the two attractive models shown in
the background. Crossbar plaid in
blue and white imported tweed
makes the topcoat and jacket for
the costume shown to the left with
matching blue monotone skirt.
Bright yellow, red, blue and nat
ural beige blend tremendously in
the beautiful plaid topcoat of import
ed tweed at the right. It is lined
with matching blue silk crepe.
The task that fashion sets before
the designer of smart wool outfits
for spring is to so inter-relate colors,
that combined make harmonious
individualized entity of their own.
It is not beyond the bonds Of good
taste to combine d stripe, a plaid
and plain. In fact, the working of
novelty woolens in trios is one OF
the smartest newest moves among
designers who notably lead in cos
tune art.
The dominant note in early spring
fashioning is, as it has been for
some time past, the contrast jack
ct and skirt two-piece suit. The
stripes and plaids and hubby wool
weaves that go to make up these
youthful suits are more fascinating
than ever. In stylizing these popu-
lar numbers designers are making
a big play on pockets. Sometimes
the front of the jacket is fairly plas-
tered with innumerable decorative
as well as useful pockets.
Newest among woolens in use for
spring are diagonal stripe effects
such as gray wool with wide white
stripes running diagonally across.
Prospects are that we will be see
ing more of stripes this season than
ever.

IaSn1On SHOWN upon.
If you are impatient to don color
you do not have to wait for the
actual arrival of spring, neither are
you called upon to travel to sunny
climes to wear one of the new bright
wooden outfits, for at this very mo-
ment fashion-alert women are ac-
quiring tailleurs of flashing, DASH
ing gay wool weaves that forecast
the color-glory of suits, ensembles,
dresses and coats that will enliven
the style scene throughout the COM
ing months.
Early spring tweeds 'say it, ir-
resistibly via plaids and stripes that
are superbly colorful. Playing up
bright woolens in trios is one way
of showing enthusiasm for the new
novelty stripes, plaids and checks.
In such instances a stripe, a plaid
or check and a plain are so inter-
related in color values as to make
a stunning costume such as any
lady of fashion might covet.
The tailored suit of plaid wooden
in the foreground of our illustration
in softest shades of rose and green
with wool jersey blouse of dusty
pink would sound a triumphant high
coloratura note under a fur coat in
any cline where the thermometer
persists in registering low or with

sport ensemble shown to the left in

is in green jersey enhanced with a
brilliant studded belt.

HINT-OF-THE-DAY
The Use Of Face Powder


Face powder is perhaps womanls'
oldest beauty aid. In Egypt, China
and Japan powders have been used
for centuries. Rice, starch, clay,
bismuth and almond meal were toia
let prerequisites before the days OF
Cleopatra.
A high grade powder is many
sided blessing. It protects the skim
against strong sunlight, harsh winds
and atmospheric dust.
The woman who knows her beauty
rules never grinds powder into the
pores. She pats it on lightly, start
ing under the chin and not ON the
nose, as was the old-time custom.
After it's application she taps her
face lightly with the finger tips. That
tends to make the powder stick.
It's important to be fastidious
about the powder pad, since germs
Turk on even a clean skin. Absorb
ent cotton is more sanitary, though
it doesn't spread the powder as nice
" as lambs wool. Rouge pads are
frowned upon because they are usu-
ally given such long service.
Many of today's powders contain
starch talcurn, also oxide Of zinc,
which is an excellent antiseptic. To
help powders to hold on lotions are
used, some being compounded Of
stearate Of zinc and a bland oil.
They should be rubbed into the flesh
until they disappear, as you would
with vanishing cream.

she lacked the beauty her sisters

her own and went to college. There
she concentrated on school affairs

USE OF AUDITORIUM REFUSED
CHURCH BY SCHOOL BOARD

Editor Midland Journal:
A committee on recreation activ-
tiles for young folks of this COM
munity, sponsored by Rev. ]. B.
Dickerson, of James Methodist
Church, Rising Sun, and approved
by the official board of the Church,
has been refused use of the High
School auditorium here, on the
grounds, claimed by Dr. T. B. Moore,
member of the County School Board,
that there was no organization will
ing to accept the responsibility for
the school"
The above statement is quoted
from the proceedings of the School
Board.
The Recreation Committee wishes
to make itself clear, that plans and
details were fully discussed before
use of the auditorium was asked and
are at loss to understand why DR..
Moore, local member of the School
Board, should allow the matter to
be misrepresented as it has been.
This misrepresentation has not
only handicapped the progress Of
the program, but has discouraged a
number of boys and girls from par
ticipating in lot of clean and
wholesome recreation.
Not wishing to see the movement
fall drought entirely, the Commun-
ity Fire Company donated the use
of the Fire Hall, where Tuesday
nights, from seven to nine o'clock,
are observed for the boys and Fri
day nights for the girls. However,
the space is contracted and condi-
-tions not very satisfactory, and it
seems unfair to our young folks,
that one man should stand in the
path of such a movement.

Cat, Dog Rated Equals
On Intelligence Scale

The only difference in the intelli-
gence Of dog and a cat is that a
dog is something of a socialist
while cat is an individualist," &C.
cording to DR.. Charles M. Diserens,
assistant professor of psychology at
the University Of Cincinnati.
DR.. Diserens, who has made o
lifelong study of cats, says that
persons who favor dogs over cats or
who believe dogs have a higher de-
gree of intelligence just don't know
their cats. He believes one animal
is about as intelligent as the other
and that there is little difference in
their nerve centers.
Although classifying cats as rug
ged individuals, DR.. Diserens wants
it understood that felines have a
genuine capacity for gratitude. He
says this fact may often be noted
during and after medical treatment
when they become deeply grateful
and very often more affectionate.
