Expressive
Eyes Show
Character
BY DONNA GRACE

ONE OF the brave stencils on
the board during our early
school years ran like this, You
can accomplish anything if you
use your eyes"
To the young II meant an ex-
cuse for a lot of silly ogling, but
even then, some of the tadpole
sirens took it quite seriously.
important
A lot can be accomplished
with the eyes, as many smart
girls agree, and while it is
godsend to be blessed with
beautiful pair of orbs, even the
average eye can be a real factor
in ones career.
Eyes can be the most i'm
portant contact for any girl in
expressing herself, and she must
know how TO use them. Girls
who are born 10 the advantages
of wealth arc accustomed TO di-
rect and command with their
eyes as they. speak.
They have assurance and
know they will be obeyed, but
the more timid and less opulent
one resorts 10 appeal and indie
cision in her efforts. She may
be more capable. but will not be
likely TO meet with immediate
success.
Use n!
We should be sure that we
ourselves have this eye-power.
Every one does have ii, but not
all have the courage 10 use it.
Think of the eyes as an asset,
no matter what the color or
shape may be. Look directly at
every one you meet. Never
drop the eyes when meeting one
for the first time. Know you
are as good as the best and even
when you are in awe of some
great one, look at them squarely
and let your expression and
words express your respect with
out dropping eyes.
Girls who seek jobs should al
ways remember this. Look away
often, so there will be no set
stare, but be natural and re-
spectful in your clear, direct
look.

Eye Care
Girls should use their eyes in
this exciting business of ro-
nance. We know they are not

average girl should be so con-

Some Of this seasons hats
seem to be made for the thin

and drapings and are of pliable
felt, or velvet. All this does so
much TO tone down too-sharp
features. Hats which are low at
the forehead and extend to wide
brims give width 10 the face.
THEN FOR the shorter per-
son there are high pointed
crowns and feathers that dash
of at the most amazing angles.
Any bit of trimming up from the
head adds TO the height.

light, and takes about half an hour.
Depending upon how many trees
there are in your neighborhood, the
morning concert begins very early or
later. The more trees, the later, of
course, owing to the lessened light.
If the feeding stations are full, it Is a
very satisfying feeling to lie at dawn and
ize that their food is waiting for them.
1t is such a small amount of food,
after all, compared with what elephants

Yet 1t is amazing what these little
fellows can eat, between them ALL
Forty-five pounds of seed and grain per
week, In summer, is no unusual figure.
This amount will depend mainly on
the number of pigeons. English sparrows
and squirrels there are in the yard.
If one is interested in having just the
better birds, as some call them, the
chickadees. the cardinals, the nut
matches, the titmice and others, the
pigeons. sparrows and squirrels will be
prime nuisances.
But If the provider tries to keep in
mind that when he puts out free lunch.
he really has no right to demand that
hungry things stay away, in time he will
be willing to put up with these.
In doing so he will find that they give
him many honest rewards. Squirrels,
for instance, are among natures best
comedians. An observer would have to
be mighty III not to laugh at these
beggars.
And the pigeons, even the vagrant
pigeons, are blood brothers to the
homers, those feathered heroes of peace
and war. The more one reads about
the work of these birds in war the more
he comes to see that even their poorest
cousins are birds to be treated with re-
spect.
AS for the English sparrows, really
there is nothing finer at a feeding sta
tion than the flights of a hundred or so
Of these birds across the yard in winter.
And In summer, what whirr of wings
there Is, as they jostle on the rim Of
the feeding station for place and food !
They are seen then to be birds, the
same as any, with many good traits,
despite all the bad things which have
been said about them.
We know of no prettier bird than the
female English sparrow. If you watch
these birds honestly, without prejudice
a difficult thing for human beings to
achieve!-you will find many wonderful
moments in their company.
We believe that the eating birds have
a better time in the early morning
than at any other time of day. They
are hungrier, without doubt, having
slept in the open all night, with their
appetites freshened by plenty of oxygen.
The observer at the dawn, and for a
few hours following. will have the benefit
Of fresh air and quiet.
This, he will conclude, is his hour, as
well as the birds.

NorthIund Diversion?

Important developments seem to
be brewing on the remote European
war front facing the Arctic Ocean.
Here, within a distance of less than
200 miles, are several extremely
vital ports, running from Kirkeness
in Northern Norway, through Pet
samo in Finland to Murmansk in
Soviet Russia. Those ports owe their
Importance to the fact that a
tongue of the Gulf Stream laps
around the North Cape from the At
lantic into the Arctic, keeping this
stretch of coast ice-free throughout
the year.
Last week a strong force of British
seaplanes heavily bombed German
held Kirkeness and Petsamo, Fin
lands sole northern outlet and the
base for a joint German-Finnish
attack on Murmansk, which has had
heavy going because of large Rus
sian forces concentrated in the
Murmansk region. Those planes
obviously came from an aircraft
carrier somewhere off shore, and
since carriers are vulnerable to sub
marine and air attacks, the presence
of a large British naval covering
force may be presumed. Swedish
advices report the presence of a
powerful British fleet in the Arctic.
Still more significant is the fact
that, for the past three days, London
has been flooded with rumors that
large-scale British offensive against
Petsamo and Northern Norway is in
preparation, and that the British
censorship has allowed the news to
appear in the press and be cabled
abroad. Of course, this may be
merely a smoke screen to hide some
other movement or to make the Ger
mans reinforce their Norwegian gar
risons to no purpose, but there are
other reasons why the British gov
ernment might think it wise to let
hints of the projected diversion leak
out.
Chief of these is the effect upon
Russian morale. Ever since the out
break of the war with Germany and
the consequent Anglo-Russian alli-
ance against a common foe, Soviet
spokesmen have been urging Britain
to do something more than harry
the Reich with the R. A. F. Britain
is known to have large forces trained
for an overseas expedition, and no
sector would seem to offer more
immediate advantages for such a
venture than the Arctic front.

New Dental Gudqet

The old infantry drill regulations
In the Army are no more, and the
same applies to the former drill rules
of its dental corps. They used to be
simple. The Army dentist used to
drill freely until it hurt so much that
the victim kicked either the chair or
the operator, and after that, novo-
caine would be used. The substitute
now is hypnotism, according to a
dispatch from Tampa.
The first guinea pig was a young
lady Gazing into her eyes, the
handsome young Army dentist put
her to sleep for fifteen minutes while
an associate drilled her teeth. Dis
carding entirely the usual slogan OF
the profession, he remarked, "This
won't hurt a bit"-nor did it.
OF course, the test is only In the
experimental stage so far. One
doubts the ability Of a mere dental
officer to hypnotic anything really
tough, like the top sergeant. But
possibly a blond could. II so, why
not make her standard equipment in
all Army dental Offices. or, for that
matter, why wouldn't she be a goed

Gasoline Curfew

The "curfew" on nocturnal sales OF
gasoline along the Eastern Seaboard
has become more practical inStru-
ment of fuel conservation as a result
of sensible notifications approved
by Oil Co-Ordinator Ickes. Shortly
before the voluntary restrictions
went into effect Sunday night at an
estimated 100000 automobile service
stations in the oil-rationed East,
John W. Frey, director of marketing,
announced that Mr.. Ickes' recon-
mendation for night closing of gaso-
line stations was not intended to
prevent the sale of fuel to trucks,
taxicabs and other commercial We
hicles which operate at night, nor to
affect collateral business OF service
stations, such as motor repair work,
tire and accessory sales and similar
customary services for motorists.
The exemption of trucks, buses,
taxicabS and other commercial We
hicles from the night ban on gasoline
sales clears up question that had
greatly agitated transportation in
terests since proclamation of Mr..
Ickes' plan for restricted operation
of service stations. In recent years
the trucking of commodities of va
rious kinds during the small hours of
the night has become major indus

ing ban at night would have inter-

cert would wish to forget the occa-
sion. Many different factors, neces-
sarily, combined to provide the full
flment of the original plan: Perfect
weather, the symbolic beauty of the
location on the bank of the historic
Potomac near to the monuments of

clans playing under the direction of
a skilled conductor, lovely and

multitude joining in folk demon

when only small group of singers
add to the charm of a moonlit sum-
mer night. But when the strong and
vibrant voices of a vast throng are
raised in a single musical utterance
the effect is dynamic. To compare
the sound with that of a cosmic pipe

the likeness was apt and true. If
there were faults in the performance,
they were lost in the prodigious

PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE.

Dear Sir:
while visiting in Washington I have
been most interested in reading your
column and particularly in your recent
discussion as to whether the female
towhee will visit feeding station.
Il can oack w. M. F. on that, as many
female towhees visit my station, par
ticularly in the early morning hours
just after dawn.
"As I work at night, like to lie in
bed In the morning and watch my
feathered friends that come to visit me.
"One tiny titmouse in particular
hates to see me sleep and on occasion
will fy through the window and light
on my face so that I might wake up
and feed her.
Squirrels are a great bother and
often make me very angry when they
chase my colorful little companions
away from the window.
You probably won't believe this, Mr..
T., but one of family of crows which
lives in a nearby pine tree has been, I
suspect, at one time somebody's pet, for
when he finds that the other crows have
cleaned up the corn, have heard him
distinctly say damn
1T sounds pretty far fetched, and nv
friends will not believe it. but I think I
have read somewhere that crows can be
taught to say few words.
Il agree with you that there is moth
ing more fascinating than a feeding
station, and should you ever visit Wood
stock in the beautiful Shenandoah VAL
ley, you must look me up and meet my
songsters.
Yours in nature, NJ w. NJ"
Watching the birds at a feeding sta
ton in the very early morning is one of
the best reasons for stocking 1t the eve
ming before.
Another is, that the job is done, at
least for some hours. This may not
seem much of a reason, in summer, but
when the wintry winds do blow, and
the snow falls, and the ground is icy, it
is very important.
Good bird feeding in the home grounds
demands some routine. II there are
several feeding stations, as there should
be, so that all sorts of birds and animals
are taken care Of, it becomes something
of task to keep them filled.
If they are not attended to in the eve
ming, at dusk. after the songsters have
gone to bed, there will be no food for
them when they wake up. This is par
ticularly important at this time of year.
since they wake up and begin to eat so
much earlier than in winter.
When 1t is cold, the birds gather
around the windows and at other points
in the yard about $50 o'clock, or at
least by. 7 am.
In the summer, however, they are
awake and eating by o'clock with some
early birds beginning as early as 4:3o
o'clock
They take time out, of course, for their
