Look your prettiest. Sheer dark
dresses with crisp touches Of white
and floppy hats can make you look
as cool and tempting as an ice
cream cone. Make everything
about you calm and unflustered.
It's much easier to feel and look
cool when you take your time at
whatever you do. Put of until

Light Makeup
See that makeup Is applied
much more lightly. Never a heavy
makeup for summer. It's bound
to get smeary when you perspire.
Use the lightest possible founda-

As for lips. don't experiment

Use Deodorant
Keep your body flower-fresh

them intelligently. Never use i'm

Quits Ranching

BECAUSE the USO requires 80
- much Of a mans time. Walter
Hoving. president Of . New York
department store, has had to re-
sign and Harper Sibley Of Ro-
chester. N. Y. Is taking over. Mr..
Sibley admitted 1t would be . full
time job.
We wrote about Mr.. Sibley some
time ago. when he was president
OF the Chamber Of Commerce Of
the United States from 1885 to
1887. TO take up his work In the
USO. Mr.. Sibley stated that he
was giving up his banking and
agricultural interests because "of
my conviction Of the tremendous
importance and possibilities Of the
USO."
Under Mr.. Hoving, the USO
gathered $o,237 900 Of its goal for
$1l 100000. Mr.. Sibley handled
the campaign in Rochester which
netted $4,000. instead of the goal
which was set at $4,000.
The new head of the USO was

this capacity he had q grand time
against all the Admins

through nevertheless.
He II, chairman Of the Security
Trust Company Of Rochester and
Il interested in many other cor
porations and institutions. He
operates farms and ranches In
New York. Illinois. California and
Alberta, Canada.
Mr.. Sibley and President Roos-
evelt went to Groton and Har-
yard together. to come to Q part

ways later. Mr.. Slbley attended
New York Law school and was
