Why Grow Old?
Make Vacation Suit You

this time of high taxes and high
cost of living, fewer and fewer
folks have money to spend on a
vacation. Therefore weigh what
you do carefully.
What kind of vacation will be
most beneficial is as varied as the
individuals who plan it. If seeing
new places and the spirit Of ad-
venture are strong enough in you
to make up for the wear and tear
of long hurried motor trip, then
take one. On the other hand, II
you are truly fatigued and long to
lie in the sun, stay at home and
do that.
The sheer joy of sticking ones
tongue out at an alarm clock and
awakening each day with the
knowledge that you can do with
that "a hours just what you want
lis a fine vacation for many people
Maybe it would be better to stay
lat home and spend a week end
at the seashore, a lovely inn or q
good hotel in the city For many
women who have young children
and do their own work, maid foH
two weeks would be a grand
change.
| Anyway, take q vacation, and
during that time do no work and
forget your worries. They will be
there waiting for you when you
get back. There is no. use taking
Ia vacation unless you are in the,
vacation mood. If you are going
to be grim about it stay at homs
and save your money.

At this time of year even the
most conservative humans have a
touch of wanderlust. We long to
shed our old selves along with our
winter clothes for a while.
The idea of a gondola in the
moonlight, faraway shores, the
aroma of foreign food and atmos-
phere seem very intriguing. II
you do not take. your daydreaming
this far you at least look forward
to seeing new places in your own
country, of having a change of
pace, of living a bit differently for
Ia short time.
Every one should have a vaca-
Ition each year. Every one deserves
Ia little time when the constant
and usual responsibilities are
dropped and we have time to catch
up with life and with ourselves.
You should have a vacation once
a year even if you take it at home
Planning a vacation fof the
family is a difficult job. What will
tire young children out will
exhaust the parents, although the
idea may seem nice in anticipa-
ton. There is nothing more tir-
ing than young children on a trip.
Then, too, what may be fathers
idea of a vacation may not be
mothers at all.
I suppose the best plan is to
weigh all factors carefully and
then compromise or take turns
planning the yearly vacation. In

Beauty
Notes

John Robert Powers. whose
syndicated column on matters
pertaining to good looks, charm
and health. appears in The Star
dropped by Washington the other
day.
Mr.. Powers Is years ago pio-
neered the idea Of a clearing
house" for models; then, in rapid
succession, a charm school" for
women of all age groups and in
comes, a line of cosmetics, and a
syndicated column, Secrets of
Charm, which is carried by more
than 400 newspapers in the United
States, and is even translated
into Chinese. Japanese, Spanish
and German.
Mr.. Powers says that women
should think of their beauty prob
lens as job to be done and not
as an ordeal" 1t is an Inner
glow" that must be cultivated.
THE most important thing
woman wears is her expression,
claims Mr.. Powers. A cool, calm
and collected appearance regis
ters on a persons face. Beauty
comes from within and women
would do well to concentrate on
developing that rather than the
outer glow just from. cosmetics.
With the circus in town we
think one Of Mr.. Powers many
interesting comments apropos.
Several years ago on a radio show
he interviewed Beverly Kelley, a
circus publicity man, who in
formed him that the big top would
enjoy one Of its biggest years be-
cause they had found the ugliest
woman in the world as an attrac-
ton.
j On interviewing her, Mr.. Kelley
told Mr.. Powers, "the more
talked to her the more I was con-
. vinced she was one of the most
beautiful women I had ever met. :"
She had an Inner glow" as she
talked of educating her two chill
Idren, and her life with her hus-
band.
It is the woman herself who can
make herself unattractive, thinks
Mr.. Powers.
The ''you' look is the look Mr..
Powers stresses. This does not
mean rubber stamp" appear
ance nor one that proclaims to
the world that clothes make the
woman" They don't.
/ A tip to young brides! Mr..
Powers says you should look as
attractive early in the morning as
you did on the first date with your
husband. He may not tell you
when you look sloppy-but he un-
doubtedly resentS it, so it is up to
you to look pretty and we'll

If you, like many young people,
especially girls. would like to know
how to revive trading in
your crowd or town, 1t is helpful
to know how dance mixing expert
ments have worked out elsewhere.
Here are three true stories of sue
cess and failure:
At Private School A, before
spring prom. the girls giving the
party decided to surprise escorts
(who were not used to program
dances). So they lined up all the
dances ahead. handed over the
Ifilled-in programs prom night.

was as lovely as the girls formals,

time. Boys hesitated to follow
through. Some were embarrassed.
Others made it a joke. A few re-
fused. So, as hostesses, there was
nothing the girls could do except
to stay with their men, sorry that
the program dance plan had no
chance to succeed.
/ At Public School B. at another
girl-given party which is a great
date success, annually, an ad-
vance warning system works well.
Boys are told. when invited, that
they may look forward to a
chance to dance with variety Of
"keen queens Meanwhile, a
girls committee takes charge Of
advance bookings. All dance
trades are worked out ahead. The
central committee sees to it that
there are no blanks on programs
for less popular girls or boys.
They do not assign too many
problem dancers to any one boy
or girl. They juggle merry mix
| ture of all types Of partners: this
formula gives plenty Of bounce
to the ounce" AS Chairman Estelle
rejoiced, this spring: This way
there are no wallflowers, no boys
trying to hide around the refresh
ments. With program planning, II
| it's understood ahead, you can
have at least 6 or Z partners even
if you are not what could be called
popular"
At Senior High School c. dance
trading takes its natural course. in
an easy-breezy way. At Senior
Prom, most couples like to trade
dances. on programs planned
ahead, within their own groups,
the average "give-away" to other
partners is about one third Of all
dances. At less formal parties, at

Everybody Has Advice For Louis
But Nobody Offers To Help Him

couldn't have been in our time
Jackie Robinson with the Dodgers
if there hadn't been a Joe Louis
| first"
Well, what about Joe Louis? He
has been all the writer's and
preachers have said he was but
what has it meant to him in tang
ible things. How has the public
showed its appreciation?
During his life as fighter,
Louis has helped practically all
who asked of him He is in trouble
now with the government over
his taxes, and there are many who
believe he returned to the ring
after announcing he would quit
after the second Walcott fight
which he won, in order to square
things with Uncle Sam.
Louis has appeared at benefits
I to help all kinds of causes; he
gave close to 100000 to Army
and Navy Relief; he toured camps
during the last war at home and
abroad to entertain troops. He
has made many men rich, and he
| has helped numerous friends es-
tablish themselves in business. He
brought respectability to boxing,
and sustained the game for many
years. But what has he received?
AS AL Monroe was wont to say,
II may be wrong, but :" I can
not recall anybody ever giving Joe
Louis an automobile and a lot of
valuable presents. Has anybody
ever paid off the mortgage on his
home? Has anybody ever thought
j of establishing a trust fund for
his children? Has anybody ever
given a real Day for Joe Louis?
The. champion must think about
these things as he reflects over
the last 16 years and thinks of
what has been said about him, and
of what he has tried to do. This
must have cut deep as he has
seen, and even supported programs
to honor others who have flashed
into the limelilght for contribut-
ing far less than he has to public
morale and interracial goodwill.
1t is doubtful if Joe would want
it now, because at this point such
would smack of a benefit, and the
champion has proved that he is
not looking for charity. But when
they paid off Larry Doby's mort
gage, no one considered it charity.
Just the same, it may not be too
late for us to stop talking about
how great Joe was, how he ought
to quit fighting, and a lot of other
trash, and join hands to do some
thing really nice for the big fell
low.
In the meantime, this reporter
will string along with the champ
in whatever he wants to do. Ma
turally, none of us want to see
him get hurt or humiliated, but he
probably has been hurt and hu-
inflated more by the treatment he
has received, especially from many
he has helped, than he could ever
be by a Marciano or anyone else
in the ring.

ON THE LIMB
BY George Lyle, Jr.


And some of them were dillies.
Here at home we had the How
ard-Lincoln clash. Baltimore had
the Morgan-Virginia State go,
while down in Atlanta were Morris
Brown and Clark. Fayetteville
State Teachers College down in
North Carolina took on Livingstone
College, and Maryland State tried
Shaw out in Martinsville, Virginia.
Speaking of the Maryland State
Raiders = Coach Vernon Mccain
is recovering from that freak acci-
dent in which he and Star End
Johnny McDaniels of Chicago were
severely burned by asphalt when
the truck overturned on his car.
Johnny, a rangly lad who liter
ally boWled me over one day on
the practice field, also is coming
along nicely.
. Morris Brown bounced back af-
ter being dumped from the ranks
of the undefeated, to trouble the
Benedict College eleven, and Fay
etteville nosed out Elizabeth City,
but who held the crying bowl of
the Aggies of North Carolina?
Feelings hereabouts were strong
1y pro-Lincoln for the T'hanksgiv-
ing Day game and Lincoln it
was by a score of 1870. It was a
battle worth seeing.
Speaking of Morris Brown -
wonder whatever became of a guy
named Murdock who Jumped
Morgan and went there some 20
years ago? And if Professor Clinch
is still there? My roornie and I
spent a very pleasant evening
there during the Christmas holidays
one year.
And do you recall famous
family in football that dominated
the scene at Hampton, Virginia
State and Clark? The Baker boys
- Francis, Walter, Elmer and a
fourth whose name eludes me at
the moment.
Elmer, the youngest, was - so
I've been told - the greatest of
them all, although there are many
who would dispute that. All of
them had been taught by their
father to kick a football, and the
fuel that they put on (the older
ones who were attending Hampton
and Virginia State concurrently)
was something to see.
Now one of them coaches at one
of Atlanta's high schools while the
other is in Lexington, KY. Cat last
reports anyway = but whare's
Elmer?
Tempest and Fury
Lots of repercussiOns have
arisen over the choice for the
Rookie of the Year award. AS you
know, it was given to Gil McDou-
gald of the New York Yankees.
The selecting committee over
looked a lot of promising guys,
including one Orestes Minoso.
For the record it should be noted
that the poll run by the Sporting
News set the fleet Chicago White
Sox outfielder on top with a mar
gin of twenty-five votes over Gil.
Minnie" compiled an amazing
record. He led the league in stolen
bases, was runner-up in batting
with a 1926 average, and blasted
out the most triples in the loop.
Down in Cuba, Joe Black, for
mer Morgan star who played base
ball with the Baltimore Elite
Giants before going to st. Paul,
won 3-2 game in which he poled
a homer.

who would agree with this opening
statement, but there are probably
not too many who have really con-
Sidered how true the statement is.
This reporter was present with his
friends, Dan Burley and Henry
Brown, the eminent cartoonist, at
Bacon's Casino in Chicago when
Joe ouis had his first fight. He
has followed his career ever since
= in and out of the ring.
Hundreds of writer's have told
in deathless prose how much Joe
Louis has meant to boxing; to
his race; to his country and to
the human race, but few have
bothered to write much about
what Louis has meant to himself in
terms of security, which is impor-
tant along with prestige and COM
munity service.
Red Smith, the New York sports
writer, makes point when he
says, "There were great Negro
fighters and great Negro athletes
before Joe Louis. Joe Cans and
Sam Langford and Duke Slater and
Paul Robson and Isaac Murphy.
But they weren't just athletes;
they were Negro athletes, which
was something else again. Ask Sam
Langford.
"That changed with Louis" Red
continued. Jackie Pobinson feels
ne carried a tremendous response
bility into organized baseball, and
he made good. He did so and he has
every reason to feel so. And yet it
is quite possibly true that there

of Johnny Bright's stay at Drake,
at which time HAWAI- was coaching
there.
After overcoming his complex,
Bright began to blossom out as a
great player and great compe-
titor, and then came the day of
that Oklahoma game.
The Missouri Conference has de-
cided to take no action on the in
cident which put an end to a
rather promising collegiate career
- one which was halted not in
any spirit of fairplay and decency,
as is supposed to be taught and
practiced on our playing fields, but
by a sneak attack - the type for
which Americans everywhere con-
demned the Japs.
Somewhere I read what another
coach had to say about the situa-
ton and he feels that somewhere
in the coaching set-up the word
was out to "get Bright"
In This Corner
Bob Baker and Clarence Henry
swapped punches for TV on Fri
day. Baker, an undefeated fighter
from Pittsburgh, and Henry, the
cannonading slugger from Los An
geles, were cunning for match
with Ez Charles.
Gil Turner, Philly welterweight
sensation, convinced me with his
showing against Bernie Docusen,
in which he battered the Creole
until Docusen was unable to ans
wer the bell for the seventh, that
he is really ready.
And despite the improvement
which Kid Gavilan showed in halt
ing Tony Janiro, think Gil can
take him.
Anyway, I've gotten on the band
wagon because 1 feel that the kid
has proved himself against sea-
soned campaigners and has demon
strated his ability to take and give
a punch.
He got nationwide publicity
when it was announced from the
Los Angeles Arena, via TV, that
Gil is to meet Mario Trigo of LA
here on December 3.
