CONTENTED.
Dear Contented:
You are right-a letter such
as yours should get wide circu-
lation. 1t might suggest to
other husbands the idea of
checking up on their wives vir-
tues and accomplishments in
stead of always emphasizing
the worst in their life partners.
Men are proud of their cars,
their golf scores and their
business (if any, so why
shouldn't they air their pride
in their most valuable possess
sion-a charming, helpful wife?
OF course tastes in wives, as
in socks, books, movies and
sports, diff er considerably.
Some men would run mile in
their stocking feet to get away
from a fireside companion who
regaled them with information
about the tse tSe flies and Greek
architecture. It is just your
amazingly good fortune that
you dote on erudite conVersa-
tions and older women who
have had the years and expe-
rience to improve their minds.
But don't be too hard on the
young girls. Remember that
your paragon of a wife was
once one of those impossible
creatures. It takes time, train
ing and experience for a woman
to develop to her highest peak,
as your wife seems to have done.
Still, it is comforting to know
that there is one husband who
finds that his Wife'S charms in
crease with the years.
Most men as they get older
want their women younger, un-
til it is not at. all unusual to see
some old goat of IS out hitting
the high spots with a babe of 16,
leaning on her for support for
his doddering limbs.
Men usually think themselves
attractive at any age, though
they believe that a woman over
Is is too old to bother about. It's
a good thing for the women in
their 30S and 40s and better that
there are some men sensible
enough to appreciate them for
their mature minds, wit and
grace. More power to you and

In Diet Now

Starting today, the solids Of
the diet are going to be grad

Many Forms
Rouge comes in either liquid,
cream, or compact powder form.
Many women complain that
they cannot apply liquid
rouge properly. If the cheeks
are still moist with skin tonic,
or are moistened specially to
prepare the skin properly, the
liquid may be easily applied.
Put a tiny bit of the liquid on
a small piece of absorbent cot

think that it is better to mix
it with the powder, and then

And I will say, in conclusion,
that there is one type, any,

are many other types that

It's so hard, when one is
young and inexperienced, to
know in a flash what is the
right thing to do. And it's so
easy to give advice afterwards,
as you may have noticed, my
dear. But one of the surest
ways to become unpopular with
a boy. because of his family,
is to call on him at his resi-
dence. His mother is apt to
think you're a forward little
mink or, escaping that, the
entire family is apt to guy the
youth for having young lady
callers.
Better not go to a boys home
except on the express invitation
of some member of his family,
unless he happens to have a
sister with whom you're
ckummy. This boy really
shouldn't be mad" with you,

I was 13. I am II now, and
through these past four years
it has increased immensely.
Please advise me what to do
about it. j. F.
Answer: If I were you, I
should look upon gray hair as
an asset and play up to it. With
individuality at such a premium,
I hope I can convince you you
are fortunate. Keep your hair
looking glossy. well-shampooed,
and well-waved at all times. Put
a bit of bluing in the rinse to
keep any yellow glints from
creeping into it, and you might
chose a way of wearing it that
is distinctive. I knew a profess
sional model one time who was
just a little older than you, and
her hair had a generous silver
streak. 1t was fascinating.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 81. (UP)
President Hoover unexpectedly be-
gan last minute drive yesterday
to push his many-sided reconstruct
ton program through the waning
days of the "lamc duck congress.
With his departure from the
White House only two weeks
away, Mr.. Hoover sent to Capitol
Hill a message bristling with such
phrases as "critical Importance"
"grave dangers" and "eXaggerat-
ing fears" The message urged
adoption of eight measures "look-
ing to the promotion of economic
recovery"
The bankruptcy bill must be
passed, the president said, if de-
structive receiverships, particular
ly among the railroads. are to be
avoided.
The complicated domestic allot-
ment plan would do more harm
than good to agriculture, said Mr..
Hoover.
He urged that the house of rep
resentatives quit making public
the loans of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, declaring
such revelations are drying up the
very sources of credit.
These three subjects were con-
sidered by some as the most im-
portant in the eight pithy para

RALEIGH, Feb. 21. - The
finance subcommittee has passed
the buck as to what kind of sales
tax the state shall have, if any,
on to the joint finance commit
tees, which in turn are expected
to pass it on to the general assem-
bly,. For without recommending
the adoption of either, the sub
committee has brought out its new

committee estimates that its new
revenue bill will yield, with either
sales tax. approximately $25,OOO,-

The committee stated in its re-
port that after careful study and
consideration that it became "con-
vinced" that the budget as out
lined at present cannot be bal

the general assembly is to avoid
levies on productive business that
would be confscatory or danger

This means that the committee
was convinced that a sales tax Is
the only way to avoid levying OF
increasing other taxes to the point
where the businesses and indus
