Beauty Tip
For Noses

II your nose is large, says
Hollywood makeup expert,
Max Factor, camoufiage its
prominence. Cheek rouge ex-
tended close to the nose
points UP its size. Never pass
the midcheek line with rouge
and extend its color out to
the hairline. Pluck and pencil
brows at least one eyes
length apart. Brows which
are close together add length
to the nose.
Shorten a nose by applying
foundation makeup one
shade darker than usual I'M
der tip and blend. Likewise
use this foundation to dimin-
ish the size of a wide nose by
shading it along the sides and
blend. Wear lifted bangs,
puffs or curls, to balance a
large nose. Hair pulled on
the face and forehead sets
the large nose in stark relief.
Learn every grooming tech
niuue which will add beauty
to your face.

Put 1t in your pocket
that is the knowledge OF a

This revolutionary Ian
ruage technique, called
"Turnword" makes a new
language a part Of every

around In your pocket or
purse, and learned at the
rate of six words or phrases
Q day.
The learning can be ac-
complished during the
wasted minutes waiting for
buses, trains, lunch, doc

ments. People planning
trips to Germany, Italy,
Spain, Sweden, France or
Latin America can learn
basic sentences within a
month before leaving.
"Turnword" is an inno-
walton of Bengt Liljestrand,
Of Sweden, and is distrib-

Each Of the five Ian

Our younger generation is

1T knows too much. and

fourth annual Togetherness

Laying the blame at the

been "traumatized by quasi
Freudian talk" Mr.. Mayes
warned that these same
parents are robbing their
daughters and granddaugh-

foundation for maturity"
He called for "a return to
the earlier disciplines, that
while we advance with psy-
chiatry and child psychology,
we must not retrogress with
fundamental standards of
behavior and decency; that
we are not obliged to con-
done rudeness in the young.

to write script, to add and to

Declaring that "our toler-
ance has perhaps gone too
far" when parents make easy
excuses for the juvenile delin-
quent and the teen-age mar
rage, Mr.. Mayes suggested
a new definition for "togeth-
erness."

Danger of Soviet MiscuIcuIution

The men In the Kremlin
could make no greater mis-
take than to assume that
Britain at the showdown
stage will fail It's allies or
will adopt a weaker position
toward the Soviet Union than
do the other partners In the
Western alliance.
But the big problem Of the
moment is to make clear TO
the world that the Western
countries are united. 1t will
take more than mere words
to do 1t. For one thing. the
British Labor Party in Eng
land and the Democratic
Party in the United States
will each have to make a dra-
matte demonstration of faith
and confidence in its own
governments policies. More
will be required than Just
proclamations of high pur-
pose and unity. The West
will have to tell the Soviets
that, much as war is de-
plored, there may come a
time when resistance will be-
come inevitable and that the
Kremlin should not play
with fire and take risks.
Accidents can happen in
moments Of International
tension and 1t is significant
that only last week. when
Communist planes attacked
an American plane in the
Far East, widespread de-
mands arose that the fire
should be returned II any
such incidents happen again.
That's only another way of
saying that America has not
become Predetermined and
will not accept any encroach-
ment on its rights.
In the next three weeks the
Western allies have an oppor-
tunity to issue an unequivo-
cal warning. There may be
some merit in wanting to
keep on talking to the Soviet
Union in more conferences.
but there is danger in giving
the impression that the West
is afraid. The battle of the
next three weeks is psyche
logical. II Moscow gets the
impression that the West is
in an appeaSing mood and is
tirnid. then war by accident
or design may be the tragic
outcome. BY firmness in the
next three weeks the West
may avert a war.

DAVID LAWRENCE

II there Is a war in the
not far distant future-and
1t doesn't have to be a nuclear
war either-decisions made
in the next three weeks can
bring 1t on.
The coming three weeks
before the Foreign Ministers
conference is resumed can be
crucial. Mistaken attitudes
of appeasement could prove
more dangerous today than
similar policies appeared to
be at the time of the 1898
sum NIT" conference at
Munich which preceded by a
year the outbreak Of World
War II.
Few persons. generally
speaking, realize the gravity
of the situation. They look at
the outward signs Of peace
and view with indifference
the negotiations that have
been going on for six weeks
at Geneva between the East
and West. Why should there
be war, they ask. when
neither side wants it? Then
comes the usual argument
about how terrible a nuclear
war would be and how both
sides would be devastated.
Most people thereupon dis
miss the subject as academic.
What is not generally con-
sidered is that a non-nuclear
war can come as readily to-
day as 1t did in Europe in
1899 or in Korea in 1850. 1t
can come again as a result
of the same kind of bluffing
tactics which are being en-
gagged in today. Sooner or
later someone takes a chance
and assumes the other fell
low will not fight. Then war
comes. In three major in
stances in this century it
has been based on miscal-
culation of the strength and
possible reaction of the de-
mocracies of the West to
an act of aggression.
Why should Moscow mis-
calculate? For one thing
the West gives the appear
ance of disunity and of mil
itary unpreparedness. The
West is strong enough to
fight a nuclear war, but the
Soviets may have their

Effect of Communist Pressure

world and abandon the cold
war would be disastrous to
the plans Of the Kremlin's
conspirators.
When Khrushchev said
I'VE will bury you" he meant
every word. So did his prede-
cessor, Josef Stain, so did
Lenin. the Communist patron
saint. So will Khrushchev's
successors in their turn, so
long as the Communist sys-
tenn endures.
John Foster Dulles knew
there would be no reasonable
hope of coming to an agree
ment with the Russians at
any time. He based his poll
icy on that assumption. But
gradually he had to modify
the fundamentals of his
stern resistance policy In the
face Of increasing pressure
from our allies and from a
growing body of American
public opinion. There was no
alternative. But he hoped, up
to the day he was forced to
relinquish the helm, that he
could ward of the corrosion
that comes with gradual frus-
tration, could mitigate the
effect on morale that results
from repeated defeat and dis
appointment.
A stern policy demands
risks. But nothing worth
while is attainable without
risk. Is 1t worthwhile that we
keep our faith strong in the
freedoms we seek to defend2
