He is the only champion to have

During World War II Louis

held in 1912 with two giants, Abe
Simon and Buddy Baer as his OPP

Louis also whipped three other ex-

John Henry Lewis.
A long layoff during the war

he hammered his challengers into

against Jersey Joe Walcott in De-

That Interest Women
By Bessie F. Bell

If one is well organically, there
is no excuse for a poor complex
ion. You need only take just two
main steps to acquire and keep
a beautiful complexion.
1. Keep your diet on the aka
line side, a ldetoxifying diet). l
am sure that most of you have
noticed that certain foods will
cause an accumulation of acid in
your system.
This condition makes known its
presence in different forms. Some
times as a rash, or just a burning
and itching of the skin.
It even causes a swelling or
puffiness through the stomach and
waistline. Other times we are
troubled withp aims in the stom-
ach or in the lower region of the
chest. That's when we say we are
troubled with indigestion.
There r SO many ways in
which the wrong kind of foods can
cause one pain, both physically
and mentally.
2. This step is important in
connection with No. l., only we
work from the outer surface.
Keep your skin clean by weld
ing generously the old standby
that never fails. The bath brush,
a bland soap and plenty of water.
Don't be afraid to use cold
cream. This too is necessary for
proper fabrication protects the
skin during various weather con-
ditions.
Find the right kind of toiletries
and cosmetics for your type and
texture of skin. Choose your diet
carefully and stick to it. Get prop
er rest and sleep. Now watch and
you will see how beautiful you
can be.

Heard on the radio: The guests
we're engaging in PER-suh-f1id
The word used is persiflage, light,
frivolous talk The last syllable
should have the "ah" sound, fol-
lowed by the "zh" sound as in
mirage. Better say: PER-si-flahzh.
That certain early-morning, net
work news commentator ought to
receive some fan mail about his
pronunciation "ree AL uh ZAY-
shun" for the word realization. It's
wrong, of course. The only sane
toned pronunciation is: REE-uh-h-
ZAY'shun.
A surprisingly large number OF
people, including Kay Kyser, say
"mass-uh- -TOO-sets" for Massachu-
setts. Just why -chu- should sug-
gest "too" battles me completely. ]
have observed, however, that mis-
pronunciations are as catching as
the measles-witness radios imbecile
craze for saying "syoon" for soon,
"tyoo" for too, "nyoon" for noon, etc.
At any rate, the -chu- Of Massachu-
sets spells f'choo," thus: MASS-uh-
CHOOsets.
The word parliament is not
'PAHR-lee-uh-ment" or "PAHRL-
'uh-m'nt." The Il" should be silent.
This is a three-syllable word. Say:
PAHR -luh-m'n mt.
Again let me caution my readers
against saying 'in-kog-NEE-tuh"
for incognito. This mispronunciatlon
is heard frequently in radio and
screen dramatics. But it has no
sanction. BE sure to place the accent
on the second syllable, thus: in
KOG -ni-toe.
The word means, with the real
identity concealed" as, to travel
incognito.

Has Five-Year Plan
The inspection of the Tennessee
Valley Authority was inspired by
one of the chief domestic pro-
grams and policies of the Dutra
administration. He is the origi-
nator of a 'five-year plan" begun
in March, 1949, in which one of
the most important items is the
expansion and development OF
giant hydroelectric and irrigation
projects In various sections OF the
republic, particularly In the vast
arid northlands. The Tennessee
Valley projects are the only in
dustrial developments he ex-
pressed a particular desire to see
while here. During his visit in
l943. the general toured most Of
our leading manufacturing plants
and all the largest military estab-
lishments. so that he is not un-
acquainted with that side Of
United States activity.
The Dutra industrial plans also
include the reopening Of some of
the key mining enterprises that
grew up and flourished until after
the end of the war, industries
which kept a flow Of critically
strategic minerals. metals and
other products to United States
foundries and factories in the last
two years of the conflict. With
out certain of these Brazilian
minerals we probably couldn't

General Dutro's Visit Significant
Long Friendship With
BroziI Covers Two
World Wars
By Edword TomIinson

The visit to this country of
Gen. Eurico Gaspar Dutra, Presi-
dent of Brazil. is both significant
and timely. From our standpoint
he represents a neighbor nation
of nearly 50.000.000 people, the
most Populous Of the other Ameri-
cas-. and, next to Canada, the
largest and most strategic in the
hemisphere. For more than a CEN
tury. both in times of war and
peace, the Brazilian government
and people have evidenced an un-
broken friendship with the United
States. They were our unflinch-
ing allies in two great world con-
flicts.
Unfortunately. powerful forces.
such as Communist propaganda
on the one hand and extreme
and narrow nationalism on the
other, are at work among the
Brazilian masses to create divi-
sion and dissension between us.
Most of the country's top Off
cials, high-levei political leaders
and responsible private citizens
are still disposed to travel the
same road with us. Yet there is
widespread feeling, even among
the most friendly of them, that
we have become so preoccupied
with the problems of Europe.
Asia and elsewhere that we have
forgotten the most important of
our Southern neighbors. "At
least" says a prominent Brazilian
diplomat, "the North American
public has grown indifferent on
the subject of hemisphere rela-
tions."
