 Beauty and Complexion

Vienna, Sept. 13.-Women who are heavy smokers lose their fair complexion much more quickly than nonsmoking women, in the opinion of Dr. R. Hofstatter, noted Vien- nese gynecologist, who has writ ten book entitled "The Smoking Woman"
 The features of smoking wom- en, he contends, are usually much sharper than those of nohsmokers. The more women smoke, the sharp CT the nose and chin are outlined and the skin becomes very taut.
 The lips, says Dr. Hofstatter, lose their rosy natural color and become pale, while the corners of the lips show wrinkles, premature ly and there is tendency for the 1 lower lip of female smoke addict to project further than the upper | lip. Through this gradual change the features of the smoking wom- an become more and more mascu observed that heavy female smok- CTS have a pronounced growth of beard.
 The eye of strong female smok- CTS undergoes a change, says Dr. Hofstatter The lid rises and falls much more slowly There is ten dency to stare. Some women even become crosseyed as they smoke.
 Among the women who smoke heaviest are teachers, students, fe- male physicians. actresses, artists and piano virtuosos.

Religious Education Occupies
 Attention N Churches This Fall

Parents" and Dickens Cricket on the Hearth"
 A new custom will be inaugur- ated at the South church this sea- son of setting aside one Sunday evening a month for short subject pictures of two or three reels, sometimes using several pictures on one evening. One of these short subject IS three reel picture taken by the government during the trip by the late President Hard ing to Alaska. This picture cannot be seen in theaters as 1t is the property of the government and will not be released to be shown, where an admission is charged. It shows interesting scenes of life and conditions in Alaska as found by the late president.
 Others will include, Man Versus Beast" a thrilling picture of Afri. can life in its native wilds. An- other one Birds of Passage" wifi show in three reels the story of birds, their habits of migration, nest building, etc.
 During the summer the supply of slides with hymns and scripture readings has been increased, many of them being made on special or.l der until today the local church has larger supply of religious music, hymns and Bible readings on movS ing picture slides than any other organization in the world, eccord- ing to information from factories making these slides.
 Some of these scripturai passages are collections from various parts of the Bible and all, as well as the hymns have been selected to con- form to the picture and sermon of the evening for which. they gre scheduled.
 An indication of how difficult it is to find suitable films for church movies is shown in the fact, that Frederic L. Fay, director of educas tion at that church. searched through the entire summer. output of one film corporation, including about 60 full page press sheets without finding one suitable pic. ture.
