will come to a quick end. Every
effort is being made to assure this
by those in charge back home.

Somewhere in France
Dear Dribbles:
Just a few lines to keep my
promise that I remember to write
to you after 1 left the States.
Well, as you see by the heading
of this letter, I am somewhere in
France, and to add to this, I am
o. K.
Suppose we start things off by
my telling you that I was reading
your column and noted in it GER
tain remarks concerning the
French people. Well, you didn't
tell it all by any means. I wish
some of the people back home
could have the chance to see how
these people are living. They wear
shoes with wooden soles and heels.
And their clothing. Much of it
would surprise you. The people
over here are so short on cigar
cites that they are offering the
soldiers the sum of twenty-four
cents for cigarette; however, we
are not allowed to give them any
because we do not have enough to
go around for ourselves.
The weather has been quite cold
here where I am stationed. It has
showed a couple of times since my
arrival.
1 received The Smyrna Times
and have enjoyed reading about
my friends and buddies who are
helping on the home front. I was
really sorry to learn that Eddie
Burris had been wounded. How
ever, I was just as glad to hear
that he was coming along very
good, and was we'll on the road to
recovery.
I have seen the Eiffel Tower,
and if I can get pass, I'm going
to try and make it into Paris.
i The way I've been hearing it, ]
may get into either the Third or
the Seventh Army. Don't take
this for granted since it might only
be a rumor.
France, as much of it as I have
seen is somewhat like the state of
Pennsylvania with its hills and val
leys. In some places France is
very beautiful with its old houses,
etc. Other places 1 really can't
say so much about. The folks
over here are apparently hungry.
They are begging for anything
they can get to eat. Perhaps !
may have the opportunity of run
ming into Eddie" Burris if he is
anywheres nearby.
I guess there are not many fell
lows around my age left in Smyr-
ma. Please put my address in the
column and tell my buddies said
drop me line once in awhile
Now is the time when I really need
my letters.
Well, as time is growing short, ]
will close for this time. Hoping to
hear from you soon.
Just received your column OF
April 18th and surely enjoyed
reading so much of the home town
news. Tell my friends down at
Wilson Cabinet Company that ]
said "hello" and for them to drop
me a line to let me know how
things are going.
I remain, as ever, your friend,

Make Up For Lip Lure, Says Gene Tierney
BY GENE TIERNEY
Written Exclusively For AP
NeWSfeatureS

HOLLYWOOD - A month does
not have to be any certain size
or shape to be beautiful. A keen
eve and clever makeup can work
wonders!
1 always powder my lips be-
fore applying lipstick. This makes
it last longer, and keeps it from
smearing. Then I use the most
indelible ipstick I can find in a
medium red shaded avoid tricky
new colors.
Personally, I think a lipstick
brush IS easy to use, after little
practice, and it does make a neat
er outline and uses less lipstick.
1t fills in the pores, and gives
smoother more natural appear
ance. After the outline is earthly
drawn, fill in, going up and down
with the texture and wrinkling of
the lip skin, then across with long
strokes to perfect the shaping of
the outline.
A ipstick brush can make dras-
tic changes in the size and shape
of a mouth, though this ought to
be carefully studied and tried out
first. Often the best plan is to fol-
low the natural contours; this is
particularly true for the teen age
girl when she begins to use lip
stick.
If lips are too thin, make them
a bit fuller. You can't make a full
lip narrower, without exposing
that unattractive area between
the lip you draw and the natural
skin. Just use ipstick sparingly
on a full mouth. For a small
mouth, always extend the ipstick
to the corners; for too wide
one, stop short of the corners.
After I have my lipstick on,
neatly, l blot it with tissue and
touch it up again slightly to re-
tain the bright quality. If it's to
be long day, I apply the lipstick
twice, blot twice, and powder over
and touch up again. Then it will
really last. Try to avoid cheap

rob it of appeal.
At night, 1 always rub some
vanishing cream or lotion on my
lips to keep them soft and of fine
texture.
Another little trick I use is
mouth exercise. l pucker my lips
and curl them around. 1t sounds
amusing, and it would be, to watch
but it serves to relax the muscles
and avoids that tired or droopy
look.

Homecoming Is More Vital
Than Heroism To The Women

son or husband has been decorat-
ed.
But wnen is he coming home?
That is the only really important
news for woman while her son
or husband is in uniform. All
the rest is relatively unimportant,
compared with that.
WAITING is TOUGH
And there is probably not a
woman in the country who loves
a man as his wife or mother loves
him who wouldn't have reacted as
did the mother of the hero who
said, "That's nice" to the news
that her son had won the Congress
sional Medal of Honor-but sobbed
with happiness when she was told,
''He's coming home"
It's nice that a mans a hero,
but it's wonderful to know that
the waiting and worrying are
over and that at last he is COM

Clothing for Children
Expected 10 Reflect
Increase Next Month

Ey the Associated Press.
The children's low-cost clothing
situation is looking up.
An Associated Press survey showed
today that greater number of es-
sential garments should begin ap-
pearing in stores next month, despite
a continuing general shortage of
cotton clothing.
In fact, mothers from now on
should be able to find few neces-
sary articles of clothing for their
youngsters.
But Government and trade ex-
perts cautioned against any notion
of stocking up on the garments, be-
cause the program that Is turning
them out is aimed at meeting only
minimum needs throughout the
country.
More than 100000 essential gar
ments are scheduled for manufac-
ture by the end of September under
the War Production Boards infants
and children's clothing program.
Output is planned on a per child
basis, with particularly large in
creases in garments for infants and
small children to meet the wars
larger birth rate.
Recognizing also some women
shoppers complaints about quality
and cut of children's clothing, WPB
said it has set up standards of yard
age and workmanship for the pro-
gram.
To arrive at the number of gar
ments needed, WPB drey up this
list of minimum average needs for
each American child in families with
incomes of $4,000 year or less:
Creepers and rompers, about two
and one-half.
Overalls, coveralls and crawlers,
a little over one.
Cotton dresses, ranging from
nearly four for children under 3
years to barely three dresses for
girls 7 to IA.
Nightwear, ranging from an aver
age of only half a garment to less
than two, depending on age.
Slips, about one.
Undershorts, one and one-hah.
Wash suits, about one.
Boys shirts, a little over two.
In anticipation of winter, the
children's clothing program also
calls for these woolen items to be
turned out during the quarter end
ing September 80: 2.227 900 snow
suits, $500 900 leggings and 10000
snow and ski pants.
