E. H. P: Should my husband
quit the job he is on to go to work
in the Defense Plant as a Sand
Cutter? Will he be successful?
Ans: There is such a demand
for skilled labor in the Defense
Plants, l feel that it would be a
very patriotic act to make this
change. 1t would mean his getting
back to his original trade as well
as a decided increase in pay. He
would be happier on different job.
w. B. A.: Tell me if my wife is
true to me in love? She seems to
want me to stay at home with her
all the time. I believe she is slip
ping around. She is young, but
she seems to care a lot for old peo-
pie. 1 know that I am not perfect,
but want a good wife or none at
all. How can we get along?
Ans: Toe the line, brother, just
as you are demanding of your wife.
She had a just reason to squawk
when you threw away your last
pay check. This is the main cause
of her indifference since that time.
The interest your wife shows in
this elderly lady is due to lOneli-
ness. She needs to make friends
among the couples her own age.
You are spending too much of your
time running around to clubs and
organizations alone rather than
seeking entertainment that both of
you can enjoy. You have a good
wife and you know she is not
cheating. Better buckle down and
show her the same consideration
that you expect of her.
B. E. W.: I would like to take
a trip around the 18th of this
month for about 10 weeks. 1 would

my job to hold it until I return.
Should I take this vacation?
Ans: Your present job is snap.
1t is easy, pays well, and is not
combining. Hold onto your summer
job and take your 10 weeks vaca-
ton before you go to work on your
winter job. If you don't stick to
this job, you can't expect these
people to hire you again next sum-
mer.
]. j.: My husband and I quarrel
frequently about nothing. What
would you suggest for me to do,
stay quiet and listen to the music
or quarrel back at him?
Ans: 1t is feather in your cap
if you can keep your self control
while he is ripping and snOrting
like a bull. Let him make his
speech and get it out of his sys-

Ban Left and u Turns

IT is encouraging to learn that Grand River avenue
traffic accidents have been cut q per cent since police
banned left turns and u turns on that street.
It is revealing also to know that in Detroit last year
than 10000 accidents resulted from left turns
before turning.
The Detroit Times has advocated for several years
aboshing left and turns all the citys main
thoroughfares.
They unnecessary nuisances and their elimination
would work hardship motorists Proof of this is the
fact that stopping left and turns Grand River avenue
Detroits heavily travelled highway caused pro-
test from motorists
They constitute definite impeachment to the smooth
flow of traffic along main arteries.
And, above ALL they are traffic hazard of first i'm
portance.
If their elimination Grand River reduced
accidents q per that ratio should be spread
all over Detroit.
Why not forbid left and turns every main artery
in Detroit?
There be sound objection to such ban.

And he proposed to them that
they use these resources, as a
community. getting the greatest
work out of them with the great
est conservation of them; organ

Mere Unity Wont Win War;
Community Spirit Will
BY DOROTHY THOMPSON

INTO this discussion Of the
hIproblem OF mobilizing the
ntion, instead of merely the
state, has burst a piece OF good
news.
1t emanates from Mount
Gilead, o.
1t is the story OF a community
going to war, through its own
instruments Of self-help. and it
illustrates in action what 1 have
been trying to put into words.

Barley complained Of the COM
placency Of the nation. Sweet
got sore and took a leave Of
absence and went home 10 his
own small town TO do what he
thought ought 10 be done.
NOV, what did he do?
~ He began by recognizing
a fundamental fact. the lack OF
recognition of which contributed
to the fall of France; the recog-
milton of which accounts for the
resistance of China and the re-
markable stand Of Russia.
This fact is that wars are not
fought and won by bureaucracies
or by individuals.
They are fought and won by
communities.
But 10 have the community
fight you must re-create and
strengthen the community.

- SIhE0L DBEAUTYPATHC COMING BACK?

ing wells which were adorned
with spots similar to the beauty
patches of the days of the old
French court.
During the so-called Gay Nine
ties, a few imaginative and in
trepid beauties more or less
familiar with the history of
France, attracted attention to
their facial charms by sticking
modest "mouches" in strategic
places.
The custom was considered, in
those days, somewhat on the
bizarre and garish side and ladies
of refinement and culture did not
take up the fashion.
One celebrated actress, who
had an extraordinarily beautiful
back, made sure that no one
would overlook this physical at
tribute by wearing beauty spot
on one of her shapely shoulder
blades whenever she appeared in
an evening gown. Even this did
not revive the old French vogue.
Maybe Hollywood, where all
things seem to be possible, will
turn the trick.

NNEE may be in for a re
N/ vival of a centuries-old
" custom and all because
Hollywood film stars are taking
TO wearing beauty patches. Not
since the 18th century have
"mouches," as patches were
known then. made a comeback.
Although adopted by Roman
women as a beauty novelty.
patches in those early days were
nothing much more than a re-
finement of the primitive prac-
tice Of body painting.
1t was not until the zoos that
the wearing of mouches really
became a vogue-and then it
took the damsels Of that day by
such storm that patches were as
much a part of feminine makeup
as lipstick is today.
The origin of the beauty patch
as fashion is vague. Some
costume authorities hold to a be-
lief that it was an offshoot of
he Roman days. Others think it
originated with the use of plast-
ers worn as cure for headaches.
The most likely theory Of all,
however, is that it grew out of
the belief of two centuries ago
that a woman wasn't really
beautiful unless she had a mole
on her face. That's why all the
would-be imitators Of the beau
ties of the day wore patches.
AS the custom grew. the
patches changed from imitation
moles to various designs and
shapes-such as stars, moons,
crosses, and other forms. The
shape, size and location of the
mouches also took on different
meanings.
Tho French coquette, for ex-
ample, who wanted to encourage
men. let the state of affairs be
known by wearing her mouche
in the center of the left cheek.
The prim and unflirtatious lassie
who wanted TO be left strictly
alaae, wore hers high on the left
cheek.
