McCoy's first field army were flung against an imaginary black expedi- tionary force on the west bank of the Tauton river, near Brockton The attack came after the enemy, who have pressed steadily forward from the southeastern Massachusetts coast in their attack on l2 eastern states and the District of Columbia, had entrenched along the river bank awaiting achievements. Advance troops of the first army were sup ported by an intensive artillery bombardment.
 Initial Offensive
 This was the initial offensive launched by the first army. Its 18th Brigade, which bore the brunt of a weeks fighting, had been pushed back relentlessly as invading troops captured New Bedford, Tauton and Brockton in their march on Boston and other industrial centers.
 At general headquarters, 37l regu' lar army officers. national guards men and reserves, aided by off cers of eastern staets from Mainl to Georgia, were busy with map and plans directing the mock war.
 No shots have been fired, but thu war game problems have placed en. emy forces in the shadow of Wor. cester. Now, under the direction ot Ma jor- General Fox Conner, staff officers are attempting to direct an adequate offensive that will defeat the mythical invader.

Lovely Skin
Must Have
Right Care
Important to Preserve
It's Glow and
Texture.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

RIGHT through the ages it has
remained woman's most alluring
attribute clear, flawless. firm COM
plexion. The features matter far less
than the quality Of the complexion,
the f1awlessness OF the skin. Hair
that frames the face colorfully and
becomingly only serves to focus more
attention on the face which means
that the skin is all the more noticed.
ing excuses, may be forgotten in face
of lovely, lovely skin. But it is a
decided shock to see blemished skin
topping a perfect figure.
Here are some things to remember
for your skins sake. Know the type
of skin that is yours and know
exactly what you need to keep it
always lovely to look at. Remember
that the right treatment can work
wonders, the wrong treatment will
bring more woe with 1t. And the
wrong treatment may be the very
treatment that Cousin EN- is using
with such success, the treatment that
the most universally acclaimed screen
star swears by, the treatment that
even your mother or sister finds right
for her. In other words. your skin is
a law unto itself So study 1t and
never mind any other.
Before renewing makeup, cleanse
the skin thoroughly. 1t will take but
q minute, you'll feel fresher, your skin
will look clearer and makeup will go
on smoother. Use soap and water or
cream and skin tonic or q liquid
cleanser but do remove every bit Of
stale makeup and with 1t any surface
dust or CRIME.
Use q foundation If ycl can man
age it mean II you have the
time and have mastered the knack Of
applying the foundation smoothly.
That isn't difficult. Practice makes
perfect.
Try to learn to apply cream rouge,
too. 1t is 50 much mors satisfactory
as a foundation rouge than the cake
rouge It gives a more natural glow
and color to the skin. it lasts longer.
Powder over that and then q dab Of
the cake rouge as the final gesture.
Learn to powder properly. Never
rub. Pat or fluff it on very gener-
ouSly. Makeup experts will tell you
to use plenty Of powder-frst, but
that doesn't mean that you end up
that way. Pat it on. as much as pos
sible, then smooth off the excess with
a powder blending brush or soft
swansdown puff or pad Of cotton.
II your nose persists in shining
look to the root Of the trouble and
correct 1t. Your diet may be too bur-
dened with excess sweets and starches
Also use an anti-shine liquid. The
"correct-the-cause" advice goes double
If there are blemishes. And use one
Of the splendid acne lotions on the
market that are corrective and at the
same time serve as makeup base. If
there are lines. the darker the makeup
the less noticeable they'll be.

Manners
of the
Moment

OURS Is no doubt q generation
ridden with hypochondria.. There's
probably nothing that can bring a
quicker rift between friends or mates
than q difference Of opinion about
pet remedies. One believes that he
has been saved from the sanitarium
by q fizz water. And another thinks
that the only reason she has had but
two colds this Winter instead of her
usual five Is because she has taken
her daily dose of cod, liver oil.
When the fizz water boy starts to
explain to the cod liver oil girl that
probably the real reason she has only
had two colds this Winter is because
the Winter is only half over. then
the trouble begins. The cod liver oil
girl tells the fizz water boy that he
has q patent medicine mind, and
that he really ought to get a voodoo
man to say Fee. Fl, Fo, Fun" over
him. 1t would do him just as much
good as the fizz water. Then the fur
flies for fair. And If it is a married
couple you tremble for their future.
The only way to avoid these riffs
is never to let the opposition see the
bottle which contains your own pet
remedy. It's the sight Of the bottle
that always starts people off. For
a married couple screen ought to
do nicely-with one side dedicated to
his pet poison and the other to hers.
