WOMAN,S REALM
.BEAUTY.--~ GIorUying
 Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Stan Writer

No matter if her features and fig ure are perfect, the girl who doesn't shine with cleanliness just isn't her most attractive self.
 Her skin may be smooth and fine textured, but its loveliness will count for nothing if she doesn't clean her face several times 8 day, never put ting fresh makeup on over stale, of course. Her hair may be thick and naturally wavy, but it won't be stunning if it isn't scrupulously clean with the softness that comes from frequent shampooing. She may have beautiful hands, but nobody will know that, or care, if they are grimy as schoolboy's, with stained fngertips and clipped nail polish.
 With every smart, neat, dainty woman, a daily bath is must. During spring and summer weather, she supplements her nightly tub bath with quick morning shower. In very hot weather, she manages to find time for second shower late in the afternoon.
 Furthermore, she has accumulated few nice bits of equipment which make her nightly tub a relaxing, as well as a healthful, cleansing rou- tine. She has, for instance, both long and short-handled bath brush es. With the long handled one, she scrubs her back until her skin is pink and glowing. She uses the other on elbows, shoulders, feet and knees.
 That is, unless her skin is espe- cially sensitive, in which case she uses a rough, coarse washcloth mitt instead of a brush.
 Gentle massage with the bath brush loosens the tension at the back of her tired neck. The same type of massage does a great deal to make the toes and arches of her feet less weary. When the bath Is finished, rubdown with cologne or some kind of afterbath lotion. followed by light dusting with bath powder, leaves her tingling from head to toe. She's rested enough to face a party or relaxed enough to go straight to sleep.
 The frequency with which she washes her face with soap and water and the kind of cleansing equipment she uses depend on the texture of her skin. If it's very dry and ex- tremely sensitive, she uses soap and water only before going to bed, rubbing the rich lather around and around with the palms of her hands and fingertips. After a thorough rinsing with cold water, she immediately puts on night cream.
 In the other hand, one whose skin is quite oily and not sensitive by any means, might cleanse her face and throat with a complexion brush at night, gentler soap and water treatment in the morning. For the normal skin, a rough wash cloth at night, with cream cleansing in the borning and during the day, unusually is satisfactory.
 Unless you have some kind Of tonic preparation with which you can clean your hair perfectly, a weekly shampoo is in order. A week ly washing with soap and water will not harm the average head of hair any more than a daily wash ing with soap and water will injure the average skin.

STATE

All records of attendance were shattered at Warner pros. State theater over the weekend when thousands of patrons attended the showing of Dark Victory" the pro- duction that is currently judged as the biggest dramatic hit of 1889.
 Miss Bette Davis, two time Aca- demy Award winner, in the starring role completely captivated audiences with her brilliant performance. It is said that this is the greatest characterization of her career and sets a new mark in motion picture entertainment.
 As the heroine of the production in the role of a gay and carefree young leader of rich society set she enactS what she herself consid- CTS the finest part she has ever DOT trayed. The role is so unlike any that she has ever done before that it has created more comment and discussion than any production ill many year.
 In the male romantic lead op- poSite Miss Davis is the popular George Brent. Incidentally this marks the seventh time that he and Miss Davis have been teamed to- gether. His performance is surpassed only by that of the star.
 One of the most important char acters in the film is Humphrey Bogart who deviates from his long list of bad man" roles to turn ir a performance altogether unlike any he has ever done on the screen be- fore. The fascinating new find, Geraldine Fitzgerald, won the ap- proval of the audience for her. DOT travel in the second feminine lead
 Ronald Reagan, Henry Travers Cora Witherspoon and Dorothy Peterson are among the other notables who add to the enjoyment of the film.
 The latest of the famous Torchy Blanc series "Torchy Runs fol Mayor" is the second big hit of the program, Glenda Farrell and Bar ton MacLane are again seen in the co-starring leads.
 The most widely publicized film of the year "Confessions of Nag Spy" is coming soon to the State Watch the newspapers for further announcements.

 It is surprising in civilized country, that pre-supposes order and cleanliness, that instead of keeping our outdoors immaculate, we use it largely as dump.
 Now we come to the beginning of things and that is the training of our children.
 Most things come wrapped now. And, as usual, fruits have skins. One of the very first things a child should have fixed in his mind is to take care of the candy wrapper or orange skin in his hand.
 Once fixed, the habit of careful disposal will take care of itself. It is an essential of character.

CARE LENTHENS RUG LIFE

Buying a rug is usually consid- erable investment and the housewife should rightly expect good service in return. But she can do her part, too, to lengthen its wearability. She knows that good srug cushion not only lessens ordinary wear and tear, but makes the rug itself ap- pear thicker, softer. She turns the rug about occasionally to more even- ly distribute wear and she makes sure that no unevenneSs is allowed to remain underneath to cause ex- cessive wear in one spot. She goes over the rug with carpet sweeper every day, vacuums at least once week and has it shampooed or dry-cleaned once year. And if a tear or burn occurs. she has il mended right away. Also, she likes the new moth-proofing processes for both rug and cushion, believing sensibly, prevention is lots cheaper than cure.

Bracy Will
Likely Die
On Friday
Nine of Twelve Jurors
In Case Sign Petition
For Clenlency, But
Governor Declines

Clarence Bracy, 21-year-Old Ne
gro youth, will die in the gas cham
Der at State Prison in Raleigh to-
morrow morning about 1920 o'clock
for the fatal clubbing last Septem-
Der l of William H. Williamson, eld-
erly and widely known farmer Of
the Townsville section. Bracy's only
chance to escape death is in the
hands of Governor Hoey, and the
governor is reported to have adj
vised local attorneys for the Negro
that he would not interfere.
MIR. Williamson was attacked by
Bracy, according to testimony at the
trial here last October, the Negro
using a heavy wagon standard. His
motive was said to be robbery, and
he got molly some SO or $40. He was
captured by officers at Norlina the
night after the attack. Mr. William
son died in Maria Parham hospital
here few days later.
Bracy was represented at his trial
by j. H. Bridgers and Jasper B.
Hicks, who were appointed by the
court as defense attorneys. Mr.
Bridgers said today Edwin Gill.
State commissioner of pardons and
paroles, had advised that Governor
HOey would not interfere with the
execution.
Mr.. Bridgers said that nine of the
y jurors who sat on the jury that
convicted Bracy had signed a petit
ton to the governor asking for Gle
mency. Three of the twelve Jurors
refused to sign the petition, he said.
Sheriff L. L. Swanson said he
was advised by Warden H. H. Will
son, Of State Prison, that six tickets
were available for admission of
vance county people to the gas
chamber for the execution. The
sheriff said he would probably at
tend but did. not know who the
other five would be.
Ii executed tomorrow morning
Bracy will be the second condemn
ed man ever to be executed from
THIS county since the State has been
conducting executions in Raleigh
since 1910. A convicted burglar was
electrocuted several years ago.
