We often think of a woman with
a lovely skin as being blessed by
nature. And, of course, she is. But
credit Is due her too, for she knows
that lovely skin can be kept beau
tiful only by her own efforts. She
knows that 1t takes constant vigi-
lance and care to guard against en-
larged pore openings, blackheads,
oily shine, or rough, scaly skin due
to dryness. She knows that scrupu-
lous cleanliness and good health
plays an important role.
If your complexion isn't all It
should be, 1t isn't too late to restore
it's loneliness. Start campaign
right now for keeping 1t glowingly
clean, and work hand in hand with
nature and improve 1t from within
by taking extra good care of your
health.
Here are a few simple "musts"
for vibrant health. Eat three, bal
anced meals day containing plenty
of green vegetables, fresh fruits,
milk, butter, cream and eggs. Drink
lots of water-at least eight glasses
day. Get as much fresh air and
exercise as you can, and sleep at
least eight hours each night. This
last might seem bit difficult, but
good average to shoot at.
Now for the outside. In many
sections of the country wintry days
with smOke-filled air mean more and
more care of your skin if you aspire
to pretty complexion. However,
the following routine is equally
good for the lass from the sunny
south.
If your skin is the oily type, soap
and water is your best bet. Use it
literally two or three times day.
Be careful in your selection of soap.
Find mild one that does not irri-
tate your face and stick to it. After

Equal Pay Asked
Continued from P"ge ~

ices Of the same kind and charac-
ter to men and women equally
qualified according to standards
which the state itself prescribes
arbitrarily pays less to Negro than
to white persons. This is as clear
a discrimination on the ground OF
race as could we'll be imagined, and
falls squarely within the inhibi-
ton of due process and equal pro-
lection clauses Of the 18th Amend
ment.
Stating that since it is quite ap-
parent" that the discrimination In
pay to teachers based solely on
color is unconstitutional, Petitioner
Reeves asks the board to "discon-
tinue the policy, custom and usage
of such distinctive discrimination
and to take prompt action on the
matter, mot later than the next
meeting Of the board, in order that
petitioners legal rights may not
be further jeopardized by delay. y
The equal pay question has been
before the board since January of
this year, the petition points out.

tive act under the terms of the bill.
Senator Clark, Democrat, of Mis-
souri,, was expected to take tine floor
in support Of the amendment today.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, Of
Montana said public sentiment was
very definitely turning against our
involvement in the war and our use
of conveys"
In further argument against con-
voys, he contended that no new
lease-lend equipment was piling up
awaiting shipment; that no lease
lend supplies had been sunk, and
that the most expensive weapons
now going to Britain were bombers
which "are being flown over"
He also said it was his under
standing that all of the 81 300, 900 900
of existing Army and Navy equip
ment legally transferable under the
Lease-Lend Act had been sent
abroad before the act was passed,
so no conveys were needed for that.
(SenatOr Wheeler'S claim that
no cargoes were piling up here
for lack of shipping space con-
tradicted a statement made by
President Roosevelt on April 30
when he called for q shipping
pool of 1000, 900 tons to expedite
movement of supplies. Vital war
materials" he said on that oc-
casion, "are piling up at the ports
or delayed at the factories.')

Hess Moved by Religion
To Seek Peace, Editor Says

Rudolf Hess went to Britain "as
a penitent seeking peace" William
Hillman, European director of Col
liers magazine, said last night in
a radio talk in which he described
the Nazi leader as follower Of
the American preacher and mission
ary, Frank Nathan Daniel Buchanan,
founder of the so-called oxford
movement.
Great secrecy surrounds most Of
what Hess told the British following
his fantastic visit to Britain by
parachute" Mr.. Hillman said, but
this I am able TO reveal. Hess
went to Britain as penitent seeking
peace, as Buchmanite moved to
confess his sins and mistakes and
those of his Nazi associates and try
and plead with the British to help
him put an end to the slaughter Of
men"
Hess, the speaker continued, made
an unsuccessful attempt three
months ago to bring about peace in
letter to his friend the Duke OF
Hamilton, but British authorities
to whom the communication was
given ignored it.
Hess has now told the British
that he has finally gotten religion,
that there was no hope for humanity
If the killing of 50 many men,
women and children went on Mr..
Hilman continued. Hess came to
plead for peace. AS true Buch-
mantle who is supposed to stand up
and confess his sins, Hess has ap-
parently not spared himself nor
his fellow Nazis."

placed commercial creamery but
ter production in this country at
100000 tons in 1910. An addi-
tional 217,000 tons was reported
to have been produced on farms,
thus giving a total production of
1,121 900 tons last year. Officials
said this volume was expected to
be increased materially this year
