U. S. Foreign Legion

Whether some like to admit it
Or not, General Macarthur owes
lis brilliant stand to a conglom-
ration of racial representatives
of the so-called brown, black,
and white races, all fighting to-
gether shoulder to shoulder.
This truly was a mixed U. S.
Army.
Yet there are some SNUG
aryan minded citizens who
would probably refer to Nc
Arthur's group as a foreign le-
gion. This obviously is not true.
The Philippines are battling as
Americans for American democ-
racy and they are doing a grand
job of it. With more equal OPP
nortunities they would have
done even a better job Of it.
Gen. Macarthur did not rely
upon Colored peoples by acct
dent. He is a former aid to the
famous Teddy Roosevelt who
was saved at San Juan Hill by
Colored troops. Macarthur, 62
years old, has spent 40 years in
the Army near Colored troops
in the Spanish American, the
Mexican, the first World War
and in the ar East. Macarthur

Outlook BrlQht

Since historian Carter WOOD
son has said that nothing worse
can happen to the descendants
of Ham than has happened to
us already, the outlook after the
current war must be termed
bright.
Some profess to see brighter
signs already.
You may soon be able to pick
up your morning paper and read
that Colored Americans have
been accepted into the Major
Leagues.
The following week you may
read that the American tennis
and golf associations have low
cred their bars against color.
True. it is a little late in the
season to read that Colored have
been signed into the profession
al. or even amateur hockey
leagues but it could be that
sepia stars might be asked TO
ioin the professional football
leagues. These things will hap
pen some day.

Great General

There is no question that Nc
Arthur is one of the greatest
generals in U. S. history. Should
Macarthur have the good fortune
to direct our army effort from
Washington the Colored soldier
would experience a golden era
so far as opportunity to serve IN
all branches of the service with
equality are concerned.
Macarthur would hardly OPP
pose a mixed army after the
realistic experiences he has had
in the Philippines.
Macarthur could exert a most
influential action in establishing
a more democratic set-up in the
U. S. Navy and Air force.
believe that if Gen, Macarthur
and Teddy Roosevelt were pow
ers in directing the war effort
to-day, you would find more Col
ored citizens having more equal
opportunities in national de-
cnSe.

What does a man notice first
about a woman? Her hairl You
can't be really well-grOomed or at
tractive unless your hair is attrac-
tive. You may have lovely figure,
you may even have beautiful face,
but if your hair doesn't look we'll
cared for and isn't becomingly ar
ranged, very few people will see,
your curves or your clear-cut fea-
lures.
Always remember, the first and
most important rule for beautiful
locks is cleanliness. Hair should
be shampoOed as often as it be-
comes dirty. There can be no set
rule for the interval between sham
poos because of the many different
conditions under which we live. A
girl living in a smoky city would
naturally have to shampoo her hair
more often than a girl living in the
country. As a general practice,
ten day or twe-week interval is rec
commended for active persons with
normal hair. If your hair Is oily,
wash it as often as once a week.
Before you wet your hair loosen
with a comb any dirt or dandruff
that might be present. Next brush
the hair vigorously in all directions.
Pull it forward from the back until
it hangs over your face. Push the
sides upward. Then smooth 1t back
in place and massage it briskly with
your fingers. If your scalp is dry
and fiaky give yourself an oil
treatment before you shampoo. Use
any vegetable oil-corn, cottonseed
or olive you'll probably find some
in the kitchen). Warm it and apply
it to your scalp with a massaging
motion. Plan ahead of time so you
The guardian. [volume] (Boston, Mass.) 1901-1960, 1942-03-07

can let the oil remain on your hair
for an hour, or even overnight. For
dry hair choose a shampoo that
.cleanses gently. Be extremely fussy
about rinsing. Shampoo left in the
hair results in a dusty, lifeless
color.
II your hair is oily use a fairly
strong soap shampoo or one of the
soapless variety that cleans so well
and makes rinsing so simple. Scrub
around your hairline with a brush,
and if you have dandruff, brush in
the shampoo all over your scalp.
Follow thorough rinsing with a
tinted, Frightening rinse to bring
out flattering highlights. If your
hair becomes oily between sham
poos, there is a so-called dry"
shampoo on the market which is
very effective.
Whether your hair is oily or dry,
get into the habit of brushing it
each night. In the morning give 1t
just few wide. generous strokes,
then brush it into place, arranging
as usual, and you will never go back
to the old habit of running comb
through in casual fashion. Every
day brushing will give your locks
new sparkle and sheen. Try it.
You'll be repaid with more and
more admiring glances-more COM
pliments from your friends.

only Healthy People
Should HGndIe Babies

ONE of the most important
" things a mother can do to
keep her baby healthy is to proven:
his coming in close contact with
anyone who has an infectious dis
ease.
! He should be prevented not only
from the usually communicable dis
eases of childhood such as diptheria,
scarlet fever, measles, chicken pox,
and whooping cough, but the unde-
tected infections that can be com
municated even when the carrier
does not know that he or she has
them. Only healthy people, DR..
Josephine Kenyon warns in the No
vember issue of Good Housekeeping
magazine should handle baby.
This means, DR.. Kenyon says, not
only the mother, father, brothers,
sisters and other relatives, but the
permanent ard temporary helpers in
your home as we'll - anyone who
handles the baby, his clothing or
linen or his food. A trained baby's
nurse will undoubtedly have had a
complete physical examination, and
her health can be assured by the
hospital, but a thorough check-up
on the health of any part-time helper
should be made.
DR.. Kenyon suggests that you talk
with the applicant for the job in a
friendly way and explain that you
wish to have around your baby only
healthy individuals. The best way,
to be sure of that is by medical ex-
animation. Has she had one recent
ly? If so, would she mind asking her
doctor to give her a card saying that
she is free from communicable dis
eases. If not, then explain the value
of health examination - for her
self as well as for the baby's pro-
ection.
