limitation of term of office of the
national president, the election of
nine members at large to the
board of directors, an auditor for
the church, and a compulsory sub
sCription for enrolled pastors to

ton were DR.. II. II. Humes of
Mississippi, the Rev. Marshall l.
Shepard Of Philadelphia, the Rev
Gardner Taylor of Brooklyn, the
Rev. J. Raymond Henderson of
Los Angeles, the Rev. L. Evans of
Nashville. Tenn, and the Rev. L.
K. Jackson of Gary, Ind.
Heading the fight against the
action was the Rev. I. A. Thomas
of Evanston. Hailed as a great
new move for progress" the new
constitution followed the reelec-
ton Of DR.. D. V. Jemison of Sell
ma. Ala, as national president
and the reelection of the complete
slate of national officers.
The new document calls for
these big changes:
l. Appointment Of paid exc

orders of the board Of directors

DDS of registration and Of receiv-
ing convention funds, and have
complete supervision of the same

directors. He shall devote his full
time to the duties of his office
and shall have no other employ
ment. The executive secretary
shall receive, deposit and disburse
all funds designated for the con-
vention except such funds as may
be directed to be sent to other
boards"
The executive secretary can be
removed only by the board of dir
ectors.
At its meeting in January, 1852,
in Hot Springs, Ark, the board
will select the first secretary.
.. "A president of this Conven-
ton shall not be eligible for re-
election after he has served four
successive terms. until at least
one year has lapsed."

life.

often eliminate hang nails, as well

Here are Tips
For Manicure
The first step In the manicure 10
the removal Of old polish. An easy
way to do II Is to saturate q
quilted cotton square with remover
and press against each nah. This
viii dissolve the polish 30 Il can
be whiSked Of with one or two
strokes.
Next, shape the nails with an
emery board. using first the coarse
side, then the fine one. File from
the outer edges to the center TO
prevent chipping and breaking.
Use even strokes, as short, ehoppy
ones are damaging.
Oval tips are most becoming TO
every nail. Sharp and pointed
nails give q dangerous look to q
woman's nails, and they viii also
break Off more easily than oval
shaped ones.
Don't file your nails too closely
at the sides as they may develop
extreme sensitivity. and don't try
to wear them too long II your
nails are brittle and break easily.
It's better to have them all uni
form, and shorter than uneven In
length.
Brittle nails require extra oil,
and hence the oily polish removsrs
as well as nail oils are best for
this. You may also find special
protective cream or lotion for very
brittle nails so polish won't be too
drying on them.
Soaking the nails In a bowl Of
warm water will soften the cuticle.

Hands should be thoroughly

Moons and tips may show. or

Keep an orange stick wrapped In

quickly.
Follow Simple Routine
For PedlcuTe
It's not hard at all TO give your
self a pedicure II q simple routine
is followed. II you give yourself
at least one q week, the nails will
start looking nice very shortly and
you can cut down on the time Of
the pedicure and still have feet
as well groomed as hands.
Let the feet soak In warm,
Soapy water. and then wash thor
oughly. A pumice stone Is excel
lent for removing old skin which
may harden and cause painful cal
louses and corns. This is rubbed
all over the foot Just as you would

After soaking and washing. toe

as they may easily cause damage.
File toe nails straight across. Do
not shape the corners as this may
cause ingrowing toenails. :,

Try picking up marbles with

Partitions Can Add

Now we have dining areas combined

into q section Of the living room.
Whether you build, remodel or
just redecorate, bear some of these

methods used. but they need not be

as well as an addition to the per-
sonality Of the home.
Screens can be covered with
menus you've collected. What could
be more appropriate for a screen
used to enclose a dining area1
Another type OF partition which
is very useful is a chest that can
easily be made by simple carpentry
work. Use this to separate the kitch-
en- from the dinette nook. It's much
less expensive than a wall, and
you'n get table top space to help in
serving the meal. as well as the
chest-sheh itself TO help store dishes
and table accessories.
Chests used as partitions can be
used to separate living and dining
area. and II may even be used TO
section off the living room for
library or music activities.

Avoid Spring Cleaning Woes
By Planning Work Schedule
By Ertta Haley

THESE seasonal housecleanings
i scare most families, and It's
no wonderl The whole house Is In
q great uphea2al from attic to
cellar. and mothers so 'iredl
The cleaning doesn't have to be
done In a day or two, or even q
week, especially II you have .
large home. Why not parcel II Jut
among several weeks and thus
save yourself and the family their
loss Of comfort7
II you have two regular cleaning
days every week, you can plan to
do some of the extra jobs on those
days which you would ordinarily
save for the seasonal cleaning.
Now. when you have one or two
days for laundry: plan to wash
some curtains, draperies and slip
covers along with the regular
laundry. This Is far easier on you
than doing all these big items at
one time.
II you plan TO do one or two rooms
at one time. this is far better than
uprooting every room in the house
for two or three days. With your
energies as well as work budgeted
over q period Of time. you'll feel
much better. and viii thus accom-
plish better results.
Are there a lot OF things to be put
away for the warm months ahead?
Gather your boxes. paper and la
bells ahead Of time. and then pack
things away as they become clean
from your laundry or cleaner.
Days on which you ordinarily
have only light work can be made
q bit heavier with some Of the spe-
cial seasonal Jobs like q thorough
washing Of the woodwork as well
as windows, rugs and draperies.

Nylon lace curtains wash easily
and dry quickly. They usually need
only slight pressing at the hens.
Many Draperies Wash
With Complete Safety
Use common sense in washing
draperies. II you want satisfying
results. Unless they are color-faSt
and pre-shrunk, draperies probably
should not be washed as you may
lose the whole investment in them.
Lined draperies are usually too
much Of a job to attempt at home
unless the Innings can be easily re-
moved and replaced.

Your CurtaIned windows
Clean. sparkling windows and i'm

A few minutes washing in the
machine Is sufficient to clean most
Of your curtains. Most Of them need

most Of the SCOT and dust and then
be whiSked into the machine. For
glass or ruffled cotton curtains
give them two minutes time. then

Overlooking the washing machine
when you're doing drapes may pre-
vent them from becoming cleaned
thoroughly. It's foolish to overload

medium warm water Is sufficient
for most Grapes. Thorough rinsing
is in order. Before putting through
the wringer. fold the draperies nat
to prevent unnecessary wrinkling.
Drying draperies In a shady
place will prevent undue loss Of
color. II you have an ironer. you'n
find this excellent for pressing
them artistically.
Heavy and lined draperies which
are not due for cleaning can be
easily handled by using a vacuum
