THERE has been so much said
l. about protecting the skin
against sunburn we believe every
girl will avoid unnecessary dis
comfort by using the oils and
creams that offer such protec-
tion. There are some very sat
isfactory products now that give
one the assurance of enough of
the vital violet rays, but at the
same time prevent sunburn, and
one may tan in comfort when di-
rections are followed.
There is another problem that
is frequently ignored and that
is how to avoid the drying ef-
fects of the sun on the hair.
Every fall brings its usual crop
of distressed young persons
whose hair has been sun
scorched, dried and streaked
through neglect. So, to be
warned in advance, one should
realize the hair, although a very
sturdy and fibrouS structure,
does need gentle treatment.
Salt water left on the hair
while exposed to the sun will
prove injurious. There Is also

spending the summer, and very
soon we were pairing off to-
gether regularly. I let her know
right away how I felt about her,
but somehow 1 couldn't make up
my mind to ask her to marry
me. One day when the summer
was drawing to a close and the
thought of parting from Mary
Lou was worrying me no end,
we went to a picnic with several
of the guests to an idyllic spot
up in the hills. After we had
eaten, she and I decided to do
some exploring, with the result
that we became lost from our
party. When I realized that we
were definitely lost, I told her
so and asked if she minded.
"Of course not!" she replied.
IT wouldn't mind being lost with
you anywhere" That was my
cue and I took it. We are to be
married in July and expect to
spend our honeymoon at that
same little country inn.

By Beatrice Fairfax

Dear Miss Fairfax:
My husband has become so
distant and critical of me. He

terribly, because we are expect
ing our first baby, and it seems
a sad time for a husband to
make fun of his wife and talk
about the beautiful slender girls
he sees.
gave up a good career to
marry him, and love him as
much as I ever did, but some
times it's hard to keep my chin
up, and explain this barrier
that has come between us.
LONELY WIFE.
She Should
Be Happy
An expectant mother should
be happy and cheerful, or her
baby is likely to be handicapped
through life by melancholia and
morbidity, a double handicap
before the baby takes up life on
his own. A husband and father
incurs a grave responsibility
when he takes this time to
make his wife unhappy. With
as little show of emotion as
possible, it would be well if
this young wife would ask her
husband what is the cause Of
his unnatural attitude toward
her.
And whether he continues to
sulk like an infantile adult on
account of impending bills, or
whether he treats his wife with
the consideration even a cave
man would show at such a time,
the wife must remember her
baby and try to keep up her
spirits. If her family live nearby,
or she has some good women
friends, she should see them, go
to the movies, hear good music,
put all the cheer she can into
the little miracle of delight COM
ing to her. The baby will prob
ably make up for the crouch
to whom she's married.

Dear Mr.. Antheil: This time
I am going after you from q
different angle. After your arti-
Gle on old-maid-itis, I am deter.
mined to talk logic to you. It Is
ridiculous to dub a woman an
old maid because she never
happened to meet the man she
wanted to marry, or the man
who wanted to marry her. Or
maybe she had q talent which
she thought might be spoiled
through marriage.
II do believe in love. But 7
don't believe it is a bug that
makes a girl chase a man and
flatter him to the point that
he can't see straight. Nor do I
think it is wangling a proposal
from the only available man.
II don't think a girl should
run after a man just to have
a boy friend. Personally, I am
planning to be an old maid un-
less some man sweeps me off
my feet.

"Now, I concede that men
are the logical chaSerS. Funny
thing, they also want to be the
choosers. Well, then they should
do their darndeSt to please us,
because we put a pretty high

don't.
Love is important; I'll con-
cede that. But it should be
left to look after itself and not
coddled like an exotic plant

What funny things girls can

You may be sure the girl who
is 18 who doesn't have some
masculine attention, has that
problem because she herself re.
pels the boys in some way. and
it is not because she is homely,
either.
That is the whole trouble.
There would be a great many

many of them are unmarried

ANTI-LYNcHING DEBATE
UNFORTUNATE


The prolonged debate in the United
States Senate ever the anti-lynching bill is
not very fortunate for the nation
At best, the racial issue in the South
ern States is a problem that invites the
soberest thought of all Americans The
only possible peaceful solution must re-
yolve around fhe1development of Southern
opinion and the. e0opesat1onsof the : two.

petition against the white people of the
South, VINO have done much, in the recent
past, to stamp out the indefensible
brutality of mob crimes. Gradually the
number of lynchings has fallen off as pub
lie sentiment in the South has become out
spoken in its condemnation.
Again, the effort to extend Federal
authority undoubtedly smacks of partisan
politics on the part of various office-hold-
ers, anxious to solidify the support of
Negro voters in States like New York,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri. Sin
eere Southern opponents of lynchings have
serious doubts as to the measure accom-
plishing anything toward preventing lynch.

.. ,..'gsenator Borah's speech against the
measure clearly demorsrated5. its an

government but the Idahoan went further,
declaring that the bill was not funda-
mentally ''in the interest of the white peo-
pie of the South, not in the interest Of the
black people of the South, not in the in
terest of national unity, not in the interest
of extinguishing crime
Thinking Americans realize, of course,
that back of the sentiment behind the bill,
is desire on the part of good people in
various sections of the country TO stamp
out detestable blot upon civilization. In
some quarters this feeling involves a de-
termination to force the Southern people
to solve their racial problem along lines
dictated by residents of other sections, who
do not face the grave problem and have.
little understanding of the issues involved.
Some citizens do not know of the
tragic era" when Federal bayonets sup
ported black domination of the white South
and when some fanatics attempted to.
make the Southern States the provinces of
Negro domination. It is possible that the
orgy of reconstruction had much to do with
the lynching evil and that any attempt to
force solution of present racial problems
will cause irreparable harm, not only to the
two races in the South, but to the structure
of Federal government as well.
1t is easy enough to condemn lynching
and most Southern people will subscribe to
the denunciation. It is another thing, how
ever, to use Federal force, in any degree,
to coeree Southern States in an effort to
compel solution of the race question. 1t
can be done, perhaps but, once begun, the
policy of force will have to be backed by
more force and that can easily develop in

GREATNESS OF
GOD EMPHASIZED

The crowd at First Methodist
fStone) church last night was
thrilled and stirred as Gypsy
Smith, Jr., told of the greatness
of God and his love for mankind.
Using the 5th chapter OF Mark as
the foundation for his remarks
the speaker painted a vivid pic
ture of the man who was taken
with a legion of devils. and a
woman who was overcome by sin
and had suffered physically for
IL years, and a little girl who was
dead but who had life restored.
The evangelist showed through
these pictures taken from Mark S
Gospel how God was the God of
Men, the God Of Women, and the
God of Children. He also showed
that God was conqueror of devils.
destroyer of sin, and victor over
death.
In his message Gypsy Smith
revealed how God was mindful OF
.'us in all of our needs and that
He was ready and willing to take
care of US in ali of life's prob
lens.
At the close of message, the
evangelist extended the invitation
to all who would rededieate their
lives or who would accept Christ
as their Savior to present them
selves at the altar and sign the
covenant card. In response to this
Invitation more than 100 men and
women and children came for
ward and expressed their desire
to accept and follow Christ
