Clarifying
Yourself
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer

If you wereE Jorn beautiful,
then make the most of your best
features as have many of Holly
woods most successful stars.
An expressive face and alert eyes
can overcome the fact that your
nose to too long or your chin too
sharp" says beautiful, talented
Alexis Smith, soon TO be seen in
Thank Your Lucky Stars"
And here are two exercises which
the star recommends for adding
sparkle to the eyes and expression
to the face:
ITO give your eyes a bright,
alert look, roll them around in
their sockets 20 or 80 times without
moving your head" she advises,
then close them for a minute,
open and focus your vision first on
one corner of the room, then the
other. Repeat several times"
Flexing the eyebrows is a great
expression aid. she has found.
Practice raising and lowering both
brows till even the thought of a
smile is registered with them. Fol-
low this by flexing first one brow
and then the other"
Do these exercises daily and a
happy expression will become a
habit.

THE CITIZENS PART
Christian Science Monitor

Americans know full we'll how import
ant each soldiers efforts are 10 the sue
cessful execution OF fighting plans. Yet.
at home. there still Is too great a ten
dencv to feel that the battle against in
flation can be left to government plan
ners, and that the general public needs 10
do little or nothing about il. There are
few individuals who do not yield TO the
temptation to buy goods they do not
actually have TO have.
Thus people who are working perhaps
harder than ever before, are adding 10
the initiation spiral and consequently re-
ducing the purchasing value OF their
hard earned dollers. Moreover, unessen-
tial purchases of civilian goods tend to
retain in many civilian plants of man
power that might better be used to fill
the vital need for more workers in war
production and to release some of the
latter for the armed forces.
In inaugurating a nationwide cam
paign to enlist cooperation in the in
flation fight, American life insurance
companies are rendering an important
service. Their policy committee has laid
down an intelligent seven-point plan for
each citizen: to buy and hold war bonds,
pay increased taxes willingly, put excess
funds into life insurance and savings,
reduce debts and avoid making new ones,
buy only what one needs, abide by fa-
tioning rules, and cooperate with the
Governments price and wage stabillZa-
ton program.
To which we add Make every effort
to keep your dollar up by keeping un-
necessary purchases down.

s. Burton Heath
Writes:

The Moscow manifesto calling
upon Germans to overthrow the
Nazi regime apparently came as a
complete surprise to the other
United Nations. Our ambassador,
Adml. William H. Standley, is re-
ported to have had no slightest
inkling of it until the declaration
appeared in Pravda.
1t looks as though Stain, going 1t
alone, is limiting to the German
people that the Soviet will accept
peace without unconditional sur
render. If Great Britain and the
United States stick to their guns,
this could easily mean a split on
very vital matter.
We-the British and Americans
insist ostensibly upon uncondi-
tional surrender by the Italians, but
we temper our obduracy by entic-
ing promises express and implied.
When Germany's time comes, We
propose neither to express nor to
imply anything in mitigation of our
basic demand.
This difference in treatment
probably could be justified on the
theory that the German people as
a whole have greater guilt than
the Italian people as a whole. But
in the long run guilt is not the best
yardstick; punishment of criminals,
however human, is less important
than eradicating the causes OF
crime.

AGGRESSIVE WARFARE
ON JAPS PROMISED

Further indication that the United
Nations intend to carry on aggressive
warfare against the japanese now and
not allow them to consolidate their pos
itions and make use OF conquered terri
tories is assumed from the appointment
of Lord Louis Mountbatten as supreme
commander in southeast Asia.
Allied leaders are undoubtedly of the
opinion that we now have strength en-
ough to carry on two full-scale wars
simultaneously.
The appointment, one of the decisions
of the Quebec meeting of President Ro-
osevelt and Prime Minister Winston
Churchill, comes at a time when Allied
forces are planning to invade the strong
hold of Europe. To take Mountbatten, a
whirlwind of action and skilled leader,
away from the scene of impending great
events in Europe is evidence that our
strategists are sure we have the power
to do two big jobs effectively.
The first of Mountbatten's tasks when
he takes over a position similar to that
held by General Macarthur in the south
west Pacific, will be a campaign to re-
conquer Burma and open China's life
line
The 43-year-old cousin of King George
of England is a fighter and unless this
is a deliberate move to draw red her
ring across the trail in the Far East and
mislead us and the Axis entirely, things
should start popping in Burma soon.

the Women
BY RUTH MILLETT

She gets up a half hour before
her husband does, cooks his break
fast, gets into her nurses aide uni
form and leaves the house with
him.
Her housework waits until she is
through putting in her hours at
the hospital-but she has the work
all done when her husband comes
home at night.
She has been told often how
much good she is doing By helping
to relieve the nurse shortage in the
local hospital.
But she hasn't been told how
much she is getting out of the eX-
perience. And II is more than she
has ever gotten out of any club
To begin with. she has seen more

been working as a nurses aide than
she saw in the five years when she
was nothing but a housekeeper.

CRIME WAVE?
-by-
Peter Edison

Summing it all up, so per cent of
the population of the District OF
Columbia was reported to be living
in slum conditions. This portion
of the population lives in an area
slightly larger than three square
miles, which contains approximate
ly 40 per cent of the deficient
dwelling in the District. 1t goes
without saying that most OF these
people are the colored help that
does the dirty work for the other
half and therefore has an excellent
chance to spread infection.
On top Of this, the fair city on
the Potomac has discovered it has
crime wave. A scathing report
from the Washington Criminal
Justice Association reports $500
crimes in 1912, 5000 of which were
unsOlved. Of the 1900 adult and
500 juvenile arrests, there were
less than 700 convictions. Juvenile
delinquency cases are running at
the rate of $50 a day. In the
past year there were 1900 burglar
les, 1000 rObberies, 542 assaults
and go murders.
Prostitution is rampant, Washing
ton being one of the worst cities
in the country from the viewpoint
of street soliciting" according to
the report. Venereal disease in
fections contracted by members OF
the armed services in Washington

This is the Washington which the

u. S. TROOPS MAY PLAY
LARGER PART IN EUROPE

Placing the former chief OF the famed
British commandos in charge Of India
operations drops just a mint that Am
erican troops may be assigned an even
larger part in the assault on the Fort
ress Europe.
The Yanks have proved that they have
become masters at seaborne warfare in
island hopping in the southwest Pacific.
In Sicily they established beach-heads
with such ease that the Axis was both
surprised and flabbergasted.
In southeast Asia Fountbatten will
also have American troops under his
command. Since early in the war
trickle of our fighting men has bolster
ed the defenses in India and together
with the crack Indian army was probably
responsible for keeping the Japs behind
the border of Burma.
A large number of U. S. filters will
also fall under the command of the able
British leader who will direct land, sea
and air operations.
He has proved his ability to coordinate
the three fighting arms of the service
into balanced team in the well-timed,
hit-and-run attacks against the NaZis.
The attack against Dieppe, France, in
the summer of 1912 was an example of
the effective cooperation of all three
units against selected targets. A squad
ron of dive bombers or guns from a des-
troyer were ordered concentrated on de-
fences and they were blasted to bits.
In southeast Asia, where large bodies
of water separate the land battle areas,
Mountbatten will again be given ample
opportunity to display his daring cour-
age and genius in this type of combined
operations

VENTURE AND SECURITY
NeW England Letter of the First
National Bank of Boston.

The quest for security is the funda-
mental adage of the times and is uni
versal ailment Essentially it is an at
tempt to escape from reality. 1t finds
reflection in the "cradle to the grave
security plans, in deficit financing
theories, the new debt philosophy, and
in the vast array of Utopian schemes
that are designed to provide shelter
against the storms of life. This same
craving found expression abroad in
Fascism and Nazism. The Italians and
Germans surrendered their freedom for
an illusory security and military pag-
eantry But they were led into a war of
aggression that threatened the very sec
urity of civilization. The downfall of
Mussolini and the humiliation, defeat
and disaster that has befallen Italy
should be warning of the fate of a people
that surrender their individual freedom
to autocratic power.
With the crumbling of the autocratic
systems in Europe, it is timely to re-ex-
anime the fundamentals of the American
system in which private initiative is the
dominant force Our private enterprise
system is the survival of experiments in
virtually all formes Of endeavor, follow
ing thousands of years that mankind was
struggling with nature to exc out a bare
subsistence 1t needs to be constantly
corrected and modified as defects ap-
pear, but we should make corrections
within its framework and not adopt
policies that would undermine and event
ually destroy it. Human nature being
what it is . the release of individual
energy under such stimulus is the most
creative force in the world.
