Exercise
Gives Your
Skin Tone

II you value your youthful. elias
tic skin-exercise. II you do not
you're sure 10 see that dull. slight
ly grsyish cast on your face. IL
will lack tone.
And adequately daily exercise
as entirely too few women rea-
lie, needn't complicate your life
or take up a great deal Of time.
The girl who resolves to do few
simple routines for six or seven
minutes every single morning, in
fact. will be in much better phys
ical condition at 40. and hence
better looking. than one who does
a half an hour or more of exercise
whenever the spirit moves her.
So get into some group which
has a defense-related physical fit
ness program-or decide on four
or five exercises which will keep
the muscles of your arms. legs,
stomach, neck and back firm and
supple, and do these regularly. l
suspect, in fact, that many women
who get started in classes and
groups will do more exercising in
their own rooms too much TO
their benefit. II each conditioning
exercise is repeated five times
daily, the chances are your skin
never will take on an unhealthy
looking. grayish tint.
STIMULATE
CIRCULATION
To stimulate circulation further,
use coarse, rough bath towels and.
after bathing. rub the skin so
vigorously that it turns pink. This
is important-both for the exer-
else involved, and for the stimula-
ton to the circulation.
Remember, too. that a diet con-
sisting mainly of pastries and
sauces, starches and sweets, is not
conducive to lovely skin. The truly
beauty-wise woman eats four kinds
of food-meat or fish, milk, fresh
fruits and vegetables and bread
every single day, and she eats
much more of these than of sweet,
starchy desserts.

WHERE IGNORANCE
BECOMES TRAGEDY

ODT is on the way 10 choking Imperial
Valley farmers to death, along with those
in other parts of the nation, in a three
way government squeeze The deadly
triangle:
|. The administration ordered a gen
eral increase in production Of war crops
on An rican farms.
,. The agricultural department an
nounced that farmers who fail to meet
the increase viii be penalized stiffly by
loss OF agricultural adjustment agencn
payments.
5. ODT allotted thousands Of farmers
far less gasoline than they need to carry
on their Nitol work.
The possible result: For lack Of gas
the mcchaniZed farmer cannot increase
production as demanded, and for his
inability will be penalized by what
amounts to d government-imposed fine.
ODT had better move its offices from
Detroit to the west coast. or move some
west colst farmers 10 Detroit as expert
advi.ors-Or fold up. If it doesn't, the
farm-r will fold up.
The Detroit clerks and sub-offcials of
ODT who pass on applications for certifi-
Gates Of necessity seem to have some
DicRensonian conception Of the farming
industry coupled with an idea that every
farmer is an expert certified public ac-
cOuntant able to keep the most cOmpli-
Gated of records in his spare time and
do his farming in regular hours-which
arr q per day
Farms are operated ON gasoline-driven
wheels in the west these days. ODT has
got 10 be made to understand that.
When the farmer asks for gasoline,
he's not asking for some magic fluid to
provide him with entertainment and re-
laXation. He's asking for what he needs,
and needs badly.

Imperial Valley farmers have stood

most without exception, thos' Who have
heard the verdict have been pronounced

They nave been declared guilty OF dis

petty chiseling It has been ruled, in ef-
feet, that their word cannot be trusted
and their Judgment cannot be supported.
The Office of Defense transportation
is conducting the trial. without Jury.
Expert witnesses are seemingly barred
from the courtroom and only hearSaN

From the results achieved, ODT in It's
Detroit offices seems to approach each
application for Il certificate OF War neceS-
Sity-upoH which farmers and CONNER
cial oL rators must depend for their gas
oline aIlotmeutS-With the theory that
every appliation represents a dishonest
attempt 10 obtain more gasoline than the
applicant is entitled to.
There may he cases in which applica-
tons were accepted and acted upon at
face value. We have not heard of amy
Every instance we have been 2b.1 TO fer

As was to be expected. the
Roosevelt ByrncS pay limitation
ukaSe is being denounced as Com
muiStiC in spirit and in trend.
That is not fair-to the Reds. They
have long since progressed beyond
the experimental stage marked by
this executive law
We have criticized it on the
ground. among others, that it dis
eliminates against earnerS as con-
traSted with inheritorS-becaC6e a
man is not permitted to receive
more than S25, ,000 year net for
the sweat of his brow, but can have
much more FOR which he has given
nothing in return.
That criticism is fair a pertinent.
If should be noted. however, that
this effect was net the choice of
the President or Of the lcft-Wing
union which gave him the idea. The
United Automobile Workers and
the President or of the left-Wing
sources. and took his discriminatory
half-pint / auSe Congress, with
the apparent approval of the people,
refused llatlV to go along on the
broader program.
Perhaps the President hopes that,
10 eliminate the discrimination,
Congress now viii consent to do
what he asked in the first place,
and make the limitation apply 10
ali income from whatever source.
Originally CommuliSm had the
idea of spreading the wealth and
Cquali2in9 income in hope of keep
ing il spread. That. obviously, is
what the $25 600 limitation would
tend to do here.
But as soon aS Russia began try
inr 10 capitalize on her natural
wealth and to induStrialize, She
found that Communism of the eco
nomic variety wouldn't work. Grad
uallN. with Il minimlsm cr publicity
the Soviet discarded that angle Of
Communism.
Russia has been marvelously Sue
CcSSful in the emergency building
Of industry. AS we discover that
fact, we learn also that the profit

is highly regarded by the Rus

GLORIFYING
YOURSELF
BY ALICIA HART
YEA Service Staff Writer

Few women can match the coed
professional manicurist, but most
women can and should learn to do
a worthwhile job for themselves.
1t will save your time and your
nails to do them at home when
YOU cannot get to the beauty shop
at least once week.
The first well-knoWn rule of good
manicuring is: don't cG@ or file
corners. This one was honcred
most often when narrow on-tip$
were fashionable as they are not,
nowadays
Round or taper the nail to fol-
lew the natural outline of your
iingertip A good guide for deter
mining this outline is to hold your
hand up to the light, palm in.
You should be able just barely to
see the edge Cf the nail which is
the rieht shape and length.
Use flexible file or emery
boards, never stiff steel implements.
Best bet for cuticle control is the
familiar orange wood stick. Soak
the nails. use the stick after soak
ing. and soak after filing.
Don't cut the cuticle. ii you
have been, and consequently have
hangnails, ycls might snip those.
But only when they are jagged,
and even then you should not cut
into the cuticle or corner of the
fingertip or nail,
Rather, massage with cuticle oil
and gently push back the cuticle
with the flat end of the orange
stick.
When you use liquid polish, Use
two coats and a sealer over the
last one

ORGANIZATION IN AIR

(Christian Science Monitor)
In 4 survey Of the war Il leading Brit
iSh newspaper recently obSei ted that
the Germans have owed their great mill
tarT successes even mOrt to their skill
in organization than to their fighting
qualtic, in the field. In some Of It's raids
this year against. the Continent. the
RAF has shown that, in one relatively
limited sphere OF action, the United Ma
lions are beginning TO catch up, and even
surpasS the German record.
Dnng the whole Of the last war the
Germans dropped about 250 tons Of
bombs on Britain. early in the fall of
1870 they dropped 4 heavier load than
this on London alone in Il single night
In orc night at Coventry they dropped
100 tons, and later London received as
much as 100 tons III q single raid. But
raid9 Of this sort lasted eight or ten hours
each.
Regarded from this point Of view, the
oIganiZational superiority Of the RAJ
over the LuftWaffe is StupendouS. At
Cologne the RAF, in its first lO0O-bOmbar
raid, was organized to such a pitch OF
efficiency that it released bombs at the
rate Of 1900 tons an hour an increase of
llG0 per cent over the best the l.uftWaffe
had been able to do when attacking Brit
ain. In tt raid on the lie Crcusot works
in France this rate was raised to more
than 5000 tons AN hour. Meanwhile, we
cannot assume that the NaZiS have not
taken measures to increase their efficien-
cy But when the full allowance has been
made for the use Of heavier tyEns Of pro-
jectile, it seems clear that in the realm
Of organization. the United Nations are
rapidly progressing.
