DILL’S HEADLIGHT OEDEE

Now that July 1 has come and gone and Commissioner Dill's new headlights on automobiles are in use. we tee a great difference in regard tc glaring headlights on the road at night, do we not?

Yes. we do not.

They glare Just aa much aa they did before July 1. No naked eye can distinguish between headlights that have been approved and headlights that have not been approved. Life Insurance rates have not been lowered by the new law nor will they. Glaring headlights are the same menace now that they wen fore the order went into effect. Hare you taken note. also, that there have been no arrests for violation of the new order regarding * lights? Isn't It strange that Dill'a inspectors haven't pinched anybody? Does this mean that everybody has obeyed the order? Hardly. Automoblllsts never wholly obey any

order.

In this case, the decent automobll1st took Dill at his word and dug Into his Jeans for the price of new headlights. Decent automoblllsU always aim to follow Instructions. It coats a man considerable money to be decent. Then there are some who make no effort to obey the automobile law. This claue ought to be forced to do so. When they are not forced it is a discrimination again the decent fellow. It rather encouragea and in-

POPULAEITY OF THE WEEKLY

Thoee who think the weekly newspaper U a thing of the pas. should read an Item In the Philadelphia Ledger. It shows that the weekly newspaper la rapidly growing »n favor in the groat city of New York. One man who started such an enterprise said that at the outset he was willing to accept almost anything from a postage stamp to a box of talcum powder for advertising, but now he chargee fl.*» an Inch and gets H. In many eections of the city of New York and In the outlying districts of large population the weekly paper is gaining in popular-

One man. in commenting on It,

said: "I take it because you print my name." That explains a lot. The dally paper will not be pushed aside. The world's news must be distributed but the neighborhood budget can be gained only through the medium of the weekly sheet. Marriages, deaths, the movement of residents, u hundred apparently unimportant Itema are ] chronicled In the weekly whoee visit Is eagerly looked forward to. And

la a heap of work connected

with the Issue of a weekly newspaper. One edition is no sooner oO the prove than preparation must be made for the next. Another point to be remembered la that your weekly paper fights your neighborhood battles while the city daily lends Its aid orJy to those things which concern the country at large. The dally will live; so will the weakly, and nil credit should be given to those who try tr make the 'alter a source of

information and enjoyment.

WASH CLOTH TO TAKE PLACE OF PtlWDEE FUFF We read In one of the large city dallies that the next popular fad of the fair sex will be the substitution of the wash cloth for the powder puff and rouge. Now thU Is a good Idea, but though we hope to enjoy ‘his mortal sphere a few more years, we do not expect to see the thing work out. There are several reasons why such radical departure from a popular custom is not practical, chiefly among vhlfh are the activities of the manufactarors and vendors of eoemeUea. Then again, the men folk would object to the change. They have becomt accustomed to seeing the brickrod and daubs of white on the faces of their lady-folk, and would seriously object to the absence of these aids (?) to beauty. UTrat is prettier than two dark-rod cheeks, separated by a streak of lilywhite. where the nose should be, and perhaps aided by a black patch neatly placed on the right cheek-bone; and the combination neatly set off by a narrow band of black where the eye-brows normally are. and a beautifully arched maroon decoration on

the llpe.

Truly It would be a ahame to spoil such s work of art with the wash

cloth!

There are no old women any more. Twenty or thirty years ago women ted old at forty years of age an 4 many of them went around with little old-fashioned caps and shnwls and other Isdicalions of age. Nowadays you seldom see a woman who appear* to be old. for with modem make-up appliances and praaent-day doctoring methods In many cases the aprlghi Beet females are the older ones li stead of the younger one. You can no longer Judge a woman’s age by her appearance r acr actions. To prove tfe<< one need only r ad the newapaf-^rs to learn that women well past middle -age are graduating from colleges with their own children. la this the women of the, nation are setting an example that the men would do well to follow.
