SWEET SIXTEEN
A Column for You Alone

The time has come, I think, for
the teen-age girl to come into her
share of the limelight. We've con
cerned ourselves with the woman of
forty, the housewife, the working
girl, and the thirty-year-old, but
"sweet sixteen" has been left to
CLEAN such hints as she needs from
them. So we will devote this
column entirely to her
Your Charms Are Natural
Many years ago someone gave me
this bit of advice which | am going
to pass on to you. Just because
YOU are in high-school now or pos
sibly even on the verge of gradual
ing and are allowed to go out at
night and have "real dates" don't
initiate YOUR elders too much.
There's time enough to be "grown-
up" Your youth is your biggest
drawing card, if YOU will only real
ize it. Don't cover your fresh young
skin with thick coatings Of make
up. A light busting of powder and
a faint tracing of lipstick should be
sufficient to set off your youthful
charms. Wait until you are a little
older to use mascara and eye
shadow. Your eyes are clear and
sparkling enough without artificial
aids.
Now is the time to build up habits
of cleanliness and beauty which will
serve you well in later years. Make
it rule never to let stale makeup
clog your pores. Always cleanse
your skin thoroughly before "doing
your face over" And never, never
go to bed without first removing
your makeup. One good cream
should be sufficient for the teen-age

 A war of nerves is under way in Europe in more han one sense It is not only case of governments

LET'S CARRY ON

The most important advance in recent years against the ravages of venereal disease was scored when the fight to curb syphilis and gonorrhea was brought out into the open The ultimate control of those diseases was assured from that moment
 AS has been demonstrated, however, publicity alone will not suffice to stamp out the diseases It merely the obstacles of ignorance and prudery from the pathway of medical science in its attack upon syphilis and gonorrhea.
 Sooner or later, may be sure the victory over venerea disease will be quite complete has been the control of smallpox. But the day should be hast ened, insofar as possible. The of syphilis to the public in all walks of life is very real Its annual damage to national health is virtually incaculable.
 Simply a Of self-protection if for no other reason, Alaska should not permit the nation wide campaign against syphilis to lack support here The menace is here; the need is here. Here is an opportunity to strike a telling blow against dire public health menace

The Headache in India
Philadelphia Record)


 In order to fight for democracy in Europe Great Britain is finding 1t necessary to invoke dictatoral powers in number of Indian provinces. The Mar guess of LinlthgoW has announced that emergency powers will be invoked a result of his failure to reach agreement with Hindu and Moslem leaders
 Tn spite of the long suspicion that Hndu-Moslem rivalry in India is carefully nurtured by the British it is hnted that this rift is due to the failure of the British to reach agreement with native leaders
 India is taking advantage of the to press for greater measure of independence, the same course taken by Ireland during the last The followers of Mahatma Gandhi, however, do not use violence, when conflict becomes acute the British quietly jail them, also without violence.
 Gandhi in the past has played his cards with shrewdnesS, and now that he has new hand it is almost certain that the of Indian independence will make further progress.
 Emergency powers and dictatorial methods will not stop the Congress party which seeks ultimate free dom for India. How much trouble Gandhi would want to make for Britain at this time is doubtful But his recent statements and those of his followers indicate that some of the best minds of the Empire will have to concentrate on the problem of India

Finland's Crisis
Cincinnati Enquirer


 When Hitler ready to annihilate Czecho- sovakia he told the world the Czechs aggressos and Germany would have to fight in elf-defense When he moved against Poland September l it was to combat aggression" Learning from Hitler Joseph Stain is at work creating the absurd myth of a Finnish threat to the Soviet Union.
 An editorial in Pravda of Moscow makes this ridiculous charge, masking only slightly Russian decision to compel the equalization of the Films by force if necessary It is this tone of coercion at Mos which makes the Russo Finnish dispute very grave
 Finland is country of less than 100000 people with organized army of about 125,000 To suppose threatens the Soviet Union with it's population of 16OOOOOO0 and its army of several millions too pre- posterous to deceive anybody.
 Neither could Finland be the spearhead of any other powers attack Russia In other circurn- stances, Finland might abet a German invasion oi Northern Russia But today that is out of the question
 The Films have made it plain they willing to give concessions But they not willing to give Russia naval base at Hangko at the head of the Gulf of Finland If they did so, they would have to allow Red Army garrison in the heart of their try.
 Events point to a deliberate unprovoked Russian attack on Finland although this may yet be avoided by compromise. If it comes to war, nobody anywhere will be in doubt to the responsibility Whether they get tangible aid against Russian imperialism or not the Films will have the sympathy of the whole world

From Tokyo comes the report of miniature poll conducted by Japanese magazines among poti- clans. businessmen and ntellectuals Of 50 replies half refuse to predict, five believe Germany will win and 20 believe the Allies will win. 4-to-1 prepon- derance is impressive, when it is largely non military opinion
 Sympathy for the Allies does not enter because

 The Red Cross. he said. has set IS a goal a million more members or this years Roll Call. He point d out that the Red Cross must be prepared to meet great demands or the augmented military person. leI.
 ''AS strictly neutral organiza- ion, established as such under the Treaty of Geneva, the Red Cross 'hares with the people of this colin- try the hope that this country will not be involved in a war" MT. Eos CT said. But in view of the very purpose for which it was establish ed, the Red Cross must be prepared for any emergency"
 Peacetime Function
 Red Cross War Service, MT. Eos ter pointed out, has peacetime as well as war time function. The organization carries on a daily pro- gram throughout .the country as- sisting veterans and those in the regular armed services, he said
 Tn military stations and hospit- tals throughout the country, the Red Cross during the past year as- sisted more than 50,000 soldiers, sail ors, marines and coast guardsmen, MT. Foster declared. Assistance was given in many forms. Thou sands of service men in this coun-

try as well as those stationed in our insular and foreign possessions were given assistance last year in an eff fort to solve problems arising from illness and other causes.
 Red Cross aid to disabled vet erans has been one of the largest programs of the Red Cross since the World War. Despite the fact that the conflict ended 2l years ago. the individual cases of 150,606 veterans of all wars came under the care of the Red Cross during the past year. In regional offices of the Veterans Administration and Government hospitals, representative of the Red Cross dealt with an additional 54, 792 ex-service men or their famil- ies.'
 Program For Relief
 MT Foster explained that the Congressional Charter of the Red Cross officially designates the or- ganlZaJlCn to carry on a program for the relief of soldiers in peace as well as in times of war.
 These services of helping veterans and those actively in the armed fore es with their problems" he declar- ed, "are founded on the recognized medical doctrine that anxiety, feal and other upsets weaken the morale of the able-bodied and delay the recovery of the sick.
 "If the Red Cross is to be better prepared to offer aid to these men the organization must have the membership support of a million more civic and periodically minded Americans. Those who enroll in the approaching Roll Call not only en- able the Red Cross to assist veter- ans and members of the armed forc- es but they support general pro- gram of many services which daily fights human suffering in its many forms
