Browder. whose conviction was

announcement at one of four free

The choice of Minor, formerly a
newspaper cartooonist and one

Increased Aid Offer
By British Reported
Rejected by Greece
British Are Cautioned
Against Optimism on
Bulgarian Situation
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. Feb. 25.-Authoritativt
British sources cautioned the public
today against optimism" concern
ing the situation in Bulgaria, where
German inf1ltration is reported
threatening Greece's back door.
The position of Greece was con-
sidered puzzling, since the belief is
widely held in informed quarters
that the Athens government has
refused British offer of further
material assistance.
CThe few paragraphs following
made up a dispatch on the Greek
position which was stopped by
the London censor February 10.
Resubmitted, this dispatch was
passed today. It is believed to
describe situation between
Britain and Greece that still ex-
lists. 1t was not possible to trans
NIT an identification of the
source.)
Offer of Aid Rejected.
A British offer of increased aid
was said to have been made orig
inally before the death on January
% of Gen. John Metaxas, the Greek
Premier. He thanked the British
but refused to consider further as
SiStance which, it was understood
he believed would open Greece to
the danger of a German attack
When the British government be-
came convinced that there was ex-
tenSive German military infiltration
into Bulgaria and large troop con-
centrations in the Balkans. it is said
the British offer was repeated, and
even expended to include more help
than was originally proposed.
It is reported that the offer has
been refused for second time.
Speculation on the cause for
Greece's refusal centers around
whether the Greeks intend to fight
if the German divisions now poised
in Rumania on the Bulgarian from
tier move through that country and
open an offensive toward the stra-
tegic port of Salonika.
"A 1TeSk government SpOkeS-
man in Athens today declared
Greece is determined to fight
until the Italians are out of Al
bania.D
Position Mystifying.
II the Greeks intend to resist both
italy and Germany, her refusal to
accept more British aid was mystify-
ing to persons who speculated on the
situation.
1t was suggested that Greece's
action might we'll turn on the atti-
tude of Turkey toward moving be-
yond her own frontiers to resist a
German attack in this region.
Authoritative sources today (Feb-
ruarv 25) listed ice conditions on
the Danube as a reason for expecting
Germany's action may not come as
soon as has been believed in some
quarters.
These sources said that while the
Danube is free of ice in regions
where the Germans apparently in
tend to cross. there still is pack ice
up the river which might sweep
away their pontoon bridges at a
critical time.

Perseverance
Is Necessary
For Beauty
Adopt a Schedule
And Follow 1t
Diligently
By Patricia Lindsay

Facial and physical beauty as we
know it today-are not accidental.
They are acquired through loyalty
to health-giving schedule and to
certain external, regular adminis-
trations. All of which means, if a
woman will persevere she can be
lovely.
If you see a slim beauty, whose
figure is the rave of the beach
lollers, you can bet your boots she
doesn't eat banana splits between
meals half pound of chocolates
while reading magazine, or second
helping of rich foods!
If you see a woman with an ex-
quisite complexion and firm facial
contour, you need not ask her what
cream she usesl It's 10 to / she
rests from 8 to 10 hours most nights,
exercises either in her home or out
of doors daily, and eats very we'll
balanced menus. She may use q
cream for cleansing and one for
softening, or if she plays consider
ably under the sun, cream for
protection. But you might be sur
prised to discover that her skin
beauty is guarded by certain good
soap and only one jar of cream.
Skin beauty comes from within-all
the cosmetics in the world cannot
create a translucent texture! But
certain cosmetics, If they are in
telligently chosen, do protect ones
skin from ravages of the elements,
and may enhance its beauty.
If you come face to face with q
woman whose charm overwhelms
you (and your favorite man, too) be
assured that lady has spent much
effort in modulating her voice,
studying mannerisms which are at
tractive, analyzing humans to dis
cover what displeases them and
getting control of herself in every
way. A well poised, charming
woman is the product of much self
training-she decided to go out and
conquer and she prepared herself
IN every way so she might conquer.
Realize that you can adopt a
schedule which, If held to diligently,
will make you desired beauty. You
needn't have the measurements of
Venus nor the face of Snow White
simply make the most of yourself
IN every way.

Defiance Is

Punishment Won't
Help, but Bath
And Nap Will

BY Angelo Pafrf
Now look what you've done
blotted your paper. Take a Zero"
II don't care"
whats that? You don't care?
I'll make you care. Take another
zero"
One day small boy in the upper
grades of Mr.. Grady's school made
a mistake and his teacher gave him
zero. He, like this other child, said,
"I don't care" Take another zero"
said the teacher. II don't care if
you give me a thousand zeros,"
screamed the hysterical youngster.
"All right. Take the thousand
zeros," said the teacher imperturb-
ably. That was too much for the
excited child and he ran to Mr..
Grady's Office crying, Save me, save
me, Mr.. Grady"
Mr.. Grady gathered him up in his
arms and said, Take it easy, son.
What's going to happen to you?"
"She gave me thousand failures,
Mr.. Grady. A thousand failures.
What will ever do?"
Lets see. You're a smart little
boy. How much is zero?"
Nothing"
Fright. How much is one thous-
and times zero?"
Nothing. Naught."
Fright again. I told you that
VyoyI rrroro tI,n,,coy,S norae
are nothing. Now you wash your
face and 60 home to your lunch
and I'll attend to the rest"
But you see the little boy cared.
Cared a lot. They all do. That
defiant cry, "I don't care" is a
despairing cry that calls for COM
fort and strengthening help. Don't
bother marking it zero because zero
is nothing and it can have no rela-
tionship to a failing child at school
or at home.
Punishment does not help here
at ALL Just don't bother with it
Put the time and energy on the ef-
fort to discover what is making this
child fail, what force is at work in
his life to destroy his hope and cour-
age to the place where he gives up
completely.
Often he is tired out. He has been
kept too long on job that is hard
for him. Take him OF it and let
him do something that is easy for
him until he forgets his troubles
No child in good shape physically
and mentally cries out that he does
not care. That cry is a signal for
help, and any teacher worthy Of the
name will respond to it immediate
ly-not with a thousand zeroS, but
with thousand good wishes, tons OF
good will, armfuls of comfort and
handfuls of strength.
Mothers don't need to be told that
"I don't care" calls for a warm
bath, a light supper and a good
sleep that is started off with a COM
forting tuck in and "rest well'' from
mother. Just one of his bad times
Tired out" she will say, and 60 on
from there.

fewer punches of curls and well
come absence of hard-to-arrange
coiffures. Women will be able, for
a change, to handle their hair and
to comb and brush it without hav-
ing it emerge like a fashion note
from the Fiji Islands. It's sort of
a happy-medium idea, as far as We
can discover. Long, stringy, un-
cared for tresSes are out; so are
hair styles that are too short. In
place of these have come deftly ar
ranged styles which are becoming
and which are entirely in tune with
the new millinery trends.
To illustrate this general theme.
we had two heads arranged and
pictured on the page today. They
prove that the younger woman and
the more mature woman look well
with shorter, easily cared for hair
styles, and that there is enough
variation to take care of the differ
ence in age, facial construction and
favorite type of hat.
Most important in adopting a
new hair-do is to make sure of
proper shaping of the hair, fol-
lowed by a soft, natural permanent
Then the hair may be arranged in
the most flattering way and can be
kept there. Women adore unusual
hair styles, but they're not going to
wear them unless they can afford
the time and money to visit beauty
parlor almost daily. Therefore, the
answer must lie in a coiffure that's
new, becoming and easy to handle.
We think this shorter, deftly ar
ranged hair style is the answer to
all problems, and more and more
experts are realizing it.
So why don't you decide to have
new "hair-do" and stop being
afraid to change your coiffure? You
wouldn't wear the same dress or
hat you did 10 years ago, so why
cling to the same outmoded hair
style? If you haven't done some
thing entirely different with your
hair lately, you can't imagine the
lift 1t will give you. In fact, we say
do something about changing your
coiffure every time you get a new
permanent, or even oftener. 'Tis
the best spring tonic We can recon-
mend.

Age Element Is Most Important
For Happiness in Married Life

out his realizing it, time has laid
its hand upon him and he no longer
feels like a boy or thinks like one
or wants to do the things that boys
do. When he marries he wants to
settle down and have wife who
will be fireside companion instead
of 6 dancing partner. He can't
understand why girl of 20 wants
to gO places and do things instead
of staying put with him.
He has had his fling and is tired.
He has seen the world and he is
here tc tell you it isn't so hot after
all. He is convinced that all of
the ideas, the old customs are the
bes-.
And you are young. Your feet
ache to dance, and you want to
laugh and play about with other
youngsters. You scoff at the old
ideals, of feminine conduct and
haven't the least desire to initiate
the behavior of your husbands late
mother.
So there you are, and there is
nothing you can do about it, unless
you can make up your mind to
obey your husband and fall in with
his ways, as if he were, indeed,
grandpa: or unless he can realize
that children have to be amused
and will buy you a lot of pretty
playthings and take you to the
circus. Sometimes grandpa can
make life very soft and easy for
his little pet, you know.
But the time element is one Of
the most important things to con-
slider in choosing a mate. Very
few people are happy who marry out
of their age class. Custom makes
manners and morals. So many
things are proper now that used to
be scandalous that a husband whose
ideas are of the vintage of 1900
and wife whose point of view is
OF l94l can always find things to
quarrei over. DOROTHY DIX.

Vegetable Cooking Rules

Since the meat dish furnishes
much of the flavor of the meal, the
foods that replace it In lenten and
similar menus must be correctly
cooked and seasoned. Cook veg
etables in as little water as possible.
Do not overlook. These practices
retain flavor and conserve vitamin
value. Season carefully. Use plenty
of butter for flavor and to compen-
safe for the fat that is usually pro-
vided by meat. A bit of sugar brings
out the best in green peas, carrots,
summer squash and certain other
vegetables. Spinach and other
green's cooked with salad oil gain a
pleasing texture and flavor.

sidelines and declining to enter into
the spirit of things. Be gay, but
don't be giddy.
If your committee is smart it will
realize the Importance of preventing
boredom by having a fully planned
program for every get-together.
Many games that are fine for a
comparatively small crowd simply
won't work with a group of 20 or
more. If your crowd is big your
games must be chosen very carefully
and they must be competently led.
So unless you're planning on dancing
don't have party for so or so people
without knowing exactly what you
are going to do and how you are
going to do it.
Sometimes a class party can be
made success by combining a dance
with provision for games. Card
tables may be set up along one side
of the dance floor, with such games
as Chinese checkers, bingo. monop-
oily and bridge available for those
who wish to play. Or small room
next to the dancing space may be
turned over to the don't-dance
group, with some one to get the
games started and keep them going.
Speaking of games, we know one
college fraternity which always sets
up couple of bridge tables in side
room for the benefit of its dance
chaperons. The professors and
their wives settle down there for the
evening, finessing and overbidding
and taking their partners out of
business doubles to their hearts
content. Any actual chaperoning
is performed by whoever happens to
be dummy at the moment-and hav-
ing a dummy for a chaperon is
college mans dream.
For class banquets and other large
meetings at which dancing is impos-
sible for one reason or another, out
side entertainers may sometimes be
brought in. A good amateur or pro-
fessional magician, juggler. a ven-
triloquist, somebody's uncle who
knows a lot of swell card tricks, a
