MELON DAYS

| 4S4c4N4N LA
How many times have Kennewick
folks gone to the ice box and not
been able to get anything in or out,
because all of the space was oc-
cupied by large and bulky melon?
To solve this situation an expert
mental station has developed an
understood watermelon which will
fit compactly inside a refrigerator
and give room for other foods. And
while we are dealing with melons,
four of the southeastern states
have agreed to market and ship
only the best of their melon crop
It comes under the test of U. s.
No. 1, which is really grade A.
There will be less risk in buying
melons and is a mighty good move
on the part of the southern pro-
Queer, and relief to the melon
"thumper." OF course all of this
talk doesn't mean much If you are
fortunate enough to be able to go
out and pick your melon off Of the
vine, regardless Of its being grade
A. Or If you have a cool spring or
summer-house in which to store it.

A TRAFFIC. PROBLEM

There are few of us who drive
along the roads and highways that
do not give berth to the bicycle
rider. AS we ride back Of him,
or try to pass him, as he pedals
along, we are likely to remark. "You
never know what they are going to
do" This statement Is true and we
are wise to be unusually careful as
we encounter the bicycler. They
dart in and out, going here and
there, with scarcely wave or sign
as to their traffic intentions. It is
with good cause that we consider
them a new road problem. Folks in
Kennewick are not the only ones
affected, for the National Confer
ence on Street and Highway Safe
ty is studying the situation serious
ly. There are more riders in Am
erica than ever before, and most Of
them are boys and girls. Being so
young the law doesn't act as strict
ly with them as with automobile
drivers. Police are not apt to ar
rest youngster for riding through
red light or making q left turn
without q signal. This may sound
like an unfair complaint to young
readers, but why not consider this
type Of traffic the same as you do
the motor car? Especially when BIZ
cycles cause many accidents and
often injure pedestrians. There is
always certain danger to the cy-
clist, as well. Since judges are re-
luctant to impose fines on these
young riders, someone has made
the suggestion that the child's ia
Their be brought into court and given
a warning with regard to the haz-
yards Of this new traffic problem.

NEVER AGAIN

Philadelphia, Pa,
Cecil Patterson, the long distance
bicycle champ spent the day at
the home of his aunt after COM
plotting a journey of 81 miles from
N. Y. to Philly in the b~itterest
OF cold weather. 1t took Ii hours
10 minutes to complete the trip.
Counting detours and added mile
age to escape traffic the accurate
distance was ia miles. After
stopping 25 to 80 times during the
trip, Cecil received hot soup with
pleasure his Aunt had prepared.
When pressed for a comment he
declared, "Never again." I may try
it again in warmer weather"
Spending the week end in Bos-

ray Editor of the Boston Chronicle
it was very interesting TO hear
of his praises he extoled in behalf
of the Boston College football
stars, Chef Smith and Rollie Be-
nard the famous end and tackle
of the New England team. The Edi-
tor declared Chef was not sold to
the public in the manner of bally'
hoo like many other college stars,
but won his place in the hearts OF
thousands of New England football
lovers thro great defensive Playing
and all around ability to the team
in tight spots. A great tackle and
an asset to any team. With a better
team, Chef and Rollie would have
been q strong selection for an ALI
American berth. This boy Chef pos
seses a wonderful personality and
still growing. Next year should
find him in the peak of his form.
Rollie while not quite the bril-
liant playing end that Chef COM
mands at his position, remains one
of the strongest ends in the New
England sector. With the spirit
of Chef to guide him don't be sur
prised to see him the top ranking
end in Paul Reveries territory next
year. This may possibly be the best
race college combination on any
team in the country. Otis Gallo

important, we think. 1t foreshadows

THE BEAUTY BOX
BY VERSE WINSTON of
Northside Beauty Box
"LTPsTICK"

Regarding the application of lip
stick in general, there r several
points to remember. First Of all,
to much lipstick caked en- the lips
givel the face a cheap, garish APP
pearance. The purpose of lipstick
is to tint the lips, to highten their
own color as naturally az possible,
NOT to cover them, thus making the
face resemble a painted mask.
II is also we'll to remember that
curved lines in makeup are alwaye
moro flattering than straight ones.
On the screen # a woman has to
look hard boiled m of the
things the makeup artist does is to
paint her lips on in straight ines.
The lips must be absolutely dry
before the lipstick is applied. In
applying lip rouge start the appli-
cation of the lip rouge at the CEN
ter of the upper lip carefully bring
ing the color well out to each cor
ner, but not beyond. Press your
rouged upper lip down upon your
unrouged lip. This will give an
even, symmetrical outline for the
lower lip which may then be filled
in.
Spread the rouge evenly over
both lips with the little finger,
working from the center to the
outer orne of the uppers lip, and
from the outer corners toward the
center on your lower lip. Take care
not to run outside of the Original
outlines made by the lipstiok, so
that the lips will have a clean cut,
even contour Remove excess by
pressing the lips over a tissue by
doing that you leave only the desir-
ed amount of color on the lips.
A heavy lower lip can be made
to appear smaller by placing en-
phasis, through more color, upon
the upper lip. And by the same
token a heavy rouged lower in
contrast with a lightly rouged up
per one minimizes the defect of a
very thick upper lip, but in all cases
it is necessary to use sound judg-
mens.

foreign policy dates back to the
days of German democracy under

period, he points out, France was
harsh and unbending toward Ger

But today when she should show
resistance, France yields to every
demand made by the "fascist-brut-
alitarian regime under Hitler"
"The price of folly for France

After a summer which has pro-
longed itself far into the fall, win
ter has finally caught up with us,
and If we aren't careful, we will
find ourselves with chapped, peeling
faces and rough red hands. Icy
blasts are hard on the toughest
skins, aud none of us can face the
rayages of winter without giving
our skins some sort of protection.
Use Protective Cream
A wise and beauty-consclous
woman will never leave her house
these chilly mornings without APP
plying a protective cream to her
face before putting on her makeup.
A foundation cream will not only
protect the skin against winter
winds but has a tendency to make
the powder and rouge adhere to the
skin and thus eliminate the neces-
sity of frequent "~t0ueh-ups." A
good foundation cream will give the
skin a natural, satiny appearance
and make the powder go on more
smoothly.
1t Is we'll in the winter to apply
n slight coating of cream TO the lips
before putting on lipstick. This, too,
will serve as a protection against
the weather, make your lipstick
spread more evenly, and prevent
unattractive and painful cracking.
And, speaking of winter lipstick, be
sure that your lipstick harmonizes
not only with the richer colors OF
your winter wardrobe, but, more I'm.
portantly, with your own particular
type Of coloring. There are on the
market now ~lipsticks especially

blended for your %col0ring so use a
little care in selecting one that will
best set off your skin.
Hands Need Care
As q rule, hands come in for the
hardest treatment in cold weather.
There is always more dirt in winter
than summer and we have to wash
our hands %oftener. And soap and
water, combined with cold weather,
is an unfailing recipe for chapped
hands. Make it a rule, as long as
the cold persists, to apply a hand
cream or protective lotion to your
hands every time you wash them,
be 1t five or fifty times a day. Moth
ing detracts more from q woman's
charm than rough, red hands. Soft,
smooth hands r an invitation to
romance, but rough, cracked skin
will cool the most ardent admirer.
Play safe this winter. IL your
skin is inclined to be dry, use a good
night cream, especially designed for
dry skin to counterfeit the effect Of
wind and cold. Winter Is always
the most social time of all. Don't
let icy winds freeze your chances
for a round of gaiety.

Gayety and fun mark the sea-
sons winter sports clothes and the
new skating togs are so exciting
that they're an Incentive if you
don't skate to begin at once. Knee
length, slim-fitting and pricess
style dresses are bright and dash
sszbroideries. Inspired by the Sonia
ing with nothing too much in the
way Of contrasting trimmings and
Hen'e films, they are young, pic
kuresque and practical.
Extremely popular among these
skating clothes are the models
made up in flannel or velveteen.
Simple and long sleeved, their brief
flaring skirts have width IN the
right places so that the skater IS
net hampered in her execution of
. snrve sr spin. A particularly
fetching model is n in ~velveteen
navy blue with a neat trimming of
rs1 rickrack at the neck, pockets
and hem and q lining Of red for
she skirt. Quilting also shows up
IN skating clothes. Sometimes it
is Just a wool jacket that is quilt
ed and worn over a plan wool
skirt. Again the whole suit comes
witt this stitched treatment.
Chintz-lined quilted velveteen
snakes one of the srartest jac-
kets. 1t is matched to a short
skirt faced with chintz, which
shows when you whirl merrily on
1hs ice. Another of the newest suits
he's a little hug-me-tight jacket
arw a skirt lined with plaid taffeta.
And TO look very chic complete the
outfit with a woody hood and
sfatcAlng mlttens.
The school girl skater will be
enchanted with the jingle socks.
These socks are paired off with
matching gloves, both embroidered,
m a Tyrolean pattern. And they
have the cutest little jingle bells
attached, which sing out merrily
as you glide along the ice. Other
s~ccessoriel are ear-muffs and
knitted hoods in bright colors which
achieve a double purpose of keep
ing the ears warm and framing
the face youthfully. Needless to
say. skating is a grand exercise for
sueamlining the figure and bring
ing roses to the cheeks. So with
such ~flattering costumes as these
how could we resist the call Of the
