Even in appearance. Lincoln
lacked the specified blue eyed
blondneSs of the Nazi Kulture

self written biography of him
self, Lincoln wrote in part as
follows:
Il am in height six feet four
inches, nearly lean in flesh
weighing, on an average, one
hundred an deighty pounds,
dark complexion with coarse
black hair and gray eyes, No

Lincoln did just the opposite
to what Hitler is doing! Unlike
the great Moses, Lincoln fought
for people not even of his own
race and was willing, purely in
a kindly way, to return them to
their old country.

Finds Lemon
Juice Good For
Rheumatic Misery

The Alle-Rhume Company,
makers Of Allenru for rheumat-
ic pains, have found that lemon
juice added to the Allenru pre-
scription works wonders for
folks with the horrible pains and
misery of rheumatism, lumbago
and neuritis.
AlIenru, IS year old remedy
has given remarkable results by
itself, but it is found that the
addition Of one teaspoonful OF
lemon juice mixed with two
tablespoonful of Allenru gives
much speedier relief.
This home recipe was first adj
vertised in Norfolk, Virginia,
with such good results that 9th
er leading papers, including this
paper, are being considered to
carry this important message to
sufferers.

easier to add rouge than to take 1t
off. IL your rouge looks splotchy,
remove it with cold cream and start
over again. Be sure to blend 1t ont
at the edges so you can't tell where
it begins or ends.
Now for your lipstick. Don't Use
your lipstick to paint new mouth
on your face. This is all right for
the stage or screen, but is too arti-
fetal for everyday life. Changing
the natural line of your mouth
changes your expression some
times disastrously. However, II
you think your mouth is a little too
full, concentrate most of the lip
stick on the center of your lips,
letting it fade out lightly to the
edges. This viii make them seem
less full. If your lips are on the
thin side, apply your lipstick evenly
over the whole surface. Don't make
the mistake of running the lipstick
out over the natural line. This can
always be detected and looks worse
than thin lips.
Some women prefer applying lip
stick directly from the stick, others
with a lipstlck brush. You can
probably get sharper, cleaner line
to your lips with a brush--it's worth
trying anyway il you haven't used
one. If you use the stick, start at
the outer corners of your mouth
and work in toward the center.
II you use a brush, outline the
edges of the lips first and then fill
in. When you have finished, be
sure to blot off the surplus lipstick
with tissue.
Always remember that makeup OF
any kind is not beautiful In itself.
Its real purpose is to supplement
your natural charm. You hear men
say every day that they don't like
rouge and lipstick. The truth Is
they do like it when it makes you
more attractive. The thing they
don't like is being made too con-
scious of the fact that you are wear
ing it.

Little Appreciated

For it goes without saying
that Abe Lincoln'S sacrifice il
little appreciated by many who
have never forgiven him for
freeing the Colored man. Mr..
Hitler is foremost among these
haterS. Disciples of Mr.. Hitler
have never allowed Lincoln's
Birthday to become a national
holiday. Some have even tried
to poison the minds of Colored
against Lincoln.
Lincoln never freed the
slaves" is a common saying
among a few ultra ayran-edu-
Gated Colored folk who are too
naughty an dproud to have
been helped by anybody. They
never even heard of Robert
Gould Shaw.

There's a lot Of truth in the old
saying, There's nothing new under
the sun" This certainly applies to
the use of cosmetics. Explorers
delving into the tombs of the ancient
Egyptians have found evidence to
prove that even the sirens Of the
Nile knew plenty about the art Of
makeup.
Although the materials used have
changed greatly since that time, we
should never forget that the prim-
airy purpose Of cosmetics is still the
same-it's the enhancing Of natural
beauty. Remember that word ina
turap when you use rouge and lip
stick. They may be your best
friends or your worst enemies-it
all depends on how you apply them.
Many women make the mistake OF
thinking that the more rouge and
lipstick they have on their faces, the
better and younger they look. They
are quite wrong about that. Too
much makeup hardens the express
sion and produces an aged, hard
look.
II you think Of rouge merely as
a way to add color to your face,
YOU are overlooking it's most impor-
tant advantage. With correct ap-
plication Of rouge you can create
the Illusion of improving the shape
Of your face. Let me explain this
point with some general rules for
applying rouge.
LII your face is broad, bring
your rouge in close to your nose to
make IL seem thinner.
2.-If you have thin face, keep
your rouge back on your cheeks
and away from your nose. This
will make your face seem broader.
3.-To make a long face seem
shorter, keep the rouge high on
your cheeks.
4.-TO make short face seem
longer, bring the rouge down low
on your cheeks.
5.-If you have long, sharp or
pointed chins, apply rouge to make
them seem less prominent.
When applying rouge. go lightly
at first, because badly applied
rouge is worse than no rouge at all.
Don't daub it all on at one time. Do
one cheek, then the other, adding
more rouge as necessary, building
UP the color until both cheeks
match in tone. Remember--it is

Here's How TO Keep
That Car Runninu

What effect will the war have on
motorists OF America?
It has been freely predicted that,
inside year, half of this country's
27,500, GOO passenger cars will be off
the road-laid up for the duration.
Is this literally true, or is it just
guessWork?
Most every motorist is determin-
ed. says L. w. Sackerson, Mobil
service station supervisor in this
area, that his own car will NOT
be one of those laid up. He knows
that automobiles were built to oper-
ate indefinitely. He knows that
there are many 10, 20 and even 20
year-old cars still in good mechan-
ical condition. and still serving their
owners on the highways.
"Tcday's uppermoSt problem is
tires. A large majority will lick this
one by driving at moderate speeds,
keeping the tires well inflated, and
having them frequently inspee ted
ana cross-switched, thus adding 6
months or a year to the normal
life of rubber which is SO import
ant to them.
One of the next problems to
arise will be that Of parts replace
ments. Some method of handling
this will probably be devised. How
ever, the best way to protect your
self from the necessity of finding
parts for your car is to protect
those parts with adequate and cor
rect fabrication, making essential
changes CT oil and grease at the
mileage periods specified on the
Nobil X-ray Chart.

1T is because of these and other
painstaking experiments says H. G.
Grimsley, southern California man
ager of the Mobilgas-M obiloil mar
keting organization, that tire en-
gineers have developed definite and
fairly accurate rules for saving es-
sential rubber.
These engineers are not guessing.
They know what they are talking
about when they say you may ex-
pect 33 per cent less tire mileage
when you drive SO miles an hour
instead of 80 miles an hour And
they are very close to accuracy
when they declare that misalign-
ment of front wheels or underinfla-
ton may cost you 20 to 80 per cent
of a tires life.
These engineers also declare that
at 20 miles an hour a tire of good
make may be expected to last at
least $4,000 miles, while at SIS miles
an hour it becomes a 16,500-mile
tire. For the benefit of truck own
ers. in particular, they have deduc-
ed that a load of 80 per cent less
than normal will also double tire
mileage"

Sweepings From Highways Give Clue
Tire Wear--It's Too Much Speed

By sweeping ground-off rubber
from the highways, separating it
from other debris and weighing it,

showing what reduces tire mileage.
One of these vitality
interesting to motorists in these
days when no new tires are avail
able-reVealed that the ground-off
rubber on high speed highways is
20 to 40 per cent greater than OH
low-speed stretches of the roadway
Another test showed that the
