CHARM
By Lou SWarZ

) New York (GlobaD One of the
most talked of charm assets is
iclothes, but some women just don't
sSeem to understand when to wear
swhat and what to wear when. So
slet's think about it a little:
Begin with lounging at home in
Syour free-loving duster, lounging
pajamas or robe, or just plain
.sdress. Retire after that delightful
bath and toilet care, in your paja-
mas-not the lounging ones, but
your sleeping one sof nylon or soft
silk, or the gown of your choice.
Morning finds you ready for
breakfast or ready to prepare it
lin that simple house dress or hoov-
Ger apron, something easy to slip
,into following the proper bath
chores.
Off to the job-which usually
scalls for business attire (unless
you are in the theatrical field)-
simple tailored, semi-tailored dress,
suit or skirt and blouse with few
accessories, comfortable, sensible
docking shoes. Your hair should be
ssensibly styled, and be sure your
hair, clothes, shoes and stockings
are always clean. AS to nail polish,
use your own good judgment. The
same goes for makeup and per-
fume. Avoid being over-dressed.
Perhaps your job calls for social
activities of some sort. In that
case, your mode of dress need not
be quite so conservative. You could
enjoy dresses, suits, skirts and
blouses that are a little ''dressy"
but study yourself to see what you
can wear best.
If you are required to wear uni
forms on your job, keep enough
of them so that you may look clean
and fresh at all times.
To sum up: wear becoming, SIM
pie styles, avoiding harsh or too
brilliant colors, and above all else,
keep clean.

her return to Monrovia.
Asked what she found most in

Bill Aiding
Korean Vets
To Be Aired
Will Come Up For
Debate In House
This Monday
BY HARRY SNYDER

WASHINGTON R - A bill ex-
tending veterans benefits to men
and women who joined the armed
forces since fighting began In Ko-
rea on June q, 1850 comes up for
House action on Monday.
The measure - carrying help
along the lines given veterans of
World War Ills subject to 90
minutes debate. Then-with no op-
portunity for any change to be
made-it can be voted up or down.
But if a roll call is required this
will not be taken until Thursday.
The "take-it-or-leave-it" method
of presentation grew out of the
only controversial provision in the
bill.
The measure provides that edu-
cation benefits shall be paid d.
rectly to the veterans instead of
to the colleges as is the practice
presently.
Rep. league 3D. Texas1, author
of the bill. claims it was written
''out of consideration for the vet
Grams and the taxpayers" and as
remedy for abuses discovered
in the present veteran training
program.
Representative Springer (R.-nl. }
claims 1t discriminates against the
private colleges of the nation.
Springer's plan to offer an amend
ment TO the bill on the floor was
stymied by the committees de-
cision to ask the House to suspend
its rules and pass the bill in one
action.
The bill provides an education
allowance of $1l0 a month for vet
Grams without dependents or $3.50
for those with dependents who
enroll in a full-time institutional
course.
The hah-time schooling allow
ance would be $50 and $40.
From these allowances, veterans
would have to meet all of their
education costs, including subsist-
ence.
For apprenticeship or other on
the-job training, allowances of $40
and sos would be made. On-the-
farm training allowances would
be sos and $120.
Other provisions:
Education benefits would be Civ
en- on the basis of l days of
training for each day of service
since June q, 1850, regardless of
where it was performed, with the
maximum period amounting to SO
calendar months.
Veterans eligible under the World
War ii program would also be
able to use the new program with
benefits to run no longer than IS
months.
The education program must be
started within two years after dis
charge from the service and fin
iShed within seven years.
Only one change in a training
program would be permitted.
Av0cational or recreational in
structon would be barred unless
veterans prove it will be of use in
a genuine occupation.
Schools or courses must have
been in existence for two years be-
fore veterans are enrolled and prof.
1t trade schools must have as per
cent n0n-veteran enrollments.
In the field of housing. the bill
continues the same benefits as
those now glyen-guaranty of home
loans up TO 90 per cent with a
maximum Of 81 500. guaranty OF
business loans Of s. 600 and direct
housing loans In non metropolitan
areas.
But IL calls for such loans to
be withheld unless new construc-
tion IS guaranteed TO be I'D 10
minimum requirements for at
least one year.
