which shall be suppressed.
1t seems to me that anything
may be hoped from a species that
produced Socrates, Buddha, Je-
sus. Edison, Lincoln, Joan dare
and St. Teresa.
So when you hear a man say
that human nature can not
change put him down as an ignor-
ant liar What, in fact, does such
a statement imply? Many things,
the worst of which are noted
quickly.
1t means that improvement is
not possible in man't earthly
state; that there is no such thing
as heroism or nobility or unself-
iSh goodness, and that virtue, JUS
tice and mercy are not worth
struggling for. Such a theory
doomS mankind to everlasting
degradation, to perpetuate malig-
nant strife with his fellows, to
eternal hell.

4 WOn1an:S Viewpoint
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

IN a poem too few will see, John
4 Daily defines human nature.
When We use the term, he re-
minds us, We invariably do so with
such differences as these: MO
nopOlies, Mitchell, Kreuger, Ward
Bosses, Pontius PLATE and Judas
IScariOt."
But how then shall we classify
the following. he asks: Socrates,
the beatitudes, women and chill
dren first, Einstein, Noguchi, NAL
ice toward none, Gandhi, Eugene
Debs and the Titanic musicians
who played until the ocean closed
over their heads?" Do these, too,
not represent much maligned hui
man nature?
Certainly it would be wrong to
deny that it is exemplified in no
bic as well as in bad man, in
heroic as well as in base deeds.
The good qualities We possess,
quite as much as the evil ones,
are part Of US. They also be-
long in that all-encOmpassing
definition of human nature.
What disasters we have worked
upon ourselves by the idea that
man is unalterably, irrevocably
evil What beauty and excellence
we have missed because we take
our forSt traits as a natural heri-
tage and our best ones as a rare
manifestation Of some heavenly
grace which marks us for an early
transition into Paradise!
The nature of man can be what
man wills it to be. It remains
for us to decide which part of our
dual selves shall be cultivated.

BY Alicia Hart
NEA Service staff Writer

In this age Of excellent hand To-
tons, punice stone, rubber gloves
and bland but effective soaps, every
woman can have smooth and lovely
hands.
No longer is it necessary to use
harsh soaps in order to get the
dishes or the clothes clean. There
are all sorts Of soap powders and
cakes of soap which do their work
just as effectively without making
the hands Of the worker red and
rough.
No woman who keeps house should
be without pair Of rubber gloves.
Put them on when you start your
mornings tasks and don't remove
them until the last trace of dust
has been wiped away and the last
dish placed on the cupboard shelf.
They may seem awkward at first
but you'll get used to them, and
what a boon they are to the girl
who wants her hands to stay young
and beautiful.
A bottle of hand lotion is an alb
solute necessity. Why not keep one
on your dressing table or in the
bathroom and a second one in the
kitchen? Massage the lotion into
your hands and wrists each time
after you have washed them.
Remember that a piece of lemon
will remove discoloration on your
hands. And tissue cream, massaged
into them at night, will do much to
keep them soft and smooth.

Other Experiences Compensate
There are women who have suf-
fered great hardships from marry
ing dissolUte and indispensable
men They have seen their security
swept away by nothing but the
shiftlessnesS Of husbands who were
unreliable
They have spent hours of worry
over the failure of a husband to
turn up at the appointed time when
the charming fellow was simply
having another round of drinks at
the club. But sometimes these
women have had other experiences
which more than made up for the
neglect and lack of security in their
married lives.
To be married to a man who lives
dashingly and dangerously is an eX-
perienCe for which many bored
wives would gladly trade their whole
sane, tranquil future. Having the
kind of husband who suddenly says,
Pack up We're going to Honolulu
tonight" brings an element Of suS-
pense and gayety into life which no
pedestrian plodder could supply.
And the wife who can truthfully
say, Never a dull moment is not,
