Diligent Care

Weekly Manicure
Will Keep Them
In Good Shape
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

star Of screen and opera, "and then

pressive that they are often an ex-
cellent indicator of q mans or

With that quotation as a lead
you can guess that today am

You do not have to be q lady OF

may be justly proud-in fact active

the most interesting to look at. and

use of q hand cream or lotion II

hand care.
OF course there are other rules
which encourage hand beauty.
Have you ever tried the miraculous
treatment Of amounting your hands
with hot olive oil and then sliding
them into heated cotton gloves?
Keep them on while you read this
months installment of your favorite
magazine serial and then behold the

larging and to make her hand grace

tine:

or place the tips Of your fingers on 4
table, holding wrists high and ARCH
ing knuckles. Then lift each finger
separately, as high as you can, and
curved as though you were about to
pounce on an ivory key-then let it
drop. Repeat this with both hands,
several times, being certain to keep
your wrist of the table and your
knuckles arched.
To strengthen wrists and to whip
up sluggish circulation (which
causes hands to be an unattractive
red) hold both hands out in front
of you and shake them loosely and
vigorously from the wrists. Try to
shake them right OF! Let fingers
snap at each other as you shake.
This should be done once a day.
Another good finger exercise is
this: Hold your hands, palms out

Dorothy Dix Says go
Working Daughter Should Not

Dear Dorothy Dix-1 am secre-
tary to an executive Of a large con-
cern and my work is so heavy that
when get home at night am ex-
hausted and my nerves are all on
edge. Yet my family persist in
thinking that have passed q pleas
ant day amusing myself and they
can't see why I am tired after sit
ting down all day They won't
understand that l am running on
all six cylinders, working under a
terrific strain trying to get routine
dictation out of the way and being
interrupted q hundred times an
swering the telephones, digging let
tiers and documents out Of old files,
acting rs q buffer between my boss
and some irate customers or sales
men and that I am up and down
at my desk more times than I can
enumerate. Then, when get home
worn out At night they jump on me
and tell me that there is no reason
why I should be tired. My mother
expects me to help get the supper
and wash the dishes and do chores
around the house afterward until l
am SO weary I am ready TO drop. I
wouldn't mind the hard work 80

family understood and sympathized
q little with what l 60 through.
A WORKING GIRL.
Answer-We hear q lot about the
tired businessman. Much Is done for
his diversion after his hard days
work Is over. for it is realized that
he needs rest and relaxation. At
home he Is pstted and coddled and
given the easiest chair and the soft
est couch and exempted from all
household chores.
But we hear very little OF the tired
businessgirl Probably because she
is so worn out that she hasn't the
strength left to raise her voice in
protest against the way she is
treated by her family. She is the
forgotten woman, the hardships Of
whose lot no one understands, whose
burdens no one tries to tighten. Not
for her are the prestige and privi-
leges enjoyed in the home Of her
brothers.
Perhaps the myriads Of mothers
who make their daughters the FAM
lily goats do it without realizing how
cruel they are being. They can't
put themselves in Mamie's place and
understand how ONCE work wears a
girl to the bone and frets her nerves

Paris Has CopituIoted
To Enemy Five Times,
History DiscIoses

Paris has fallen frequently to
foreign invaders during its long
history, according to the Ma
tional Geographic Society,
which lists the following occa-
sions:
In 50 BIC. the little village,
on an island In the Seine, was
captured by Julius Caesar and
his Roman legions; Caesar
called it Lutecia. 1t was then
the capital of the PARISH, a
Gallo tribe, who burned the
town to the ground before the
conquerors could move in.
At the close of the 5th CEN
tury AID. the city had grown
under the administration of the
Romans, who built an amphi-
theater, temples, an aqueduct.
1t was taken at that time by
Frankish tribes under Clovis.
In the 9th century Paris was
sacked by the Danes.
In 1922 Henry v of England
took the city and established
his court there. Paris was not
restored to the King of France
until 1853.
The next fall Of Paris was on
January %, 1871, when the Ger
mans, victors in the Franco
Prussian War, marched into the
city.

I'VE Fundamentally condemn such
practices wherever and whenever
they occur"
American opposition to civilian
bombings resulted nearly two years
ago in the declaration OF moral
embargo" on the export of airplanes
and aerial equipment to countries
guilty of such practices. This has
cut OIL Japan, Russia and Germany

Senator Adams plan in the

a percentage for supervision and

go to the owner of the machine and
the balance will go to the players.
