Womon,s World
Assure Good LOOksfor Holidays
By Starting Grooming Schedule
by G,Aa Haley

IT'S not completely true, and some
experts would say, it's not true
at all, that clothes make the wom-
an. If you have lovely clothes, they
certainly help, but if your skin is
cloudy, your hair dull and figure
dumpy, then clothes can't do much.
Clothes are something money can
buy, but good grooming, which Is
the basis of true beauty, can be
achieved only by your own efforts.
Nothing will take the place of a
hundred strokes of the hairbrush on
your locks; nothing takes the place
of a good facial; nothing takes the
place of a good figure.
If you want to look truly lovely
for the holidays when you will be
out calling-and be called upon
probably more than usual, start
beauty program now to assure your
self of truly radiant good looks.
Time may be brief, but beauty
program followed faithfully will
show results, even if you've been
on it a short time.
Tip to Toe LONELINESS
Should be Sought
If you want to look your best,
strive for lovellness from the top
of your head to the tips Of your
toes. If you have lovely hair, this
is not enough. Your figure should
be able to stand up to critical in
spectior just as should your nails.
Another good reason for striving
for cornplete good grooming is to
give yourself confidence. You need

both. Certainly if we tried to burn
all the poems we should have to

Worlds Greatest Hymn Book

0T EFT me write a nations songs,
Aa and care not who writes their
laws" said a famous man. The
same thing can be said about re.
ligion. Let me write church's
hymnbook, and I care not who
writes their theologies."
The hymns our mothers loved, the
hymns we heard before We hearc
any other kind of poetry. the hymns
that we have learned by heart anc
that become a part Of our minds
these mean far more to most peo
pie than all the printed creeds.
Now the Christian religion is
singing religion. Our very
first hymnboOk was the Book
of Psalms, and all the hymnals
since, down to the present day,
grew out of this one book in the
Bible. 1t is the greatest hymn
book in the world; not the long
est nor the oldest, but the great
est in its influence for good upon
mankind.

Not All Poets Have Long Hair

COME practical people sniff at
~ poets for being peculiar. Long
hairs is a slang name for them as
for other people who know some
thing besides arithmetic.
AS matter of fact. many poets
are very practical people them
selves; engineers, farmers and SOL
diers all have written poetry. The
poets of the Bible are of many sorts.
If you will look into an edition OF
the Bible in which the poetic Sec
tons are printed as poetry is print
ed in other books, you will be I'M
pressed by the very large proper
ton of poetry, especially in the Old
Testament. The new Study Bible
or the American Revised Version or
Moffatt's translation will show this
at glance.
These Bible poems are Of va
rious kinds. Some are war
songs Judges 81, some are prov
erbs (the book Of Proverbs),
drama Job, lOve-sOngs (the
Song Of Songs, Odes Isaiah 4O).
prayers psalm 16), hymns for
public worship 1.-THE Psalms).
The writer's were never profes-
sional poets, so far as we know. OF
the poems which are this weeks
lesson Scripture, two were written
by housewives, one by shepherd
er, one or more by soldier-king.
one by preacher (Habakkuk), and
only one lamentations possibly by
a professional poet. The original
Hebrew book of Lamentations does
not claim jeremiah for it's author;
but if he was the writer, then it was
written by the most practical man
of his time.

Consumers Said
To Blame for
High Meat Prices

Washington, Oct.2 up The
Agriculture Department said to-
day consumers can expect little
relief in meat prices unless they
cut down on meat buying.
1t predicted the l949 supply
per person will be between lao
and las pounds. This compares
with 145 pounds this year. 155
in 1947 and an average Of 1874
in 1874.
But next year should be the
turning point, the department
said, in a downtrend in meat
animal production. Bumper feed
crops this year are expected to
encourage farmers to expand pro-
duction again. A short corn
crop last year discouraged pro-
duction.
The department said more Of
next years supply will be
granted and as a consequence
beef will be Of better grades
than this year.
Season shortages particular
ly during the summer may be
less acute than this year.
