RELIGION TO BEAT
CRIME is URGED
Or. Kernahan Sees Church
Training as Best Pre-
tentative.

Religious training is the most potent
weapon conceivable to prevent crime,
DR.. Earl A. Kernahan, director of the
forthcoming visitation evangelistic CAM
paign here, declared in an interview
today.
DR.. Kernahan has definite ideas on
the best methods of dealing with crime.
He believes crime would be far less
widespread IL a greater proportion OF
the country'S children were reared in
the proper environment and taught the
cardinal principles of any Christian
religion.
II have discussed the problem with
numerous Juvenile court authorities"
Dr. Kernahan explained. They all
agree that a great ma jority of criminals
are persons who never were given re-
ligious training. There are few nota-
BILE exceptions to this rule, of course,
but that is to be expected. There are
exceptions to all rules. The fact re-
mains, however, that very few persons
given religious training as children de-
velop into criminals. That is just one
Of the reasons am so anxious to obtain
as many church members as possible"
The evangelist thinks one of the
greatest tasks faced by the churches is
to obtain the support of many sub
stantial citizens who take practically
no interest IN religious affairs.
DR.. Kernahan explained there are
two methods of evangelism - mass
evangelism and personal evangelism.
He is a strong proponent of the latter.
Mass evangelism, he believes, is obsolete

While the majority are troubled with
perspiring hands only during the hot,
sultry weather, there are those whose
palms seem to be always damp and
clammy. This is most embarrassing as
well as uncomfortable. When this Ia
the case, very often the cause is III
health, nervousness or emotional COM

treatments will give temporary relief
and should be used, IL is well for these
who are afflicted to have a thorough
physical examination.
While local treatments are very good
and should be employed, 1t must not be
forgotten that good health Is the foun-
dation Of all beauty and it is the first
duty of every woman who would be
lovely TO look first TO her health. When
she eats the right foods and q suf-
flcient amount of fresh fruits and veg
etables, sleeps sufiiciently in a well VEN
tilated bed room and exercises every day

constipation, drinks plenty of water and
takes her cleansing and stimulating
baths, she has laid the foundation for
beauty and charm.

1t is necessary to apply an astringent
lotion to them when completing the
morning toilette. The following lotion
is excellent for this purpose: One dram
tannic acid, drains eau de cologne,
ounces witch-hazel, ounces rosewa-
ter. Shake well. Apply the lotion gem
erously to the palms of the hands and
between the fingers, and also massage
the backs of the hands with it. 1t is a
good plan to keep a bottle of this So
luton, together with good hand To-
ton, handy at the of1ce as well as at
home.
During the warm days it may be nee
essary to apply it not only In the morn
ing before leaving the house, but again
at noontime and again at bedtime, in
order to keep the hands comfortable,
cool and free from that clammy, moist
feeling.
Another very simple home remedy for
perspiring hands Is made by dissOlying
an ounce of powdered alum in one quart
of warm water. Allow 1t to cool and use
this as q wash two or three times a day.
allowing the lotion to dry on the hands
A good way to keep the hands in good
condition and youthful is to use
good skin lotion or hand cream every
time they are washed and dried, and to
use an oily cream on them at night, to-
gether with q bleaching and massage
treatment once a week. Every time YOU
wash your hands gently press the cuti-
Gle back from the nails with the towel.

to gain the desired immunity without

so common in the case of typhoid, but
we know 1t is common in the case
of tuberculosis.
The trouble with these casual immu-

SUB ROSA
By MIMI.
Beauty a Fatal Gift.

A very unusual verdict was rendered
recently in Brooklyn court A young
man sitting next to a young woman in
q motion picture theater fiirted, or at
tempted to f1irt, with her. He was
arrested 1t was his first offense. The
magistrate said the young woman was
as much at fault as the young man.
Addressing the young woman, he said
You are very beautiful. It is the
nature of young men to be attracted
by beautiful girls. Since this Is so, 1
cannot blame the young defendant. He
isn't at fault--at the same time neither
should you be held responsible. The
responsibility is natures.
young man, stop flirting. forgive
you this time-but don't let it happen
again. Young woman, you should
wear veil. You are very pretty. This
young man disturbed the peace-but
you caused him to. Case dismissed"
The young man had trembled at the
possibility of term in jail. The young
woman blushed-they both went their
different ways.
1t would indeed be interesting II they
should somehow be presented formally
to each other-fall in love-and live
happily ever after. 1t is unfortunate that
this episode did not happen within the
covers of a novel. In fiction there
would be happy ending.
The perfect fade-out of the story
would be for the couple to be married
by the magistrate before whom they
had appeared.
Beauty. said Lord Byron, is "a fatal
gift"
ALI women aspire to be beautiful
and those who aren't try every known
means to be as beautiful as possible.
Powder and rouge help. The hair
dresser Is a public benefactor. But If
what the magistrate said is to be taken
seriously, it may conceivably happen
that some time a law will be passed
prohibiting beauty parlors. Powder
puffS will have to be carried as some
men now carry a hip flask.
Those of us who are inclined to
break the law can brew permanent
waves in the home! Vanity cases will
be taboo. Second offenders who use a
lipstiCk will be sentenced to dark bou-
doris in which there are no mirrorsl
All of this might happen-but such a
laW will never be passed. The distin-
guiShed gentlemen who sit in our
highest courts are Humankind am
certain they would declare the law I'M
constitutional.

Remove the side shoots of to-
mato plants in order to make
strong plants. When these shoots
are removed the plants bear more
fruit.
If you live so close to the high
way that passersby can look into
your house, try painting the
screen doors with a very thin
coat of white paint. and you can
look out, but people passing by
cannot see into your living rooms.
When tin cake and bread boxes
become scratched and worn look
ing, give them a coat or two of
metal paint. Paint the inside
white and outside any color you
desire. Allow the paint to dry
well before the boxes are used.
To remove rust from a tea
kettle dry it, then completely
cover it inside and out with a
coating of fresh lard, packing
the nose with some. Then put it
in the oven and bake all day for
two or three days with a hot fire,
so that the lard makes q glaze
over the rust. Then. If the glaze
is good, the teakettle is ready to
