with a coating of karara in the

New Years Is always n time for
making good resolutions, and while
YOU are drawing up yonr list, don't.
forget To include a few allslmportant
beauty rules. The reason so many
people regard beauty rites as a bore,
or worse still, a chore, Is because
they hive never gone about them
Systematically. Taking care Of your
beauty is really lots of fun. Shop
around until you find the best pos
sible preparations for your partieu-
lar type Of skin and stick to it.
There are some luscious creams
and lotions on the market today.
and some of them have been ere
ated especially for us. If Santa
Claus didn't bring you the set of
cosmetics you want, go out and play
Santa to yourself.
Select Cosmetics With Care
Buying cosmetics requires a GER
tain amount of thought and a
knowledge Of the needs of your
own skin. Even such simple neces-
stiles as cleansing cream in two
kinds, liqulfyipg cream, which Is es-
pecially recommended for oily skin,
and the heavier cold cream type
which is excellent for skin that has
become dry and harsh. Select which
ever of these is best suited TO your
needs and use 1t rellgiously, at least
once a day. IL your skin Is in
cllned to be dry, the application of
a night cream before retiring (after
the face has been thoroughly
cleansed) will help correct this con-
dition and Is a tremendous aid In
preventing the formation Of nne
lines and wrinkles.

FASHIONS

With thu dull winter days settl-
ing down, eagerly our thoughts
turn to a more pleasant subject
Spring. We still have to go through
the winter months, 50 we'll natur-
ally want a new dress or hat to
brighten up these dark days. Isn't
i; surprising how a new dress puts
yea in such high spirits? As you
know prints are very much in evil
dence or rather they are going to
be. Anyone can wear them, be-
cause they are very small, usually
whito on a dark background. Black
with g small white figure is very
good, as We still have some cold
weather ahead of US. The new
jewel tones which have been very
popular this winter also make
good backgrounds.
One very interesting and flat
tering dress Is this one: It is
made of one of the fashionable
flat crepes which are now becom-
ing so popular. This color is the
ever popular black with tiny white
figures. These small prints are.
very favorable to the slightly over
weight woman or girl. The flat
tering neckline is square and has
q small cluster of artificial cher
ries at each corner. The blouse
has stitched plaits ON each side
from shoulder to waistline. The
plaits apa again repeated from hip
to hemline. This dress is notice
ablo for its youthfulness, flatter-
ing neckline, and ~slenderizing sill
houette.
This dress carries with it a
breath of spring, that will really
brighten up the next few months.

your shopping list a jar Of fonnda-
ton cream, which protects the skin
against the elements, makes your
makeup 90 on more smoothly and

whole a natural looking effect.
Makeup Should Match Skin Tone
And now check up on your make
up. Is that shade of powder you
are using exactly blended for your
skin or did you chose it in a care
less moment? The slight differ
ence in q shade Of face powder can
add or subtract years from your
face. Be sure that yours is just
right. The same holds true for
your rouge and lipstick. Just be-
cause your hair is one color, or
your eyes, doesn't mean that your
skin is equally light Dr. dark. It's
fun to experiment with different
shades and combinations. Keep It
up until you find the ones that look
best on you. You'll enjoy it while
you are doing 1t and the results, I

(Listed by Editor & Publisher)
War Department Libel

VhE OCpdt liltIiI LtDel
We wish to vigorously protest
the libel on the Negro group, voic-
ed by the Secretary of War, Harry
H.. Woodring in a letter to Walter
White, Secretary of the National
Association for the Advancement
RI Colored People, when he says:
Following a we'll established prin-
ciple that the races should not be
mixed within organizations, a prin-
ciple which is indorsed by your
people, it is necessary to set up
specific units to which colored per-
sonell may be assigned, and these
organization must have a definite
and proper place in the balanced
force organization of the Army
as a whole"
OF course, it is the common ex-
perience of Negroes that both the
Army and the Navy, are all but
contemptous of the existence of
Negroes, except when the country
is facing possible disaster and the
unqualified support of every man
woman and child is needed to as
sure victory for the Stars and
Stripes. 1t is VIGOROUSLY true that
when the Stars and Stripes face
no immediate foe, the Army and
Navy treat Negroes more as wards
or subjects than as citizens.
But when Secretary of War
Woodr'ng comes out pointedly and
says to Negroes that Negroes them
selves approve the principles of Sc
gregation, he needs TO be set Alright
even though he knows, and the e
cord Of the battle of Negroes for
civil rights shows, hat the race
doe snot of its own volition indorse
or approve this principle.
In no field of activity within
the Negro group can it be shown
that separation of the races is
accepted as final by Negroes The
National Urban League and tine
NAACP both are i%nterracial or
ganizations. The I~nterracial Com
mission of the South is composed
of both races. The Rosenwald Fund
and the Jeans and Slater Funds
have Negro and white members.
White men head some Negro col
ored teachers are in the same
schools in several places in the
South. In short, Negroes work with
whites in the same organizations
wherever they are permitted to
work. There would be no segrega-
ton at all, even in the South, were
the question left to the Negroes.
Even Hampton Institute, which
turned out Booker Washington and
DR.. Motion, has a mixed organi-
cation. 1t is impossible for the
Negro to live in America, separate
and apart in the sense that Mr..
Woodring means it, and in the
sense that he has the effrontery to
say that Negroes approve it.
