BEAUTY HINTS
FIRST RULE OF BEAUTY
By Nina Temple

FIRST RULE OF BEAUTY
There is woman we'll over her fifty
mark who is always referred to as
that beautiful Mrs. So and So. Now,
if you look into her face you will see
no perfect features, no fawless COM
plexion, no alluring eyes and yet she
is considered beautiful. I asked her
why this was so and her answer was
this: "No, am not what one usually
calls a beautiful woman but I have
always stressed cleanliness and that
must be the charm that works the
magic" l noted her perfect grooming
and thought-Yes, it is just that, the
undeniable grace of perfect cleanliness
that hangs about you.

Telltale Sleeves

Sleeves are telltales this season.
So complete has been the change in
sleeve treatments that they definite
ly tell the newness of your dress,
your coat or blouse. The new silhou-
cite is achieved through deep arm
holes and smooth shoulders.
In softly styled dresses of sum-
merry silks and cottons the latest
news is short sleeves, mere shoulder
caps in many instances. In sleeves
that are longer there's fullness below
the elbow.

And; refreshed, he'll be gay. Cav
ness brings relaxation, pleasure,
happiness-romance.
All you have to do to find that nv
statements are true is tU look about
you. Mrs. Jones, right across the
street there, has been married for
years and years. Notice how the
house itself seems to bespeak of
cheerfulness, happiness. Notice how
Mr.. Jones arrives home promptly
he's anxious to get home Chill
dren? Sure they have children
happy youngsters. Hardships? Yes,
the Joneses have had hardships. Get
acquainted with Mrs. Jones and
you'll find that her home is neat.
that she is neat. You'll find that she
doesn't 'look her years" because she
has earned happinesse. She knows
the secret of successful living.
Contrast Mrs. Jones' way of life,
and the rewards she has, with Mrs.
Smiths manner of living. Mrs.
Smith, you know, is fine old wom-
an, but she has been careless. You
won't often see her sweeping the
porch, or shaking the rugs. She's
neglected her appearance, too. Mr..
Smith? Oh, he'll be home after
awhile sometime.
Yes, Little Bride, just look about
you, and then choose your own path
way. But let me strongly urge you
to choose the path trod by all the
Mrs. Joneses. Romance, and beauty,
awaits you at its end.

Very new is the color-on-color
treatment that designers are carry
ing out in summer sheers. The new
nylon sheers, especially, lend them
selves to this technique in that
they are thin almost to the point of
transparency. Black over pink is
favorite combination, navy over red
is effective, and orchid over pink or
light blue is lovely for evening.

Pleats return to popularity.
Capes have become an assured
fashion.
Yellow denim for play clothes
is first-page news.
Black velvet shorts with gay
blouses are "fnds" for summer.
Nude black" for sheer frocks
and hosiery is a summer must.
Deep-armhole, soft-shouldered
sleeves usher in new silhouette.
Tailored suits of wash fabrics,

Fashions expressly American are
creating much interest this season.
Since travel cheques are synony-
nous with trips, vacations, tours,
changes of scenery and climates,
they naturally tie in with summer
clothes those. especially de-
signed in smart cottons and rayons.
Pictured is an ensemble that makes
an ideal travel outfit. The suit of
Rocky Mountain green and white in
checqued rayon is topped with a
green grosgrain-bound white straw
halo hat. In addition to the new
checqued apparel, various acces-
sories to go with the dresses and
suits have been designed, including
jewelry, hats, handbags, blouses
and gloves. Even the luggage one
carries may be purchased in match
ing cheques.

SENATOR REYNOLDS
WILL RUN IN 1914

ASHEVILLE.-Senator Robert
r. Reynolds, who has represented
North Carolina in the United
States Senate since 1882, will be
a candidate to succeed himself in
the 1914 Democratic primary.
In an interview Tuesday, he
asserted: II. am as sure of being
indicated by the voters of North
Carolina on my stand on the arms
embargo and lend-lease bill at
the polls in 1914, when I will seek
reelection, as am of anything at
this moment
Senator Reynolds, who voted
against lifting the arms embargo
and the lend-lease bill, explained
that he followed ''the dictates of
my conscience and time will
prove that I voted right"
II had rather vote as my con-
science tells me, even if it means
political suidide, than to be a
party to any measure that will
eventually put millions of men
out of work and cause them to
lose their homes because of fail
ure to obtain employment" the
senator said.

My Mind
Bv G.. Nj. Dickson,

10y W X4s OANNSO4A
"My mind to me a kingdom is"
My wealth, my fortune, and my
fame;
The secret of the truth is this:
The constant training of my
brain.
To prison cells my mind is not
confined;
To earth's remotest bounds it
goes;
To the grave its work is not con-
signed;
But blossomsi the wilderness like
the rose.
It rides the highest oceans wave;
Down in the bowels of earth it
dwells;
Outstrips the mightiest of the
gales,
And in the caves and caverns
dWells.
My mortal body may be in pain,
But my mind is fresh and green;
HoWe'er severe the storms and
rain,
It's work is always plainly seen.
When age shall Stay this mortal
frame,
And in earth's chamber it may
rest,
I want my friends with one ac-
claim
To shout, ''He did his best"
AS my mind turns to the past,
And views its earthly trail,
1t visions a future world recast-
A greater ship on which to sail.

ing from a direct line shall first
see that such movement can be
made in safety and if any pedes-
trian may be affected by such
movement shall give a clearly au-
dible signal by sounding the
horn, and whenever the opera
ton of any other vehicle may be
affected by such movement shall
give a signal as required in this
section plainly visible to the driv-
er of such other vehicle of the in
tention to make such movement.
"(b) The signal herein required
shall be given by means of the
hand and arm in the manner
herein specified, or by any ap-
proved mechanical or electrical
signal device except that when
a vehicle is so constructed or
loaded as to prevent the hand and
arm signal from being visible
both to the front and rear the
signal shall be given by device
of type which has been ap-
proved by the state. Whenever
the signal is given the driver
shall indicate his intentions to
start, stop or turn by extending

rect line, give a signal-the cor
rect signa1-and give it in plen-
ty of time.

N. {. Highway Com. Suggests
Plan For Rationing OF Gas

Raleigh.-A count of vehicles in

IDLE change in the flow of traffic
since the gas curfew was inaugu-
rated August 8, and the only
remedy appears to be real ra-
tioning applied to individual mo-
tor vehicles" a highway commits

The official, James S. Burch,
engineer of planning and statis-
tics, expressed the further opin-
ion that the 10 per cent reduction
IN deliveries to gasoline dealers
would not be effective in reduc-
ing traffic. Under the policy, he
said, actual shortages of gaso-
line will be felt by the motorist
during the latter days of each
month"

deliveries" he said regarding the

The traffic count was made

Immediately after the plan was
inaugurated, Burch said that in
the counting of over 100000 We

''In other Words" he added, Gin
solar as these actual rural trait
fic counts on main roads are con-
cerned, there was no direct effect
by the curfew on gasoline reduc-
ton"
However, there were individual
changes, which he listed as fol-
lows:
"Sizeable increases were noted
near Lumberton, due, no. doubt,
to the recent tobacco market;
near New Bern, due probably to
the increasing marine air base &C
tivity; and near Asheboro, per-
haps connected with the silk
shortage announced August 3, and
the attendant excitement and To-
cal economic disturbance. An in
crease between Dunn and Fay
etteville was probably associated
with leaf tobacco movements to
the border markets.

Children In College

Time has brought about many changes, perhaps none
great that which has taken place in the life of the
Negro few years ago. Negroes could not read nor
write-a few years because compared to time,
ty-sx years but few. During these seventy-siX
years. Negroes have learned to do everything other
person has learned do AS time rolled from slavery
Negroes went to school, they finished high school and col
ege, but they finished and women Today, educa
ton has progressed to the extent that the high school boy
girl enters college not man woman but boy and
gir-when most of them finish four years of college
work, they hardly be cassed men and women.
Therefore, today send children to college and the col
eges send children to the world For this col
eges have greater responsibility than they had years
ago We know the attitude of children; they
ous minded their minds nat matured to the extent
that they able to withstand world full of modern
temptations they still carefree This situation is per-
haps one of the reasons for the youth problem which
the world is striving to solve These college graduates
children find it hard to put away childish things. We
do not wish to discourage the idea of finishing school at
early age but do wish to impress it upon the
minds of those who must contact with and train
these children the big task which is theirs.
