While many reports of the
terms of the Italian armistice
have been published, they have
never been made officially public,
Some reports have indicated that
the terms are extremely harsh.
"They say that officials in
Italy know the armiStice terms
hut the people do not" Fergu-
son added. THE people must
know. Otherwise, you have a
dictatorship.

A FAIR QUESTION

What advantage is there to a
worker in the so-called capital
istic system? Any?
He has to give his boss part Oh
his labor. What does he get in
return besides pay?
If the worker were in business
for himself, he might have to pay
rent of 81 or So a day for his
shop. And he might have to pay
81 a day interest on money for
machinery and tools and interest
on money to buy raw materials.
Also, he would have to invent
something to coll, md find = way
to sell it.
These are the things which a
worker gets from capital" in
return for the fraction Of his day
which he is working for his
employer.
Employers and workers both
give something to and get some
thing from each other. There's
no real reason they shouldn't gel
along fine.

 That's why one manufacturer offers ap introductory cosmetics kit with a program of skin care which explains exactly what each product contains. how to use it and what effect it will have on the skin.
 There are three basic steps in the program:
 First you cleanse the skin with a hydroniZed Soil-absorbing oil which does not contain emulsifi- cations such as wax, gum, caustics or acid. It doen't, therefore, leave a residue on the skin that might clog the pores or retard skin cir culation.
 Next there is a "blushing oil," the purpose of which is to aid in encouraging the action of the blood at the surface of the skin and to hasten the removal of dead tissue. It is claimed this is just as beneficial to the skin in bringing the blood to it's surface as standing on your head for ten minutes.
 The third step is a complexion foundation which is combined with complexion lotion and dress es the face to protect it from soil

SCIENCE SETS BODY AFIRE
By HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE
(P) Science Editor

NEW YORK; chemical which acts like a figurative match to start the fire of fever in a living body has been discovered at the F e a r ing Research Laboratory, BrOokline, Mass. This chemical is called Pyrexin, from the Greek word meaning fire; it comes from inflamed tissues.
 Exuates of inflamed tissues from human beings, inoculated into a rabbits ears, raised their temperatures about two and a half degrees Fahrenheit. The py- rexin chemical is obtained from the protein portion of inflamed tissue discharges.
 Whether levers of all kinds may be due to this body fire-lighter is not yet clear.
