THE use Of green for many
rooms, especially for the bedroom,
noted at the recent summer furni-
ture showings, has been confirmed
in the model rooms that break out
at this time Of year. Green, restful,
yet mildly stimulating, cheerful and
smart, should be considered when
doing over a bedroom.
Homemakers will find unlimited
possibilities for the use of some
shade Of green as the dominant color
in headboards, drapery and uphol.
stery fabrics. Because green COM
bines yellow and blue, it has the
bright sunny qualities of yellow and
the restful quality Of blue. In a
dark room a bright sunny green
adds gaiety and color and a feel
ing Of light, while a cool, darker
shade Of green is effective in an
overnight room.
Use Of Green
Natures lavish use of green COM
bined with the blue Of the water and
sky, the colors Of the earth and the

mixing green with other colors,

THE STARS SAY-'' s FEMBIH

Those whose birthday it is, may
find themselves keyed up to course
of action that could eventually
block most promising and fertile
fields of operation. This not only by
tumultuous and irascible conduct,
but by overriding in a drastic and
over ambitious effort to force the
issues. Such ardent or belligerent
tactics could drive away or irritate
those whose friendly support OF
capital, is of vital consequence.
A child born on this day may be
too ardent for its own good, hamper
ing success and progress by driving

Exercises May Help
Eye exercises also are At times Of
great help in improving the ability
Of fusing the images in both eyes.
These exercises are used principally
before and after operations, which
may be required in some cases Of
cross-eye.
In certain types Of cross-eye,
early operation may be advisable,
particularly in those children born
with eross-eys due to some disturb
ance Of the eye muscles.
In the larger group Of eases
which start under the second year.
operation, as q rule, is delayed until
other forms Of treatment have been
tried. Only after the wearing Of
glasses and the use Of muscle exer-
cises have been given . fair trial,
should operation be considered.
1t would seem best that when op-
erations are needed they be done
before the child enters school.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

my ribs on the left side and alss

Answer: The pain you describe

"HERE'S the menu for tomor-
rows dinner, Chef" He studied it
for a moment.
81 see there is no meat, no fish.
For the main dish you have sug-
gested the cheese rabbit. l know the
price Of meat is high, and fish is go
ing up, too. But do you think the
cheese rabbit will be substantial
enough to satisfy the appetite of a
hungry family"
"Well Chef that's a point we'll
taken. Let's apply a little arith-
metic. The recipe calls for a half
pound of sharp American Cheddar
cheese. pint Of milk and two eggs.
Now that half pound Of cheese is
equal in food value to pound of
beef. Besides, it contains plenty of
vitamin A and calcium. The pint of
milk is equal to one-fourth pound of
beef. And 2 eggs are equal to about
fourth pound of beef. So all told,
this cheese rabbit is the equivalent
Of IA lbs. of meat. Besides, we're
going to serve it on French toast.
By the way. when you make French
toast for four persons how much
milk and how many eggs do you use,
Chef?"
II use a cup Of milk and two
eggs" he answered.
Nutritive Value
"Well, that adds still more nutri-
tive value to this dish, and all of the
ingredients are first-class protein,
which has the same effect on the
body as meat. Besides, it tastes so
good! Now aren't you convinced
that this cheese rabbit will satisfy
the family?"
MADAME, when l am confronted
by lady who is charming and who
at the same time is the expert on
dietetics and nutrition, my powers
of augmentation simply melt
away"
"Come now, Chef" laughed,
"you knew it all the time. You were
merely taking sides with the men
who don't think a meal is dinner
without a dish of meat. OF course,
if you're going to serve cheese
dinner you must serve the cheese
on, or with or in, some bulky food
that will give it bite-somethins
to chew on-and will also fill up the
stomach. That's why l planned to
serve the rabbit on French toast,
Summer squash and corn kernel.

there's an abundance Of summer

corn is up in price because it.,

bring down the cost and have a de.
licious combination vegetable. Fresh
tomatoes are plentiful. so we'll have
a big platter full"
"May suggest to open this din.

New Fall
|Lipstick
Offerings
By HELEN FOLLETT

1T may interest you at this sea-
son Of the year, when there are com.
plexion changes, when fashions
strike a new note, to observe lip
stick offerings. You may be sur
prised to find how many different
colors there are. Also you may WON
der just what shade is best for you.
Divided into types there are or
ange reds, clear reds, pink reds,
fuchsias and orchids, brown reds,
blue reds and deep wine tones that
are deep blue reds. Well bet 4
cookie you never realized there were
so many, each one distinct in its
way.
Pink Red
The blonde should choose = pink
red, as a rule, although she can get
away with fuchsia If the skin has
a golden cast. The brunette has .
wider choice, depending upon the
color Of her complexion that can be
pale, rosy, creamy or golden. For
her there must be a certain amount
of experimenting. The girl with the
olive skin can stick to her raspberry
lip tint and look ravishing.
The lipstick brush is . cute and
useful little trick. Stroke the brush
over the red cream, rest your finger
on your chin to steady it, form
pleasing curves with the brush. Fol-
low the natural lines as closely as
possible. Then fill in.
By this method you won't have
untouched areas, as may happen
when you pass the rosy pencil over
your mouth portals.
Untidy Attempts
The slightest inaccuracy in ap-
plying coloring to the lips marks =
woman as lacking Righteousness. In
daily observation one sees many un.
tidy attempts and that's just two
bad because the most important rule
in makeup and hairdo is neatness.
No scrambled tresses, no smeary
bushes, patchy powder applications
or uneven lip borders.
If the lips are thin, the pencil cal,
go over the white surface ever So
slightly. The color can be fairly
vivid, though fire engine red-liks
silver eye shadows and green mas
cara-is definitely out. 1t shows up
every complexion defect and that is
not according to beauty Hoyle.

Tighten u. S. Controls On Importation
Of Agricultural Workers. Congress
Asked Bv National Farm Labor Union

Washington, d. C. QLNS) -
Charging that big corporate farm
interests want surplus of labor to
beat down wages, the National
Farm Labor Union asked Congress
to tighten controls over the impor-
tation of foreign agricultural work
ers.
President Fl. l.. Mitchell of the
union, an AFL affiliate, declared
that thousands of Mexicans were
crossing the border illegally to
work in Arizona, Texas and CALI
fornia at wages that undercut Am
erican farm laborers.
Finance farm interests" he
said, wanted a surplus of farm
workers and were interested in Sc
curing, legally or illegally, Mexican
workers who "may be exploited
through low wages and bad work
ing and living conditions"
Even workers legally imported
were being exploited, Mitchell tes-
titled a a Senate Judiciary sub
committee hearing conducted by
staff counsel to obtain the immi-
grafton views of private organiza
tions. He said his union was sop
posed to foreign workers being
brought into the United States,
legally or illegally, when there are
native Americans unemployed and
available for work"
If proper arrangements were
made for seasonal movement of
unemployed American workers to
areas where they were needed, he
said, it would be unnecessary to
import any farm labor.
The union head recommended
amendments of the present laws
to provide that mo foreign work
ers will be permitted to enter the
United States for the purpose of
reducing American working stan
dards."
He suggested that before gov
ernment agency permitted the inn
portation of foreign workers for
or industry, it be re-
quired to obtain the approval of
a committee of representative en-
ployers and workers who would be
affected.
Mitchell expressed hope that the
committee would conduct on the
spot hearings in Ell Paso and San
Antonio, Tex; Phoenix, Ariz,, and
in California to check on illegal
border crossings.
