Beauties Hints
Superfluous Hair
Can Be Bleached
To Escape Notice
BY ALICIA HART
MA Stan Writer

Some women fret because darkish
areas Of hair on the upper lip, and
sometimes down on the cheeks,
limit their feminine appeal and
ask: ''What to do?"
Bleach It to make 1t as incon-
spicuouS IS the downy fuZz on the
rest Of the face" That's the an
Swer.
For bleaching there are ready
mixed preparations which you can
buy or you can mix your own with
O little full strength peroxide to
which Q few drops Of ammonia are
added to speed up the action.
Either type Of bleach should color
strip hair In one or two applica-
tons.
It's wise to temper 1t to the SEN
sitivity Of your skin by going easy
the first time and watching the
reaction. Then repeat the applica-
ton, and keep 1t up until hair Is
bleached. Cold cream used after you
wash OF the bleach will help to
allay any skin irritation or dryness.

It's easy to see why Mrs, Brown,

1t Is equally as important to re-
covery to encourage a normal men,
tai attitude as 1t is to give good
physical care-but 1t is sometimes
more difficult. After a severe ill
ness the vitality Is low and all
body processes are somewhat de-
pressed. The muscles are weak, and
any exertion is firing. The nervous
system may be disturbed, the emo
tons difficult to control. and the
patient likely to be irritable and
exacting. These problems must be
handled by the home nurse with
patience, tact and consideration.
KEEP ON LIGHT DIET
Nourishing food is imperative to
complete recovery, but the con-
valescent's appetite is not to be
relied upon as feeding guide. II
may have to be either encouraged
or restrained. Light diet is usually
advised until he becomes normally
active. because the powers of di-
gestion and elimination are likely
to be sluggish until he gets more
exercise.
Both mental and physical exer-
ton should be increased by slow
degrees. A regular schedule al
ternating sleep. rest, diversion ana
activity Is advisable In order to pre-
vent OVERRIDING. Light diversion Is
useful In helping the convalescent

"Ali Bahia and the Forty Thieves"
one Of the most spectacular pictures
10 come out of Hollywood in many
month will be in the offing for
amusement seekers at Warmers
State theater where the picture
opened n four day engagement to-
day.
Produced in gorgeous technicolor
and co-starring Maria Montez, Jon
Hall and the new sensational Tur-
han Bey "Ali Bahia and the Forty
Thieves" is an enchanting picturi-
zation of the loves, intrigue and
wars of ancient Bagdad.
Locale of the elaborate film fam
taSy is ancient Bagdad in the days
of the most respondent glory. Miss
MonteZ appears as q princess whose
treacherous father brings about the
Staying Of the Caliph and the con-
quest Of Bagdad by Mongol hordes.
Hall, son of the dead Caliph, joins
forces with a band of jolly thieves
and, in league with the princess
slave, convincingly portrayed by Bey
finally Gusts the cruel Khan from
the ciyt.
Not, however, before the generous
amount of fast-gripping action
which has come to be expected from
these Universal period adventures
has been reeled off.
Miss MonteZ, according to reports,
exceeds the spitfire charm she ex-
hibited in such earlier technicolor
successes as Arabian Night" White
Savage and Cobra Woman. Jon
Hall Is again teamed with her eff
fectively in the love theme and
handsome Turhan Bey, relative
newcomer to the realm of top billed
screen personalities whose engaging
performance we'll merits his oppor-
| tunity.
Highlights of the pictorially SUI

their mountain Sesame, which opens
and closes upon command.

Two thousand years have dimmed
certain minds in regard to Christ.
To some 1t is as II Christ never lived.
These are those whom we can thank
In part for the present chaos in the
world. There is not a single thing in
all their outlook reminiscent of our
Lord. Not a single shred of what
He thought can be discovered In
what they think or say. These con-
slider 1t triumph when they batter
cities with their bombs. Christ could
not control Himself when He thought
Of Jerusalem in ashes. These syste-
matically have set out to degrade the
human race. Christ spent all His
days and all His wonder-w working
powers trying to uplift the human
heart. Christ sanctifed the home
and all the honey things. These
have desecrated home and firesides.

In our high regard for Christ we
may slip into the error OF minimiz-
Ing His humanity and so His near
ness. Nearness to a thing intensifies
our sensitiveness and keeps our love
from getting cold. We may have
fulfilled Christ's fears that time
would separate us. We may have un-
done the work He did when He took
the pains to remain with us by His
abiding Presence. Everybody now
admits that the blackouts and the
AFRAID drills of the few years past
kept us conscious of the war. They

What the Bible Is Not

From the st. Louis Post-Dispatche
The good Of Bible lies in the textual
contents. not in It's ability to stop bull
let. The same size and weight Of pure
steel would make a far better shield, If
that's what it's wanted for. The War
Production Board gave that warning
over year ago. A Bible or any other
book, with or without thin metal cover,
will stop only nearly-spent bullets or
shell fragments. Now, according to the
Federal Trade Commission, tests show
that the books would make wounds
still more deadly by causing spreading
at the nose Of the bullet.
Purchasers are being victimized by
opportunity hunters who cornered the
supply of 25-cent Bibles, put on metal
covers costing at the most few cents.
and then priced them for retail at $1.95
up.
Retailers who sell the books without
repeating the extravagant claims now
outlawed by the FTC cannot be held too
greatly, II at all. to blame. But II the
smart ones who stirred up the whole
demand really believe what is between
those covers. some Of, them may by now
be living In some discomfort with their
consciences.

Juvenile Court Breakdown

A juvenile Court advisory COM
mittee of citizens has just made a
report ito the community" revealing
an obviously deplorable condition at
the court. The committee attributes
this condition to wartime personnel
turnover and an inability to fill va
cancieS within existing salary limi-
tations. The work of the court,
regardless of what caused the condi-
tion, has fallen far behind, with the
number of cases awaiting DISPOSE
tion almost doubles what it was a
year ago. The committees report
reflects a tendency to blame the
Civil Service Commission and the
District budgeting authorities for
failure to reclassify jobs, taking into
consideration existing pay scales for
comparable work in the Federal
Government.
An inquiry by The Star indicates a
considerable difference of opinion as
to the cause for the Juvenile Courts
congested docket. There is a marked
discrepancy, for instance, between
the number of vacancies reported by
the citizens committee and the
number on file with the Districts
Personnel Board. The citizens COM
mittee reported only two of nine
stenographic positions filled. Dis
trict Building records indicate eleven
out of fourteen positions filled in
this classification. At the Civil
Service Commission The Star was
informed that salary is matter of
law and is paid according to classif1-
cation; that there has been no dis
position to withhold proper classif1-
cation, on the basis of work done,
from Juvenile Court employees.
Such things are mentioned here
merely to illustrate what seems to be
a serious muddle, which The Star
does not attempt to clarity, but as
a result of which the Juvenile Court
is not functioning for the commu-
nifty as it is supposed to do. One
difficulty may spring from the fact
that the Juvenile Court is more or
less independent agency, responsible
to the Commissioners only in budget
ary matters. If they disagree, there
is no referee. But, in this case, a
responsibility rests on the Commits
sioners to get at the facts and make
them available to the public. If
there is poor administration at the
court, that should be made known
If there is failure by the District
budget authorities and the Civil
Service Commission to make avail
able a reasonable supply of person.
mel, the failure should be acknowl-
edged and corrected Immediately.
The cause of the breakdown at
Juvenile Court is important, but it is
more important to remove it.
