StrawS Lead With Felt And Fabric
 Close Behind
By JOAN SAVOY NEA Service Writer


 It's all right to be a patriot, but hats this spring are international!
 The smartest of them suggest the inspiration of some well-known headgear of another country or another time. The beret, the fez, the turban are all in this category. But of course the best of them are variations that only a modern hat maker can conjure up.
 Straws, felts, crepe, ribbon, wool, and glossy materials such as cello phane fashion new hats. While straws lead right this minute, felts will be worn in greater and greater numbers a little later on in the spring. So watch the felt and fab ric hatsi
 One particularly smart new felt Cleft front) has a pinched crown and small brim, in beige, with touches of red and white in the banding. It loks a bit like the old German helmet, just enough to give it a sternness that the best tailored things are having.
 Fascist Mode
 The Fascist fez (right front) is gray felt, with black fringes and insignia, hat that has tremendous style for the right girl, particularly worn at the proper angle. The fringe falls in fattering manner over the side that you tip down over your eye and the ends of the fringe form the little tip that sticks up into the air at the top.
 Borrowing ideas from the Afrl- can turban, but translating them into 1883 American style, is the brown and soft ping turban Cleft rear). It is made entirely of folds of the brown and pink crepe, which alternaet in color. The top of the hat is of pink folds and then two little brown bows stick right up out of this, to soften the whole effect.
 Light blue straw, faced with navy blue crepe, fashions the big trimmed hat, which ties under the chin to anchor it, the way our own cowboys anchor their headpieces. This hat is quaintly low-crowned, like some of the Victorian picture hats. Its brim swops down in front and flares out slightly raised on the side. Right in front are some enameled flowers and a band of navy blue circles the rest of the crown.

A Handful of Beauty
International HedHtY/4Ht/lO71tY

Tt is odd, but true. that all Sally's wedding attendants have been in touch with me this week. First, the maid of honor, from out of town, then Marian Holt, one of the bridesmaids, and this morning came a letter from the other bridesmaid, Sally's young sister, Babs, away at boarding school. Dear Madame: (she wrote)
 I am getting to be just like Sally - going about boasting of the fact that l have met you; that you have been at my home, and that I actually have had advice from you. I find myself the center of attrac- ton in my particular group of girl friends and looked up to as a beauty authority.
 Of course. you think that all of us are too young to be bothering our heads about anything but brushing our hair, keeping our faces clean, getting enough exercise and being careful what we eat so we won't have blemished SklIlS. AHu, Ol COuTSc, yOu diO right. I have told the girls all these things as coming from you-and have let them try my pasteuriZed face cream and the beauty grains washing preparation and ever so many of them have started using them.
 Recently we have been con- centrating on our hands. Few of us have hands to write home about for we're out in the cold 8 lot and half the time we go bare-handed so our hands are chapped and red most of the time. We spend quite a lot of time on manicure, but our hands never look right. Worst of all, some of the girls have acquired the idea that it's smart to wear bright colored nail polish. Well, you never told me not to, but I know better just the same. Will YOU please write

Having an Easter complexion should be as important to wo-

 smooth petals of lilies and by
 them you should judge your skin. Is it as smooth as satin, as un-
 blemished as the petals of an
 Easter lily and as fragrant as spring flowers?
 Unless you can answer yes to
 those questions you should get busy right now 50 that you may greet Easter morn with clear,
 beautiful face.
 First, consider your health and
 health habits. The daily bath and
 daily elimination of food wastes
 in the body are the first two steps
 in the direction of lovely com- plexion. Use warm water and | plenty of soap when you bathe, scrub your skin with a long ham dled brush until it tingles and
 you're sure that each pore has | been opened with the waEm water
 and been cleansed with soap. 1 finish with a cool shower.
 If your complexion has dried from steam hea. and the winds

 agent in restoring smoothness. This is heavy. thick creamy sub 1 stance which should be massaged i gently into your face and neck be-

YOUR CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts Barton
OIoyy sY NfA SfaVIcE. Wl

I have been to group discussion l in which the amount of intell- | gence and sagacity of mothers pro- duced in me a warm glow of con- | tent and I went home feeling that all was well with the world. On the other hand I have had the opposite | experience now and then and l would begin to suspect that all was not so hopeful and that little | knowledge, or, let us say "hearsay knowledge" was pretty dangerous thing.
 Of the two, the woman who has nothing to rely on but her own common sense and natural under standing of her children and the one who gets d heterogeneous smattering of distorted facts that she does not comprehend and can- | not apply-of these two give me just plain "mother," please, with out any of the trimmings. EagernesS to Learn But perhaps this is unfair. The very eagerncss of women to learn the best ways of handling child problems is a thing to be admired and praised, even if at times one uOcS cOInC tlCIooo dD oNSl disciple who has it all wrong. The spirit is the thing and we are all learning. Some of us a little, some a good deal.
 But believe this is the right time for all of us to stop and sum- marize the situation. In one small community, for instance, where the mothers go about with books under their arms and the words "child training" on their lips morning, noon and night, I believe it would be well if they, too, would stop and take birdseye view of them- selves.
 Children Realize
 In the first place the children know too much about it. They know they are being eXperimented on and consist largely of subject matter and case material. This is never a good thing. It cannot pos sibly be so. When a mother has to get out a book to see what to do when Bobby says, q won't" or Betty goes to a movie without per- mission, then the whole thing be- comes a parody.
 This subject I think needs to be gone into very seriously, intelli- gently and privately, and let us say, almost sacredly.
 Reading good books is a splen- did way, yes, the best, I think. And to meet and discuss matters now and then, soberly and seriously, with each other or to get help with a problem that bothers us, or to hear what a qualified speaker has to say, or to seek the aid of a guidance clinic in extreme cases all these things are helpful and dignifed.
 But to make a fad out of child study, to talk about it as we would Culbertson's bids, just so we will be considered 'in-the-know" when we talk of expressions and com plexes, won't do any one much good.
 Children Aren't Same
 You sec, scarcely any two moth- CTS have the same sort of chil- dren. 1t is q case where each one has to figure it all out for herself, that is. as far as she is able. Quiet thought, quiet reading, quiet nalysis-without the knowledge of the children - always applying her own common-sense and good judgment, all these will send each of us on our way along the right road. And the cooperation of our husbands.

as well as a moral opportunity. A danger in that the freedom may make too great a strain upon them. The. moral opportunity is the chance of rising above this to finer plane of relationship. It is . test that some can safely pass and some cannot. It is an unfortunate situation caused by our building great cities. The remedy lies in the provision, by churches, indivtd. uals and social agencies. of par lors, and meeting rooms under adult supervision, with plenty of secluded hooks, corners, and lovers lanes but without quite such tempt ing precipices for lovers leaps.

taken because of his staunch oppo-
Sltion to laws against the poor

some time in advance of his asSas-
sination, according to Mrs. Pear
son.
Knew Trouble Was Coming
"Abe Lincoln was killed because
he was against such laws and his
advisers were for them" she de-
clared today. He knew he was in
for trouble. He sat in our home
and said that they would try to i'm
peach him.
"On one occasion, he said, When
laws like that are passed, the fire
will be out in the kitchen stove and
it will be hard to rekindle.'
pap helped Abe get his place in

a member of our own family. He
called my parents aunt and uncle,
and would sit in our log house and
talk to us about his ambitions.
IAN ak is not my pal, Uncle
JIM he said to Pap Mrs. Pearson
continued. Books were what he
wanted. He would chore about the
house, but when it came time to
cut down trees, or 'sprout, he would
run and hide.
Got Job for Abe
"Pap knew o. B. Ficklen, who
was a Charleston lawyer, and he
got Abe a job driving for Ficklin
and doing chores. Uncle Tommy
Lincoln, Abe's father, made Ficklin
sign papers that he would give Abe
an education.
Pap was on the jury in the first
trial that Abe ever was in. Ficklen
wrote out the case, and drilled Abe
in it. I remember, when my father
came home, he told us that Abe had
made fine speech.
After that Abe began to plead
law regularly.
THE Lincoln family wasn't poor,
according to those times. They were
like every one else. They had a lit
tie farms and a yoke Of oxen.
Lived in Wagons
"When the Lincoln settled at
Goose Neck Prairie, the women and
children lived in their wagons till
the men could build houses for
them. The houses had roofs made
of boards which were not nailed,
but weighted down. The windows
were creased paper, and the doors
had wooden hinges.
Mrs. Eliza Myers, who will be SO,

said. HE always was good-natured;

Resistance will be offered by the
HooSier Motor Club to attempts to
increase license fees, gasoline tax,
and make a further diversion in
present revenue received from such
sources, Todd Stops, secretary
manager, said today.
Every day at the Statehouse one
sees signs and hears rumors of raid

fit of the general fund to take care
of the 100000 deficit faced by the
state for the fiscal year." Stops de-
clared.
Result Of a straw vote taken
among club members recently re-
vealed an overwhelming ma ority in
favor of establishing a at So license
fee for all passenger cars and reduc-
ton of gasoline tax to 2 cents a GAL
Ion, Stops said.
Ninety-two per cent Of those vot-
ing were against a further diversion
in highway funds, and 81 per cent
favoring restoration to the state

verified to counties, cities and towns
in the special session of the legisla-
ture last summer.
