Eyebrows
Make or Mar Face

BY Josephine Lowman
Eyebrows can make great
difference in the beauty and eX-
preston of a face. They frame
the eyes and set them off and
give character to the whole. If
they are nondescript even lovely
eyes lose some of their charm,
and if the eyes are small. attrac-
tive lashes and broWs make them
look larger.
Straggly brows are ugly any
way because they give the ap-
pearance of poor grooming. If
the stray hairs are plucked so
that the line of brow is clear the
brows look much thicker. Thank
goodness the vogue for the very
thin brow has gone. They al
ways were a poor substitute for
the real thing. The heavier brow
Is now in vogue and its line
should follow as nearly as pos
sible the line of the eye socket.
If brows extend too far in across
the bridge of the nose or too
far out at the outer end the
hairs In these spots can be
plucked.
Much can be done with unruly
brows. They respond to training
and brushing just as the hair
does. Use a little brush on them
daily. Also apply vaseline. This
keeps the hairs in line and helps
train them to beautiful proper
tons. Naturally, vaseline must
be used with great delicacy.
II the broWs are very light use

slanting strokes. When you
brush the eyebrows, first brush
them up. and then down, at the
upper line. Sometimes falling
brows and lashes may be evil

OUTSTRIPPING SOUND
Christian Science Monitor

When 1t Col Cass Hough looks to see
who's that he hears coming on behind
him, he probably smiles at his own for
getfulness and remarks: "Why, of
course, that's just me- Colonel Hough
has been given the Flying Cross for div
ing, some months ago. at speeds of more
than 7S0 miles an hour.
This is faster than sound travels. 1t
is conceivable that Colonel Hough. if
he wasn't too busy watching out where
he was going, might have heard the
sound his engines made at $4,000 feet
overtaking him five miles down when he
pulled out of the dive.
Colonel Hough is technical director
of the United States Eighth Fighter
command in England. He wanted to
know more about the powers of resist
ance in the human makeup. Diving, and
especially pulling out of a dive, places
a tremendous strain on the body. Today
it is often human rather than mechanical
limitations that must be considered as
advances in aircraft construction are
contemplated: His feat is now reported
as inspiring study of new possibilities in
aviation.
Colonel Hough has helped push the
frontier of the air world considerably
onward. He has shown. as so many men
of staunch character have before, that
human capabilities are as yet far from
realized by their possessors. One OBJ
stacle to this realization is fear. Colonel
Hough put fear behind him when he

From time to time somebody
mentions petroleum shortage-not

aviation gasoline arising from re-
finery inadeouacies, and not mere
" q shortage on the eastern sea
board attributable to transporta-
ional difficulties, but an absolute,
overall deficiency in crude petrol

To the layman this seems peculiar.
He knows that oil wells still are
operating far below capacity. under
quota restrictions which are rigidly
imposed from Washington. II there
is a shortage, why don't they take
the caps off the wells and let the
oil gush forth?
The answer, given by petroleum
expertS. indicates that the shortage
is an artificial matter which prob
ably can be remedied quite quickly,
at any time we choose. but which
nevertheless is likel1 to result III
irrecoverable waste of one of our

A JITTERBUG RIOT
San Diego Union


Most of us would prefer to look the
other way and pretend it happened some
where else but when 5000 teen-age girls

free-f or-all in their frantic efforts to see
a young man described as being the idol
of the jitterbugs," we cannot ignore the
fact that we haven't progressed so very
far, after all, from the foolishness of the
"roaring Twenties.''
Yet, all this happened in Pasadena
yesterday when frankie Sinatra arrived
from wherever he had been. And who is
frankie Sinatra? He is a singer, if one
wants to be charitable and call that cross
between moan and howl, which seems
to have such an emotional effect upon
the jitterbugs, singing. And what is a
jitterbug? A jitterbug is an otherwise
normal appearing, teen-age youth, who
may remain completely inert until the
hep cats getinto the groove and produce
that odd assortment of bedams known as
a swing band in full cry. Add to this the
answering wall of a jive howler and
curious change comes over the jitterbug
His, or her, eyes become CLASSY, accom-
panied by twitching shoulders. As the
tempo increases the whole body of the
jitterbug becomes affected and the gath

DON 7 SELL THE
ITALIANS SHORT

Don't sell the new Italian government
short
Since Benito Mussolini was ousted
from the head of the Italian state and
Fascisp was abandoned, the government
of Marshal Pietro Badoglio has been
under constant pressure of peace OF
fensive-from without and from within.
The Allies have called for complete
and unconditional surrender and the
mounting cries of the Italian people have
been heard, begging their leader to take
them out of the cataclysm of war where
they had been led.
Through all of this Badoglio has main
tanned a steadfast course of apparently
continuing the war. His soldiers have
remained on the battlefield and the
cities of Italy have again been brought
under a rain of destruction from Allied
bombers.
Many observers have laid his apparent
refusal to take the country out of the
war to fear Of Germany.
Yet it is our opinion that when the
time is right Badoglio will order res
istance to cease and will allow his nation
to become a base for operations against
the Reich
We base this conclusion upon steady
trickle of rumorS, stories and tldbltS of
information which comes over the news
wires.
Badoglio is doing his best to maneuver
his country out of frying pan and
fire. situation.
Thousands of Italian troops still re-
main on the battlefields of Russia and
in Greece, Albania and other axis-sub-
jugated countries.
Germany has threatened to come into
northern Italy before the Allies arrive
if Badoglio quits the war.

WE
the Women
By RUTH MILLETT

The uneven distribution of men
caused by the war, is creating two
types of problems for girls.
There are the lone girls left
living in towns where young,
eligible men are rare enough so
that the appearance of man at a
party causes a near-panic.
Those girls have to try to make
the best of practically dateless
existence, getting all their excite
ment from writing to Johnny or
Jimmy and hoping against hope
that he'll come back and marry
them.
Then there are the girls, like the
Red Cross workers abroad, who get
so much masculine attention and
flattery that it is hard to handle
it all
One woman who has had an i'm
portant job in the Red Cross Or
ganization in England, now back
home on leave, says in summing
up the qualifications for girls who
want TO do Red Cross work:
"A girl must be able to work with
men and not have her head turned.
She may have her meals regularly
with hundreds of soldiers and she
must not be over-impressed by the
good = natured flattery that is
bound to come her way"
At first glance having too much
attention may not seem like much
of a problem to the girl who has
far too little But the problem is
one for the future. Any girl who
has been flattered and sought after
by hundreds of men is bound to
find life pretty humdrum and flat
when she goes back to normal
living.
Settling down with one man. who
without doubt won't be admiring
all the time is certain to be a
terrible let-down.
Imperial Valley press., 1943-08-15
RIDING THE FENCE

BY one means or another Badoglio
has been endeavoring to bring troops
home. But it is a ticklish situation.
The Nazis demand that the Italians
stay with them to plug the holes in the
crumbling defenses opened by the surg
ing Red offensive. They also demand
that the Italians stay in the occupied
zones to do police duty while the crack
Nazi troops are sent to the battle lines.
Many Italian workers are in Germany
If Badoglio were to suddenly call off
the war they and all the Italian troops
would merely become prisoners and be
kept in the Reich to produce weapons
to be used against us.
So the Italian executive appointed by
King Victor Emmanuel is precariously
riding the fence.
1t will be his policy to continue juggl-
ing until he is in position to lay down
his arms.
Every day come tales of the trial of
some Fascist criminal or the cutting off
of supplies being sent to Germany, all
of which convinces us that Badoglio is
preparing the way for withdrawal.
Eventually. we believe that Badoglio
will have at least some measure of sue
cess in rounding UP his far-flung men.
Then he will invite our forces to come
in.
But if he waits too long, our forces
will be there ANYWAY.
