Coarse Ends
Are Sof+ened
With Brushinq
BY DONNA GRACE

BY DONNA GRACE
Most Of Us are tired Of hear
ing that the hair must be
q brushed regularly. We are bored
with the hundred strokes a Tay
theory, even though We may cx-
pect 10 hear il repeated until
the end Of time.
Our indifference is due 10 the
fact that few of us ever make
the real test Of brushing for
hair beauty.
Some Of the smartcSt StyllStS
use a brush for all hairdrrSSing
small brushes for parting and
larger ones TO do all other ar
rangement. They have, in their
experience, found that for hair
beauty nothing compares with
regular brushing.
Only Cure
Brushing is the one and only
cure for coarse. harsh hair. The
improvement. while not imme-
date, will be noted after about
three really thorough brushingS.
We. ourselves. we're amazed
recently when We met a bust
ness acquaintance who always
impressed US as one who gave
little thought 10 grooming
Her slightly gray, brown hair
was never attractive. The coarse
ends and rough texture gave her
face a neglected look and her
clothes. though expensive, failed
TO do much for her.
When we saw her we hardly
knew her. she was so smart and
well groomed. There was no
doubt about the. improvement in
her hair being the cause of this
wonderful change. When We
commented on her good looks.
she candidly told us she had
finally learned 10 brush her hair.
The coarse ends had disap-
peared and soft waves and
pretty end curls covered her
head. Hair texture VAS smooth
and sparkling. framing her face
IN the most hattering manner.
Cleanliness
Hair and brushes. too. must
he clean or there will be little
satisfaction in brushing Coarse
ends should be lightly touched
with pomade or white vaSellne.
Do not use enough lubrication
TO leave hair greasy but con-
tlnue to brush until the natural
oil offers enough fabrication.
Brushing is even more i'm
portant now when so many are
wearing short hair. Short ends.
until trained by brushing, are
difficult 10 control but firm
bristles will soon fit them in
waves and 10 the contour of the
head. Thinning is necessary for
all heavy growths but much less
Of this regular cutting will be
required when hair smoothly fits
the head.
Daily Ritual
Stage and screen stars with
all the demands on their time
are sure 10 have their daily
hairbrushing appointment. Many
Of them do il themselves. Some
use one hand for the brush
while they read their scripts or
converse with friends.
Brilliantine sprayed on lightly
will give hair a lovely sheen
but il should be removed by
brushing the following day A
new spray can be applied when
the couture is finished.
Scalp massage will help a
great deal when brushing has
been neglected. but do GET
brush and know in advance il
will make any hair beautiful.
1t Is, however an every day job.

extend powers of the commission so as to enable 1t to regulate rates charged and services furnished by municipaIly-owned utilities in com munities outside the limits Of such municipally-owned utility"
 Control Lacking
 At the present time, the commits sion complains, it has no control over rates of utilities supplied by municipally-owned companies out side the limits of the municipality owned utility, except to prescribe accounting methods.
 The commission pointed out that the problem of regulating utility ser- vices "has become complicated by virtue of stresses and strains of a war economy. In some instances the direction of economic effort toward the war objective has in- :erfered with the maintenance of standards which would be appro- priate under normal conditions"
 Luxuries Are Out
 Tn this respect. the commission said that there seems at present little likelihood during the war period that customers will be per- mitted the luxury of additional pr5- vate telephones, extensions and other conveniences to which they have become accustomed in the past. It is the conviction of the commits sion that these inconvenience are necessary under prevailing c0ndi- tions."

promises. He declined to further discuss the situation.
 There had been speculation that Mfr. Roosevelt might announce the new manpower set-up during his press conference. This belief was based largely on the fact that in formed officials sad he had aban- doned earlier plans for shake-up in his cabinet, and on Greens com- ment.
 The officials said the President had decided against putting the pro- gram under a new secretary of la bor and that Paul V. McNutt would continue as war manpower commits sioner with some changes in his organization.
 Those changes are expected to include:
 Transfer of the Selectige Service System from the Army ts the War Manpower commission.
 A greater voice for labor in the conduct of t..e manpower program.
 Informed offic'als, re~tracing the recent off-again-on-again man. power developments, said the cabi- net shift was definitely out. Some time ago, some of the T. esident's advisers were reported to have drafted a manpower plan whereby Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes would have become manpower boss and secretary of labor; Secre- tary of Labor Frances Perkins would have become federal security ad- ministrator, and McNutt would hevc succeeded Ickes as secretary of in- terior.
 The President was understood to have submitted the plan to his CIO- AFL Labor War board early last week and they pleaded for time to study 1t. Those labor leaders had recommended appointment of Dan- iel J. Tobin, president of the AFL Teamsters Union, for the labor sec- retariat and control of the man. power program.
 Meanwhile, Ickes conferred with the President and turned down the new assignment on the ground that he did not have the physical stam- ina for 1t.
 Informed of this yesterday. the labor leaders again suggested Tobin, according to informed quarters. The President, although he has high re- gard for Tobin, expressed a prefer ence for keeping his official family intact and the labor conferees left the White House with the idea that the status quo would be maintained, with some reinforcement of Mo- Nuts authority.
 Labor circles generally conceded that their spokesmen had objected to McNutt and his past performance in handling the manpower program. The President was reported to have met th.s objection by providir : for greater labor representation in de- velopment of manpowe- policies.

However, the Axis now held Diedelda, 70 miles west of Tunls, with Allied troops ln lts western extremities.
 The Germans ueed 90 tanks and stronR force of dive bombing planes in their attack and ct the height og the battle dropped 50 pArachute troops during the night to attack Allied transport with machine guns hidden In olive groves, An Allied colonel In an arInored car drove ino the grove and blasted out one machine gun nest The rest of the paratroopers fled, apparently, Co the hills nearby.
 Tanks Lost
 The Exchange Telegraph dispatch reported that the 0ermans lost seven out of 90 tanks in an attempt Go surround the Allied forces astEide the Tebouraa- Diedelda road. The tanks were met by fire from British 2S.pounder guns, hidden in strong anti-tank defense posts, which boin. barded them for % minutes at close range after holding their fire until the last moment. The enemy tanks retired. regrouped and attacked again without success, 1t was said.
 Stockholm dispatches qoted Ber- lin military quarters as predicting that the Axis would start an offen- sive soon, taking advantage of q better supply line and air force strength.
 Axis dispatches asserted that the Allies had been forced to retreat in the West-Tupnis area and German troops had seized control of Tebour- ba railroad station, held by Amer jeans,
 Cerman-controlled Radio Paris said Axis troops had advanced be- yond Teboura after taking the town,
 The Germans claimed 9 Allied tanks destroyed in the Tebo,irba- Diedeida sector.
 [ Position Maintained
 Dispatches to Madrid from Algiers said the Allies had lost some ad- vanced posts aruund Djedeida but had maintained their position in the Mateur sector southwest of Biz erte.
 The present situation in Tunisia was regarded here as temporary. Up to e few days ago the Allies had been ahead of schedule and at one time @ week ago the fall of Tunis /, appeared near. The Axis then man. age dto land endorsements and es- pecially to get reinforcement in planes from Sicily.
 1T am afraid we have got to take 1t heavily until We get more fighter planes into action" qualified ob. server said here.
 But there was no doubt in any quarter that the difficult task of getting planes to the Allied forces would be accomplished. The Ger mans were now trying hard to main tain a bridgehead in northeastern Tunisia which would permit them to retain control of the Mediter- ranean sea lane. The Allies com mand had expected fight and seemed prepared to put all the force necessary into 1t.
