, but the camera requires
something more substantial. So, af

was selected, and the entire produc

Director Victor Heerman, came

[ 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

for its orange groves, and served
admirably as a substitute for
