Gl0rifing Yourself

Among new handy purse items for the meticulously groomed wo- man are little pads of cloth satu- rated with cleansing lostion. A dozen of these are packed in a slim compact which takes up little space in a bag, and one will effectively remove all makeup and grime from face and neck.
 Also new is perfume atomizer in a smart Oriental vase with matching lid. Besides being most decorative, the vase keeps air and light away from the atomizer. It comes in black and in five bright colors with good motif.
 For college girls and those who take short but frequent trips, a cosmetic carryall, of polished alli- gator fabricoid in black, brown and red, is unbelievably handy. Filled with small jars of cleansing, night foundations and hand creams, pow der, skin tonic, eye shadaw, rouge, lipstick, comb and mirror, 1t makes packing simpler and is sure to ap- peal to those who like to have a place for everything with everything in its place.
 A famous English firm, tired of hearing women complain about husbands who snitch bath powder for their faces or like an aftershave lotion but hate to admit 1t, has had a group of men create a group of items for men. These come in pot bottles Gin pigskin color) and include after-shave lotion, hair dressing tonic, shaving soap. Severely tail- ored, the containers look anything but effenimate, and the preparations themselves are not too heavily per- fumed.
 For the youngest members of the family, there's new line of soap figures, created by Sculptor Lester Gaba for a well known soap firm Little Bo Peep is packed with three little sheep, and comic strip figure, faithfully and amusingly reproduced in soap, is to be hung around child's neck while he bathes.

 InSidiOuS Evil
 I am not talking about the frank magazine that holds up crime as a target, and recites cases to show that 1t does not pay, but the sly insidious publication that gets its poison in often under the most disarming of titles and camouflaged by innocent enough context to fool the reader until he strikes the vicious passages.
 It is all very well to say, Watch your children's reading" but with such literature every where available, parents are help less. But not quite. And 1t is not the children alone who feed on such truck. Old men, middle aged men, and the general public are being excited to crime. Yes, something should be done.

At first brush, I suspected the fellow had sent it to me as 8 facetious gesture, but after tentative application of the gadget was disposed to think 1t may have some merit. The brush has perhaps one-tenth as much bristle as tooth- brushes usually have. A step in the right direction, think.
 This new type toothbrush has one feature that even I cordially corn- mend. The part carrying the bristles Is detachable and may be sterilized in boiling water. A great deterrent in mouth hygiene, to my mind, is the unsanitary condition of a tooth- brush that has been used more than once since it was sterilized or made absolutely clean. But perhaps I am too squeamish about this. Many peo- pie who purport to be sticklers for cleanliness and would not think of using @ towel or @ wash cloth more than three weeks without resteril- izing (laundering) consider 1t per- fectly sanitary to use the same old toothbrush for months and months without ever sterilizing it.
 The detachable bristle part of this new type toothbrush resembles the special attachments the dentor uses when he is cleaning and polishing your teeth. The bristle are extraor- dinary fine and firm and in such compact form that they easily reach the grooves and intetstices that or- dinary brushing fails to reach. The inventor does not claim the new brush will remove fixed tartar-you must go to your dentor periodically for that anyway. But when your dentor has cleaned your teeth, the

X A magazine was hanGeG me thlS ! summer without comment l opened it innocently and began to read at random. In ten minutes, I sought my hostess and asked, Where did you get this?"
 ' T thought you would be inter-

 Done about it!" cried. Where " Is Q government that permits such x issues?" I cried. With all the sex crimes driving mothers frantic, can't such a sheet as this be crushed?

 But said, "Yes, youl Don may he able to take 1t and leave 1t, but you know very well that this sort of tripe will weigh heavily with terrible number of boys who are toc anxious to gloat.

Jim hasn't been much in the limelight, chiefly
because presswise Steve Early and veteran Marvin
H. Mcintyre have been the White House Secre-
taries who handled publicity In fact, Steve Early
has been the chief contact man between the
President and press, and, through the press, with
the nation. Mcintyre, in many respects the
smoothest of the triumvirate has often admitted
Early'S superiority as press secretary.
But since Thursday, with Mcintyre on vaca.
ton and Early in Washington Jim Roosevelt
has been in full command as the Presidents press
contact man.
Personally, Jim is an attractive chip of the old
block Tall like his father-he measures six feet
four inches unshod-he is lean and fit, and his
skin bronzed as result of the outdoor exercise
he manages to get despite long office hours. He
laughs readily in this respect also resembling F.
D. r. whose infectious mirth frequently has
turned the tide in his favor. Sunny Sonny Jim is
prematurely bald but the effect is to give his fore
head which is furrowed whenever he concentrates
on problem, more intellectual appearance.
Aides Glue Him Approval
Even before he joined the President as a work
ing secretary on this fishing cruise, Jim had the
honest off-therecord, approval of more impor-
tant aides of the President.
Jill WILL oo' dlI rIgnC, was Cne consensus OF
the White House office staff, frankly expressed
over refreshments to this correspondent. HE
has patience. He has good sense. He has already
taken a considerable load from the shoulders of
Mac and Steve"
The opinion of all seven reporters on this trip
favors Jim as conner" They are all expert
enced newspapermen, undominated and unyield-
ing to social Establishments. They know he has
made mistakes and will make more. Even before
this is published, they may row with him. But
SO far Jim hasn't shown himself in any manner
unworthy of earning his $4,000 per annum.

And Babe
To Liue

fed poison to her two-weeks-old
baby and then took a draught her
self, and doctors say both will live.
The mother, Mrs. Ethel Law.
son, is in Gallinger Hospital, while
the baby is in Children's Hospital.
Mrs. Lawson, %, wife of a dis
abled veteran of the Marine Corps,
told police she decided to end her
life "for the best" and decided to
take the baby with her so he would
not be a burden to her husband.
The couple also have a three
year-old daughter, Jewel, who is at
home with the father.
Mrs. Lawson told police she
feared she and the baby were too
much of strain on her husband,
who is unable to do any heavy
work.
