YOUR BEAUTY
HOW MUSIC WILL ADD TO YOUR CHARMS

One wise homemaker turns on q
photographic record of bright, re-
freshing melody while she does
her homework in the morning.
Dishes, ironing and many other
household tasks can be attended
to with infinitely less WEAKNESS
while one is listening to music.
A young business woman found
the interval between office hours
and her rather late dinner trying
to her tired nerves, until she BAN
ished the difficulty by having a
little concert of her favorite rec.
ords to fill the interval. She
found the hour in this way sooth-
ing and refreshing.
1t is an excellent plan to do
your morning exercises to music.
OF course, II you can make a
musician of yourself. in however
amateurish a way, so much the
better. In there days of special
take up hobbies or avocations as
a rest to tired nerves and to pre-.
vent getting into a rut mentally,
which is the quickest way to
grow old and uninteresting.
And what moro charming ac-
complishment is there than music?
You will surely enjoy learning
to play some musical instrument
or you may prefer to cultivate
that delicate instrument, your
own voice.
In either case reasonable
time spent each day over your
music will rest rather than tire
you. And whatever rests and re-
freshes a woman preserves her
youth and her beauty. Likewise,
an accomplishment such as music
in whatever form will enable you
to give pleasure to others and so
add to your charm.

CHINA COMES OUT IN SUPPORT OF LEAGUE
Tchengloh Says Assembly Has
 Proven It's Power

GENEVA, Sept. 1s.-(By As- ciated Press.)-China came out strongly in support of the League of Nations today. Tchengloh, Chi nese minister to France, in an ad- dress before the assembly, declared the league. had given ample proof of it's ability to secure the peace of the world and to help the triumph of justice.
 This had been accomplished, he declared, because the basis of the league was recognition of the equsli- ty of the peoples without distinction of race, color or religion. China was convinced that the time would soon come when all the nations of the earth would be represented in the league.
 Tchengloh moved the adoption of the report of the council on the work of the past year, because, he said, 1t demonstrated that the sentiment of fraternity and cooperation was surging to the front throughout the world. Sidiskauskas, of Lithuania between his country and Poland, made the point that, if the League of Nations did not yet occupy in the political world that place which pro- motors expected, 1t was chiefly be- cause competency of the league was too limited and also because of WI at he termed the faulty methods employed by the council in solution of differences between nations.
 All the speakers praised the league for it's achievements in prob. lems like refugee work, public health, rrotection ot minorities and reconstruction of countries in dis tress. Bulgaria reported that she was doing everything to help in the needed economic rehabilitation of Europe and placed full faith in the future of the league.
