Beauty
Formulas and
SUGGESTIONS
Rv DONNA GRACE

By DONNA GRACE
Today we are giving you a
few suggestions and formulas
to paste in your beauty scrap
book. Here is one for freckles
and tan:
Lime water ......2 ounces
BoraX ...........10 10 grains
Oil of Sweet
Almonds ......2 ounces
Oil of Neroli ......6 drops
Mix the lime water and oil
of sweet almonds; then add the
borax and after shaking it thor
oughly let it stand until dis
solved. Then strain and add
the neroli oil. This lotion may
be sponged on once or twice a
day. Massage with tissue
cream if the skin is dry.
ANOTHER FRECKLE
AND TAN LOTION
Borax ...........1 dram
Sugar ............2 drains
Mix thoroughly; then add
two ounces of strained lemon
juice and let it stand for a day
or two. Before using, add two
ounces of rose water. Sponge
on the face and arms several
times a day.
The following is an old-time
freckle treatment used by our
grandmothers:
l cup of sour milk
i tablespoonful Of freshly
grated horse radiSh.
Let it stand overnight and
use to sponge on the face sew
eral times day.
Your lipstick will stay on bet
ter if you will put on a light
application; then powder the
lips and apply another coating
of lipstick. When paste rouge
is dry, rub a little cleansing
cream on the cheeks and then
remove it with a tissue before
applying the rouge. The cream
makes the skin plia ble and
slightly oily and the paste rouge
will spread easily.
When the hands have been
thoroughly scrubbed with soap
and water, they should be rinsed
with clear water before drying.
Add a few drops Of lemon to
the rinse water as it will cut
the soap film and act as a mild
bleach.
When there is any foot ten
derness due to corns or shoe
pressure, try to go to a chiropo-
dist for treatment. When this
is not possible, paint the af-
fected parts with iodine to re-
lieve the soreness.
DRY SHAMPOO
A nice dry shampoo may be
done quickly by covering the
hair and scalp with the beaten
whites Of two eggs. Leave on for
five minutes, then remove with
a firm-briStled hairbrush. Con-
tinue to brush until the hair is
dry and fluffy.
You may have my ShampoOS,
Foot Treatment, Makeup Chart
or Freckle Treatment, If you
wish. There is no charge, but
send a stamped, Self-addreSsed
envelope for each treatment and
address Donna Grace, Beauty

LOCAL FORD MEN EXPECT
BEST YEAR IN HISTORY

Ford dealers here and in all parts
of the United States, riding the
crest Of one of the most successful
sales years in their history in 1885,
are confident of even greater public
acceptance of the Company's 1886
Ford va, B. B. GRAPHICAL, manager
of the Ashe Motor Co., said today.
ALREADY over 100000 cars Of the
one million Ford V-8 cars which
Mr.. Henry Ford prophesied would
be produced and sold in 1885, have
been made-and by next month the,
entire million will be completed,
marking one of the most impressive
accomplishments in the history of
the automotive industry" said Mr..
GRAPHICAL.
ITO achieve this unprecedented
production" Mr.. GRAPHICAL stated,
Ford Motor Company was requir-
ed to launch earlier this year a
plant modernization and construc-
ton program which affected every
department of the industry. The
program, first estimated at cost of
$20,000,00O, will cost more than
$30,000,O00 before it is completed
near the turn of the year to accom-
modate the swing to peak produc-
ton schedules on the new 1886
Ford.

ITALIANS HALTED
IN MAKALE DRIVE
BECAUSE OF RAINS

When it rains in Ethiopia, it rains,
and an Italian army of $4,000
soldiers have halted in their de-
termined drive on an important
Ethiopian city, Makale, because of
one of these African downpours.
The leaders of the army, however,
plan to make use of this enforced
halt and spend their time in gather
ing up food supplies and other
commodities from the rear of the
marching army and to complete
roads over which they have travel
ed.
Reports from Rome say that:
Mussolini, Of Italy, and Drummond,
of England, are making some prog
ress with peace talk and that each
have been reported as being willing
to make concessions in order to-
reach that end.

NORTH STATE MAY GET
REFUGE FOR WILD BIRDS

: Establishment of an inland mi
gratory wild fowl refuge in Pied
mont North Carolina appeared
likely this week.
John D. Chalk, State game and
inland fisheries commissioner, said
he had received petitions urging
that Norwood lake, $4,000, acre
storage basin of the Carolina Pow
er and Light company, be desig-
mated as refuge.
Chalk said officials of the COM
pany have approved the idea and
are anxious that steps be taken for
the protection of the game birds.
Norwood lake, one of the largest
of the power lakes in the Piedmont
section of the State, was the result
of the construction across the Pee
Dee river in Montgomery county of
the Tillery dam by the power COM
pany. Petitions were received from
residents of Montgomery, Stanly,
Cabarrus and adjoining counties.

WAR AGAINST FIRE

According to the Industrial
News Review, which makes it q
business to check up on all
phases of economic life today
the United States may remain
neutral in the Italo-Ethiopian
war, but in the war that we are
forced to wage continuously
against fire, we cannot remain
neutral.
This war against fire has been
going on for many years. 1t will
never end completely-but good
soldiery can win many valuable
victories. During its course, the
enemy has caused destruction run
ming into the billions of dollars
and many thousands of lives.
The war exists because of indi-
vidual carelessness, individual ig-
norance, individual lethargy. Fire
prevention is almost entirely an in
dividual matter. It is up to each
property-owner, each manager of a
business, each farmer. The best
building and inspection laws are
impotent in the face of public in
difference-th finest fire depart
ment can do relatively little, if the
public refuses to cooperate.
It is not only a duty but a privi-
1ege to enlist in the war against
fire. And the duties are simple.
Learn what causes fire, and how
fire may be prevented. Then apply
that knowledge-today, tomorrow,
every day in the year. Fix that
faulty wiring-and have it done by
an experienced electrician. Check
that old furnace, now that the cold
season is upon you. Throw away
those old rags and newspapers and
magazines that you have stacked in
the attic and basement-and that
you will never use. Store that gaso-
line or benzine in approved, safe
containers. And remember that the
place for matches and cigarettes is
the ash tray-not the rug, the bed,
or the garage floor.
We can fight fire successfully.
During the last few years substan-
tial progress has been made, and
the loss is now well under the
$500, O00,0 900 a year level established
not so long ago. That progress
should serve to remind us how
much more remains to be done
and how easy it is to achieve def
mite results once we really 60 after
them.

ANOTHER ARMISTICE DAY
TO BE CELEBRATED

AS November II again makes
its appearance, we pause to see
what steps we have made to-
ward strengthening the peace
of the world since that Novem-
Der day in 1918 when the ma
tons that had been at each
others threats in history's
bloodiest and most involved
war agreed to lay down their
arms, return home, and begin
on the long and tedious task of
rebuilding all that had been so
ruthlessly laid waste.
The picture before us today
is only too sad reminder that
we have not gone as far as we
had promised ourselves that we
would go since that day of JOY
and gladness seventeen years
now past. And we are forced to
realize that human life is of
little consequence when greed
for power and possessions takes
root in the hearts and minds of
human beings.
Europe is trembling on the
very brink of what holds every
possibility of being an even
more desperate and terrible
war than the World War and
the affairs of the world have
become so involved with inter-
national trade and internation-
al relations that should Europe
enter into actual war, it is only
a matter of conjecture as to
! whether Uncle Sam would be
able to keep out in spite of our
unwillingness to get entagled.
Italy, driven by the greed for
conquest and further world
power, is thoughtlessly, yet
knowingly, endangering the
peace of the world by her DELHI
crate invasion of Ethiopia. Eng
land and France are trying to
keep peace and at the same
time chastise Italy for her ac-
tons This is not the best way
to foster friendly feelings be-
tween Italian leaders and
| French and English leaders.
Should Italy subdue and claim
the rich lands of Ethiopia, her
future policies might and more
| than likely would hold ele-
ments of further wars for gain
| since Mussolini's taste of power
is not apt to make him more
humble but rather more arro-
CANT.
German leaders are still
Smarting under the blot of de-
feat and those who know say it
is only a matter of time until
they will begin to raise trouble.
AS we ponder on the many
angles and sides of the war pic
ture before us this November
II, 1885, we are wont with re-
call with deepest reverence the
old Latin proverb
cit is the province of kings to
bring war about, but is only in
the province of God to end it"
