Don't Force Curls
In Chldren's Hair
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Service Stan Writer

When your four-year-old or six
year-old daughters hair seems To
"turn" straight-better find her a
new hairdo instead of trying to coax
the natural curl back to life.
What actually, happens to the
youngsters tresses Is this: the nat
ural wave is still there, but the
locks have grown long and heavy
enough to pull out" the wave.
Therefore, It suddenly seems
straight. This happens when the
natural wave Is slight.
You can reverse the process
with this type Of hair: II slightly
wavy hair is cut shorter, or made
lighter, 1t will seem to turn"
curly. Maybe your child with a
dropping, natural, but slight wave
will have lovely fluffy look If
you simply find her a becoming
version Of the popular new short
cut.
Or you might adopt a frankly
uncurled style Of hairdo - for in
stance, braids. These can be
tucked up fetchingly for party.
Most successful small belle I've
seen lately had braids upped over
the crown Of her head, coronet
fashion, and pair Of pompons
matching her frock. The pompons
were placed together just above
one temple.
Hair curliness is settled before
the hair grows out on the scalp.

Nor is It an excuse for those who
take your money to act as though
they are doing you great favor.
Yet, people who never did their
Jobs any better than they had to
and who never bothered to be con-
siderate, courteous, and obliging If
they could get by with being high
handed and indifferent, ask us to
believe that the war Is to blame
for their shortcomings.
There Is danger In that attitude.
For now more than ever 1t is eS-
sential for everyone to do his work
to the best Of his ability.
It is also essential, with so many
people being over-worked and over
worried, that courtesy and consider

Teaching Of Law Urged
To Cut Juvenile Crimes

the District Public School Asso-
citation today was on record as
favoring the teaching of criminal
and traffic laws in public schools in
order to reduce juvenile delinquency
The resolution which was pre-
aellted by Charles M. Pidgeon, treas
urer of the association, at the groups
meeting last night in the District
Building, also recommended that a
book, formulation for Good Citi-
zensllip," written by Judge Vincent
A, Osterman of the Prince Georges
County Orphans Court, be used for
such a purpose.
Declaring that there has been an
alarming" increase in crime caused
by juveniles, the association asserted
that the apparent lack Of proper
basic training in the fundamentals
of good citizenship is primarily re-
sponsible for many cases of juvenile
delinquency.
Judge Osterman, who spoke at
the meeting, said that in his
opinion, children would obey the
law if they were taught the differ
ence between right and wrong in a
legal way"
In opposing the use of Juvenile
Court as correctional measure,
Judge Osterman described such a
court as criminal incubator" He
added that once a child is brought
into Juvinile Court, he is branded"
q criminal.

nazi-Fascist Defeat
Vital, Camacho Says

~ the Associated Press.
MENCO CITY, Nov. 20.-Presi-
dent Manuel Avila Camacho, speak
ing on Z program commemorating
the SD anniversary Of the Mexican
revolution, declared "our revolution
continues" and added that "for this
reason the defeat of the Nazi-Fas-
cists also will be our victory"
In his address last night before q
meeting sponsored by the National
Peasants Union. he linked Mexico's
present war aims to those of the
Mexican revolution.
His county, he said, declared war
"in order that men might be free to
think, believe and desire 80 in or
der that servitude imposed by ty-
rants may be substituted by an in
dependence founded upon concord
and right"
Those, exactly, were the ideals
for which the heroes Of our revolu-
ton fought" he added.
The Mexican Revolution, led by
Francisco I. Madero, resulted in the
overthrow of Porfirio Diaz.
Before last nights address, Presi-
dent Avila Camacho was handed a
"symbolical fire" In the form OF 4
giant torch representing the unity
OF the nation. 1t was formed by
combining torches brought by run
ners from each Of the 81 states and
territories and the federal district.
