EDGE TO GoPHERs

This one is tough one 10 dope
out. Michigan has crossed me up
most of the time this season and
hope they do again as I'm giving
the edge TO the championship Min
nesota team until someone beats
the Gophers.
Another question will be an
swered when Ohio State meets
Northwestern. How good is Ohio?
Some say great and others just
pretty good. Northwestern should
be able 10 find out for us. I be-
lieve Ohio States victory string
will be shipped after this game.
Other highlight contests OF in
terest will bring together Colgate
and Cornell, two of the up and
coming elevens in the East. This
is another. toss-up,- but I'll take
Colgate by whisker.
Fordham should get a severe
test from Texas Christian, but I
think the Rams will have enough
70 win. Those Texas outfits are
tough to count out. Two weeks
ago five OF them engaged in inter-
sectional games and made a clean
sweep for that state.
EASY PICKIN's
Nays game with Harvard and
Dukes contest with Pitt stand out
FOR the same reason. Navy and
Duke are the top-fiighters of their
sections, so the results Of their
battles will continue OF interest
until they are dropped by some
one. Harvard should go down with
bit of a struggle, but Pitt hasn't
I chance.
Two other games In Texas also
will be closely watched. The high
flying Texas u. team will get a
stiff tussle from Rice. Nothing
sure here, hut Texas is the favorite
10 win, The Texas Aggies also
take on a robust opponent in
Baylor. Picking any of these Texas
elevens is a grab-bag proposition,
but on the records the Aggies
deserve the nod.
Villanova and Detroit put their
unbeaten marks on the line TO-
night. Villanova should win over
Manhattan and in the case OF
Detroit and Arkansas we hope.

Late Senator ReueL's
Niece Buried In ~ G.

GREENVILLE, Ga N P)-
The passing of Mrs. Henrietta
Revels EppS at her home here,
September 4th, leaves only one
niece, Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Mason,
of the late first United States
Negro senator, Hiram r. Revels.
She. lived in the old Revels' home
at Spartanburg, Ind. The death OF
Mrs. Henrietta Revels Epps brings
to light one of the most interesting
bits of history of the Negroes part
in American history.
Hiram r. Revels came to Ran
dolph county, Indiana, in 1o4e. He
settled on farm near Richmond,
Ind, and attended a school at
Libery, Ind. After needing the call
of the ministery, he studied at
Galesburg, Ill, where Knox col
lege is located, from there he start
ed school and preached at st.
Louis and finally was located in
an AME church at Natchez, Miss.
Here he preached for several years
and finally entered politics.
He was elected to the United
States Senate in 1870 and took his
seat in February, 1870, and re-
manned in the Senate through 1871,
In a compromise with Gov. AL
corn of Mississippi, he was made
the first president of Alcorn State
College for Negroes in Mississippi
and remained in that office until
his death in 1896.
John E. Reve1s, his brother, was
doctor among the Cherokee In
dians. He married Mary Eliza
beth Burden of oxford, Ohio, in
1868. To this union was born two
daughters, Henrietta Revels ane
Mary Elizabeth RevelS.
Mary Elizabeth married Charles
Mason and lives in the Homestead
at Spartanburg, Ind. This home
was used as station for the u11-
foreground railroad in conjunction
with the Levi Coffin home a

twenty minutes. Peel the peaches,
put in the syrup and cook until
tender. Seal and store.
HARD UPON THE HEELS OF our
peachy activities come the annual
pear crop. The same general rules
hold for canning pears as for
peaches. One uses the faithful SUI
gar syrup for liquid, one cup OF
sugar to three cups of water for
thin syrup, one cup of sugar to
two cups of water for medium, and
one to one for thick.
HARD VARIETIES of pears
pack better if they are cooked from
four to eight minutes in the boil
ing syrup and packed. BY the by,
did you ever ~eat baked pears?
They are just as delicious as baked
apples ever dared to be, and they
are prepared the same way.
They are even better because a
baked pear has more dignity than
a baked apple. It is not so likely
to go all "squshy', like a too fat
woman. Rather it keeps its shape
with character and poise. You know
how it's done. Don't peel the pears.
Core and stuff the cavity with
brown sugar add little water and
a blob of butter. Bake till done
and serve hot or cold. Watch your
family beam its approval.
Remember that for every quart
of fruit and vegetables you can this
year quart is released for house
wife who is perhaps not enjoying
the safety and comfort of her owr
kitchen. Remember her as you &
] about your daily tasks.

agency, but not one Of them at
present is colored.
When asked what she thought
OF the possibility Of employing Me-
gro women in the bureau, Miss An
derson said that their budget at
present would not allow it. but she
certainly was in favor Of it when
the money was available. She also
pointed out that these people
should come in as typists and
stenographers under the civil serv-
ice.
1t was pointed out to Miss An
derson that in addition to typists
and stenographers, there should
also be a Negro professional work
er who would see to 10 that all of
the valuable material and informa-

be made available to those who
needed it most.
A further appointment has been
requested with Frances Perkins, sec
rotary of labor, to further discuss
the matter and seek the naming of

Makeup is one of the most i'm
portant aids to beauty that we
have, but even makeup has its
limitations. 1t should be used to
enhance beauty, but it can't be en-
pected to paint whole new face
on top of your own.
PLENTY OF SOAP
Here's a good rule to remember.
Be lavish with your soap and water
and with your cleansing creams;
be sparing with your makeup.
And speaking of cleansing, never,
never go to bed without thoroughly
cleansing you facet! Many women
prefer a thorough soap an water
cleansing at night, followed by the
application Of smooth night
cream to help soften your skin
while you sleep.
When it comes tC makeup, be
sure to do il in a good light and
take time enough to do it care
fully. More and more, women are
finding that they ike a good
foundation cream or makeup base,
and there are many fine ones on
the market. If you use a cream
foundation, a cream rouge blends
best.
Use very little of it, just touch
on finger tip, and smooth it
carefully into your cheeks, follow
ing the cheek-bone line, and blend
ing the coloring so that it fades
out at the edges.
POWDER IMPORTANT
The choice of a tone of powder
is very important. Look for one
which blends with ard enhances
your own skin coloring. Some girls
like two shades-a darker one for
the first coat, and a final brushing
of a lighter tone for the second
application.
In powdering, and in applying
your powder base too, be sure to
cover the neck and under the chin
as well as your face.
Next comes your eye makeup
First, brush the powder from
eyebrows and eyelashes. Then
with a sharp eyebrow pencil, ac-
cent the natural curve of the
eyebrow line with short strokes.
Never run hard line through
the eyebrows, for this gives an un.-

may be like the general run of

that he is not the only pebble on
the beach.
OF course invite him to see you at
certain times instead of having him
drop in when the notion strikes
him. Let him know that he does
not have free run of your time.
I believe this method will help both
you and him and it will certainly
give you chance to see what he
means to you on your part and on
his. BY his reaction, you will be
able to know if you should drop
him altogether or keep dating him.
