Where Chinese Launched Great Offensive
 To Turn Tide Of SinO- Japanese Conflict

Fighting with vicious determin- ati0n against the Japanese pincer movement in southern Shantung province, Chinese armies are striving to take advantage of what appears to be their best chance to turn the tide of the war.
 As indicated by the map at left, Chinese forces are attacking to- ward the north in an effort to diminish the area now controlled by the Japanese tthe shaded pOr- tions of the map).
 Chinese troops were reported massing for major attack on Tsinan, rich silk and glassware manufacturing city, and street fighting already was in progress in the suburbs.
 Farther south, Japanese were barTicading themselves in Yihsien, where Nipponese troops retreated after suffering their greatest de- feat of the war at Taierhchwang.
 Although denying any serious reverses in the area, Japanese were rushing fresh troops to Shantung province along rail lines, indicated in the map, from Tsingtao, on the Yellow Sea, and southward from Peiping, Tientsin and TechOw.
 Chinese airplanes have sought to bomb the railroads, partly to prevent orderly retreat by Jap anese and partly to halt move ment troops,

Sullen Bows
Require a
Doctor
This Type Should
Be Dealt With
Indirectly.
By ANGELO PATRI.

Here is boy. IA years old, so ugly
when Is he at home that the whole
family are distressed. He tells his
sisters that he hates all girls, and
them in particular. He bullies his
4-year old brother until he cries. He
won't go to the games: he won't go
to any party; he just scowls and grunts
and bullies his way along. In school
his face becomes scarlet and he
barely speaks above whisper when
the teacher calls on him to recite.
Nobody likes him. His father and
mother are sorry for him, but they
are more than sorry for the other
children. I'm going to be cow boy
and ride and shoot. I'm not going
to graduate or go to college," is about
all his distressed parents get out Of
their efforts to discover what ails
him, what he wants, what to do.
The first thing to do is to get him
to a skilled physician who under
stands the care of growing boys. 1t
is certain that this boy is very shy.
He is timid in the presence of girls.
He fails when playing with the boys.
He feels very bad about this, and after
a trying day of one failure after
another, in class, in play, in social
relationships, he hurries to the shelter
of home and comforts himself by
feeling big. He is very uncomfort-
able and knows no other way Of
getting comfort than this mistaken
one. The doctor will be able to help
him somewhat.
Then try to get some man, preferably
one outside the family circle, to
interest himself in the boy. At this
stage of growth, and especially in this
state of growth, the boy or girl, heads
away from the family who know
too well the failures, and seek the
comforting presence of understanding
strangers. This man, usually teacher,
a clergyman, experienced business
man, likes boys, understands them,
and befriends this lonely bewildered
young one.
Interest the teacher. When she
sees this boy, red-faced, speechless,
glaring defiantly at the tittering girls,
ask her to wait for her chance, and,
unseen by the others, slip this stricken
one gentle word of encouragement, an
understanding smile. Ask her to make
opportunities to meet him, always
unknown to the class, and to make
friends with him, lndirectly.
The work we do for and with this
boy must be done indirectly. His
spirit is too sore for the direct touch.
A word sent straight at him frightens
him to distraction and helplessness.
A scolding only leaves him more help
less and bewildered than before. Never
correct him before anyone else, never
speak directly about his shortcomings,
but manage to get his attention, win
his good grace, and then, by slow
and easy stages, lead him to happier
ways.
Pleasant experiences with people
are greatly needed by such children.
They are craving a kind word, a
pleasant minute Of good comradeship
and because Of their outward appear
ances they are Stunned and left alone
in silence. They are daily thrown
back upon themselves when what they
long for most is association with
someone who will make them feel
themselves worthwhile. Deal with
them indirectly, and kindly. And
get outside help from the doctor and
the family friend.

By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

It appears from any casual glance
on q busy street that many mature
women are under the illusion 1t re-
quires very youthful, slightly extreme
clothes to be chic! Somehow they feel
that dignified clothes. Of line and
color to suit them, lack smartness or
dash. And they make the fatal mis-
take Of masquerading in clothes and
makeup meant for their budding
daughters!
If could take you to luncheon at
one Of our smartest spots in Washing
ton you would be amazed at the SIM
plicity and dignity Of the clothes worn
by women who can afford the best and
the most fashionable! And they are
the chic women Of their age group!
These women are ever aware Of line
first, and accent second. That is,
when they shop for street dress, they
buy one which flatters their figure in
a severely simple manner. Then they
buy accessories to accent that dignity
of line. And for the final touch, they
choose makeup to harmonic per-
fectly with the type of outfit, and the
colors worn. They have mastered the
art Of dressing we'll.
Even though your dress allowance
is small and your beauty budget too,
put little thought into what you buy
and when and how you wear it. The
older woman should strive for beauty
in dignity. She should not try to avoid
dignity. Her years have made her a
definite personality-even the graying
Of her hair has made certain colors
more becoming to her, certain cuts Of
frocks and coats more flattering.
Cosmeticians have spent years
blending colors to enhance your more
fragile beauty and have brewed for
mulas to keep your gray hair from
turning yellow or losing its luster.
There are creams and lotions, lipsticks,
rouges, eye makeup and hair aids,
just for you. They were made to sell,
so naturally they were made to make
you more beautiful. If they do not
accomplish that how would there be
q market for them?
Play up your years, your dignity!
Make them chicl Leave the crazy
dress fads, the bizarre in coiffures, the
glaring in makeup for the youngsters
who like to look like freaks, and can
get away with it because no one really
cares what youth does. They are still
the embryo of personality, you of ma
ture years are the finished product.
Dramatic it by wearing appropriate
clothing and beautifying makeup.

and the task of keeping 1t full has en-
