EMPIRE
REPORTED AIMING

Italy was made nervous during
the past year by reports tina. the
Ethiopian empire was arming with
modern army equipment including
airplanes and machine guns. Since
Ethiopia and italian Somahl' d, as
well as the other Italian colony of
Eritrea, are neighbors, fears Of a
religious War were felt.
With the signing OF a treaty Of
"peace and amity" on September
29. however, much Of this fear as
dissipated. Each nation pledged it
self TO respect the rights OF the
other.
Another flip TO bad feeling was
given about the middle OF Novem-
Der when the italian consulate at
Cougar. Ethiopia, was attacked "
an armed group. One member OF
the consulate guard was killed and
two Others injured,
The Ethiopian government apol-
ogized for the incident and paid
indemnitles.
In recent months Italy has re-
inforced its military forces IN Ital-
ian SomalilanG and Eritrea and, at
the same time. a Belgian military
mission has riven instructions to
the E|thiopians.

GLORIFYING
YOURSELF
By Alicia Hart


When you wear an evening frock,
your bare shoulders, back and arms
should be made up carefully and
thoughtfully.
LIQUID powder Is invaluable
| when you're ready to make up
your back and arms. There was q
time when 1t could be purchased in
only one shade--white. But cos
Imeticians have realized the impor-
lance of 1t and that more and
more women are learning to use 1t.
As O. result, they have made 1t in
several shades. II you are q bru-
nette, there Ii q liquid powder in
q racheIle tone for YOU. If your
skin Ia light and your hair Ia
blonde, there are pinkish tones that
will blend perfectly on your fair
skin.
Always apply liquid powder with
n small piece of cotton. Shake the
bottle, saturate the cotton pad and
rub your shoulders and arms with
1t. When dry, rub your hands
lightly over your skin to make sure
that there are no streaks.
1t Is q little difficult to put any
sort of makeup on your back. But
1t can be done. Wrap the end Of
q large pad with plenty of cotton
and soak 1t In the liquid powder.
Then, reaching downward over
each shoulder, rub your back with
the pad. Some girls wrap cotton
around the end Of q shoe tree and
find that 1t makes a good powder
pad for applying any kind Of
makeup to the back and shout
