Tuesday
Municipal and Township Tickets
Local and State Issues
Included

Bluffton voters will have a sizeable
job on their hands when they go to
their polling places next Tuesday and
accept the six ballots which will be
turned over to them to mark.
For an off year election six different
ballots are decidedly unusual, and it
is believed that the number will set a
new local record.
Three of the ballots will carry the
names of candidates for local offices.
Two of these will include the Bluffton
village ticket on which are listed NOM

Controversial Measures
A third ballot will carry names of
nominees for the Bluffton board of
education.
Controversial measures that have
evoked plenty of comment in Bluff
ton in recent weeks are listed on the
other three ballots.
One of these is to record sentiment
of the town with respect to authori-
zation of municipal sewage disposal
system. 1t calls for 65 per cent
vote in approval of an $4,000 bond
issue, which would represent a part
of the towns share of cost of the
100000 project.
Local Option Vote
Bluffton's vote on the wet and dry
question will be obtained on a separ-
ate local opinion ballot, which if ap-
proved by electors will ban the sale
of beer and light wines with excep.
ton of 3.2 beer.
A state amendment ballot, with fou1
suggested amendments, also will b,
presented. This includes the tive
highly controversial Bigelow amend
ments-that providing for new sys.
tenn of old age pensions, and the one
proposing to change the initiative
plan for submitting amendments and
laws to direct vote.
The Bigelow amendments will be
the second and third on the amend
ment ballot. The first will be con-
stitutional amendment, submitted by
the legislature, which provides for the
creation of a state board of education
The fourth and last proposition on the
state ballot is the referred bill to re-
organize the state civil service COM
mission.

she says, "If a plane has a small accident, ripping the fabric on the fuselage or something like that, I try to get the papers to call it a small accident, instead of labelling 1t a crash. It really isn't any more serious than a flat tire on a car"
 Miss Heflin, thinks the snug ness" of the small planes can best be pointed out by an incident that happened while the cub, con- voy was on its way to Miami. Eighteen of the planes, needing more gasoline, landed on high ways and taxied up to filling sta- tions with the nonchalant com mand of the ordinary tourist: "Fill 'er up.'
 Miss Hefiin thinks that if Amer ica gets into another war, women could be used for communication purposes behind the lines-f1ying light planes.
 That is, If there are enough wo- men pilots in the country to make them factor worth considering. Today there are less than 600 H. censed women pilots, and Miss Hefiin says, Probably not more than dozen of those are capable of handling big airliner."

Gloyifying Yourself

MA service Staff Writer

NEA 0GEVACG 0tNMs WEhbCk Very short hair, brushed upward with the ends finished in small ringlets, is the coiffure news of the moment. If you have liked your hair up, you'll like it even better short and up. If you have stuck to a long bob, consider how much cooler and more comfortable a short, casual arrangement will be during hot summer months.
 The short coiffure is really short hair all over the head about two inches in length. Then, at front, back and sides, the short locks are brushed upward. Usually one wave extends all the way around the head and the ends are curled in small ringlets.
 The woman who is handy with curlers (and' anyone who can em- broider or sew or do needlepoint ought to bel will find it a simple matter to take care of a short up- swept herself. At least once be- tween shampoos she'll moisten the short locks, separate them into tiny strands and wrap each strand around her favorite kind of curler. Afterward, she'll comb out the curls, then brush them over her forefinger Or she may simply brush them thoroughly and forget about ringlets, thereby achieving @ fatter- ing variation of the once-popular windblown bob. There is a great deal of talk about bangs, with several excellent hairdressers featuring them. Some are flat rolls, as shown on the Mona Lisa coiffrre at left. Others are straight--of the type Irene Bordoni made famous. And there are soft, fluffy ones, too.
 For the Anti Upswept
 For women who find upswept effects-short or long-too severe, too revealing, one important Fifth Avenue expert has created the Mona Lisa coiffure. This makes use of the long bob, but the long ends are finished in a fiat roll or folded curl that lies neatly on the nape of the neck. In the front, the hair is swept up from the temples to form long, fiat rolls. And sophisticated bang, also curled into a neat roll, may or may not be worn across the front. Otherwise, the hair is left completely unwaved, and very neat.
 If you decide to try short coif- fure remember that the more you brush it upward the lovelier and more manageable it will be. Use brush with long, flexible bristles and always hold the brush lightly in one hand. Lean forward, relax ing neck, then brush upward and outward. Straight up and continue the upward movements, wiping the brush on a towel after every ten or fifteen strokes.
 Regardless of the way you wear your hair, brushing is the great cure-all. In time, it will alleviate

CORRECT FURNITURE

Furniture arrangement to give the most balanced and pleasing effect will offer no serious prob lem if a rather general rule is remembered: place straight pieces of furniture at right angles to or parallel with the walls of the room - never across corners.

ceptional vitality a man might hope to survive three score and ten years.
 George Cheyne, born in Scotland in 1871, contrived by excesses in eating and drinking to attain the weight of AS pounds at the age of thirty. It need scarcely be said that he was short of breath, lethargic, listless-who wouldn't be, dragging nearly three hundred pounds of blub- Der around all the time? Some one must have used a strong argument on the canny Cheyne: the high cost of excess mutriment. He began diet- ing on milk and vegetables (vitamin rich foods, it may be noted, although vitamins were discovered yilree cen- turies later), and exercising freely, and so reduced to 150 pounds. In- stead of occupying two or three graves before middle age, as one so obese ordinarily would, Cheyne car- ried on in fine fettle to the age of 72 years. He wrote an essay on health and long life which was so good that Sir Wm. Osler quoted sev- eral Cheyne's axioms in the famous textbook on Practice of Medicinel" As a matter of curiosity here is one of the axioms quoted n fthe doctors bible"--
 "Every wise man, after Fifty, ought to begin to lessen at least the quantity of his Aliment, and if he would continue free of great and dangerous Distempers and preserve his Senses and Faculties clear to the last he ought every seven years go on abateing gradually and sensibly, and at last descend out of Life as he ascended into it, even unto the Child's Diet"
 By "ailment" Cheyne meant food, and "the Child's Diet" meant milk, or perhaps milk and gruels and some egg and cooked vegetables and cooked fruit.
 Another quotation from George Cheyne in Oslers Practice" is this:
 "Milk and sweet sound Blood diff. fer in nothing but in Color: Milk is Blood"
 OU hLiOWiCueC VI A5ulitAolA iido increased considerably since Osler's time, and although we still regard milk as the most nearly perfect food, we know it is poor in iron, for one essential, and few physicians today would approve of rigid or exclusive milk diet for more than a s:w weeks, even for child. Even the best grade of milk for infant, child or invalid, Certified Milk, is not rich enough in two important vitamins, namely vitamin c (which prevents scurvyJ and vitamin D (which prevents rickets) to maintain optimal nutri- tion when milk is the chief food in the diet. It is the universal prac- tice of physicians today to prescribe suitable daily ration of vitamin c and a suitable daily ration of vita- D for the infant or child or invalid on milk diet. t

from the war hysteria that char
acterized the budget message. Ir
his last message the President dis
claimed the "hysterical' impulses at
tributed to him by those who are op-
posed to the expenditure of this
enormous sum when we do not even
know against whom we are arming
The President is going to have q
hard time in getting the 1878 mil
lion dollars that he has asked fol
for ornaments as the people are ir
no mood for these enormous expen-
ditures, knowing that this war hys-
terra has been skillfully built up with
the idea of taking our minds off oul
domestic troubles. No doubt the
preparedness program will be pushed
to the fore now that the House has
disposed of the relief bill.
1t is rumored and not denied thai
the President formulated his pre-
paredness program without consult
ing with the Chiefs of the Army ano
Navy and there is some justification
for the suspicion that such is the
case as it has been openly charged
in the newspapers and not denied by
the White House.
More Money for Relief.
The House late Friday passed the
Deficiency Relief bill by a vote ot
399 to 16 after the committee haC
reduced the Presidents estimate o1
875 million dollars by $50 million
dollars. Several important amend
ments were attached to the measure
by the House. One would bar WPA
workers who attempt to influence
another relief employe politically
Another will eliminate wage differ
entails of more than Is percent be-
tween laborers in the same class
AS amended, WPA is barred from
employing aliens and officials would
be prohibited from taking persons
off the rolls because they had passed
the age of IS, or women with de-
pendent children. 1t is generally
believed that these amendments
greatly improve the measure.
The deficiency appropriation will
permit 2,377,049 workers to be car
ried on relief rolls through June 80
1t is hoped that in the interim Con-
gress may be able to work out a
definite policy for WPA. During the
two days of debate on the measure
it was brought out by Democrats
and Republicans alike, that WPA
was very active politically last fall
in a number of states which, if per-
mitted to 60 unchecked, would create
a dangerous situation and one that
might lead to enormous graft and
corruption. A system that robs an
American citizen of his heritage is
not only indefensible but most dan
gerous.
