July Is Time to Keep
Cool With Perfume

you will want third bottle of
the fragrant liquid in your
desk drawer so that you may
use it during the workday to
give you a lift when you need
it most. And in addition to
your scented bath accessories,
of course you must own per-
fume.
Some women have the mis-
taken idea that perfume is too
heavy a fragrance product to
be worn in Summer, but that
is a fallacy. Perfume, per Sc,
is not "heavy"-rather certain
types of perfume are heavy,
such as orientals and semi
orientals. And so, you might
prefer a floral, woody-mossy-
leafy, or modern blend for this
time of year, for perfumes in
those claSsifications are light
and alry-just perfect for
warm weather wearing.
And be sure that you have a
purse flacon of perfume to
carry in your handbag for
touch-ups during the day. For.
you know, perfume lasts no
longer on the skin than three
to four hours. You will want to
repleniSh your perfume each
time you reapply your lipstick.
And just as important as
owning products of fragrance.
is USING them. Above all.

If ever you will appreciate the
benefits of wearing fragrance,
now is the time.

Sen. Curtis Comments
On Loyalty DismissuIs

Senator Carl T. Curtis stated to.
day that a recent decision of the
United States Supreme Court re-
stricting dismissals of Federal
employees in loyalty cases requires
new legislation by the Congress
during the current session.
The Supreme Court, in the case
Of Cole VS. the Chairman of the
Civil Service Commission, decided
June IL, 1856, provides that
government employees can be
summarily dismissed for security
reasons only in cases where an en-
ployee's job is sensitive. This
could mean" said Curtis, 'that a.
bout $4,000 government jobs are
sensitive to national security, and
the other 100000 Federal posi-
tions would not be classified as
sensitive"
There is before the Congress"
pointed out Curtis, Legislation to
clarity the situation and establish
equitable procedures to determine
loyalty. 1t contains appropriate
safeguards and should be enacted

Ak-Sor-Ben Gives
Funds To
C~oas> Ferris

The Douglas County Fair at
Water 100, Nebraska has received
$500 for fair grounds improve
ments from the Knights of Ak-Sar-
Ben. s-f..
Granting of $500 to each of
Nebraska's county fairs is being
continued for the third consecu-
tive year by Ak-Sar-Ben, Omaha
civic organization. This is the
latest of a series of projects of
financial assistance to county
fairs, and has resulted in state
wide improvements valued at
nearly a half million dollars, ac-
cording to J. L. Thurmond, a
Governor of Ak-Sar-Ben and
chairman Of its Public Affairs
Committe. The grants are made
possible by funds from Ak-Sar-
Ben's annual race meeting.
The popular county fair i'm
provement program follows the
"dollar-matching" principle, IN
that Ak-Sar-Ben agrees to put up
$780,, provided the people of each
county also raise at least an equal
amount. In 1855, most Of the IA
counties that took advantage of
the grants raised far more than
$500, resulting in greatly in
creased facilities. Many new
buildings were constructed, in
Guiding livestock exhibit build
ings, All activities buildings,
dining rooms and kitchens, grand
stands, stages and many other
needed facilities.
In addition to the $4,000 Ak
Sar-Ben sets aside each year for
the new improvement program,
it makes available approximately
$4,000 a year for county fair
premiums, part through the State
Racing Commission and part paid
directly to exhibitors by Ak-Sar-
Ben. According to Mr.. Thur
mond, Ak-Sar-Ben plans to con-
tinue these projects as long as the
money is available for it.
President Morton Steyer and
Secretary R. D. Harrington of the
Douglas County Agricultural So
ciety said the Ak-Sar-Ben grant
and the county's matching fund
will be used for the installation
of well, electric pump, and wash
rack.

Creighton
Grad Gets
Army Aword

A Creighton graduate and for
mer omahan has been awarded
the Army's Commendation Ribbon
with medal pendant.
The recipient was Lieut.. Col.
Wendall T. Jackson, South San
Francisco, California, the son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Bert A. Jackson,
1884 South Thirty-second Street.
Colonel Jackson received his
doctor Of dental surgery degree
from Creighton University in
1913.
This commendatiOn was the
result of Colonel Jackson's dis
cOvery Of a method for using
dental plastic to replace wooden
splintS and plaster casts in cases
of bone fracture. Design and de-
velopment Of this splint is cred
tied by the Army with "contribu-
ting in great measure to improve
ment in techniques of treatment
and faster rehabilitation of pa
tients."
Originally the method was
used only in cases involving
broken fingers, but the technique
has since been used in fractures
of the bones of the feet and lar
ger bones in the arms and legs.
Because these plastic casts are
much lighter than conventional
plaster casts men were often en-
abled to remain OH duty during

Robert Rossen makes a picture he
goes through much painstaking
research to see that it is authentic
c'.-1s-'1 - its most minute Sr~rs.Isi
and since Alexander The Great"
was to be his most important and
spectacular picture to date, he
was especially thorough in recrea-
ting the historical background Of
Alexander's time. The picture
which was filmed in Technic0lor
and Cinema-Scope will open T&ss
day at the State Theatre through
United Artists release.
Briefly, this is the historical
background against which the
dramatic story of alexander
The Great unfolds:
The early part of Alexander
the Great is set against the back
ground Of unrest which pervaded
the Hellenic world-with Athens
as its center of culture and poll
tics-during the fourth century
B. c. Two hundred years earlier
Persia had infiltrated the Aegean
coast and in the early part of the
fifth century had attacked Greek
territory. Against these cam
paigns Athens led a confedera-
ton Of Greek states and inflicted
defeats on Persia at the Battles
of Marathon, SalamiS and Plataea.
When the three great states of
Athens, Sparta and Thebes failed
to establish a federated empire,
the time became ripe for an out
side conqueror to take advantage
of the weakness of the divided
Greek world.
This lot fell on Philip of Mace
donia. Although he was consider
ed by the cultured Greeks to be
little more than a barbarian, he
was strong and ambitious mill
tary leader. When Philip became
king Of Macedonia he at once
established authority over the
turbulent Macedonian clans and
was the first ruler in Europe to
establish a nationally conscrip-
ted army which he trained on
highly professional lines.

Urban League 'Biggies' Fuss
Over Award TO Sen. Lehman

Cries of non-partisanship were
being heard louder than usual
from the Urban League as pot
shots we're being taken at both
local and national organizations.
First rumblings came from un-
identified members Of the local
board who did not look too kindly
on the Urban League of Greater
New York honoring Senator Her
bert H. Lehman, as "the conscience
of the Senate and the nation in
the fight for full equality Of OPP
portunity for all Americans"
Ready to stand and be counted,
however, was Atty Joseph A.
Bailey, Republican designee for
Congress in the 10th c. d.
IN A PUBLIC statement MIR.
Bailey asserted, "As one closel
interested in the supposedly nor
partisan efforts of the Urban
League Of Greater New York, |
wish to protest the fact that the
League directors see fit at this
time to create a special award for
Senator Herbert H. Leman who
is expected to be Democratliberal
candidate for reelection.
II know that some leaders Of
the Urban League are strongly
opposed to making this political
award and to allowing their or
ganization to be used for political
purposes. But | know also that
because Of their positions they do
not wish to make public state
ment at this time"
Further fuel was added with the
announcement Thursday that Rob
ert w. Bowling, president Of the
National Urban League, had form
ed a business mems committee to
promote Governor Averell Harri-
mans nomination for President.
