GlorWing Yourself
 Bv Alicia Hart
By Alicia Hart
By ALICIA HART NEA Service Staff Writer

Some time when you catch your self worrying absent -mindedly about your favorite defect, 1t might help to stop and think about it, calmly. Many women who are habitually unhappy about their looks needn't be at all.
 Ask yourself whether it possible to correct the feature that makes you self conscious. If you find that it can be done, then start working at it now.
 But if 1t cannot, the sensible thing to do and the one that pays in terms of the impression that you make on others is to stop fidgeting inside yourself and learn to dramatize your assets and mini mize your liabilities. Remember the assets particularly!
 For instance, if you are flat chested, have exercised correctly and the result is zero, why not buy clothes which emphasize your waist line and thus create the illusion of curve where one Is not? I know 8 very thin lass who so deplored her angular figure that, in her effort to cover up, she went to Mother Hubbard dresses. They made her seem utterly shapeless. Finally she really thought herself over, and adopted clothes that really fit her She was surprised to discover how feminine form she had.
 MAKE THE BEST
 OF GOOD POINTS
 Unless you can afford 8 plastic surgeon, you can do very little about the shape of your nose. But you could take attention away farom it by making your hair so lustrous and your figure so attractive that eyes would hover there naturally. A striking coiffure can keep attention well above your noStrilS.
 Not even the surgeon can change the shape or the size of your bones so there's nothing to be gained by regretting the size of your hands or feet-and as @ matter Of fact large ones can be perfectly grace full and even clumsy ones can be in- teresting.
 Learn to use them gracefully fl you can. And remember. size really is the least important thing about them. It's grooming that makes hands lovely.

 Did they when he left for camp drown him in tears or give him a cheerful send-off?
 When he wrote home complain ing of the food or the heat, or the strenuous physical life, did they go easy on their sympathy and make light of his experience, or did they write him how terrible they thought it was for him to have to go through all that and encourage him to grumble in every letter home?
 When he was careless about army regulations and was dis ciplined for it did they get in a huff and tell him they thought 1t was a crying shame and they had good mind to write their senator and let him know what was going on, or did they make a joke of it and re- mind him that he was "in the army now?"

is novel contribution made by
Oldsmobile 10 1912 styling.
From a lower bumper bar that
is as sturdy in design as the one
which attracted as much favorable
attention in the 1871 model, two
heavy vertical bumper guards rise
10 support an upper bar which is
designed 10 give a new degree of
protection TO tenders, headlamps
and radiator grille. Finished in
bright chrome, the new double
bumper covers much more area
than any previous bumper ever
did. and examination reveals il to
be very strongly constructed.
The side bars of the frame Of
the car have been extended SIX
inches forward TO give support 10
two steel channel braces that back
up the supports of the upper bar.

With curtailment OF civilian
automobile production putting a

Company assures car and truck
owners they can expect the tradi=
tional Ford long life in the com
pany's 1912 products.
r. II. McCarroll. speaking for
the company, said Henry Ford al
ways has insisted that trouble-free
service and long life be the first
consideration in the manufacture
of all Ford products.
Now. more than at any other
time, MIR. Ford holds us 10 that
obligation, MCCarroll continued.
This consideration by a manu-
facturer should he dOubly i'm
