 IApstick will do a lot for the looks of your mouth and for your spirits any doubt about that should De dissolved by the universal agreement with which women and government officials and cosmetics specialists name lpstick the No. l wartime beauty aid.
 However, your mouth deserves lipstick and then some, especially if bad habits have given you those down-sloping lines from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth, or from the corners of the mouth downward. These lines are interpreted as scowling lines, even though they actually may result from frowning and grimacing not in anger or irritation at people around you, but in an effort to ac. complish any physical or mental task.
 Try to check such habits. And re-. peat these exercises 10 times when you have night cream on your face:
 Keeping lips tightly together, lift the corners of the mouth as if you were grinning exaggeratedly. You should be able to feel the corners of your mouth pushing up against your cheeks. Relax and repeat.
 Now bend your foreflngers and use the sides of them with the cushions of your thumbs to pinch the corners of the mouth gently up- ward. Continue this gentle, stimulat- ing lifting upward from the mouth corners to the temples Repeat, then remove face cream.
 Free of lines, almost any mouth can be made to look lovely by clever use of lipstick. You shouldn't try to change the shape greatly-you need not. You can narrow a too-full lower lip by keeping color well within its edge, or you can build out a too thin upper lip by carrying color well along the natural outer line.
 Try 1t, but practice well before exhibiting your effects to the public.

Point Rationir,g! EnsIsh Housewives Consider Control System Very Satisfactory - American Public Expected to Give Enthusiastic
 ApproV
A p p r o V Q l.

Hartford, Jan. 2.-British house. wives have learned to welcome point rationing - in fact, many a Briton calls rationing flair shares"
 That is the report of experts from the British Food Ministry who have been advising the Of1ce of Price Ad- ministration.
 Their opinion is voiced, too, by Americans who have visited the British Isles and have been the peo- pie living under wartime rationing controls. Experience has shown the people that only through rationing can they get their fair share of the things that are available.
 Ration Book 2
 Point rationing, which will come to every American some time early in 1943 when War Ration Book Two is distributed, has been used in Great Britain since May, 194i, when clothing was put under the point system. Although clothes rationine is not contemplated at present in the United States, Americans can get a good picture of point ration ing in operation from the British experience.
 British shoppers are free tQ choose anything and any style tlfey like; the only restriction is the points al- lowance, which was originally set at 66 points a year and is now 5l points & year.
 When he goes to his clothier's to buy a new suit, a Briton has to think about two prices, the cash price and the point price. Whther he can afford the cash price depends on his pocketbook; whether he can af- ford the point price depends on how many stamps he has left in his Ration Book. Buying a suit takes more than half of his clothing al- lowance, for a jacket takes 1S points and woolen trousers take II. That adds up to 24 points of tn 5l al- lowed each year. If the Briton is wartime Beau Brummel and in- sists on a vest, too, he must sur render 13 more precious points.
 A shirt is listed at 5 points, an overcoat at 16: one point must be

[ surrendered to get a collar or a tie or two handkerchiefs; and a pair of shoes takes seven points.
 Women Favored
 The Briton's wife comes out slightly better under the point val ues on her clothes. She parts with five points for shoes, two points less than mems shoes take. She can buy a wool dress with Il points (and the proper an:unt of cash) and she can get a sleeveless cotton num- Der with only six points.
 Here are some typical point val ues on other womer's and girls clothing: apron-1, shorts-3, wool topcoat-18, slacks-S, wool skirt-6 night gown-6, slp-4, girdle or pan ties-3, stockings-2, ankles-1.
 British shoppers quickly found that buying under point rationine is very simple to understand and even simpler to do. Many of them discovered that 1t helped them plan their budgets, because they have to plan even more carefully when they spend an allowance of points than when they spend money alone They can borrow money when they get into tight financial spot, but they can borrow points.
 Because the point ratio1iing ot clothing was so well liked by the British people the introduction of point rationing of certain foods just a year ago was readily accepted. At first, point rationing of foods in- cluded only canned meats, canned beans and canned fish - most of which are imported by British. Many other foods have since been put under this system, including rice, topioca, dried peas, beans, lentils and fruit; condensed milk, breakfast cereals, syrup, molasses and bis cults.
 The point values of the various foods and articles of clothing which are rationed are set by the British government. They are changed from time to time to keep up with changed conditions of supply and I demand. For example, 1t was found that bathing suits, even though they might be an excellent buy for the money had been given a point value so high that people did not want to spend precious points to get them. Therefore the point value was reduced and bathing suits be- gan to sell at a normal rate again.
 On the other hand, mems trousers had to be raised from i've to il points, because they were . great point bargain at the lower value and they were selling faster than retailers could replace their stocks General Principles
 Point rationing in America will follow general principles very similar to these, which have been so suc- cessful. There will be differences. of course, for our plan will be an American plan, designed by Ameri. cans to meet conditions in America. An important difference will be in the rationing of meat. When meat rationing starts next year it will be under a point system. Although the British do ration meat. they do not use a point system for 1t.
 But whatever details might be different in the plan that Is intro duced in the United States, Ameri. can housewives will make the same discoveries about point Fationing that the British made: It guaEan- tees them their fair share Of scarce goods, and it also allows them free- dom of choice when they shop.
