Plea for Elaboration
OF Atlantic Charter
Broadcast bySmuts
Guarantee of Healthy
Postwar Life Urged
By South African
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Oct. 31-Field Mar
shall Jan Christian Smuts, Prime
Minister of South Africa, in an
international broadcast tonight
called for elaboration of the At
lantic Charter in "the economic
and social sphere to guarantee
a postwar healthy interna-
tional life"
"It is our duty to prepare for
peace, a peace which could grow
organically from the united will of
the United Nations" Marshal
Smuts said
The League of Nations as 1t
was founded in 1918 could not bring
us this peace" he said. Our pres
ent intentions may be less theoret-
ical and even seem less far-reach-
ing but the common effort of the
United Nations shows the way along
which-also in peacetime-practical
work in every sphere can thrive to
the benefit Of all peace-loving
peoples"
Dawn of Victory Seen.
Allied victory, Marshal Smuts as
sured his audience, slowly but no
less surely is beginning to dawn on
the horizon"
He told the peoples of the Meth
erlands and Belgium that "the Ger
mans sole reason for bringing about
the economic decay of your coun-
tries was to enable the enemy to
deport large parts of the popula-
tion to eastern Europe"
Describing himself as an "Afrikan-
der with Dutch blood in my veins"
he asserted that "as far as the Meth
erlands and Belgium are concerned,
have no doubt that their indepen-
dent existence will be guaranteed
after the war by the close cooper
alton of the United Nations, of which
I have seen striking examples in
London"
Sympathy fOr Oppressed Voiced.
Marshal Smuts voiced sympathy
for the suffering peoples in enemy
occupied countries and exhorted
them ito bear in mind, however,
that each privation you are under
going is bringing us step nearer
victory"
Remember" he said, that re-
lentless rejection of all that the Ger
man and japanese oppressors per-
suade you to accept and that abso-
lutte contempt for everything tainted
and contaminated by the enemy is
your grand contribution toward the
struggle we daily wage with weapons
daily increasing in strength

Dorothy Dix Says go
Girls Who Live Near Army Camps
Not Necessarily Predatory

that the girls back home are the
most frequent topic of conversation
at the U. S. o. dances and we are
in there roofing for you. But let
me give you tip: Just any girl
doesn't look good to an Army man
because that uniform does some
thing to him. 1t changes his sense
of value to a higher standard. So
instead of spending your time get
ting green-eyed about some faraway
girl get busy improving your looks
and your mind and your disposition
so that you will be the girl of his
dreams when Johnny comes marchs
ing home.
Incidentally-and this is the voice
of experience speaking-the best
way to keep your boy friend always
thinking of you is the correspond
ence method. In Army camps there
is a continual wall over there not
being enough letters from home,
so write, write, write. Make your
letters gay and cheerful.
They say the American way is
the sporting way. We know you
are American to the core, so why
not take your boy friends absence
with your chin up, instead of let
ting 1t get you down2 If he really
loves you you can't lose. If he
strays of after every pretty face
let him go without a whimper and
hope for better luck next time. That
is the way we are trying to do and
don't think of us as your enemies.
We are your friends.-A BUNCH
OF OTHER HOMETOWN GIRLS.
Answer-This letter, written by
girl who lives near a great Army
camp and who knits for the soldiers
as well as dances with them, should
comfort many girl who lies awake
at night wondering if her Johnny
is looking into some other girls
eyes with the expression that dev-
astated her own heart. Probably
he isn't. In fact. the chances are
that he is boring the other girl stiff
telling her all about how cute his
girl back home is. And if he isn't,
well, one Of the blessings of war is
that it weeds out the philanderers
and saves a girl a trip to Reno.

| |WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lopman

There has been much controversy
about whether lubricating cream
should be left on overnight. or for
several hours, or If Is minutes will
do the work as efficiently as a longer
period.
One New York chemist explains
1t this way; He says thai every
cream has it's own melting point.
Some reach the melting point sooner
than others. If the cream YOU are
using is slow to melt, then it takes
longer for it to penetrate your skin
and benefit you. You can Judge this
for yourself by the way your skin
reacts TO short or long periods of
cream soaking.
One cream has been developed
which melts very quickly and disap-
pears into the skin within a few
minutes time This is boon to the
woman who has very dry skin but
wishes to avoid looking like a treat
ment for Sunburn while sleeping.
Sleeping with most creams on is
unsatisfactory. 1t gets grease on
the pillowcase and on your hair, and
your husband may carry about the
most unflattering pictures of you in
his Subconscious mind
Most women need creams and far
too many Of them age prematurely
because they do not realize this. If
you hope TO avoid lines and that
yellow, faded look, YOU must re-
place oils that leave the skin as the
years pile up and wind and sun get
in their lickS.
Unless your skin is very oily you
should solve the cream problem.
Brunets are likely to have more oil
in their skin than blonds. Fair
skins are usually thinner and dryer.

WeddingRing
Can Be Worn
By a Man
Is Usually Placed
On Little Finger
In This Country
Rv Emily Post

The question of whether a man
may wear a wedding ring in this
present day, and If so, whether
he should wear it on his third finger
because that is the wedding finger"
or whether he may wear 1t on his
little finger. has been often asked
me lately. The answer is decidedly
yes" to the propriety of his wearing
wedding ring, but no" from the
American standpoint of best taste
to his wearing 1t on his third finger
Continental Europeans wear their
wedding ring on their third finger,
but the English and Americans
when they wear them at all-prefer
the little finger.
Let me add, by the way. that any
ring may serve as the wedding ring
of the bridegroom. l can't make a
definite statement that this is per-
mitted in every church of every de-
nomination, but I know of at least
a score of men whose seal rings are
actually wedding rings-put on their
fingers in double ring ceremonies.
Dear Mrs. Post: When eating in
a restaurant, and having the mis-
fortune of dropping piece Of silver
from the table, or napkin sliding
to the floor, does one rescue the
item himself or leave 1t?
Misfortune" Is much too
strong a word for a sliding napkin
OR even for a fork unless the latter
had food on 1t which smeared some
ones clothes. If waiter or wait
ress is near you, say, Il dropped my
fork: will you get me another,
please?" Or If you have an extra
one you use that and pay no atten-
ton. If it's your napkin. you prob
ably reach down. take hold of its
edge and draw it up to your lap.
A napkin has a way of sliding of
and not lying completely fat on the
floor. Even so, 1t is proper to put
your napkin back upon your lap,
but you are not supposed to eat from
a fork or a spoon or any other table
implement that has fallen on the
floor.
On the other hand, II there is no
waiter within speaking distance to
bring you fresh one and you have
no other, you pick it up yourself,
and wipe 1t off with piece of bread
and continue eating. II it is a fresh
one you'd wipe it on your napkin
and eat with it.
Emily Posts booklet, The Eth
quette of Weddings" will answer
all the questions about the cere-
mony and the reception that
you have been asking yourself.
Send for il, inclosing 10 cents in
coins and a Scent stamp to cover
postage and handling. Address
letter TO Emily Post, in care Of

Clever Child
Needs New
Interest
May Lose Ambition
If Restricted to
Average Work
By Letfice Lee Street,

Recently an understanding moth
er who is keenly interested in help
ing her children to the best of her
ability said to me, Il am really
sorry that my Bobby is so bright at
school,"
There Is much good sense to this
statement. At least, I think so, be-
cause children with very high in
telligence quotients frequently find
1t hard to adjust themselves to their
home. school and social lives. The
reason for this is that their ex-
traordinary insight and reasoning
powers, together with their almost
adult brains, often make them chafe
against restrictions imposed on the
average child. They are likely to
rebel against Illogical requests and
actions that in truth insult their
intelligence. Further, they are irked
and even made lazy and bored by
the weary waiting in class for the
other pupils to struggle through
what was, for them, an easy prob
lem.
One such gifted little girl gave
her mother and father the first
hint of her high ability when she
rather disconsolately asked at
breakfast one morning, "Mummie,
may I take my knitting to school?
I've finished reading my classbooks
and all the ones in the library that
interest me, too. I really haven't
anything to do while I'm waiting
for the other kids to finish their
lessons"
An immediate session with the
teacher and principal of the school
followed and proved that the child
was correct. A special schedule of
work and reading was planned for
her, and she was therefore much
happier.
One problem of bringing up the
bright child is how to protect him
from the jealous antagonism of his
playmates. This Is sometimes diff
cult, and 1t means so much to him
If this hazard is recognized and
overcome by the grownups who
guide and protect him.
Therefore, the added interests and
work such a child Graves should be
almost stealthily provided so that
he will not be hurt by seeming
queer" or teachers pet" in the
eyes of his classmates.

1t would take little longer to estab-'
liSh them.
AS you know, the rulings are the
result of very careful study and sur
vey by leading authorities. They
haven't put us into sarongs or
mother hubbards, All they've said
is that we can't have such things as
leg o. mutton sleeves and patch
pockets-no great tragedy there.
Our sleeves may be long, but not
voluminous, our skirts pleated. but
not all the way around; we'll have
jackets, but they won't be sold with
the dress; you'll own topcoat. but
instead of matching your fancy
checked suit, it will be something
that you can wear with any number
of suits and dresseS-so far. so good.
When we go into the stores to
shop for fall fashions. we'll have
the same array of smartly styled
garments that we've always had. and
If the order hadn't received such a
lot Of attention, we probably
wouldn't give the lack of a double
fabric dress yoke a second thought.
The clothes we now are wearing
please us very well-and don't tell
us that 1t isn't a relief to know that
dresses won't suddenly drop to our
anklesl
AS for the designers. at the risk
of alternating a great many of them
who are personal friends, We think
they're dramatizing Just bit. This
order has in no way hampered their
freedom as far as originality is con-
cerned, and we just happen to think
that American designers are too
smart to be stopped dead in their
tracks because they can't put on a
bolero jacket on q dress. When they
make great statements about "limi-
tations stirring imagination and in
genuity" they're just saying in a
fiossy way that they'll go right on
turning out clothes that only an
expert will be able to detect from
the styles we now are wearing.
Most of the designers have given
their approval to the ruling-as
well they might, for it certainly is
far from drastic.
ASS matter Of fact. instead Of
getting excited abort the new order
and instead of roaring out immedi-
ately to stock up on clothing. we
think women are going to enjoy the
new restrictions. They know that
this move is designed to save at
least 100000 900 yards Of fabric
hence it's patriotic idea and wom-
en- certainly will welcome another
means of showing their willingness
to sacrifice in wartime. If, indeed,
you can call slim, well cut, "un-
frilly" clothes a sacrifice.
Right now you can sit back and
relax, because you won't see much
evidence of the new trends until
fall. Restrictions on wool garments
already have gone into effect so
that they will apply to fall and win
ter stocks; cotton and rayon regu-
lations begin on June 10 for manu-
facturers, after production of sum-
mer clothing Is completed; stores
will begin to display Revolutionary"
togs after August IT. And you'll be
just as happy in these patriotic
styles as you are in your present
wardrobe, we betcha.

Dear Miss Dix: Recently you
published a letter from group Of
hometown girls in which they ex-
pressed fear that their boy friends
would be stolen from them by the
pretty girls they would meet in
their soldering. They seemed TO
have gotten quite jittery over the
parties and attentions that we're
paid to the draftees, and to think
that their steadies were in more
danger of being captured by preda-
tory ladies than they were by Ger
mans or Japs and they made a
heartfelt appeal to those of us who
live near training camps to keep
hands off of their property. Let
me set these sisters minds at rest.
We girls who happen to be Sally
on-the-spot and who have answered
the Governments plea to try to
entertain the soldiers in our midst
and make camp life less dreary,
are not band of man-hunters. We
are Just bunch of hometown girls
like yourselves. Our Johnnies and
Joes are off in camp, too, and our
hearts are no less heavy than yours.
We are in there pitching (and I
don't mean WOOL to keep our boys
away from the so-called slums of
a big city, and we would be very
grateful if you would do the same
for US We aren't afraid you will
take them away from us, not be-
cause We doubt your charms in the
least, for we have heard quite a
bit about them from your own local
draftees who have assured us that
the prettiest and the sweetest and
the most wonderful girls in the
world live in Maine, or California,
or Wisconsin, or wherever the lad
halls from.
But this is how we figure. If a
man will succumb to just any pretty
face that comes along. or be trapped
by any girl with slick line, he isn't
worth getting gray hairs about. In
other words, if 1t is true love it will
stand any test, and if it is phony
a girl is lucky TO find 1t out on the
safe side of the altar.
And it may comfort you to know
