THIS IS IT A
By Lou Swarz

Charm at its best has been ex-
ercised throughout the ages by such
personalities as those who have held
titles of royalty: queen, princess,
etc. Thus it's not surprising that
today every man admires it.
Remembering that Charm in
cludes fascinating qualities of fea-
lures that inner soul, voice and
character. We must know that this
is the time of year that we must give
special attention to the first-fea-
lures. When we speak of our fea-
lures we think Immediately Of our
face and skin. And with weather
conditions as they are now, the skin
needs special care along with that
Daily Bath routine.
First, analyze your skin. Is it
oily, dry, or natural? Check it for
blemishes, blackheads, enlarged
pores, wiring worms, etc.
pores, ring worms, etc.
Keep in mind and keep in prac-
tice that cleansing process for the
skin. Cleanse thoroughly with soap,
water, wash cloth or complexion
brush. Then rinse with warm or
cool water. If you enjoy drying the
skin pat dry with your damp wash
cloth. Application of astringent To-
ton is also very helpful. However,
if your skin is sensitive use a good
cleansing cream occasionally.
If you are having skin trouble,
check your elimination. Daily elm
i~nation is absolutely necessary.
Check your diet. Proper foods are
a must. Plenty of water throughout
the day is necessary. Personal n.y.
giene is a must daily, and some ex-
ercise must be included in the days
routine.

BRITISH ENDING PALESTINE RULE
 AFTER 3i YEARS

JERUSALEM May l3.-lR- The British will end their 31-year rule over Palestine within hours from now and the Arabs and Jews al ready are making preparations to set up rival governments.
 Britain took Palestine from the Turks in the first world war and then was given a League of Ma tions mandate in 1923. It will sur render that mandate at midnight Palestine time.
 Before or after that deadline, a Jewish provisional government III Tel Aviv plans to proclaims a Jewish state in roughly half cl the country. The seven nations ot the Arab League, meanwhile, are making ready to set up what they term an Arab civil administration not a state but an administra- tive organization which will CO., operate with an Arab military oc- cupa aIlOIl.
 Political maneuvering continues as the deadline approaches. A Jewish agency spokesman says that the Jews still hope for an agreement with King Abdullah ot the Trans Jordan, an agreement which might head off full-scale war between the Palestine Jews and the armies of the neighboring Arab states.
 Nevertheless, the Jews and the Arabs already have been fighting an unofficial war in the Holy Land and at last word military prepara- tions for invading Palestine were still underway in the Arab states:

Up to a few years ago, there

It's delightful climate and 9th

2. The decency and orderliness
of its people. Today we can
boast only about the climate.
The most vulgar behavior,
guttersnipe abuse, and disor-
derby brawls occur in our leg
islative body today. More fill
thy, revolving words are utter
ed in the legislature than in
the most disorderly rum shop.
Instead of trying to show good
examples to our youth who are
rapidly getting out of hand,
socalled leaders, by their
worthless examples, are lead
ing the youth to destruction,
and bringing shame upon the
entire community. Islanders
residing on the mainland who
are not familiar with the un-
b elievable Transformation
which has taken place in the
islands behavior pattern in
recent years, are shocked when
they read news about vile ex-

erts, Corneiro, Francis and
Jackson, the issues were quite
as important, and rivalry was
equally keen, but the men pos
sessed self respect and decen-
4cy, and even though they
fought hard and bitterly for
what they thought was right,
they remained gentlemen to
the end.
But times have changed, and
we now have men in politics
who thrive on abuse, filth and
.strong-armed methods. This
behavior has sicken the decent
elements of the community,
and has made them afraid and
.hesitant to participate in po-
litics. Mr.. Harry de Largarde,
it is to be recalled was SO hui
inflated and embarrassed
when ne sat in the legislature
with this bunch that he re-
signed in disgust before COM
'pleting his term. For the same
reason, Mr.. Osmond Kean de-
cided to resign from politics.
Others have become so dis
.gusted with the state of our
government that they hate to
hear the word politics"
Decency and respect cannot
be regained in this community
of the respectable people
throw up their hands and per-
NIT hoodlums to drag the
community down to their own
low level. There should be

Mr.. Byrnes. Mr.. Chairman,
I would like to ask the Cover
nor a question.
Mr.. Reed. Mr.. Byrnes?
Mr.. Byrnes. | wonder, Gov
ernor, if you would give us
some Information as to the
source of your local revenue?
Governor HASTE. Yes, sir.
We have such matters as real
property taxes, gasoline and
automobile taxes, revenues
from customs, inheritances,
various trade and business tax
es, and we have a small lottery
which brings in a little money,
but there is a great miscellany
of those taxes.
MI. Byrnes. What is the dis
tribution of it? Do you have
a total of the distribution that
you make of your revenue that
you can supply for the record
here?

whatever coalition may be formed, 1t will
be up against the same fiscal difficulty and
popular disapproval. This brings In the
question of occupation policy In recent
months General Macarthur has confined
himself to what are termed "oral direc-
tives"-more or less pointed suggestions
rather than categorical written orders to
the Japanese government. These oral
directives have not worked well in practice,
for one thing because Diet members have
come to distrust their interpreters. Rightly
or wrongly, they suspect that they are
often told to do things because Mac
Arthur wants them," when the general
has expressed no opinion.
The logic of this dilemma would seem to
be either that General Macarthur should
give the Japanese largr measure of
control over their own economic policies,
even though he may disapprove of them,
or he can return to his former policy of
issuing written directives, which would be
unhesitatingly obeyed-with the occupa-
ton authority taking the responsibility
and assuming the popular odium that
might enSue.

Monkeyino With the Schools

1t is unlikely Utlat eltIleA oA S"o oAAA0
now before the House District Committee
and aimed at changing the public school
curriculum will get anywhere. Nonethe-
less, it is proper that the Board OF Educa-
ton should take them seriously and should
oppose them with all the force that it can
muster. For they are nlischievous. They
reflect an always-present tendency by
some elements to NEEDLE with the school
system, with occasional success.
The reports prepared by Superintendent
of Schools Corning, and approved two-to-
one by the boards Committee on Legls-
lation very plainly show the nature of the
threat represented in these two measures.
One of them, the O'KonsH bill, has been
pretty well disowned by it's sponsor. 1t
is a dead duck Under it's provisions our
schools would be saddled with $10000-a
year Poo-Bah, responsible only to the
House and Senate District Committees,
and given wide authority to censor and
determine educational policies. The ab-
surdity of such an arrangement is obvious.
The other bill, sponsored by request by
Representative Miller of Nebraska, repre-
sents more insidious approach through
its misleading phraseology. This bill Is
based on premises already accepted in our
schools-such as the desirability OF national
unity based on an understanding OF the
Constitution; study of the Constitution and
American history and the prohibition of
texts and teaching which breed disrespect
for our form of Government. Everybody
favors such objectives. But the lmpl1ca-
ton of the bill is that our Board OF Educa-
tion. the school administration and the
corps of teachers do not. And to compel
them to do what the bill implies they
oppose. it sets up certain changes in the
school curriculum.
DR.. Corning points to the effect OF the
ehanges-an unbalanced curriculum, an
overemphasis on history and study OF the
Constitution that would force neglect OF
other subjects. AS a practlcal matter,
graduates of high schools Offering such
course could not qualify for the military
and naval academies schools OF engineer
ing or, for that matter, many other uni
versities. They would not be able to obtain
the standard credits.
The bill is an insult to the patriotism
and professional ability OF the school
administrators and teachers. 1t is
gratuitously contemptuous of the Board OF
Education. But it's fundamental error is
in the assumption that school affairs are
best administered by committees OF Con-
gress and taken out of the hands OF those
charged with the responsibility.
Both of these bills are beneath the
dignity of consideration by committees OF
Congress. They belong in the wastebasket,
appropriate depository for such trash

Nor should restraint be placed on

biting of the sort at which the Forrestal
