More hpStick news! It takes
early fall for a flock of them
to appear, and most Of us can
stand chucking our old one
away and getting a new one.
Summer heat not only makes a
mess out Of our faces, but it
makes a mess out of lipsticks,
too!
Again the makers of these lip
paints claim they are indelible
and will remain on all day. It
is up to you to call their bluff.
Every lip reacts so differently
to lip rouge that I cannot get
in back of these promising
statements and vouch for them.
Personally, have found sew
eral lipstickS that have stayed
on as long as I wanted them,
but when 7 have recommended
them to others-trouble start
ed! So all I shall say Is that
these are called indelible, they
are new and the five shades
are pretty swell.
Natural, as it implies, IS q
splendid daytime shade for the
blonde, as it slightly accentu'
ates the natural color of the
lips. Cherry is q richer shade.
also suitable for blondes and
grand for evening wear. Vivid
is brighter and can be recon-
mended for all medium types,
while poppy is the ideal shade
for the brunette complexion
which usually goes in for some
high lip color! Medium is
frankly a nighttime shade, for
its ruby luster is best brought
out by the bright lights of eve
ming.
In choosing a shade don't for
get to take into consideration
your recent change Of skin. Once
you were a blonde, but what are
you today? Perhaps your tan
makes you a medium type, or
even a brunette. ! suggest you go
and try each shade and make
your own choice.

upon to do.
They have good noses and are
always keenly alert to all that
is going on around them. If
properly handled they are de-
voted to their masters and
make every effort to under

The wave Of popularity on
which the shepherd swept the
country ebbed in a tide Of
mediocrity from which it has
been rescued largely through
the efforts of Mrs. Hartley
Dodge and the officers and
patrons of the Madison and
Essex Kennel Club, Of New Jer'

Engaged Man Goes "Stag"

&EA6&9SS@ "4~A NVGGs SV~0
Dear Miss Fairfax:
! want to ask you q question.
Is it possible for a person to
love another too much? This
seems to be my case. am en-
gagged to a. young man whom I
love devotedly. Yet. he makes
me suffer through an almost
ungovernable jealousy.
He persists in going as a
"stag" to dances, and very
seldom dances with me.
Do you think, considering we
are engaged, that this is the
proper thing to do?
UNHAPPY.
Decidedly, it is not the proper
thing to do, If your friends
know Of your engagement. II,
for any reason, it has not been
announced, doubtless the young
man feels at liberty to attend
dances as a stag"
But it seems strange that he
should prefer to do this rather
than dance with the girl whom
he expects to marry.
No, my dear, think you
wouldn't be human if you didn't
resent this.

hater. and who, consequently,
will pay little or no attention to
me. I have known him for a
long time. being in many Of his

must keep up his reputation as
a woman hater. He seems proud
Of that.
What can I do to make him
overcome this and win his gen.
uine affection? WORRIED.

We Find Support

The Meriden Journal joins the press of the state, which finds it impossible to reconcile itself to a revision of automobile taxes that does not actually lower the amount the average motorist will pay annually. For some years now the Demo- crat has urged that the tax on gasoline be let alone. Connecticut enjoys with two other states the distinction of assessing the lowest rate of taxation on gasoline two cents. There is an additional one cent tax paid to the federal government, of which we must not lose sight.
 There have been increasing efforts made of recent years to lower the registration fees. The average fee today is about $16, higher in some cases, lower in others. The individual motorist must also pay $3 every time he takes out his personal license. Should he fail to do this one year he would be obliged to take an examination, costing $2, and then pay the $3. These fancy fig ureS have resulted in an extraordinary amount of revenue with which we build plain and fancy roads as the case may be.
 All plans for reductions in registration fees have been coupled in the past with an increase in the gas tax. The intent IS obvious. It will prevent loss in revenue in the motor vehicle department. But It is not a saving to the motorist. This one cent increase in tax would actually mean that in the course of a year he would pay more in taxes to the state than he does today. The Meriden Journal exposes this very easily. It's nothing new. It's simply what the Democrat and other papers have claimed right along. If we get reduc- tion in registrations let it be one and not merely shift in the burden from one shoulder to another.

Is This a Solution?

It may be that Mahatma Ghandi had the right theory when he advocated the scrap ping of certain types of machinery. Brem- mer Brothers of Chicago, biscuit manu- lecturers, have replaced three machines, operated by three girls, with twenty-four girls to do the same work. If Bremmer Brothers are supported by the buying pub- lie, perhaps other manufacturers will fol- low their lead.
 Machinery being inanimate is an eco- homie loss from a consumption point ot view no matter how clever as production unit. Unless provisions are made to dis tribute the benefits of machine production the humans that are displaced by it's use become an economic loss both to them selves and to the community at large.
 It is recognized that machinery used for the benefit of saving back-breaking labor is to be encouraged. But machinery that merely seeks to speed us out of job is of very, very questionable benefit. It denies millions of human beings the right to earn living because no compensating offset has been devised for their welfare.
 For the present time and for a long time in the future it will be necessary to care for many millions of people through some form of a dole system. (The name dole may be disguised under various OIner names.) Spelled any way it is as dis tasteful to the recipients as it is to those who are forced to pay the costs.
 The MIRA was set up to combat the sit uation, but seems doomed to failure, be- cause of lack of cooperation on the part of many employers. If the government con- trolled it's own monetary system, it could revise the MIRA and incorporate in it's provisions the scrapping of all unneces- sary speed-up machinery. It would be in a position to enforce the rulings by withholding financial support to those refusing to heed the rulings. A survey naturally would be in order to determine what types of machinery should be discarded.

Press Comment
A CONNECTICUT YANKEE
 (New York TimcS.)

Governor Wilbur Lucius Cross shows the characteristic Yankee caution and humor when he writes that it is not likely that shall again be candidate for governor Thus he distributes worry amon;; the seekers of his shoes. He keeps them guessing. Will he be COZ tent with three terms or won't he? He subtly reminds both the demo- crats and republicans in the Legislature that they had better behave in '35 and '36. He gives them onlyy probabilities to feed on. What could have been less likely in the long years when he was digging up all that could be known about Fielding and Sterne, and so on, than that he would ever be governor? ,
 But he is 72. How can such an ancient think of anything but nurs- ing his health and getting out at the end of his next term. Well, Connecticut is somewhat of a Land of Youth for ripe politicians. Simeon Baldwin, Mugwump in his forties, was the successful democratic candidate for governor at 70 when under the law he was eOo OIu tO De CHIeI justice, ana nc was reelected. The Hartford Courant recalls the fact that Mar GUS Holcomb, three times chosen governor by the republicans. was more than 70 when he began his first term.

Women's Driving School

More than 100 members of the Cleve- land Council of Parent Teacher Associa- tions are going to school to police ser geant of the traffic department It is a volunteer affair, but no one is playing hockey. The women are learning about safe driving as their contribution toward the general effort to stop the rising tide of traffic deaths in that section.
 At the first session they were taught' the importance of having brakes, horn and lights always in good condition and having windshield wiper that works when needed. They were taught the im- portance of obeying traffic lights and be- ing prepared to stop promptly when green changes to red instead of tearing on through. They were taught, however, to stop gradually instead of so suddenly as to skid, climb telegraph pole or break pas sengers' necks.
 Every woman who completes the course will be given careful examination and d certificate as safe driver. Such an ex- animation ought to be requirement. for getting license, as it is in many states. Until it is compulsory, drivers who put themselves through such course volun- tarily, in cooperation with traffic safety officers, are acting the part of good citizens

London Letter
BY JOSEPH GREGG, JR. United Press Staff COrrcspondent

London .(UP)-There is little room here these days, so 1t seems, for the "Dickensian" muffin men and flower girls" and some of the other picturesque street trad CTS characteristic of the metropo- lis of the past.
 The muffin men in particular are having pretty thin time of 1t just now, largely as result of the campaign now being carried on for a less noisy city. They have discovered that If they ring their small handbells in the serets they are more than likely to incur the dispieasure of the law.
 ''NOisy Instrument"
 In fact, one muffin man was charged in Westminster Police Court recently with ''using a noisy instrument-to wit, 6 handbell." ," It transpired later that the law under which the charge was made dated back to 1889. The magis- trate had no option but to warn the offending muffin man that, technically at least, he was break ingthe law, and advised him not to ring his bell again when a po- liceman was in the vicinity.
 There probably are not more than 20 or 30 muffin men left here now, although their small. tinny bells are still familiar sound in the residential back streets of the capital, particularly on cold Sundays in winter. The men who still carry = on their heads-trays of mullins covered with green baize cloth are most of them following family trade handed down from their grand fathers and great-grandfathers The bells they use today - when the police are not listening - have in most cases been heard by three generations of Londoners.
 Muffin Makers
 Only a decade or. so ago the muffin men did the baking and distributing of their own muffins. Today, the five large muffin bak- cries of London supply their muf- fins direct to retail shops while the old fashioned muffin men have to work on a free-iance basis.
 Another rapidly dwindling class of street traders are London's flower girls" They have always been known ae girls" though few can be less than 5B. Their most famous pitch used to be on tho steps of Sir Alfred Giibert's statue Of Eros" inthe middle of Picca. dlliy Circus. in the heart of the West End shopping and theatcr district. Today there are only two. or occasionally three, Of them there.
