FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8

This should be a fortunate day
IN industry. Benefic aspects
dominate workers. They may be
expected TO cooperate fully with
employers. Factories should
speed production under this rule
of the stars.
Heart and Home: There should
be quick obedience to what the
head Of the family desires today.
The rule is most favorable for
beginnings that promise domes-
tic good fortune. Sons and
daughters should awaken TO re-
sponsibilities and should assume
tasks that may be OF benefit TO
the community in which they
live. This In a time to give up
the pursuit OF pleasure as chief
interest. Portents of supreme
significance are discerned for
this country.
Business Affairs: As work ex-
tends to all who are trained or
efficient. prosperity will be en-
joyed in the United States. In
employment will cease to be a
major problem as money be-
comes plentiful because OF gov
eminent spending. Yankee re-
sourcefulness and keenness in
trade will be demonstrated in
marvellous feats Of production
calculated to meet urgent de-
msnds- While the pocketbook
may be padded with greenbacks,
thrift is recommended.
National Issues: Conflict be-
tween the inclination 10 pursue
comfortable ways Of life and the
urge of patriotism will be evident
as persons Of varying views con-
template the coming winter.
While men within the limits of
consumption make great sscri-
fices or prepare for them. girls
will dedicate themselves TO high
service in thN cause OF human
betterment. Many will join the
ranks of splendidly trained
nurses and others will qualify in
vacations that aid the unfortu-
nate.

HBA September Boards
A pleasant Dream

Now, that the September Boards are
over, we only have their pleasant
dreams This quarter was the mos,
enjoyable that we have witnessed il
some years.
On September 5th, we were at OLD
histor,c Holbrook, the place where the
association was founded and from which
it got its name. Mr., B. w. Willis was
inc president-host and he and his
members stepped a country block.
This board was well attend d and Bro.
Willis was able to double his member
ship. Sister Willis and her coworkers
served dinner that just wouldn't quit.
Brother Willis, you know how to en-
tertsin.
September 9Th. we found ourselves on
the NJ O. with Brother Allen Woodland
and his good members. Here, we wit
nessed another glowing board. The re-
ports made by the attending presidents
were very good. Brother Woodland and
his energetic members put things over
in high style.
Tuesday, September 18th found us in
the upper part of the state, at Clifton
vile, where Brother Claud Gavin, his
members, Rev. N. G. Crawford and
...iends royalty entertained the board.
TO our SURPRISE Brother Gavins and
mis- members and friends had worked
things up to the extent, sitting room
was a premium. This was one of the
hes. all round boards we have witnessed
in this section. Sister Gavins, we are
looking forward to another board with
your lodge soon. Bro. Gavins added
twelve or more members to his lodge.
On Wednesday, September 18th, we
were in another district-Magee, Miss,
with that high stepping w. ]. Rankin.
Here we witnessed another all round
board. The church was filled to its
capacity the reports were very, very
good and the dinner was superb. Mr.
Rankin, his loving wife and loyal
members saw to it that no stones were
left unturned A goodly number CT

This suggests to me the need for

most of US need Just that after three
months of summer activity and
Aummer heat which many times
causes us to be negligent in our
beauty routine.
Chances are that the summer sun
hasn't benefited our faces. We're
probably tanned. The skin is drier
around the eyes. A series of pro-
fessional or home treatments is
needed, backed up with good
cleansing cream and night cream
-. regularly used.
The reason l emphasize "regu-
larly" is that during the heat of the
summer, it is difficult to do any
thing regularly, especially anything
which means exertion. But now
that summers heat is gone and we
have the invigorating GOODNESS of
fall, we can make repairs for our
negligence the past several months.
Use creams regularly, and the skin
soon will soften once more, will
seem to tighten in color and appear
more beautiful.
Summers outdoor activity is not
the best conditioner for hands. They
may need expert attention. At least
they'll need considerable personal
attention. Use a hand-fotion fire.

a good shampoo. A good hair color

an appearance of naturalnesS
Brush your hair more frequently.
BESIDES serving as a good massage,
the brushing invigorates the scalp.
Most of us shamefully neglect to
brush our hair during the summer,
and, therefore, must brush it more
frequently during the cooler periods
of the year.
Yes, it's time to recondition our
beauty. It's an endless job, isn't it :?
But how satisfying it is to have
other women and men pay
us the tribute that good beauty care
merits. An honest effort, backed up
with the careful selection Of mate
rials,-and the battle can be won.
