How do your nails look, pretty
lady? Are they polished and
glistening, or do they look as if
you had been digging in the flower
bed with them? After all, your
nails are important, you know, so
why treat them as if they were
stepehildren? 1t is so inexpensive
and takes 80 little time to keep
them shiny and pink-tipped!
If you will notice the sweet,
young things land some not so
young) who go a-journeying to
loop offices every morning, you
will see very few pairs of hands
without well-groomed nails, and
yet these office workers are some
of the busiest of busy ladies. If
you are housewife, keep a little
bottle of hand lotion right near the
kitchen sink, so that the very min
ute you take your hands out of
water, you can smooth a few drops
on. This beauty ritual, in addition
to complete home manicure one
morning a week, will keep your
hands and nails in ship-shape
form. Then, too, if you gently push
the cuticle with the towel every
time you take your hands out of
water, you will save the trouble of
having to remove it when you give
yourself your manicure.

Don't let it get on your nerves.
Once the children have gone to
school let them stay off your mind

The most simple and inexpensive

it is the favorite of many women

TO the regular beauty parlor treat
ment. First cleanse your face
thoroughly. A good soap and
warm water scrubbing after going
over the facial upholstery with a
cleansing cream. Rinse off the
suds with luke warm, not hot,
water. And rinse good, my dear.
Take a towel and ring it out Of
warm water, apply it several times
to face, and then dash on cold
water. Follow that with an ice
rub, piece of ice wrapped in cot
ton gauze will do the trick. Then
beat up the white of an egg until
it is nice and frothy. Apply to
face with knife. Let dry into a
mask, then wash off. This is the
most popular home facial there is,
according to the ladies whose bust
ness it is to beautify other ladies.

PLAN HOLLYWOOD CENSORSHIP.
Threats Of Boycott Bring Drastic
Changes In Film Colony.

HOLLYWOOD. Calf. July IL LP).-
Motion picture producers, demanding
the freedom of expression accorded
publishers and their kinSmen Of the
stage, face censorship boards in z
States and 1873 cities-45 per cent of
their profit territory.
Every foreign country, without an
exception, known to Hollywood, also
has censorship.
And now Hollywood, confronted
with the severest form Of censorship
ever devised--boycotting-is In the
midst of its greatest battle. The
threats have become so ominous
that Hollywood has decided to go
in for censorship at home, before the
public has a chance to criticize its
new pictures.
In some quarters in Hollywood it
Is believed that the industry's answer
to the reform elements will result
In the abolition of all censor boards,
in this country at least, if future
pictures are as pure as the Office of
Will H. Hays promises.
The movie capitals greatest argu-
ment against censor boards is that
they are inconsistent and non-con-
formative. Pennsylvania may cut a
scene from one picture and leave a
similar sceen in another. Virginia
does not object to the same scenes
which Ohio orders deleted. Chicago
objects to references to gangsters and
kidnapers; Dallas, Tex; Portland.
oreg- and Providence, R. l., usually
