You Can’t Always Trade On Looks Women Must Learn to Develop Other Qualities The once-beautiful woman who hates and tears the age signs that her mirror is beginning to reflect can do a lot tor herself. Not by feverishly applying lo- tions and creams and henna rinses. The things she can do tor herself have nothing to do with her fading beautyâ€"except indirectly. She might say ; to herself, ‘‘Look here, now. You’ve had beauty for thirty yearsâ€"and it did a great deal for you. It gave you a gay, happy, unworried girl-liood. It played its part in giving you the man you love, itâ€"in shortâ€"was your start. Something To Take Their Place “But there is a lot of life left to be lived. And beauty is going to play a smaller and smaller part in it. So you will have to find something to take its .place.” For, once she realizes that beau- ty is a quality that can be traded on only for a few years, a sensible woman starts in, if she .has neglect- ed it before, to. build some other . attractive quality that will be more lasting than prettiness. Charm Of Maturity She will make herself compani- onable, so that she can hold the people her beauty attracted. She will learn how to keep the hours when she is alone, from be- ing lonely hours. She will learn to admire, instead of sitting back waiting to be admir- ed. She will find some work or cause that she believes is strong enough to work forâ€"something bigger than she is. And instead of growing hard and cold and bitter from fear and dis- content, she will gain a loveliness that has nothing to do with youth- ful beautyâ€"but is the special Charm of a happy, mature woman. Women Request Equal Portions They Resent Small Helpings At Meals, Claiming they Should Get As Much As Men Striking at fundamentals, wom- en attending the Cambridge (Eng- land) Equality of Rights Confer- ence, spoke their wrathiest speech- es on not being given equal help- ings of food with men in restaur- ants and dining cars. Mrs. Elizabeth Abbott, British delegate, raised a forceful pro- test and punctuated her thesis with personal experiences. Pay Same Price “In many eating houses, women are given smaller food portions while paying the same price as men,” she said. “Women eat very little less than men, yet the poor- er woman is paying for the richer man’s portion of food or the com- panies pursuing this policy are liv- ing on stolen profits.” Though an extensive canvass of West End (London) hotels drew a" flat denial of the change and officials of the four great railway companies emphatically stated that it was impossible for dining car chefs to know whether I they were serving men or women, two of nine head waiters admitted that slightly smaller portions were served to women. “Man Sized” Platefuls “As a rule they leave food on the plate if they are given a “man- sized portion,” said one. “Wom- en would be outraged in their, sen- sibilities if given a big plate of ham and eggs. Also, it would be waste. But a woman can always have a second egg if she desires it.” The women at the conference took the matter seriously enough to pass a resolution demanding that all dietetic tables should re- quire the same amount of food for ,» woman as for a man. Jacket Costume For Any' Daytime Event The distinctive simplicity of a gracefully tailored jacket costume makes it charmingly adaptable to any daytime occasion throughout the autumn. Of smooth sheet, in pale maize, the suede dress is cut? on slender lines with a slightly flared hemline, and the smart bol- ero jacket is just short enough to show off the gay, Romanrstriped faille sash. It's shown with a navy cartwheel and navy pumps to match one of the colors in the rash. The Goose WOman by REX BEACH Synopsis Amos Ethridge is found mur- dered in a country lane with a crude cross of twigs on his breast and a scented sheet of note paper in his pocket. He was the richest man in the state with power and influence enough to make himself a candidate for Governor. With his death came hints of an unsav- ory private life, of wronged wom- en and betrayed husbands and fathers who had reason to wish him dead. There was also a pow- erful secret political organization opposed CO him. . . . Mary Holmes, called “the goose woman” by newspaper reporters, lives nearest the scene of the crime on a small chicken farm. . . . Gerald Holmes, her talented young artist son, has been befriended by the murdered Ethridge. CHAPTER III The mystery of the murder, by the way, still remained unsolved. The clues left by the -slayer; of Amos Ethridge were so slender that no progress had been made in piecing them together, and, nat- urally, theories of various sorts began to be advanced. Several of the Chicago papers declared that the cross of twigs on the dead man’s breast proved it . to be a Klan outrage, and this explanation was generally accepted, for West- Active Youngsters NeeJ Sturdy Play Togs By Louise Lennox Little sister and big brother will be up bright and early to put on these cunning bib-front work- man-like overalls.

What is more, an impressive dem- onstration had recently occurred here. There had been a parade and a midnight conclave at which scores of new members had been initiated. Special trains had been run from distant points, hundreds • of automobiles had assembled, thousands of robed men had gath- ered in the light of a tremendous fiery cross erected on a hill, just outside the city limits. Out of this occurrence had sprung a bitter political quarrel, for Amos Ethridge had boldly pro- claimed through the press that the Governor was an avowed mem- ber and that the conclave had been planned with, his knowledge and consent, Ethridge had gone further; he had charged that the entire machinery of law enforce- ment had been betrayed, deliv- ered over to the Invisible Empire. He had promised to adduce irre- futable evidence, proof positive, when the time came. His accusa- tions had met with a tremendous popular response and, as a mat- ter of fact, it was largely as a re- sult of this outspoken support that he announced his intention to run , for Governor at the coming' election, pledging himself, if suc- cessful, to wage relentless war upon the hooded order and to re- store -the government to the peo- ple. Hissing of Scandal Threats against life had follow- ed. He had received warnings forecasting much the same end as had actually overtaken him. His murder upon the very eve of the campaign convinced most people that the charges voiced by the Chi- cago newspapers were indeed sound. But those charges were not so readily accepted by the citizens of Westland. Amos Ethridge had been a great man locally and during his lifetime his power had been such that few of his neigh- bors dared speak a word against him, but, now that he was dead, tongues began to wag. From var- ious quarters’ there arose a hissing of scandal. People voiced openly what they had never ventured to more than whisper-â€"viz., that Eth- ridge’s private life had not been above reproach, that there were chapters in it which would not bear the light of day, and that the authorities would have to look further than the secret order in order to find his slayer. What about that “Thursday” note that had, been found in his pocket? , There was more than one husband or lover, yes, even more than one father, in Westland who smarted under a sense of outrage and who had reason to thank God the millionaire was dead. Let the po- lice discover what woman’s fin- gers had penned that note, then perhaps .the mystery could be solved. It was even whispered that out of the solving there might re- sult a scandal more painful to the community than its present sense of loss, and that under the cir- cumstances it might be the part of wisdom to let sleeping dogs lie. Such came to be the general feel- ing in Westland. As the days crept by and no ar- rests were made, certain citizens began to nod and to speak'guard- edly of “influence”. The out-of- town correspondents heard ’ these whispers and promptly wired them in. As a result a special prosecu- tor was appointed by the state and he came on to take charge of the investigation. .Loose Connection On Thursday evening, a week after the crime, Gerald Holmes drove his new car out the road to- wards his mother’s farm. It was early, nevertheless it was quite dark. As he crossed the bridge at the Italian settlement he noticed that his right headlight , suddenly went out, just as it had gone out a week previously at this pre'eise point. Tonight he did what he REMEMBER .... to get youf copy of this week’s Toronto Star Weekly while in town. had done on that other occasion, he stopped, got out, and went around to the front of the car to investigate. Gerald did not pre- tend to much knowledge of auto- mobiles, but this coincidence, it seemed to him, proved precisely what he had told the dealer; to wit, there was a loose electric connection somewhere and a cer- tain sort of jar destroyed the con- tact, dislocating something or oth- er. The dealer had promised to have it fixed butâ€"well, this was a sample of his work. Fine way to turn out a brand new car, even a cheap one ! Gerald shook the lamp gently, but it appeared to be rigidly at- tached to its, support and the bulb did not relight. He was afraid to shake it too hard, for fear of pull- ing it offâ€"this was .no rugged, hand-made, foreign car. Then he fingered aimlessly at the wire be- neath the lamp, but that, too, was disappointingly secure. He rea- soned that the wire must run in under the hood of the machine and somewhere attach itself to a battery or a dynamo or a gener- ator or something', so he stepped back, lifted the bonnet, and peer- ed inside. He could make out very little indeed, even with the aid of a match, and recognized nothing that could by any possi- bility be considered a dynamo or an electric lighting plant. The vital organs of an automobile, it seemed to him, were unnecessarily complicated; he would have con- sidered many of them utterly use- less except for the fact that here and there “things” were revolv- ing'. He quickly discovered sev- eral wires, any one of which might be the cause of his trouble, so, striking a second, then a third match, he gingerly tested them. He had not gone far 'when he ut- tered a grunt and jerked his hand away, incidentally bumping his el- bow against something sharp and hard. Automobiles are full of painful corners. He dropped the match and swore, whereupon he heard subdued laughter and through the gloom discovered a couple of figures near by. She Didn’t Understand “Do you fellows know anything about automobiles?” he inquired. There came an answer in Ital- ian, so he confessed, ruefully: “Well, neither do I. I can drive ’em, but I can’t fix ’em.” ' He closed the bonnet, passed back through the glare of his good headlight, and, stepping into the car, drove on. It was a relief to note that the car ran as well with one light as with two. Some car! This little buggy might have her faults, but he loved her, just the same. It was the first automobile he had ever possessed and his pride of ownership was inordinate, for it represented a terrible ex- travagance. It was a lovely shade of blue, too, the particular shade he adored, and he would have im- mensely enjoyed showing it to his mother. That, however, was im- possible. He could never make her understand. Involuntarily, he fetched a deep sigh and shook his head. (CONTINUED NEXT ISSUE) How to Remove Grit From Eye Try Inserting Soaked Flax Seed Under the Lid Ever had grit’in your eye? Well, there is a man who. specializes in removing obstacles from the eye. He is Dr. Joseph Minton, who states that of the 10,000 eye-injur- ies suffered by industrial workers, $0 per cent, are preventable. He was resident surgeon of the Royal Eye Hospital, London, England, in 1936 and is now pressing unions and workmen to take action to safeguard their sight. And talking of grit, another Doc- tor, J. F. McKenna, trainer of the Canadian Ice Hockey team, always carries about a few flax seeds in an envelope. If a person gets a tiny bit of steel or grit in an eye, he soaks a couple of flax seeds in water for a few minutes and inserts them under the eyelid. Then he advises the patient to lie down foi- ls minutes, and at the end of that time the flax seeds swell and work their way to one corner of the eye, taking the grit with them. Unless the particle is actually embedded in the eye, this method invariably suo ceeds.; Cardiff, Wales, now holds the record among British cities for big families, there being six: cou- ples with 20 or more children .and more than, 20 having between 15 and 20. Silk Stockings ' Comparatively New Departure As Short A Time Ago As 1300, Only One in 2.009 Women Wore Them Research shows that in 1900, â- only one of every 2,000 women on this continent Wore silk hose. They paid from $5 to $25 a pair for them. (No wonder so many didn’t wear them.) Today manufacturers re- port that most women in the Unit- ed States and Canada buy approxi- mately 20 pairs of silk stockings annually, paying from 50 cents to $1.95 a pair foi* them. This includes you who are reading this curled up comfortably on the chesterfield! Sheerness Favored Today Then again, in the early 1900’s, it was fashionable to wear a stock- ing made up , of silk to the kn.ee. From the knee to the garter line, cotton, was used, but statistics do not show whether this was by rea- son of the manufacturers trying to be fair to both the silk worm and the boll weevil. The heavier the silk, the more expensive the stock- ing. Today, it is exactly the re- verse, we are told. Sheerness is indicative of quality. Some Strange Customs In colonial times, did you know the well-dressed woman decorated her knitted silk hosiery with fresh roses every day . . . hosiery made from the skin of unborn palv.es was very popular in France during the reign of Louis XVI. In Sumatra, the women always re- move their stockings at meal times, but sleep with them on., You’d al- most think they ate with their feet. Superstitious maidens of Scot- land believe that placing a yellow knitted stocking under the pillow on which they sleep helps them to find a husband. Now you know what to do. Secret of Harem May Bring Gold To Italy â€" Legend Says Trea- sure Lies in the Atlas Mount- ains of Africa Follow the Slave Girl’s Chart A slave girl’s secret chart giving the clue to a reputed gtore-house of gold and precious stones high in the mountains of Morocco may bring to Mussolini the wealth that Italy sorely needs. Muleÿ Abdul Aziz who ruled the country of Morocco as ' its Sultan until he abdicated thirty years ago is now in Rome:, and it is whisper- ed that he took the secret of the treasure with him. In the Atlas Mountains fringing the hinterland of Morocco is an brea known for centuries to the tribesmen as the “Mountains of the Moon.” “Mountains of the Moon’ Native legend says gold, dia- monds and rubies lie there. Lone prospectors have tried for years to find the seam. All failed, except bile. It was from his mother that Ab- dul Aziz heard the story of the Seeker who found wealth but did not live to profit by it. On A Piece of Sheepskin The man who stumblëd on. “the richest vein of gold in the world” was killed by tribesmen, but a few members of the Moroccan Court knew where he had prospected and it was from one of these courtiers that the mother of Abdul Aziz had learned the details. She passed them on to Abdul with a chart drawn on a piece of sheepskin. And it is believed that Abdul, af- ter thirty years without a throne, is prepared to barter in Rome all that he â-  knows â- â- "about what may prove to be a golden storehouse beyond Mussolini’s dreams.
