HAVE you an eye for romance?
Then don't forget that the beauty

do that you must have splendid

you must keep the brain works click

Good nature is factor. Keep your
blinkers sunny; don't let them be

woman gives them less attention
than she gives to an old sewing ma

motion jiggles the print. She sews
in dim light, and for that bad hab-

She motors along white roads that
reflect the glare Of the sun without
wearing dark glasses. These aids
are necessary for eye vitality and

Glaring light causes the lids 70

turkey tracks are established, it is
no easy matter to erase them. Why
will women bring beauty griefs up
on themselves p? 1t is senseless. Time
does enough damage. Why help the
mean old guy with the long white
whiskers in his nefarious business?

Sensible Attitude
We have made long strides toward
acquiring sensible attitude toward

persons sick in mind were supposed
to be possessed of the devil' and
were treated no better than beasts.
But we have long way to go before

Built-in bookshelves are best for

the architectural features of the

Books should be arranged with
due thought for their size and color.

are inexpensive or can be easily

I Clocks should be chosen with care.
Dainty little porcelain clocks look

and. by the same token, a Colonial

done in the modern feeling are SO
good that they can tick away the

Unless for use in an elaborate room,
steer away from the clock that is
large and over ornamented. There
is such . wide choice Of clocks now,
and prices are fairly reasonable for
the wide selection offered, that it
should be possible to find just the
right clock at the right price.

SOME cities, it would seem, are
like some folks. They go through so
much, have seen so much in their
long lives, that one more disaster,
one more catastrophe happening,
doesn't seem to affect them much,
and doesn't leave many scars. And
so it is with Venice, Queen of the
Adriatic, one of the most interesting
cities on earth.
The recent war has left its mark,
of course, but not much of mark,
it would seem from the accounts we
have received. Venice is herself, she
is bustling, she is busy, and new
generation of tourists is finding this
wonder place, just as enhancing as
have its visitors through the CEN
turies.
Unique City
Venice is unique. Her population
is crowded into buildings that
occupy space about seven miles in
circumference and appear to be
atioat in the Adriatic. The streets
are lanes of water on which boats
serve as transportation. And Venice
is. enriched by some of the worlds
finest architecture, and adorned
with the master strokes of Titan
and Tintoretti. Though built on
piles driven into the earth, the great
palaces and other buildings stand
up we'll. and, for the most part the
city seems as solid as one carved out
of rocks. Yet the houses appear
everywhere to rise on no other
foundation than the water. 1t is diff
ficult to realize that Venice is really
scattered over 1T islands and so
has solid ground beneath the build
ings.

Underground Swell May Plunge France
Into Flaming Internal Strife

Europe. Moscow Is fully aware that
once France overthrows its con-
stitutional form Of government and
establishes Communist govern
ment in Paris, the other Western
European countries will follow with
out much delay.
The Krcmlin's schemes are in
directly supported by the present
French administration, which IS
weak and uncertain Of itself. While
showing, on the surface, strong
determination to cope with the
problems which Maurice Thorez,
Jacques Duclos and other Moscow
stooges raise every day, 1t does not
dare move with real power against
the cells which are preparing to
place France behind the Iron Cur
tain.
Work Of Disintegration.
Large sums of money reach the
French Communists from Moscow
to support their work Of disinte-
grafton. The strikers obey orders
from headquarters, fully convinced
that neither they nor their families
will lack food and clothing during
their enforced idleness, for the COM
rades at headquarters see to it that
the strikers receive living essentials.
Strong arm methods adopted by
the authorities on orders from Paris
are scorned, and since the French
man loves nothing better than a
good skirmish with constituted au-
thority, the strikers welcome their
affrays with the police and gen.
darmerie.
Under these conditions, many
Frenchmen who hope to maintain
their present independence look to
Gen. Charles de Gaulle as a man
who has more stamina and vigor
than the politicians who have been
in power since the Fourth Republic
was created. They look to him to
re-establish law and order by really
strong methods.
Those who rely on the French
general as their last hope for the
rehabilitation of their country are
aware, however, that his following,
while spectacular, is not large and
that if present developments bring
him to power he will not have the
backing to keep him in Office for
any length of time.
The Communists, who heretofore
have fought passive war by means
of strikes, are said to be determined
to plunge France into civil war in
order to stop the man on the white
horse" Gen. De Gaulle Is deter
mined, however, to try his hand as
soon as the opportunity offers -

Frankly Advertising.
Equally remarkable Is the fact
that he made the speech at all.
Supreme Court circles are agreed
that 1t is rare, perhaps unprece-
ented, for a justice to- leave his
ivory tower and speak on contro-
versial matters before a militant
group like the CIO. Justices usually
confine their extra-legal thoughts
to select and stolid gatherings Of
24-carat responsibility like bar as
sociations or the better universities.
