the skin as it is applied, thoroughly
lubricates it and yet leaves no trace
of that unwelcome greasy film.
There is no cream left to soil fine
linen and lovely night clothes and
no grotesque appearance while you
wear this product. After you cleanse
your face at night simply apply
this new item and let it melt
into the skin. You won't know it's
there. until you begin to notice the
excellent results of its application.
If there's anything that makes
us jump in what is a good imitation
of JOY, it's to find a cake of bath
soap that is big enough to locate
in the tub, oval shaped for con-
venient handling. perfumed with a
clean-smelling, but not overpower-
ing, fragrance, and capable Of pro-
ducing thick. creamy lather in
hot or cold water We are happy
to announce that we've discovered
one that fills the bill. It's really
mammoth size and should last
twice as long as the standard size
bath soap. In addition. its the
product of particularly fine Eng
lish firm who have delicately scented
it with lavender. Both men and
women have put the stamp of ap-
proval on this gigantic value, and
if you're as tired of tiny, feeble cakes
of bath soap as we are, you'll join
in the praise.
Enthusiasm for anything Amer
lean in the way Of fashions or
beauty items has led to some of the
most outstanding colors in make
up this season. For example. we've
just tried a new color which is
deep, rich, brilliant red, alive and
exciting in its intensity. This is
obtainable in lipstick and cream or
compact rouge, and is nicely ac-
companied by face powder which
blends in to provide perfectly CO.
ordinated makeup. Even the name
of this new color is patriotic, and
though the exact shade is diff

extremely smart with fall fashions
is this glowing makeup tone.
Speaking of colors, one of our pet
nail enamels is now available in two
new ones which suggest aviation
and all that goes with it. It's in
teresting to know that one of the
airlines has sponsored these new
shades, one of which is a brilliant
red with the highest visibility of any
shade in the spectrum. It's the
guiding red, they tell us, that keeps

DEAR MRS. POST: The house in
which I now live is much smaller
than that in which I entertained in
younger days. I wish to have six
ladies to lunch and since I know
that some of them drink tea, some
coffee. would it be allowable (since

silver service to put the service in

coffee and tea from there?
Answer: 1t would be unusual
but see no objection to your having
the hot water kettle, teapot and
coffeepot on the tea tray either on
the sideboard or on the serving table
The waitress should ask each guest
will you have tea or coffee?" If
the answer is tea" she asks, Weak

much or little boiling water as
directed or coffee as it is. and puts
down each filled cup at the right OF

Judge J. Will P1ess, of Marion,

Ex-Sheriff Henry NJ. Miller
Slated For Trial Next Week

Salem, who served as referee last
year in the county's four suits
against Miller, held in his report
that Ex-Sheriff Miller and his
bondsmen owe Ashe county the
sum of $17,471.7O, plus around
$4,000 in interest on this amount.
The two weeks hearing was
concluded on July 6, and Judge
Hastings filed his report in Oct
ober of last year. The evidence
taken during the hearing, which
consisting of around 900 pages,
plus a number of exhibits, will
be read during this trial and no
witnesses placed on the stand,
those close to the cases state.
The cases were appealed to Su-
perior court short time after
they were filed.
Judge Hastings ruled that Ex-
Sheriff Miller still owes three
large items as set out in an au-
dit and these items amount to
a total of over $17,OO0.00. He
found cas- fact'' that Miller
owes $3,772.82 as collections from
partial payments and missing tic
kets and 100000, a check re-
funded by the Chemical Bank &
Trust Company of N. Y. on Oct
ober 10, 1888 and that he did not
charge himself with the check
upon its return.

way, scenic drive under construc-

in the event this country is in

public works commission, said
this week.
The Parkway will extend ap-
proximately 500 miles, connect
ing the Shenandoah and Great
Smokes National Park, in Vir-
ginia and North Carolina, res
pectfully. Except for certain tie
ups, with existing state roads, the
scenic drive is virtually complete
or under contract from Asheville
to the Virginia state line, the
chairman said.
1t might be possible, Dunlap
said in an interview, to run a
road from the parkway to Allan
ia. This road, which could join
the parkway at Tennessee Bald,
southwest of Asheville, might be
used to transport troops between
Atlanta and Washington.
He pointed out that the troops
could be transported with a min
imum of traffic problems, since
the parkway has few intersec-
tons. He said he did not believe,
however, that the roadbed was
strong enough to permit move
ment of heavy guns or tanks.
Dunlap did not disclose whe-
Their he had submitted his sug-
gestion to the War Department.

The application was approved
last January, but funds had not
been allocated, pending a new
appropriation by Congress.
REA engineers have already
looked over several proposed To-
cations and are now drawing up
tentative plans and specifications
for the cold storage building, Mr..
Price stated.
I'm the near future we expect
to receive their recommendations
and definite action will be taken
by our local board of directors at
that time" he said.
If additional funds are need
ed, it is believed that they can
be secured, although it is thought
that $4,000 will be adequate in
the beginning.
There are around 800 members
of the Cooperative and others
are invited to join.
The officers besides Mr.. Price
