DISREGARD REPORTS

Shortwave broadcasts, originating
in enemy countries, and purrort-
ing to give information about
American prisoners of war are un-
reliable, the American Red Cross
has warned. Relatives and friends
of missing men are urged to dis
regard such reports unless con-
firmation of the status of these
men is received from the War or
Navy departments.
Many shortwave enthusiasts, said
A. L. Schafer, manager Pacific
Area. American Red Cross, make a
practice of following enemy broad
casts and relaylng to relatives the
messages heard.
The motive of these enthusiasts
is not questioned but relatives
should not accept the enemy pro-
paganda broadcasts as being ac-
curate, and should communicate
with the War and Navy depart
ments, either direct or through the
Red Cross for official confirma-
ton before addressing letters to
them as prisoners. Locally such
inquiries are handled by the home
service department of the Ell
Centre chapter, American Red
Cross, 100 North Fifth.
The Red Cross has also pointed
out that false casualty reports
have been received by hundreds of
servicemen's families. being a part
of the enemy program to under
mine American morale.

today it is simple matter to work
pattern and color into the room and
avoid the difflculties of having new
floors laid.
Fireplace mantels which often are
found In every room may be any
thing from wood, slate, slate painted
to look like marble, to true marble
of mausoleum proportions. Simplify
them where it is possible, remove as
many of the extraneous appendages
as you can without tearing out q
whole side wall. Beyond that, plan
the color scheme of the room to give
the fireplace its due share OF i'm
portance.
Replace the pomposity and over
ornateness of the original upholstery
of Victorian furniture with brilliant
color. This not only lends life and
color to the room. but pulls the eye
away from too-high ceilings and
vast proportions, focusing it on the
center Of the stage.
1t is quite possible to make the
1883 house a suitable background
for the busy life Of 1943 and AT the
same time permit it to keep an air
of its original character. No one
ever complained of the livableness
and comfort of the Victorian home,
but only of it's plush-lined, satin
trimmed interior, which made dust

Pulling down" the high ceilings
and high windows of that period is
one of the first requisites. This may
be done by dropping the ceiling line
down l8 inches OF more on the side
walls, where it is finished with a
molding or decorative banding.
For bedrooms a simple trick is to
paper the ceiling with fowered
paper, dropping the ceiling line and
finishing below this point with plain
papered or painted walls. Another
break may be made at the dado line
by running a narrow flower border
or Aarland around the room.
Windows during the Victorian age
were as overdressed as were the
ladies of the time. Satin or taffeta
side draperies were topped by
draped valances trimmed with fringe
or ornate silk edgings. Under these
were pettlcoatS or elaborate lace
curtains and the ensemble was often
tied back with silk cords and huge
taSSelS.
To-day We simplify all of this.
Glass curtains are usually sheer net
hung perfectly straight. Side drap-
cries OF interesting color, but not
necessarily ornate pattern are set
outside the window frame to give
more width to the window. The val
ance at the top is used again to
lower the height of the window, but
it also is simpler than the original.
Wherever possible groups of WIN
dows are treated As one which is one
point toward simplification and bet

Floors in the Victorian house are
notoriously poor because they were
usually covered with wall-to-wall
carpeting. If this plan is followed

Facials for Fairness
BY EveIyn Hayes

Time was when a facial was
thought of as sometime" treat
for very special occasions. Now most
of you know that a facial isn't
luxury. 1t can be very fine weapon
to help us face situation. 1t can
help us lick fatigue before fatigue
ncks US.
These days when we're all work.
ing doubly hard, and seem to have
less time to do twice as many things,
it may be difficult to get to a salon
to have a facial as often as you
would like. A home facial is the
answer and the results are big for
such a small outlay of time and
money.
OF course, the same rules don't
hold for everybody. 1t goes without
saying that the treatment for a
woman Of thirty would differ from
the treatment for a woman in her
fascinating forties; ard the routine
for an oily skin is not the same as
one for an epidermis that tends to
be dry However, the general aim is
the same-to cleanse, relax and
beautify you. And the basic beauty
treatment Is the Same-So let's get
the 1928 of this down pat SO you
can pat yourself to beauty.
First you want to remember that
half the fun-and benefit-of a
salon facial is the setting. You
know, soft lights, hushed voices
and you completely relaxed on a
nice cushy lounge. So, the first thing
to do in starting a home facial is to
arrange a chair or couch-even d
bed-on which you can relax. Then
close your door and hang up a do
not disturb sign"
Now you're ready to go to work
First you cleanse your skin thor
oughly with cleansing cream. Then
when you've removed the first cream
give yourself a second helping of
cream just to be sure. Next is the
massage with conditioning de-
signed to smooth and strengthen
the tissues. Upward and outward is
the theme song Of massage as you
work the cream into your skin. With
the same cream, go to work on your
neck with round-and-round mo-
ton. Do the back and front of your
neck and as far down the back as
possible and across the shoulder
blades. "a little bit Of Yogi would
help here) Now 60 over all with a
piece of cotton saturated in bracing
skin lotion.
After you've thoroughly cleaned
and conditioned your skin and re-
moved the goo, you'll want a beauty
mask. A mask has long been the
trick-for-radiance used by the beau
ties who cast an aura There's a
new mask which long has been a
salon favorite in Washington that
you now can buy in the stores.
It's dainty, refreshing, cool, pink
cream which you spread on smooth
ly. AS it dries you can actually feel

1883 House Goes Modern

Making over the Victorian house
3or comfortable modern living pre-
sents many problem. However
these problems, once they are solved
leave high score of assets.
MOST Victorian houses were noted
Tor their good construction and fine
workmanship. Though many OF
them lacked the soft charm of hand
work, the good proportion and sim
plclty OF an earlier period, they
o1ered carefully machined wood
work, paneling and molding so per-
tectly laid and finished that repairs
were seldom necessary in IS years,

use what we know of modern good
proportions at the same time we
keep all the good building of. the
period
Right now, most of us are limited
IN the money We have to spend, and
1t is difficult to get Workmen to do
extensive repair jobs. So, with the
Idea that good deal of the mod
ernlzation is to be done with our
own little lily-white hands it be-
hooveS us to simplify the remodeling
process.
The paneled Victorian room-or
the one with ornate woodwork and
many doors-can easily be frightened
and Ilghtened with complete paint
Job. But often the woodwork is of
maple, cherry or walnut and has
an interesting design quality in
itself. 1t is much better, if this is
the case, to clean and polish the
woodwork and then contrast it with
walls, floor coverings and drapery
fabrics which are colorful and plain.
giving the lightneSs we expect in
modern interior and keeping the

Unless you have a museum col

must have an authentic background,
1t would be wise to obviate as much
OF the frills and fussineSs of that
opulent age as possible. After all,
few of us have the help these days
