"sWEET SIXTEEN"
A Column for You Alone

The time has come, l think, for
he teen-age girl to come into her
share Of the limellght. We've con-
,erned ourselves with the woman Of
forty, the housewife, the working
,irl, and the thirty-year-old, but
sweet sixteen" has been left to
clean such hints as she needs from
hem. So we will devote this
,olumn entirely to her.
Your Charms Are Natural
Many years ago someone gave me
his bit of advice which / am going
pass on to you. Just because
,Ou are In high-schOol now or pos
IDLY even on the verge Of gradual
ag and are allowed to 90 out at
light and have real dates" don't
initiate your elders too much.
there's time enough to be grown
p" Your youth Is your biggest
Irawing card, If you will only real
re it. Don't cover your fresh young
skin with thick coatings Of make
,p. A light busting Of powder and
faint tracing Of lipstick should be
efficient to set Off your youthful
harms. Wait until you are a little
der to use mascara and eye
ladOw. Your eyes are clear and
arkling enough without artificial
Is.
Vow is the time to build up habits
cleanliness and beauty which will
rye you we'll in later years. Make
a rule never to let stale makeup
og your pores. Always cleanse
our skin thoroughly before "doing
our face over" And never, never
to bed without first removing
our makeup. One good cream
hOuld be sufficient for the teen-age
irl, hOsh for cleansing and lubri-
atm.

Start Your Routine Now

Start Your Routine Now
Start taking care of your hands
now. Get a good hand-lotiOn to
keep them smooth and soft. Scrub
them thoroughly with a nail brush.
File your nails with an emory board
rather than with a steel file. And
If you use colOred pOlishes, pale
shades are more youthful and APP
prOpriate for the school girl than
the brighter shades.
Set aside a special time to brush
your hair and stick to 1t. II you
keep at it faithfully, it will become
habit that will stay with you
through the years and reward you
with healthy shining hair.
Watch your diet The growing
girl has a tendency to prefer sweets
and starches to the exclusion Of all
else. Eat plenty Of fresh fruits and
vegetables and drink lots Of water.
Proper diet can become as much q
habit as anything else.
And get at least eight hours sleep.
Everything seems SO new and ex-
citing when you are sixteen that IT
is hard to waste time sleeping. But
actually 1t is time well spent. You
can't burn the candle at both ends
and expect to remain always fresh
and charming. Try to be sensible.
Remember, If you take care Of your
self, you will stay young and lovely
much longer.

Raleigh Likes
Its New Chief
Daily Dispatch bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Nov. 2-Appontment as
Raleighs chief of police of AL H.
Young, World War veteran who is
still in his early 40's, seems to have
hit a very happy note; if comment
heard IN general conservation on the
subject is truly indicative.
Best thing seen about the appoint
ment by most of thee commenting
is that it was entirely non-political,
something that few Raleigh citizens,
long enured to having their police
chief the center Of great political
pressure, ever expected to live to see.
AS a result, the stock of Commits
sioner of Public Safety r. c. Powell,
target of much criticism since he
went into office earlier this year, APP
pears to have risen considerably with
the ordinary man on the street,
though whether it suited the political
forces which had much to do with
electine Powell is not as evident.
Approval of Young, by the Civil
Service Commission was given after
a session in which the commissioners
pried extensively into the life and
accomplishments of the appOintee.
Young came through the eXamina-
ton with flying colors, to all appear
ances, and will take office not later
than December /, Powell announced.
The new chief-to-be is quite we'll
known in many parts Of the State.
He is a graduate Of Duke University,
taught school in Brunswick county
and in Wilmington; was head Of the
Shelby office of the N. C. State En-
ployment Service and has command
ed three CCC camps, though none of
them was in North Carolina.
Here in Raleigh he has never been
known to take part whatever in local
politics-that's what seems to suit
everybody.
