NEW TINTS PREPARED
IN LIQUID FORM

Latest expression of the idea. a
well-known houses two makeup
sequences in dahlia reds, one light
and one dark. The light red is
bright and true, the dark has the
blue overtone. The dark color is
intended to harmonic with very
fashionable winey bags, shoes,
gloves. and other accessories. Both
reds are used in liquid complex
ion tint which is used as rouge or
a Whole-compleXion enhancer, in a
creamy foundation liquid, as we'll
as in face powder and lipstick.
It's nice to have both a true red
makeup for daytime, and blue red
for evening, especially if your ward
robe contains dresses or accessories
of both hues. The woman who is
using just one harmonized group Of
toilet things and makeup will want
to be sure that the color is a
compliment to her own coloring.
And she might remember. too,
that the blue -tinged red tends to
remain more truly red at night be-
cause artificial light does not fade
it. Some of the blue -tinged reds
are good in daylight also-those
which are not too blue.
There is, of course, one unfailing
guide for clothes and makeup har-
mony; see that both are becoming
to you and they're sure to go to-
gether.

THE APPLIED SCIENCE
OF AMERiCANISM
"A NewspqDer Week Editorial }

The voice of America spoke in China
the other day. 1t makes no difference
whether we approve of the words or the
phrasing, or of TIE man who uttered the
words.
4 am Wendell Willkie. and l say what
| damn we'll please"
He might as we'll have said, Il am an
American, and say what please
For it is the American right, and has
been since the days of the revolution, to
say what we please What we say need
not be the popular thing 1t need not
please those in high places, nor aglee
with the policies of our government.
Short of melting to violence and over
throw of the government, we can speak
our minds.
John Peter Zenger had lot to do with
this basic American right. John Peter
Zenger and Alexander Hamilton.
You have undoubtedly heard of Alex
ander Hamilton You may have heard of
John Peter Zenger. He was thrown into
prison, back in the days when Britain
still controlled the American colonies,
because he disagreed in his newspaper
with the policies Of the British governor.
The governor said that Zenger libeled
him. Zenger claimed that what he said
was the truth The governor said that
made no difference, it was libel just the
same
Alexander Hamilton defended Zenger
in court. He won acquittal for the plain
spoken pubiSher-and established the
unbroken precedent that truth cannot
be libel.
They did more than that, John Peter
Zenger and Alexander Hamilton. They
laid the foundation for a free press and
free speech in America. Because of them,
and their fidelity to an ideal, an Ameri-
can who has been snubbed by the silence
of the President of his country can stand
up in China today Cor anywhere else
in the civilized world) and say:

MOTHERS MUST REALIZE
WAR WON'T SPARE THEM

So the women who are still sit
ting around kidding themselves into
believing that their lives are going
on in just the same comfortable
way are just refusing to face the
situation like adults
1t is a crime that homes have
to be broken up, that children have
to get along without their fathers.
that mothers have to go cut and
get jobs in factories.
But that is what total war is
like. Total war is waged against
all people-and fought by all people.
And no woman can expect to be
an exception just because she has
children.

WE
the Women

The government has given her
a warning that her husband may be
called in the draft, despite the fact
he is a married man with children.
And she has taken a "They-can't-
do-this- tonne" attitude toward the
whole matter. To her, used as she
is to a mans support, companion
ship and protection, the idea that
her man may be called on to fight
for her and their kids is a person
al affront.
There are a lot of young wives
like her-who, in spite of the des-
perate plight of the world, have
just gone on figuring that their
men would never be taken from
them.
Well, they've got to get a new
slant on things For chances are
their men are going to have to go
and the women will have to get
along alone.
1t will probably be necessary for
them to give up their comfortable
homes. They may even have to
turn their kids over to their grand
parents or put them in a day nrr-
sery while they get jobs in war
plants.
1t isn't a pleasant picture. And
no wonder so many young wives
still refuse to face it. But these
aren't pleasant times. None of us
can have the things we once con-
sidered necessary. And if we are
to win this Wa. women, as we'll a;
men, will have to make grave sac

Funcies
By Paul Harrison

HOLLYWOOD, June - Lima
Basquette, who was a child actress,
featured Ziegfeld dancer and a
move star, is back in Hollywood
after a theatrical tour that took
her over most of the southern
hemisphere. In one of the Latin
countries she became involved in
bit of political intrigue-or at
least she was suspected by Nazi
agents of working counter to the
axis.
She wasn't known as an Ameri-
can-born actress, but as the wife
I'of British Henry Mollison, who was
a prisoner in Germany (and since
mas been reported dead. One day
she was virtually kidnapped while
leaving her hotel and was escorted
to the headquarters of the secret
Gestapo.
Their progress into the presence
of the gloWering NaZi chief was
pretty ominouS, as she tells it
After she was seated there was a
minute of taut silence. finally
broken by Miss Basquette. You
can't frighten me-" she said. Il
used TO work for Cecil DeMille!"
The interview broke up into a
discussion of Hollywood and an ad-
mission by the head Nazi that he
always had admired DeMille and
his pictures, which were very popu-
lar in pre-war Germany.
TOO NAMBY-PAMBY
The actress chief criticism of
HollyWood's war movies is that they
don't make the enemy sufficiently
fierce and fiendish. AS an extreme
example, Miss Basquette cited For
eign Correspondent" which she
says was widely praised by the pro-
German faction of one South
American country.
Reason for this odd slant was
that the positions of the hero and
heav% were reversed according to
the standards of the customers.
who didn't understand any too well
what the picture was about In
their opinion, though. Joel McCrea
seemed a bouncing blunderer while
Herbert Marshall\ won their ad-
miration by being SO Suave, cul-
tured and serenely devoted to his
Hitlerian theology. tThls picture

A FORECAST
Speaking of war themes, this de-
pertinent is going out on a limb
with a guess that Metros Mrs.
