Things That
Interest Women
By BESSIE F. BELL

How do you Look?
II you want to look attractive,
bathing is a great asset in that
direction. 1t makes no difference
what season of the year it is;
whether it is Spring, Summer, Fall
or Winter, there are new duties
with each season.
For each of us Career girls, home
executive as we'll as mothers, the
high tension of World problems
makes the need for relaxation more
important today than ever before.
When you are feeling completely
wilted, its time to relax and take
life in your stride by bathing your
way to beauty, health and a more
pleasant way of living.
Here are few simple old fash
ion rules about bathing, and they
are important for beauty and at
Effectiveness.
For ones health, plain old fash
ion soap and water is most i'm
portant. This is great aid in free
ing the body Of offensive odors.
When you battle, go step farth-
er by pompering yourself. Make a
production of it. A luxurious bath
is relaxing and identifying. It
makes you feel fresh, and inspira-
tional. Besides, a daily bath not
only enables the proper functioning
of the oil and perspiratory glands
by removing surface dirt and skin
scales, it prevents clogging of the
oil glands and reduces the danger
of infection should one injure the
skin.
Whether you think so or not, the
temperature of your bath is i'm
portant. A cold bath will stimulate
one, and warm bath will cleanse
the body. The warm bath should
be INDUCED in upon retiring, rath-
er then upon arising. The: warm
bath is especially recommended
when one is fatigued as it has a
soothing effect on the nerves.
One should battle before meals,
but if the meal cannot wait, then
for your health's sake wait from
two to three hours after your meal
before taking your bath. This. is
important.
A NOTE FROM FASHION.
Speaking Of the most used color
of the season, some women it is
quite suited. For others not so.
and all too often they wear is SIM
ply because it happens to be the
fashions color for the season. All
of US are lucky this season. The
color is an all-purpose neutral, and
if handled with intelligence can be
most flattering to everyone.

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
Editor Percy Greene,
Jackson Advocate,
jackson, Mississippi.
noc El:A

Dear Editor Greene:
Some few years ago you were
so kind as to publish in your news
paper an article which / wrote
concerning the lack Of support
which the current case for equal
ization Of teachers salaries was
receiving from those who stand
most to benefit by it.
Believing that you are forever
ready to take a stand for those
things which are first and right
for our people, I again wish to
call upon you to publish an article
for me.
Though at first sight, it may
seem that the article which is to
follow is a response to mere per-
sonal indignation, after discussing
the matter with few personal
friends and number of acquaint-
ances, | have been unable to draw
the conclusion that it is also the
expression Of public sentiment
among our race towards an issue
which is very close to US all.
extend my utmost gratitude
to you for whatever consideration
you may give this article.
at Happens Again
Il cannot too strongly urge the
members of my race, to stay here
in their good homes in Missis-
sippi, our own native state where
we are understood and hold the
friendship Of the white people,"
declares Perry Howard, Washing
ton attorney and "so-called" Ne
gro leader, following a recent con-
ference with Gov. Fielding l..
Wright.
An account Of Mr.. Towards re-
marks was published in the De-
cember 7th issue of the Clarion
Ledger under the heading, estate
Negroes Urged To Remain In
South"
The very nature Of this article
makes it imperative that some
comment be made with reference
to it if we who are working to
improve the economic and educa-
tional standards of our race are
not to be beguiled by loosely
spoken words of certain unqauili-
fled Negroes who profess to be
our leaders.
In Mr.. Towards reference to
Good homes" in Mississippi, l
wonder if he had in mind the ar
chitectural structures which shell
ter civilized people from the wea-
Their and lend comfort to their
daily lives or whether he had ref
erence to the socio-economic set
ting in which those structures are
found. If Mr.. Towards reference
were to the latter, then | would |
recommend that he familiarize |
himself more thoroughly with
them before venturing to offer
advice to his race from his "far
as / can get from Mississippi"
fortress in Washington where he
so carefully arranges to spend |
most of his time.
Mr.. Howard should also remem-
Der that there is but one kind of |
Negro who holds the friendship
of the southern white people and |
that is the kind of Negro who I
also holds his mouth, meekly ac-
cepts that which is offered him,
and dares himself to ask for more. |
We have too many Negroes of |
that kind among us. They are
left-overs from a period in our
history which we are trying to |
outgrow.
That brings me to the second

pleasure tbs for me to say (.
A MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS
TO EVERYBODY, and in saying
it we acknowledge our gratitude
first to the ALMIGHTY, and then
to all those whose good wishes,
backing, favors and support it has
been ours to have down through
the closing year We say it
with the same depth and fervor
to all those to whom it has been
our opportunity to render a SER
vice, who we have given our back
ing, favors, and support during
the closing year to the rich,
the poor, the black, the white, the
learned and the un-learned, to ev-
erybody who has been with us
during the year UP AND
DOWN PARISH STREET To
all and everybody, here, there, and
everywhere, in the mellow mo-
ments of my Fish and Beer, in
the language and meaning of
Rudyard Kipling, l wish to say:
Call a truce, the, to our labors-
let us
feast with friends and neighbors,
and be merry as the custom of
our caste;
For if faint and forced the
laughter"
and if sadness follow after,
We are richer by one hooking
Christmas past.
Again, and again, and again, A
Merry, Merry Christmas to every
body.

FALSE ALARM

Nashua, N. H. = Seeing man
showing another into a trunk of
an automobile and then driving
away, an excited citizen called
police and the chase was on. The

curb. One garage mechanic en-
erged from the car, another crawl
ed out Of the trunk = he had been
seeking an elusive squeak. Police
retired, red-faced.

MEDICINE: Mechanical Heart
Mechonicol heort

Sometime soon a person whose heart
has stopped beating, who is 'clinically
dead" may be brought back to life
again by a new mechanical heart and
lung machine.
Such machine is being kept ready
in an operating room at HahAemann
Hospital in Philadelphia for its first
emergency test on humans.
It has worked successfully on dogs.
It kept one dog alive for II minutes,
supplying its blood with oxygen. The
dog recovered completely after its
own heart took over normally.
The new machine and its poten-
tialihes were described by DR.. Charles
P. Bailey, heart specialist in Hahne-
mann Hospital, to the Ohio chapter Of
the American College Of Chest Physi-
clans in Cleveland.
Amazingly compact, the glass-en-
closed machine is the size Of a small
console radio.
Through plastic tubes, it draws dark
red, waste-laden blood from the veins.
A steel lung gives the blood oxygen.

they won every race every day for

their horses ran out of the money.
