They learn regular habits and this

While there never is any question
In the average mothers mind as to
which comes first. baby's routine or

stay up late to get the work done.
But no one could stand the pace for

Housework should have q plan.

In the first place. 1t would be a
good plan to take notice OF the
things that stimulate us and those
that wear us down and deplete us.
When we talk about things that
stimulate us. we are thinking Of
things that stir up these trophic

better Job Of taking nourishment

feeling Of having them of Of your

AS the years shove along. and
the tissues carry less and less

Of the system, we must learn the
lesson Of giving them more time to
do their work. This means more
time for rest and certainly more
time for sleep and restoration.

FOR LITTLE FACES

II you have q tiny face, avoid
too bulky or too full hair-do.
Brush the hair sleekly back from
the temples with q trace Of q
wave and some height on the
forehead in the form Of soft in

this the hair should be fairly short

Such q hair arrangement will give
you q lovely profile and will add
q frame that Is In scale with your

She Can Help

There are many heated discus.
sions on the subject Of how women
should dress during wartime, and
I think one remark made by q boy
to the effect that when he gets
home on leave he hopes he won't
find his wife looking like q top SER
geant about sums up the masculine
angle Of this subject. There's q lot
twaddle. In my opinion, written
about our duty to be extra special in
appearance, ravishing, alluring and
glamorous. From this one gets Q
picture OF an expecant girl all
dressed up and waiting to be called
for by an onlooker, who, as q mat
ter Of fact, is probably so glad to be
home and to be with her that she
would look beautiful to him las is"
and without benefit Of an extra
special dolling-up. After all, it's the
girl and not her clothes who Is the
main attraction; she's not dressing
q part but character.
II the woman at home saves food
and tinfoil and newspapers: II she
knits and rolls bandages, or turns
her hand to any Of the tasks that
need doing, she Is doing the little
helpful things that don't require
heroics. but do require time and
thought. She can help, too. by not
saying, send 1t, please" but by TAX
ing home. whenever possible, her
purchases. This saves all along the
line at small Inconvenience to ones
self.
Where there are children to be
considered. there Is the very impor-
tant Job Of keeping them carefree
and happy. Don't talk Of the things
that would brighten them when

stead. choose clear, bright red or
one of those soft, not-too-deep blu
ish-reds which look lovely in a
white world and with your bright
hued ski suit.
Use Rosy Powder
Unless your complexion Is dark
or tanned, use rosy powder that is
just shade deeper than your COM
plexion tones. Press it we'll into the
trace Of cream on your face and
brush of excess so your makeup
will not streak or cake. Use eyebrow
pencil delicately If necessary, a tiny
bit Of oil on your lids. but no shadow
or mascara. For extra protection,
use foundation lipStick. In roug-
ing, carefully follow the natural
outlines of the mouth and blot of
excess color. Remember theatrical
effects are obvious and out of place
for any outdoor sport.
One of the skiers' problems is to
protect feet accustomed only to
light pumps or ties from the heavy
socks and boots worn all day long
on a ski jaunt. The best recipe for
comfort is the witch hazel soak at
the end Of the day, which offsets
minor skin irritations and rests
them.
Bumps and bruises are common
to ski enthusiasts, topnotchers or
beginners. A witch hazel rub helps
prevent pain and swelling. A bad
bruise or bump. however, should be
treated with overnight applications
of wet towel soaked in the sooth-
ing liquid. So be prepared for skiing
beauty and comfort with a large
bottle Of witch hazel in your ski
pack!

Gen. Tinker, Part
Indian, Takes
Hawaii Post
BY TALBOT LAKE

THERE are people still alive to-
1 day who can remember when the
United States Army spent most Of
its time fighting Indians. Today.
Brig. Gen. Clarence L. Tinker. who
is One-eight Usage Indian, Is hold
ing one of the most important posts
in the Army. He has been sent to
Hawaii to take command of the air
force there. His most recent nomi-
nation, that of Major General. was
made by President Roosevelt just
recently.
In my opinion" he said, 1.-The air
force will be the controlling factor
in all wars. including this one. We
are stronger now and are getting
stronger. Under the program the
President has outlined we will have
a force sufficiently large and effec-
tive for anything in the world"
This is a long statement from q
man who is known for his few
words. General Tinker was In
Tampa, Fla, when the attack on
Pearl Harbor took place. When the
change in commands was made
after that attack, he left Tampa
and reached Honolulu 80 hours
later.
General Tinker was born at Paw
huska, Okla, Nov. 81, 1877. He at
tended Wentworth Military Acad-
envy in Missouri, played end on the
academy football team and took
part in other sports.
When he was graduated he was
snapped up by the Philippine Con-
Stabulary and spent four years In
the islands. In 1912 he returned to
the United States as second lieu
tenant in the constabulary and was
transferred in that grade to the
army. The next year he went to
Hawaii and it was here that on Oct.
8, 1913, he was married.
He returned to the mainland In
1917 and served with the 18th In
fantry regiment on the Mexican
border. He was with the SD and
35th Infantry and the 65th Depot
brigade during the first World War.
but did not get to France. In 1920
he was promoted to major, and 1t
was in that year he turned to q
first love-f1ying.
He was graduated from the Air
Service Pilots Observation and
Tactical schools, and broadened his
education at the Command
and General Staff School at Fort
Leavenworth, Kan. In 1926 he was
ordered to London as assistant mil
itary attache.
Returning to the United States
in 1927. Gen. Tinker went into the
Office of the Chief Of the Air Corps.
His later posts included assistant
commandment at Kelly Field, Tex:
officer at Mather
Field, California and commander
Of pursuit and bombardment units
at March Field and Hamilton Field
in California. In 1885 he was made
a lieutenant colonel and in 1910 at
tanned the grade of general ofiicer.
General Tinker. in 1885, led the
first mass fight to be made across
the continent in less than "a hours.
His 33 planes flew from March
Field, CAL, to Vero Beach, Fla, in
81 hours and Is minutes.
