How TO Keep
Hands Soft
And Lovely
BY DONNA GRACE

GIRLS SHOULD never find il
necessary 10 apologize for their
hands. Occasionally we hear.
You must excuse my hands,
they are so rough and coarse"
Their excuse is usually extra
housework, moving or spring
cleaning
But instead OF having TO apol-
ogize, they should have used
simple precautions 10 prevent
running their hands.
We all know II IL nuisance
10 bother with gloves when do
ing homework but If we are
going 10 prevent course. rough
hands it will be necessary 10
keep the gloves where they can
be slipped on for all tasks.
Destructive
Strong soaps are destructive
for all skin and even mild soap
and water will swell and redden
hands after from Is minutes 10
a half hour of submersion.
Some skins do withstand this
abuse for a while but even this
healthy type and all dry skin
will eventually show the marks
of neglect.
When hands are thin and skin
dry. one will have 10 massage
and Intricate hands after using
soap and water. Hand lotions
are not expensive and it takes
only light application 10 Soothe
skin from the slight irritation Of
soap and water. Even the very
best soap should be used law
lShly and then removed imme-
diately with clear water.
Wear Gloves
Fabric gloves should be worn
for all busting and other house.
work. Many women prefer the
large. cheap cotton gloves work.
men use. They are thick enough
for protection and the fabric VIII

When hands and nails have
been neglected. use a generous
application for your night mas
sage. This can be removed with
tissue but leave as much as pos
Nible around nails and on

Don't wear rubber gloves at
night nor even for long during
the day. Remove them from
time TO time so the hands Will

Spiritual Mental Needs
Yes, Uncle Sam provides we'll for
the physical and material needs of
his soldiers, both white and black;
but he has much to do to provide
adequately for the spiritual and
mental and social welfare of the
Negro soldier, as well as the Ne
gro in civilian life. And my Uncle
Sam las dear as he isl can not do
that with a continued policy of
"separateness," which is not only
expensive, but undemocratic and
demoralizing.

Some Resentment Among Men
I think this expression to me by
Private Roscoe Williams is typical
of the feeling of most of the Negro
soldiers in the camp. Private Will

great benefits from army life and
that he appreciates what has been
done to him physically. But there
is another side to the story as indi-

For in my dreams you'll find a way
To help inspire me.
Through toiling Blitz, and Smelling

I'll find my way to you.

National Anthem Wasn't
Used for Many Years

Did you know that Samuel Fran
els Smith, author of America"
wrote that famous national song for
no particular reason and that the
manuscript remained unused in his
portfolio until it was sung at a Bos-
ton Sunday school celebration?
THE exercises of that event were
on the Fourth of July, 1884," says
Charles Goodspeed, noted rare book
dealer, in his fascinating reminis-
cences, Yankee Bookseller" THE
words Of Smiths poem which in
cluded a fifth Stanza (the third in
order) were first printed on a sheet
for use at the meeting" explains
Mr.. GoodSpeed
Only six known copies of this
sheet, the first printing of Amer
ica," have turned up so far and, of
course, they are very valuable.
1T is odd that we should have
three national songs" adds Mr..
Goodspeed The Star Spangled
Banner is carelessly spoken of as
our national anthem Not even the
congress of the United States can,
in correct usage of the word, make
an anthem out of it. 1t is, in fact
a martial ode to the flag. Smiths
America and America the Beau
tifur by Katharine Lee Bates are
hymns, each appropriate to its &C.
casion; America is suited for gath
eringS where patriotism is combined
with religious and ancestral feeling,
while Miss Bates beautiful lines,
more modern in sentiment, are ex-
pressive of a national spiritual
unity. The Star Spangled Banner
is formal, official, war-inspired."

Hello Folks:

Hello Folks:
Believe it or not, fishing trips
are sorta holding the limelight
round the two towns these days
not only among the adults but the
younger set, too. Don't know
whether it's the effect of the war
we're in or not, but some members
of the younger set are taking to
slower and more serious recrea-
tions. Don't get me entirely wrong,
though-'cause the "jitterers" are
still "tearin' out" at Kings Valley
every week. Last week the Postal
Employees of the Twin Cities gave
a picnic out at Kings Valley and
Ny Girl Tuesday says that many of
our well-known "oldsters" and

know who was his queen for the
evening but there seemed to be a
number of "ladies in waiting"
hanging on him. =. DIR. JAMES
MlREE was having a fine time re-
newing old acquaintance. Hes
on his way back to Washington,
D. c., by this time.) MARY
and CHUBBY BRADY were
looking as devoted as ever. g.
Heard that NINA SALTERS was
busy as can be helping to tear up
table cloths for hubby, Edwin,
who sprained his ankle while play
ing baseball. The charming
TELA BURTS were here, there,
and everywhere, havin' a ball. -.
GRACE BRYANT was kept quite
occupied, what with showing her
tiny tots round the grounds. -.
JOHNNY WALTON and MAR
JORlE RUE were a days two
some. . And BILLY STEPHENS
had an eye on GRACE HENDER-
SON for the evening. PERCY
HUGES and LOUISE NEAL were
giving the Glitter pieces" a try on
the dance floor.
LAUGH OF THE WEEK:
know you've heard about that
certain Twin City sheik who thinks
the sun rises and sets on every
thing he does. Well, last week he
got kinda high at one of the popu-
lar night spots and was carving
on to beat the band. At the same
time, it seems as if he was trying
his best to impress a certain CLASSY
Iassle as to what a sophisticated
fellow he is. Right in the middle
OF his clownish acts (when all eyes
were on him)-of all things, his
false teeth (the upper plate)
slipped and just about fell out. q
mean the Twin Citians are really
razzing him, especially now that
they know about the upper plate.)
MISCELLANEOUS JOTTNGS:
Sorry to hear that SGT. HENRY
BOWMAN, who is stationed at
Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, was
i'll last week with pneumonia.
Heard he's getting along pretty
well now, though. JIMMY

week visiting their cousin, ALICE

Pacific

Capt. Francis Folk, down on a

wants his wife in Findly to send him

either if she would tuck in a few

Gasoline, according to the captain,
is rs cents gallon, so he bought
himself a horse. And not long ago,
on a Sunday morning canter, the
horse made him walk home! Capt.
Folk had been jogging along for
about five miles when the horse
just laid down. He thought that
Whitley was dying, but, it developed,
the brute was just tired-so the
captain took his morning exercise in
five-mile hike to his quarters.

Good Record In Tax
Collection

Putnam county real estate owners
paid a total of s19b b,92o.75 into the
county treasury during the collection
of real property taxes for the last
half of 1941.
County Treasurer Arnold Lauer
reported that all books have been
closed and the settlement is being
prepared by County Auditor Carl
Frick for approval by the state tax
authorities. This collection together
with the s213,600.46 paid during the
first half collection brought the total
taxes paid on the 1941 duplicate to
s409, 9,521.21.
This was nearly 100 per cent
collection on the current duplicate.
