Clarifying
Yourself
BY Alicia Hart
NEA Service STAR Writer

NEA Service Stan Writer
The girl who learns at an early
age to appreciate the Importance OF
meticulous grooming in relation to
clothes as well as personal cleanli-
ness and daintiness, is more than
likely to be chic at twenty-five.
4 II, between the ages Of IL and
II, she Is taught to put her dress
on a hanger the moment she taxes
1t of, to brush 1t carefully before
wearing 1t again, to keep frocks and
suits neatly pressed, shoes shined
and hats brushed, she will have
progressed a long way on the road
to being attractively smart by the
time she Is nineteen.
There's no reason why a girl OF
high-school age cannot spend o
couple Of hours one night a week
shining her shoes, using a bit OF
cleaning fluid on the inside bands
Of her hats and the inside OF fur
collars, repair broken shoulder
straps or replacing worn shoe
strings with fresh ones and mani
curing her nails. AS matter OF
fact, she'll probably enjoy doing
such simple tasks. But, whether
she enjoys them or not, If she does
them regularly, she'll be forming ex-
cellent habits instead Of bad ones.
In addition to her tooth brushes,
hair brush, comb and manicure kit,
every young girl ought to have her
own bottle of hand lotion, a light,
softening night cream and an anti
perspirant or deoderant. Her room
certainly should be equipped with
a clothes brush, shoe trees and hat
stands. The more she Is encouraged
to use these regularly, the fewer
grooming problems she'll have later
on.
Also, while you are teaching your
daughter the importance Of clean
illness and attention to details OF
perfect grooming, teach her TO
stand, walk and sit correctly. Unless
her posture is perfect, she won't
look well in her clothes-no matter
how smartly cut and spotlessly neat
they are. Don't just urge her TO
throw back her shoulders. Tell her
how to hold her backbone straight,
chest high, stomach In with pelvic
bone titled forward. Otherwise. her
stomach will protrude and her hips,
appear wider than they really are.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
CONTROLLED AMERICANS

with capital under control we have nine-tenthS
of the socialist apparatus, said Lenn, the Russian,
says Nations Business, which points to the RooSe-
welt administrations control of American earnings
and savings Government is also taking over con-
troll of wages and hours of work. 1t is controlling
agricultural products. 1t sets the prices of food
products, from wheat to rice, from meat to pota-
toes
1--WE may wake up some morning to find life on
the American plan completely changed. The dis
covery will be made to no accompaniment of goose
stepping pomp and circumstances. We shall have
been beaten, not through test of courage but by
our own apathy and Indifference"
Would that these expressions by Nations Bust
ness could be refuted but the truth is that Amerl-
cans are controlled by the Roosevelt administration
as never before have they been controlled. Their
congress has given the president sweeping authorl-
ty in many fields 1t has surrendered its own rights
1t has done the presidents bidding in spending and
in regulation. 1t has permitted the established or
der to change.
Not yet have Americans been stripped of all
their freedom. but the encroachments have been
significant Business, industry and agriculture are
without the freedom that was theirs. Steadily, the
Roosevelt administration has gone from one OBJ
jective to another, losing only two. One of these
was the presidents scheme Of packing the supreme
court of the United States and that other was his
scheme for reorganzing the federal government.
He did not show his hand in the antilynching bill,
but it is commonly said that here he suffered de-
feat He won partial victory in the wage-and-
hour bill
Not yet are Americans controlled as the Rus
SLAMS the Italians and the Germans are, but an
important start has been made in the RECOMMENDATION
of the people Unless congress changes It's attitude
at it's next session, the Roosevelt administration
will continue to go forward with its purpose OF
controlling the American people. The country IS
saddled with schemes Matched by radicals who call
themselves liberals These radical advisers are not
letting up and there is sign that the president
will turn to more conservative advisers.
Government is medding with the affairs of Am
orleans in many fields. 1t is constantly expanding
its meddling Repeated warnings have fallen on
deaf ears Americans do not seem to care-Ihe

MORE JAYPEE JUSTICE

The case of the unnamed magistrate at Sanford,
uncovered by Chief of Detectives Frank Little
John is another choice piece of proof that the Jay
pee system is rotten to the Two boys, wanted
here for storebreaking. fled to Florida were re-
turned and upon their return told the chief that
at Sanford they were taken from freight tram
by Sanford COD and hailed before the Bridlegoose
who proceeded to assess them $13. For ST of that
he took the watch which of them had IN his
possession and, exactng d promise that they d
send him the rest let them proceed. But when the
chief began to make inquiries from the Sanford
police the fellow hastily called up, promised to
return the watch, and asked for the boys names,
explaining that he did not have record"
What he has coming TO him is plain enough But
the removal from office and the failing of an lndl-
vidual caught red-handed is not going really to
cure the case Some of the magistrates in the state
are honest men, of course, and some of them are
more or less capable of discharging the functions
of their office But the power of appointment has
been SO abused by both the Legislature and the
governors office that it is fan guess that the
majority of them are unfit on the one count or the
other.
If the system is to be perpetuated at all, then,
obviously, certain minimum changes are called for
[
sions so as to start clean from scratch; (2) the
adoption of popular election, as to stop the APP
pontment of illiterates and scoundrels as reward
for political services and to give their poten
tial victims at least some chance to insure them
selves fair treatment CD the setting up of, say, a
high school education and an elementary knowl-
edge of the law as minimum educational require
ments; ca the establishment of character Tor
intelligence and decency acceptable, say, to su-
perior court Judge; 50 the drastic reduction OF
their numbers; and (6) the abolition of the fee
system, which is the greatest single source of trou-
BILE.
But perhaps the system ought to be discarded al
together as an anachronism no longer workable A
system of small claims courts, regularly organized
as part of the judiciary, would probably do the
job infinitely better and cost the state less in the
long run.-Charlotte News

HOW ABOUT A JURY?

The Ford Motor company has been convicted
before the National Labor Relations board OF vio-
lations of the Wagner Act, and has been ordered
to rehire some SO CLIO unionists.
Indications are that Ford will refuse to recog-
nize the NLRB as court of competent jurisdiction
and will take it's case into the real courts which are
free from the bias which is bound to exist in an
organization which picks its Judges referees and
examiners from the ranks of lawyers actively iden-
tilted with the CLIO movement
Ford's appeal to the courts may decide whether
or not this country is going to be judged by the
executive or the judicial branch of government
Some of us are still so old fashioned that We
think the judiciary ought to do the judging and
that trial by jury still has its place in the American
system-Anderson Independent

SAVING THE COTTON FARMER
SAYS The Texas Weekly:

Says The Texas Weekly:
THE cotton year ends with new crisis,
and the new deal managers of American
agriculture still offer the old cures
The outline of The Weekly is too long
to be reproduced here, but it shows clearly
how radical socialistic political manipula-
ton has practically destroyed the South's
world market for cotton. The result is a
carry-Over into the new cotton year which
will exceed the new crop in number OF
bales Around half of this carry over is in
the control and ownership of the federal
government planners and manipulators
The government is stuck with more than
Six million bales of cotton, in world that
has cotton carry-over in excess of world
consumption last year, with an American
crop almost as large as this cOuntry's car
ry-Over coming in this season.
And all the socialiStic planners can do
is founder and flop around and go right
on spending money hijacked from the fed
eral treasury to make the cotton growers
believe the raw dealers are their friends
and are trying to help them.
The Democratic platform pledge of 1882
to take tariff action which would have
maintained an open world market for
southern cotton has been discarded and
forgotten in Washington. Southern cotton
growers have been delivered with all their
interests to be hOg-tied by gang Of radi-
Gals who never raised bale of cotton
(many of them never saw bale OF cot
tom and whose practical knowledge OF
business, or anything else requiring the
exercise of common sense, is as cOnspicu-
Gus by its absence as SnOwballS in hades.

ANOTHER CONFEDERATE VETERAN
PASSES ON

AS far as The TimeS-News is able to
ascertain from available records, the death
of L. j. Ledbetter reduces the number of
surviving Confederate veterans in Hender-
son county to six.
Mr.. Ledbetter was 81 years of age and
until very recent years always appeared to
be unusually active for his years. He al
ways evidenced the spirit and courage
characteristic of the old Confederates, who
surrender only to the grim reaper, and
never quit the fight until the wielder of the
scythe beckons.
This veteran was genial, friendly man,
who will be missed by his family and
friends.

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

Russia may nave been warned Oh
such likelihood.
2. That Russia desired to test
japanese reaction and find out
how weak or strong japanese re-
sistance would be.
3. That Russia, believing the
point of maximum Japanese
weakness may have been reached
prefers to strike before japan can
consolidate her position in China
At any rate, Russian troops
moved into previously unoccupied
territory of great strategic value
and Japanese fought to drive them
off. The Chungkufeng hills domi-
nate Jap2n's Tumen railroad,
which runs far into Manchukuo
from the important new Korean
port of Rashin. The RaShin-Tu-
men routr is JapG1's shortest
route for getting troops and sup
plies into Manchukuo.
MENTION of the alleged treaty
-'I with China on which Russia
bases claim to the disputed terri
tory brings skeptical grins from
State Department officials, who
never heard of such treaty. They
haven't even a map bearing the
name Chungkufeng - and they
have many exhaustive maps. TO
japanese questioning existence
of the treaty, Russia says: ASK
the Chinese" Japan, warning on
China, won't.
One of the less sound
ing theories circulated in Wash
ington says Japan attacked Rus
slams in a major engagement at
behest of Germany, as a prelude
TO a widely-feared German lnva-
sion of Czechoslovakia this month.
While renewed Berlin verbal
blasts against the CzechS might
back up this theory, cagey dip
lomats here say Japan wouldn't
stick her neck out. just because
Germany asked her. But they say
many japanese militarists would
take on both Russia and China.
