Changing Shape of Lips.

TINE question Of how to alter the
shape and size of the lips
bothers some of my readers. It
i Is usually the girls in their teens
and early twenties who want to
make such change, and I suspect that
their desire Is based upon an ambition
to resemble their favorite movie stars
or the beautiful magazine pictures that
appeal to their fancy
Or course, it is nice to have a dainty
pair of lips, but If nature has not pro-
vlded them one need not despair. The
form or shape of the lips is only one Of
the three things that make them pretty.
The other two factors are smooth tex
ture and sweet disposition, which are
within reach of any girl or woman.
Lips that are dry and cracked are
not beautiful. And If there are fever
blisters and cold sores at the corners
continually or in the center, then they
lose their appeal completely no matter
how perfectly they are curved. Lpstick
that is applied too heavily and crudely
and not blended smoothly spoils the eff
feet of the most charming Cupid's bow
mouth, and, OF course, when a girls
lips are a little stoo thick these defects
become all the more noticeable when
coloring Is used.
Excessively dry lips and sores on the
lips indicate that something is wrong
with ones internal machinery. Usually
1t is the digestive system that Is at
fault. Chronic constipation and indi-
gestion rob the lips Of their beauty and
also faint the breath. These conditions
should be corrected as soon as they are
recognized Cold cream, olive oil or a
soothing lip lotion. such as glycerin and
rosewater, should be applied to the dry
surfaces. The fever sores or blisters
should be cleansed with peroxide of
hydrogen and then moistened with
spirits OF camphor A simple home
made soothing lotion may be made from
the following simple ingredients: Half
ounce honey, four ounces rosewater. one
ounce glycerln, one scant teaspoonful
borlc acid (which should be dissolved in
one tablespoonful Of boiling water Mix
well and add the other ingredients in
the order given. Shake well and apply |

goes along with him until he is brushed
of by a weed or stem. When on the
ground the wee seed gets busy and sends
tiny roots into the soil.
Many farmer has viewed his pas
lures with wrath as he saw great
patches of yellow buttercups. For well
he knows that the stems and leaves
have caustic acrid which burns and
stings. No self-respecting COW will
touch the plant. thus the buttercup
protects her family from extinction.

My Neighbor Says:

When cooking cabbage. place
a small pan with vinegar and
pepper on the stove where it will
simmer while the cabbage is
cooking In this way you will
hardly detect any cabbage odor.
Very thin slices of orange are
nice in lemonade or ginger ale
punch.
Do you ever have a soggy pie
crust? Try this After the pan
is lined with pastry, melt a gen.
erous tablespoon of butter and
pour over the pastry. Then fill
and cover. The bottom crust will
stay crisp for several days.

Being a kind Of fat man with a
loose necktie to prove he was a artist,
and after a while Sid said, Well hay,
mister, If you'll wait till Winter time
wouldent 1t be easier to paint the snow
because all you'd half to do would be
to spred 1t on instead Of having to
paint it all so careful like you do the

And he kept on painting, and I said,
WITCH dries the quickest. mister, little
picture or a big picture?
That all depends, the man said
And he took out cigarette and lit

The front page news of recent
months will be better understood
when E. M. Newman. ace travel
talker, arrives here with a new
around the world Journey in
five thrilling episodes. The mas

China is making an important
place for herself among the mill
tary nations of today.
Mr.. Newman was equally for
tunate in obtaining motion and
still pictures of the stirring events

February and March.
The route from New York city
leads us to Madeira, Palma de

GOVFPIAAFNT H IR1FD FOR PRODUCERS Rdgs
Other Business S
Speculative,
Is Comment

Aid to the theater through the
Federal Reserve system is sug-
gested by Equity" organ Of the
Actors Equity Association, in its
leading editorial this month.
The editorial points out that on
August l, for the first time, the
way was opened for individuals
partnerships and corporations
with good credit ratings to OBJ
tain assistance from the Govern
ment. Equity" holds that the
theater is plainly within the in.
tent of the law and deserving OF
the help that might be offered.
Employment would be greatly
increased if producers could carry
on their normal activities, for
the theater employees, not only
actors, but musicians, stage hands
and representatives of many other
trades and occupations.
1t is admitted that the Specu-
lative character of theatrical en-
terprise might be urged against
it, but Equity" comments:
Gould anything be more
speculative than farm products?
They are dependent upon the
vagarieS of an unpredictable
weather, at the mercy of insects
and bIights and the prices they
may bring can never be calcu-
lated in advance. Yet the Gov
ernment has poured a great
deal Of money into the prOduc-
ing, carrying and marketing of
these products.
"NOr are many types Of in
dustr appreciably better off.
They depend not only on
changeabIe markets but in some
instances are affected by in
ternatiOnaI situations over which
they can exercise no control.
THE theater is uncertain:
that is admitted. But so are
these others and they have got
ten money from the Govern.
ment. The theater should have
the same opportunity.

Two news shots of special inter

rently being shown at Loew'S
Palace Theater. These reveal
President Hoover at the ceremon-
les in tribute to Cardinal Gibbons,
and Quantico Marines making a

The first motion picture inter
view ever made of the former
Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm,
of Germany. is also contained in
the current issue. The pictures
were made on the estate of Count
Almeder, at Mondsee, Austria,
where the ex-Crown Prince was
visiting.
Friedrich Wilhelm declares that
if it had not been for the entry of
the United States into the world
war Germany would surely have
conquered the Allies. If Germany
could go SO far alone against the
nations of Europe, he adds, there
need be no doubts about her fu-
ture. He expresses the hope that
he will be able to come to the
United States soon.

They went through the house
sorting out grandpa's posses
sions. When they found any
thing that they could sell, they
were very happy indeed. The
other things they tossed into
the ash barrel.
They came at last to the ge-
ranium on the window sill, and
were all for throwing. it out.
But Mary dried her tears and
spoke up for the first time.
Indeed you won't throw it
away" she said firmly. Grand
pa loved that plant. If none Of
you want it, I'll take it and care
for it. I know that grandpa
would want me to. Give it to
me-"
The argument that followed
almost resulted in a free-for-al,
with Mary forced to battle them
all. No one felt very kindly to-
ward the old man. No one
wanted any reminder of him
about. The flower pot was go
ing out. That was final. II
Mary wanted to go with it, well,
that was all right, too.
Mary circled the geranlum
plant with a loving arm.
Come, mama" she said. I'D
rather go somewhere else than
have grandpa's plant die un-

Mama wasn't exactly pleased
about the whole affair, and
didn't mind saying so. She con-
sidered Mary very foolish, and
didn't mind saying that, either.
At least they had a roof over
their heads. Now what were
they going to do?

"At a hotel!" shouted mama.
Have you gone crazy, too?
How are we going to afford
that?"
But Mary would say no more.
She called cab and they
drove in state to their new
quarters. Others besides mama
felt that Mary was crazy as
she meandered through the
lobby carrying a large aWk-
ward flower pot which. in turn,
held a scraggy geranium plant.
Mama was still fuming as
they began to unpack their
things. She went into the
closet for a moment to hang
up her dresses. When she
came back, she found Mary
fussing around the flower pot.
She was digging into the dirt.
AS mama watched, puzzled, she
saw Mary draw out a small
oilcloth package.
Mama pounced upon it
eagerly. She tore away the
string and unfolded the oil
cloth. Ten dirty. folded, one
thousand-dollar bills were in
side.
The overjoyed woman threw
her arms around Mary'S neck
and kissed her roundly.
MY darling" she quavered,
with tears in her eyes, you
we're sweet to want to care for
dear grandpa's plant. Your
love for him was genuine. Now
God has rewarded you!"
Mary looked at her coldly.
"Nuts!" she retorted. What
do you think I stuck around
the old punk for? I knew
he wasn't fooling around a
NANCY old plant for nothing.
