BEAUTY HINTS
By Nina Temple
Hints for Large Hands

If your hands are very large there
are some secrets that will help YOU
make them look smaller. Always wear
dark gloves as dark colors make them
appear smaller. Never wear stitched
gloves as the stitches call attention
to the hands. Select ring with a
large setting as your hand will look
smaller by contrast. And then re-
member to keep the hand immaculate
as cleanliness has charm all it's own.

are among the latest and most
elaborate fashions, have been
purchased by Mr.. Appelrouth
and already some of them have
arrived and are now being ar
ranged for his displays.
Discussing his trip and the re-
suits Mr.. Appelrouth said that his
purchases include some of the
most distinctive styles that are
the rage throughout the great
style shops and purveyors to the
elite of the country, and his pur-
chases include more than a car
load of up to the minute dresses
and shoes, many of which are al
ready arriving and are continu-
ing to arrive almost daily.

AROUND THE COUNTRY: New

York Worlds Fair: It's straight
and curved lines with brilliant
colors in the buildings first strike

is the shaft outside the Russian

shaft rising high in the air with

ing combines features of the
Daily News tower, landmark of
Miami, the Box Tower of Lake

Spanish architecture known over
Florida. Now if it could have
also brought in a Bahama house

girls will compete with those of

fensive operations on all fronts.
Then began the fight on the
Western Front. Three attacks by
the Germans gained some ground
but they couldn't penetrate
enough. American soldiers were
ready by that time, and the AL
lies began counteroffensive at
tacks. They drove the Germans
back and in August of 1918 a
British army broke through the
Hindenburg line. American drive
cut off communications of the
Germans at st. Mihiel and at the
Meuse-Argonne. Reorganized Bel
gian army began attacking Ger
many from the west, and with
the Allies assault on all fronts.
the German defense collapsed
and an armistice was signed.
War On The Seas
At the end of May, 1916, the
Battle of Jutland was fought on
the high seas, and when it was
all over the British had control
of the waters and the German
fleet was bottled up in Helgoland
Blight for the rest of the war. On
April 90, 1917 another battle on
the high seas with only destroy
ers ended successfully for Britain.
During February, 1915, the
French and British battleships be-
gan to push up the Dardanelles
and Black Sea but on May II the
attempt was termed a, failure.
The German raiding squadrons
provided the excitement on the
sea. Most outstanding was the
Emden, which captured OF sunk
more than 30 crafts and destroy
ed $25,000,000 of property in 81
days.
Submarines and mine planting
also played major part in the
World War. Many ships went to
the bottom because of the mines
and many harbors were protect
ed by their use. German sub
marine operations are well known
and they did their part in Kidding
the sea of numerous enemy yes
sells.
Great Loss Of Life
Germans were first to use the
airplane as a military aid, but
none of the raids or battles in the
air were of great Importance to
either side.
The Allies lost 4,669,087 men in
the war, 12,826,778 were wound
ed and 4,121,116 were missing or
taken prisoners. Central Powers
lost 2,750,000 men, 1888, 448 were
wounded and 3,629, 1923 missing or
prisoners of war. Germany and
Russia suffered the greatest but in
proportion to population France
was the biggest loser.
Will such catastrophes happen
in the present war? Will Ger
many be wiped out this time?
Will it eventually result in an
other World War? Time alone
will tell.
