The survivors reached the Ohio
lust as a boatload Of settlers enroute
to the falls-Louisville-was passing.
The boat, however, remained IN mid
river and would not take them aboard
for nearly an hour while the fugi-
tfves ran along the river bank inn
ploring the boatman to save them.
Survivors Rescued
Finally, satisfied that it was not
an Indian rase to get them to come
to the bank, the boatman took the
the survivors. aboard and carried them
to their settlement on Portsmouth's
site.
There. what remained Of the four
families hurriedly packed their own
possessions, loaded their boats and
hurried to MaysviIle, Kentucky, where
there was more safety. -
So ended the very first attempt to
colonize the Ohio country. History
relates little or nothing about it.
The story comes from the entries in
the records of a pioneer Pittsburgh
land company. 1t was their settle
ment.
Those cabins however, were not
the first built in what now is Ohio.
The first log cabin was built in 176l
by Christian frederick Post, a Nor
avian missionary, in Bethlehem
township, Starke County, just over
the line from Tuscarawas County.
He was going to establish a mission
there and the mission lasted but two
years.
Post went out into the Ohio wild
nerness alone because he "was in the
dog house" with his church. He had
married too frequently and his wives
did not suit the ideas Of the church.

Medieval Economics

Just as rural landowners in the
Middle ages found it difficult to
transact mortgage business, SO did
owners of city real estate encounter
unusual difficulties. Thus, for ex-
ample, property owners in Salisbury
were forbidden by the borough char
ter to secure mortgages without the
special consent of the bishop.

One hundred hens which are laying
an average of 10 eggs per day are
producing the eggs at a cost of S2.38
cents per dozen. Another 100 hens
averaging 30 eggs a day would pro-
duce them at a cost of 81 cents per
dozen. Lights used to lengthen the
day to ID hours and wet mash fed
at noon are two of the cheapest ways
to induce hens to increase egg pro-
duction. Alfalfa hay cuts feed costs.

The solution, match, is to start
of on the right foot Immediately.
The right start in beauty should
start in with consultation and help
from MON. Sometimes that doesn't
work too well, we know. So may
we suggest you ask. and find the
makeup that belongs" to you.
Find out the 1ipstick color you
should wear. Find out what
cleansing" your face really means.
And find out just exactly how you
should apply your makeup.
It's been proven time and time
again that the thing you teen-agers
need most is good, clean face
and the wearing of only two make
up items. Lipstick and powder.
All, hah! Now we're getting TO
the point. And made-to-order face
powder Is definitely on the list for
you teen-agers. There's no guess
work to this makeup idea. And 1t
costs no more than experimenting
with shade after shade of different
face powders, searching for the right
one. Powder blending is the solu-
ton and you teen-agers are right in
on the ground floor when you decide
to have your own special powder
blended into shade suitable for
just your coloring.
It works like this. You go to the
store that has this special powder
blending counter as a special feature.
You ask to speak with the beauty

Made-t0-Order Face Ponder
On List for Teem-Agers
By EIeni

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Straight
from New York comes news that
will delight the hearts of Wash
ington teen-agers. This is some
thing new that you will all like,
we know. That is, If you are con-
templating using makeup or even if
you've been using it for quite some
time. And best of all it's available
right in Washington.
The first makeup you teen-agers
start applying should be chosen
with great care. You shouldn't be
guilty of shifting around, trying
first one not-so-good preparation
and then another. Nor is using
mons favorite powder the solution,
either.
Sure, we know its an awful temp
tation to fool around with the
makeup preparations on mons
dressing table. But remember one
thing-mom's age. Her skin prob
lens aren't the same as yours. Her
makeup isn't suited to your skin,
either. We don't have to tell you
that, though, because you've prob
ably discovered it yourself. Her lip
stick is too dark. Her powder makes
you look as II you just caught a
glimpse Of q ghost. Her perfumes?
They are strictly out Of this world
for q sophisticated siren and not
young you!
Evening star., 1948-01-25

connaitant Of this specific beauty
house. She'll glance at your skin
coloring, dip out color after color
of differently hued powders, weigh
them and blend them into q perfect
blend for you. Your first powder
shouldn't be q disillusionment to
you.
When your supply runs low, that's
o. K, too! On file at this counter
is the formula for your made-to-
order powder. Simply write In and
order another box Of the exact blend.
When the seasons change and you'd
like to change your shade Of pow
der, too, it's simple enough. Just
have the same powder reblended.
Besides the great saving attached
Evening star., 1948-01-25

to this wonderful setup, you are a.
sured Of . powder that does the
most for you. Nom will also be
happier seeing you in the proper,
light, young makeup suitable for
your type. Her sultry, dark shades
really do nothing at all for you,
Teena.
If you are interested in knowing
just where in town this made-to-
order powder may be obtained, drop
me line. I'll be happy to tell you
where you can buy it. And, just in
case there are any mons reading

holds true for you where this powder
blending is concerned.

isn't appreciated by us, but some
times the authors seem to be more

One column which 7 recall with

vocated strongly the newest fads-
bangs contrasting in color with the
rest Of the hair and striped finger
nails. These weird concoctions prob
ably added to the list of causes as
to why parents turn gray.
Then, Of course, there are the
columnists who devote an entire
page to the evils of teen-agers "go-
ing steady" and the following week
pen a whole "groovy" column on how
to snare your steady; after which
they give gaudy bits of advice on

The Young Idea
Wbv Some Colzln7uists Do Not
appeal to The Teem-Agers
r
By Sandra Baron, rs,
Calvin Coolidge High School.

Here's the Here's How: Wear
twin dog collars. Knit twin sweat
ers with half a heart on each-the
girls half bearing his name and
vice versa. Nab his bow tie to wear
on your ballet slipperl
Another bone of contention Is
with the cartoonists who insist that
the constant garb Of all girls in
their teens is bedraggled pair OF
dungarees and a raincoat SCARED
with names. Actually the modern
miss is particular about what she
wears, although at home or on some
informal occasion she may don a
pair of slacks or dungarees.
AS for the slang, admittedly there
have been additions to the English
language which are used-occasion-
ally. Many of these have added
color and some will probably be
lasting. And the jitterbugging
which parents shudder at and writ
ers thrive on is not as prevalent as
sometimes thought. Besides, that's
really a hangover from wa-a-y back.
Perhaps it might be well to point
out at this time that all THE
sought-after "Joes" in the school
aren't all-star quarterbacks on the
football team,
To give credit, however, where 1t
is due, there are those who give
useful tips and discuss pertinent
problems. In the cartooning field,
Harry Haenigsen, who does Penny"
and "Our Bill" depicts an under
standing, if exaggerated, view Of
teenage life.
So, dear parents, don't despair.
