Gloriying Yourself
By Alicia Hart
(NEA Service Staff Writer)


 Grooming is much more of a problem in the summer time than 1t was during winter months. Every beauty minded woman finds it more difficult to keep hair fresh and soft looking, face and hands scrupu- lously clean, accessories, spic and span and makeup in order when the weather is very hot.
 Therefore, it's a good idea to be- gin now to plan ways and means to be attractive as well as com fortable during July and August.
 You can, for instance, buy sev- eral washable, inexpensive summer dresses instead of one or two rather heavy models that always have to be ry-cleaned. This cuts down the strain on the budget, of course. Be- sides, a freshly laundered dress al- ways gives spirits a lift on par ticularly sultry morning. Then, too, you can see that the white collars and cuffs on the dark street dresses you do get are easily removable perhaps snapped instead of sewed on.
 You can take a VOW that, for once in your life, not single pair of summer shoes will be even a little bit too snug. You can lay in a supply of cologne and bath pow der. get into the habit of using both after each bath. You can search for an anti-perspirant, try ing several types until you find one that suits your skin and is truly efticacious. If you don't use an anti-perspirant, see that all of your summer frocks have dress shields in them.
 Look Cool and Feel Cool
 You know, don't you, that one who looks cool Is more likely to feel cool and comfortable? Try to plan your summer ahead, doing all the annual, bothersome duties around the house now instead of waiting until the pavements are hot and everyone is miserable. Don't leave the packing of the children s trunks, painting of the porch fur niture or plans for your own vaca- ton until the last minute. If you do, you'll be running around in cir

Leave me alone! I hope I never see you again." Kit sobs.
 Of course she doesn't mean it. High-strung and sensitive, Kit makes herself miserable, exaS- perates others by the very qual- ities that should give her unusual fascination and charm.
 But can anything really be done about nerves?" you ask. Certainly When you can study them as im- personally as you would a sprained ankle, they're half cured.
 What are their causes? Con- monest of all are worry, fear, jeal- ousy. Face them squarely. Recog- nize that worry is often bad ha- bit; fear and jealousy, the results of a keen imagination.
 And how to get rid of them? Urf- derstand and sympathize with oth- CT peoples problems. They're pres sing, too. Release pent-up emotion in new activities-tap dancing, gar dening, club work.

and already she can run up far to middling doll dress.
 These tendencies should be marked in our diaries. Not because we feel Shirley Temple coming on, or any other kind of infant prodigy, but because ten or fifteen years from now the big question is going to be. What shall our child be educated for? He doesn't know what he Cor she) wants to do."
 Remember Early Trends
 The trouble with these natural gifts of the pre-school child, IS that they have a tendency to fade away into that hay realm from which they came. The child be- comes enamored of his widening world, and life crowds out the early loves and talents. ,,
 This is natural and as 1t should be. I am not urging you to Jump to conclusions and imagine you nave a genius in the family. Even II you had one, your child should go right ahead, live normally and happily, as a child, and get his general edu- cation, while he Is being speciflcally trained. But I hold no particular brief for the intense specialization of children. :,
 My suggsteion, here, however, IS to stop, look and listen for some natural gift of the little child that may be sign post on the road to higher education when he IS grown. Too often neither parents nor student. can choose wisely the course for continued study because early interests are forgotten.
 So, when your child's particular hobby has faded from his or her memory, your ability to recall Il may be the key to their successfw training for adult activities.

THE RABIES SCARE

ooHhAsA
 Every so often the health depart ment works up a rabies scare, not to create demand for Pasteur treatment or serum" but mainly to gain publicity for the health de- partment, the health officer or his work, with a shreWd purpose be- hind it all, namely, to obtain larger appropriations or to prevent cut In the generous appropriations now being made for the conduct of the manifold activities of the health de- partment.
 Some of these activities amount practically to the practice of medi- cine and come under health depart ment scope only because the poli- tician holding down the job of health officer feels he must identify himself with every possible matter that has the slightest relation to health in order to hold his political standing.
 A medical colleague who evil dently believes in Santa Claus and the stork sends me newspaper clipping emanating from the health department. The item briefly men, tions the death of man from rabies. With 1t is another clipping telling of the death of 8 second man from rabies. Both men, the newspaper item says, had been bitten by a dog that had rabies The dog had bitten nine persons in all-seven of them received Pas teur treatment at once and all are still living and well. These two men did not receive Pasteur treat ment. They are dead of rabies.
 Could anything be more convinc- ing? My medical friends asks whether these two cases do not cause me to alter my view ano opinion as to the cause of hydro phobia (although he is a physician he seems to like the word "hydro- phobia"), and it's specific treatment | If it does so influence me, the medi' cal colleague suggests, it would seem in order for me to take my readers into my confidence and ad' wise them properly, in case any O. them should ever be bitten by rabid dog.

COuturierS Use Pleated
 Skirts
By ROsETTE HARGROVE

NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 Paris - Every summer wardrobe, however modest, includes one extra dress which does not form part of an ensemble and is simply meant to be worn alone. While much de- bends upon the occasions when this dress will be worn, still there are a few general points to bear in mind before acquiring it.
 Remember that pleated skirts or skirts showing alternate panels of the plain and pleated fabric are very new and smart. Length is im- portant, and this type of dress should vary between twelve and fourteen inches from the ground.
 Bodices underline the bust, but are not too form-fitted. You have a choice between the hiplengths, sweater top, with the waistline stressed by soft folds or a narrow belt, or the bodice which is blouced all around. Both are the newest fashion features, but if neither suits you, then you might consider vest front effect in contrasting fabric and color such as Chanel favors.
 Wallpaper Prints
 The printed silk afternoon dress is smart provided the design is new. The latest pattern is an 18th cen tury wallpaper design with figures and landscapes in solid color on a white ground. MolyneuX showed these in his mid-seaSon collections, as well as a few dotted fabrics, the | former in soft blue and henna red on white grounds, and the latter in black on sapphire or lime green grounds. Nearly all the shirts were short and pleated from ;ne waist line or perfectly slim and straight. Bodices were the acme of simplicity, with short sleeves, reyers and front shirt waist fastening or else rounded high neckline, with the buttoning down the back.
 Monotones, on the other hand, were also featured in Molyneuxs collection, every line of which ex- pressed the easy, unsophisticated grace of summer wear, with no ex- cess of gadgets, trimming or fuss mess of any sort. Light colors. mainly various shades of blue from

periwinkle to turquoise, lavender, heliotrope, some very luminous yell lows and pale greens including lime green and navy, the former appear ing in charming little cocktail dress es, or semi-formal evening gowns.
 To offset any sense of monotony, Molyneux plays with unusual color contrasts. With chamois yellow crepe suit, for example, he shows a deep carnation red blouse, jacket lining and boutonniere. A pale blue two-piece silk dress, with the short basqued jumper topping sunray pleated skirt, is completed by a wide -brimmed bonbon pink hat, or again, a pale verdigris green suit is worn with matching hat, but the ribbon trimming and the blouse are in 8 deep henna, achieving per- feet harmony in an unexpected con- trast.
 Tulle Strong This Year
 Schiaparelli's circus prints are arresting and attractive and make unusual afternoon dresses, the sim plicity of line offsetting the com- plicated design. The all black dress. on the other hand, is gathered at the bodice and contrasts with simple skirt. Black chiffon is an- other very sure choice for that eX- tra summer dress, and this could be made with boX-pleated skirt and simple bodice, over smooth satin slip, leaving the shoulders and arms to show through the sheer fabric.
 Tulle is another medium which is being included in the category of afternoon dresses and despite its fragile look, is as practical and dur able as many heavier weaves It is treated in semi-tailored manner or else made into fluffy, schoolish frocks which look delightfully."- un- sophisticated. Prints and monotones are equally smart and multicolored stripes look very gay.
 The choice of hat is very im- portant, too, in regard to the sum- inCl LII Coo. DuI ACpCdIuiS OAlC OA the dominant colors, is much smar- ter with print. Straw or felt is smart, but the wide-brimmed felt is perhaps the smartest and is favored by the Parisienne. With 8 mono- tone dress, on the other hand, whether this is black or pastel col- ored, you can wear hat in con- trasting shade or any of the more eccentric flower beddecked toques which are fashionable this season.

NEGROES QUITTING
COTTON FOR HOGS
Hartford County Growers Find 1t
Profitable To Go In For
Raising of Meat

Winton, April 19-'''I got tired of
raising cotton for the boil weevil, so
I started raising hogs for the mar
ket"
That comment of a HEREFORD coun-
ty Negro farmer is representative OF
q widespread sentiment that is grow
ing over the county, said w. c. Daven-
port, Negro farm agent of the State
College extension service.
Negro farmers in Hartford county,
who are among the best in the State,
also got tired of depending upon a
few cash crops that often sold for
low prices, Davenport said.
In balancing their farming program,
thew have turned to cattle, hogs, and
pounrry. These enterprises have not
only provided them with food for
home consumption, but provides them
with produce to market.
To improve the quality of their live
stock and poultry, the farmers have
been adopting better methods of feed
ING and management, and have been
buying pure bred and high grade
fowls and animals.
A survey has been shown that $5,-
338 worth of pure bred and good
blooded stock has been placed with
Negroes in the county recently.
There were % pure bred male hogs
valued at $500, and Al pure bred fe-
males valued at $1,230. Twelve young
pure bred bulls valued at $500 were
acquired by individuals and '"bull as
sociations."
Twenty-three pure bred and high
orado COWS valued at 81 40 and a.
873 pure bred day-old chicks valued
at $1,698 were also numbered in the
recent purchases.
Where individual Negro farmers felt
they could not afford a pure bred
bull "a group would form an associa-
ton to buy the animal comparatively
for the use of all members and other
| farmers upon payment of a small fee.
