Nick Kenny has been p'cked to do the lyr'cs Considerable interest has been created over this un'que song and already two publishers are angling for the rights. T'n pan alley is said to be exc'tedly curious to see the results of this fa.sc'nating musical adventure. ■* One of the most unsual song compositions ever to ride the air ways w'lt soon be bradoast- The number, as yet unnamed, is in the act of be'ng composed cooperatively by e'ght famous band leaders in cluding Duke Ellington,WIl Hudson, Cab Calloway, Jan Rubin1, Ina Ray Hutton M'lt Britten, Yascha Bun chuk and Lucky MiH'nder. This interesting mus'eal experi ment 's the brain of M'Hon Berle. radio comedian, and 't grew out of a casual chat with h's fr'end, Duke Ellington. Since a song reflects the personality of *ts writer, queried Bede, why wouldn’t a number com posed by several outstanding and colorful figures possess dazzling qualities? Duke’s fancy was im mediately captured Together they picked the leaders to participate, looking for varied talents and per sonalities. Ellington, genuinely ex cited over the possibil't'es of the novel stunt, has already wr'tten the first two bars of the song and M has been placed in Will (Orgar GIRL RESERVE NEWS Forty-three girl reserves at the Northside YWCA accepted the Girl Reserves purpose and pledged their loyalty toward finding and giving the best.

BEHUTU-f ROmflllCE i An award of $30.00 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,—Hefore giving you h few useful beauty hints for tanking your eyes more alluring, let me remind you that my contest Will close December 10. I ntn going to give $,50 to ttie one who sends me the best beauty sug gestion. Just write a 250-word letter about some beauty bint you hove found useful, and mall it to me at 511 Locust street, St, Louis. Duplicate awards will be made in j case of ties, and the decision of ■ the judges will be final. Your eyes are by far your most Important feature. If they are full ; of life and sparkle, they lend an . indefinable charm to your face. Hut If the eyes are dull and life less, with straggling eyebrows above them and drooping lines of fatigue below them, the whole ap pearance Is spoiled. We must follow the plain, com mon sense rules of health.—plenty of sleep, wholesome foods, some time spent out-of-doors, and a little exercise,—If we wish our eyes to remain clear and attractive. The woman who stays up late night after n(ght, “burning the candle nt both ends.’’ will sooner or later show the marks of fatigue In her face, and tlie lirst traces will appear In Iter eyes. Instead of being clear and sparkling, the whites of her eyes will he dull and grayish. Even for those ot us who lead ' a fairly normal life, there are a few little precautions we can lake to help keep our eyes attractive. If you keep your eyes lived on one point for a long time, the tiny muscles that hold them In plme win become cramped just ns nny other muscle of the body cim become stiff. Tills results in eye-fatigue, and makes you feel tired at the end of the day. If your work requires that you concentrate on an object near you, as In rending, sewing or typing, try (ills experiment: every few minutes, look up from your work and fix your eyes on some point in the distance for a few moments. This changes the focus of the eyes and allows the little muscles to rest. It Is a great help In avoiding eye-strain and fat igue. If your eyes are tired after the day’s work, and you want them to look fresh and bright In tlie eve ning, try lying down lor a few min utes with your eyes closed and plac ing little pads, soaked in cold water or witch hazel, over the lids. Vou’11 find that tills refreshes your eyes considerably. If you have to work in a dusty or smoky atmosphere, It’s a good Idea to wash your eyes in the eve ning. using n little eye-cup that will cost only a few cents. A good eye wash can lie made by dissolving ono-luilf teaspoon of clean table salt In a cup of lukewarm water. f ill the eye-cup with this solution, then lean over and place the cup against the eye. Throw your head back until the eye-cup is upside down, holding It ngainst your eye so (tie solution can't spill. Keep your eye open and look from side lo side In order to wash out the coruei s of your eyes, lint be sure i lie etc cup Is perfectly clean be fore voo u-e It, or your washing non d..
