ROSEBUD MOUTHS ARE OUT - by Sylvia Blythe

- osEBUDs are better in the garden
Il this year than on your lips. The
u American lip line has changed
toward a more natural beauty. bee
stung" lips and rosebud pouts are as
dated as last years hats. If you doubt
it, consult with Hollywood, where the
experts of the world contrive to glorify
every human feature.
Mel Berns, Hollywood makeup
chief for one of the leading film COM
panies, says that he frequently makes
up the mouths OF stars to appear one

More mouth adds to girls ex-
pressiveness," he says. Il flare her

which think you will find of practical
help. He uses a lipbrush. The ad-
vantage is a fine, hair-like outline for
the first tracing and smooth finish
when you brush color in. With
brush. you can smooth over the skin
between natural lip line and the added
lip line. covering up differences in
texture between lip tissue and flesh.
There is an inexpensive brush you can
buy with sharp pointed sable tip tor
fine outlining. 1t comes in a long
holder with jaws that open to expose
the brush and close to seal it against
germs when it is not in use. You can
use it with regular lipstick by simply
brushing it across the exposed stick
to draw off a supply of color.
Begin to make up your lips in the
center of your upper lip. Brush your
rouge on in long. gently curving line.

rather than an arched little Cupid's
bow. Avoid sharp angles under the
nostrils and noticeably quick half
circles. Strive for length, ripeness and
rich lines, instead of over-refined effects.
If you have a small mouth and
heshy upper lip, you can make your
mouth look larger and farther away
from your nose by widening the cleft.

weapon its critics-among them
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Hull-have contended it was. AS the
President stated in his first procla-
nation yesterday, even the laws Of
neutrality do not interfere with "the
free expression Of opinion and SYM
pathy" by American citizens. Given
a few more Athena incidents, few
more bombings of homes and apart
ment buildings, and Mr.. Roosevelt
will not need to take. the initiative
in summoning Congress into special
session to revise our neutrality pro-
gram. Public opinion will make the
demand for him-not only out of
sympathy for the besieged democ-
racies overseas, but out of fear that
the sweep of aggression, If not stem
med in time, eventually will imperil
our own democracy-perhaps even
our own lives and liberties.

Formula for Individual
Course Suggested.


To the Editor Of The Star:
At this time when we (the American
people, are so gripped by the drama and
horror of the swift-moving events OF
Europe, there is danger that we may
forget that each one of us has definite
part in shaping the course that our own
country will take in this crisis.
AS during the World War, we will be
bombarded with propaganda from every
quarter. For even though we may not
realize it ourselves, the combatant ma
tions seem to understand perfectly that
the course taken by the United States
depends almost entirely upon the atti-
tude of the American people; and the
attitude of the American people is moth
ing more or less than the sum total Of
the attitudes of you and me and all Of
the other hundred and thirty-odd mil
lion American citizens.
A clear understanding OF some Of the
facts of the present situation will be
helpful. Il particularly like the inter-
pretation of ex-President Hoover, "shall
We Send Our Youth to War;" in the Au-
gust American Magazine and reprinted
in the September Readers Digest.)
But to acquire sound attitude, we must
go beyond this; we must ind the course
that God would have US take In the
present hour Of need.

Germuny's Guilt

The shocking story OF the tor
pedoing of the British steamer
Athena, told by survivors of that
frightful ordeal, fixes Nazi Germany
with responsibility for one of the
most wanton atrocities of modern
times. When it is remembered that
the Athena was loaded with men,
women and children fleeing from
the war zone, and that it could not
possibly have been carrying any
implements of war-facts which
must have been known to the COM
mander of the submarine-the at
tack on the defenseless ship borders
on the fantastic.
Germanys efforts to clear herself
by attributing the sinking OF the
ship to a British mine is completely
refuted by the accounts Of survivors
who not only saw the submarine but
also saw two shots fired at the
stricken Athena as her passengers
were trying to save themselves in
lifeboats. The vigor of her current de-
mails indicates that the Nazi govern
ment is aware of the hostile world
sentiment certain to be aroused by
such barbaric warfare, and suggests
the possibility that the submarine
commander may have acted without
authority from his government. But,
if that be the case, it follows that
the German government has un-
leashed its undersea forces in the
hands of irresponsible and inhuman
men, a policy no less reprehensible
than authorized attacks on pas
senger ships.
Regardless of whether the sinking
of the Athena is the forerunner
of unrestricted submarine warfare,
Secretary Hull has acted wisely in
forbidding Americans to travel on
the high seas except in cases of real
necessity. It is going to be difficult,
at best, to chart Americas course
with respect to the war now raging
In Europe, and our ultimate decision
in that regard should not be preju-
diced by permitting our citizens
needlessly to expose themselves to
the danger that German submarines
with or without official sanction
will continue to regard helpless pas
senger vessels as legitimate objects
of attack.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. Tracetpeu.

eyes or mouth Of the poor turtle, Its
days are ended little sooner than It's
fate otherwise would caV for.
Altogether, this practice Is very poor
one.
Probably little can be done about 1t.
except to educate purchasers Of such
livestock to regard the unpainted crea-
lures as far more interesting and pretty
than the painted.
This is dificult, because unfortunately
there Is q large segment Of humanity
which insists on regarding the tre-
mendously artificial as always better
than the natural.
Nature friends who want these small
specimens for pets should always insist
on the natural green shells, and maybe
in time the practices of making souvenirs
out Of them will be discontinued.
Usually both the unpainted and paint
ed are to be found side by side, heaped
in masses and crawling over each other,
in the shallow pans in which they are
kept.
A word may not be amiss as to the
general care of all pet turtles kept In
shallow bowls. Most persons know
enough about them to realize that they
will drown If they cannot get their
heads out. That is why bowls used are
shallow, with q place where the turtle
can crawl out.
Two mistakes generally made Is to
fail to give the pet plenty Of fresh meat,
and to fail to give 1t plenty Of sunshine
Deprivation of the minerals and vita
minis in fresh beef, and of the natural
sunshine vitamin," D, spell disintegra-
ton Of the shell, blindness and ultimate
death.
The manufactured turtle food" sold
for 10 cents, is only partly adequate. 1t
will keep them alive for . certain length
of time. but only in gradual decline.
Scraped beef should be offered, when
the animal refuses to eat, and care must
be taken. especially in fall and winter,
to give it opportunities for sunbaths.
Refusal to eat is not serious, for there
is . natural Information period with
them, when they eat little. To eat the
wrong thing is worse with them-as with
mankind-than to eat nothing at all, at
least up to a certain point.
AS to the big outside turtles. no care
is necessary as to their diet. They take
care Of themselves, and do 1t very we'll
Old Humpy, who has been in our yard
for eight or nine years, seems fat and
healthy at all seasons. We see him
about twice year, usually in summer,
and pick him up in greeting. whereupon
he promptly responds by going into his
shell.
Surely this Is one Of the oldest of all
living things, and reminder to US of the
antiquity Of man, who sometimes seems
to have learned as little, In all his mil
lion Of years, as the tortoises.

Most suburban and many city yards
have their pet turtles.
Really tortoises, they come and 60,
slowly growing, usually showing up In
the same garden year after year.
Old Sam, or whatever he is called, is
as much part of the garden as the dog
or cat although he may not be seen
more than once or twice a year.
Often he has been brought from the
summer home, but in many cases he
just suddenly appears, is noted, and then
forgotten until he shows up again.
It is an amazing thing how these
shelled creatures manage to survive,
year after year.
His shell, of course, is not as silly as
it looks.
That shell has purpose in natures
design; it really protects. Not against
automobiles, of course, but certainly
against many small animals
The really amazing survival is in the
city.
Many yards have their pet turtles,
which come and 60, just as they do In
the suburbs, but without as much chance
for concealment
There are great many more persons,
in the city, too, and therefore the crea-
ture has many more chances of being
discovered
Still it manages to get by.
Probably the reason is that the av-
erage turtle" has very limited range.
There seems to be no way Of checking
up on this.
Initials and dates cut in shells show
the ages, but not the wanderings. All
that one can know is that it Is the same
creature.
These carvings in the live shell
which also grows-do not harm the land
turtle.
AS much cannot be said for the sense
less decorations, so-called, painted on
the backs of the small specimens from
the South
These are not the same as the ordi-
nary small land specimens found here
abouts, and especially painting is not the
same as carving.
These creatures, usually sold for a
dime, with a great rose or other picture
painted all over the back, cannot survive
in the outdoors.
Usually their life is short, owing to
the lack of knowledge of the average
purchaser of their needs.
This is only part of the failure toward
them, however.
The worst is the paint.
The type used precludes the growth of
the shell, which merely curls UP over
the body, and this ultimately kills the
turtle.
Removing the paint is task. If any
OF the paint remover should get in the

The Markets Move

Yesterdays spectacular demon
stration Of buoyancy by American
security and commodity markets was
an initial symptom of the dislocation
certain to descend upon this Nations
economy as an aftermath of major
war in Europe. Obviously such dis
location will not be entirely benevo-
lent in character, despite its effect Of
bringing a quick touch Of wealth to
those currently owning stocks or
commodities in the wartime cate
CORY.
Rising prices for products of do
mestic consumption will parallel ris-
ing market quotations, in fact, may
very likely hold a steadier and more
consistent upward course. Quite
probably the ordinarily calculable
inter relationships between costs,
prices, supply and demand, will be
so distorted as to become untrust-
worthy. And about our whole econ
omy will be the hectic flush of some
thing not fundamentally healthy.
At the same time the forethought
of governmental and business au-
thorities in attempting to formulate
precise plans for meeting wartime
conditions should have powerful ef-
feet in moderating the unusual in
fuences to be encountered. Indeed,
the very buoyancy Of the markets
and their continued operation, even
though periodic reaction may be ex-
pected, contrast favorably with their
depression and temporary closing in
the opening days of the World War.
In this connection one foreign de-
velopment contributing to the mar
ket's upward surge rather than in
fuencing them downward was the
disclosure of several days ago by the
British government that it will ex-
ercise very complete control over the
disposition of British-owned Ameri-
can securities. Under such circum-
stances of virtual mobilization the
danger of precipiate dumping OF
foreign-own holdings on the Amer
ican markets is definitely averted.
Liquidation, when deemed necessary
as a means of providing cash for
British purchases here, will proceed
in orderly fashion.
Presumably, the Canadian and
French governments, whose nation
ais likewise have broad ownership of
American securities, will take compa-
rable steps to see that their own
holdings are not deprecated by un-
regulated selling.
When it is noted that some ST.
0,0O0,O00 in American exports in
1915 and 1915 were paid for from the
proceeds of security sales by their
nationals, the present possession Of
such certificates to an estimated
value of $4,000, 100000 may clearly be
seen to constitute a potentially pow
erful factor in our economic picture.

pressed closer and closer to the capt.
tai. Meantime evidence accumulates
that the Poles may even evacuate
Warsaw, in order to make their great
stand at prepared positions on the
Vistula.
Hitler's strategy, it has been re-
ported for some time, Is to conquer
and occupy Poland, subdue her
military resistance, confront Britain
and France with the fait accompli,
and then perhaps offer peace-of
course, on Nazi terms. That peace
could be had on any such conditions
is unthinkable. The western powers
have not unsheathed their mighty
sword for Poland alone. They are at
war for an issue far outstripping the
independence of that country. They
have challenged Hitlerism to a fight
to the finish, as Prime Minister
Chamberlain's immortal broadcast
from No. 10 Downing Street cate
gorically proclaimed. Poland's doom,

line-Germany's strong west wall"-
at both it's northern and southern

General Gamelin to take the initia-

enemy. Britain's simultaneous air
raid on Wilhelmshaven and Cux-
haven, at the western end Of the
Kiel Canal, with resultant damage
to two German battleships, signifies
British readiness for the offensive in
addition to the iron blockade which
the fleet has already thrown around

Urges Labor Leaders
To Pull Together.

Urges Labor Leaders
To Pull Together.
To the Editor OF The Star:
The annual celebration OF Labor Day
has a meaning for the Nation at large
as well as for unionized workers. 1t
affords the toilers an opportunity to
demonstrate their strength, their dig
nifty, their idealism. But also 1t pro-
vides an opportunity for the manifesto
ton of responsibility; and this year,
perhaps as never before, that aspect of
the occasion should have been impor-
tant. With Europe embroiled in fratri-
cidal strife, the need for unity in Amer
lea requires little explanation. During
the months which lie ahead the people
Of the United States must be bound
together in an effective solidarity. He
who dared to attempt to take ad-
vantage of the world emergency for
selfish purposes would be regarded as
traitor to civilization. Neither the en-
ployers nor the wage earners can be
permitted to forget that they owe a
primary duty to the Republic. Democ-
racy must function in positive terms in
our common country.
This does not mean that labor is to
be asked to surrender the hard-won
gains of the past. Neither is there any
just or equitable reason why progress
should not be continued But liberty is
not license and it is the obligation of
every citizen, without regard to class,
to be more definitely mindful OF the
general welfare than of his own. II
sacrifices are demanded, they must be
given without complaint. The storm
now raging abroad may spread to Amer
lea. 1t is conceivable that the United
States will be unable to avoid involve
ment in the war. But whether peace
is maintained or lost, there can be no
proper question about harmony and CO.
operation at home. Especially in q uni
versal crisis, it should be the wish of all
popular leaders to pull together. The
captains of labor could have done worse
than make use of Labor Day to achieve
a restoration of peace among themselves
to the infinite benefit of their followers
and the public in general. If that OBJ
jective were accomplished, all factions
would have something notably worth
while to celebrate in 1910.

The Allied Offensive

If there is any one in the Nazi
high command whose star momen-
tarily must be in the descendant,
that worthy is Joachim Won Ribben-
trop, foreign secretary-the man
who, ever since the remilitarization
of the Rhineland, has been telling
Hitler that the British and the
French would not fight.
Events between 1885 and 1899
seemed indeed to stamp the former
champagne salesman as a seer Of
uncanny powers of intuition. His
influence with the Fuehrer mounted
prodigiously as Won Ribbentrop sue
cessively and accurately assured him
that Austrian anschluss, seizure of
Sudetenland and dismemberment of
Czecho- o-Slovakia could be risked with
little or no danger of armed resist
ance by the western powers. Even
the Reichswehr generals on more
than one of these wanton occa-
sions warned Hitler he was courting
a war for which Germany was un-
prepared. Munich crowned Won
Ribbentrop as the adviser on whom
Nazi hopes could be reliably pinned.
That his counsel had much to do
with the German chancellor's def
ance of Britain and France on Sep
tember 3 cannot be doubted
Events of the past forty -eight
hours have wrecked Joachim Won
Ribbentrop as prophet. Britain and
France are fighting-fighting, even
despite his latest achievement, the
conclusion of the unholy Nazi-Soviet
non-aggression alliance. It is highly
probable the Berlin foreign secretary
considered the pact with Moscow the
last straw which would break the
Anglo-French will to resist the Nazi
war machine. With that psychology
ical myopia which so often distin-
guishes the German diplomatic
mentality, the Wilhelmstrasse failed
to see that the agreement with Rus
sia had only whetted the democracies'
determination to implement their
guarantee to the Poles.
It is possible to speak of the allied
offensive, launched on sea, land and
in the air, because it is in actual
progress-not on the scale, of course,
which it is destined, perhaps sud-
denly, to assume, but at least to an
extent that assures the Germans of
Anglo-French intent to carry the war
to the enemy on all fronts. It has
never been expected that Poland's
allies could clear for action in force
or in time enough to prevent the in
vaded country from being overrun by
the invading steam roller. Danzig,
the Corridor, Upper Silesia and va
rious industrial centers in Western
Poland already seem to be held or
dominated by German forces. War
saw has been under Nazi air fire for
days, and is now under heavy
artillery bombardment, indicating
that the enemy lines are being
