Feb. 14 (UP) Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt appeared today for the first time with her lips touched with lipstitk of light red shade. She explained that she had de cided to use it on advice of her ! daughter, M s. John Boettiugerli of Seattle, Washington. It takes, she said, considerable time, but added that her daughter told her practice and experience will eliminate that difficulty. The use of lip stick by the first lady follows adoption of a new hair dress, involving a fluffier wave and the trimming of the side hair so she can comb it without taking down the knot at the back of her neck.

Unloading Service' Intelligent Handling- Experienced Selling- High Prices Prompt Remittance Credit Bureau Starts Function in This City Local Office Opened Today by Thomas Thomsen, General Manager, with a 5,000 Card File. From Tuesday's Daily This morning the Credit Bureau of Plattsmouth started giving infor mation to the members, and what :i variety of information they have (ii!alu they have file. If you think St. Peter is the only one who keeps a complete record of your good qualities anel shortcom ings, you should take a peek at the information recorded on your master card in the credit bureau a com plete history of your life and activ ities recording your virtues and sins. good deeds a nil bad deeds from your birth to the present crimes com mitted, rewards received, property owned, encumbrances, children, fam ily. In fact, anything and every thing regarding your finances, habits and character, and especially your paying habits are recorded on that little master card. Inasmuch as so many, in fact, everyone in the community is vi tally interested in this organization, we interviewed the manager, Thomas Thomson so as to get the facts; and the following is an explanation of the credit bureau, its purpose, oper ation and benefit to the community. The bureau is sponsored by the Ad club. The personnel that will oper at the bureau are. Thomas Thom son, manager. Frances 1. Thomen, supervisor, Mable Smock, secretary and Elva Olson, re-corder. Purpose of Credit Bureau Practically everyone is iamiliar with the Dun & IJradstivet ratings on retailers for the benefit of whole salers. The credit bureau serves the same purpose for the retailer by giv ing essential credit niformation to them regarding their customers. A few decades ago communities were small, people remained station ary so that it was possible for a r.n r chant to know his customers inti mately; and best of all, people were honest and made every endeavor to pay their just debts. Xow people are constantly mov ing from one e-ommunity to another. They hop in a car and go to another town to trade, and it is impossible for a merchant to know anything about them. There are those how ever only a very small minority who constantly try to invent wave of avoiding paying their just debts; so consequently it is essential to have a central organization whose func tion it is to gather and compile credit information, -which is available to credit grantors so as to avoid ex tending credit to those unworthy of this privilege. Is a Credit Bureau a Col lection Agency? The local bureau will maintain a collection department witli a full time collector so as to give this ser vice to its members but this is a separate and distinct department; altho each furnishes valuable infor mation for the other, and as such they are essential to each other and supplement each other; but ca'h department is maintained separate and distinct from the other. Natur ally any accounts filed with the col lection department will be reported io tne reporting department and the members notified of the delinquency of the persons so that they will nel extend further credit until he has paid his previous ac omits. However, the purpose of the bureau is to re port credit information so as tc prevent a creditor from getting any bad accounts on his books; the pur pose of a collection department is to aid the creditor in salvaging any bad aciounts he may have. Docs the Bureau Hato People ? The bureau dots not rate a person it simply serves as a clearing house for gathering all available informa tion regarding a person's credit, re cords this in a concise manner mak ing it available to the members so that they may determine whether or not a person is worthy of credit.

However, in decid-j ing whether to extend credit or not, j I the applicant's resources, incum-j jbrances, ability, character and morals! ! as well as numerous other items, : which are kept of record in the Tiles, ; will be considered.
