Women Must
Utilize Their
Natural Gifts Gifts
By PATRICIA LINDSAY


SOMEONE has said, "No beau
~ ties are born, all are made"
And what hope and encouragement
to all women lie in that statement!
True it is that few of us are born
beautiful but persistency in making
the most of what Nature endowed
us with does make us attractive.
And after all, it is the interesting
looking woman today, rather than
the pretty-pretty, who is recognized
and toasted as the modern beauty.
The woman who has developed her
natural gifts by being beauty-loving
and >beauty-seeking.
Gone are the days when ones ear
nest devotion to good looks was
frowned upon, or when doctors
voiced their disapproval of cosmet-
les. Today it is considered a wom-
ans duty to society to be as lovely
as possible and leading physicians
believe strongly that the healthy,
normal woman should keep astride
of her times and make herself most
attractive.
No matter what your age, your &C.
cupation, your circumstances, you
owe it to yourself as woman, and
to those around you, to make the
most Of your feminine heritage.
Husbands and children alike uncon-
sciously dote on wives and mothers

Heavyweight Threat

THOUGH Lou Nova, California's
outstanding contribution to the
boxing world, clearly deserved his
recent 15-round victory over Tommy
Farr, it is quite evident that he is
not yet ready for the big boss
Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis.
Nova can punch, box and keep
cool. But his footwork and over
anxiousness are against him. His
fight with the granite jawed Welsh
man was his first 15-round battle,
and he didn't get his second wind
during that untraveled route until
the thirteenth round.

How Allows Are Produced

Alloys are produced by combining
two or more metals, usually by
melting them together. The combi-
nation of different metals may be
made to increase specific chemical
or mechanical properties or to Gre
ate properties not possessed by any
of the constituents. Steel is an alloy
of iron and carbon. Copper and
zinc are alleged to make brass.
Nickel silver is a combination of
copper, nickel, and zinc, and bronze
is an alloy of copper, zinc, and tin.

A Famous Dungeon

One of the most famous dungeons
in history is in the Chateau de Chill
Ion on Lake Geneva in Switzerland.
Between 1880 and 1886, says Col
lier's Weekly, it was the prison of
Francois Bonivard, a politician and
the hero Of Byron's poem, "The
Prisoner of Chillon." Since that
time, countless tourists have visited
the cell and thousands have in
scribed their names on it's walls,
among them being Byron, George
Sand and Victor Hugo.

Speaking of Sports
Winter Sports
Show Healthy
Growth in u. S.
By ROBERT McSHANE

MOT many years ago the average
~ Americans program of winter
sports was confined to the closest
vacant-lot skating rink, or to the
more adventuresome, an evening OF
daredevil tobogganing on a gently
graded slope down which a circus
fat woman could navigate safely.
All that has changed. No longer
does the well-bundled witness OF a
high school ski meet look upon
himself as a rough and ready ath-
lete. No, indeed. Today he dons a
pair of skis or skates and partici-
pates almost as actively in winter
sports as in golf or tennis.
Millions of Americans now forsake
the fireside in favor of the skating
ponds and ski slopes. And they
don't go merely to watch. They take
an active part.

made easier for the beginner. For
the average participant, there has
been a shift from the spectacular
sport of ski-jumping to the more
popular sport of down-hill ski rum
ming on slopes and trails"
This, however, doesn't mean that
ski-jumping is losing the public's
favor. On the contrary, more peo-
pie than ever are interested in
watching the experts demonstrate
their prowess. 1t does mean that
it is possible for the average per-
son of both sexes to enjoy them
selves on skis without being COM
pletely skilled in the art of jumping.
Facilities Improved
Another important factor is that
more areas and facilities for skiing
are being opened and improvements
in safe and practical skiing equip
ment and lighter, warmer and more
serviceable winter clothing are be-
ing provided.
Snowshoeing, coasting and tobog-
gaming are holding their traditional
popularity, and are adding new en-
thusiasts all the time as people turn
more and more to the outdoors.
Their simplicity makes them ideal
for the beginning winter sportsman.
The campaign promoted by the
National Sports Council encourages
people to take part personally in
some sport or recreation as an
antidote to the American habit of
taking sports vicariously by sitting
at a radio or by getting a second
hand view at the movies.

The steady growth in the popular

MYrnu 10y epitomizes the charm
for which women should strive.
An drresting. smiling personality.
an interest in her work. and q
piquunt beauty enhanced by
scrupulous grooming.
for a few good cosmetics-specifc
aids for ailing skin or hair and
those necessary to preserve person
al daintiness. To these, every wom-
an has a right-they assist her men
tally.
But just as pertinent as cosmetics
to a woman's loneliness is the right
approach to living. Gracious
thoughts and characteristics, an ac-
tive interest in something other than
herself and her home, a desire to
be an inspiration to society, rather
than a burden. Such attachments
certainly enhance the charm any
woman creates by being pleasing to
look at.
Keep Child's Mind
Active
If you are truly concerned about
her beauty you cannot fail to keep
her mind active and growing. What
nonsense to allow her to concen-
trate on makeup! Teach her simple
daily groomings. Fill her day with
small duties and childish pleas
ures. Let her grow! Every child
loves to be read to. Every child
loves to paint and draw pictures.
Think up new activities that will
teach her to be self-re1iant and pro-
gressive.
There is no beauty as appealing
in all the world as child's beauty.
1t must be held sacred. 1t must
not be SCARED by stupid parents
who feel that artificial beauty aids
can possibly make their child more
attractive!
Body health, skin health, mental
health are the goals to be reached.
Help your child by concentrating
on those. She will grow to lovely
womanhood, happy in the knowl-
edge that her parents were wise par
ents who did not sacrifice her youth
needlessly.

NEUTRALITY

The present neutrality act was
passed for the express purpose of
keeping the United States out of
foreign wars. The amendments that
are suggested to the neutrality act
would give additional power to the
President to act solely upon his own
responsibility in identifying which
are aggfessor nations, and leave IL
to him to impose embargos on ex-
ports of munitions and other essen
tlal war supplies. The issue will be
over proposed amendments or stick
ing to the neutrality pOlicy-as is
until there is a war threat to be con-
sidered.
The opponents to the amendment
indicate that there are no political
questions involved as between Con-
gress and the President but that they
believe that no one person should be
clothed with the power to choose be-
tween cOmbatant nations.
On the other hand friends of the
amendment feel that if the Admins
tratiOn is free to act il might pre-
vent a conflict. and that a positive
gesture upon the part of Congress
itself against a warning country
Japan, for instance-wOuld be more
apt to precipitate war.

DON'T TURN BACK THE CLOCK

It's a curious paradox that there
is no question as to the necessity
and merit of mass production of
goOds-yet. at the same time, there
is an aggressive, politically-inspired
campaign underway to destroy mass
productions essential ally - mass
distribution.
II would be ridiculous to suggest
that we go back to the handicraft
age in the production of motor cars.
electrical devices. building materials,
furniture or almost anything else in
common use and demand. The cost
of these necessities would be inflated
many times. Where almost all the
population can purchase them now,
only a small per cent could enjoy
them at anywhere near the extent
they do now. if they were produced
by the slow methods that preceded
the industrial age.
II would be equally ridiculous to
attempt to turn back the clock and
outlaw mass distribution. Most every
cne knows that the cost of distribut-
ing a product has often been as great
as the cost of making it-and in
many instances much greater. Mass
distribution reduces this cost and
makes it possible to pass OH to the
consumer the great savings effected
by modern manufacturing and pro-
ducing methods. Efficiency in manu-
iaeture is of no service to the con-
sumer-if waste in distribution Off
sets II. ...
TOday's real problem is not how
to destroy mass distribution. but how
to extend it-hOw TO bring still more
of the economies of manufacture to
the hard-pressed buyer. If the pub
lie welfare is the determining ques-
tion. there should be an end to the
senseless harrying of those groups
which are working TO perfect distri-
bution-and. in its place. policy of
the utmost encouragement.

Harry +. Byrd was governor of
Virginia about the same time that
Franklin DelanO Roosevelt was gov

the "prOgressives" who reorganized
the state government of Virginia. and
simplified it, and made it SO efficient
that the Old Dominion bounded ahead
more in the next dozen years than it
had since the State House was used
for the capitol OF the Confederacy.
Byrd lives ia Winchester and his
county Frederick votes almost solidly
for him every time there is a chance.
But the Hyde Park-Krum-Elbow

demonstrate that way for FDR. Still.
that may be unimportant.
Senator Byrd now presents five

THE NEVADA PLANS

The two Senators and Representa-
tive from Nevada, one Of the sllvel
states. have introduced bills Il
amend the Silver Purchase Act. Sen
ator McCarran's bill does not pro
vide for purchasing OF foreign sill
yer. But 1t does raise the price for
all silver mined in the United States
territory to 81 an ounce-a boost OF
about one-third over the present
price, which would be in the nature
of a subsidy to domestic silver In
terests and miners.
The bills that bear Senator Pitt
mans and Representative Schug-
hams names are identical. They not
only would reenact all the objection
able features of the Act of 1884, but
according 10 Richard w. Lawrence,
president of the Chamber of Com
merce OF the United States, II would
multiply the subsidy the govern
ment now pays domestic mining in
terests."
Just why Senator Pittman wants
to put the United States in cOmpe-
tition with older nations in barter
bargaining is not so clear. but his
bill provides that foreign nations
selling silver to the United States
must apply the proceeds, or credits.
"solely in the purchase and payment
of exports from the United States of
products of the United States"
According to the most capable au-
thorities the silver purchase act has
cost the United States more than a
billion dollars, and governments
throughout the world have abandon
ed the United States in the use of
silver for international credit bal
ances. The American silver policy is
