GENUINE ARTICLE. A reader
writes that while motoring through
western Michigan this summer he
came upon a stretch of road that was
most interesting linguistically. First
he passed a drive-in called Mothers
Snack Bar" then another called
'Cozy Hot Dog Bar" ''Johnson's
Milk Bar" and Quality Sandwich
Bar" followed in quick succession,
and our friend wondered what could
possibly come next. He found out
after a half mile of clear highway:
a big orange neon sign proclaimed.
'Murphy's Liquor Bar"

orders his decisions. And finally, the boy put
himself squarely in front of the great man and
asked his own great question.
Mister" he asked, can you cure fts?"
The engineers laughed The secretaries
thought it was an amusing joke But Buck
Duke was irritated with them and interested
in the child. In comic way the boy had
asked the man who had the money to harness
rivers something like the same question which
long ago tested the powers of King Canute.
LUKE questioned the boy. 1t turned out
that the child's father who had typically
large Southern family, was subject to fits.
That meant tragedy and poverty in the
family. They say that there and then Duke
gave orders that attention be given to the
boys father. They also say that he went off in
his car, not satisfied
The child's question is part of the hos
pital. There are always limits to power But
child or a millionaire can both seek to the
limit of their powers The Duke Hospital is
monument to their seeking together.

THE QUESTION
by jonathan Daniels

TN NORTH CAROLINA today and every day,
l. the wide parking lots before the Duke
University Hospital are filled with all kinds of
cars of all kinds of people come from whole
state to its wards and its clinics 1t is part
not only of the monument to man, but of
the hope of people And there are those who
say that the whole thing grew from the pathetic
question of child put directly to man who
possessed all the tangibles of wealth and power
James Buchanan Duke had put the whole
tobacco business of the world together before
that day when he came back and met the boy
He was moving then from tobacco to water
power. His private car rolled into sidngs near
drab little towns by potential power SITES In
all such places, Duke then looked in dress and
girth like the conventional portrait of an
American millionaire. The deferential atten-
tons paid him by his secretaries and engineers
made the portrait complete
1t was no wonder that the little people in
the little towns looked at him with awe And
one who looked was a small boy He followed
him around, listened to Dukes questions, his

oiliness of the skin from time to
time resulting from over-rich food,
excessive fatigue and generally
lowered body resistance.
Speaking of certain scientific
types of skin imperfections, Nine.
Bernard went on to say that there
is a certain pigmentary irregularity
which results in a blotched skin,
and we have found this more COM
mon in older women" 1t has been
rather taken for granted by some
authorities that such discoloration
necessarily accompany the aging
process. This is not so. In fact,
Nine. Bernard has helped perfect a
new formula which tends to bleach
the skin at the same time it clears
and smooths it. Her qualifications
for such work are based on back
ground of sound scientific practice
and experience in laboratories.
Nine. Bernard has helped launch
an exciting idea of color in a new
"jewel-tone" makeup. The make
up colors were inspired by her own
fabulous jewelry collection.
Discussing her theories on color,
she says that no woman should be
afraid of color because, rightly un-
derstood, it can do wonders for any
ones personality. I'VE lose so much
of the JOY in life by shutting out
color from our wardrobes," she
points out. Know your type. then
select the right colors for your
clothes and the right makeup
shades, You may need guidance at
first, but after you develop your
knowledge of color values it will
come easily. There should be con-
trast of color to avoid monotony.
All women, regardless of age,
should take advantage of the find
ings of modern science and compe-
tent advice to keep themselves at
tractive. There is no excuse today
for any woman not being as attrac-
tive as she wants to be. ELEM.

Old?

When we walked in on Audrienne
Brier, assistant dance director at
Columbia Studios, she was fast at
work with one of her pupils. How
ever, she was nice enough to give
me a few moments of her lunch
hour for a chat. Miss Brier is a
graceful, supple, pretty blond, but
the background of her training
shows in self-confdence. One i'm
mediately senses her skill as a
teacher,
The younger stars come in to her
for training three times a week. six
or eight weeks before the shooting
of a picture begins. Miss Brier says
that the Rhumba is a wonderful
exercise for reduction of the waist
and hips. One young star lost :
inches in seven days by this pleasant
method. Of course. we would have
to execute a mean" rhumba in
order to have such startling results
and the hip action most of us pro-
duce would not suffice.
The following is an interesting
exercise which is given to all exer-
else pupils at Columbia. Stand erect.
Bend your knees and place your
hands on the floor in front of you.
Now keep your hands on the floor
while you straighten your knees and
return your heels to the floor. You
may not be able to straighten COM
pletely at first but, with persever-
ance, you will finally achieve it.
Another Columbia lot exercise
Stand tall. Raise your arms over
your head. Rotate your trunk, max

do this exercise be certain to bend

Beauty Is a Habit

If you understand the funda-
mentals of good posture, exercise,
skin care and carry them with you
all day long, the habit of looking
and feeling lovely inside and out
unconsciously you will be rejecting
the YOU you've always wanted to
be. For all beauty isis habit.
This Is what Nine. Manka Bernard,
world famous beauty lecturer has
to say on the subject. Nor are
beauty and good grooming relegated
to youngsters. Madame is her own
example of her theories. She has
no qualms about admitting that
she, herself, is a grandmother.
Most of the people who sell cos
metics will tell you that their pro-
ducts are excellent. 1t is the
American woman who is lazy. That
is why she doesn't always achieve
the best results from her beauty
preparations. However true all this
may be, Nine. Bernard takes more
sympathetic stand on the subject.
She is definitely aware of the new
requirements of modern woman,
born from the tensions and demands
of our times. She is especially
aware of the beauty needs of the
older woman.
"As you get older your skin gets
out of breath just as any hard
runner gets out of breath" she said
to us in a recent interview. The
skin becomes literally oxygen
starved and any woman with this
condition will look old and tired
regardless of makeup and camou-
fage. That is why, Madame claims.
that it is necessary to get at the
basic cause. AS another beauty ex-
pert exclaimed not so long ago,
Bad skin does not happen over
night. 1t is the result of neglect of
days, weeks, months and years 5

COMMENTS.
From Mrs. D. M. H., Falls Church. J
I have. been greatly interested in
the reading suggestions for self i'm
provement. I not only feel need
for self improvement on every sub
ject but very much enjoy collecting
data on variety of subjects. The
comments and suggestions of Mrs,
P. F. j., Washington, the Reading
Party" sounds delightful.
I, too, have found it necessary to
provide a supplementary income for
the family because high prices on
every necessity for ordinary living
had brought our standard of living
too low for comfort. / have fitted
my largest, brightest bedroom as a
nursery and am giving full time
care to infants. / worked in one
of the Senate Committees as secre-
tary to their legal counsel during the
war. After the war was over I came
home to care for my family. I
enjoyed Office work but will say
there Is more satisfaction in the
sort of work am now doing. There
is the added advantage of being with
my children and giving them the
attention and training they did not
receive in the care of various
maids"

There is a vaporizer available that

and then shuts off automatically
Mrs. B. K. could fill this with water
before retiring and of course could
also use it during the day. Then
there is vacuum cleaner on the
market that can also be used as a
humidiier. The cheapest thing and
of course not very satisfactory but
it might prove helpful-is to keep a
kettle of water on the stove going at
all times.

Horsemen Attempt
To Spun Continent

TACOMA, WASH.-From the Pa
cific to the Atlantic on horseback is
the goal of two horse ranchers and
special deputy sheriff of Pierce
county. The trio hopes to span the
continent in less than six months,
with October 81 set as the goal for
arriving in New York.
Making the trip are Ned Ken
needy, 81, of Tacoma, a deputy sher-
if, and "Holly" Hollingsworth and
Skip" Kennedy, horse ranchers at
Spanaway, near Tacoma. The party
is using three saddle and two pack
horses.
For those who want to make
comparison of the cost of cross
country trips by horse and car,
Kennedy reports that oats for the
horses and food for the three men
are running about $25 per week.
