CHAPTER TWENTY
WHAT bothers you most, if
" you are square faced, is
your square jaw
The right couture can make
it do marvellous disappear
ing act.
First of all, no dips or
bangs for you because they
shorten your face and make
it squarer than ever.
Next, if you lift the hair
line at the temples into two pro-
nounced corners, this will make
the jaw seem less square by con-
trast.
The Duchess of Windsor has re-
Gently discovered this trick.
Center Part
Then either a center part or a
low side part can be worn with
great success by this type of face,
providing the hairline is squared
OIL as ueSCflptu ABOVE.
Finally the square face
must never crop the hair
short AT the sides leaving
the bare face hanging out
with that determined jaw
well in evidence, as YOU
see il in the left-hand
sketch.
On the other hand. a long bob
will obliterate that jawline COM
pletely.
Now this type usually has
straight brows. We don't advise
lifting them bodily because Nature
designs brows to follow the bony
structure of the face.
And elevating them so drastical-
ly gives the painful look of real
face-lifting job
Discreet Piucking
But you can. by discreet pluck
ing or penciling. or a little of
both. leave those brows at their
natural level and yet get a sug-
gestion of low arch.
The square faces rouge
should be applied uery
much like the round faced
type's.
This may sound strange. But
actually the problem here is much
the same.
This face, too. needs length.
And so we start the rouge low and
near the nose and extend IL well
over the offending jaw.
Never let anyone induce you
TO dab bit of rouge on your
chin. Because this shortens the
face.
The square face is apt to have
a straight, thin mouth. But
curves should be applied discreetly
and not too fulsomely or they will
shorten and widen the face.
No Flat Hats
Millinery for the square face

NY husband and i are both
proud so we did everything we
could to get on without their help.
He was able to get odd jobs and ]
got a position in a store but our
income even then was not enough
20 cover our needs.
Finally my husband got a place
on one of the government projects
and / felt that as small as the
salary was, at least 1t was regular,
so / felt like a new person until
my dear relatives and friends CD
intimated that we were living on
relief.
That is what makes me indig-
nant, Miss Grey. Why Is IL that
these fat. well fed people, want to
make those of us who are down
on our luck, feel small? II Is so
petty and mean, II seems impos-
sible for human beings TO be like
that-but they are and we have to
put up with 1t.
I. for one, am sick and tired Of
the selfish, SNUG persons who
might know adversely themselves
some day. ! am just as tired Of
reading and hearing the walls of
the taxpayers (whe are lucky they
are able to pay taxes) as I am
of struggling along on an income
that is far from adequate.
MRS. A.
You're right. ! have often
noticed that Ii is easy for rcla-
tives and taxpayers to resent
people on relief and even those
who are holding down jobs on
government projects. They as
sure us that they don't want
people to starve yet most of
them Chose who can help with
out being hurt) are not very
gracious about It,
The taxpayers attitude, how
ever, is not as mean as that Of
the relative who begrudges help
Ing his kin. Most of us are all
sympathy when brother or
sister gets down on his or her
luck, but after we have helped
just so long, we get pretty
critical. So 1t stands to reason
that II we get that way about a
relative, 1t Is even easier to get
that way about a stranger and
that is why we hear taxpayers
complaining.
The taxpayer Is not to be
blamed in this case half so much
as the would-be cute" citizens
who encourage others to resent
needy people by making jokes
and sharp remarks about them.
1t might be a good thing for
those who are too critical to look
over the report of University
. Of Chicago graduate who studied
157 needy families. This grad
uate, Amaretta Jones, did not
find one family content with its
lot because II was on relief.
Rather. she found men who We're
desperately trying to get work.
And her study also showed that
during q six-year period the 1877
families only averaged slightly
more than. one child per family.
30 our argument about the poor
being prolific breeders just won't
hold water.
No matter what our political
beliefs. 1t wouldn't hurt us to
mix little understanding with
them. SO that even when we feel
most confident that we "can take
care of ourselves" We can also
imagine what il must mean to
the head Of family to lose that
confidence.
Love Problem
Dear Miss Grey: I have a real
problem. I have some old friends
both of whom ! like very much.
Over four months ago the man and
I realized that we loved each other.
We are respectable people and
want to do what is right. Will we
be happy If he asks for divorce?

Call for Caucus 10 Put Over Two Big Measures
 of President

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Fifty- one House Democrats, determined to force early action on President Rooseve,t's big lending program, have compelled the Democratic leaders in the House to call a caucus of the Party members for next Friday night.
 Representative Joseph A. Gava- gan, one of those who signed the petition for the caucus, said the aim is to solidify Democratic sup port for the Administrations legis- lation in view of the recent re- bluffs suffered by the Administra- tion when Democratic factions joined hands with Republicans.
 The petitioners, said Gavagan, want to commit the House Demo- cratic majority, as caucus, has the power to bring the S800,000, 900 Housing bill and $2,490,000, ,00O Lending bill to the floor without delay
 The former measure is tied up in the Rules Committee and the latter is in consideration in the Senate where several provisions en- countered opposition of Democratic members.

MINUTES NEW JOB MAY
 CARRY HIM TO HONOR OF
 OCCUPYING WHITE HOUSE
By MORGAN M. BEATTY AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON. July 26. n Paul McNutt believes the job of Federal Security Administrator will carry him to the White House, because 1. His public career to date has been administrative
 2. The security job is primarily administrative, giving him oppor- tunity to repeat in full view of the whole nation his performances as Governor of Indiana and High Com missioner of the Philippines.
 3. His new job has direct bear ing on the welfare of millions of voters, including the powerful old age pension group.
 A. Opportunities will develop to show himself to audiences in vari- ous parts of the country and dis close his general ideas of what the American government should be, what it should do, and where it should go.
 5. He has assurances of a free rein to do the job his way, without interference.
 6. He thinks he can prove in the next 10 months that Federal Se- curity Administrator McNutt should become Democratic Candidate Mo Mutt
 That's the barest outline of what the McNutt appointment means to the man who accepted it. It comes from people who are in position to know what he thinks about the job.

Christian missionaries and foreign traders had access to Japan during the loth century when the people of Europe were spreading over the globe.
 Japan did not like the foreign contact and its probable political significance. So she turned her back on the west and adopted a foreign policy copied from China whose theory was represented by the Chinese wall the worlds greatest monument to foreign policy,
 When Japan decided to make herself a national state on west ern model, she accepted western theory of conquest and control which was so popular among the imperialistic states of Europe dur ing the last half of the 18th cen tury. Japan now is conspicuous in the continued application of this theory and in her attempts to be imperialistic according to the west ern fashion as it was revealed to her.
