NEW YORK CITY CAMP -
Reviewing some of the important
events of the year in connection
with the national program of or
ganized colored nurses. Mrs. Ruth
Logan Roberts, chairman of the
advisory council National Associa-
ton of Colored Graduate Nurses,
this week gave as highlight, the
fact that Negro nurses are now
admitted to individual membership
in the National League of Nursing
Education.
This action, she said, was taken
at the Leagues 1910 meeting, will
benefit those nurses living in Sec
tions~ of the country where they
are not admitted to membership III
State leagues.
Mrs. Roberts stated that mem.
bership for colored nurses in the
American Nurses association
(white) was discussed by the or
ganization's house of delegates dur
ing its biennial session at Phila-
delpnia last Spring. She also point
ed to the unanimity of opinion
among national health and nursing
agencies that more Institutes for
Negro nurses should be available,
as result of which the National
tuberculosis Association will spon-
Sor such an institute in st. Louis
early in 1941.

Dark Lip Hues
Accent FrOckS

The artistry of the new makeup
is its simplicity-a single streak OF
color with no other acc ants to de-
tract, from it. Rouge is omitted
or just enough worn to give the
skin a healthy glow. Eye shadow
worn only at nights used sprain-
ly. Just a minute amount to give
the eyelids a stainy sheen.
Nail polishes, III matching dark
hues, form a smart duo of color to
emphasize the smartest frock, and
this new color note is as important
for changes IN appearance of ones
other little tricks we employ to
wardrobe as is costume jewelry or
make our frocks do double duty.
Foremost among the new shades
are Mahogany, Burgundy, Black
Cherry, and a whole gamut OF dark
Indian tones with such interesting
names as Navajo, Pocahontas and
Hopi.

USE OILY COSMETICS

Keep the facial coating well lub-
ricated. Oil enter the skin along
the shafts of tiny downs hairs that
are in every pore. They seep into
the sebaceous glands. the purpose
of which is to supply a lubricant
to the skin so it will not dry or
crack. The free use of oily cosmet-
les may ward Off wrinkles and, if
wrinkles are present, it will con-
dition the tissues so they can't dig
in deeper.
Apply a heavy cream with gen.
tie upward strokes. Tap it in, using
the fingers as if they were little
hammers. Follow the treatment
with an ice friction. Let the cream
remain on overnight; it takes
from four to six hours for it to
reach its greatest depth in the tis-
sues.
