People are getting awfully
alarmed. about their children
learning Communism in school.
Well, maybe not Communism. but
something "forninst the govern
ment.
Effie's textbook on philosophy
OF government may be called "Po-
litical Economy" Perhaps 1t
compares oligarchies to dictator
ships and autocracies to republics.
Despotism Is explained as well as
MARKHAM abstract theory, and the
more up-to-date Trotskyism, Fas-
cism and NaZi-ksm.
It contains a little more than
our old histories with their rec
ords of various experiments and
revolutions. This newer book
brings the upsets of sick world
to date. We used to study about
Nero's insanities and Marie An
toinete's fate, and Caesars wars,
and oliver Cromwell and his
Round Heads, and take it in our
stride. Governments rose and
fei-that was that.

simpler Routines Keep You
Locking Good.

Written for MIRA Service
This is the time of year when
simple beauty routines suffice. The
warm breezes do not dry out your
skin as did the cold winds of last
winter. The afternoons you spend
in the sunshine tend to keep you
more healthy and therefore much
better looking. You can put in q
minimum amount of hours in front
of the mirror and just let nature
do the rest.
Substitute a bi-weekly game of
golf of some other outdoor sport
for the usual setting-up exercises.
Ride q horse, swim or play tennis
to get hid Of that excess weight on
stomach and hips. Don't overdo,
of course, but keep out in the sun
shine as much as possible.
You can use more cold lotions
and fewer heavy creams. Be sure,
on hand and to apply it whenever
you expect to spend good deal of
time in hot sunshine. Cuticle oil
and hand lotions are necessities,
too. Active sports are good for
your figure, but htey certainly go
long way toward making your
hands rought and ugly. If you
want to be as attractive in q chif-
fon evening dress as you are on
the green or astride horse, use
hand lotions and preparations to
keep cuticle soft several times q
day.
Home bleaches will come In
handy, and they are xextremely
simple to use. Try lemon juice on
discolored elbows, knees and an
kles. Experiment with fresh to-
mato juice or the liquid from
cucumber rinds that have been
soaked in water overnight to see
which is best for your face and
throat. If you put lemon juice on
your face, be sure to dilute it half
and half with water.

The association points out that

On the basis of 1884 consumption

Good LIGHTING
MEANS SAFETY
Electrical Expert Points to
Danger of Faulty
Adjustment.

"Cross-eyed cars" automobiles
with their headlights out Of line,
create a constant menace to safety
and cause great many accidents
which might be prevented.
Edmond Webb, automotive cleo
trical engineer, called attention to
this menace to safety in explaining
how motorists can make certain that
they are obtaining maximum light
ing, without causing trouble for
others on the road.
Proper aiming Of headlamps is
an important, yet often overlooked
safety measure" he said Thou
sands of motorists are driving cars
with the headlamp beams crossing
each other or aimed too high or too
low. They are unaware Of this con-
dition.
Automobile headlights should be
aimed perfectly straight ahead. The
beams should be horizontal with the
'hot-spot' or brightest portion of the
lamp. They should not be per-
mitted to rise or fall after leaving
the lamp"
AS an electrical expert, Mr.. Webb
supervises tests and development
work on headlights for Plymouth
motor cars. He is in charge of the
photometric or light laboratory at
the Chrysler motors engineering
laboratories.
Adjusting the lights Of modern
automobile requires only a few min
utes and may save hours of time and
thousands of dollars in hospital and
repair bills" he said. Competent
automobile dealers and service sta
tons are equipped to aim the lights
properly, but the average motorist
can do it himself with the aid Of a
wrench and a piece of white paper
tackled on his garage wall"
