Thanksgiving Celebrations FIishIishted
By Joyous Gatherings in Valley Homes

Golden brown turkey, scarlet
cranberries, rich lucious mince and
creamy pumpkin pies-all the ira
ditional dishes of Thanksgiving
uniting in one delectable fragrance
emanating from the homes of I'M
perial Valley, symbolic yet an
other American holiday with a ma
ton still free from war.
And in Imperial Valley that free
dom met with the real spirit of
Thanksgiving as in every COM
munity union, as we'll as individual,
church services were scheduled so
that citizens might gather to give
their thanks for another year of
peace and their prayers for the
year to come.

ity, Thanksgiving again this year
a festival of joy, for on every hand
Thanksgiving family reunions are
being held and football is for most

If you awaken tired and head
achey, even the best of facial treat
ments will not put you in form.
Nothing will do that Uut a rest
full nights sleep. No cosmetic
magic has been found that will
make tired eyes lustrous or hide
swollen pouches beneath the soul
orbs. Makeup must have some
thing to work ON if it is to prove
effective. 1t makes the weary
face look wearier, but it makes the
fresh map appear even fresher and
more vivid.
The candidate for good aupear-
ance must have a healthy skin,
good digestive machine, sound
teeth and a sweet disposition.
she will look sour, and a lemonat-
ed woman occupies a back seat
wherever she happens to be. Mental
hygiene is an important factor for
happiness as well as good looks.
To have healthy skin it is
necessary to be a bath fiend, to
scrub the facial coating at least
once a day with soapy water, TO
avoid foods that upset the diges-
tive motors. Many a dingy COM
plexion is due to eating poorly
cooked groceries-foods fried in
grease, soggy pastries and other
goSh-awful stuff that is dished
up by many housewife who
hasn't the gumption to learn
something about the culinary art.
To have sound teeth and abun-
dant- locks one must include cal
cium in the diet and certain vita
Minis. One gets them by drinking
milk and eating plenty OF fruit
and vegetables.
SLEEP EIGHT HOURS
Only foolish woman Will fancy
tha she can dance half the night,
get home at dawn, pile out after
a few hours sleep and not pay The
price which will present itself in
the form of facial crinkles and
tissue sag. She'll look like a lot OF
birthdays she hasn't had yet.
We're not old fashioned enough
to believe that health and beauty
are the same thing; they're not.
But there is no beauty without
health. Vitality is the foundation
of the temple of pulchritude. A
girl must have spirit OF she can't
line up in the beauty chorus.
Sleep eight hours every night,
bathe daily, eat wisely and at
regular hours. D11't indulge in
emotional spreeS. Keep good-nat-
ured. There you have a bag OF
beauty tricks that are priceless.

sympathy toward the aims of the
group by continuous applause
when speakers scored points.
DR.. Thompkins made several
strong points and suggested ways
and means Of raising the standards
Of the business, but his chief en-
phasis, besides discussing the san1-
taTy aspects of the business, was
on the proper conduct of shops.
At one point DR.. Thompkins
said the public should be educated
to look for the operators license as
a means of proper protection and
assailed the sanitary code of the
district as one of the poorest in
America. He also advocated Negro
representation on the Cosmetic
board and in every spot where it
would be helpful to the organiza-
tions.
Following the discussions, there
was an advance style show, with
models illustrating the new FASH
ions to be expected in the spring
STUDENTS LIFE OF TRADE
In presenting Mrs. Eleanor Jack
son, the only colored member of
the board of examiners, Mrs. Joyn-
er stated in regard to the students
who were present that she consider
ed them the life of the beauty
culture business and the means of
expanding it and continuing it as a
life stream Of the Negro economic
situation.
Wages, hours and means of pre-
setting the claims Of the licensed
operators were discussed.

tlonal president of the Beauty
Culturists league who was unable

readiness to go along with the

every possible way until their

1t is only right that your children
take care of the home now, even
If you were working, after you have
brought them to the place where
they can take care of you and
themselves.
I do not think you are going
about it IN the right way. Do not
tell them to do this or get out
They know you can hardly mean
that, and therefore. do not take
the main part Of your request
seriously.
Make a list of the expenses Of
the house, including a little extra
spending money for yourself, ana
divide it into the number of chill
dren you have and ask them to
pay this per week. Better still, set
certain amount. after you have
done the exact figuring Of tho COST
to run the house, and charge them
for board and room. 1nIs is WHAT
most mothers and fathers do after
their children are working. Tell
them that they will have to pay
this amount so that you can keep
the house going. Let them pay
by the week of according to the
paydayS.
Let me know the results but don't
put them out; this will not help.
I believe if you will give them this
budget together, and ask them to
pay it, that you will have no fur
ther worries.

AT night when the stars come out.

When the cares of day are swept

And the sea-tides ebb and flow.

Gently spreads its silvery beams.
When lovers roam by the sea surf

And you gently hold my hand;
