Walking on the HighDay

IT'S an art, this walking along
1 the highway, and not every
body who does it lives to tell about
it afterward. At least third of
the pedestrians fatally injured in
rural districts are struck while
walking along the roadway, ac-
cording to figures of the National
Safety council. And about two
thirds of these were walking with
their backs to approaching traffic.
In many places, sidewalks are
being built parallel to the high
ways to segregate motor and pc
destrian traffic, but in places
where they aren't yet built, the
council has these four suggestions
to offer:
Walk on the left side of the
road.
PAT night, carry a light.
3-Wear light clothing or at
least some article of clothing
that's white, to make it easier for
the motorist to see you.
4-Walk on the shoulder of the
road instead of the pavement,
where possible, to keep from fore
ing cars into the path of oncoming
traffic.

Pitching Arms

n AZZY VANCE, former Brooklyn

ic of sore arms that has struck
some of baseball's topnotch hurlers
during the past year.

ball there were no Clipped bones in

to cope with heavy hitting, and their

Ruth started the free swing style
of American league hitters, Dazzy
theorized.
"Of course, anything but fast
ball requires an unnatural delivery,
but the old-fashioned curves were
accomplished with a snap of the
wrist that doesn't hurt the arm.
"Back when was pitching" he
continued, "you could get by with a

HINT-OF-THE.DAY
Be Kind to Tender Skins

Plain soap and water is the most
reliable of all skin cleansers, but
there are some skins that do not
react satisfactorily to this method
of cleaning.
Some women find that when they
use soap and water on the face there
is a tendency to dryness and Itch
ing. Sometimes slight rash will
appear for a day or so.
Women whose skins react in this
manner should avoid standing under
the shower, and even for the tub
bath it is advisable to cover the
face and neck with cream or vase
line. A generous coat of vaseline
will repel all steam and water.
When soap and water are used, it
should be at a time when there is
no irritation. The water should be
tepid, never hot.
Use a wash cloth or complexion
brush to wash well around the nose
and mouth, as well as the face and
neck. After few moments re-
move the soap with cool water
rinsing, cover the face and neck with
a towel and pat dry.
Then apply good smooth cleans
ing cream-one with a good Oil base,
and never the vanishing cream,
which often has an alkali or soap
base. After removing the cleansing
cream, use good tissue cream.

Beauty Aids
Not Intended
For Children
By PATRICIA LINDSAY
MANY mothers write asking
AY4 such questions as these:

MANY mothers write asking
AvA such questions as these:
'sDo you believe in permanent
waves for young children?"
"My child has very pale face.
When she goes to parties should !
rouge her cheeks?"
"My young daughter likes colored
nail polish. She is only nine. Should
I let her wear it?"
And once in while / get a
question which makes me gasp-'1
want my child, who is now five
years old, to have a perfect. COM
plexion when she grows up. Should
I give her a facial once week at
a beauty parlor?"
Of course, my answer to all of
those questions is "No-Definitely
moi"
A child should be allowed to grow
into an adult, unhampered. Her ten
der hair can be ruined with intense
heat and harmful lotions; her skin
can be marred for life by creams
which were made for aging beauty,
not virgin beauty; and how horrible
to look at a young child with lac
quered nails or rouged cheeks!
If you wish your child to grow
into beauty be watchful over the
fundamentals of a healthy body and
mind. See that she is fed the foods
that will nourish her. Foods that
will strengthen her tiny bones and
teeth. Foods that will keep her skin
fresh as dew-kissed petal.
Brush the darling's hair regular
ly, away from the scalp with brush
that is kept sterilized and used for
her very own. Keep her scalp clean,
free from rashes and dandruff. Try
to discover a natural wave in her
hair, and press it between your fin
gers while it is damp to encour-
age it's curl.

Only once before has heavyweight
championship battle ended so swift
ly. That was when Louis went into
the ring and disposed of Max Schmel-
ing in 2 minutes and 4 seconds. No
fighter in the long history of pugi-
lism ever has won two successive
championship bouts in one round.
The fight should serve one pur-
pose. 1t should calm down the
cream puff contenders who are sure
that Louis is much 0ver-rated
fighter. Few, indeed, have claimed
that Louis lacked a punch. But
many of them are brave enough, or
foolish enough, to admit that they
have "solved" the problem Of his
boxing style, and are ready and
anxious to end his ring supremacy.
Even Tony Galento, king of the
stumblebums, seems to be losing
his enthusiasm for title bout. True,
he continues to call the champ
bum, but his vocal delivery isn't as
sincere as it once was.
John Henry thought he knew how
to fight Louis. He thought he had
perfected a style that would save
him from the Brown Bomber's le-
thai punch. And John Henry is
clever fighter, ring-wise and with
brains enough to know that he
couldn't stand up and out-slug his
dusky contemporary. Yet he lasted
less than one round.
This was the first of four cham
piOnship matches Promoter Mike
Jacobs has planned for Louis in
1889. There are indications, howev-
er, that it will be increasingly diff
cult to find four men willing to risk
their lives in the same ring with
the Detroit lad. Joe Louis is un-
questiOnaBly the greatest fighter this
generation has seen.
In regard to finding a suitable
contender for championship honors,
Jack Dempsey suggested that the
boxing commissions and the Nation
al Boxing association get together
and hold a regular tournament. In
it would be Toles, Farr, Galento,
Pastor, Reddish, Burman, Baer,
Nova and all the rest. The winner
to fight Louis.
It's great idea, and Joe would be
all set to polish off the winner. But
it's impossible. No one, not even
Dempsey, can figure out way to
get two boxing commissions to
agree that the automobile is here
to stay, much less agree on a tour.

Self Neglect
Never Justified

What mother failed to do was
this. She neglected herself in or
der to shower daughter with much
much she didn't need. When daugh-
ter was at the going-out age, she
saw other mothers who were at
tractive, who could speak on current
topics and books, who were more or
less companionable to their own
daughters. BY comparison her
mother fell short. Didn't she? Yes,
the doting mother failed to keep
modern. Her offspring outshines
her.
What these disappointed mothers
should do, now that their daughters
have grown, is to spend much more
time thinking about themselves!
Buy some new clothes, get a new
hair-do and a few beauty treatments
if the budget will stand for them
by crossing out daughters ordinary
provisions! Those will restore self
respect.
To restore self-assurance get ac-
tive in something, preferably local,
which will bring you out of the
home into social activity. Read
books, magazines, go to movies. De-
velop a observation-disclosures you
have drowned yours in your daugh-
ter's. Don't blame her. She is
young and youth is ruthless! Win
your own self esteem back and it
will not be long before people will
be saying, "Alice should be attrac-
tive and talented, just look at her
mother!"

Speeding of Sports
Brown Bomber
Faces Lack of
Real BraWlers
By ROBERT McSHANE

w HEN Shufflin' Joe Louis low
w cred the boom on heavyweight
contender John Henry Lewis recent
ly it merely gave added and unnec-
essary strength to the old adage
that a good big man can always
whip a good little man. Lewis, as
you remember, gave away almost
20 pounds, weighing in at 1904. The
champion scaled 20OA pounds.
The fight was a sad commentary
on the current heavyweight situa-
ton. Jack Dempsey's opinion of the
fight, stated before it took place,
was more accurate than c0mpli-
mentary. He stated that cts bet
ter than no fight at ALL" That, too,
is debatabIe.

stopped the brawl after 2 minutes

Eighteenth Century Ice Cream

The famous Josiah Wedgwood,
English ceramic maker of the
Eighteenth century, listed ''ice
cream cups" again and again on
his price cards, showing that even
in that day this dessert was known.
In fact, recipe for making it was
dated 1869. Fruits, sugar, and
cream combined were placed in an
earthen pot, packed with ice and
much SALT" and frozen, much as
we freeze ice cream. Washington,
Jefferson, and Madison are known
to have served it at social functions
in this country by the end of the
Eighteenth century.

Traced Directly to Indians

Poke is an Indian word said to
mean blood, which is possibly an
allusion to the reddish juice of the
fruit or color of the stem. Another
suggested derivation is from the
word polk, meaning break, possibly
referring to the ease with which the
brittle stem breaks.
The largest native flower of the
water lily tribe is the Wampapin or
Wankapin, meaning in Chippewa,
curved, in allusion to the crooked
edible tubers of this plant.

Plant and Flower Names

The names of many of our plants
and flowers come from the Indian,
says the American Wildlife insti-
tute. Hickory is from the Algon-
quin, meaning to break something
open. The related tree, the pecan,
bears a pure Algonquin name,
meaning large nut.
The Atamasco lily, found in the
low pinelands of the Gulf states and
Georgia derives it's name from two
Algonquin names-adi, meaning to
ci2en, and miskan, meaning it is red.

Bridqe Across Atlantic

There is bridge across the At
lantic. This sounds like an untrue
statement, but it is perfectly true,
and the bridge is the only one
that spans the Atlantic ocean. It
is the Clachan bridge near Oban,
which joins Sell island to the main
land of Scotland. The strip of
water between them is narrow,
but it is part of the Atlantic. So
the bridge spans the Atlantic.
