One may talk about the diff

other lands as compared to

differences lie in the foods Of
various sections right in these
United States.
What one section Of the
country regards as indispenS-
able another may never have
heard about-what some North
erners eat, many Southerners
ignore-what the West prefers,
many Fasteners let alone.

Or take chile con carne, born
in the Southwest and accepted
by the South and West, but
not popular outside these boun-
daries. And while your East
erner swallows his steamed
clans and the Southerner
munches his beaten biscuit, his
pecan pie or even burgoo, the
Westerner will be smiling over
a date and orange salad and
the New Englander will be sit

With the States so close in

One writes from Chicago that

Freedom


Freedom
At last the gift is mine, this
freedom priced
AS far more dear than any
other thing
That restless hearts have ever
yet devised
To heal the hurts Of life, to
soothe its sting.
At last! To be released from
nagging care,
From little frets and breads
that vexed my days,
And like a potent amulet to
wear
This sense Of peace which bright
ems all earth's ways!
To have escaped the clutches Of
desire
And fierce ambitions mad, 70
lentless urge;
To feel my kinship when the
waves conspire
With winds in freedom where
the billows surge!
And, strangely. now at last to

II you feel able to spend the
money, my advice to you is to
visit one Of the reputable beauty
shops and have a soothing hot
oil shampoo. This will greatly
benefit your hair condition and
you will have that feeling of
clean hair, which always peps
one up and makes one feel bet

I have in mind a shop which
specializes on the care of the
hair. There you will almost go
to sleep while having this
shampoo. First your hair is
combed, then saturated with a
fragrant oil, a fine medicated
one, excellent for the scalp. This

QueStiOn-Dear Miss DumOnt,
what are the causes of black
heads? What can 1 do to pre-
vent and remedy them. Can
you suggest a preparation that
/ can use after cleansing the
skin for the purpose Of closing
the pores? Thank you.
S. G. A.
Answer - Blackheads are
caused by tendency of the Sc
cretion of the subaceous glands
to harden. Cleanse the skin
frequently with soap and warm
water if your skin is the oily
type with blackheads. If 1t Is
the dry type, use creams. Steam
the face with hot towels and
gently press out the blackheads.
Then use an antiseptic.

ones on the market will close

Yes. The guests rise at the

cal phrase Here comes the

tions they remain standing dur

guests may take their seats
while the ushers escort the

that it Is the appropriate time
for guests who are not to be
escorted to leave their places,
they rise and go down the
