FIGURE
For those who are inclined to find
fault with their figures, this is the
opp6rtune time to determine what
is wrong (this is the easiest part of
the entire prOcedure) and how to
overcome it (and this is simple or
difficult, depending on your method
and approach to the problem). A
frank inspection in a full length
mirror will probably amaze you.
Once you've recognized your fail
ings, you have won half the battle.
If you find it difficult to analyze
your figure, use the rule of the wrist
given below:
Chest should be 51s times the
wrist.
Waist should be AN times the
wrist.
Hips should be 6 times the wrist.
Thigh should be 31s times the
wrist.
Knee should be 2h times the
wrist.
Calf should be PA times the wrist.
Ankle should be IL times the
wrist.

COMPLEXION 49,.
Chapping, or drying of the skin,
is not only unnecessary but truly
inexcusable. The first rule to re-
member in cleansing the face is to
wash it with a mild soap, we'll
lathered, using luke-warm water.
Make it a point to dry your face
thoroughly. Pat it dry with a soft
towel. Rubbing has an irritating
effect on most compilations and
abets chapping rather than protects
against 1t. Follow with an as
tringent (be sure to use astringent
whose content of alcohol is small),
a powder base and then apply your

to adopt a completely new tone of

Defedtism Existed
8 Years Ago in France

When he had reported this fact
to his superiorS. he had been told
that these we're but isolated incl
dents and that in general the spirit
Of the army was excellent-in fact,
could not be better, according to
General Gamelin. and it was only
the opinion of General Gamelin
that counted. l believe this fact,
that a defeatist spirit existed in
the French army eight years ago,
has never yet been told to our
American public 1t explains many
things, whilst most certainly it
does not excuse them.
one must never forget when
trying 10 analyze the causes of the
French collapse that, thanks TO
the rotten condition into which
politics had fallen, France had
lost its respect for its government,
and instead of feeling proud, had
become ashamed of the Republic
can regime, which as time had
gone on seemed to have foundered
upon the rock of pure materialism,
and love Of money not so much
for its sake as for that of the many
enjoyments which its possession
could procure.

HoUU Weysond Become

Viscount &c Forzans was a friend
Of Foch. and recommended to him

the affection, esteem and conf

him more than once on difficult
missions. and after having kept

grace with the different cabinets
who in turn ruled France during
the. ten or twelve years preceding
the present war. Weygand was
far too independent to the liking
Of these gentlemen, who saw in
him rival for power. the only
thing which they cared for.
Before Gen. Gamelin was ap-
pointed commander in chief there
had been a talk Of Weygand be-
| ing granted the appointment, and
most likely he would have obtained
it if Leon Blum had not interfered,
declaring that man as compro-
missed as was Weygand with the
clerical parties could not be given
the authority to favor them In the
army. This argument found favor
not only with the cabinet then
in power. but with the majority of
the leading newspapers that did
not want to see fervent Catholic
put into such position of trust as
the high command Of the army.
Weygand was sent to Syria. This
was Immediately before the break
ing out Of the war. He did Won
ders there, it seems. but time
failed him to complete his work,
and he was called back to France
and told he must save it from its
enemies when it was already too
late to do so.
What he had feared. and had
been trying in vain to make France
and the French public conscious
Of, the sad, grim, terrible fact that
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1940-12-22

mistice could be granted to the de-
feated German armies.
This happened % years ago. and
one may imagine the feelings
which must have overpowered
Weygand when, in his turn, he
found himself compelled TO sue for
mercy those to whom France had
shown no mercy in its hour of
triumph, triumph which was TO
prove so ephemeral.
In Poland Weygand did excel
lent work: he never fails in that
respect. And his return to France
was real triumph. Then his
star began TO set.
He is a sincere and devout Cath
Ole, Just as his present chief, aged
Marshal Petain. In addition he is
a strong disciplinarian. and be-
lieveS an army cannot rise to the
height it ought to maintain itself
upon unless it is we'll held in hand
by its leaders and commanders.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1940-12-22

Everybody was aware Of it. and
this explains partly why the French
nation as far as ten years ago had
made up its mind not TO fight.
because there was nothing and
nobody worth fighting for.
why should We get our heads
smashed we do not know for
whom?"-This was what was OPEN
ly said everywhere among French
peasants. This was what Weygand
himself had heard years ago. with
out succeeding when he repeated
1t. to make his Superiors believe it.
There was another fact upon
which stress must be laid. and this
was thanks to Bolshevik and Com
munist propaganda the glorious
French army that had added so
many wonderful pages to the his
tory of its country. this army that

ically defended Verdun. no longer
existed. 1t had been completely
demoralized and was ready for
everything except fighting.
The government. especially the
Cabinet headed by Leon Blum.
had steadfastly ignored what had
been going on. 1t had looked with
indifference on one Of the most
ominous symptoms OF the new
spirit with which the army was
rapidly being imbued. the idea
that there never would or could
be another war if all the workmen
of the world, regardless Of nation
atty, would unite with the inten-
ton of transforming the universe
into one vast Communist paradise.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1940-12-22

A few days later Weygand
arrived in Warsaw, still a rela-
lively unknown quantity, about
whom one had merely heard as
an aide to Foch, who had al
ways fulfilled the latter's COM
mands marvellously well, even
under most difficult circum-
stances. But this did not make
out of him a leader, and what
the Poles needed at this crisis
in their national history, was a
leader; and somehow at first
Weygand did not give one the
impression Of being one.
He is of small stature. rather
wiry and very quick in his move
ments, but there is something
wrong with his spine. At first
sight he gives one the impression
Of being slightly deformed. "de-
hdnche" as the French call 1t. But
curious TO say. one forgets 1t i'm
mediately. and somehow never
discovers what really is the matter
with him.
The face is not handsome by
any means, but so intelligent and
sympathetic. and the eyes so bright
and quick, one feels Immediately
attracted by the man, whose
rapid movements remind one
OF the famous dArtagnan in
Dumas famous novel. Three
Musqueteers. And one feels at
ONCE that, like d'Artagnan. here
is d man who can be completely
trusted. and who could not be
false either with his friends or
with his enemies; a man whose
conduct would always justify the
old saying Of Dunois. when he de-
clared that his soul belonged to
God his arm 10 his King, his
heart TO the Ladies. and his hon.

France Was in No
Condition for War

Weygand never likes 10 speak
Of this time when he was fighting
against his own conviction that
France was no longer in a con-
dition when it could hope TO win
"a war, whether against the Ger
mans or against anyone else.
Sometimes a few words escape
his lips. such as All If Foch had
still been with US, all this would
not have happened"
But 1t is a question whether
Foch could have done anything.
Things had gone too far. perhaps
because no one had thought or be-
lieved they would ever stray out
Of the path which army and coun-
try had so bravely followed in
years gone by.
once I have heard him talk on
the dlsillusion which slowly in
vaded his own brave soul when
he found that as a Commander he
could no longer rely on his troops.
II was during some maneuvers
when the commissariat service
had proved TO be completely in
efficient. The soldiers we're tired
and hungry and rebellious. Wey-
gand tried 10 cheer them up. say
ing that they must have little
patience. and adding, What
would you do II you were really
fighting WARP" 10 which a SOL
der brutally replied. L certainly
would not fight If l was not we'll
fed"
II then knew" said the General,
that unless things changed very
much France ought not to rush
into any war, because this would
mean not only the loss Of her
power, but that of her prestige
and sometimes prestige Is more
important than power In our
epoch of camouflage!"
And dating from that day. he
always opposed war, and never
censured Daladier for trying TO
avoid it by joining Chamberlain
in Munich.
Which must not be taken as his
approval of Munich. all that had
led to 1t. and everything which was
TO follow upon this iil-fatcd con-
ference between che ruthless and
several weak men
Weygand was asked once whether
he believed that If he had been
appointed COMMUNICATIVE hief Of
the French army in place of
Gamelin he could have changed
the psychology and mentality a
that army.

"but trying is not succeeding!"
