An award of $50.00 is made each year by the Founda
tion to the Negro or any Negro group for the best paper
submitted on an improved method of beauty culture.
St- Louis, Mo , Oct .8—Winner of
the $50 award offered by the Lari
euse Beauty Fouadation l!or the
b<"st paper on an improved method
of beauty culture will be announc
e<l December 1, according to the
director of the foundation
Papers received at the organiza-,
tion’s office, 611 Locust street, be
fore that date will still be eligi-1
ble for the award, it was pointed ^
out- Suggestions submitted for the
award may deal wih any phase of
beauty culture
“The number of entries we have
received from all parts of the coun
try indicates the increasing inter
est of women everywhere in pre
serving and enhancing their natur
al beauty," the director said
The Larieuse Beauty Founda
tion was established last spring
by the Oxiefroy Manufacturing
Co- to “encourage contribution of
suggestions from the Negro public
on the subject of beauty culture "
All beauty suggestions received by
the foundation are tested in a mod
ern laboratory before being made
available to the public
In a recent column, we learned,
easily-broken fingernails can us-1
ually be made strong and pliant if,
they are soaked regularly in warm
olive oil- Since a great many wo- |
men have expressed interest in'
that helpful beauty hint, we’ll de
vote this column to some more in
formation about the care of finger
nails..
Of course, we should never use a
metal file in cleaning the nails The
sharp steel point gouges the skin
under the nail, frequently leaving
a black line that will not grow out
It is best to use an orangewood
stick to keep the nails clean As
an added iprecaution, some women
wrap a bit of cloth or cotton
around the end of the stick if is
unsually sharp.. The cloth can b?
vi: ted around the end of the stick
to leave a point that is sharp en
ough to chan the crevious of the
nails
Household duties often stain the
underside of the nails, making them
look dirty and ill-kept no matter
how carefully we clean them In
this case, we must beach the under
side of the nails, either with a reg
ular bleachng cream, which you
can purchase at your drugstore, or
with some similar preparation
Although lemon juice will help
bleach the nails somewhat, especi
ally if the stain is light, usua’ly a
more active hleach is needed One
of the best mthods is to soak the
hands in a teacup of water in which
six or eight drops f peroxide has
been placed- The hands may be
soaked in this solution a few min
utes after you finish washing dish
es of the evening meal
Ha^grails should be given care
t'i'1 attention to prevent their be
coming infected If the hands are
staked in olive oil occasionally to
keep the skin smooth, and if the
cuticle is pushed back carefully,
thero will be less tendency for the
troublesome hangnails to develop
If they do, they should be clipped
dqwn as dose to the skin as pos
sili’e with a pair of scissors, and
alcohol or some other antiseptic
should be rubbed over the broken
skin to prevent infection
Massaging the fingertips ocas
;i on ally with the fingers of the
other hand will help keep the nails
and cuticle healthy, and will stimu
ate the circulation of the blood un
der the nails to give them a heal
thy, pinkish tint- The massaging
can be done at intervals through
| ou)i the day The cuticle can be
gently pushed back, and the mantle
of skin on each side of the finger
nail stroked in a forward direction
This has the advantage of giving
the fingertips a more tapering
appearance, as well as keeping the
nails healthier.

WRITES |
(For the Literary Service Bureau)
Maxie Miller; I am a girl 20 and
my mother is 35- I have a boy fri
end. 40, a.nd now my own mother
goes to work and falls in love with
him. She tells me so and says that
I am young and I ought to let her
have him and catch me another
man. This man knows about it and
says he loves us both but doesn’t
know which one he loves best- He
says wo will have to decide which
one will marry him.
I am disgusted but I still love
tho man 1 am disgusted with my
mother, too. But, she believes the.'
old saying; “AU is fair in love and
war.” 1 don’t know what to do.
Will you please tell me?—Nellie
Nellie: Thi situation you present
is more ludicrous than serious.
There is something wrong with
this man, and while I do not want
to wish him off on your moaher,
I am inclined to advise you to let
her have him- Perhaps it would not
be long before she would wish you
had not surrendered.
But, since you are young with
many opportunities before you, and
since this man is a simpleton, you ]
would do yourself a favor if you
would drop him and let just any
body have him —Maxie. Miller.

With IRVIN S. COBB
“A Rose By Any Other Name-”
By IRVIN S. COBB
AT A closely contested municipal election in New York the Tammany
^ ticket seemed in grave danger. Accordingly suitatde steps were
taken. Scarcely had the polls opened when a group of trained and
/'SoiTE>ay~'\
experienced repeaters marched into a down-town voting place.
“What name?" inquired the election clerk of the leader of the
squad, who was red-haired and freckled and had a black eye! The
young gangster g'anced down at a slip of paper in his hand, to refresh
his memory.
“Isadore Mendelheim,” he said then.
“That’s not your real name, and you know it! said a suspicious
challenger for the rpform ticket.
“It is me name,” said the repeater, “and I’m gom to vote under
it — see?”
From down the line cam® a voice! /
"Don’t let that guy bluff you, Casey. Soitinly jour name is
Mendelheim!”

friend or husband- Please tell me
what to do
Ans: Your running around with
married men Is what keeps the

men alone and you’ll have a better
chance with the single ones
I). L M—Please tell me about
the ring I have in mind- Is It lost
or what happened to iv ?

way through college this year?
Ans: No however, by playing
on some of the teams in college. •
dotng some kind of extra work,
you can work your way through

you can always find a way to do it.

and enjoy it very much. I would
like for you to tell me if you think
