 'eYes. indeed. I'll play after I'm through with my work" replied the lit tie boy. Come along with me-
 Diclzy just wondered what the llttt4 fellow had to do. so he and GocomebacS followed him home.

LIPSTICK CASE IS CARRIED INTO
 HIGH COURT
Arkansas Schoolgirl De- termined to Fight for Right to Use Cosmet- icS.

Knobel, Ark. Dec. 2s-The famous | "lipstick' case of Miss Pearl Pugsley against the Knobel public school | board of directors is due to come up for argument shortly in the Arkansas Supreme Court.
 Pearl had violated the boards or der against the use of cosmest1cs ana she was told to either go wash her artificial complexion" or go home. She went home.
 The board explained that its order banning face powder. short skirts ana peek-a-boo waists in school was made because i've found it tended to dis tract the attention, especially of the boys, in school
 Miss Pugsley, however. said she believed in women's rights to use anything on their faces that would make them ''look better and brought to set aside the rule, that she might return to school and bring her powder puff back wiht her.
 County Circuit Court, held the rule was unreasonable and unjust, that ''boys and girls alike might wear it without injury to anyone" but did not grant the mandamus, On the ground that the testimony did nor show the school board had ever san- toned the action of PEof. N. E. Hicks, school superintendent, in ex-
 
 The case was appealed to the Su- preme Court, and the school board has now adopted strategic program
 First, the board recently abondon- ed the two years High school course in vogue at the school for more than three years Lack of proper H. brary and laboratory equipment Tn Fiven as the cause for this action. Miss Pugsley was in her first year of High school when expelled, and even should she win the mandamus she could not return to school since the higher grades have been abandoned.
 Second, the boards petition in the Supreme Court states the rule ban ming use of cosmetics has not been readopted and Is not now in force.
 Miss Pugsley, the "Joan d'Aarc'' of the lipstick war, Is now attending school at Corning. six miles north of here where. she says. she is "de- termined to complete her education.
 ''It wasn't a desire to create troo- bie when the suit was brought" she explinaed. 'EI merely felt that my toes were being tramp1ed on, so to speak, and the Irish blood in me oe- gan to boil. I'm going to fight the case to a finish in an effort to uphold the women's rights to use all reasona- times.
 "On his deathbed, my father want ed to carry the case to the courts. and I'm going to do just what think he would have wanted me to do"
 Miss Pugsley says she has received a half ton of letters from thou sands of admirers all over the coun- try, who are asking her to continue the fight she is waging."

 He went over to a little shed and brought out fresh vegetables. These he piled into his cart. and away they started to town, where he left the vege- tables with a storekeeper.

 Not yet" he answered. Don't grow impatient We children must work to pay for the trouble and expense we cause our parents.

The planetary connEurations for xa.S day arc not encouraging. Although new and far-reachinE plans are unda fa- vorable auspices, especially az theS ,-s- late to large corporations or to secret orders or diplomacy. yet the actual operation of these projects may meet with setbacks or obstacles. It may be wise to defer active, constructive work till more propitious rule. The health may prove a matter of grave concern. and should not be neglected. All writ. ings, contracts and documents shouIS be signed cautiously.
 Those whose birthday 1t Is may find active operations for the year thwarted It may be, however, a good :ime for planning and outlining future activities. Particular attention should be given the health. A child born on this day may be impressionable and visionary unless given rigorous training.
