has applied for several Jobs with cut any luck would do well to re- enact in Ter own mind each inter- view.
 If there were any mistakes made before, those same mistakes need never be made again.
 Probably the ten most pertinent questions that she could ask her. self are:
 Did I dress in business like, yet becoming, clothes? Did I look spic and span from head to foot in something as trim, tailored and matter -of-fact as suit?
 Did l let the employer lead the conversation, answering his ques- tions fully, but never wandering from the subject?
 Did I sit straight backed in the chair he offered me, and look di- rectly at him as we talked see- ing him as business man, not just man?
 Did l manage to get across an inclusive summary of my training and any-even small-jobs I ever held?
 Was I prepared for the inter- view before I went, knowing as much as could learn of the busi- ness, and what was expected of one holding the job I wanted?
 Did I resist the impulse of the inexperienced to try to con- vince him that I could do any, thing, and was willing to take any kind of job?
 Did I manage to seem cheerful and eager, rather than cowed or gloomy?
 Did forego telling the en- ployer my reasons for needing the job, or any other personal details of my life in an effort to make him sympathetic?
 When I was told that there was no place for me at present, did I remember to thank the employer graciously for taking the time to talk to me, and to leave without any sign of embarrassment or dis appointment? .'
 If I had been that employer how would I have rated the young wo- man applicant?

 Yes, l am anticipating the pro- test of many fine mother, who declares that in spite of a good home, careful raising and all the advantages in the world, her boy or girl went wrong. There is some of that, I am willing to confess.
 Difficult for Mothers
 It is very difficult today for mothers to combat social infu- ence. And social influence means just about everything outside the home. I am not blind to the new capitalization of children and youth. I know what every mother has to contend with
 can only tell her to do the best she can. She has naturally, to keep alert to the change that has taken place and at the same time make herself over a little in order to keep her child from thinking of her only as law and order. On the other hand, she should hold to her tencts firmly and let Bob or Beth understand that for all she is a good fellow, she respects them only when they do right.
 Occasionally a mother or father, mostly mothers, become too pos sessive. They live in their chil- dren. They set the program Of .heir own desires for their chil- dren, and get vicarious kick out of seeing their extended selves ful- filling destiny.
 Children rather early begin to feel this pressure. If it meets with their own approval. that is excellent, but trying to bend twig away from its natural angle sometimes cracks it from the parental limb. The men, tally unhappy child may then take his morals into his own hands.

 At what age should a young girl start wearing makeup?
 Year after year, especially at this season. when school is just out, and 1 mothers and daughters see more of one another and have more time to ! talk things over, that question is frequently asked.
 After all, it's only natural that there should be much discussion of the subject before little daughter is allowed to have her own powder and lipstick. Mother, approaching fully the charm of the fresh, natural look about her little girl, wishes the child would not go in for cosmetics for another year or so. However, daugh- ter's friends are wearing lipsticE and powder-perhaps even rouge. and daughter won't be happy unless she does as her friends do. Perhaps some kind of happy compromise can be made.
 Help Her Choose
 About the worst thing you can do, Mrs. Mother-once you have given reluctant consent-is to say, Well, all right. Go ahead and use little of my powder now and then and pick up a lipstick the next time you are in store" Given this kind of sendof, it will be years before your child knows how to buy cos metics and how to apply them.
 Take your youngster to good beauty salon or to a sales person in whom you have confidence, then help her to select light-teXtured powder which match exactly her natural skin tones eff your own face powder is right for you, it un- doubtedly is too dark for young girD. She ought to have lipstick that makes her lips not scarlet or orange or brownish rust but the shade they would be if they were naturally highly colored. The same rule applies to rouge. And, for the very young, powder rouge is better than cream.
 Your next job is to teach the child exactly how to usee each item. Impress upon her that makeup is supposed to enhance, not distort natural beauty. Show her how to apply rouge sparingly and correctly and tell her how important it is to wash 1t off with soap and water every night before she goes to bed. In other words, the day you allow your daughter to have makeup is the day when kindly lectures on the proper use of 1t are very much in order. And remember-the best way to make sure that the lectures will mean something to her is to make doubly sure that you are shining example of them.

STATE

Danielle Darrieux, beautiful inter- national star, was greeted with whole-hearted admiration by capa- city audiences attending Warner Bros. State theater yesterday to witness this foreign lovely in the film "The Rage of Paris. This splendid comedy romance spotlights the special holiday program to be enjoyed over the weekend by local movie-goers.
 The film also marks the Amer ican as well as the local debut of Mile. Darrieux and according to her performance last night at the State it seems as though she'll be at the top of the star list in no time at all.
 Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. also ex- cells in the leading male role, being cast opposite the star.
 So the story goes of Danielle in New York without penny pal or a square meal. So she takes a job of posing for famous artist. However in her eagerness for the job, even though she doesn't fancy 1t, she reaches a wrong address and when Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., a young advertising executive walks into his office,. he finds her disrob- ing. From then on things get too funny to spoil by telling.
 All in all Danielle Darrieux is the kind of star and "The Rage of Paris" is the kind of comedy that is well worth seeing.
 And for your further enjoyment the management presents Prison Farm" starring Shirley Ross and Lloyd Nolan as the second smash

THE CRAZE FOR SURGERY


 A reader, prnctured my pride in the new word, cri, which I thought I had invented, by pointing out that 1t is really an old familiar word in French, meaning cry, vogue or .ashion-as in the phrase dernier cri.
 Fad, vogue, craze, however, is a typical Yankee custom. Needless to cite the constant succession of popular crazes. But medicine, too, is subject to crazes, and notably surgery.
 If you are old enough to remem- Der the craze for cutting bone out of the nose, back in the gay nineties and the early years of the twentieth century you know that it was followed by the craze for snar- ing and guillotining tonsils and adenoids which ragged among the nose and throat specialists and even among the general practition- CTS for several years before the war. There was a time when a bored youngster could scarcely say "Huh?" and look dull or unin- teresting in what the teacher was talking about, without grave risk of being rushed to clinic to have his hypothetical adenoids removed. Actually some Yankee specialists, doing a wholesale business via the clinic racket, had school teachers, social service workers and similar runners tagging children and herd ing them to the clinic for removal of tonsiIs and adenoids, on the mere snap diagnosis of the teacher, nurse or other incompetent person who observed what the nose and throat specialists of the day called the "adenoid face"-that is, dull, open -mouthed, listless expression.
 To be sure, such an expression may sometimes accompany hyper trophy or enlargement of adenoid tissue in nose or throat, but it stands to the everlasting shame of medicine that during the tonsil and adenoid craze countless children were herded through such operate in wholesale fashion without the formality of even an examination of the throat by physician before the

 Neither of these young people could go to college. But they're both convinced they owe their suc- cess to a cultural background ac- quired at home.

 He's invited out to dinner with the most interesting people because his knowledge of modern art and phil osophy makes him stimulating companion.

POLI'S

Lord Jeff, dramatic story of the training of boys for Britains future merchant marine, introduces Fred die Bartholomew and Mickey , Rooney, companions in Captains Courageous" and The Devil Is a Sissy" in entertainingly new char acterizatiOns at the Locw Poli the ater this afternoon.
 Freddie portrays boy, represent ed as a scion of nobility by crooks, who finds regeneration and a new destiny when sent to the English training school part of the Barnardo Homes institution in England. Mic key is a student petty officer, first Freddie's nemesis, later his friend. Sam Wood, who directed Navy Blue and Gold" directed the new picture with rare skill.
 The desperate fight between the two boys, the great boat race, the mast-climbing contests and other nautical school thrills mingle with human and dramatic touches. Set tings are authentic and elaborate.
 Players, aside from several hun dred boys playing students, include Charles Coburn, Herbert Mundin, Gale Sondergaard, Terry Kilburn, Peter Lawford, Walter Tetley and others.
 A high point in the picture is the introduction of Terry Kilbum, a youngster from London, playing his first screen role in Lord Jeff.
 Sam Wood, who directed Jackie Coogan in his first feature picture years ago and launched discovery, believes that in Terry, he is launch ing the outstanding boy discovery of 1888. Veterans Charles Coburn who has trained hundreds of players agrees with him.
