Today there are so many aids to
attractiveness That it would not be
surprising if we were all ravine
beauties! In the cosmetic line alone
the list is long. Many women dc
not know about some of the avail
able products. Therefore, I am 60
ing to give quick resume of these
and will call your attention to some
of the valuable beauty improvement
suggestions which are current.
In the first place, we can now buy
powder which matches our natural
skin tone perfectly. This goes for
lipstick and rouge, too. Many wom-
en- are confused by the fact that
they must take into consideration
the color Of the costume they are
wearing as well as their natural
skin tone when buying lip or face
rouge. While a bright red Ipstick
looks terrible when worn with q
plum colored suit, this should cause
no trouble in selecting your lipstick
since there Is wide choice of COL
ors. You can always find one, which
is becoming to you and yet does not
fight with the shade of your cos
tune. If you cannot do so, 1t sim
ply means that you are wearing
colors in your suits and dresses
which are not flattering to you.
Today straight hair Is no longer
a problem with lovely permanents
possible. Hair styling can create
changes which are attractive.
Today we have makeup bases
planned especially for the extremely
dry or oily skin. There is a new
and interesting product on the mar
ket which will be a great help to
many girls and women. This cos
metic banishes the shine from nose
or chin or face for hours at time.
This problem has annoyed many

women. An oily nose, after an hour
or SO in society is definitely not
social asset. If you apply more
powder over this oily surface the
result is often worse than a head.
light because of a caked and
streaked appearance. You can use
this product as a base If your skin
Is oily all over. If not, you can ap-
ply it to the oily spots.
We have depilatories for super
fluous hair, also deodorants and
antiperspirants which add to
daintiness. We have circulation
creams and jellies to whip up lag
ging circulation. We can have beau
tiful jobs done in eyebrow and eye
lash and hair dying.
None of these take the place Of
inherited perfection but they are all
great aids for the average woman.

century. Brick cheese is semi hard
ranging from mild to quite SHARP
In flavor, and has many small holes
Or eyes. It's called brick because
1t is brick-shaped, and bricks were
once used on the cheese presses
during manufacture. Use brick
cheese in sandwiches and for buffet
service.
CHEDDAR is the best known and
most widely used of all cheese
1t S often called American" cheese
although it originated in the vii
lage of Cheddar, Somersetshire
England, as long ago as 1895. In
natural form, cheddar is made in
various shapes and sizes known as
Daisies, Longhorns, Americans
Twins. Flats and Blocks. Natural
cheddar without rind is made in
block form, and is cured in its
own transparent wrapper. Ched-
dar is hard, -teXtured mild
to very sharp. Much of the
cheddar cheese used is process
cheese. Cheddar is fine for
cooked dishes, it's a favorite for
sandwiches and buffet, and is used
for a dessert cheese. In fact. the
custom of serving a wedge of ched-
dar with apple or other fruit pies
originated right here in America.
PROCESS cheese is an American
manufacturing triumph, marketed
first in 1920 This cheese is made
by blending selected natural cheeses,

make your waffle batter quite thin,
thinner than for pancakes, you will
have nice crisp waffles.
From Mrs. E. B. M, WaShington.)
In reply to E. M. D. who COM
planned about waffiles not being
crisp: suggest that she try waffles
made from what is probably the
best-known buckwheat, corn and
wheat -four ready-mix for pan
cakes, in the yellow and white box.
Directions are on the package. They
are delicious and crispy, our friends
have changed to this mix from
homemade batter after trying here
as thev are much more tasty than
those made from plain wheat flour.
From E. L., WdShtngton.)
If you will use water instead OF
milk in waffies they will be crisp.
Also thin batter makes crtspef
wafies than the thick batter.

COMMENT.
(FrOm M. A. R., Bethesda,

fFrom NJ. A. R., Bethesda.J
I have just read in his evenings
RICH the recommendation by Mrs.
E. E. D. of Annandale that mothers
sprinkle moth flakes around the
baby's play pen to keep away the
bugs and ants.
just a few years ago I found
my baby playing with a box which
I thought had contained a small
amount of moth flakes. The box
was empty. Just to be on the safe
side called my pediatrician to see
if the moth flakes could be harm
full. He questioned me closely for
symptoms of convulsions and gave
me minute instructions on what to
do when the conclusions started.
Please, please, don't recommend
leaving moth flakes around where
a baby can reach them and put
them in his mouth.

New UCS Director Prepares.
For Vigorous ..49 Chest Drive
Details Of Merger
To Be Set by Oct. !,
Arthur Kruse Says
By Horriet Griffiths

1t would be hard to find a buster
spot than that in which the newly
arrived executive. director of WASH
ington's United Community Services
finds himself.
Arthur Kruse, however. was COM
pletely the unruffled executive when
interviewed between interruptions at
his desk yesterday.
The 38-year -old teacher and well
fare worker from Akron, Ohio, is
getting acquainted with a new job,
completing the organization of UCS
and lending active support to the
Community Chest Federation fund
campaign for 1949.
UCS is the central welfare organ
ization replacing the Community
Chest of Washington and the Coun-
Gil of Social Agencies. 1t Is the
Washington member of the Com
munity Chest Federation OF this
area.
Now in Operation.
1.-THE stats of the Community
Chest and the Council already have
been turned over to UCS-actually
We are now under operation" Mr..
Kruse said. Most of the organiza-
tional details will be worked out by
October /.
The UCS will work closely with
the Chest Federation in the raising
of funds and in seeing that the
funds are properly used
In UCS, Mr.. Kruse pointed out
Washington adopted broader base
of representation of community or
CARNATIONS engaged in health and
welfare work than any other COM
of comparable size.
1t includes Chest-supported agen-
cies, voluntary agencies financed by
non-Chest funds, and public, tax
supported agencies.
The point is" he said, that
health and welfare problems of the
community can be approached eff
fectively on total community basis.
Constant Study Needed.
THE work of the public agencies
affects the work of the Chest agen-
cies and vice versa. We need to con-
slider the expenditure of funds for
one group of agencies in the light Of
the work being done by all the
others in the same field of activity. y
For another thing, he went on,
the basis OF developing an adequate
and efficient health and welfare
program is a constant study of COM
munity needs and agency services
to determine how we can more eff
GENTLY deal with the problems of
human welfare
Mr.. Kruse pointed out that UCS
will include six major sections, each
with staff personnel to do the job
of coordination and study for joint

Pound Overrun:
Homes Sought
For IFS Dogs

District Poundmaster Fran K
Marks, overrun with more than 1875
homeless dogs he either must sell or
destroy, today asked Washington
residents to help him find homes for
the canine waits.
Under the law, Mr.. Marks may
keep a dog 4S hours before destroy
ing it.
But we stretch it little when
we can" he added.
He could account for the great
number of dogs only by supposing
that either money is getting tight
or that anti-dog rules in Washing
ton apartments are forcing people
to get rid of their pets.
A pound dog-and all of them are
friendly types, Mr.. Marks says
costs only 81, and license is an
additional SO. The pound, at South
Capitol and I streets. is open daily
from 8 am. to $3.50 pm.
