Glorifing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff. Writer

"The look of old leather is prized in the library but not in the com- plexion," says Fifth Avenue neau- ty expert. Don't let a glowing tan fade into a sallow, muddy tan, she warns. "This is the time to eliminate completely all traces Of the roughened, windblown appear ance which was smart with slacks and play suits"
 The expert recommends special bleaching treatments in place or your regular beauty routines. You should begin them right now ana continue until your complexion IS white, soft and petal-smooth again.
 After thorough cleansing, apply 6 special bleaching cream, mold It into the skin for several minutes, then remove with soft tissues. Now smooth on a little special skin clear ing cream and leave 1t on for about an hour. If you do not have this type of preparation, apply a mask according to directions. Always pat rich cream into face and throat after a mask treatment, of course.
 End -of f-summer masks ought to include bleaching properties. If you make your own, of oatmeal or al- mond meal, moisten with fresh lemon juice instead of water, and apply in the regular manner.
 USE LEMON AS BLEACH
 IN AN EGG MASK
 If you like an egg mask, put q few drops of lemon in the bowl of beaten white and a few more in the bowl of whipped yolk. After cleansing face and throat, paint on & layer of white-with- demon, let dry, then apply coat of yolk. with-lemon. Repeat in layers until all of the egg is used. Rest for tweny minutes while the mask hardens. Rinse of with tepid water.
 Don't forget to put little cream around eyes and on throat at night. Massage it in gently and leave the excess on while you sleep. Plenty of cream and some kind of effica. cious, though gentle, bleaching treatment give the answer to the average complexion problem at this time of year.

CHOCOLATE, COCOA, COFFEE
 AND TEA

Coffee, tea, cocoa and chocolate are mildly stimulating beverages, here named in the order of their strength. The stimulant in coffee is called caffeine, in tea theine, in cocoa or chocolate theohromine. A cup of any of these beverages con- tains e small medicinal dose of the respective alkaloid. The effects of caffeine, theine or theobromine are similar-increased cerebral activi- ty, increased heart action, increased kidney excretion. Of the three, cof- fee is the most stimulating to the brain: theobromine most stimulate ing to the kidneys. Because of the diuretic action of cocoa or choco- late (theobromine), that Is, inc creased kidney function, 1t is in. advisable to give cocoa or chocolate to young children in the afternoon or evening. Tn fact milk is the best beverage for children under sixteen years of age, in my judgment, Only when Q child refuses to drink milk but drinks 1t when 1t is favored with cocoa or chocolate, should that be permitted.
 Adults who are subject to any nervous disturbance, such as hyper. thyroidisin or exophthalmic goitre, insomnia, high blood pressure, in. creased basal metabolism, should take these beverages only under the approval of the physician,
 For ordinary well folk two or three cups of tea, coffee, cocoa or chocolate daily may be taken.
 Aside from personal taste It makes no difference whether the beverage is taken clear, with cream or milk or with sugar.
 A good deal of hooey has been propagated by vendors of noStrums in the effort to teach people that coffee Is in some way harmful in itself. Ordinary well folk need not be concerned about that. The sane world owes much to these benefi- cent beverages. It would be a line thing for this country If there were more and better coffee shops, bars or stands, and not 30 damned many cocktail lounges. When person Is tired, worn out, weary or exhausted he needs . cup to cheer but not inebriate. H-r
 The disturbance of digestion too often ascribed to the moderate use of coffee is in fact due, in. most instances, to the abuse of the bev. erage-washing down unmasticateo food with 1t. Any other beverages used in that way would be as harm. full.
 The art of making good coffee t essentially culinary, perhaps, vel the health and temperament oi millions may change for better oi worse under the influence of good or bad coffee-for instance, a mar who leaves home in the morning with the sense Of well being one derives from good coffee Is less likely to resort to alcoholic liquor to "cheer him up" or make him feel better" than Is the chap whc has encountered a mess of atrocio,is murk from which the aroma has been evaporated into the ambient air. Again, a man on a tour with his own wife, wot, has less pro- vocation to murder the lady over the choice of routes. manner oi driving, etc. If they are lucky enough to get breakfast in place one would not mind eating in again
 It Is & mistake to boil coffee in any circumstance. When you can smell the coffee all over the place you may be sure there is crime in the kitchen. tH
 So maybe we, had better brew c pot of didactic coffee for the edifica-

Schoolgirl Movie Stars Get "A" For Smartness
Nv LUCIE NEVILLE


 NEA Service stan Correspondent
 Hollywood Hollywoods high school age girls have very decided views on what they should and shouldn't wear -ideas that young movie fans, who want to be popu- lar, might well follow tor style and good taste.
 Two of the best-dressed and best- liked girls in the film colony are lS. year old Jane Withers, beginning her Freshman year, and Bonita Granville, l6, who got her high school diploma just last June. Their gangs include as many public school as studio-tutored youngsters, so they know exactly what i've" will wear this fall.
 For classes, they say sweaters and skirts first. Bunny Granville calls them "the Hollywood uniform" She knitS many of her sweaters so they won't look like everybody else's. Jane is delighted that she can wear the uniform, too. Said she was too fat for sweaters until this year.
 Both enthusiastically okay Tyro- lean styles, but say don't overdo them so that you look as if you were goinN to skiing party. New Variants of sweaters and blouses, they report, are brilliant colored silk jersey shirts and lumberjacks of suede or plaid wools. Two-piece wool jersey dresses are good, espically If the skirt and blouse are different colors. White pique collar-cuff- -and- bolera or "weskit" sets are swell If you keep them clean.
 PERSONAL TOUCH
 IMPORTANT
 Jane, an avid knitter and strug- gling seamstress, believes in the personal touch and had e lot of ideas for popping up the uniform" T usually get some novelty pins to put on the front of my sweaters" she said. T knit lots of little wool dolls, in pairs, and fasten them on crocheted cords, to tie under my collars. I had crocheted 6 big purse of multi-colored yarn and when l saw how popular the postman bags were, made a two-inch strap of the wool, too, so I could sling the purse over my shoulder"
 Their pet of the season is Q jacket of lambs wool, just like the powder puffs, bottoned in silver bells with diagonal slit pockets, wide cuffless sleeves and a hood. It's lined in Scotch plaid wool, but Bunny Gran vile said If she can get 1t with solid colored lining, she'll wear hers for an evening wrap. Jane plans to keep hers for her vacation, trip to New Zealand and Australia as soon as she finishes "Highschool," her current picture. The jacket Is above the average budget-about $50-but 6 'teen-ager with 6 rich and indul- gent relative might start limiting about 1t now for . Christmas present.

QUESTIONS ( ANSWERS
 Deafness


 My hearing has been greatly ini- paired by what . specialist called only catarrhal condition" Is vitamin B-complex likely to help me any What effect on hearing has heavy smoking and drinking9 l seem to be worse after . party" (Miss 4. s)
 Answer-From the nature of your inquiry 1t would seem that you should double your second initial. Of course alcohol and tobacco, in any quantity, are harmful to the hearing. Only way to find out whether vitamin B will help Is Jy taking 1t for . few months. Send stamped envelope bearing your ad- dress and ask for monograph uzs deafness and head noises,
 Not a Cubit
 Is there any truth in the claims Of the institute regarding their guaranteed course on height increase? (W.G.RD
 Answer-No Of course no one can guarantee to increase stature.
 Brady Out -Braydied
 I have often wondered why they don't kick you out of the medical so- ciety. Here you have surpassed yourself, telling this poor woman. who has valvular heart trouble, that if she can hold her breath 70 sec onds or run up twenty steps and have c normal" pulse two minutes afterward, her heart is all right and she can stand the strain of child. birth. It is bad enough (R. S., Doctor" of unrevealed variety).
 Answer-I did not tell the lady her heart is all right. I told her that if she could pass those tests her circulation is efficient. Bless your heart, brother, if they could get any thing on me that would stand up under an honest scrutiny, the old fogies would have kicked me out of the medical society years ago.
 Spinal Curvature
 Please explain how curvature of the spine affects the health. I am seventeen and have it. Does it affect health more when person gets older? (N. G)
 Answer = Chapters in booklet "v-I-T-E Spells Youth" deal with chronic fatigue, the posture of health, spinal curvature. I think the faulty nutrition and poor health affects thes pinal curvature. Send ten cents, coin and 1-cent-stamped envelope bearing your address for copy of this booklet. Proper physical education, correction of faulty nu- triton. perhaps some special exer- cises will correct the bad posture in your teens. If neglected the de- formity may become fixed.

Germany's volkswagon
By Central Press

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Auto- mobiles that sell for less than S400 and get 35 miles to a gallon of gaso- line, cars that run on wood or char coal, gasoline made from coal, rub Der made from limestone and coal these are the answers of Germany and Japan to threat of blockade in event of war and loss of their pet roleum supplies.
 !, Germany's Volkswagon or .strength-through-joy" car would appeal to many Americans. De- signed to make the Reich independ- ent of foreign manufacturers and place an automobile within the means of every German, it is to sell for 1896 in $40 weekly install- nienls.
 It's designers claim for it a speed . of 50 m.p.h.. gasoline consumption of only a gallon every 35 miles. and 60,000-mile usage without repairs. Tha-engine is in the rear. permitting space for luggage and spare tire under the hood and increased leg room for passengers.
 , Five models have been turned out for demonstration purposes. Con- mercial production begins this fall. with delivery in 1940.
 Short on petroleum but long on fow-grade coal, Germany. also has developed methods of extracting gasoline from coal and is using fuel Increasingly. Synthetic rubber. made from coal, limestone, water and air, also is extensively used and will be employed in the volkswagon tires. Cars that burn wood instead of gasoline are another of Germany's answers to possible blockade. Thou
