Back To Nature Move ment Ih On. Philadelphia Public Ledger. The sunshine girl is the newest thing in beauty. Rouge, powder? Not a trace of it. L'p stick? Red 'ips, yes, but not the kind you buy in a drug store; she lets nature do the trick in stead. That a strong reaction has set in aganst present extremes of painting and powdering has just been sot forth by Siegfried Laichner, Berlin “king of rouge,” who ought to be the last man in the world to make such on admission. Leichner is one of the largest producers of cosmetics in the world, owning fourteen factories which produce fifteen carloads of paint and powder every day. Flat Prediction. Leichner'comes out flatly with the prediction that the make up pendulum is about to swing; that pendulum which hns swung so far to one ex treme that now one finds in us flav ored lip sticks, eye-lashes that, car- be put on and off. and five hundred or •n different shades of cheek color ing. Leichner draws his conclusions from expert figures, hut even the startling statement of this king of cosmetics might be doubted if it were not for the fact that other evidence to support hi3 prophecy seems to be presenting itself. Fashionable beauties who took the lead in making eight women out of ten turn their faces into pink and white calcimine effects have appeared at smart affairs, where they wish to look their b:st„ with their faces innocent of any make-up at all. A Casino Surprise. On the Riviera, that greet clearing house of whims for women, tit the height of the season just past, the famous French beauty, Mauebiue Ceres, surprised everyone by appear ing in the casino one day without a trace of rouge or powder on her face. Other women not averse to following a leader were soon courageously making their appearance in similar startling fashion and thus was an anti-paiht period started. Also, Irene Castle, who has been in turn Mrs. Vernon Cattle and Mrs. Robert Areniaino ,and now is Mrs. Frederick McLaughlin, launched the very same movement in America. Not so long ago she appeared in public with her face absolutely devoid of make-up of any kind. When asked why, she replied she did not believe any more in the use of rouge or lip stick. Everyone thought it was just a fad, but time and observation have brought out that this svelte young woman meant exactly what she said. Because Irene Castle was the insti gator of two of the most famous in stitutions ever to seise on the im agination of young America, her friends point out it must be admitted she is an excellent leader. It was she who first introduced to the United States the “Castle Clip,” later to be come the national institution that has swept the country as bobbed hair. It ' also Irens Castle who founded jazz dancing, for it was in the seeds of her prodigiously popular Castle steps that the present strutting craze first found its inception. No Need To "Buy Skins.” Leichner gives as one of his rea rms for believing women will soon be giving up what it has surely seemed the i- faces, the fact that they are they would never give up, ‘fixing’ now on the ascending way of “back ‘o nature movement." As a first indi cation, women have suddenly decided to look natural, instead of unnatural, and are calling for rouge of a man darin tendency, or one that most near ly resembles a person's own skin. But lie is not deceived by this, he admits, and does not mistake the share of demand as kotowing to a fad. He seems to feel this is only a strip toward the day when all women, as some fashionable leaders of them have already, will discover their own shin is exactly the same shade as that which they go to such lengths to buy. I here is no doubt that the young woman hood of the country is riding on the crest of a back-to-nature wave.

Adv AGIST CATHOLIC PRESIDENT IDEA Mr. Downs Recounts Some History in Regards to Catholic Religious Liberty and Calvert To the Editor: To use an expression that is famil iar to a great many in some parts, may I say, that when it comes to my writing for publication, “I deny the charge?” Not that there is anything out of place in so doing, but I am herewith breaking my silence on ac count of an item appearing some few issues age in The Star under the ti tle ‘‘Catholics’ Time for a President”, The author of the item asked for a review of past history for the pur no: e of keeping history clear and went back to the dav of Abraham’s call and drew the conclusion for all these mil lennia until the present that “relig ion or church has controlled all af fairs of state government." It is not j niy purpose to say aught of his con i elusion, but for one statement I wish ! to remind him that the Catholics of j Rome have never been religious-lib erty givers, for why did their influ ence in Brazil in the good year of 1881 permit their priests to incite the people there who were their follow ers to persecute Baptist missionaries, inflicting wounds that have produced scars for life? Though, I will say that religious liberty hasbeen granted in Brazil, but not until the government was changed to a republic. These same tolerant priests tell their people there that “a Protestant, Jew, Mason, devil and dog are all the same.” This is not what I set out to say primarily, but to question the venerable au thor’s statement, that the Catholics were the first to grant religious lib ertv in America under the leadership of the second Lord Baltimore or Ceci lius Calvet. In the first place let us hear what history has to say of the first Lord Baltimore, George Calvert, It tells us thta when he left New Foundland and came to the Jamestown settlement in Virginia he was only a | recent convert to Roman Catholicism with a convert’s zeal for proselyting which zeal made him antagonistic tc these colonists in both religion and politic*. Being a Catholic he was un ' willing to accept the terms of welcom* “to plant ar.d dwell” equally with th« HOMES BUILT FROM STOCK PLANS CAN HAVE INDIVIDUALITY AND STYLE Design 1944 M. L. KEITH • THE housing shortage which has been the after result of the let-up In building activities dur* Ing the war period has given rise to the solu tion of this problem in a quick an-i systematic way. Quantity production of designs for s'nr.!l homes has been accepted as the way best to meet this great need for housing facilities throughout the country. Because of this organized etYort It Is now possible for the man of moderate means to secure for a nom inal sum complete plans, specifications and details of homes which are quite as excellent in plan outline and detail of design as could he secured through the more costly method of engaging n high-priced archi tect. While the services of the architect can be used, the thoroughness with which these plans are worked out and the ease with which they nre read by tho home builder himself recommend them as a great sav ing in the building of the home. The need of this plan service to go with stock de tails and house plans was an obvious outgrowth of the Idea that many of the incises that were being built to meet the housing shortage were not in good taste. %A real need existed for a sendee scch ns tho American Home I’lan Bureau now renders to anyone requesting It. This Home I’lan Bureau Is an organiza tion having at its disposal tested plans of leading irehitects of the country arranged for your require ments by M. L. Keith. The complete plans, blueprints and specifications of the home shown here can be secured at a very nom inal cost from the American Home I’lan Bureau, to gether with all needed Instructions on building con tracts and purchase of materials. In the home pictured here, rough cast stucco panels combine with a heavy wood cornice and brick founda tion in a very pleasing fashion. Although ou perfect ly straight lines, It is decidedly out of the ordinary in appearance. The little open terrace at the front with gay flowers nlong the ledge, nnd the well de signed, hooded entrance, place It well within the line of artistic homes. The color note is amply supplied by the rich toned brick work of foundation. The Bureau is an organization having at its dis posal the tested plans of lending architects of the country, now arranged for your requirements by M. L. Keith, Architectural Supervisor of the Bureau and a recognized authority on home planning. It is prac tically a nonprofit-making public service having as Its purpose the furthering of the “Own Your Own Home" movement in the I’nlted States. Mr. M. L. Keith will answer questions and give ad vice free of cost on all subjects pertaining to plan nlng, building and construction of homes for the read ers of this paper. By reason of his forty years’ ex perlence as an Editor, Designer and Builder, Mr. Keitl is ranked as the highest authority on home planninj and construction. All Inquiries should be addressed to American Honn Plan Bureau, 220 S. State St., Chicago, I'.L Kiing-Gibson—House Plans No. 1—1924 vtfeoritie* of the colony ai they had been given them and consequently re turned to England, leaving behind, as a token that he was aiming to return to America his servants and ‘his lady’ 1 who, for the information of some, was not the lawful wife of this conscien tious and religious man. This first Lord Baltimore died be fore the charter for Maryland receiv- ‘ ed the seal of the British crown, but ' Cecilius Calvert, his son, a chip off the same old block, took up the business and quietly added to the company he first brought to Maryland two Jesuit 1 priests as they passed the Isle of 1 Wight. Now, what of the religious liberty given by him and why? He did not dare make any discrimination | against any religious body in England j for fear he would experience a sim ilar failure as his father had in New | Foundland and Virginia, for he was in ; this business to succeed by all means i religion or no religion. Nothing would have brought a speedier ruin to the enterprise he was promoting in Amer ica, and he knew it, than for it to be suspected that it was governed in the interest of the Roman Catholic chur h These words taken in their entirety from “English Colonization of | America,” page 258, seem to explain the whole principle underlying his system of religious liberty, that it was a mercenary one, and I suspect that the pope of Rome even today would be glad to grant religious lib erty under just such conditions for such a principle: “This seems to be the whole explanation of the curious paradox that the first experiment of religious liberty and equality before the law among all Christian sects should have been made apparently un der the auspices of that denomination which alone at the present day con tinues to maintain in theory that it is the duty of civil government to en force sound doctrine by pains and pen alties. We would not grudge the am plest recognition of Lord Baltimore’s faith or magnanimity or political wisdom; but we have failed to find evidence of his rising above the plane of the smart real-estate speculator, willing to be all things to all men, if so he might realize on his investment. Happily, he was clear-sighted enough to perceive that his own interest was involved in the liberty, contentment, I and prosperity of his colonists. “Mr. K. D. Neill, who nas excelled other writers in patient and exact study of the original sources of this part of the colonial history, character izes Cecelius, second Lord Baltimore, as 'one whole life was passed in self aggrandizement, first deserting Father White, then Charles I., and making friends of Puritans and re publicans to secure rentals of the pro vince of Maryland and never contri buting a penny for a church or school house’.” This has been written with no bear ing upon the proprietary or unpro priety as to what religious faith our next President may or should be, but simply to say the extent, manner, and fashion after which Lord Baltimore granted religious liberty in America is characteristic of the principles and edicts still of Rome, whose pope would be willing to make similar ac cessions today to accomplish a pur pose favorable to his power, because his principles and edicts of sovereign ty never change. Therefore, we do not need a man to sit at the head of our government whose supreme allegiance is to some foreign, earthly dignitary, regardless of party polity, for in its final analysis it means in practical substance the election of some un naturalized foreigner to occupy the highest gift within the power of the American people, and this our con stitution forbids, though he may be a naturalized citizen of our govern ment, a foreign born to be elected President.

H. It. Niswonger, exten sion horticulturist, working In this section finds that many home orchards tre rapidly disappearing while others planted for commercial purposes have so deteriorated that they hardly bear >nough fruit for the family table. Many of these orchards cease to hear fruit because of a lack of soil fertility, while others often bloom but the fruit falls before ripening because of in sects and diseases. A demonstration made on the farm r»f \V. W. Walker in Henderson county, shows a good margin of profit for the work done in his orchard. Thirty-five trees about twenty years of age made up of the Wlnesap, Stark. Ben Davis and (iravestein varieties were used In this demonstration. The orchard had tvceiyial-jseme—ntmrttffnTn tlie past, had been sprayed several times, but the other phases of orchard manage ment had been neglected. Last winter a complete program of orchard management was put on in tills orchard. The trees were pruned, sprayed, and fertilized according to the methods advocated by the horti cultural workers. The sod was plowed under and n dust mulch provided until early summer when the ground was sowed to soybeans, these turned under In the fall nnd the land put back to a winter cover of rye. Three trees of the 35 were used as checks and were not treated. From them only one-half of a peck of cull apples was received, while the re maining 32 trees produced 175 bushels of good marketable fruit that sold for nn average of $2.50 per bushel at the orchard. The financial record shows that the cost of the work was $45; the return from the apples was $437.50, leaving n net return to the owner of $392.50 ns payment for his attention. Had he not cared for these trees he would have made nothing, as shown by the three check trees. Safe Plan to Prune All Fruit Trees in Winter A snfe time to prune all plunts, es pecially fruit trees, Is in winter when life Is dormant. Comp ,e the work before the sap starts In spring. Finish pruning before applying dormant spray. Experienced fruit growers avoid toe much or too little pruning. They leave at least three or four times as many fruit spurs as they expect to bear, so as to allow for irregular fruit ing. No two trees or varieties will take quite the same pruning. Tha problem is different with young trees than with old. If all the fruit spurs are left on when the tree Is young, tha fruit wood extends further out on tha main limbs where It Is less easily thinned, sprayed or cropped. Evident ly the Baldwin tree was thus neglected in Its youth, while the Northern Spy was well pruned when young. In pruning apple, peach or pear, first cut out suckers. Remove the less Im portant limbs that have a tendency to keep closed the bead of the tree and to exclude sun and air. For the growth of large, luscious and highly colored fruit, sunshine is all-important. Fungus pests, are fostered where foli age excludes sun. Cover with a good oil paint the surface where large limbi are cut off, to exclude air and prevent decay. Be careful not to let the paint cover the surrounding bark as it will kill the bark, preventing new growth over wound. --- I Farmers Urged to Grow Small Fruits for Family The home orchard is being sadly neglected, despite the many good rea sous why It should not be, say fruit men at the New York State Agricul tural college. If for no other reasons, the healthfulness of fruit In the diet Is enougli to justify the care bestowed upon tlie orchard. At this time, when everything purchased comes high and the farmer wishes to cut down ex penses, a home supply of fruit will not only be healthful but economical. In those sections where the home or chard has been a discouraging prob lem attention might be directed to small fruits. An ample variety will fulfill almost any Individual need. For the typical family, the small fruits, such as strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, dewberries, currants, gooseberries and grapes, will make tbs greatest appeal not only because they require less spuce and come into hear ing early, but spraying nnd other cul* ttlral methods are more simple than for orchard fruits. Topwork Unsatisfactory Trees Early in Spring Are there any trees in your orchard of unsatisfactory variety? It will be possible for you to topwork such trees early in the spring to any variety of that fruit you wish if you prepare your dons in time. Tills part of your work should be done now. Select -cions of the desired sort*, choosing one-year-old wood—that la, wood which grew during the past sea* ■on. Carefully pack the cions away la RMderatel; moist sand. TRY STAR WANT APS
