V. CLARKE NEW YORK—A nation to be suc cessful must be thrifty, according to John W. Davis, Oemocratic candi date for President. He adds that he considers the Jogi'al basis for Ameri can thrift to be the conservation of our natural resources. Indeed, he stresses that part of his party's plat form advocating this. Seen at Democratic Headquarters here, he spoke strongly for national saving and, above all, for the guard ing and protection of our great natural resources of wealth. Mr. Davis considers the Democra tic platform one of the best in his tory. Among other planks he men tioned that covering the conservation of natural resources and, under tins head, stressed the need to protect the country's wild life and especially its waterfowl. The Democratic nominee is thor oughly familiar with this subject. He spoke of the great value (over one billion dollars) of our wild life and mentioned that in many states the wild life is more valuable than the domestic live stock. The waterfowl of the country lead all other forms of wild life in value. The fact that, of the 7,000,000 hunters in the country. 4.000,000 are hunters of migratory waterfowl, naturally impressed Mr. Davis with the urgent nerd of conservation. Un less adequate breeding, feeding and resting grounds are provided, he feels that the most valuable form of wild life is threatened with extinc tion. He is strongly in support of all efforts along this line. ‘‘Hunting is fast losing its charac ter as one of the most democratic of sports," said Mr. Davis. “The really good shooting grounds are rapidly being taken up by clubs too expens ive to be patronized by the average sportsman. Drainage of great marsh Vit * Democratic Candidate John W. Davis Stresses the Conservation ot Natural Resources and swamp areas, the natural breed ing and feeding grounds”of wildfowl* has threatened these with extinction* We must establish public shooting: grounds so that the man of average means may enjoy the ancient, health ful and democratic pastime of shoot ing, and v.c must have the refuges if we are to continue to have the W ihlfowi.” The (lame Refuge Bill now before Congress, which is entirely a non partisan measure, implies no addi tional burden to the taxpayer and is favored by the Democratic candidate. The costs it comprehends are entirely covered by a yearly license fee of one dollar paid by the hunter. Mr. Davis’ support of the Came Refuge Bill is directly in lint; with bis known policy of conservation, economy and efficiency in Govern ment?! affairs ‘ \MERICANS LOSING LEAD \ • IN BEAUTY, SAYS SINGfc R HEW YORK—“Only a little time ♦go American women were the envyj if their European sisters because of :heir beauty,” declared Mile. Ina Bourskava, mezzo-soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Company, and iamcus on two continents for her singing, beauty and style. ‘They same to Europe,” added Mademoiselle Bournkaya, “and wore the clothes of our modistes with better etiect than the nitives. There was a trimness and cleanliness of line about them which suggested not alone style but mental and moral energy. Properly dressed, with their natural vivacity and cleverness, they are the most beautiful and attractive women in the world, but,” she added sadly, "at the present time many of them slump more badly than do the Europeans. Where once they were alert they are languid. The reason is that some of them are corsetless. The fine re straint and dignity which come with a proper corset are no longer there. “This is not always true. Some of them who still dress sensibly, consi dering both appearance and health, wear modern corsets. They are noticeable everywhere. They s;ein to be members of a new and better race. They stand erect, yet easily. They move with grace and dignity. They do not slnmp. The whole ef fect is one of candor and natural beauty, if. “It is an odd fact that the uneor seted woman is never natural. To be your natural best you subject! yourself to a little restraint. Even beautiful clothes are a restraint.! Something ugly and careless would do quite as well from the point of view of convenience. '’However, like every other fad not based on reason, the recent couetle.s.s fad is doomed to be short-lived, j Women, and especially American women, will not consent to look that j way. They have looked so much] better in the oast, and they know it.! And their appearance tinctures their] moral and intellectual standard." "Do you think that the change will come soon?" she was asked. “Yes,” she answered. ‘T.ike every other fad based upon insecure foundations, the corsetless idea will soon be forgotten. It is a question of people's health a; well as a fashionable appearance. It j is also a question of moral attitude. It is significant that many women discarded their corsets during Un moral slump which followed the war. The fashionable world is getting back to a higher spiritual level It is re suming its Sunday manners and clothes. And the very foundation of this improvement is the modern (corset.” \ ) Mile.
