The Powers Girls
Fascinating Book

Sooner or later somebody had to
write book about the famous
Powers models, so it is only proper
that it should be John Robert Pow
ers himself. He has done a good
Job in the volume. The Powers
Girls" published by E. P. Dutton &
Co. and full of amusing anecdotes,
sound advice and much entertain
ment
Starting. logically. at the begin
ming. Mr.. Powers tells Of how his
agency was formed on a proverbial
shoestring-probab silken in this
case He goes on to introduce, edi-
torially, his best-known american
Beauties" and in a section called
THE Care and Feeding of Models. y
discusses the qualifications for sue
cess. Although about 100000 girls
apply for work as models annually.
Mr. Powers says. only about l out
of every 1000 have the qualities
needed. He submits for your as
sistance the kind of application he
approveS-and even let's you in on
the secret of what's in those hat
boxes all Powers girls carry as a
badge of their success
In the third part of his book the
author gives sound advice on make
up and clothes-not to mention his
suggestions on how and when to
wear certain styles. This part in
particular will be helpful to all
women. whether or not they are in

for the advice is from an expert,
and it makes lot of sense. HI

migation which unleashes chem
icals fatal to moths and buffalo
bugs. but which is not poisonous or
diStasteful to pets or humans. is a
great help. This chemical is re-
leased through high pressure guns
behind baseboards and under floors,
where old-fashioned methods fail.
1t is highly efficient and causes no
such inconvenience as closing up
the house for day or more, or
having to remove all delicate and
fragile materials and metals.
Lately the moth problem has
been approached from an entirely
different angle. Instead of killing
the moth or carpet beetle by sprays
or fumigation after he has arrived
and possibly started his expensive
destruction. it is now possible to
immunize ali fabrics and surfaces
so that the small brutes will avoid
them. Rugs, draperies, clothing
and all valuable hangings and up
holstery may be treated to make
them completely inhospitable to
moths and beetles for five years. At
about the cost of dry cleaning. a
mans suit may be given complete
protection.
This treatment is not removed by
dry cleaning, nor does it change
materials in any way or demand
any special attention
Army and Navy uniforms may be
treated without the removal of any
insignia or braid as the chemical
does not tarnish or discolOr any
surface. Dress uniforms which
are worn only occasionally may be
kept safely at home without extra
attention as the treatment carries
a written five-year guarantee OF i'm
munity
Carpets and fine Oriental rugs
may be kept on the floor summer
and winter, chairs and upholstered
furniture will need only ordinary
good household care for cleanliness.
as no moth or beetle will find ref
uge where this treatment has been
used.
Simplifying the household routine
by these methods OF eff1cient care
of valuable possessions leaves
housewives hands and minds free
for more important work.

Dorothy Dix Says
A Mothers Union Would Control
Youngsters Willful Actions

that she is a martyr and that her
delights in torturing her offspring.
So for the sake of peace in the
family and because the young have
more fight in them than their elders,
Sally wears mother down even
tually and mother gives in and lets
her do the things that she knows
she should not do.
But what one mother cannot do
alone and unaided, the combined
mothers OF every community can do
if they will only get together and
unite on few rules and regulations
for the conduct of their children.
For in union there is strength and.
while the individual mother is so
weak a creature that a 3-month-old
baby can run over her, organized
motherhood would be an invincible
power against which the infantry
could not prevail.
Consider how a mothers benevo-
lent and protective union could be
made to work. To begin with, it
would put a taboo on all parties
during the school week. Even BIRTH
day celebrations would be deferred
until Friday afternoons and Satur-
days and Sundays. And all parties
would start early and end early
There would be no going to the
movies or having dates except on
week ends.
A mothers union would save par
ents the continual struggle they
have in trying to control their chill
dren and make them do what they
should do and keep them from doing
what they shouldn't do and in
which they always lose out because
they are not backed up by other
parents. Nor would being regl-
mented cause resentment among
children. for they are copycats.
They only want to do what the
others are doing.
